Major Concept

The major concept that I learned in class was that we are essentially training ourselves for the world of tomorrow. We are getting educations for jobs that do not even exist in the present. It’s all about handing down the torch to our generation. “We look to reincarnation to explain our lives.” This class has taught me that after everything is said and done, the older generations are going to die off and it will be up to us to shape the world. “As if a child could explain our lives” I have learned that this is not going to be easy, far from it. There is a lot of pressure on our generation and what we are learning and experiencing must be strong enough to meet the demands of an ever changing society. We are not learning to pass the test; we are learning to succeed in our lives for the older generations, and the generations that taught us. These are the very people that we will be representing when we do change the world. “We rise again in the faces of our children; we rise again in the voices of our song,” We are the success of the past living in the present working to change the future. That’s all what I have learned in Dr. Preston’s boiled down into a nutshell.
