What would Socrates Say?

My section is “The 21^st Century Mind”. This section is explaining how the most successful and affective way a persons mind should work in the 21^st century. Peter W. Cookson Jr. describes the section best by saying, “Technical fixes to our outdated educational system are likely to be inadequate. We need to adapt to a rapidly changing world”(par 8). Describing that trying to hold onto the old ways of schools or education would be a poor decision. Today’s technology is way more advanced than before and this can be used in a positive manner. The 21^st century is able to recognize and effectively solve Americas even the worlds greater issues using Cookson’s thought process of Critical Reflection, Empirical Reasoning, and Collective Intelligence. Critical Reflection is listening to the media and being able to distinguish the truth from lies. Take in the important and throw away the rest. Empirical Reasoning is realizing if you believe the supernatural not to rely on it to change our world. “We can overcome our ignorance not with wishful thinking” (par 13). A person is able to educate themselves and be an independent person but Collective Intelligence is saying we accomplish our best when we work as a team. We recognize a problem and resolve it as a team.
