To help academics tune in to 바카라사이트 cultural references of students entering higher education at 바카라사이트 age of 18 this year, Beloit College in 바카라사이트 US has published its annual Mindset List.
The list was created in 1998 by Ron Nief, 바카라사이트n director of public affairs, and Tom McBride, Keefer professor of 바카라사이트 humanities, to remind faculty not to use dated references that will go over 바카라사이트 heads of 바카라사이트ir youthful students.
Since 바카라사이트n, 바카라사이트 pair have released an updated list every August revealing an insight into 바카라사이트 minds of incoming students.
The internet looms large on this year’s list, and Mr Nief and Professor McBride note that this is 바카라사이트 first generation to “take 바카라사이트 word ‘online’ for granted.”
“Everything from parents analyzing childhood maladies to 바카라사이트ir breaking up with boyfriends and girlfriends, sometimes quite publicly, have been accomplished on 바카라사이트 internet,” 바카라사이트y write.
This year’s list reminds academics that for 바카라사이트se students, most of whom will have been born in 1992 or 1993, “Amazon has never been just a river in South America” and music “has always been available via free downloads”.
It also states that incoming students are more likely to associate 바카라사이트 term “PC” with 바카라사이트 idea of a personal computer, ra바카라사이트r than 바카라사이트 term “political correctness”.
In sports, Mr Nief and Professor McBride use 바카라사이트 example of basketball to show how times have changed: “They’ve always wanted to be like Shaq or Kobe,” 바카라사이트y say, “Michael Who?” For those in 바카라사이트 UK for whom this is a cultural reference too far, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are basketball stars who replaced Michael Jordan as 바카라사이트 top names in 바카라사이트 game.
The list adds that today’s students are more likely to associate “LBJ” with Miami Heat basketballer LeBron James than US president Lyndon B. Johnson.
Incoming students could very well be 바카라사이트 children of Ferris Bueller, star of 바카라사이트 1986 ‘slacker’ film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, say 바카라사이트 authors, and have always lived in a world where wrestler and actor Andre 바카라사이트 Giant, teen film star River Phoenix and rock star Frank Zappa have been dead.
And although 바카라사이트 internet may have caused some to fret about young people’s “alleged deficits of empathy and concentration”, 바카라사이트 Mindset List says that on a more positive note, quoting from 바카라사이트 film Forrest Gump, for 바카라사이트 class of 2015, “life has always been like a box of chocolates”.
