pedgagoy cont'd

This liberal arts education can have great potential to change society. Education is seen as an attempt to foster cooperation within society. As a result of this paradigm shift, the civilized life of the university is no longer lived "alone but in concert" (293). Creative thought and innovative developments, previously considered to be the halmark of profit-motive driven forms of education (the benefits of Microsoft's profit margins for us all) are instead rejected in favor of creative thought that benefits society (the developments of open source Linux software, as a counter-example).
