college education. It also seeks to explain where the two authors
contradict in terms of their
justifications.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way
through our political and
cultural life nurtured by the false notion that democracy means
that “my ignorance is just as good
as your knowledge” (Milner, 2010). Anti-intellectualism is
simply the glorification of stupidity.
This is a problem that have affected many college students since
most of them think that they do
not have to read anything about a ground of acquaintance prior
to dismissing it with their own
theories. My Struggle with Anti-intellectual is a blog that
claims, the world is full of stupid
people and that we should spend more money on those few

4. people who are smart. According to
Paul Stoller, most college students go to school thinking that
going to college is a bridge to a
good office job. Instead, he urges people to critically think
because college learning should be
more than a job preparation. In support of his argument, he says
those with a below average IQ
are not supposed to go through the 4-year college course.
In the article “What is wrong with vocational School”, Charles
Murray’s argues that close to
half of the students who enter collage need to remedial courses.
He also says that most student
attending college is to obtain a good office job. In his article, he
discusses the manner in which
gifted students as well as those who are bright are hurt by the
pressure to go to college. Murray
says that we should invest more in educating those students who
are good in class and the gifted
should be pushed trough vocational training rather than pushing
them through college life which
is intern a difficult path to go through.
In Charles Murray argument, he makes life seem very difficult
by challenging the

5. establishment of Higher Education institutions. In his writing,
he tries to suggest that the bright

students are superior that the gifted students. This is evident by
the fact that he says that the
gifted students should not be judgmental and should be

6. respectful to the bright students. He also
suggests that that American education is full of full of stupid
students. This is evident by the way
he suggests a girl with an F is at the 20th percentile of
intelligence and nothing could be done to
change her. He says that the girl is not smart and should not be
in college.
In the argument of Paul Stoller’s writing “My struggles with
Anti-Intellectual” he points out
that the idea of going to college is a critical thing and that
critical thinking is needed before
attending college. He says in the past they knew going to
college was not an easy thing (Cole,
2011). He also says the most students are believed they can do
it without the knowledge.
Both writers believe that anyone has the many chances and
opportunities to pursue in life.
Murray proves this when he encourages the gifted students to
become Craftsmen instead of
struggling with college education. On the other hand, Paul
Stoller encourages students when he
says he chose to be a writer instead of being a Lawyer. Paul
also says that failure in life is normal
but we should try other ways (Grant, 2014). This contradicts

7. Murrays writing because he says
that life has the capable ones and the incapable ones. However,
the two arguments have a
difference in tone variations. Murray seems to be very tough
and makes the world look to be
very difficult. On the other hand, Paul Stoller has a slightly
light tone unlike Murray. He at least
makes the world to seem a better place to live in by stating
failures in life are normal and we
should look for alternatives. Nevertheless, both authors believe
that education is crucial to our
lives (Biesta, 2015).

Tone is a fantastic point of comparison, but you cannot include
it in the conclusion if it was not mentioned in another
paragraph.
Briana
Sticky Note
I think you have a general understanding of what is being said
in the two articles. You're off to a good start!
There are some areas that need to be worked on. First thing, you
should not be quoting authors other than Murray and Stoller,
especially because you are not providing any background
information about these other individuals. Secondly, you need
to include more relevant evidence to support your claims.
Lastly, I would include an additional paragraph about tone to
help the overall flow of your essay.
