...MODERN EDUCATION SYSTEM VS. ANCIENT GREECE EDUCATION SYSTEM Greece was known for its ancient cultures, Greek gods & goddesses, mythology, religious beliefs, classical and historical architectures, and significantly their primitive style of education. Without a doubt, the ancient Greeks influenced our world today because of their wide knowledge in different fields of study like Mathematics, Literature and Astronomy. The Ancient Athenians was considered as the brightest intellectual people because they introduced us some major accomplishments. These accomplishments consist of the introduction of Democracy, Sports, Architecture, Drama, and Philosophy. Through their wide contribution of learning, Education played an important role in our modern society today. Although Education was considered as one of the most important achievement that we can attain, our modern Education system was different from the early ancient times in Greece in many ways. In Ancient Athens, only the boys were allowed to attend school and at least received an elementary education. Pottery shards called ostraka, bearing the names of individuals to be exiled from the city, attest to basic literacy among Athenian citizens. They were taught gymnastics and physical fitness in wrestling school called palaistra for their preparation for war. Music was also a part of their education which consisted of lyric poetry and lyre playing. Music was included in both poetry and dance, with a strong emphasis on...

Montoya Grand Canyon University: NRS-430V Professional Dynamics January 14, 2012 Montoya Page 1 Introduction Nursing is a profession that is ever changing. Early historian nurses are accountable for many of the changes and progression that we see today. We as well are equally responsible for this progression of the nursing profession. One example of the progression in nursing was the start of the Associate degree of nursing program. The nurses who finish this program are known as ADN’s. Since the ADN program was initiated there have been many debates on the differences between ADN’s and Bachelor degree nurses (BSN’s). Where does this topic stand today? What does the future hold for the ADN’s? History of the ADN Nursing shortage has been a challenge in nursing through out time. In 1951 Mildred Montag developed a two year associate degree program for nurses. The purpose of this program was to help with the nursing shortage. Studies were done five years after of the start of this program and showed it to be successful because these nurses demonstrated clinical competency. Today the ADN program still exists. ADN’s are expected to take and pass the same state licensure exam as BSN’s. When passed, the same license is issued to the ADN as the BSN. Both can apply and be considered for entry level nursing positions. This has led to much confusion...

...Democracy have always gone hand in hand for the entire history of the United States since it's founding, and many say one cannot exist without the other. Many people today commonly associate Capitalism with Democracy when asked about the United States in general. But this statement is inherently flawed; capitalism is based on profits for the few while democracy is based on rights for many. Cities have been in existence for several thousand years, as much as seven thousand by some accounts (Henslin, 2006). They usually are built near transportation routes or areas rich in natural resources. They can only exist as long as there is the means for producing surplus food and other necessary supplies. Cities grow at different rates and for different reasons and there are different types of cities, or urban centers. Metropolis, megalopolis, and megacity are terms used to classify cities by size. An understanding of the beginning of common schooling in the United States requires attention to such social changes as urbanization, early industrialization, and patterns of immigration, all in the northeastern United States. Ideologically, the common school era was rooted in classical liberalism, which had practical consequences in urban New England different from those in rural Jeffersonian Virginia. These variations were due to differences in regional political economy as well as shifts in religious thought. While Jefferson had encountered difficulty gaining consensus for a state-funded but locally...

...who are subject to this. 2 One piece of evidence that supports the view that childhood is socially constructed is that the meaning of childhood varies over time; for example, in Europe in the Middle Ages children were expected to work from about the age of seven rather than child labour being seen as wrong, as it is today. A second piece of evidence is the variation in childhood between different societies today, for example adulthood may be achieved at a significantly younger age than 18 as in Britain today. 3 Note: this is not an exam-style question. Ariès meant that childhood, as we understand the term today, did not exist then. After infancy, young people were treated as little adults — they dressed in adult clothes, worked and played alongside adults and were held responsible for their actions. There was no separate social sphere of childhood as we know it today. 4 One way in which the lives of children in pre-industrial society were different from those of children in the UK today is that children were expected to work from a very early age, for example helping on a family farm or being an apprentice. A second way is that there was little school education, which meant that children mixed socially with people of different ages rather than spending a lot of time with children of the same age. A third way is that entertainment and leisure activities were shared by all age groups rather than there being entertainment aimed at children specifically. 5 One social policy...

