Students don\u2019t fall into any of these subdivisions, because they represent a group that is unified according to a lot of different factors: age, occupation, area of interests. They are not limited to any particular nation or culture \u2013 student humor is curiously similar in most countries, even rather culturally different ones.<\/p>\n<p>The reason probably is that students themselves are not all that different in different cultures, because the way education works is a point of tangency between different states, cultures and nations. As a result, all students are something like this: people who gain relative independence for the first time in their life, undergo a transition from childhood to adulthood, have no full-time jobs, and divide their interests between their studies and social life.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, student humor all over the globe gravitates to almost exactly the same set of topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>dislike for education in general (\u201cDear Board of Education, we are also bored of education\u201d),<\/li>\n<li>humorous description of their activities as students (\u201cHow many graduate students does it take to change a light bulb? \u2013 Only one, but it may take him more than five years\u201d),<\/li>\n<li>their alleged boisterous lifestyle and excessive drinking (\u201cI went to college once and all I got was hangover\u201d),<\/li>\n<li>college sports and jocks who are often perceived as stupid (\u201cWhat does it take for a football player to pass a test? \u2013 Show up\u201d),<\/li>\n<li>and other things that fall into the domain of their interests.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, it would be wrong to say that all student humor is homogenous \u2013 it differs according to the disciplines students study, and differs a lot. Medical students tend to joke on medical topics, and their humor is generally blacker than average, following the example of medical professionals in general; science students will get into the intricacies of their subjects and so on. However, all student humor will retain one common feature \u2013 no matter how complex a topic (always derived from the major subject) is touched upon in the joke, it remains contrastingly juvenile (\u201cGirl, are you a pulmonary embolism? \u2018Cause you make me breathless\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>All in all, student humor repeats the pattern along which every kind of occupational humor develops \u2013 they take aspects of their everyday life that are of importance and interest to them and turn them into subjects of their jokes, paying close attention to things specific for them, cherishing their own uniqueness. However, the fact that it is interminably connected with a particular age and lifestyle leaves its imprint \u2013 student humor can often be characterized by combination of highbrow topics and a completely unserious way in which they are presented.<\/p>\n<p>According to Plato\u2019s theory of humor, it is generally meant to show our own superiority over others (we laugh at those we consider inferior); student humor generally supports this idea \u2013 they are very eager to cherish this period of life while it lasts and show its advantages over everything else.<\/p>\n<p>This article has been written by <a href=\"https:\/\/worldessays.com\">WorldEssays.com<\/a> writers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Student humor occupies a specific place in the overall classification of humor because of its intermediary position \u2013 there are many cases when specific humor is attributed to people belonging to certain nations, religions, cultures, or to people with specific occupations and hobbies.
