It was very well...I really loved reading your blog. It was very well authored and easy to undertand. Unlike additional blogs I have read which are really not tht good. I also found your posts very interesting. In fact after reading, I had to go show it to my friend and he ejoyed it as well! <a href="https://www.eurostaryurtdisiegitim.net/bulgaristanda-universite-okumak-icin-gerekli-sartlar-nedir/" rel="nofollow">yurt dışında üniversite okuma şartları</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849725093230119195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167286824441717563.post-65738600975341797512012-01-25T22:57:52.192-08:002012-01-25T22:57:52.192-08:00I feel much the same way, I'm glad that I was ...I feel much the same way, I'm glad that I was opened up a little to the reality of how small I am in the world and how little it is possible to know, but that makes it hard to come to conclusions and write papers and all that, ha.<br /><br />I heard an interview with Chuck Klosterman once (on This American Life maybe?) where he was saying that he lived in Germany for a while but hated the questions "What is Germany like?" and "What are Germans like?" coming from his American friends because he didn't want to generalize at all. I didn't like his attitude about it but I sympathize.<br /><br />So I don't think it's interesting to be like that and say that I know nothing about the world because I never can know anything, but I think it doesn't hurt to qualify statements by admitting my limits. The only challenge then is not to undercut myself too much in an academic paper or other setting where I should be persuasive and confident.<br /><br />I think. If all of that makes sense.rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842454535072476245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167286824441717563.post-23128952096753536712012-01-24T21:34:26.185-08:002012-01-24T21:34:26.185-08:00I sometimes have a hard time with the Feinberg art...I sometimes have a hard time with the Feinberg article ... I've spent a decent amount of time abroad, but I still have a really hard time claiming that I know anything at all about the places I've visited. I've been on three field studies to India that constitute a cumulative year in the country, and, still, when people ask me what India's like, I usually start to answer by saying "Well, this is what <i>my</i> experience in India was like ..."<br /><br />I guess I just have a hard time feeling okay claiming to be able to represent anyone but myself. So when Feinberg criticizes these students for only talking about themselves when they come home, I have to ask, "Who else can they talk about, really?"<br /><br />Anyway. I think I'm probably over-sensitive about this kind of thing, but would be interested if you have any further thoughts about that.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11303157975743168509noreply@blogger.com
