...in the evolution of mass media in the last century were that when 1900 came around there were newspapers, magazines and the telephone was being used to move news events and happening around the country. When a new mass media comes it out it tries to displace or interrupt the current media. In the 1900-1910 part of mass media films were starting to be made. It affected the entertainment part of newspapers and magazines but did not take hardly any business from them but the films that were being made were advertised in them. Radios was the next big media that came about in the 1920’s was radian and it was a great media technology for advertisers and people listened to it. The sound recording made in the 190’s- 1990’s were a new media also. Then are the introduction of TV in the 1940’s to present, I think it will never end but its size has got smaller on width and flat and larger in length. Video recorders started coming about in the 1970’s to present and have become smaller since its advent and are not as cumbersome as they once were. The video games also came along side the 1970’s and are still popular today. Computers first appeared in the mainframe forms in the 40’s and 50’s in then started to decrease in size from the 80’s to present. In the 90’s they were sold as desktops and in the 2000’s to present they are laptops and iPads. The biggest change to affect everything was the internet which started in the 90’s to present and is threatening to change everything. Cell phones also...

...Racial Equality in a modern society Racial Equality Brian Dugas University of Phoenix In the decades previous to the nineteen fifties, African Americans were the subject of more discrimination than any other race or religion in all aspects of being treated both as a person, and a race. These people were up until almost the mid 1900’s as slaves, even though slavery was abolished long before, even in the mid 1900’s, African Americans were still considered “second class citizens”, not seen as equals in the eyes of others. It was during the 1950’s that African Americans, and other racial authorative groups collaborated to change their status in society. This challenge of fighting against discrimination and for racial equality among racial groups became one of the most important times in United States history; it was the beginning of what we know as the Civil Rights Movement. The fight for racial equality started long before the 1950’s, in the early 1900’s, the NAACP (the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People) was created by Booker T. Washington, and Webb Du Bios, Mr. Washington was actually an ex-slave. As the NAACP grew in numbers and support, the NAACP also published its own newspaper, showing progress, and enticing people to come forward to support for their rights. One of its first victories was the laws of segregation in housing, and also the right of African Americans to jury duty. The NAACP helped in establishing other groups...

...miners represent a vanished way of life. Why should we, in the modern world, care about understanding and preserving knowledge about this lifestyle? In the early 1900’s coal mining was the main resource that drove the economy throughout The Appalachian Mountains. Coal mining was a way of life for most everyone in this area. These coal miners were a close knit group of people that all contributed to this way of life. While coal mining is still a way a life, it had major declines between the 30s and 50s and was virtually diminished by 1970. Sadly this way of life is often times forgotten about but thanks to efforts from many, many people this heritage is being preserved. Undergraduate students at Radford University have recently worked with The Appalachian community and created The “New River Valley Coal Mining Heritage Project”. This project is a collection of elders’ memories from their coal mining pasts. The university also did a second project named the “Coal Mining Heritage Park Project” that has developed plans for a park that will commemorate the mining heritage. I strongly believe that we too should care and understand this lifestyle and help preserve the past. Thomas Monson once said “The past is behind, learn from it.” Which is something I really believe in. Although I may not know a lot about coal mining, other than what I have read in this article, I do know that we can always learn from people before us. Since coal mining was such a dominant part of these peoples...

...1. In what ways did the Gary Indiana school system illustrate how schools were transformed and how was that transformation publicly justified during the progressive era? Gary Indiana school system changed from a “traditional school” to a “progressive school.” Traditional schools taught reading, math, and writing to students, often only to males. Gary Indiana school system taught student social, political, physical, mental, and social training. During the time, school enrollment increased dramatically from 7% to 32%. Also, more and more families were beginning to live in the cities. The transformation from “traditional schools” to “progressive schools” was sold as a shift from rural life to urban life. After the 1920’s, the number of cities grew with a half a million people grew from two to twelve. During the Gary Indiana school system transformation, immigration was at an all-time high along with the increased amounts of factories and other industries. The “progressive school” systems allowed teachers to teach the specific skills required in different types of occupations. 2. Discuss the degree to which all population groups of students were or were not equally well served by the four progressive educational aims of social stability, employable skills, equal educational...

