...Higher Learning The argument about higher learning has been a long standing controversy. Some people in America question if the core curriculum taught in college prepares college students for the real world. They wonder if the main courses such as English or Science really help students develop the communicating and critical thinking skills needed to get a good job in today’s society. Another argument is the belief that only certain people should go to college, while others believe that everybody should go to college. Two prime examples of these opinions are the opinions of Sanford Ungar and Charles Murray. Ungar believes that everyone should go to college and receive some form of liberal arts degree, while Charles Murray believes that only students in to 90 percentile should go to college. Both men agree that a liberal arts degree is a great thing, but their opinions on when it should be taught and who it should be taught too are very different. While Murray’s points are somewhat accurate I believe that Ungar’s ideas are more persuasive because he recommends that everybody gets a liberal arts degree helping increase the amount of people with the critical thinking and communication skills businesses are looking for. Sanford Ungar wrote the essay 7 Major Misperceptions About the Liberal Arts. In this essay Ungar describes the benefits of getting a liberal arts degree. In misperception 2, Ungar states how even though people believe the notion of “who wants to hire someone...

...Sudents vs. Thorton School District Do school uniforms violate a student's right to freedom of expression? Seniors at Thorton County School District recently challenged the schools uniform only dress code by coming to school out of uniform. Those students were expelled from school and were not allowed to graduate with their class for this act. These students were exercising their right to express themselves. Under the First Amendment, as long as you do anything that is not affecting or infringing on someone else's right, one should be able to do that. (www.firstamendmentcenter.org) Under the schools uniform dress policy students are prohibited from wearing hats or other head apparel as well. It can be said this may interfere with religious beliefs. Thus violating the first amendment to the constitution to “make no law respecting an established religion, or prohibiting the free exercise therof”… If a student is Jewish and wishes to wear his or her yarmulkes to school, should they be expelled for expressing their religion? The students at Thorton were not given a hearing prior to the expulsion, and many parents believe their children have the right to a hearing. The Constitution of the United States says we as Americans shall not deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of the law. Were the protesting student not deprived of the right to graduate with their class without a hearing for their actions? Thus violating the 14th amendment? Today many schools...

...Mentoring and enabling learning in the practice setting A reflective account of my experience of facilitating learning, assessing and teaching a student or co-worker, and how this experience will inform my future development within the mentor or practice teacher role. Student Number: 2930211 Word Count: 3150 Part 1: Introducing the Mentorship role I am a band five registered paediatric nurse based on an orthopaedic and spinal surgical ward in a tertiary paediatric hospital. I am currently engaging in completing my training to become a qualified mentor. This reflective account details my experiences assessing, teaching and facilitating the learning of a student during their practice based learning, and how this experience may affect my future practice. Throughout the account, in order to protect the identities of people, trust and clinical setting involved confidentiality will be maintained via the use of pseudonyms or omission of names (Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), 2008a). The function of practice based learning is to provide experience, serving an important role in developing the skills of the student in interacting with patients and their families assisting in technical, psychomotor, interpersonal and communication skills (Ali and Panther, 2008). Practice based learning provides an opportunity to link theory and practice, and promotes professional identity development (Fishel and Johnson, 1981). Practice based learning is also crucial in the profession of nursing...

...Abstract Predictions derived from Eysenck's theory of personality were tested in two samples by relating extraversion scores to library study locations, frequency of study breaks, and self-report of factors which influence study location. The predicted main effects for study location were found, with extraverts occupying locations that provided greater external stimulation. Positive correlations were consistently found between extraversion and preferred level of noise, preferred level of socializing opportunities, and rated importance of socializing opportunities. The prediction that extraverts would take more frequent studybreaks was supported in Sample 1 but not replicated in Sample 2. The data are interpreted as providing direct support for Eysenck's theory of behavioral differences and mixed indirect support for his theory of neurological differences between introverts and extraverts. Cognitive Theories The cognitive school is probably best defined by exclusion: if it ain't biological, behaviourist or humanist, it's cognitive (I'm including information-processing models here). It all starts with Gestalt theories [Wertheimer, Köhler and Koffka, and with only the vaguest connection with Gestalt therapy (Perls)]: originally theories of perception, interested in the way the brain imposes pattern on the perceived world, Gestalt moved into problem-solving learning. It is also much influenced by the developmental psychology of Piaget (but also read Donaldson (1984) if...

