The Claim "Something Cannot Come From Nothing" is Sufficiently Supported

Rational_Thinker9119
Controverter

I will be arguing against my opponent's notion that the metaphysical principle ex nihilo nihil fit is sufficiently supported. Ex nihilo nihil fit is the metaphysical principle, or position, that something cannot come from nothing. Note, how I will not be arguing in favor of the notion that something can come nothing, I will just be arguing against the notion that ex nihilo nihil fit has been justified by my opponent, as I believe that nobody can properly justify it (but tha...

Hirsch"s theory of pedagogy trumps Freire"s

Cultural literacy is fundamental to establishing a strong communication between people. Cultural literacy is referred to "the network of information that all competent readers possess. It is the background information, stored in their minds, that enables them to take up a newspaper and read it with an adequate level of comprehension, getting the point, grasping the implications, relating what they read to the unstated context which alone gives meaning to what they read" as Hirsch stated. Literac...

The Banking Concept of Education is Oppressive

The Banking Concept of Education is fueled by the idea that the students know nothing, and the teacher must deposit information into them. Paolo Freire believed that "Education thus becomes an act of depositing, in which the students are the depositories and the teacher is the depositor. Instead of communicating, the teacher issues communiques and makes deposits which the students patiently receive, memorize, and repeat." Freire goes on to state "Projecting an absolute ignorance onto others, a c...

Is the purpose of education the development of the person?

The purpose of education is development of the person because when a person is taught, they can associate their knowledge they have attained with everything else used in their daily life. As stated by Hirsch, in regards to his views on education, in The Decline of Literate Knowledge, "Why is literacy so important in the modern world? Some of the reasons, like the need to fill to forms or get a good job, are obvious that they needn"t be discussed. But the chief reason is broader. The complex unde...

Education develops a person.

It is impossible to think the purpose of education is the development of a person. Here is why, if we look at Paolo Freire"s "Pedagogy of the Oppressed " we notice he mentions the " banking" concept of education. He goes on to say this " Education thus becomes an act of depositing, in which the students are the depositories and the teacher is the depositor. Instead of communicating, the teacher issues communiqu"s and makes the deposits which the students patiently receive, memorize and repeat."...

Is the banking concept opressive?

Many students go to school dreading it, knowing their day will be filled with the upmost "boredom," Why? Because they don"t want to go to their classes, and it is as simple as that. It could be for reasoning"s such as: having no friends in that class, a dislike towards the educator"s style of teaching or, no understanding of the material being taught. The last reasoning"s is based off the banking concept. This may not be known to the students because they have been going to school for majority o...
