Week 2 Prompt 2

"Of Studies"


CA:  Sir F. Bacon believes in the importance of studies on how it can change people.


Sir Francis Bacon was an English man that lived sometime in the 16 to 17 century. He was an old man of many talents and occupations. Sir Francis bacon’s understanding on studies is about the capacity it has to make a difference in person life, for anyone who utilizes it. Studies are important It definitely changes a person thinking and character, whether they become good or worse depends on their studies. People may find it boring or interesting, but after the time that put in, a sense of accomplishment in felt. It feels good. I agree with his central argument because of three reasons, sports, Feudal Class System, and to inherit experience.

Most people assume that sports have nothing to do with studies. They think Academics and sports are two different fields. To learn a sport, people need to study, more practical than theoretical. There is some knowledge present in sports, and it can change a person character and life. Studies is the indirect influence on changing character. Money, fame, awards are the variables that actually change character, but they all link, and connect back to studies.  Take Video gaming for example, a lot of people don’t consider it a sport, but there are still many tournaments. The genre’s of games can change a person. The game its self is a book. Violent games, Games with use of bad language etc; can change character. Games area actually put into different levels that equal to an age of a human being. From + three to +18. Books are also classified according to the level of knowledge a human has. Fishing can change a person. It may sound boring; people may think there nothing to learn from the spot.

The Pyramids are unique sturcures. The ones in Egypt and the one that classifies humans. The pyramid that was used to denote lasses in humans was based in education and character. At the top being the most educated, and at the bottom, the least educated. Everyone else just filled up the empty space, which gave rise to new classes. In England, and In India there were classes. When the english, french etc colonized the world, they had a Pyramid, with whites on the Top. Since white people at that time were considered educated, they changed character, they either grew good or worse in their minds and the colonzed. When countries broke away from colonization they adopted the same Pyramind. In India, The Brahman's were the learned ones, and they had education and automatically had character. This supports Sir F.Bacon's argument of out doing everyone else.

While studying, a person naturally gains experience through practice or through theory. Reading or conversations, knowledge is just flows and changes according to the moment. Knowledge gained outside class, or work also boots experience, gives a person the upper hand. This supports Sir F. Bacons argument that people study to gain 

There are more reasons and conclusion to what Sir F. Bacon is suggesting. Sports, Experience, and Outdoing the opponent help a person.