...High school students should not begin their school later and end their school day later. Stuents have sports and work to attend. Also stuff at home to do. Stdents need time for themselvese. Making the day longer will do no good at all. Sudents have after school sports that they enjoy to do. If school were to end later then the students would have to go to their sport later and then the would get home even later then what they already do. Okay, say their was a football game and the game was a hour and a half away, the students would get out from school even later so that means they go to their game later and by the time they get home they would not have time to do anything because they would need to go to sleep. Once a student gets home...

...Why would a college want to consider my previous academic achievements before granting me admission to their college? For: 1. A 'sudent' in general is identified with his grades, and since the reason for him going to college is majoring in the subject of his choice (ideal situation), it is only essential to have some level of filtering based on past academic achievements. 2. Yes, academics are not a measure of the student's complete personality, but when all the records throughout his schooling, are combined together and then reek of brilliance, granting him/her admission is inevitable. 3. When colleges hold any form of screening processes for admissions, it is very much possible that some students who have been perorming well consistently, just don't find the right temperament that particular day. The concept of one test to decide a student's leading years is not only not justified but also very incomplete. For example, if a student is trying to get into college A, and is supposed to prepare for ATest, ATest being the screening test for college A. This means that basically whatever he/she has accomplished on the academic front before that particular test holds no value. All the hard work put into various projects, into learning innumerable concepts has gone to waste. 4. The futility of the afore-mentioned single test is what asks for the previous academic achievements to be brought into the purview of the people taking care of the admission process. Against...

...the traditional values of amiability and rituals in Chinese society. Once Confucius stated that he is not an innovator of Confucianism and also that he just rediscovered all that knowledge is coming from the past. He said that society rejected this knowledge and it was his task to bring it back to its right condition. The teachings of Confucius are based on two areas. Social and Political teachings. Social teachings meant having a proper behavior in the society and how to be polite towards fellow men. Political teachings dealt with the specialty of goverment and right relationship of the Ruler to his people. He was using both teachings to make a wise scholar with a proper knowledge about society and goverment. In the book «Analects» his sudents were asking him questions about love to the fellow man and about the govermnet. He told them that there are three main requirements of the government adequate of food, adequate of military equipment and certainty of the people in their ruler. He said the most important of them is the certanity of the ruler because if people will not have the faith in their rulers there will be no food and no equipment. His students Confucius told that people should have sympathy towards each other and that they should stop treating others in a way that they would not wish to be treated. (“What you do...

...Differences in Nursing Degrees Kimberly Walker Grand Canyon University NRS 430 Professional Dynamics September 30, 2012 Differences in Nursing Degrees In today’s ever changing healthcare arena, the need for more educated nurses is becoming more and more essential. The higher and often more complex health needs of today’s patient population requires nurses to have a wider more advanced knowledge as well as skill set. Nursing is more than just providing bedside care. More often than not, we as nurses are called upon to step into the role of social worker, spiritual counselors, therapist and many other titles that our patients may require of us. Nursing is taking into consideration the person as a whole and that usually means also taking care of whatever social, mental, emotional, and environmental concerns our patients may present with, in addition to their acute illness. In order for a nurse to be adequately prepared to step into all of these “roles” we need well educated nurses. When deciding to get a nursing degree, you have a choice between an associate’s degree and a baccalaureate degree. Immediately out of nursing school there may not be a whole lot of measurable difference in the two degrees. Both degree programs will adequately prepare you to be a bedside nurse. The difference between the two degrees however becomes very evident as your nursing experience grows. This paper discusses the differences between associate prepared nurses and baccalaureate prepared...

...Courtney Tavares Professor Johnson English 1111-18 20 October 14 The Hawaiian Language What happens when a language dies? Is it possible to create a community of new speakers without altering the language in any way? Language evolution is a natural process among native speakers. A wide variety of languages are slowly becoming extinct as their speakers begin to die out or assimilate to other cultures. Of the 6,000 spoken today, it is said that approximately 50% of those will have become forgotten by the year of 2100. The history of each and every one is a part of each speaker’s culture, values, and traditions. As the voice of the people is lost, so is their identity. The loss of languages has harmed cultural diversity around the world. It is crucial to prevent this loss by protecting the endangered languages around the world. Though it is one of the smallest regions of the United States, Hawaii is famous for it’s resort environment and exotic beauty. Dreams of vacation on bright beaches and clear water fill young people’s heads. From the towering volcanoes to the mirroring cities, the very image of Hawaii is paradise. One of the strongest components of this culture is the language, Hawaiian, or “Olelo Hawai’i”. Hawaiian language has an ancient history rooted in Polynesian languages. The number of native Hawaiian speakers has begun dwindling; it has been slowly displaced by English language. Hawaiian is a Polynesian member of the Austronesian language family. Austronesian...
