Rose vs. Black

One is an educator the other an entertainer. Both are trying to convince the audience and both seek to point out holes in our educational system. Because Rose has actual experience being a teacher, and working with the educational system he offers more insight and details on exactly what needs to be changed and even goes as far as to give ideas of some small changes. for example not using economists in the school system, or using corporate words like "nonstarter" or "incentives". He seems to make some insightful points that will help me develop a good quality paper. Black on the other hand is speaking out in order to entertain an audience. He uses shocking statements to keep one interested, and I feel the purpose of his speech was not to give advice on reformation but to bring to light the downfalls of our current system. I really did not learn anything new from Black. If there is anything I could take from his performance, it would be his style. Making shocking point blank statements can be alluring to an audience that may or may not care what I have to think or say about our future education system.

  1. Yeah I find it interesting how black just mocks but, has no real plans.

  2. Same here. His lack of any kind of planning just shows that Black's argument was meant mostly to entertain.
