Summary

Distance education in higher learning institutions requires analysis from an equity perspective since the low-context online learning can lead to difficulties for high-context learners. The first section of the article reveals a framework for high- and low-context cultures which relies on cross-cultural communication. A lack of nonverbal communication characteristic of the low-context system can translate into cultural clashes in the educational environment. In the next section, the explorer states dimensions typical of high-context cultures and centers on regulating the group’s harmony via nonverbal means in collectivistic communication. A demand for openness ...

Abstract

The rate of gun possession in the U.S has increased progressively since 2011 as gun holders have continued to purchase various weapons. The universities and institutions of higher learning have not been left behind. Twenty-three State administrations in 2011 deliberated on bills to allow the carrying of weapons at their public establishments of higher education, and several public institutions in at least six nation-states at present allow firearms on university grounds or in the buildings. Although the rightful ownership of weapons on school grounds is a current and limited occurrence, verdicts by the Supreme Court and institutional representatives propose ...

Do groups set up tables or booths inviting students to apply for credit cards? Yes, some students on my campus ...

Firstly, the previously existing problem of the minority students, who were often denied opportunities to live in on-campus or off-campus housing and facilities, was resolved as a result of Title III of Act, since under it the attorney general can himself file suit about the denial of use of public facilities, and the lack of funds for effective legal representation has become not a problem anymore (Safransky, 2010). Secondly, the access of anyone, irrespective of race, color, or national origin to the participation in the higher educational program, financed from the federal funds, has been assured. What is more, ...

Introduction

Technological advancements have been sweeping across different facets of the economy like bush fire. The education sector has not been left behind in the adoption and application of technology to streamline their processes.

Knowing International Politics as Moving Images

According to Carver, the three life worlds that determine international relations include the knower, the state-actors and the ordinary people. In international relations, objects and materials of political nature which are already known to the knower (those with knowledge on the issues at hand) and the state actors (those involved actively in matters concerning state politics) are spread to the ordinary people who are the common people without much knowledge of such matters and who go by what the knowers and the state actors say. The kinds of sources are valued traditionally owing to their higher level of validity. ...

Currently, the area around campus has several restaurants that sell pizzas to students. However, some of these eat outs are not effective when it comes to serving health conscious products to customers, especially in the late night eats. In particular, Cici’s competitors in the market, which include Drunken Bento and Toppers, have failed to offer the best quality of products to students at the right prices. Furthermore, Cici Pizza has experienced considerable growth in the recent past. Hence, there is need to have a restaurant that offers a cheap option for the learners. In fact, with the current ...

There is no denying the fact that because of rapidly growth of humanity, a modern society provides a huge amount of different jobs. For instance, a person can be a teacher, an engineer, a manager, or choose a specific and complicated position. Despite the huge differences between these occupations, all of them are well-known and recognized by society. However, there are some hidden jobs that deserve some words here. A good illustration here is a mother’s work. It is often taken for granted; nevertheless, it also demands special knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) from women around the world. ...

Introduction

FERPA require the integrity and confidentiality of education records to be maintained at all costs. Thus, all information relating directly to college and university students must be safeguarded against access by unauthorized entities and individuals. However, FERPA gives an institution the legal right to access the records containing information of its students (United States, n.d). Therefore, administrators and faculty members with educations interests may access the confidential information relating to the students, but in some cases, the consent of students is sought before such access is legally permitted. Students are given legal rights to make corrections of their education ...

There are several strategies to improve environmental health. One of the strategies is green mobility. Green mobility involves minimizing the energy consumption when it comes to transportation.

The main demand was that education should be provided equally and the quality of education should reflect the needs of the culturally diverse student base within the campus. The strikes that were held ...

International Student Adjustment

Introduction International students experience a variety of adjustment concerns such as academic problems due to new educational systems, personal issues, cross-cultural problems, adjusting to new social norms. This project is specifically designed to integrate the international students. Interaction with host students and spending leisure time with American’s could be highly interrelated with international student’s perception of their relationship to American’s life.

Nevertheless, even if the choice to acquire this level is driven by financial or personal preference, it can have extreme outcomes on the line of ...

Cowboys in College

According to reports from the Congressional Research Service there are more than 300 million guns in America as of 2012, and gun production continues to increase (Krouse 8). Despite this, guns appear in less than one in three households in America, as reported by Smith and Son (3). This means that while fewer families may have guns in America, those individuals who own them, own more than they ever have (Smith & Son 4). In the state of Texas, gun ownership is a relatively close reflection of the country’s statistics at large (Levin n.p.). Despite the increase in production ...

It is not appropriate for teachers to carry weapons on the campus. Bullying does not lead to life threatening situations very often. However, in cases there is a threat of brutal violence or life endangerment on campus, security and special hotlines to secure the campus should be available in classes, corridors and wherever they can be easily accessed. Bullying is a grave problem but it does not justify teachers carrying weapons. In situations where there could be minor violence the presence of a weapons such as a gun could escalate the situation. Also, there is a possibility of an ...

Sexual assault is one of the most demeaning acts any individual can go through. According to Kaitlynn’s experience, sexual assault is psychologically damaging in several way. Sexual assault experience raises concern on our role as members of the society who are, in one way or another, affected by sexual assault. The lifestyle in campus where people interact greatly at personal levels that appear too intimate to count resulting violence as assault; complicates the scenario for the accused and raises the stake for all involved. Sexual assault psychologically damages the victim. To begin with, it breaks one’s spirit ...

For example, our choices have always tended to prove to be the ...

RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF ESSAY ON “Students and Money: In Their Own Words”

The first Rhetorical device I see in the Essay on "Students and Money: In Their Own Words." By Karpeck, Griffin is the device “PATHOS” which is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response. I consider the author is very much successful in this regard. In the first few lines itself he appeals to the emotion by saying that his friends smirk at him by looking at his need to do that menial job and he too has taken up the job reluctantly (i.e. he is forced ...

Young people, especially college going adults put their career ahead of marriage and settling down. This does not necessarily mean that they lose out ...

Q1

Law on Gun Possession on Campus

The Opponents’ Arguments Some students strongly believe that they are safer when they have guns than when relying on campus security personnel to protect them. They believe it is their inherent right as private citizens to possess guns as enshrined in the second amendment. According to this amendment, the state law classifies students as private citizens and as such can possess a gun for their own security. Furthermore, the state law is superior to postsecondary institutions that enjoy autonomy from the state in making rules and regulations that ensure student safety and health. Most campus regulations outlaw gun ...

The Circle by Dave Eggers starts with this line from its female protagonist Mae Holland. This is the reaction she was able to summon upon arriving at the compound of what was going to be her new office.

According to the article “To all girls I’ve rejected,” there are more female applicants than male every year, and this tip the balance off in terms of ...

Introduction:

Kansas State University is one of the strongest universities in the Mid-West. It has a beautiful campus filled with many green trees and breathtaking views. However, when it turns dark the campus’s unique features are changed into dangerously dark corners, and hard to navigate dim sidewalks. The reality is that the lighting infrastructure used on the campus has not been adequately updated to reflect the campus’s growth, the increase in on-campus activity after dark, or the changes in society that demand light in order to ensure safety. I, therefore, propose that the campus needs to double the ...

It is unclear on how the society deteriorated in successive decades since the 1970s crack cocaine epidemic. Street gangs took over droves of students into their establishments while promising acceptance. The programs that came to the aid of the criminal justice system were two pronged. The primary program is prevention. This program holds the potential to safeguard schoolchildren who are yet to succumb to the pressures and circumstances around ...
