The Consequences of Following the Crowd, an Essay
When we hear the word “consequences,” we tend to think “negative.” According to Dictionary.com, however, the definition of consequence is “the effect, result, or outcome of something occurring earlier.” This definition illustrates that consequences can be both positive and negative. This holds true with following the crowd – you might lose your sense of self, you might believe dangerously false information, you might even be pulled into a mob intent on killing or otherwise harming others. However, you also have a higher likelihood of getting that amazing job or getting into exclusive clubs. You might even be mistaken as having traits that society deems “positive,” just because you hang around people who have those traits. It’s all about nuance and having the responsibility and common sense to determine which consequences are positive…and which are negative.

A Complete Rethinking Of The Very Concept Of Education
Never before has American education been in as precarious a situation as it seems to be at present. For over ten years now we have seen many governors' summits, and a host of commissions, committees, panels, unions, boards and business executives trying to warn citizens that American schools have become dysfunctional and are in dire need of repairs. And for over ten years the results of student performance have worsened despite the billions being spent to stop the downward trend. Perhaps the time has come to stop and try to examine the problem rationally. It is not the first time that American education has reached a threshold at which only radical solutions seem to be called for. This time, however, reformers are calling for a systemic reform, a complete rethinking of the very concept of education. As politicians, educators, academicians, psychologists, sociologists, and CEOs entered the fray, the well-intentioned movement became murky and increasingly chaotic. It soon became clear that the reformers truly intended a clean sweep of what education had meant to Americans.

ROLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN SUPPORTING THE ECOSYSTEM OF INNOVATION
It is often said and believed that education shapes the man into what he needs to be. Man forms groups and groups form communities. These communities can grow into able societies. If the basic unit i.e. man is not developed enough there is very little chance of yielding individuals that have innovation in their minds. This is because, at the initial educational stage, young minds are like blank papers. If these papers are utilized to think for themselves, they continue to become effective thinkers and better innovators. With initiatives taken by Stanford Online Classes, there has been much discussion on what makes the ablest minds.

Difference Between Content Marketing and Content Strategy
Content is basically all around us. No matter what we do, or where we go, we will find content around us. Wherever we go around the city, we will find words and phrases around us that are regarded as content. Be it advertisements or any billboard, there will always be content and phrases around us. The thing about content is that without any strategy or clear goal setting, all the content you write can go to complete waste.
