Finally, education in the arts alters forever the way we perceive the aesthetic world around
us. Prior to education we respond instinctively, emotionally, and viscerally to the forms, colors,
and sounds of art. Post education we respond intellectually. We seek to appreciate what art
reveals about our culture and about humanity. We also seek to understand the aesthetic
principles upon which true art is founded. For instance, an earnest art student learns to see not
just pigments and shapes but also historical influences and aesthetic principles. An informed
listener of popular music hears not just the same pleasing sounds and pulsating rhythms as
their naive counterparts, but also the rhythmic meters, harmonic structure, and compositional
forms used by the great classical composers of previous centuries, and which provided the
foundation of modern music.
To sum up, through education we no longer see our heroes, leaders, and idols through the
same credulous eyes, nor do we see other humans and their ideas through the
black-and-white lens of our own point of view. In the final analysis, through education we come
not only to perceive the world differently but also to understand the subjective, and therefore
changeable, nature of our own perceptions.

"The way students and scholars interpret the materials they work with in their academic fields
is more a matter of personality than of training. Different interpretations come about when
people with different personalities look at exactly the same objects, facts, data, or events and
see different things."
The speaker asserts that many laws are ineffective in solving society's problems because
moral behavior cannot be legislated. I agree with this assertion insofar as it relates to

constraints on certain personal freedoms. However, when it comes to the conduct of
businesses, I think that moral behavior not only can but must be legislated for the purpose of
alleviating societal problems.
Morality laws that impinge upon freedom of choice about our personal lives--to control what
we do with and to ourselves--simply do not work in a democratic society. People always find
ways to circumvent such laws, which ultimately give way to more lenient laws that
acknowledge personal freedom of choice. The failed Prohibition experiment of the 1930s is
perhaps the paradigmatic example of this. And we are slowly learning history's lesson, as aptly
demonstrated by the recognition of equal rights for same-sex partners, and current trends
toward legalization of physician-assisted suicide and the medicinal use of marijuana. In short,
history informs us that legislating morality merely for morality's sake simply does not work.
