TASK NUMBER 4

I am totally agree with Bodner's description, I think most of what is taught at schools not goes beyond. Knowledge is given, and independently if students got it, students do not care about if that is true or not, if that new thing that was taught is relevant and how that can contribute to their lifes.

That's why is very important the reflection we make about the teaching practice. Also, I think, that the practice is very important in the learning process, it help us to get a better understanding.

Analysing: SHOULD CHIMPANZEES BE CONSIDERED ‘PERSONS’?

SHOULD CHIMPANZEES BE CONSIDERED ‘PERSONS’? v   Whose viewpoint is expressed? In this opinion article the writer is expressing their frustration for trying to help two chimpanzees which are in captivity. He is claiming the freedom to Kiko and Tommy (the chimpanzees), and what he wants is to help them, but the United States law don’t want to help because they consider animals as a thing, and laws claim for the protection of a person not a thing.

Michael Sandel: What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets

REFLECTION  How does Michael Sandel support the thesis that "over the past three decades we have drifted from having a market economy to becoming a market society?" He defined a market economy as “a tool, a valuable and effective tool for organizing productive activity”. Its means having a balance economy. But a Market society  as Sandel said “it’s a way of life where market values and market thinking reach in two spheres of life previously governed by other values” It means that everything it is a society where just about everything is up for sale, everybody wants to buy everything. What sorts of arguments are offered for and against the assumed proposal of paying young children two dollars for every book they read? Against: The first one is that students just for getting the money will read “stupid books”, they will read bad books which are not going to help them. Another important one, and for me, the strongest one, was about d eveloping passion and love...
