I believe that learning and creativity are closely intertwined. In our everyday life, every person probably experiences learning at one point or the other. Learning is integral to life. There are a myriad experiences and activities that are new to each and every person every day. As a child I learnt how to speak a ride bicycle with the help of my friends. It took a while but eventually I was able to balance myself on the two wheels: something I believed impossible. When I finally tested myself on a motorcycle in my teenage years, the only skill I ...

China and Canada are among those countries that have devised education systems that each of the two countries thinks best suit their citizens.

Consequently, it rushed its then newly designed Ford Pinto into the market with blatant disregard for the safety of its customers. The car became notorious for accidents occasioned by rare-end collisions at a speed of over 30 miles per hour. The fuel tank would rupture and burst into flames leading to casualties and in some cases fatalities among the passengers (Tenbrunsel & Bazerman, 2011). It took so long for the decision ...

Journalists do not exist in a vacuum; they are people with their own opinions and feelings about the things that they are reporting, and it follows ...

Max Weber in his social theory elaborated without clarity four main types of rationality. It was his position that rationality existed in four main variants; formal, substantive, practical and theoretical. According to Weber, rationality sufficed for purposes of rationalizing society into the modern form it has assumed. Rationalization, in the precepts laid by Weber, would occasion the shape and trajectory the society assumed and gave society its capitalistic character. Weber was cardinal on the consequences of rationality. He asserted that formal rationality was perhaps responsible in larger measures to the ethic bases that would lead to capitalism. However, an ...

Evaluate past, present, and future trends pertaining to the development and operation of institutional and community based corrections

There have been major trends in institutional corrections and community corrections in the past, present and future. One of the trends is growth in populations of the inmates which results from the several changes that have taken place in police practices and how they administer sentencing.

Another trend that has affected the correctional system is the change in penal philosophy, which today has an emphasis on protecting the society. Some rationales such as deterrence and incapacitation today are the ...

According to Staples (215), there has been a general decline in academic learning; this argument is supported by Carr (150) who bases this decline on the emergence of online knowledge sources such as Google.

After the military junta lost power in the late 1980’s, Argentina went through a burgeoning period where it expanded its economy in the middle of the 1990’s and attracted several investors who poured money into the country at highly favourable interest rates which were clearly unsustainable in the long run. This eventually led to a collapse of the banking system and there eventually was a huge run on the banks which resulted in several thousands of investors losing their money and ending up with nothing. Politically the country was also affected as the instability created by the financial crisis ...

What do a Victorian poet laureate and an American poetess from the heart of conservative Massachusetts have in common? They both have written poems that obsess about death. In the case of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, it was the death of his best friend, Arthur Henry Hallam that triggered a giant poetic eulogy that took nearly two decades to write. In the case of Emily Dickinson's, on the other hand, it was one of her many poetic works that brings out her rather morbid attraction towards death. Though the works of these two writers may seem different at first sight, they are ...
