Obviously a junior faculty would not be given the same freedoms as a full tenured professor and would be carefully viewed as they created their curriculum. But I do believe we have freedom within our lectures to display knowledge, enthusiasm and and overall sense of care for the students. We do have that particular freedom in the classroom in itself.
The main thing that I am upset with is the fact that research has too many restrictions and limitations. It is important to make sure that you recognize prior studies. However, to what extent? Is a reviewer going to decline my work just because I did not include someones name and their study? I think that limits the idea at hand. Sure, you want a study to be grounded in prior literature, but not to an extend where we are required to place a name with your study. There needs to be a balance and a general acceptance of what the main idea is, what the study is grounded on, and is it an original and practical idea. That should be the main focus of research.
