Kymlicka explains liberalism as a theory that describes the relationship between individuals, groups, and the society. Will gives the liberal views, the importance and value of the culture in the community. Disintegration of Yugoslavia led to violent ethnic conflicts in the world. Since that time, there has been the need to enhance stability and cohesion in the multiethnic states. “The main challenge to this has been meeting the demands of national minorities, and finding the means of accommodating mass immigration”. Kymlicka brings up an argument that favors the survival of the minority groups according to the liberal theories. However, Kymlicka’ ...

in the Debate Between Moral Relativism and Moral Absolutism
The issue of moral relativism versus moral absolutism is an important one in the history of moral philosophy. Benedicts argues that normality is “culturally defined” and argues that what we think of as right and wrong, good and evil, and moral and immoral varies from culture to culture” (qtd. in Rosenstand, p. 146). This view of moral relativism is that the standards of moral right and wrong are based on the moral code of each culture. On the other hand, Christina Hoff Sommers observes an opposite view that moral ...

Varieties of studies about social relationships mainly focus on the cultures or the peer group but do not look into the effects of the interaction between the women and their cultures.

Future of Higher Education in the U.S.

Implications

Defining education as primarily vocational training and avoiding important factors such as intercultural learning would mean that students in America would not learn to adapt to the changing world. As our world becomes more diverse, it becomes important that students are taught about other cultures and the way others behave through the education system. This would prepare them for global citizenship that seems likely in coming years as our world open up to other cultures and different way of thinking that come with it (King). Therefore, it would be a problem if ...

It appears that we, as a global society, are in the midst of a serious dilemma. While it would be foolish to under-utilize the power of our most recent communicational technologies, it has become apparent that there are legitimate and dangerous side effects associated with our current involvement with, and application of, cyber technologies. In this project, I will be studying the relationship between recent advances in communicational technologies and architecture, in order to analyze the current benefits and setbacks of both cyberspace, which has been created by various technological media, and the actual physical spaces which we live in, so ...

CHAPTER FOUR
CONCLUSION
This chapter has illustrated the results of the research. Using quantitative research methods, the researcher established the depth of use of mobile devices among literate and illiterate users. Results obtained from the study highlight a number of concepts. Mobile device users majorly fall in the 16-55 age groups. Though most of the users know how to read and write, those without any academic qualification equals those with degree/certificate qualifications. Most holders of mobile devices did not report any difficulty in using them while those without the gadgets cite lack of knowledge to using them as ...

Pitrik, 2013). On the other hand, in socio-cognitive teaching, teachers offer scenarios whereby the students enter into the kinds of social discourse situations and societies that they (students) would encounter outside the traditional classroom. For example, students connect to various contexts for social interaction through the internet. In these contexts, they (students) meet and interact with native English speakers (Strambi & Bouvet, 2003), which allow them (students) to learn the English culture, and therefore, learning the language becomes easier. Therefore, socio-cognitive teaching explains the role of social interaction in the creation of an environment to learn a language, learn about the ...

Most organizations look for better ways of increasing the effectiveness and productivity of employees. Staff training forms one of the methods implemented by organizations to manage diversity in workplace. According to Aguinis & Kraiger (2009), employee training on cultural diversity is of great benefit to an organization because it increases the relationship between employees in an organization. Training would act as one of the most pervasive methods for communicating organizational goals across different cultures working in the company. In addition, the human resource management should understand the potential impact and costs associated with employee training programs in order to come ...

Introduction

Trichomonas gallinae causes avian trichomoniasis infection, which is often a lethal disease. The parasite is considered to primarily affect columbiform birds like pigeons and doves, but can affect other wild and domestic birds as well (Stabler, 1954). Diagnosis of the infection can be reliably done by collecting and studying material from the bird’s mouth and crop.

I carefully collected oropharyngeal swabs from the oral cavities of hunter-killed Woodpigeons in eight areas of Norfolk and one area of Suffolk counties in the three months’ time period between April and June. Using sterile cotton swabs, I collected crop swabs from the ...

Abstract

Trichomonas gallinae, a flagellated protozoan, adversely affects the avian livestock, particularly the columbids. It causes an infection called necrotic ingluvitis and the disease can range from asymptomatic to lethal. The parasite affects the anterior gastrointestinal tract of the bird, forms granulomatous lesions, and blocks the oesophagus, making the bird starve, thus leading to death. The virulence of the strain varies with some strains causing up to 75% mortality. In UK, the infection was first recognized as an emerging infectious disease of British finches in summer of 2005. The sick dead birds exhibited signs of malaise such as lethargy and fluffed-up ...

Would the character Fahmy in Palace Walk agree with the ideas of Khayr al-Din?- In the story, we are shown Fahmy to be a character that is educated especially in matters that relate to law. Education is a theme that comes out clearly as one of the factors that will affect the adoption of foreign culture. He is a well educated lawyer. He goes against the ideals of the British who are living in the neighborhood. Al-Din is someone who values traditions although he still gets the reformations from the West. Fahmy still keeps his traditional values but accepts the reformations from ...

Students should go for internships, whether paid or unpaid, for many reasons. It is a great opportunity for the students to gain experience and to be given a sense of responsibility. It is also a good opportunity to visit other countries, get acquainted with new cultures, live their way of life, learn a new language and also a fantastic way to meet new people. The issue of payment should not come into the equation here since the experience gained by an intern is invaluable and serves to improve both life and work prospects.
The conception of internship is based on medieval times when ...

Defining race as a political sociological theory

Race remains one the controversial topics that raise a heated debate among scholars and members of the public. For many years, the debate has revolved on whether the term race is effectively used in promoting diversity, cohesiveness and regional integration or not. Some people hold the view that the term race has been misused by political leaders in dividing people along ethnic and tribal lines. Another section of people believe that leaders have used the race to promote peace, diversity and regional integration. Based on these assertions, most people prefer not discussing issues related to race in the public because ...

Abstract

In “The Death of the Author,” structuralist thinker Roland Barthes suggested the notion of the author as a distinct identity in the creation and interpretation of a text was a thing of the past. Instead, he preferred the use of the word “scriptor” to refer to the person writing or typing a work for the first time. The ideas in the scriptor's mind would have to travel through his or her semiotic filters to make it to the paper – those filters take the ideas and shape them – for ...

1. Introduction
Government agencies are in most cases mandated with essential service-delivery and thus are often non-profit in nature. Hence, they are riddled with a culture of inefficiencies and underperformance. This paper will evaluate organizational culture, particularly in government agencies, thus the term organization will strictly be used to refer to government agencies (the civil service and the public sector in general).
In this ever dynamic business environment, management strategies are formulated every once in a while. The broad purpose of the so-called strategies is to enhance performance at the organizational level. For this to be possible the work ...

At the end of this course, one gets all the necessary tools that enable him/her to teach English efficiently to non-English speakers and at the same time, one learns how to apply different educating techniques that are based ...

Free will is the ability of agents to make choices free from certain kinds of constraints. According to the historical views, the constraint of dominant concern is the metaphysical constraint of determinism. The opposing positions within various debates are metaphysical libertarianism, the claim that determinism is not true and thus free will exists and hard determinism, the claim that determinism is true and thus that free will does not be there. These positions, which agree that causal determination is the relevant factor in the question of free will, are classed as incompatibility. Those who do not believe that determinism ...
