Discussion 3

In the first essay G. K. Chesterton believes that "without a gentle contempt for education, no gentleman's education is complete." which mean without a drive to strive to be infinite in education your education never be complete, so why would you need it if you are great on your own. He believes that man can only achieve success is with education and without it. To be successful with it is only because it is required in our society. the paradox in this essay is "No man who worships education has got the best out of education."

In the second essay by John Steinbeck, he says we contradict ourselves about how horrible our government is but yet were trying to spread it to other countries as if it were the best in the world. He talks about how we talk as if our way of life is heavenly and Great while some people suffer from unemployment and the homeless we have. The paradox is that we Americans complain about everything but yet we recommend our same tactics convinced they are good.
