Leader: Robby Followers: Jason, Riley, Shawn, Gabby, Christian, Jake
In this weeks discussion group we talked about the People repeatedly taking shortcuts which in turn does not make it a shortcut any longer, it instead becomes a regular or beaten path. We all agreed that in the short sight, shortcuts benefit you, but in the actual long run they are less helpful. We talked about taking shortcuts through real life examples, such as cheating on a quiz and then wondering why they did poorly on the exam. It is because they were short sided on getting a good grade and not actually learning the material. Shortcuts also take away from creativity and individual thinking and gives people their options instead of allowing them to actually think for themselves. Our discussion group hit all aspects of the stated question by Robby and we all agreed that it is a fair assessment to say that shortcuts do not actually help anyone and are not a positive theory as stated by Percy.
