People who suffer from the type I diabetes have to experience a lot but if it is a small boy who has to struggle against the illness it is more tragic and we can see this in the given text. Jacob was a little child when he first had an opportunity to understand how it is to be different from the others. But still in the elementary school it had been easier for him to maintain his treatment, particularly his injections, than it appeared to be in the middle school. It can be explained by the factor that at that age it ...

In your view, why did Lu Hsiu-lien and many others in her generation become advocates of "Taiwan independence"?

Taiwan independence is a politically-motivated movement who primary aim is to form an independent and sovereign Republic of Taiwan from the lands that are currently governed by the Republic of China (ROC) (modern-day Taiwan) and claimed to be owned by the People’s Republic of China (PRC, China). It aims at renaming the Republic of China to the Republic of Taiwan and obtaining the status and recognition of a sovereign state internationally.

This movement is divided between two major coalition organizations: Pan-Green Coalition and Pan-Blue Coalition. While Pan-Green is in favor of the objectives of the movement, Pan-Blue seeks to oppose ...

1. List and explain five things that people know are true?

The truth is existence of the opposite. For everything that people believe they determine its existence through it opposite. Joy and sadness are two opposite which could not exist without the other. Man and women are also considered opposite. Without opposition nothing exists; hence people, have to believe in the existence of opposition first, before they believe in the existence of everything they conceive (Scruton 43). The second truth is that they exist. This truth is accepted by almost everyone. The evidence that people believe that they exist is that they (themselves and other people) is that they interact ...

One program which specifies strategies for anti-bullying in schools is Norway’s Olweus Programme which was developed by Dan Olweus. This program focuses on adult engagement with the teachers taking charge of the strategy. The program strategies are designed to be used at the school-level, classroom-level and individual level. The Olweus program puts emphasis on the adult’s role in maintaining a safe and positive environment in school, as well as at home. Unacceptable behaviors are identified. The program suggests that non-physical and non-hostile sanctions should be done when the rules are not followed.

Aside from anti-bullying, there is also a ...

In her article, “‘My veil does not go with my jeans’: veiling, fundamentalism, education and women’s agency in Northern Cameroon”, Jose van Santen (2010) outlines the impacts of Islamization of West Africa on gender by sharing her mentoring experiences with Maimouna, a girl who grew up being subjected to the Islamic fundamentalists in Cameroon. The story takes us on a journey through Maimouna’s childhood, where we meet her Islamic parents who, by all respects, are very lenient and let her follow her own path. Maimouna is drawn by the potential knowledge she can gain by going ...

- The main purpose of this article is to highlight how stress affects the life of students in college and how they can tackle stress through meditation. The article explores two different meditation based programs – Kabat Zinn’s mindfulness-based stress reduction program (MBSR) and Easwaran’s Eight Point Program (EPP). The article further details the key observations and conclusions that were derived by conducting a study on college students. The final conclusion derived from this research was that the two stress reduction programs are indeed effective in lowering the stress level among college students and adults.

Critical thinking is a desirable value in every profession that each individual ventures into. In education, critical thinking has been considered as one of the most required value to students. Through critical thinking, individual students are able to think clearly while analyzing their goals, examining all the possible assumptions and skillfully offering judgments that are useful in accomplishing all the goals and be able to assess situations before making valuable conclusions. Thus in this context, skillful thinking is used to denote valuable tool for disapprovals as well as useful in formulation of workable solution to complex personal as well as ...

On the other hand, Wolff sees the university as the pursuer of simple truths in various areas and the institution responsible for the preparation of young people for the pursuit of these simple truths. Finally, Readings envisions a scenario where the fragmentation of university as a factor that can be put be leveraged on and put to good use. While all these perspectives are true in their own rights, it is this paper’s contention that Kerr’s assertion is the most defensible. This paper will discuss why the university is a loose federation sufficing for the satisfaction of diverse needs.

The big five test is used by psychologists to assess the personality of a person. The test consists of fifty statements that on must rate in the scale of 1-5. The test results say that I am relatively open to new ideas; I am well organized and reliable. I am conscious to other people feelings. In addition, that I can remain calm even in the tense situations. The results are true. This is because they have told my personality just as my friends tell me. I learnt that I needed to change the way I handle my friends and people ...

