Value Based Education: a Need of Today

Truth, what is truth? This question itself has a thousand answers, no person can ever be sure of what truth is rather, truth can be justified, it can checked for reliability with strong evidences and logic. If the evidence proves to be accurate then it can be established that a certain answer is the truth. However, have we ever tried to think about what intrigues us to seek the truth? To think about a question and set foot firmly on the path of knowledge. Definitely it has! That was the very cause itself which is why this world has witnessed some of the greatest philosophers like Aristotle, Plato and Socrates etc. along with the school of thought. The ability to think and reason is one of the greatest ability humans have, it is what

Hinduism is a very broad term that encompasses a multitude of different backgrounds, traditions, beliefs, and practices. Hinduism, as we know it today, has gone through many changes. To fully understand how Hinduism became as it is currently, knowledge of its development over the course of history is essential. This paper will demonstrate the primary shifts of its central beliefs, practices, and goals between periods of Early Vedic, Late Vedic, and Classical Hinduism.

The belief of this religion was “the only religious and philosophical message of India to spread far beyond the borders of its

“The creed which accepts as the foundation of morals, Utility, or the Greatest Happiness Principle, holds that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure, and the absence of pain; by unhappiness, pain, and the privation of pleasure.”

In Hinduism, there are many core values, beliefs and behaviors that they seek as important. Hindus believe that truth is eternal and that the wise will express the truth in a variety of ways. The Hindus believe in multiple gods, but there’s only one true god, Brahman, who is essentially formless, limitless, all inclusive, and eternal. They see Brahman as not abstract, but a real entity that encompasses everything in all of the universe. They see their god as a very important figure and it is key to their religion and beliefs. Along with believing and doing all right in the Hinduism religion, all Hindus should strive to achieve dharma which helps one understand the faith of Hinduism. Dharma can be explained as right conduct, righteousness, moral

A thorough and often-assigned work, Klostermaier 2007, understands four different elements of Hinduism: indigenous, Indus Valley, North Indian “Aryan,” and South Indian “Dravidian” perspectives. Klostermaier 2007 also focuses on the change, development, and conflict within Hinduism, arguing that, in addition to sectarian debates, the colonial and postcolonial worlds gave rise to various attempts to extract certain “essences” out of Hindu ideas and discard the rest as either “corrupt” or not “original.”

The ancient religion of Hinduism centers around a person’s inner thoughts, understanding of the truths of the world, and knowledge of the self in relation to their connection to the Gods. Connecting to atman, or the self, is a center part of the religion especially through meditation and the four yogas, where a person must discover the truth in them and in atman and their dharma, or their purpose in the world. The mind is a source of knowledge and contains all of the thoughts that Hinduism is trying to either free people from or encourage them to pursue. Hindus are supposed to free themselves from desire and thoughts focused on the singular self and look towards a broader understanding of the self that extends infinitely outside of their body and mind. Hinduism’s

In recent years there has been an increased interest in coaching. The term coaching is relatively new, however Leonard-Cross (2010, pp.36) suggests that it has been around for centuries and today, it is acknowledged as good management practice (Redshaw 2000, pp.106). Coaching comes in multiple forms, carries various conceptualisations and benefits a magnitude of situations (Redshaw, 2000; Hamlin and Ellinger, 2009; Brown and Grant, 2010; Leonard-Cross, 2010). Forms vary from performance and business coaching to sports and life coaching. With this in mind, this essay will critically analyse what coaching is and explore the value performance coaching holds to organisations, this will be undertaken with reference to key coaching models and

A university, like organizations and communities, are comprised of individuals representing different cultural and religious backgrounds. In defining the rules of conduct for individuals functioning together, it is necessary to formally define those rules to ensure that all are aware of the common values that should be adhered to and the consequences of non-adherence.

According to the International Journal of Multidisciplinary Approach and Studies; “The Buddha religion (or Buddhism) is an age-old religion of India. It occupies a place of immense eminence because of its impact on Indian thought and culture. Panca-Sila is an invaluable gift of this religion. It is an important, fully developed and well-established religious and cultural system, purely indigenous to India. Buddhism is a righteous path purely dedicated to the attainment of world peace. The fundamental principle of Buddhism is to bring about peace and harmony in the world. The first stanza Dammapada teaches us that all unrest, all conflicts and all disturbances are first born in the mind.

Furthermore, our vocation responds to the call to human happiness and freedom. The Catholic Church understands happiness to be a state in which one is most in-tune with God’s teachings and carries out His will. By becoming closer with God, we will be able to achieve happiness. God is the only path to true happiness. It is this ideology that largely influences my own moral and ethical stance. I believe that to attain true happiness, we must become compassionate beings. When we begin to emphasize and be kind to others, it will soon spread and a strong-knit community will emerge. In this community, the kingdom of God will be ever present. This is what will allow us to reach happiness. It all begins with unconditional acts of compassion and

Hinduism is considered to one of the most world’s prominent religions. Hindus believe that Brahman and bodies of all individuals exists in all things. Moreover, in this morality they preach the significance of understanding and realizing the divine presence. The idea of dharma is the central principle of Hinduism morality

Despite India’s diverse cultural landscape, both ethnically and religiously, Hinduism often serves as the predominant summation of the country’s culture—and justly, albeit incorrectly, so—as over 80% of the nation’s population practices the ancient tradition (“Religious Composition” n.p.). Hinduism’s history begins several thousands of years ago, as the nomadic Aryan peoples, sweeping in from the northern Hindu Kush Mountains, alternately clashed and mingled with the local Dravidian people with their downward migration; this Indo-Aryan synthesis, centered on the sacred Vedas scriptures of the Aryans, led to the development of a new religious tradition that would prevail for thousands of years: Hinduism (Lockard 50).

Throughout history religion has been used as means to justify actions and to control people. The two earliest examples are Zoroastrianism and Hinduism. The time frames that will be discussed will be the reign of Cyrus, 521 to 486 BCE, and India from 1500 to 500 BCE, before the Persians had a direct effect on India. The Persian religion is thought to be Zoroastrianism or a derivative of it, called Achaemenian. (For this paper the Persian’s religion will be referred to as Zoroastrianism.) However, Cyrus did not strive to spread his religion he introduced his self into other religions as a divine figure. Hinduism is a religion whose origins are unknown but are speculated to have been initiated by the Aryan people. The development of the
