This may be a great tactic to use for students who are in middle and high school, but not for students who are in early education such as daycares. It would be great if all students could follow that model, but extremely drab and not very informative. This is why teachers, specifically teachers in early education, need to reevaluate how they conduct their lessons to better suit the learning capabilities of their students.

“Choices made regarding Ani’s preservation cannot escape political implications, and contests over the site’s meaning should be acknowledged rather than ignored and engaged in rather than silenced.

Rubbish in Design

INTRODUCTION

In so doing, artistic expression has metamorphosed from a rather distanced engagement in "mundane" (made into loftier expressions by professional artistic design) into an actual immersion into day-to-day actualities in order to render "real" objects in different kaleidoscopic representations, particularly in still and video installations. The emergence of rubbish (assuming "rubbish" is disposable objects ridded ...

The target populations were in particular mentally disabled people, called “feebleminded”, who were considered a burden for the society, and who were believed to carry the genes of the disability and transmit it ...

In his endeavors, he explained that, most of the human population mainly bases our lives on the beliefs of others. However, in the struggle for wholeness or individuation, we struggle so much in search of our own knowing (Walter, 1988).

The dictionary defines a stranger as “a person whom one does not know.” But what happens when the stranger is oneself?

The protagonist sees life as arbitrary. He attaches no emotion to the happenings in his life. As a result, he looses his self-identity, becoming a stranger to himself. The story is of importance because ...

In Octavia Butler’s Kindred, one cannot fail to see the intense representation of the African-American lifestyle in the decade of 1970s. Perhaps one of the greatest illustrations is through the character Dana. In the novel, the key protagonist Dana carries a journey back and forth through time. One can argue that Dana’s journey through the past is a reminder that while slavery would be in the past, its effects are still as raw as it were yesterday.
Just like many African Americans, Dana was sure that she had ancestors who were affected by slavery; however, in order to ...
