Okay, so I think I have a semi better idea of where I want to go with my paper. I am thinking that I will argue that even though we live in a community of knowledge where we depend upon each other’s expertise in a field to learn, piggybacking ideas is detrimental to your overall learning. Specifically looking at the university forum. I am thinking that I will discuss how we learn, what the most effective ways to learn are, and why piggybacking ideas does us no favor. As I specifically look on college campuses, I can relate my argument back to how when we are going to college, we are supposed to be learning things for our own. We are about to enter the real world with a career and need to be able to handle things on our own. Many people give in and go with the flow on things, but students at a university should avoid doing that at all costs. If we do go with the flow on hot-button topics, it shows how ignorant and uneducated we can be. We give in and go with the flow on things because we think we understand all of the facts of the matter but we ultimately don’t. I think that as we come to acknowledge our ignorance and take a step back to evaluate the sources on our own, we can become better educated and informed individuals––the thing we are trying to accomplish in becoming as we go to college.
