week 11

1) A person has Baccalaureate degree, but they weren't content with their field of study, so they only half heartedly worked toward their degree. Also, they cheated on the final exam that they took right before getting the degree. Can they still be considered intelligent?=I don't believe that they would be considered intelligent because why get a baccalaureate in a field you weren't truly happy with. in many ways thats just being stupid. You should go and get a job or baccalaureate that makes you happy and you can put 100% in.
2) Bill Gates was a college drop out. Do we consider him intelligent? Why or why not? How might this affect your criteria for your definition of intelligence?-yes we do consider him intelligent because was able to make more money than most people that did went to college. he was able to create a computer system that everyone uses everyday.
3) A man with a BA goes into politics and proposes going to war with another country. He knows the war will drag out, and he knows many people will be killed during the duration of it. Was this an intelligent decision? Are people we admit are intelligent allowed to make unintelligent decisions from time to time? Why or why not? How might this affect your criteria for your definition of intelligence?- In a way he isn't being very intelligent at all. why go to war with a country if we have no reason too. Now are these people allowed to make unintelligent decision is ok from time to time but not all the time because if they do then how can we trust that they'll make the best choices for this country. yes this can effect my definition.
