...|Assignment #2 | |Educational Issues and Social Change I: Historical Social Perspectives | Assignment #2 Question #1 Compare the “hidden curriculum” identified by S. Contenta with the underlying norms and values of “Indian education” highlighted in the video the Mission school syndrome and in the readings by Titley, Levaque, Gresko and Wilson. (750-1000 word) Although education was meant for all children, education for Aboriginal children clearly had a hidden curriculum. It has been mentioned in all of the readings and the movie that the main objective was to civilize them into the White culture which included the teaching of the English Language (reading, writing and speaking), religion, agriculture and other trade skills necessary to live in a “White’s man world”, where “the primary motive was to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”[1] However, the interpretation of the events of those days differs in perspective between the religious groups and the Native people. As Europeans immigrated to Canada and settled on the lands where Aboriginals hunted and lived, themselves hunting the same animals as the Natives (for sport rather than survival) and restricting the territory forcing Aboriginals onto reserves or residential schools. The Whites did not understand this way of life even thinking...

...gather as much information as possible concerning every aspect of Clara’s life. Only through a detailed interview with her and the parents could we begin to narrow possibilities of treatment. I would ask Clara to describe her day and home time. Is she happy at school or sad? What is it that happens just before her tantrums start? Did you like preschool at first? Did something change at school to make you not like to go there? How does she feel just before she misbehaves? Are you lonely? I would ask her parents when she started acting this way. How do you get her to stop? How has her sleeping patterns changed? What has changed as far as her eating before these problem arouse? How long before you noticed a change in her behavior? Did something change in her daily routine? Have they noticed any other changes in her? How does she act most of the time? Do her moods swing from high to low? Does she still enjoy the same things she did before? Is there a change in her energy level? Is there a change in mood if she doesn’t get her way? At what age was she adopted? Has there been a change in her house hold recently? What do you know about her birth parents back ground and mental health? Tools that might be helpful would be an intelligence test. I would have a meeting with her teacher to find out how she is doing in school. Clinical observation should always be used first, because it is the most used assessment tool. Before designing an effective intervention...

...feel as though the Military Educational system does need to be changed to meet the new realities but still include the current education within it. Not only does it need to change to current standards but continuously change with newer technology. Some reason to support my opinion is because there is a technological explosion, military personals are changing, there is and will continue to have fiscal constrains, and technologies in the environment is changing. Now and in the future technology has and will change a great deal. With these changes in equipment, the military personals will need to be educated on the use of them. Also with satellite information is coming in with such high rate, people will need to be trained on how to quickly determine and locate any critical information when dealing with a life-or- death situation. Not only is the technology changing but also the people. People now are growing up with all kinds of technology and a higher education, which means that the numbers of military members are dropping. Since, the amount of individuals available for certain jobs will go down, all persons that do join will need to have a greater range of education to cover more fields. Due to the fact that member rates will drop, it will most probably lead to some sort of fiscal constraint. If finance for the military drops, they will have to cut down on certain equipment, infrastructures, and travel of the personal. With this change, the ones that will still be...

...The thesis statement that I have come up with for my “big idea” topic is: I believe we can better our economy by changing the way the government assists the citizens financially with programs such as food stamps, otherwise known as EBT. The government shapes society and the government needs to help society help themselves by making a few changes to the way it disburses our tax money. I think this thesis is going to be effective because it shows my main focus of the essay I will be writing, which is to change the way government assists families of low income. I want to stress the option of giving more money as school grants rather than giving it for food. Another option would also be limiting the options of foods that are okay to purchase with EBT. Right now, there are no limitation other than alcohol or pre-prepared foods. You can even purchase energy drinks at the moment. If people weren’t given everything for doing nothing, they may be more likely to further their education and get a better job to provide such luxuries as fatty foods or sweets and energy drinks. I see a major problem supporting this thesis with fallacy, mainly because I have such strong personal opinions. I am going to have to force myself to rely on straight facts and pure research to get my point across. For my research, I am going to stray away from any sort of blogs or websites put up as a riot against the government. I will do my best to find websites that are “.org” or .gov”. I think a good...

...the audience at the same time.’ The play “Teecher’s” is about three school pupils putting on a play about what their old school (Whitewall) used to be like, throughout the play we are following the three characters Gail (played by Nicole Black), Salty (played by Jacob Addely) and Hobby (played by Donna Preston) who also played all of the teachers and the rest of the students, the effect of multi role makes the audience concentrate more on the play, because it makes the audience think more about what’s going on in each scene as there is a lot to take in with each different character . This is effective because it makes the audience think about what is going on and figure out which characters the actors are playing by use of gestures and change in voice. John Godber wrote this play to show how the education system works today and how some people receive a better education system if they are richer but also some people receive a bad education if they can’t afford to go to the richer school, he wrote the play to show that every pupil has potential to be great, but some don’t get the opportunity because of their financial situation and it’s not fair to the disadvantaged students. The play was a play within a play, this means that the actors were putting on a play about students putting on a play, this worked well because it meant that the audience were more interested in what was happening on stage because it was complicated to understand which made it more interesting. It was...

