文檔簡介
Do some Major have a gender bias?Some majors attract more women,and some attract more men. Perhaps its genetically predisposed or a result of gender-biased education. As journalism major at Temple University, the majority of my classmates were women. It wasnt an overwhelming percentage, but close to 65. The curriculum was challenging, and the professors were all lifters in the journalism field. From the basic introductory classes to the upper-level courses, each professor pushed for higher-quality writing, more attention to accuracy and detail, and a healthy respect for the grammar police.By my senior year, I had forged close relationship with the professors in the department. I was a conscientious student. I completed my homework on the subway, and sometimes in the few minutes before class started, usually with an A result every time.One of my professors had conference with each student to discuss their strengths and weaknesses, and my conference was nothing but a glowing review. I was asked to tutor other students and I gladly complied. Someone in the journalism department had decided that I was the most promising student. Im not sure which professor, but I had a guardian angel.Then, I noticed that several women in my classes also were experiencing a similar phenomenon. But the men in my classes were struggling, barely making the grade. Was it gender discrimination or were the female student simply superior writer? I think a combination of both was at play.While my friends who were majoring in biology and engineering lamented that professors held the male students in higher regard, I experienced the opposite situation.My professors, both men and women, consistently made comments about the superiority of the female students. I wasnt about to argue, but the bias was obvious.Passionate acts on campusMany of my friends have experienced of a four-day step: on the first day, they meet each other and exchange their mobile numbers; on the second day, he sends her a shortmessagesaying how he has madly, passionately and hopelessly fallen in love with her; and on the third day, he invite her out to see a movie, then he holds her hand in public; so on the fourth day, they become a common couple among the thousands of young lovers on campus. Since I am not the president of university, I dont want to say that there should be a limit on public display of affection. But I just feel doubtful whether it is the best way to show our love in public. Well, unfortunately, I havent found my Mr. Right now. To tell the truth, I really feel jealous of those young lovers. But deep in my heart, I more than once imagined how I should meet my Mr. Right, and how we should display our love in public. My imagination was like this: That would be a rainy Sunday afternoon, and I was wandering in the library. Suddenly, my hands stop at a book called A Beautiful Mind, and exactly at the same time, another boy reached out his hand for the same book. “Excuse me.” he said. Then I raised my eyes, and I saw a handsome tall boy, just like Beckham, with a high nose and wearing a blushing smile looking at my face. Oh, I was drunk with the beautiful feelings I really found him. Weve found our similarity in reading books, and from then on, we should go to the bookstores in our city whenever we were free. And the best scene in my mind to show our love in public is that we lie on the grass land on my campus, and I read a part of Jane Eyre to him, and he reads a part of Oliver Twist to me. Dont you think it is a romantic scene for the young lovers to show their love to each other?Save money for college on my own Finally, I was off to college. Thanks to some careful savings, I did not have to work during the first school year. Then, summer hit and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waiter at night, as a tennis instructor during several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. Being a little overzealous, I decided to also take a class at a community college. This class at the community college saved me $ 650. It was an exhausting summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at college. During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from draining my savings. The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer. That is when I decided to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks. I hesitated in making this decision and had just about decided not to go! Because it would cost me $ 1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my Mum called to tell me that I had $ 1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about. One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip feasible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic. Working long hours did a lot to mold my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar. It also made me learn how to craft creative solutions to difficult dilemmas.Whenever I am overwhelmed or afraid of the future, I can remember my $64,268 miracle.CompetitionCompetition It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels.This is exciting.Yet, on the other hand, competition breeze a pragmatic attitude.People choose to learn things that are useful,and do things that are profitable.Todays profitable.Todays college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism. Many college students choose business nor computing programming as their majors convinced that this professions are where the big money is. It is not unusual to see the college students taking a part time jobs as a warming up for the real battle.I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving licence to get a licence. Well, I have nothing against being practical. practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more intense, studentsdo have reasons to be practical. However, we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine, if your utilitarianism is prevails on campus, living no space for the cultivation of their students minds,or nurturing of their soul. We will see university is training out well trained spiritless working machines.If utilitarianism prevails society, we will s
