-Students entering universities in the current era have seemingly one track minds; students thoroughly explore the subjects of their immediate interest.
-Students do not communicate effectively and rely on themselves to retrieve all the necessary answers without reaching out to others.
-Students may have the intelligence that universities require, but they do not have the skills to use their intelligence to their complete advantage; students do not think critically.
Our culture is at fault when it comes down to the way students act in school, specifically on the account of students' who lack critical thinking skills. In America, laziness has become an evident and habitual lifestyle for many. Although many Americans undoubtedly succeed in the cut-throat workforce, many might be afraid to fail when committing to this lifestyle. The slogan "go big or go home" is too prominent in America. Yes, there are ultra successful people like Bill Gates or Warren Buffett, but they shouldn't be setting the 'standard of living' for the rest of the American people. Our society lacks moderation: either one drowns in complete failure or they swim in mega-success, but there is no happy medium.
Students are most attentive to the subjects they are good at, because there is a good chance they will succeed in that particular subject. This is a major reason for why students do not develop the necessary well rounded skills that universities look for. Students are focusing in on subjects they will most likely pursue later on in life and forgetting the rest of what education is about: developing a set of versatile skills.
