[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]isn't lived experiences redundant? Colleges should be encouraging students to be clear, concise writers by avoiding such phrases. [/quote]

No, it’s not redundant. Read the thread. Plenty of explanations. [/quote]

Do you have an example of a personal experience that is not a lived experience?

Lived experience refers to experiencing something yourself rather than obtaining knowledge about something passively, ie through media or secondhand.

Writing about a non-lived experience in a college essay would be ridiculous.  Agree with the person above who said the word "lived" is redundant.[/quote]

An "experience" is going on a mission trip to "help" people in poorer countries. Lived experience is actually growing up in those conditions. You're welcome. [/quote]

The meaning is exactly the same if you take out the word lived. It’s unnecessary to make the point.

The  meaning of "exactly the same"  is the same if you take out the word "exactly" . It's unnecessary to make the point. Look who's the snowflake lib now! [/quote]

lol![/quote]

Snowflake and lib are redundant. Keep trying.[/quote]

Nothing left of your argument. Nothing left but word games. [/quote]

But you like word games. Which is why some of you are so desperately trying to split hairs here. If you actually had an interesting story to tell you wouldn't need to call it a lived experience. The experience would speak for itself.[/quote]

"Lived experience" is a defined term, distinct from experience.

"Personal knowledge about the world gained through direct, first-hand involvement in everyday events rather than through representations constructed by other people." Also "In phenomenology, our situated, immediate, activities and encounters in everyday experience, prereflexively taken for granted as reality rather than as something perceived or represented;" and also "From Althusser's structuralist Marxist perspective, all human activity, which he emphasized is not a given or pure ‘reality’, but a ‘peculiar relationship to the real’ which is ‘identical with’ ideology."[/quote]

"Lived experience" = Marxist nonsense. Therefore when they ask you about your "lived experience" they are asking you to generate the sort of Marxist nonsense that your Marxist professors will want to hear. This is good practice for you! If you are not a Marxist who is capable of parroting the party line, you really won't fit in at an elite university. Probably you should go to trade school. [/quote]