There are two main categories of contracts. These are written and oral contracts. Jones and Nussbaum had a valid contract that is enforceable. It is vital to note that all contracts whether made orally or written are enforceable if they are valid. Therefore, the agreement between Jones and Nussbaum was enforced breach which entitles the innocent party to redress. The facts in issue in this case are whether Nussbaum is entitled to be compensated for doing work that involved costs and the same was not evidenced in writing. This is despite an express provision within the contract that all work ...

Questions of ethics have troubled humanity since the dawn of time. In the Book of Genesis, the first controversy involved the decision to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil – in other words, to know that it was possible to commit evil, and to experience temptation. The serpent couches this as the chance to be like God; when the first couple actually eats the fruit, though, they find that the possibility of evil in the world is not a source of empowerment but instead is a recipe for tragedy. The consequences of their decision only takes ...

I have always been interested in selecting a career path that covers my educational needs and that, which provides me with proper skills to handle my job. The traditional bachelor’s degree programs as well as the Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science Degree requires fair amount of formal college level academic proficiency in different basic areas such as political science, English, philosophy, history, sociology, and the natural sciences such as chemistry, math, biology, and physics. However, despite these similarities, the Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science (BAAS) is more of a vocational degree, which provides the learners with the preparations ...

Having seen the interview on YouTube, I have to say that I was not impressed by what I saw or heard. The interviewer was biased and her aggressive posture as the interview went along was a total give-away. The interviewer was unfair to Aslan, and in most cases, kept asking the same question again and again without justification. It was also obvious that she tripped, as her emotions got the better of her. Aslan was so convincing with his response that Lauren Green, the interviewer, made the interview so personal and hit out at Aslan, without even thinking about her ...

The accuracy of the second language use has for long been a center of focus among many societies. The societies placed high expectations on people on how they should use the second language in communication. Adherence to the rules was something one had to observe without any compromise (Chang, 2009). However, things took a new direction when Hymes came up with the idea of communicative competence in 1970s. In this policy, the knowledge of the speaker on the linguistic rules and the socio-cultural rules of speaking that apply to the second language was equally regarded. This was a time when the trends ...

As a cohort study, the article “Development and evaluation of a short 24-h food list as part of a blended dietary assessment strategy in large-scale cohort studies” provides information about how German residents were used as samples for developing a longitudinal research on their food intakes in the last 24 hours. Freese, Feller, Harttig, Kleiser, Linseisen, Fischer, Keitzman, Six-Merker, Michels, Nimptsch, Steinbrecher, Pischol, Heuer, Hoffmal, Jacobs, Boeing and Nöthlings aimed to investigate the validity of dietary assessment. The authors of this study followed two objectives: to identify the foods consumed by German people during the previous 24 h and to assess the ...

According to Burns (99), learning is comparatively permanent change in behavior, whereby behavior is the observable activity as well as internal processes such as attitudes, thinking and emotions. Burns holds that learning may not show itself in observable behavior immediately the educational program has happened. Learning occurs in different settings such as at home, during play, at work or more commonly, at school. In formal settings, learning takes place in a classroom, library or laboratory. Teachers facilitate learning on different levels. On the other hand, apprenticeship is a combination of training on the job and related classroom instruction through the supervision ...

Introduction

The aim of this is to conduct a critical synthesis on a particular problem that has plagued the society for quite some time. This is the problem of childhood obesity. The most common reasoning that comes to mind when one witnesses an obese child is that these kids must be excessive eaters. In fact, every kid who exhibits obesity tendencies is often thought of as an excessive eater. Is this assumption justified? Is it true that obesity in kids is primarily due to excessive eating especially that of unhealthy foods commonly referred to as “junk food”? The assumption that the ...

Culture psychology

Culture psychology is the study of how behavioural and psychological tendencies are embedded within the culture. This essentially means that one’s culture directly influences how they are “tailored”. The fact that the mind and culture are inseparable serves as a major tenet in cultural psychology. Here, psychological processes are shaped by local cultural practices making an individual stand out just because of their culture. It is within this field of study the 4I’s of psychology come. Namely these are: Individual, interactions, Institutions and Ideologies. These directly affect how individuals behave and relate (“Psychology,” 2002).

Traditionally, colleges follow a top to bottom strategy, where all the major curricular planning takes place at a leadership level. Even there are myriad educational institutes, where the liberty of choosing the subjects is limited. On the other side, there are many upcoming educational institutions, where student-let curriculum is an emerging phenomenon. With excellent educational system in United States and United Kingdom, the educational planners are still concerned with high percentage of dropouts in the first year of university that is 25% in United States and 11% in United Kingdom (Yorke & Longden 2006, 16). This scenario causes immense problems for universities, ...