...introduce and allow my students to explore the arts from the past and the present. I want them to learn a variety of art making techniques and art history. I also want to prepare them for future by giving them exposure to possible career choices that utilizes the arts. Therefore I feel it is important that my art classes allow students to be exposed to both the fine arts and design fields of the 21st century. 21st century technology like 19th century industrialization has influenced art education methods. The use of technology in classes is increasing each year. We are using design software to create both designs and fine art assignments on computers. In the 19th century, industrialization was one of the most important reasons why art became a part of public school education. Government leaders and the industry wanted America to able to compete with the superior European imports. As a result they felt that requiring drawing as a subject in public schools would help the U.S. in competing with Europe and balance trade. Knowing how much they wanted America to produce better products, I was puzzled when the Massacusetts did not model its art education after the France, whom was considered the best in producing superior product designs. Instead the American art education system was modeled after the British and German education systems. So why did America choose the German influenced British art education system over the perceivably better French art education system? What changes in the...

I enjoyed the fact that it was a fictional story based on historical facts. The Mirabal sisters’ story is truly a unique one that piqued my group and I’s interest. I was oblivious to fact that the Dominican Republic had a dictator about the same time as World War II. Trujillo or El Jefe was a horrible man who brought terror into the country and tricked many people into believing he was a good leader. I learned about some of the horrible acts he did with his power. For example, he murdered every man in Minerva’s school friend, Sinita’s family. Not to mention he was partially...

...Understanding the context of Kevin Rudd’s Apology speech is especially important, as since then, education has been reformed to include Indigenous perspectives. Historically, Aboriginal students were excluded and marginalised from the education system; in some states they were even excluded from classrooms on a non-Indigenous parent’s request (Jorgensen, Sullivan and Grootenboer, 2014, p. 6). Therefore, teachers must have a knowledge of these events so that they can safeguard their students from this kind of racist behaviour continuing. As powerfully stated by Paul Behrendt (1996), “Australia didn’t start in 1770 and unless we learn about Australia as a whole, we have no foundation to build a nation on” (Craven as cited in Price, 2015, p. 160). Since this statement, the Australian Curriculum has gone under reform to include Indigenous education as a cross curriculum priority to learning. Through this, children are provided with opportunity to learn about Australia and the history and culture of the world’s longest living, strong, rich, resilient and diverse civilisation (ACARA, 2015). While this educational regulation is an important step to educating the country about it’s first inhabitants, it is believed that more should be done to incorporate Indigenous issues...

...of areas that there has become a lot of debates and discussions about education. Today there are so many topics of concern when it comes to education that we do not even know where to begin. The school board meets several times throughout the school year to meet and discuss all these concerns but it seems that the outcome of this meetings never fully resolve the problems. This is way there will be always an ongoing debate topics that circle our education system. One of the many topics that is has caused a debate discussion is whether or not education should be relevant to tomorrows job market. There are two types of groups that have different opinions in this subject matter. The Perennialist’s believe that all students should be thought things of everlasting importance. They believe that students should learn material that will develop them into well rounded adults that will be capable of fitting into the work field. Perennialist’s also believe that students should be thought scientific reasoning since the details of facts are constantly changing and some of this information would be useless. A student can develop skills that will be utilized in the working field. Most students today are not motivated to learn and even less motivated to obtain continued studies after high school graduation. These students will benefit from skills training and linking school and work motivates students. Some students have been pushed along through school because they just didn’t like...

GEIGER ELLIS, ED.D., ARTHEA J. S. REED, PH.D., UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, EMERITUS and UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, RETIRED A Teacher’s Guide to the Signet Classic Edition of Booker T. Washington’s Up from Slavery 2 INTRODUCTION Booker T. Washington’s commanding presence and oratory deeply moved his contemporaries. His writings continue to influence readers today. Although Washington claimed his autobiography was “a simple, straightforward story, with no attempt at embellishment,” readers for nearly a century have found it richly rewarding. Today, Up From Slavery appeals to a wide audience from early adolescence through adulthood. More important, however, is the inspiration his story of hard work and positive goals gives to all readers. His life is an example providing hope to all. The complexity and contradictions of his life make his autobiography intellectually intriguing for advanced readers. To some he was known as the Sage of Tuskegee or the Black Moses. One of his prominent biographers, Louis R. Harlan, called him the “Wizard of the Tuskegee Machine.” Others acknowledged him to be a complicated person and public figure. Students of American social and political history have come to see that Washington lived a double life. Publicly he appeased the white establishment by remaining...

