California State University
            I agree with Margaret Mead. Because Americans do believe to succeed in life you have to have amazing grades which is true don’t get me wrong, but it’s more than grades that is going to get you somewhere. You must have people skills, must be street smart and book smart at the same time.
Margaret Mead was arguably the most renowned anthropologist of all time, contributing to the development of the discipline, as well as, introducing its insights to thousands of people outside the academy. Her work continues to contribute to the understanding of people around the world today.
Margaret Mead, was a strong proponent of women's rights, who shone a light of understanding on human nature, and a clear and forceful entity who provided much knowledge to the field of anthropology and psychology.
The California State University (Cal State or CSU) is a public university system in California. Composed of 23 campuses and eight off-campus centers enrolling 437,000 students with 44,000 faculty members and staff,[4] CSU is the largest four-year public university system in the United States.[2] It is one of three public higher education systems in the state, with the other two being the University of California system and the California Community College system. The CSU System is incorporated.
CSU is high-quality, accessible, student-focused higher education. It is the, the most diverse, and one of the most affordable university systems in the country.
            Mead argument is really strong in my opinion. I feel like she uses great details. Describing how Americans celebrate and admire the one who gets the highest grades, voted most attractive or most likely to succeed. But while we often rejoice in the success of people far removed from ourselves, people who work in another profession and live in another community.
            I feel like if Mead was a high school student that she wouldn’t hang out with a lot of kids, she would be upset with everyone because she doesn’t really have a lot of people to express her feelings to others and she would not be social.

            That’s why I agree with Margaret Mead and at the same time I disagree with her.
