Blog 7: Annotations of a Thing I Don’t Like

I have no goals for my annotations. I just point out what I think. This also isn’t something I would annotate any more than I already did.

 

  1. Yo-Yo Ma, a cellist and song-writer writes about the importance of art in education. Originally published onĀ World-Post, a partnership between the liberalĀ Huffington Post and the Berggruen Institute on Governance*.
  2. If I weren’t reading this for a class, I would have never finished it. I do come from a more science-based background, so I may have had a negative opinion because of that. I agree with some of his concepts, but disagree on his idea of implementation.
  3. He is talking about having more art within STEM education. He sites a few things in neurology to show the importance of the logical and emotional sides of our brains. He also talks about how we need both to have a more fulfilling life.

 

*Berggruen Institute on Governance: Now just the Berggruen Institute is dedicated to the design and implementation of good governance within the globalisation context.
Sarabande: A slow dance in triple meter, of Spanish origion.
Silk Road Project: Now just Silkroad is a project dedicated to the cooperation of artists to promote multicultural exchange.

    Nick,
    As always, I appreciate your honest reactions. Slow down and articulate Ma’s main argument. Does Ma really argue that he “wants more art in STEM?” I sense he is asking for something a little more complicated than this.
