In today’s discussion group we had a very large turn out and discussed how people take shortcuts today without even realizing they are actually even taking shortcuts. We talked about how memorization is not affective and in the long term does more damage to us than actually good. We also talked about how even teachers do this, by class after class using the same teaching methods and power points they are ultimately taking shortcuts. Percy would agree with these concepts and say that it is true that we take shortcuts without even realizing that we are doing them, until we take a step back and truly think about it. We all came to the same agreement that taking shortcuts is not good for us down the road and that everyone sometimes unknowingly takes shortcuts in life. I believe that what much of Percy wrote is comparable to every day life interactions and we don’t even realize it, unless we pause and take a step back to think.
