The Thomas Sowell Reader reveals fascinating perspectives on many concepts that I now look differently at such as an education today being too dangerously liberal. But one perspective that interests me most is his view on welfare. In a welfare state, citizens are livestock that is fed by the government through the taxpayer's money. The welfare policies that the government produces reduce the citizen's incentive to work because through unemployment, they're guaranteed food stamps and welfare checks to live. They become veal.
I realized he is saying more than his text. When someone is given something without effort, he'll hold it with low marginal utility. With everything given with no effort in return, the incentive to confront adversity decreases. In the end, everyone in a welfare state will become couch potatoes.
For applicants to Columbia College, please tell us what attracts you specifically to the field or fields of study that you noted in the Application Data section.
My fascination of biology is sustained by one concept, how is life structured? In daily life, everyone bends their muscles, get colds, ages, and etc., but how? Biology and its many fields are the answers to the question, but the important question to ask is why do I want to know how? I want to know how life is structured because once the structure is known, it can be manipulated to yield new intentions. To clarify, HIV virus can resist drugs and medication by mutating which is why many medications work temporarily before the mutation occurs, but if one can understand the mutation patterns of the HIV virus, then progress is made. With patterns, medication against the HIV can be more effective and longer termed as the next mutation can be predicted and countered against by drug control. Just by understanding the structure of life, it can be manipulated to yield desired intentions.
Please tell us what you find most appealing about Columbia and why.
Columbia appeals to me because it nurtures a doctrine that I strongly believe in: How one sees will impact how one succeeds. While reading a Columbia student's blog, I was interested by what the student had to say about the university's core curriculum. He read The Wealth of Nations through an economist lens in one of his engineering classes and read it again through the lens of moral and political thought in Contemporary Civilization. He later replied that this core curriculum gave him a unique perspective that he could only find at Columbia University.
I'm fascinated by how Columbia puts a high emphasis on perspective in its core curriculum because I hold perspective with high marginal utility. I want to gain an education that gives me the most insightful viewpoint of the world around me so I can utilize it to further myself toward progress while still pursuing my aspiration for molecular biology and Columbia is the university that offers this in a nice package.
