(A): Subcultures, Reference Groups, and Households

Discussion 1

Since few years, it has become the common practice that women do the majority of the household shopping. With the revival of the new era, male participants of the family have started to take the prime responsibility as being the dominant purchaser for the household and decision makers. In my perspective marketing to stay-at-home-dads will not negatively impact the buying behavior of their children. Dads who choose to stay at home and raise their children and permit their wives to be the wage earner will not impact future changes. Children always copy ...

You effectively contribute to my learning by showing me that one should never take things so seriously and that there is a need for some relaxation after any class session. You have taught me that learning should not always be associated with so much seriousness and strictness that we get lost in this world and forget about other aspects. In simple terms, you have helped me to find a balance between learning as well as having fun, socializing and cracking jokes.

Instructional model employed by educationist is instrumental in defining the ability of the learner to grasp a given concepts. In curriculum development, educationists often consider psychological factors and how they affect learning. Today, no one can deny that instructional design has changed incorporating the use of technology. A bid to understand the concept of instructional design technology would expose the learner to various definitions of the concept. In each of these definitions, critics tend to tend to marry the use of technology e.g. computer, projectors, and radio to aid the teachers instructions. The instructional design technology encompasses a complex process of ...

I had always found Math to be a bit of a problem, and I struggled all through my school life just to catch up. Geometry, Algebra, menstruation every part inflicted misery on me the day after day. The problem reached its peak during college when calculus posed yet another challenge in my life and no matter how much I tried; I never understood the notion of differentiation or integration. With a heavy workload and numerous courses during the semester hanging over my head, every night in my dorm room I struggled to grasp onto yet another concept. Day after day, my worries ...

Scenario 1: Teaching a newly diagnosed type II diabetic patient the importance of monitoring his/her blood glucose level.

This scenario will require applying connectivism theory of learning to help the patient effectively comprehend the importance of monitoring blood glucose level in the body. Connectivism theory is relevant in this scenario since it requires that the patient needs knowledge to assimilate the importance of monitoring his or her blood glucose level. The patient has to be active and learn as the process of learning is carried on. James states that, “Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning” (2013). The theory makes learning contextual as the patient has to connect the information he has concerning ...

The content I chose for my thesis is one of the Print Ads- by ‘Bailey’s Fine Jewelry’, and I believe this text is a unique example of print ads media form. The ad itself is a fine piece of imagination, depicting a human’s nature; especially those of women, when it comes to materialism. The tag-line of their advertisement is ‘Every Woman Wants a Bailey Box’. The statement itself holds the irony which is being depicted in the text. The text created, is presenting a story of its own which goes best with the tag-line, the company is using for the ...

Their meal consisted of boiled broccoli, mandarin slices, a quarter of a slice of white bread and cheesy rice with chicken. The teachers served the children all their food ...

Choosing the Topic

Instead of coming up with the appropriate topic as the teacher, I felt that it was best to select a topic by first understanding what the children’s interests were, and this would be through an assessment of their conversations, drawings, observations, questions and parental reports. Most of the children were interested in pets that they had at home, and a majority of the pets that interested them were dogs. Their conversations and drawings revolved around their pets. I realized that this would be a relevant topic for investigation because it would focus on the following vital aspects of children growth and ...

1. “Much Madness”

This short poem denotes the juxtaposing idea that madness can actually be perceived as a profound, truest kind of sanity, in the lines “Much madness is divinest sense,” because for one to be aware of the fact that one is insane, one has to be in full possession of his senses to grasp this notion. In other words, to be insane and know it is to hold a firm grasp on one’s reason. But still, Dickinson is referring to it as “sense” exactly because it is not defined by reason, but what the majority of people consider ...

In chapters four and five of Clive Thompson's "Smarter Than You Think" (2013), the author argues that the tools of the modern world such as the internet, computers, video games, among others are powerful, but only if people have adequate knowledge on how to use them appropriately. Clive brings this out by explaining the world through the complexity of the gaming culture present to portray collective wisdom among individuals and the ease of teaching by integrating video games into the curriculum. He begins by examining the history of gaming and how it evolved from just avoiding missing the ball ...