...what keeps the internet functioning today. The commands have remained mostly the same because even though the internet has emerged the commands have remained the same. UNIX was developed over the past 25 years. The commands are still the same partly because UNIX has a reputation for scalability and stability. This helps to keep up with the times of today’s operating system. I don't believe there was or is a need for change of commands. The same commands are still accessible as they were over 25 years ago. If we take it a step further looking at today’s atmosphere schools for example don’t receive the same funding as they have in the past. Meaning n educational environment their budgets are limited. With UNIX commands remaining the same there is no need for schools to spend resources they don’t have. I also think that the commands have remained the same because computers were not as advanced before as they are now. Computers now can handle UNIX and others alike along with possible upgrades. Unlike many others UNIX can adapt to technology changes without changing itself. However, the internet hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. Throughout the life span of UNIX new protocols were developed and new applications implemented. Some protocols that are still accessible are SCP, SSH, and TFTP. As these may have changed or been developed the only thing really changing throughout UNIX was its security. Security updates can be added, modified, and deleted without...

Having them has made me happier, brought out some of the good characteristic that I lost and hadn’t gotten back yet since being sober. Overall having this impact has made...

...Tupac Tupac wanted to be more than just a rapper in the eyes of the crowd that so proudly gathered to hear him out. He wanted to be a voice in the midst of suffering, to inspire those who came from the streets where poverty reeks. Tupac was a prosperous actor, a man of tranquility, a man so beautiful he’d make you want to come through the screen and listen to him by any means as he shares with you his every dream. His eyes glowing with every word of sincerity, as he talks about unity between every community. He made you want to love him like your twin. He dared you to find the lies, to prove he’s crazy from within. Tupac wrote a poem named “The rose that grew from the concrete” “Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature’s law is wrong it Learned to walk without having feet Funny it seems, but by keeping it’s dreams, It learned to breathe fresh air Long live that rose that grew from concrete When no one else ever cared” Tupac represents the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete. He wrote this poem about life and being raised in a place where no one expected you to succeed in life. Tupac promted freedom, but he believed that Freedom wouldn’t come without a sacrifice, a sacrifice to be willing to risk everything for the greater purpose. One person willing to get beat, so others could eat, one person willing to die, so others could get by. Tupac thought of himself be like the man Job, in the book of the bible...

...depression since emotional exhaustion is a symptom. Burnout has also been considered a problem of motivation because individuals suffering from this condition exhibit low engagement in their job. This essay will look at some of the major components of stress and burnout, as it relates to career management. I researched two articles found in the business source database, and my goal is to discuss some of the industry expert’s thoughts, opinions, as well as ways to cope and handle these emotional defeats of one’s career. This article explains the process up until when an employee reaches the phase of burnout. The authors examined the pattern of burnout change over time depending on career transition type. The authors challenged existing burnout theory by articulating how the 3-burnout dimensions should differ in their pattern of change over time as a result of their career transition types for organizational newcomers, internal job changers, and organizational insiders. Many of the causes of burnout are stressors...

This phenomenon (change) has continued to be constant in this ever changing world. Considering the physical characteristics of human being, as well as the environment, change has remained obvious. In similar manner, businesses also go through changing processes; these changes may occur massively or at a minimal state. In many cases, changes in the management of a firm enable a company to keep up with the evolving competition. Hence, this process is healthy and normal for any organization to undergo, a business can certainly be complete after experiencing change. Note: Change in business refer to the accomplishment of responsibilities with a new approach or format, making use of new directions, getting...

...The Ways Nestle Managed Its Environment Over Time Nestle used different ways to manage its environment. It did this through expansion of the product offering, expansion of the customer base, and by developing lower-cost ways to make and sell products. Early on, Nestle managed its environment by expanding into new markets, in both developing and emerging nations. As trade barriers fell, the CEO of Nestle Barbeck-Latmathe seized the opportunity and decided it’s the right time for Nestle to expand geographically into the developed and emerging markets such as those in Eastern Europe, India and Asia. By doing this, Barbeck drove Nestle’s performance dramatically, taking into consideration the massive number of potential customers in these regions and the enlargement in Nestle’s customer’s base. In the 1990’s; Nestle managed its environment by acquiring other companies. The companies which Neslte acquired at that time included U.S. food companies Carnation, Buitoni Pasta, Ralston Purina, Dreyer’s ice cream and Chef America, the British chocolate maker Rowntree, the French bottled water company Perrier, and the Mexican food maker Ortega. It is noticeable that Neslte regards acquisitions and efforts at diversification as logical ways to supplement their business. Nestle only acquires food making companies, the business it has special knowledge and expertise in. After all, Barbeck’s intentions were to customize these products to suit the tastes of customers in different countries...

