Liberal Education, Section 33 by Moni ka https://padlet.com/monikashehi/h1btc36mz1bj Please repost your responses from 10/18 en-us 2016-10-20 14:03:48 UTC 2016-10-20 14:05:08 UTC hello@padlet.com The debate over whether or not to invest in a liberal education depends on the understanding of said education’s serviceability after exiting the educational landscape and entering the professional one. The perception that liberal education is either an expensive luxury or actively counterproductive is unfounded. <b>Liberal education is vital in developing creativity, teaching the ability to think and write critically, developing more coherent ideas and arguments, and building a broad foundation of knowledge.</b>               Liberal education is in itself a platform for critical and creative thinking that drives innovation, furthering the betterment of society and also personal success in the professional landscape.  https://padlet.com/monikashehi/h1btc36mz1bj/wish/132094177 2016-10-20 14:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/monikashehi/h1btc36mz1bj/wish/132094177 https://padlet.com/monikashehi/h1btc36mz1bj/wish/132095503 In In Defense of a Liberal Education, Zakaria argues that the perception of liberal education is that it is actively counterproductive or an expensive luxury. Liberal education provides students with broad knowledge such as: science, English, and society. In our opinion, liberal education is pointless and expensive. We should have the option of taking other courses that do pertain to our career instead of liberal education classes. It is a waste of money to take courses that we do not feel are beneficial. 

We believe that liberal education classes take up time when we could be preparing ourselves for our career. It is also very expensive and leave people in debt while giving them no benefit. Many students who are forced to take liberal education courses will take little or nothing onto their career field. 

In conclusion, liberal education takes up valuable time and it costs valuable money. It leaves many people in debt with no skills to overcome it.