...Society today Crime is greatly affecting our tiny communities, it seems as though crime is everywhere. From something as simple as stealing a cellular device, to the more evident violent gang crimes, In the Bahamas crime plagues many of our streets today. In this research, as a group we sought out to seek reasons for the rapid increase of crime over the 40 years since the Bahamas gained its independence in 1973 and reasons that contributed to the increase in criminal activity. We looked at a society once back when, where our community was once not heavily impregnated with influx of criminal activity and violent crimes, and compared it to our society today. Was there a difference? And if so Why or what contributed to that difference? In any society today, research indicates that many criminals come from underprivileged environments. It is indicated that many violent criminals are the products of broken homes, and are transcended into society with little or no education. In The Bahamas at the time of majority rule and through the stages of gaining independence, major characteristics of the Bahamian community were ensuring that their children were highly educated so that they can obtain a government high paying job and go on to support their families, this was at that time “The Bahamian Dream”. In her article The Bahamian Dream Arinthia Komolafe states that “the government of the day placed significant importance on educating the masses. They understood that education was the...

...ZOOM Response: In the School Promoters: Education and Social Class in Mid-Nineteenth Century Upper Canada Reading historical reconstructions is of use to future teachers as it gives future teachers the ability to recognize the elements of the past that are still present today. This allows future teachers to identify these elements and either make students aware of them and use them as a teachable moment or resist these elements and their use. For instance, the idea of teaching the sexes differently (“sexes should be schooled separately” (Prentice, 40)) was very prevalent in the 19th century. From my experience when I was in high school there is still a bias in how females are taught over males. Females were separated from males for topics...

Being able to be taught new exercises and sports is a perfect way to live a healthy life style for all ages. You are never too young to get out and doing something that will help you later in life. Since 1970 the obesity rate has increased dramatically in America.

I believe that not only physical education but, also being physical is important for your health and also for your brain. Applying these beneficial activity to our daily lives will keep us healthy and impact out world in a big way. According to the USA Today News seventy-eight million in our country were obese in the year two thousand ten and two thousand thirteen.

...ADN to BSN – What a Difference When considering our nursing profession, we must look at the differences that a Baccalaureate Degree program offers compared to an Associate Degree program. Both nurses are caregivers, patient advocates and have an interest to promote health. The Associate Degree nurse holds the minimum entry level of education required for a Registered Nurse license. Associate Degree programs focus on applied sciences and clinical experiences. A Baccalaureate Degree program focuses on a broader range of theory, community and leadership. Advanced knowledge allows the nurse to better assess, utilize critical thinking skills and provide a more holistic care which leads to improved patient outcomes. Nursing has evolved greatly over time and to fully appreciate the differences of the degrees, we must look at the history of nursing and what brought about the different education levels. It all began with Florence Nightingale, the founder of the profession of nursing. Florence Nightingale recognized the need for an organized and formal education in nursing. She developed the nurse apprenticeship and the basis of what we learn today. She made nursing a respectable profession. In the early 1900’s most nurses received training in hospital based programs. After WWII, many women left the workforce to marry and start families. This left the country with a critical shortage of nurses. Congress enacted the Hill-Burton Act (Coleman, 2005) which funded construction...

However when the social of Vietnamese opened the door, people have more open minded with foreigners because Vietnam in the past had war so that people did not used to talk to foreign but in peace of today, Vietnamese always open and well come foreign people. That why we can see many peoples in many countries in some big city of Viet Nam like Ho Chi Minh city, Da Nang city and Ha Noi city.

