I agree with the essay/I

I agree with the essay/I liked it. I don't think it resembles another cell in the beehive or competitive family quarrel. I think its important to bring different majors and studies together because different subjects make students think in different ways. Plus, it benefits others because it broadens their horizons/thinking style/opinions etc, and it makes students think about topics through different lenses. Like amanda, I kept thinking about phase 5 from McIntosh's essay. This collaborative/interdisciplinary style of teaching could be the next thing/step to a better education. Especially in a world that is becoming global and companies/people/countries are reaching out to each other, why not bring that same idea into the classroom setting?
