Does earning a Baccalaureate degree make you an intelligent person?
Claim: Earning a Baccalaureate degree does not insure a person's intelligence.
Reason: Because intelligence is learned throughout a person's lifetime in many different ways, not just in a classroom.
Warrant: Intelligence can range anywhere from common sense, book smarts, and experience. You need all of these to call yourself "intelligent." I'm majoring in Athletic Training, and in this field you have to have all of these. When growing up, I was taught that you needed common sense more than anything else, but in my major you also need a great deal of book smarts and experience as well. They all need to flow together, you need one just as must as the other.
This is the same topic I chose and I agree that earning a Baccalaureate degree does not make a person intelligent.