Blumenthal and Haspeslagh (1994) discusses how businesses steer change and starts by an acknowledgement of how confusing "transformation" as a concept is.

Importance of Teaching Pragmatics in a Foreign Language Classroom

Abstract Pragmatics requires a well-defined environment for the learner to grasp the basic concepts of communicative aspects of the target language. The complexity and sophistication most foreign languages are characterized with, a foreign language student would take as long as 10 years to attach quality communicative meaning like the natives; this can be reduced by enhancing the quality of pragmatics for second language learners. Like every learning situation, the environment has a big role to play in the learning process. As a matter of fact, language is tied to culture and socialism and shaped by psychology; therefore, the most appropriate place to ...

The development of English as a first or second language comprises four strategic domains. These include listening, reading, speaking and writing. An English language learner can either attend classes to learn the language from a teacher or tutor or may simply learn through association with frequent English as the way children learn language from their parents and peers. In the class contexts, learning of English required skills from the tutor as well as other learning materials like audio-visuals that are meant to reinforce written or spoken words from the teacher. The learning of English focuses on a few critical areas (Scrivener, 2005). ...

It is important to comprehend the reason why Hiroshima was a likely target. According to Hersey (107), “the ruined city had flourished and had been an inviting target mainly because it had been one of the most important military- command and communications centres in Japan, and would have become the Imperial headquarters had the islands been invaded and Tokyo been captured.” In other words, how had the dropping of the bomb changed the lives of the survivors? Was the decision by the United States government to hit Hiroshima with the atomic bomb necessary? Should the Japanese have been forewarned about ...

Abstract

Three types of examples from the genres of world literature are integral to the strength of investigating the works of different periods and cultures. Different eras represented sweeping views of war, the sacred, the secular, and expressions of stories that culminated in philosophical lessons or important pieces in historical sagas.

- Introduction It was Sigmund Freud who first suggested that human psychosexual development is heavily influenced by one’s relationship with one’s father or mother (Katz-Wise 2). However, in reality, the development of sexuality is quite different and significantly more complex. Gender identity has become different from sexual identity, and one’s sexual orientation is different still (Katz-Wise 2). Before detailing the prevailing arguments regarding sexual identity and all the issues that go along with it, it is first important to understand the nature of the discussion. Sexual identity, for the purposes of discussion here, will ...

The development of English literacy instructional programs has provided teachers the opportunity to inculcate ‘English Literacy Learners (ELLs)’ with appropriate strategic models. Literacy instructional models now embrace an appreciation for cultural diversity. In terms of linguistic variety brought to schools, the concept engages learners to excel in reading, writing, and generally to grasp an appreciation for language diversity in literacy. John McWhorter explains that “growing up in America” advances the notion that any English dialect veering away from the so-called ‘good’ English spoken on TV news programs represents “evidence of grungy mitts” leaving filthy prints on the sanitized “formica ...

Teaching has been regarded as one of the most respectable professions with a pronounced purpose, of passing the knowledge to those who seek. It plays a crucial role in their overall development. As Barack Obama puts it, “The single most important factor in determining [student] achievement is not the colour of their skin or where they come from. It’s not who their parents are or how much money they have. It’s who their teacher is.” A good teacher will need talent and abilities, both refined and cultured. Teaching can be a “creative art” no matter what’s the subject that ...

However, the understanding of these phrases is not innate. You may understand them, I may understand them but to someone who is unfamiliar ...

Children with disabilities can, therefore, be able to identify the words when presented with a collection of flash cards. It takes practice for the children to learn these words. Children need practice and master the words over a long period, which makes the process a tiresome one. Therefore, such children could greatly benefit with the help of technology in reading the flash ...

In this sense, bilingual education is important for children who are non-native speakers because they are given a chance to grasp content that would be impossible to ...

Greatest being

The fact that it is impossible to think of something greater than that which is thought to be the greatest places the existence of God as the most powerful and greatest being ever thought. Since nothing else greater than that which is thought to be the greatest thought of; then God (the greatest) exists in reality as well as in understanding. This aspect in Anselm's ideas is the most important because it proves the undeniable evidence of the existence of God (who fits the description of the greatest being ever thought of) to both atheists and believers of God. ...
