What was Gerald Graff’s main argument in the article?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Historian of the profession and of the profession’s arguments, influential commentator and spirited critic of the educational practices that havedefined literature and composition classrooms, forceful advocate for the profession in the public sphere—Gerald Graff stands as the profession’s indomitable and indispensable Arguer-in-Chief. In his books Literature against Itself, Professing Literature, Beyond the Culture Wars, and Clueless in Academe, Graff invites all parties—students, teachers, scholars, citizens—to gather where the intellectual action is, to join the fray of arguments that connect books to life and give studies in the humanities educational force.

    Chicago born and educated in Chicago’s public schools and at the University of Chicago and Stanford University, he became John C. Shaffer Professor of English and Humanities and chair of the English department at Northwestern University, then George M. Pullman Distinguished Service Professor of English and Education at the University of Chicago, then associate dean and professor of English and education at the University of Illinois, Chicago. A founder of Teachers for a Democratic Culture, a president of the Modern Language Association, a presence in Chicago-area high schools, a speaker at over two hundred colleges and universities, Graff has taken our profession to task for the gap between academic culture and the students and citizens of our nation. Critic from the City of the Big Shoulders, he has argued compellingly that the strength of our profession resides in the plurality of its voices and the potential of its classrooms to reveal sprawling, brawling democratic vistas.

Francis March Award for Distinguished Service to the Profession of English, Modern Language Association of America, January 2011

   

Graff’s major influence on education, particularly on the classroom practice of teachers, is reflected today in the Common Core State Standards for K-12 schools:

the Standards put particular emphasis on students’ ability to write sound arguments on substantive topics and issues, as this ability is critical to college and career       readiness. English and education professor Gerald Graff writes that “argument literacy” is fundamental to being educated. The university is largely an “argument culture,” Graff contends; therefore, K–12 schools should “teach the conflicts” so that students are adept at understanding and engaging in argument (both oral and written) when they enter college. . . .            —Appendix, “The Special Place of Argument in the Standards”

Graff’s argument that schools and colleges should respond to curricular and cultural conflicts by “teaching the conflicts” themselves is developed in such books as Professing Literature (1987; reprinted in a 20th Anniversary edition in 2007), which is widely regarded as a definitive history, and Beyond the Culture Wars (1992).   His idea also inspired a series of “Critical Controversies” textbooks which Graff co-edited with James Phelan.

In Clueless in Academe (2003) Graff analyzed (in the book’s subtitle) “how schooling obscures the life of the mind,” and argued that schools and colleges need to demystify academic intellectual culture for all students, not just the high achieving few.  This book led Graff and his wife Cathy Birkenstein to publish a writing textbook, They Say/I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing (2006), which continues to set records for adoptions by colleges and high schools.  Graff (and now Graff and Birkenstein) has given hundreds of invited lectures and workshops, and his work has been the topic of three special sessions at MLA conferences and part of a special issue of the journal Pedagogy.  Graff served as the President of MLA in 2008.

In this acceptance speech for Nobel Peace Prize, how does Albert Schweitzer convince the audience of his position of peace?
-Dominant- [34]

This question is not complete and this is the complete version i found.

Let us dare to face the situation. Man has become superman. He is a superman because he not only has at his disposal innate physical forces, but also commands, thanks to scientific and technological advances, the latent forces of nature which he can now put to his own use. To kill at a distance, man used to rely solely on his own physical strength; he used it to bend the bow and to release the arrow. The superman has progressed to the stage where, thanks to a device designed for the purpose, he can use the energy released by the combustion of a given combination of chemical products. This enables him to employ a much more effective projectile and to propel it over far greater distances.

However, the superman suffers from a fatal flaw. He has failed to rise to the level of superhuman reason which should match that of his superhuman strength. He requires such reason to put this vast power to solely reasonable and useful ends and not to destructive and murderous ones. Because he lacks it, the conquests of science and technology become a mortal danger to him rather than a blessing.

In this context is it not significant that the first great scientific discovery, the harnessing of the force resulting from the combustion of gunpowder, was seen at first only as a means of killing at a distance?

Select the correct answer.

In this acceptance speech for Nobel Peace Prize, how does Albert Schweitzer convince the audience of his position of peace?

A.

repeating the metaphor of gunpowder

B.

using his expert testimony on peace

C.

generalizing the flaws of science

D.

comparing the human to a superman

Answer:

D.  comparing the human to a superman

Explanation:

Albert Schweitzer tries to convince the audience of his position of peace by comparing the human to a superman in order to show how man thinks of himself as super powerful because of simple technological and scientific discoveries.

He first starts by recognizing how the advances in technology has greatly enhanced the strength of man and how man can do more and perform more accurately with less effort than before. He then goes on to add that such superhuman strength requires superhuman reason so it will not become a curse.

According to him, without superhuman reason, man will continue to use such advances in technology for harm and wars and killings instead of for reasonable and useful ends.
