Does the current education system kill the creativity of the students?

To answer this question, first we have to determine the meant 'creativity' term. It could be discussed in two main titles including the social creativity and the occupational creativity. 

Also, we have to think 'schools' and 'educational system' as different objects while we deal with this question. As an example, schools always contribute to the social skills of the students but, a harsh and over-loaded  educational system could cause a contrary  effect.

Our campus has got only 1500 students averagely. As a result, we don't have hundreds of branches of social activities as it was in the other universities. Still, one can develop his/her social skills by attending to the societies or by taking part in the various social events. Even though I don't agree with the idea that schools kills social creativity, I think an over-loaded system can. In addition, I want to share some of my observations about this subject. Since EFL 126 is my first lesson out of my department, I have realized some serious differences between social sciences and engineering departments. In each lesson we take in our deparment, first we take the theories & laws and then the whole remaining part is to calculate, calculate and calculate... But in social sciences one can have dialogues apart from taking directly the knowledge. Moreover, in social sciences one can and discuss topics apart from directly accept them. I think these lack of dialogues and discussions explains why most of the workaholics are engineers facing many problems in their social life.

The second question that I want to argue is ''How does the educational system affect student's occupational creativity?'' There are two main group of lessons that a student could take. The first one is the must courses forming the fundamental knowledge of the job. The second group consists of electives which are dependent to the student's own determination. No matter what his/her department is, one could do art works, or maybe could learn another language. This is all up to his/her. Since these options are available, I think the present educational system directly contribute to our occupational creativity. Steve Jobs, the legend CEO of the Apple, has stated that,  if he had not attend to the calligraphy course as an absconder, the new font design used in Mac's could never been composed. 

To summarize by computer, or to summarize by human...that is the question.

To summarize by computer, or to summarize by human...that is the question.

It is a new trend to use computers to summarize articles. It may sounds good at first sight since it provides with the users much more time and energy. But It is an important question that whether is it ethical or not. Also, is it really summarizing and does it give the same meaning that author aim to ? For a scientific point of view, can we accept these softwares as summarizing tools? I think we can not. Because, these softwares does not summarize articles; they are just finding the common words and giving the sentences including these common words mostly. What if does the writer give the main idea in a sentence only once in which there is not any common word in it? For this case the answer is clear; the main idea could not be reached by using any software. So, what could be done for both a good and a rapid study? Instead of using summarizing tools, reading both abstract and conclusion parts pricisely and also searching for the keywords to reach to the information that we were looking for, could be much more beneficial. This methods does not only save your time, but also forms a more precise and regular study.   

I choose this topic because gun ownership is a serious problem especially for our society. I think doing this survey will not only contribute my writing skills, but also develop our knowledge about the risks aiming society.
I have found several papers about my subject. They include useful statistics and data that I could support my point of view. I have also found some news and graphs about my subject. In my literature review part, I am planning to use all of them. There is only one problem that I could mention about. There is not enough study about Turkey and due to this, I could expand my topic as a more general view including whole world maybe.
