In this essay I will argue that differences between how Confucius and Lao-Tzu view the political essence of a state are much more numerous and substantial than common features they share. 1. The primary way in which Taoism relates to politics and society is the bunch of views this philosophical theory has towards disparity in the society. As harmony in the Universe established by the nature is the central idea of Taoism the latter criticizes excessive richness of rulers, growing influence and coherence of the apparatus of bureaucracy and the too far-reaching influence of authorities in the everyday life ...

Introduction

The research topic is virtual reality on serious games in 2D. Virtual reality also referred to as virtual environment, refers to a computing technology that produces an artificial environment, which emulates the real world (Bennett 2014, p. 263). Serious games simulate reality in teaching and training environments (Crookall 2010, p. 898). The games play a role in enhancing the understanding of vital concepts, and the developing of cognitive skills. They are important pedagogic mediums since they are in a better position to encapsulate the imagination of learners than traditional teaching methods can. ...

Teaching English as a second language had and still has a lot of various approaches that may be effective or useless in different environments. The articles of Matsuda, Elbow and Ramanathan and Atkinson focus on a more narrow issue concerning teaching of writing among ESL student. Paul Matsuda in his article Alternative Discourses speculates about the difficulties ESL writers have after entering new discourse. He points out that the student may be a good and skilled writer in his native language, but at the same time may have some problems with composing English texts that usually lack coherence and ...

In human interaction, communication is a complicated pack of unspoken and spoken behaviors that occurs at several human interaction levels. The author views the classroom as an essential principle of learning and teaching process for communication clarity in a classroom. He views the classroom as a social learning context since interaction is key to education and learning where the teacher and the students are the participants. He says that between the second language acquisition and classroom interaction, there is a strong bond. There are many turn-taking processes which include: the IRF pattern, pauses and silences, interactions and overlaps, mutual ...

The use of technology in the classroom is slowly becoming an integral part of the way teachers impart knowledge in the classroom. Of course, technology has a number of benefits and it lends itself to the belief that each teacher is taking the necessary strides to improve the educational values of the classroom to the young impressionable minds that they encounter. But, new technologies have brought with it a number of changes that have impacted the teaching and learning process in many ways. Technology in the classroom started decades ago and is not limited to the used of Internet ...

The main focus of this paper is positioned on discussing the two most significant educational issues for teachers in Australian schools today. The paper goes further to give justifications on why the stated issues are significant to these teachers and their impact on the teachers’ practice in general. The discussion revolves around four frameworks of education; cross-cultural teaching, pedagogy, curriculum and policy. The two major issues are limited experience by teachers in the teaching area of Indigenous Australian Studies and difficulties in adjusting to new technology in delivery of content to learners. A quantitative and qualitative research was carried ...

Interview Questions

Interview Questions Job interviews are usually prepared to determine whether the employer and employee will make an effective match. For Interview’s validity questions should be asked from experience so that the information to select the best candidate for the post is easily gotten. Moreover, when this criterion is used biased questions, for instance, concerning age, race are avoided. Applicants will be assured an equal opportunity to prove that they are competent and have the required skills for the job. It is during an interview that the candidate exhibits his or her communication skills in building rapport with the ...

Abstract

There are a plethora of challenges that pertains to the learning of the second learning. The process of foreign language acquisition that is often a second language is characterized by certain difficulties that narrow down to individual attributes. It is worthy to understand the various factors that make it easy for students or some people to learn a second language faster than their counterparts. It is important to note that despite similar learning conditions, there are possibilities that different people will take different periods of time to understand and learn a given language that is not their first language. ...

In a culture that in based on self-reliance, privatization, and a market-based mindset it is difficult for the current generation to view community engagement and public participation as a solution to today’s social challenges. The current leadership model, which is characterized by an authoritative leader and inactive followers, cannot be relied on to effectively solve global and local problems in the society. As the political leadership changes from individualism and privatization, the teaching and learning model in higher education should also move in the same direction. Currently, students are acquiring knowledge with the aim of being prepared for ...

