Jordan Peterson :

"Intellectuals have become prisoners of their own imagination".

That to me is not the shame of it. The shame of it is, the majority must live with the consequences of their mad dream.

Definitely well named Daffy Duck.

Yes. Western Civilization is very much worth studying. However based on the cost it takes to go to collage, the merits of any college studies has to be practical and job related. Education costs too much to invest in it for the sake of just learning new ideas.

That's where the rub gets in the way in my opinion. The study of western civilization is only practical in a politics degree or a history degree. Both of which could be useful for teachers in highschool, but otherwise unfortunately not worth the dollar amount in a university. Which is sad because it is a subject that is worth knowing. Knowing the contributions of your society is one thing that people are casually exposed to. But knowing the contributions of Western civilization as a whole? That would be worth it to study.

I don't think the study should only be the merits of western civilization, but also the hardships and pitfalls that have popped up through history. That said, there's definitely more merits then shortcomings, so no worries on that part.

Questions;

1. Who gets to design The Study of Western Civilization content?

2. What employment opportunities are gained from The Study of Western Civilization?

3. For whom?

4. Is it just another feel good Course for Forever Students?

Western Civilisation has brought about some great positive changes. Unfortunately, these changes have been abused & the sad result is that this abuse is about to bring an end to this Civilisation. The starting gun for the demise was fired when academics were permitted to enter politics. Pragmatism was thrown out the window & theory became the mentality.
Is this worth studying ? Of course, as long as it opens eyes & minds for a more caring humanity.