...A Raisin in the Sun Act III-A Lesson Learned In the final scene in “A raisin in the Sun,” some very important and much needed lessons are learned. Life changing decisions are made and for the better. In the last scene, Walter calls Lindner over to agree to take payment in lieu of moving into the all white neighborhood. Walter, as usual, can only think of money, and in his mind believes the large payoff from Lindner will be well worth selling out his family’s pride and honor. Lena decides, as Walter’s mother, to force his son Travis to stay to witness this life changing moral decision, in hopes that Walter will come to his senses; to everyone’s surprise he does. Walter looks into his son’s eyes and can’t sell his family short with his son watching. He decides to do what is best for the family’s morale rather than do what will put money in his pocket. That one decision shows the enormous lesson learned by Walter and how he changed. Character: The characters are well illustrated for us by the way they speak, their actions, and reactions to things. It is clear that Lena (Mama) has very little education and comes from a different time than the others. Ruth and Walter, the next generation, are slightly better spoken but still lack the educated speech that Beneatha and Travis, even younger, display with their current educations. Mama (Lena) is described as a big, strong woman, which is shown by how she reacts to the other characters, steering them the way she wants and mothering...

...is based on constant teaching and learning and the required power of empathy, which bring an increase level of sensitivity to signals changing. The main idea here is to identify change and its associated opportunities in order to become the competitive one and the only one. I am very much agreeing with change and how one can change the rules and not compete head-on. We have to take a look at case by case models of change and understand the quantifiable rate of production. Let’s take for example: the smart car or electric car. If we all agree, it makes sense for the environment to accept a smaller “smart car”, and we achieve 100% adoption as consumers, what happens to the tracking industry and the delivery of our consumptive goods? Are we now willing to transport goods because we have to transport them into smaller containers with less power? Can you imagine a smart car next to a diesel 18 wheeler? Are we willing to sacrifice the safety of our families for the cost of the maintenance of the environment? People are fundamentally selfish and will not voluntarily create a sea change unless they are forced to do so or unless there is no choice. Companies can identify the need to change with the associated opportunities to become the only competition but without government intervention to drive the change at a local global effort, the results are depressing. Blue Ocean is a fantastic way to look at familiar environments in a new way to find competitive edge. Unfortunately, companies...

...after intervention completion january 2013. Intermediate 18 months after intervention completion july 2014 Long term 3 years after intervention completion january 2016.) The intervention will incorporate each of Kotter's (2007: 99) eight steps to leading change. The first step is to establish a sense of urgency. We will examine the market and discuss with the client the reality of their competition in order to get them to reprioritize. There are many major opportunities and potential crises that HDMC needs to be aware of but without motivation and commitment of the organizational managers the effort will go nowhere. The next step is to form a powerful guiding coalation team. Our cunsulting team will find the right number of people with good energy, level of trust, and strong authority to lead the change effort. This group will be trained to understand and not underestimate the difficulties of producing change and to also work together as a team. The following step is to create a clear vision and express it simply. This step will need to be acomplished by creating a vision that motivates people in the right direction. The vision needs to be easy to communicte and also inspire not only the people participating in the actual changes but also the stakeholders. Communicating the vision is our next step. This is where the team pulls together and communicates what needs to be done simply and honest. The fifth step is to empower others to act on the vision. HDMC...

...Running head: SCOTT MORTGAGE Scott Mortgage James Jones Organizational Behavior 14 June 2010 Abstract This paper discusses the nature of change in a mortgage lending firm. It takes a look at the reaction to change from the employee and organizational view points. The characteristics of Ethical Intensity are reviewed as pertaining to the decision making process. It identifies the Decision Making Model and Approach to Change that Scout Mortgage used in revamping its human capital structure. Nature of Change The 21th Century has ushered in several factors that have been the catalyst for a dynamically transforming environment. Scout Mortgage, a loan mortgage broker since 1999 (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2009) has experienced the bullish and the bearish economic environment. In a work environment, the typical factors of change are driven by technological advancements which enable global-market-reach or globalization. With the increase of information technology and global communications, the world is communitively smaller. Any situation that affects a local market can be transformed into a national or international issue. The domestic housing sector economic downturn along with other Wall Street unethical and irresponsible actions have not only lead to a national but international recession and market collapse. In the case of Scout Mortgage, the technological advances have changed the way the company’s Loan Officers conducts business. Technology has automated a lot of task...
