...What are the aims of academic study, and how can they be achieved? Michelle Anqi Lu 10116834 Nowadays people all go to university for a university degree, it seems to be a necessary step before we are into the society. However, in the university, there are always a lot of problems troubling us. Some of us even don’t know how to arrange our life, letting alone studies. So, everyone should gradually know the aim of the study and how to achieve it. First of all, we should know that we are now working for a better life and job in the future. Almost all the companies call for the undergraduate students. This is maybe the biggest reason we are in the university. Also, because of this reason, more and more people go to the university and this will make the competition tough. We all need to strength ourselves to ensure a better life. For me, the most value of going to university is that we can have more chances to approach the society. We will meet people from different cities or different countries. This will teach us how to get along with others. Distinguished from senior high school, we need to contact with people from companies or different part of the society. Throughout this, we will gain much experience that we didn’t have before. Also, for some of us, we are now realizing the dream of our parents. We have already become a hope for them. They all want us to have a bright future and a happy life. In the last 18 years, they did much for us, it’s time for us to response...

...darkness could kill, but too much light could blind” by Cassandra Clare is significant in understanding the concept revolving around this poem. The speaker seems to have trusted her husband too much that when he cheated on her, it came as a sudden shock. Sylvia Plath’s “The Rival” was designed to portray the poem’s aim, to explain that one shouldn’t trust too much since it can end up shattering one’s life. Too much of anything will only harm us. The most prominent way in which this aim was seen through is narration/structure, literal/figurative meaning and one point of allusion. Narration and structure were both effective in recognizing the poem’s aim. Utilizing the poem’s audience as the poet’s husband’s mistress, as well as using a semicolon stresses the poem’s aim. In stanza 3, the poet discusses the rival’ actions. She claims that the rival’s thoughts are sent with love, yet are also considered poisonous. “White and blank expansive as carbon monoxide” The poet demonstrates that the poem’s audience is the poet’s husband’s mistress through of the use of a simile. White is a carries a connotation of cold and lifeless, while, blank is a motif of death and also without life. Thus, the speaker compares the poem’s audience, her husband’s mistress, to carbon monoxide. Not only comparing her, but comparing the effect of carbon monoxide to the effect of her rival. It is important that the poet exhibits simile because the comparison of the rival to carbon monoxide is in their actions. The...

...Chapter 1 Purpose Driven life “The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov It is in one’s best interest to discover the purpose for his existence. He who made man, never made him to be a creature void of purpose. Whatever was, had a function, whatever is has a function and whatever will be will have function. When one ventures into creation of any machinery, the venture is such that the machine must achieve certain ends. So them that make automobiles have transportation of humans and goods; they that make houses have shelter as the end, and the list continues likewise. This is the same even for trades; there exists a purpose for each trade that exists. They that teach have imparting of knowledge and skills as the end; they that practice law seek justice as the end, and those that practice medicine, good health as the end; and the list continues in like manner. In the universe, the cycle of life shows dependency on one another, hence, each species of life serve the other in death or in life alike. With this back ground, it becomes impossible that man can be without a purpose. He is definitely created to accomplish a certain good. As an individual, there exists a purpose for which he was created. In like manner, there exists a corporate end for which man must aim. This to a greater extent must be searched for by those who aspire for the greater calling of politics. It is...

...IDEALISM IN EDUCATION 01. INTRODUCTION Idealism is the oldest theory of philosophy. Its origin goes back to ancient India in the East and to Plato in the West. Generally, Idealists believe that ideas are the true reality. According to them, the human spirit is the most important element in life. Matter is not real. It attaches great significance to the study of man and his mind. It maintains that the material and physical universe is subordinate to a higher type of reality, a spiritual universe. CHIEF EXPONENTS OF IDEALISM (I) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) (viii) The Videc Rishis of India Plato – (427-347 B.C) Kant (1724- 1804 A.D) Hegal (1770-1831 A.D) Froebel (1772 – 1852 A.D) Swami Dyananda (1825 – 1883 A.D) R.N. Tagore (1861-1941 A.D) Aurobindo Ghosh (1872 – 1950 A.D) 02. MEANING OF IDEALISM The word „Idealism‟ signifies two terms: „Idea‟ and „ideal‟. In other words Idealism is born out of Plato‟s “Theory of Ideas”. According to this doctrine, the ultimate supremacy is of ideas. In this way, the real word is „ideaism‟, but adding the letter „I‟ for pronunciation facility it is known as idealism. 03. DEFINITION OF IDEALISM (i) (ii) Views of D.M. Dutta: “Idealism holds that ultimate reality is spiritual”. Views of J.S. Ross: “Mind or spirit is the essential world stuff that the true reality is of a mental character”. (iii) Harold B. Titus: “Idealism asserts that reality consists of ideas, thoughts, minds, or selves rather than material objects and force”. (iv) R.N. Tagore:...

