So, I just encountered the best student paper I have seen in my illustrious 6-week teaching career. It was titled 'Learning how to Live for a Living,' and began with this awesome quote from Charlie Chaplin:
"Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost."
I won't quote the paper itself without permission, but it was really sharp...
Made my night.
