promt # 1 Discussion question #2

Bizzel is right to a certain extent, while we are in college we have to adjust our minds as we learn. In order to do so we must give up some of our original views of the world, but as knowledge takes over ignorance shouldn't our minds adjust any way? As we grow throughout college eventually we will form our own thoughts of the world and the original view may only be a small part of something extremely complex. As we grow with knowledge we must continue to hold on to who we are or we will be lost thinking as the world wants us to and not as we should as an individual. Being able to think "both" ways is a skill that sometimes is not always acquired by everyone who goes to college. Thinking academically is helpful in school, and once we finish school is helpful as we start careers and build lives, but thinking critically as we originally did before college, helps us in life. Not our professional lives, but our personal lives with our families and friends who expect for us to be "street" smart as well. We have to have the ability to communicate professionally as well as on a personal level with our original home dialect.