...The moral stance of the Society of HumanKind on social difference in human society rests on the Principles of Unity and Peace. Those Principles, and other implications of the Axioms and Dogma, are applied to this aspect of our social lives in the Treatise on the Individual. The Treatise dismisses the possibility that social difference is natural to the human condition or inherent in our species. The conclusion must be that such differences as do exist in our societies, whether based on standing, status, power or on any other criterion, are a consequence of our own actions, or of our inability to control all those factors in our environment that have an influence on our social life. The uncertainty of all human knowledge and understanding, set out in the Treatise on Knowledge, reinforces that conclusion. The limit on our ability to understand ourselves, or grasp all that affects us in our environment described in that Treatise is such that it leaves open the possibility that we may never be able to determine fully, or control effectively, the structure and outcome of our relationships with each other. In effect, the Treatise suggests that we may not have the faculties or abilities required to eliminate difference between individuals within our societies. In sum, the first founding book of the Society, the 'Foundations', rejects difference between individuals as an inherent or natural condition of human society while accepting that it may nevertheless be unavoidable. However,...

In my life Ruby has been my inspiration and motivation. Living in the same house everyone seems to be happy and satisfied except her. Somehow she was never satisfied to be in the home as she always wanted to change her surroundings. Once my sister, she had an argument with my dad over studies. My dad was against, that women go to college get higher education as my sister she wants to be a doctor and my dad was against that thing. The argument turned into anger and my dad took my sister from the home, without cash, without everything. At that time we all were feeling so sorry and sad for her, but she was smiling and telling my dad thank you to letting her go out and making her own way. Every time she did something new. She always used to say, In your life if you aim something high and bigger you will achieve that thing for sure at any cost. She lived four years by her own and made her own name. Now she is a successful doctor, Business lady back in her home country in Pakistan. She fulfilled her saying,” If you aim high you will get high return in your life. All you need is just to do hard work and focus on your aims and dreams and you will surely get whatever you want in your life.” Like her now, I want to be a doctor, like her, I want to be successful in my life. She did so much hard work to prove herself. Hardworking...

...I am going to be describing two main policies which influence the health care service. Policies: “Reducing drugs misuse and dependence” and “Giving all children a healthy start in life” Reducing drugs misuse and dependence This policy was enforced because a statistic was made; that between 2011 and 2012, an estimated 8.9% of adults used an illegal drug. And 19.3% of young people aged between 16 and 24 also used an illegal drug. Drug misuse has a negative effect on the health, wellbeing and quality of life of too many people. It also drains public resources. Crimes related to drugs cost the UK £13.3 billion every year. The aim of this policy is to reduce the number of people using illegal drugs and other harmful drugs and increase the number of people who successfully recover from drug abuse. Also, to restrict the supply of drugs and identify and prosecute those involved in the drug trade. This policy do a range of different things to prevent young people from becoming drug misusers, such as: • supporting children in the first years of their life so that they reduce the risk of them misusing drugs later in life • providing accurate information on drugs and alcohol through drug education and the FRANK service • making it easier for headteachers to take action against pupils who are found dealing drugs in school • giving £2 billion to local councils, between 2014 and 2015, which they can use to create programmes to help prevent young people misusing drugs in the first...

...that all our activities are initiated by our instincts. Naturalism stresses the need to return to nature from artificiality. It is also concerned with natural self and believes that reality and nature are identical and beyond nature there is no reality .With the help of physical and chemical laws, naturalism explains the universe, the physical world, life and mind. This nature is governed by its own laws and man is regarded as the child of nature. It considers matter as superior to spirit and gives importance to scientific methods of observation and verification. MEANING OF NATURALISM The term naturalism, by its ordinary meaning, means ism laying emphasis nature in every field of education. Naturalism is a system which follows exclusion of whatever is spiritual, or indeed whatever is transcendental of experience from our philosophy of nature and man. Naturalism is a doctrine that separates nature from god, subordinates sprit to matter and setup unchangeable laws as supreme. According to naturalism, ‘material world is the real world”. Naturalism is concerned with ‘natural self’ or ‘real self’. According to naturalists, human life is a part of nature; it is a self-sufficient entity having its own natural matter, natural forces and natural laws. It emphasis on ‘matter and physical world’.

...the young man as happy, but rather the old man whose life has been fortunate.” This quotation is from Epicurus. Epicurus tried to find the key of happiness as did Aristotle. Although they have different theories of happiness, they both agreed on the idea that all human actions aim to reach complete happiness. Happiness is something that can be defined differently by each individual. Every person would have a different idea on how we reach happiness. For Aristotle, complete happiness comes through fulfilling human function well and this can be provided by practicing virtuous acts. On the other hand, Epicurus supports the idea that presence of pleasure and lack of pain can conduct us to complete happiness. I shall argue that Epicurus and Aristotle have different ideas but they both aim towards a final good, which is happiness. As two different ethical theories, they both have weakness’ and strengths that this paper aims to show. Aristotle defines happiness as “something you seek for its own sake, whereas you seek all other goods ultimately for the sake of happiness” (Aristotle’s Ethics: The Theory of Happiness). This shows us that happiness is a final good that every individual aims to reach. Aristotle supports the idea that everybody must fulfill their function well enough to reach complete happiness and a fulfilled life is found in those who practice virtuous acts (Boyce). To understand exactly what Aristotle’s philosophy aims to show, we must first understand how he defines virtue...
