Clarisse Musau English 1301 Patricia Baker Strange Tools Response Paragraph I have never been a big fan

of reading. Reading is not the only source of getting educated, for in this day and age of fast evolving technology exist many different medium of acquiring knowledge. I have read a couple of books myself that I did find enjoyable such as: The

Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli that contains many concepts in which he describes the necessary use of force. Machiavelli glorifies instrumentality in state-building an approach embodied by the saying that "the ends justify the means." Violence may be necessary for the successful transfer of power and introduction of new legal institutions. Force may be used to eliminate political rivals, to coerce resistant populations, and to purge previous rulers who will inevitably attempt to regain their power. The Prince taught me to think differently and not to be a conformist. The movie about the book was even memorable than reading the book. Although reading is n tool in education, but for visual learners generation a different is needed to educate student. Using tools such as movies, videos games, and social media might the best medium to grab people attention and encourage students to stay motivated.
