SDLC 105 Learning Journal #9

[Enzo Vargas]

I don’t like the topics of these articles. You can’t really say someone is just “smarter” because intelligence isn’t quantifiable and bound to knowing more languages than someone else. I wouldn’t say bilinguals are smarter rather they possess a set level of cognitive skills that surpass those of monolinguals. You can be “smarter” in languages, but doesn’t that make you “smarter” at knowing complex mathematical theories? Intelligence covers too many topics and areas where any one ability would make someone distinguishably “smarter” than anyone else. I know people who are really good at learning languages, but others who are also adept at understand complex mathematical theories, however, these areas of intelligence don’t intermingle.
