Sorry this is soooo sooo late!!
Sorry, this blog is way late!
Last week we broke off into groups to discuss what we got from reading Lyotard. We had sections three and four and while that had a lot of concepts we mainly focused on one. He goes on for quite a bit on the point of University and how it has changed so much. He basically says that there was a time when it was a privilege and honor to go when now it is just about expect from everyone if they want to have a career and support themselves. People used to go to college to better themselves intellectually and set themselves apart from everyone else- it seems like now we just go to get that piece of paper. Are colleges too shallow now? We can graduate and get those degrees... And then what? Still be in competition with everyone else. Are we really paying to be set apart?
