Abstract
The dominance of commercial technological innovation in the context of modern society has resulted in a form of technological dependence for some individuals, causing them to pay less regard to aspects of the physical world. Technological innovation has assumed a noteworthy role in the flow of our daily lives, such as through the methods we employ to maintain interpersonal connections. Numerous individuals are included in a matrix of connections facilitated by technological innovation and an increasingly digitalized culture; however, the vast amount of these affiliations can leave individuals the global community feeling subjectively void.

In order to maximize learning, the learning environment must provide learning resources in order to encourage problem solving and support teaching. Thus, it is important to understand the impact that computers have on learning in order to better apply them to learning. The findings from this research can help proper ...

Introduction

The bearing of the Saudi Arabian-Iranian disputes dates back to the 1970’s when religious extremism took center stage, and as such embroiled the relationship between the otherwise two powerful states constructed on rich religious backgrounds (Fürtig, 2002). The greater intolerance and religious extremism continue to jeopardize the prospects of having stronger international ties between the two states that had once shared cordial international relations, and who were once bound by common religious doctrines. The Iranian revolution of the 1979 is all to blame for the emergence of this war, whose effects had far reaching consequence to the ...

It does not only include the amount of reading time, but also the ability to trigger information from the text. According to Ouellette (2006), the end goal of reading is comprehension. Therefore, reading time does not provide a full picture of reading comprehension because one can quickly skim the text ...

History of tort law
Tort law originated a century ago when Oliver Wendell Junior examined the history of negligence in the legal system, which later resulted in the theory of tort. He concluded in his study that the duty to exercise care in England was faulty. He noted that most plaintiffs suffered overwhelmingly when another party or entity caused a significant level of damage to them. Similarly, Morton J. Horwitz reexamines the history of negligence and found out that many jurisdictions did not understand negligence as carelessness or fault (Kaczorowski). Since its discovery, many nations such as the USA, ...

Project Description

The current project aims to compare discussion forum models that are used for social activity to determine which can be used and are more preferred for learning management systems. Hashemyolia, Asmuni, Ayub & Daud (2015) have noted the increasing significance of web-based applications in learning management systems, especially in higher education. The emphasis on learning management systems is because it exploits autonomy and self-motivation in self-regulated learning. Learning management systems can be used for both course administration and pedagogical purposes (Pătruț, Pătruț & Cmeciu, 2013). This is possible because of the synchronous and asynchronous communication that is enabled by ...

INTRODUCTION

Everyone remembers stories beginning with “once upon a time” and ending in “happily ever after.” Some people see fairytales as antiquated ideologies that are not beneficial in the modern era. Others believe that they are harmless tales intended to spark children’s imagination. Fairytales can establish ideologies about good and evil and right and wrong. They are, also, filled with pointed gender role ideals and gender stereotypes that are, today, ethically questionable. In the last few decades, there has been a literary movement of taking classic fairytales and attempting to update them and eliminate many stereotypes. This leads to ...
