In Ted Kolderie’s review “Young People are All Right: The Problem is Adolescence”, he writes that The Dumbest Generation by Mark Bauerlein is a book that is an assault on anyone under the age of thirty. He mentioned how in his book, Bauerlein went over “how little people under thirty know, how little they read, and how their fascination with screens (television and computer) fails to produce learning.” He then talked about how the author is upset with the “digital enthusiasts” and those who tell the young people that they are a great generation. Kolderie then talked about the book The Case Against Adolescence written by psychologist from the University of California San Diego Robert Epstein, and how his argument was that “Adolescence infantilizes…
Emory University’s English professor, Mark Bauerlein, became beautifully transparent in his published article, “My Failed Atheism”. He shared his testimony of how he has constantly struggled with summoning up a belief in God all throughout his life. However, unlike most proclaimed atheists, Bauerlein admits that he wants to believe with all his heart. He quotes in the eleventh paragraph, “The discovery [of atheism] didn’t free me, it crushed me.

Mark Twain’s life is full of quotes and passages we can all relate to. But there was one that stood out to me when I did my research reading “Plan for the future because that 's where you are going to spend the rest of your life”. (On planning for the future by Mark Twain. (n.d.)) This simple idea from Twain made perfect sense after I really read into Letters from The Earth from our text book. (Twain, M., & Doyno, V. (1995)) Twain in Letter II writes about Heaven with “His heaven is like…

what other districts are doing and what their money source tells them to do. Elections are not cheap and the people that donate their money are behind the scenes making the decisions. When a board votes on banning a novel from the curriculum, most of the votes are dependent on what they feel. No fact comes to light when a decision is being made. They are allowed to make decisions that affect thousands of students solely based on their opinion. They are restricting the students from gaining their…
