Alexander Ashe Summary
K. Alexander Ashe article titled “Yes. Education System Overhaul should Include New Emphasis on Financial Literacy” provides a better overall argument, supporting finance classes being a required class as opposed to Wayne Madsen “No. Better We Get Back to Basics” which does not support required finance classes. One reason Ashe was more convincing was she used a trustworthy source to connect and persuade the reader. She showed, the president and CEO of the Council for Economic Education, Nan J. Morrison likens the education of the basic knowledge of finance. She believes students should know the basics such as “how to open a bank account” (Ashe). This shows the reader that the article has factual and trustworthy information. The author also

    John Petersen’s article, “Accounting 101 For The 21 ST Century: A Liberal Arts Education in Carbon,” brought out some prevalent points in regards to the way society has forgotten to properly educate young adults in the area of finance. I agree, “Recent graduates have a lot to learn about budgeting when they leave college” (Petersen 475). College students have to be responsible and learn to only purchase the things that they need instead of buying the things they want. Most students are just getting out on their own, and making financial decisions, but they should be learning how to balance a checkbook. Instead, many of them open credit card accounts, except student loans and find themselves in the negative.…

    First of all, The Unstoppable You by Craig Conrad book is a very great book. There is so much inspiring things that are said. It always has a great stories in it. It has very interesting stories in it about real life experiences. There will always be things that have bad things in them for something to become a great thing in life. Either it has to be something you will have to suffer to get there other people and hurt them. “For the first nineteen years of his life,..” Is telling how this guy went to prison for doing something and then and at the end he learn a real good lesson. My opinion is that is book is really good at how life goes. At times it can go very well and then other times it can go downhill very fast. There will always something that will be waiting for you in any direction you go. Craig Conrad is very awesome for writing about everyday issues and how life really is.

    Finance is a defining subject of study in any business program. The study of finance (along with a number of other subjects, like, marketing, accounting, and human resource management) define who you are as business students. Any student who graduates with a degree in business must have some familiarity with financial principles and financial markets. The first objective of this course is to survey these topics for non-finance concentrators. The word "survey" means that we will not explore every area of the discipline nor will we indulge in advanced study of any area. The second objective of the course is to introduce students who are interested in becoming finance concentrators to topics that they will study in more depth in later advanced courses.…

    Have you ever thought about that time when you were empty? I mean knowledge wise. It can be referred back to the infant stage or even that time in history class when you had no idea what imperialism was or what it is about. Well according to Freire this is where “ The Banking Concept” takes place. As he mentions on page 477, the banking concept is basically saying that students are empty containters that will be filled with education by their teachers.…

    The purpose of the Financial Literacy Promotion Project is to provide an opportunity for the chapter members to demonstrate the knowledge and skills needed in planning, organizing, implementing and evaluating a campaign to educate chapter members and the general public or an organized group about the importance of financial literacy. To be financially literate, one must be able to confidently read, analyze, and manage their personal finances to lead more secure and satisfying lives. The most basic areas include banking (managing checking and savings accounts), budgeting, and setting and implementing financial goals (short term to retirement). To set and obtain financial goals, one must have a working knowledge of investment instruments, borrowing, and insurance. Further, financial literacy includes an understanding of employment benefits, taxes, and other payroll deduction options. Maintaining good credit can save an individual a significant sum of money in interest savings, insurance premiums, and may even affect one’s ability to secure employment. The Financial Literacy Promotion Project is a chapter project that develops the economic and marketing knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in a global economy. After learning the economic principles associated with financial literacy, chapter members will utilize their marketing knowledge and skills to communicate the benefits of financial literacy to others. The project may begin at any time after the close of the previous chartered association conference and run to the beginning of the next chartered association conference. The Financial Literacy Promotion Project provides an opportunity for chapter members to • demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of financial literacy • engage in activity(ies) that clarify and enhance understanding of financial literacy • plan and implement a presentation or activity(ies) to educate and promote…

    Submitting children to this form of oppression through this education suppresses a person’s natural instinct of inquiry: an instinct that challenges systems that are currently set in place to bring about change in our modern day society. Through banking education, people are not taught to fill in the missing clues and thus are not even made aware that there are gaps in their “knowledge” in the first place. A belief that all that is known is what is being taught becomes a mindset that is hard to escape. There is no need to venture if all that one needs to know is right in front of them. This is why students do not see the oppression they face in this system.…

    Over two thirds of people under the age of twenty four realize they do not know enough about finances, and are losing money because of it (Norvilitis). The reason young adults lack this knowledge is because schools rarely have financial classes. Even if such classes are offered, students see few reasons to take them, as getting accepted into prestigious colleges may require classes like math and science instead of those. Another problem is the parents, who do not teach their kids enough about finances and how they work. Children rarely seem to have the knowledge growing up about the importance of finances, saving money, and being cautious with spending your money. When it is not taught at school, it becomes the responsibility of the parents to assume that role, a role that many times is not filled. Without the correct knowledge, many children grow up lacking the thought of keeping track of their expenses, paying taxes, and putting money into…

    In Paulo Friere’s article “The Banking Concept”, Paulo argues that the banking method is an efficient way of learning in the education system. The students are to sit down, stay quiet, received information, memorize it, and then remember it. Since this method requires them to simply memorize the information, the students don’t completely understand fully the information that they are taking in. The underlying message here about the banking concept is that the teachers feed students the information, acting as if they are completely informed about the whole subject, and then suggesting that the student knows nothing. There is no relationship established between the student and the teacher. The student…
