World View Benefits, Arguments, and Reasons

            There are so many different benefits to drafting our papers with out world views leading our thought processes. They could help make our papers better; to give our opinions on the things we believe and see. If anything, it would help the teachers and professors to understand what kinds of views the students have, and possibly open them up to new ideas. They could use these views as examples for other prompts in different classes, or uses the papers as readings for the students. These sorts of things could help the students get used to writing about world views and then the professors could begin to open them up to new ideas and views.

            Bizzel is right to the extent that academic world views and world views cannot coexist together. Sure, the students know their world views from younger ages, but they do need to move up in their views. Getting new ideas and learning about what is going on in this day and this time is still a good thing. We students cannot just focus on the past and what we learned back then. We need to be opened up to other bigger views.
            Then again, students should keep their old world views during and after college to have a history of what they believe and know. It could be useful when writing a term paper or when having an intellectual conversation with someone who may have the same views or would like to be informed of someone else’s perspective. Students should also keep the new world views and the old ones too and not forget what was before and it could someday help them in the future when analyzing their new world views.

  1. Good response. I agree that we need to learn new ideas, while also remembering what we learned in the past. If we do this then we can tailor our viewpoints as necessary. The only negative thing i have to say is that you didn't really mention the author's ideas that much.