“Ceremony,” Leslie Marmon Silko's novel, mainly seeks to explore the contradictions and the effects of two unique cultures mixing. In the novel, these contradictions are brought out by having a closer look at Tayo's life. Tayo not only bears the cultural contradictions in him but also a physical one as espoused in his green eyes. They symbolize the mix of white and the Native American origins in him. The two cultures have adverse effects on the lives of the Native Americans, both positive and adverse. Tayo, an admirer of his Native American culture, happens to be educated in a ...

Teaching is a rewarding process and for that and other reasons, nurses often perform as a faculty and advance teachers. “Successful transition into an academic setting requires faculty to develop expertise consistent with the college or university’s specific mission and philosophy” (Penn et al, 2008). The particular case study looks at a new nurse educator and his entrance into the teaching realm. From my personal knowledge base, I consider the nurse we are examining in this study as partially successful in his role as a teacher and faculty member. For one, he has a strong motivation to teach ...

Governments’ ability to identify, finance, and provide desirable medical services is under increasing pressure from aging populations, consumer expectations, and escalating health-related technological costs. In the US, health expenditure is nearly sixteen percent of the GDP with bureaucracy consuming about thirty-one percent of the expense (Gorman, 2008). In addition, up to forty-five million Americans lack adequate access to quality healthcare. However, the principle obstacle facing the healthcare system is the shortage of well-educated medical doctors who are adequately prepared to handle the various challenges encountered in the profession (Gorman, 2008). Thus, improvements in the education and certification of doctors ...

Jonathan Kozol in his article “Still Separate, Still Unequal: America’s Educational Apartheid”, published in 2005, discusses the issues in education that were and remain very acute. The author points out that the people who live in big cities build their impression on the system of education purely on the grounds of their own experience, and do not have any idea regarding what is happening in the other parts of the country. It is stated that in recent years the tendency was leaning in towards segregating the schools again. Unfortunately, the society chooses to ignore this situation using the ...

I have always been interested in working with other people and having the opportunity to communicate with others. Through communication people find out a lot of new information and share it with others as well. That’s why I have decided to become an educator in future. Teaching people is a constant process of teaching oneself too as every day we discover new things and new facts. But even more important is the following: being an educator we bring light into areas which need it, into special communities which have no access to studying and self-development in this particular ...

Pathophysiology and Aetiology

Acute renal failure or ARF means any abnormality with the function of kidneys. Kidney performs multiple functions thus ARF is also termed as acute renal injury (ARI). Now medicine and healthcare have advanced to a higher level integrated with different drug therapies and dialysis treatments though the mortality rate with such condition is still high; that is 50% of kidney patients and up to 85% of patients with other co-morbidities (Doenges, Moorhouse & Murr, 2014). The Pathophysiology of ARF includes a rapid fall in Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) ...

ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF A HEALTH CARE FACILITY

Hospitals are complex business structures in addition to complex medical organizations. The structure of the hospitals is very important to ensure that all departments are properly supervised and functioning. Hospitals are sorted by bed count and on average a medium size hospital contains an inpatient unit of approximately 200 beds . Regardless of bed size all hospitals need certain departments functioning to be able to provide services and meet the overriding regulations that are required. The following organizational chart serves most hospitals well. Of course, larger hospitals may find that the departments need to be separated further and other managers ...

Reflection on:

This article is interesting because it really looks at the ways in which an English Language Learner (ELL) classroom runs, and the ways in which the biases of the teacher are communicated to the students. It deals with all the research that has been done on the topic, exploring how those research studies related to one another, and how they look at the way that students learn. The article also thinks about the idea that some teachers in ELL classrooms might not want to be there, and might actually resent their students as being behind other students who are ...

THE MONOLITHIC TERM ‘STANDARD ENGLISH’ IS AN OUTDATED CONCEPT IN THE 21ST CENTURY. DISCUSS.

Introduction

Now, this is an expression for ‘by the way, I would be right back in five minutes.’ This is how English language is being used these days. The metamorphosis of English, predominantly driven by technology, has been well accepted by the pundits of classical English and the trusted Oxford dictionary has added several of these to its Standard English. Is there a dilution of standards or is it simply that English language is adapting to the changes of the 21st century and keeping pace, eventually ...

