Write An essay on how Bill Gates Harvard Commencement Address 2007 motivate and inspires you

English

Leto [7]3 years ago

President Bok, former President Rudenstine, incoming President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, parents, and especially, the graduates:

I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: “Dad, I always told you I’d come back and get my degree.”

I want to thank Harvard for this timely honor. I’ll be changing my job next year … and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.

I applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. For my part, I’m just happy that the Crimson has called me “Harvard’s most successful dropout.” I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class … I did the best of everyone who failed.

But I also want to be recognized as the guy who got Steve Ballmer to drop out of business school. I’m a bad influence. That’s why I was invited to speak at your graduation. If I had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today.

Harvard was just a phenomenal experience for me. Academic life was fascinating. I used to sit in on lots of classes I hadn’t even signed up for. And dorm life was terrific. I lived up at Radcliffe, in Currier House. There were always lots of people in my dorm room late at night discussing things, because everyone knew I didn’t worry about getting up in the morning. That’s how I came to be the leader of the anti-social group. We clung to each other as a way of validating our rejection of all those social people.

Which of the following best explains why the "superior group of students
andrezito [222]

Answer:

B.) The 'superior' group was praised and told they were more gifted, which increased  their self-confidence.

The result of the experiment shows that on detecting their individual abilities, race or other factors, students would self segregate themselves into groups.

Explanation:

The blue eyes and brown eyes experiment by Jane Elliot was to prove to her students that individual differences and complexes can cause factions among them which could separate them and cause enmity.

The praise of the superior group of students by Jane Elliot, instill in them the drive and self confidence to achieve more. Thus, the students felt superior to other group because they had the support of their teacher. But the other group members felt inferior and started developing hatred for the superior group members.