...10/13/06 American History Essence Harden 5/2/00 African-American Civil Rights “Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation.” –Coretta Scott King, page666 The 1960’s were a time of great turmoil in America and throughout the world. One of the main topics that arouse was black civil rights. In my essay I plan to compare the difference of opinion between these particular writers and directors, towards racism and the civil rights movement in the 1960’s The movement truly got underway with civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King jr. and Malcolm X in the early 1960’s. Students who wanted to bolt on the equality and protest bandwagon quickly followed. Most of the students went to the Southern states (Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, etc.), to stop the racism and hate crimes. The truth of the matter is that the violence and abhorrence would get worse before it got better. The Klan became stronger and more violent, committing many more lynching and gruesome murders. Bit by bit most of the Caucasian Americans came around to the idea of integration, and did not believe that the African Americans as a ‘threat’ anymore. The only reason that this great monumental change occurred was because of the great leadership of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King jr., and not to mention the thousands of other less famous civil rights leaders, that worked to change the views of their community. There also where lobbyist and protesters...

...| Bullying on School Campuses | | I. Introduction “Parents are way overprotective these days; getting picked on by tougher kids and hassling weaker ones is just a part growing up. It is how they learn to deal with the real world.” A statement heard by many people from adults. Unfortunately, this statement is incorrect. Throughout the course of years the US Department of Justice and Education indicate that more than eighty percent (80%) of public elementary and secondary schools report experiencing at least one violent incident ranging from bullying and physical fights to rape and assault with a weapon. (ProQuest Staff) This shows there is a need for change in society. A parent guardian as well as a student would want to be able to go to school in a secure environment for learning, but is that really how schools are today? Anyone can be a bully; classmates, administrators, school bus drivers, and even family members. Being a bully can be triggered by a desire to seem cool or to show social dominance. It can also be a ploy to hide your own low self-esteem and a need for approval from your peers. Bullying may start at home; family dynamics help bred bullies. An adult who will usual give birth and raise children that will bully. The last dynamic problem of what may create a bully is American culture; hostile music and movies and the focus on excellence and achievement that ignores the greater good of man. Bullying is dangerous; emotionally, psychologically and sometimes...

...Growing up in most average households, kids are expected to further their education by going to college; however, less than two-thirds will actually graduate (Beckstead). A higher education has not always been what is known as “normal.” In 1940, less than 15% of the population who were 25 years old or older held a Bachelors degree or higher, whereas today, approximately 36% of people hold a bachelors degree (United States Census Bureau). The debate over whether college education is worth it or not started in 1630 when the colonists arrived from Europe and founded “New College,” which was later named Harvard University (Background of College Education). During the early 1900’s colleges for women, blacks, immigrants, and Roman Catholics were created. For the 1907-1908 academic year, Brown...

James Montgomery Flagg had quite a few more famous art works that he made that people don’t really know about. Figure [ 1 ]-1 James Flagg in 1915 James Montgomery Flagg’s public schools were Dr. Chapin’s School from 1889 to 1891 and then moved to Horace Mann School from 1891 till 1893. Then James went to study at the Art Students League from 1894 till 1898 under John H. Tqachtamn and J. Carroll Beckwith. Than in 1898 he attended Hubert Herkomer’s Art School in Bushey, Hertfordshire, England. James Montgomery Flagg intended to be a portraitist, and continued to paint and draw portraits throughout his career. James says that, “his real education came from the material that passed over the desks of the editors of St. Nicholas, Judge and Life” [ {{52 Anonymous}} ]. At St. Nicholas, Judge and Life James was allowed to study the people working there. With the lessons that he learned from the magazines were more valuable than any of the schooling that he took to learn the things about artistry. James Montgomery Flagg also thinks that he was an artist that felt it in his blood rather than being taught artistry in school. With the culture and society of the time period is that ever since his early boyhood...

...classes? This question is usually faced by many students nowadays planning to take up college courses. Especially in the military community where many students are working full time. In today’s modern world the demand for online education is astounding. More people opt out for online education because of their busy schedules or because it is difficult for them to travel to and from the university. Other people prefer online education because they can do it on their own pace. Many online universities also offers accelerated courses for the student’s convenience. However, online courses can also a dangerous path for students who does not possess enough discipline or the right study habits. Due to lack of supervision and at many times the procrastination, which I myself have experienced, it can lead to incomplete or withdrawal from the course. Online courses may not be as popular as the traditional education but it can give students many benefits that a traditional college cannot give. History of Online Education I cannot tell you the History of Online Education without mentioning distance education, which started the concept of Online Education in the first place. You may have heard many different versions as to where distance learning started, just like any other inventions. But believe it or not, the very first distance learning schools were founded way back before the 1900’s. Of course, there was no internet back on those days so students learned solely from small pamphlets and textbooks...