The use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, a social or political issue, seems to be in question. The opponents to the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes stick to the same argument of social and at times religious effects. The support of the movement seems to be basing all evidence in the far-reaching uses of cannabis beyond medical application. With Washington and Colorado both recently legalizing marijuana for recreational use, it reopens the debate about whether or not marijuana should be legal for medicinal purposes in the United States. A look at the current research, an analyzing the argument of ...

Public education and awareness on the harmful effects of Marijuana is the major health policy evident in the podcast. Despite the fact that there is no major evidence on the therapeutic effects of marijuana use, the drug has been legalized in most states. More people are thus involved in the procurement and abuse of the drug. The author underscores the danger that is posed to the developing fetuses because of the constant use of the drug by pregnant women. Notwithstanding the massive awareness that was done on the harmful effects of tobacco and other drugs on the population, none ...

In the article Students Behaving Badly, Richard Flacks seeks to explain the attributes of college and university students today. Their character and mannerisms, he says, are highly influenced by their backgrounds in terms of family, race and education. He made his point of view known from the onset of his findings because he tries to draw comparisons on what happens in college and universities today from what used to happen many decades ago. But then there is a problem with the way he puts forth his findings because the environment in which the studies are done is quite different. The ...

The self-portrait is probably the most important painting in the repertoire of the artist since it defines the character and vitality of the subject matter. A self-portrait is an important statement about oneself apart from also being intrinsically linked to an artistic development. I approached the self-portrait issue with some trepidation, since this has been the remit of several great artists over the years, and several have been studied in detail, apart from offering important guidelines about that particular artist’s work (Smith, Kelly, 1997).
The practice of portraiture probably began with the Ancient Egyptians when it was ...

Stability in the development of the higher education depends on the funding that is used to finance the required equipment and facilities in the institution. The important issues are to ensure that the higher education has sufficient and suitable equipment to deliver a high quality teaching and research that meets broader perspective on the educational, social, cultural and economic goals (Paulsen & Smart, 2012).
Resources are vital and fundamental in supporting learning in higher education. Therefore, financing of the institutions makes it available for the learning facilities. In so doing, regulations to control this sector are required to prevent over ...

In the book Emile, Rousseau borrowed a lot of thinkers that came before him. He had the arguments of John Locke on teaching and education. Still, he quite remarkably combined the arguments of the preceding philosophers to form a coherent and comprehensive teaching system. Using the medium of the novel, Rousseau was able to dramatize such that they reached a wide audience. Rousseau saw the system of education as married to nature that had characteristics of harmony, and concern for the learner as well as the learning process itself. The premise of this argument was the preservation of the original perfection of ...

Discuss this statement in relation to two areas of knowledge.

Two areas of knowledge discussed in this essay relate to religion and ethics. However, a sound definition of concepts must be advanced before profound discussions on the subjects religion and ethics are embraced. Religion was considered the opium of the people by the Philosopher Karl Marx (1818 – 1883). Marx perceived the facts embodied in religion as well as rituals and beliefs to be nothing more than systems used to subjugate people. Precisely, it was exploitation of man by man, the powerful exploiting the powerless; rich by poor; owners of the means of production by those who work for them (Bulbulia. ...

Recently, the role of a managerial accountant is widely discussed in the scholars. Johnson and Kaplan (1991) argue that management accounting is “too late, too aggregated, and too distorted to be relevant for managers’ planning and control decisions” (1). Haedr (2012) considered the mediation effect of management accounting information on motivation using contingency theory stating that “MAI usefulness accounts for a full (i.e. complete) mediation effect only on the relationship between centralization and MCS effectiveness.” (n.p.). As the number of views cannot present a unified opinion on the matter, the purpose of the current paper to reveal whether the functions of the ...

David Olson, Candyce Russell and Douglas Spenkle’s model provides useful insights on matters of family structure. The hypotheses presented aid in analyzing how strong or weak relationship is between members of the family. It addresses both marriage and family in sixteen subdivisions. These divisions are determined by cohesiveness, communication and flexibility. These foundations define a good relationship and a weak one. Cohesiveness is the ability to build a bond between people in the family or marriage. This ought to be balanced in order to develop a strong relationship. A couple or family ought not to be disengaged or enmeshed and should maintain a good balance. ...

