Right-Brain Girl Receives Left-Brain Degree — Say, What??!!
You have heard or read about all this left-brain/right-brain dichotomy stuff; how left-brain people are more into information, numbers and facts; while right brain people are more into creativity and ideas. Well, leave it to Katie to demonstrate that as with all dichotomies, it’s not a case of “either/or,” but rather “and.” Human activity requires cooperation from both sides of the brain, which Katie does well. She is very creative and loves designing things, making use of high-level imagery and spatial skills. If you totally buy in to the dichotomy, you would conclude that such skills are not useful when it comes to math/accounting reasoning. Wrong!
Today, Katie sent an email to family and friends announcing that she has completed her MBA in Accounting. So, is she an “idea” person, or a “numbers” person? Or, does it really matter? Katie is Katie, and by completing her MBA she continues to demonstrate how a network of people and organizations can bring human minds together to share ideas and experiences.
By making use of today’s computer/telecommunication technology, much learning is taking place in what we currently like to call “virtual reality.” Even her graduation will take pace in virtual reality. Of course, there is something to be said to having a “virtual graduation,” which implies your control over the experience. Sounds like potentially a more real experience than most I have been a part of in higher education. But then . . .
All reality
involves the active control
of our point of view,
which we designate as reality.
Thus,
if reality is what we think is actual
can we truly comprehend reality?
Is not all reality virtual?