Introduction

Society has been distinguishing the concepts of good and evil since the ancient times. So, we can say that it had a specific morality - the system of moral relations, feelings, and consciousness. The morality is the central question of ethics, and still relevant to our society. Among the ethical systems I have learned, there are virtue ethics, utilitarianism, social contract, deontology with goals (Hinduism and Buddhism), deontology with divine authority (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), relativism (individual and cultural), and deontology with a categorical imperative (Kant). So, I would like to say a few words about each of them.

There are several issues relating to the topic different learning strategies that are considered to be effective in a mixed ability teaching setting such as the ability of every teacher to reach all of their students. It is always a challenge to reach all their students since each one of them have a different way of learning, progress in learning and variance in speeds. There are some students who consider learning task to be easy handle. On the other hand, there are other students who have a difficulty in understanding the lessons.

Introduction

In education, it is vital to create an appropriate curriculum development procedure whose objective is to attain a good intellectual property development in children. Concerning the above, I, therefore, seek to review the educational development for toddlers/preschoolers whose age bracket is two years to 5 years. The age is the second stage of childhood and preschools and prekindergarten, therefore, tends to be a crucial area for children's life and, later on, impact on the general life of the individual. Given these, I henceforth seek to develop a one-week educational curriculum that spans from Monday to Friday; the expected results ...

In the article by Randy L. Mitchell entitled “Emanation and Generation,” the author discusses the differences about caring about students and caring for students and what that looks like from the role as a teacher in an institution of higher learning. Sometimes students may be very happy because educators are hands-on in their approach to learning. However, being too hands-on as an educator can leave students without the tools to be independent when using the skills that they have been taught. It is not uncommon for students to leave their learning settings after being cared for makes it hard ...

Intelligence design and Darwinian Theory of evolution

Intelligent designs

Intelligence design is a scientific research program that constitutes professionals ranging from scientists, philosophers and the community of believers that are trying to seek the evidence-based design work. This design says that matters of existence and world origins are best explained by an intellectual undertaking and not a story that has no direction like the Darwinian Theory of natural selection (DeWolf et al., 2007).When one studies the components of a given measure, one can outline the issues of law, chances in life and conditions found in intelligence design. It is only through intelligence that scientists can ...

Introduction

The black population in Canada has experienced substantial growth over the past half century. As of 2006, the black community was approximately 2.5 % of the Canadian population with most of these being from HIV-endemic nations mainly in the Caribbean and Africa (Shimeles, Husbands, Tharao, Adrien, & Pierre-Pierre, 2011). The immigration of these communities in Canada has led to an increased HIV infection, with 57% of infected infants and 16 % of new infections being attributed to the African and Black community. The statistics on new infections as well as those on people living with HIV show that the black community in ...

In considering the potential contribution of linguistic anthropology to the ongoing reform of Native American education it is evident that there are various sources of information that demonstrate the need for major reform in specific categories of education.

In developing these pedagogical reforms there are particular categories of education that should be focused on. In consulting on a tribes in a generic sense, the differing types of educational reforms that can be recommended on the basis ...

The Mediation Privilege

In this article review, I will summarize the main points of “The Mediation Privilege,” give a key analysis of the author’s main points, and personally apply the article to my own life. In Marcia S. Cohen’s article, “The Mediation Privilege,” Cohen does a fantastic job at providing the reader a firm definition of the concept of the mediation privilege (Cohen, 2013). Specifically, Cohen defines privileged mediation as “the protection from disclosure of confidential communications in mediation (Cohen, 2013).” Cohen describes specific sections of the Uniform Mediation Act, including sections that allow ...

Introduction

The current debate over the teaching on Universal Salvation did not come from a new Christian teaching but from an argument on issues seen in the old one. Outside the ancient Christian Church, however, the first attention to this teaching perhaps came from Hosea Ballou, an American pastor who co-founded the first Universalist church in the United States and later on attributed as the father of the American Universalism. He wrote in 1892 a book, which chronicled the history of universalism up to A.D. 553. The debate heated up when an evangelical philosopher, Thomas Talbott, who wrote in 1995 ...

The Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment are best understood as conflicts between faith and reason. This statement is accurate because this time period began the separation of church and state and opened the floodgates for science to begin to become more important in society in the future. While it took some time for science and religion to completely separate, and it did not happen until much later, the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment were extremely important because they created the conflict in the first place. While this time did not completely separate reason and faith, it began to encourage people ...

Ethnocentrism

Question 1 Ethnocentrism is described as a situation whereby one lacks tolerance to other cultural groups. It is also associated with people not accepting cultural diversity. Ethnocentrism brings about negative behaviors, negative prejudice and negative stereotypes towards other ethnic practices. Although ethnocentrism has an advantage in that an individual can sacrifice for his or her ethnic group, the advantage has resulted in different opinions from various scholars. Some argue that it reduces one’s intellectual willingness to communicate, and this brings misunderstanding. There are several ways of overcoming ethnocentrism. The first one is the idea of accepting multiculturalism. This ...

It is appropriate to regard Leonard’s behavior as challenging. This conclusion is indicated by many behavioral characteristics from the evaluation of Ms. Alison and the special education consultant. There is evidence that Leonard’s behavior impedes his learning. Firstly, Leonard cannot concentrate during the presentations to benefit from the teacher’s lecture. Secondly, when he is prompted to do some problems, he does them hurriedly. The result is a messy and incomplete work. Ms. Alison also noted that mathematics and writing are Leonard’s least favorite periods (Chandler& Dahlquist, 2014). The behavior is also challenging because it interrupts ...

Developing productivity within a classroom is one of the main objectives of a teacher or a professor. The key component of action research is that it addresses specific situations and it is participative. It is simple; action research aims to establish a set of actions to resolve the important issues or problems within a classroom when teaching a second language. Action research addresses classroom problems specifically, it is true that it lacks generalizability but the results once the problems are recognized can be very beneficial. Action research requires analytical preparation and keen observation in order to understand the problem ...

When looking at the Buddhist view on human nature, it can be said that a concept which is very essential to the doctrines outlook on human nature and meditation is known as “Vedana”.

Over time, there has been increasing interest in culturally responsive teaching that grew since the late 1980’s and the early 1990s primarily because of the increasing diversity in the country’s classrooms. This is coupled with the concern over the low rate of success by the many racial and ethnic minority students despite numerous years of reforms in the education fields. The ongoing reform of the Native American education is further influenced by the fact that after years of population decline to the historic low of around 237,000 members in the year 1900 the American Indian populations ...

Abstract

It is important to teach children, and adults, how to accept individuals who have a disability. This eliminates the awkwardness when they encounter such individuals. Exposing children to individuals with different disabilities at a young age teaches them how to be responsible for their actions. Educators can assist with this process by adding a few techniques into their curriculum by tweaking their lessons without any extra work. As an educator becomes more familiar with the adaptations, it will become second nature. R.J. Palacio’s book, “Wonder” begins with a young teenage boy, August, ...

Abstract

Health education and promotion have been gaining momentum since the 1930s when its role in illness prevention in America became apparent although it had been in existence before civilization in the form of trial-and-error and the use of herbs (Cottrell et al., 2015). During the period of Renaissance, society believed that disease was caused by sin. The focus during the 1930s was to mitigate the effect and spread of contagious illnesses by teaching proper sanitation techniques and finding ways to improve the healthcare system. With the rise of modern medicine and very high sanitation standards in the 1950s, the ...

Since this proposal targets children of all grades (about ages 7 to 19 years old) in a school community, division of the school children were done by grade level. This is because some terms such as obesity and body mass index may be too deep for the younger population to understand. Also, we don’t want to have a large target audience in each teaching session in order to encourage more individual student interaction. Since children ages 7 to 19 years are the target audience, the presentation first showed a video clip animation. It first started showing a person ...

According to Richards and Farrell, a significant number of critical incidents that occur in the classroom are basically common events that are considered critical owing to the fact that they expose or reveal underlying values, beliefs of motives existing within a classroom environment (Richards and Thomas 119). In their discussion, Richards and Farrell assert that in order to provide an effective critical incident report, it is crucial that one begins by providing a reflection of actions that might have led to the critical event (Richards and Thomas 119).