Sonia Sotomayor

Sonia Sotomayor became the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice in August 2009, and the third female justice in the history of the Supreme Court (Greene, 14). This is a remarkable feat by any standards, and as she recounts in her book, My Beloved World, the journey to the Supreme Court was not easy. The book recounts her childhood, growing up in the projects in Bronx, through school, and through her career up until her appointment to the Supreme Court. Though one would expect a book by a person of her stature to contain jurisprudential and philosophical views, the book does not contain ...

According to research studies, bullying is among the main causes of suicide among school students. For instance, researchers reported that in 2007, approximately a third of all students aged between 12 and 18 years had experienced bullying in school. Even though bullying has been a serious problem in school, most of the bullies get away with their mistakes because victims fear to expose their actions. However, parents, teachers, and students have a role to play in the fight against bullying in school (Burroughs, 2011).
First of all, states should endorse policies that promote safe and supportive environments for students (DeNisco, 2013). ...

Personal work ethics are the rules one sets for him/herself that will dictate his/her attitude towards work (Goodwin, 2007, p.55). I believe that work is a fundamental aspect that has led to the development of our society and the world in general. Without it the world we are living in has undergone massive transformation due to the work people do. Even though work is an act that is initiated from within an individual factors such as educational background and culture have great influence on how people will perceive work. People from a society which view work as a blessing and leads to ...

The three periods of feminism development

In general, the history of feminism can be described as the narrative of the ideologies and movements which are aimed at establishing, defining and defending equal economic social and political rights for women. Feminists all over the world have always differed in goals, intentions and causes depending on culture, country and time. Irrespective of these differences, most western historians of feminist’s interests have always considered all movements and acts that push for women’s rights as feminists movements. History of the modern western feminist is divided into three periods of times. These periods vary slightly in their aims ...

Introduction:

The idea of trusting, and mistrusting your senses has been part of philosophical discourse for a very long time. In The Republic, Book VII Plato writes of one of Socrates’s discourses most commonly referred to as The Cave. This provides written verification that humankind has been questioning their senses and cognition since 360 BCE. If we fast-forward a couple of millennia or so, we can view this from the Cartesian prospective or bring it into modern times and into The Matrix.

Thesis:

The senses and our understanding of our perceptions cannot always be trusted.
Argument:

Durkheim was a French sociologist who sought to give sociology a better understanding of its subject of study. One of his most important works was The Suicide, which was written with the intention of showing how a sociological study should be conducted. In this case study he focused on “all cases of death resulting directly or indirectly from a positive or negative act of the victim himself, which he knows will produce this result” .
In his work, Durkheim compared the suicide rates between the Catholic and Protestants, but also made some divisions based on marital status, military status and economic conditions. He ...

The research was conducted due to the increased imbalance and immobility among the healthy older adults. It was ascertained that most of the adults did not engage in the physical and psychological activities that would have helped in the improvement of their health. The few who engaged in the activities were inconsistent hence the findings of the benefits would not have been determined as they were not effective (Kennedy et al. 2014). The older adults especially above the age of sixty five years were prone to be affected by several avoidable diseases. The dormant ones were highly susceptible as ...

Studying Effect of Age on Ability to Ignore Distractions

Introduction
With aging, people tend to perform poorly on cognitive tasks as they are unable to ignore non-relevant information. At the same time, young adults are observed to be adept at ignoring irrelevant information as they seem to be more focussed and have the ability to ignore distractions. Research studies published so far are throwing highly contrasting results. Mack & Rock (1998) in studies related to inattentional blindness (IB) formulated a working hypothesis that there is no perception without attention, as young adults failed to respond or to remember information presented in the centre of their visual field.

Linking facts and theories across disciplines can be adopted by the learning institutions as a way of backing the disciplines used in the learning institutions. Theories and facts are interdependent in that they rely on and support each other. The process could be used to encourage the learners to relate theories with facts for proof of their arguments. To what extent is music more reliable than other disciplines? Well while looking at music, mathematics, natural sciences and ethics, we will find out that music is not more consistent; nevertheless, all learning fields entail different knowledge. However, music tends to be ...

The terms ‘Organizational Learning’ and ‘Learning Organization’ sound so similar. Both involve learning. Learning organization is the process to change. Organizational learning is having the process and strategies and implementing change throughout an organization. Thus the former becomes the plan, to which the latter is the action.

Where as, an organisation that facilitates the learning of all its members and continuously transforms itself (Peddler, Boydell & Burgoyne, 1997) is a learning organisation. “Learning organization can develop structures and strategies to maximise the learning ...
