Philosophy is the seeing/viewing or understanding of life with its different aspects in an individual’s way or sometimes there could be a group of people viewing things the same way or rather they agree with each other’s ideas. Philosophy of Education then is the way an individual values education, especially formal education. Msango et al in (Tembo 2000: 33) define Philosophy of Education as: A critical and systematic intellectual endeavour to see education as a whole and as an integral part of men’s culture .... any philosophy dealing with or applied to the process of public or private education and used as a basis for the general determination, interpretation and evaluation of educational problems having to do with objectives, practices and outcomes, child and social needs; materials of study and all other aspects of the field. “Philosophy of Religious Education deals with any problems and issues in the Philosophy of Education that affects Religious Education as a curriculum subject” (Simuchimba 2008: 2).

Throughout the play we see several similarities between the Bale and the author of the book, Soyinka. Lakunle, the schoolmaster is very intrigued with the whole idea of civilization and modernity. He forces his way of civilization on Sidi, the jewel of Ilujinle, the girl he wishes to marry, however Sidi being very sassy and loyal to her culture doesn’t wish to be modern or understanding to anything modern e.g. when Lakunle kisses her she quickly push him away and says she find the thing he does with his mouth disgusting. She often insults and calls him mad; whenever she does this he quickly disrespects her. Example of this is seen in Morning when he refers to her as a Bush girl with a small mind.

...branches of geography are found within human geography, a major branch of geography that studies people and their interaction with the earth and with their organization of space on the earth's surface. Economic Geography Economic geographers examine the distribution of production and distribution of goods, the distribution of wealth, and the spatial structure of economic conditions. Population Geography Population geography is often equated with demography but population geography is more than just patters of birth, death, and marriage. Population geographers are concerned with the distribution, migration, and growth of population in geographic areas. Geography of Religions This branch of geography studies the geographic distribution of religious groups, their cultures, and built environments. Medical Geography Medical geographers study the geographic distribution of disease (including epidemics and pandemics), illness, death and health care.

To grow dreadlocks, Rastas just wash it and leave it. The locks take time to grow and one cannot just change his or her hairstyle without showing all of his or her hair.

...Andrade 1 Carla Andrade Mr. Jones p.2 November 23, 2013 Pro Prayer In School Over the years, many Americans have discussed the issue about prayer in school. It has been heavily debated since the 1960s, when the Supreme Court decided that prayer in school was unconstitutional and was removed from all public schools. Many people believe that the elimination of prayer in school is beneficial to the students. They say that because religion is private and schools are public it is better that the two should not mix. “To introduce religion in our public schools, builds walls between children who may not have been aware of religious differences before.” (state/church) This, however, its contradicted by many factors that have been seen over the years. Prayers have the power of creating a spiritual atmosphere that helps students drive into values such as humility and discipline. Which is why many people believe that prayers should be allowed in school to develop the maturity of the students. “Banning prayers in school could mean depriving the school children of their freedom of religion.” (prons and cons of prayer in school) According to the First Amendment of the Constitution, all American people have freedom of Andrade 2 religion, press, and expression. Therefore, every children who attends school should have the right to pray at school. Those who are in favor of prayers in school, believe that prayer is an essential part of the school routine. For them, it seems quite...

...“In many parts of the world today religious education is facing dramatic challenges.” (catholicireland.net, 2012). We live in a world where society is greatly affected by the ways and customs of different religions and cultures. The questioning of the relationship between religion and education in Ireland has been a sizeable debate recently. The increase in immigration etc. has resulted in new and diverse religions and cultures being introduced into Irish society. Naturally this means that change is imminent. When people first heard that I would be studying to become a religious education teacher their reactions were mostly what I had expected. The look on their face said it all for most people. I could tell they were thinking that religious education was not a real subject. That is was merely a subject where you could catch up on homework or sit back, relax and watch a movie. Of course my natural instinct was to defend the subject as I knew why I wanted to and was going to study to become a religious educator. However as I found myself trying to explain, it was challenging to try and find the words to define what the subject is and what it entails. It was difficult to do this without sounding like a “holy joe” as the expression goes. It made me realise that I needed to sit down and think in detail the meaning of religious education and also what I think the future of religious education in Ireland looks like? Will religious education still be a subject in Ireland in years to...
