This is Ubers best PR experiment

[@patrinaherringshaw7953]

I have noticed that a lot of companies lately are offering tuition assistance. That is definitely a way to create loyalty for a little while.

[@ThinkAboutMyComment]

Lol, “a little while.” Gen Z’ers

[@bobbullethalf]

Now that’s the way you do it! Use the benefits at companies to get ahead!

[@robertrootes]

One good deed doesn't wash away the years of grief for other drivers that don't get health care or any protection from the company

What's the point of getting an _online_ degree from ASU????

[@thebetterhalf468]

Theres a few. This goes for all colleges and universities. 1. If you graduate, it shows that you can start and finish something. Which is huge to know, especially for yourself. 2. ASU. Has a campus. It's a great state university. 3. Once you graduate, you'll have a lifetime affiliation as an alumni. Which can help 5/10 years down the line if you are ever out of work or looking to change careers. 4. And lastly. KZbin university is great. But there are always gaps in the independent study. At a college, you get groomed into the degree you're pursuing. Being taught by professors who specialize in not only teaching specific courses, but they specialize in the art of teaching. And recognizing when someone possibly have a learning disability. You don't get that at KZbin High. 5. Internships & immersion. Programs that are only offer college enrolled students. Uber is financing the entire program. The college is indeed a physical college, where people arrive and depart. The quality of the course loads are appropriate. Sometimes the name doesn't matter, unless it's an IVY or HBCU. Those programs are huge on alumni benefits, which is why it's a big deal. These days, what's most important is receiving expert training under an academically sculpted road map, delivered by field experts that are also experts in teaching. That's why ASU is valuable opportunity to many. I have a bachelor's. 10 years later, I want to learn Spanish, and I guess I would t mind receiving a bachelor's for it. Especially for free. You think I care which college I learn fluent Spanish? Also, there are a lot of uber drivers from other countries. This would be great for them. Opens doors. A fast track specialized admission. Maybe ASU will never be good enough to serve your needs. But it will serve many needs for many others. Peace

PR or not...someone can benefit from the opportunity! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some companies ain't doing squat for nobody, not even pension.

[@LEM19284]

[@JayAndrelle]

Congratulations to the graduates! Much respect to Uber and the partnering university.

1. Ubuntu as Cultivating One’s Humanity Desmond Tutu, South Africa’s renowned Nobel Peace Prize winner, remarks, “When we want to give high praise to someone, we say Yu u nobuntu; Hey, so-and-so has ubuntu.”[1] For many black African cultures, the more one displays ubuntu, that is, develops human excellence, the better one’s life. This conception of the good life distinguishes two possible ways of living, an animal life and a human one, and claims that one ought to live a genuinely human way of life and avoid living in the manner of a beast or subhuman. Mogobe Ramose, who has developed a philosophy on ubuntu, says, “One is enjoined, yes, commanded as it were, to actually become a human being.”[2] If someone fails to do so, then many Africans would say of him, “He is not a person” or even “He is an animal.”[3] They would be claiming that, although we are biologically human beings, someone who does not live well has failed to develop the valuable aspects of their human nature.[4] A self-realization ethic of this sort differs from other conceptions of the good life, particularly those popular among contemporary Western psychologists and philosophers. Most strikingly, this ethic does not focus on hedonic considerations, such as an individual’s pleasure or satisfaction, features that humans share with animals. 2. Ubuntu and Communal Relationship Many black African societies sum up one’s proper basic aim in life with phrases such as “A person is a person through other persons” or “I am because we are.”[5] These maxims include prescriptive or normative meanings: they instruct one to become a real person or to realize one’s true self, and to do so by relating to other people in certain ways. More specifically, sub-Saharan conceptions of the good life characteristically understand self-realization in terms of communal or harmonious relationships. Augustine Shutte, one of the first moral philosophers to seriously engage with ubuntu, says: Our deepest moral obligation is to become more fully human. And this means entering more and more deeply into community with others. So although the goal is personal fulfilment, selfishness is excluded.[6] So an ubuntu ethic focuses on self-realization, but is also communitarian in nature. This community (or harmony) is an ideal form of interaction between people, a type of relating that people ought to strive to create and to maintain. Community, or communal relationship, is usefully analyzed as the combination of two interactions: identifying with others and exhibiting solidarity with them.[7] To identify with others is for people to treat themselves as members of the same group: to conceive of themselves as a “we,” to take pride or feel shame in others’ activities, and to engage in joint projects, coordinating to achieve shared or at least compatible ends. Solidarity, in part, involves engaging in helpful behavior, acting in ways that are reasonably expected to benefit others. Solidarity involves attitudes, emotions and motives being positively oriented toward others’ good, say, by sympathizing and helping them for their sake. To see some of the appeal of grounding self-realization on prizing such a communal conception of interaction with others, consider that the union of identifying with others and exhibiting solidarity with them is basically what English speakers mean by a broad sense of “friendship” (or even “love”). Speaking of an African perspective on ethics, Tutu remarks, “Harmony, friendliness, community are great goods.”[8] There are similarities between a conception of the good life grounded on ideals of ubuntu and Western notions of eudaimonia and virtue. For Aristotle, there is a significant self-regarding element to self-realization, such as theoretical contemplation or self-control, that does not essentially involve other persons (although it often might in practice). In contrast, according to many salient sub-Saharan worldviews, one is to realize oneself solely through others. Realizing oneself is exhausted by exhibiting other-regard, an approach that is attractive at least insofar as we are considering the moral virtues.[9]
