Every university's economic situation and priorities varies. While some universities can self-sponsor their activities, most universities do need external assistance. Therefore, it is unbeneficial to criticize the presence of a socially responsible company on campus, which is benefiting education.
Regarding the vendor relationship, she centers her argument on the notion that tech-firms are greatly influencing the curriculum and thus negatively influencing college education. She writes, "Faculty members are very much involved in helping to select software packages for students or in setting the parameters for hardware purchases for their units, most faculty are clueless about such processes. These decisions are frequently based on the expectations that future employers have for graduates: Can a future project manager use Excel? Can an engineering student solve modeling equations with Matlab? Do the architecture students know AutoCAD? Are your students facile in some discipline-specific modeling software? Where have all the Apples gone?"
She argues that development is hurting diversity and open-mindedness. However, she overlooks the fact that government funds for universities had been on the decline since World War 2. This leaves universities exposed to the requirement for...
Corporate sponsorship and philanthropy are perhaps the only source left for the universities. Also the prehistoric notion of time-consuming and introspective attainment of education, understanding and skill has been swept away by the trend of market-pressures. At present, the slogans comprise of productivity, effectiveness, and profits- downgrading the education-obtainment immensely. Universities have got to step up and respond to these pressures otherwise America will be left behind their counterparts, such as, Japan, Germany and China etc.
Conclusion
It is useful to ponder on the question whether putting a Pepsi-machine on campus is more of a loss, than, say, doubling or even tripling the size of the class to avoid spending? Is the Pepsi-machine different from research sponsored by corporations? If the answer is affirmative than how does one differentiate between the two? To put it more precisely how is commercialization not good for the college campuses, and how does one know that it is not good? In spite of everything, corporations have been the leading institutions of America and are perceived positively by the greater bulk of the society. Therefore, the invasion of corporations and the commercialization of college campuses is not bad at all.
A recent study conducted by researchers at MIT which focused on the alleged conservative bias in the 'News' promoted by the FOXNEWS network illustrated that, quite indeed, there are great and applicable implications to the broadcasting of information which is inherently biased as being news. This alters the content, context and opinion promoted therein. And consequently, according to the study from 2007, there are observable social and political implications to these distinctions. Indeed, a connection between
Emotion of Love and Its Commercialization Sexual love and marriage is a central theme in the lives and culture of human beings throughout the world. With very few exceptions, even the most diverse societies share the general concept of romantic love and the ritualistic importance of the monogamous union between man and woman (Ackerman, 1995). Certainly, major components of the complex emotions and physical urges that we associate with romantic
In comments about the store, consumers again note price as an inhibitive factor when it comes to shopping at Millennium Health, again signifying that consumers are aware of and able to pay a premium for certain desired products and services, which pretty much paves the way for ongoing gentrification in the neighborhood if those tastes start expanding. There are also two prominent and always-busy independent eateries on this block of
A "New York Times" reporter notes, "But unlike some other patents on animal cloning, this one does not specifically exclude human from the definition of mammals; indeed, it specifically mentions the use of human eggs" (Pollack). Another writer notes that there are virtually no limits on what a patent can be issued for, and so, the patent office can potentially issue patents on any number of controversial or ethical
Painting as a Leisure Activity History of Painting Humans have been painting pictures since roughly 15,000 to 17,000 years ago. How do we know? The oldest known paintings were found on the walls of a cave near Lascaux, France, by in 1940 (by a dog named "robot" who led four boys into the cave). These extraordinary cave paintings (of very large animals: horses, bulls and stags), were tested through carbon dating and
It is very hard to map the intricate brocade of a human mind onto such a machine with a reasonable resolution, but the formation of artificial intelligence or machine intelligence is anticipated to offer an approachable challenge. It maybe a device with full Turing-test interactivity which is capable of fulfilling our wish or would be an interlacing dense layer of memory around a shifting model of existential realty, and
