As a student, have grades helped you to learn, or have they hindered your learning? From my own experience, I could argue both sides of this question. If I've studied hard and learned the subject material well, and then got a good...

evadhar Hi artistry, you make an interesting point with your statement that the grade you received was an "indication of how the teacher thought I was doing." I wonder if we, as students, learn how to figure out what a teacher wants and then we strive to please that...

evadhar Hi rjvb26, In your dream of becoming a successful and a better person, do you view your grades as an indicator that you are proceeding along the correct path towards realizing your dream? Just curious. Thanks for the response.

evadhar Hi Hatley, you make a great point that grades are supposed to be an indicator of how well you are doing in a particular subject. However, is that always true? It seems to me that there are a number of assumptions being made that may or not be entirely true....

If a system of reward and punishment is the lowest form of learning, what is the highest form of learning? We are immersed, from birth, into systems that condition us to act or think according to arbitrary standards. We are...

evadhar I agree that people, in general, don't take care of themselves as well as they could or should. I think there are a number of reasons for this. One would be that the information from the medical community is often confusing and more frequently conflicting. One...

There is a saying that destiny is already created before we are born and ascertained by divination. But some contradict this, for they believe that destiny depends on the people who choose their own paths throughout their life....

evadhar I don't believe in preordained destiny. I don't believe that our destiny is already set for us when we are born. I think we are born a blank slate, and that everything we believe is either taught to us, or learned by us through our life experiences. If you are...

Nowadays, many people opt to buy e-books than to buy a 'real' book... Because of our busy schedules we no longer have the time to seat down and read a good book while having a cup of coffee/tea... Some people on the other...

evadhar I prefer a real book. I have purchased several ebooks and I find them difficult to read. With a real book, you can stop anywhere, bookmark your page, and then easily pickup where you left off later. With an ebook, you have to find the file, wait for it to...

evadhar I think efficiency and effectiveness are inversely related. In other words, there is a point where efficiency and effectiveness are maximized for any endeavor. Beyond that point, an increase in efficiency results in a decrease in effectiveness and vice versa,...

evadhar How about "Diversity in America: Real or Imagined?" Diversity is such a buzzword now amongst the politically correct. We see references to it everywhere. I think it would be a great argumentative essay.

Self-control is love's strength What do you think that statement means? Do you agree? When I first read the statement, I was actually thinking about natural birth control well, perhaps I'm just way way...

evadhar I don't think that self-control has anything to do with love, nor should it. To me, self-control means restraining oneself from our natural impulses, emotions and desires. It means resisting our temptations. Regarding love, true love means we are committed to...

evadhar I don't think you grow old with someone as much as you grow comfortable with someone. It takes time to really get to know someone. Sometimes we confuse a particular attraction as a life-long desireable trait and then we discover that trait is not all that...

evadhar Efficient and effective are both relative, and comparative terms. They both require specificity to have meaning. Effective means producing the desired result, where desired is the key specific. Efficient means producing the desired result with minimum input....