...Education in the late 1970’s Andrea R. Ferrari Professor Josephine Sarvis Dominican University April 19, 2016 Abstract This paper highlights key features of the development of education at Dominican University comparing 1970’s to today, focusing on how Dominican has been through changes such as name and diversity as well as the overall education during the latest 1970’s. This analysis is based off of an interview and has comparisons to today’s schooling system based off of historical events. Keywords: Education Education in the late 1970’s For my oral history interview I chose to interview my soon to be father in-law about his experience in the late 70’s. The reason I decided to interview him was because he had attended Dominican University back when it was Rosary College and I figured it would be great to see how different the school is now vs back then. During my interview I got to know a lot more about the person I was interviewing as well as their experience in school and the overall experience to education in the 70s’. Throughout this interview I’ve come to notice a couple of things that really stood out to me and one of those would the diversity of students in the 70’s was lacking, although segregation ended it was like there was still and unwritten form of one. Another thing that caught my attention was the advanced in technology from the 70’s to today, it may not seem like much but when compared to how that applies and effects the education systems it’s...

...Educational Preparation This paper will outline the differences in competencies between Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), and Bachelor in Science of Nursing (BSN) prepared nurses. Then identify a patient care situation describing how nursing care or approaches to decision making may differ based upon the educational preparation of the nurse. The Free online Dictionary (2013) depicts competency as “The quality of being competent or capable of performing an allotted function.” Here is a comparison of two different pathways to becoming a Registered Nurse: Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), and Bachelor in Science of Nursing (BSN) programs. Born out of the nursing shortage in 1952, the Associate Degree nurse came in to fruition thanks to Mildred Montag. The Associate Degree program for Registered Nurses is two-three years length. This program does hold academic credit based on clinical and general studies preparing these students to be able to function as “technical” bedside nurses. At the end of the ADN program students are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN (Creasia & Reid, 2011). The Bachelors of Science program is four years in length and actually regarded by the American Nurse association as the original entry level requirement to becoming a Registered Nurse (Smith, 2009). This program originated in 1909. The BSN program is based on evidence based practice, Community nursing, and prepares these nurses for leadership roles whereas the ADN programs do not function to prepare nurses...

...Deming’s Point Thirteen: Institute a Vigorous Program of Education and Self-Improvement Andrew Davis MGMT 4655 March 31, 2016 Explanation of Deming’s Point Thirteen Over the course of his successful life, W. Edwards Deming became an internationally renowned consultant and statistician in the business world. He provided several contributions to management, but his most well known contribution is his work in the Japanese industry (vii). The quality and productivity of creating goods and services in Japan was revolutionized during this time (vii). Through his work experience, he created new principles of management that would have a lasting effect on academics and provide guidance for managers running a business or industry. After his experience in the Japanese industry, Deming wrote a book titled, “Out of the Crisis”, to transform the American style of management by transformation. He believed that transformation must take place with directed effort (ix). Deming thought that management in the western industries was failing to plan for the future and to foresee problems (ix). This failure brought upon the waste of manpower, of materials, and of machine time in organizations (ix). All of the waste raises the manufacturer’s cost and price the purchaser must pay (ix). The ending result is loss of market, which leads to unemployment. He believed that it was not socially acceptable to dump employees into the unemployment heap due to poor management (ix). From his observations...

...• Since the early 1990’s, girls have begun to outperform boys at most levels of the educationsystem. According to Pirie in Item A, the modular courses and continuous assessment found ineducation today has been seen to favour the systematic approach of girls, compared to the oldO level exam which typically favoured boys. These changes within the education system are seenas the main result of gender differences in education, nevertheless, external factors such asthe impact of feminism and changes in the job market may also have influenced the increase ingirl’s attainment.Firstly, it may be argued that the way pupils are assessed has favoured girls and disadvantagedboys. Gorard found that the gender gap in achievement was stable from 1975 up until 1988 whenit increased rapidly. This was when GCSE and with it coursework was introduced. Mitsos andBrowne support the view that GCSE’s favoured girls as they were more successful in courseworkdue to the fact that girls are seen to be more careful with their work, more likely to spendlonger on their work and meet deadlines. However, Ellwood argues that although coursework hashad some influence, exams themselves have a greater influence in the final grade. Thereforethis does not create a significant gap between gender differences.Secondly, the way in which teachers interact with pupils differs. Sociologist Jane and PeterFrench argue that classroom interaction between teachers and boys was not that different tothat of girls in terms of academic...
