not fear Dr. Noddings as another intellectual who prescribes ego-stroking in order to improve student performance. Noddings writes, “I should emphasize that caring is not just a warm, fuzzy feeling that makes people kind and likable.” (Teaching Themes of Care) By contrast, she states that teachers are responsible to satisfy students, “desire to be cared for, the desire for caring relations,” as they teach. Teachers must do this in order to show students that they are personally valuable and that
Plans for next year include repairing and strengthening relationships with as many clubs or administration or teachers as we can! Monthly themes can be established earlier in the year during a work laden meeting in the beginning of the year, and any ideas from other officers can be squeezed out as the year progresses. I hope that the website continues to be used as it feels neglected at the
a cultural project, a sea-change in the psyche of a nation and a product of the imagination of the ‘lunar left’ (Rigney & Hemming, 2011).” The main idea one should keep in mind when reading this paper, is the discrepancies between Indigenous and Western worlds and the way in which they conceptualise music. When understanding music as a tool for reconciliation, it can be defined under any of the headings stated above. The way in which traditional and popular music is discussed in this paper can be
The Conflict between Passion and Intellect in The Tempest During the time of Shakespeare, society had a hierarchical structure. In Shakespeare's play, The Tempest, the characters of Prospero and Caliban, represent two different extremes on the social spectrum: the ruler, and the ruled. Their positions on the social hierarchy are largely due to the fact that Caliban responds almost wholly to passions, feelings of pleasure -- his senses, while Prospero is ruled more by his intellect and
Some theorists seem to suggest that the power to control communication is held by the producers of messages whereas other theorists argue that the power to control interpretations of texts are held by the consumers of culture operating within specific cultural contexts. Which of these positions is true? Why? It can be agreed to a large extent that the power to control interpretations of texts are held by the consumers of culture operating within specific cultural contexts. However, this is not
When I tell other students from New York City that I live in Bensonhurst, they often tell me they have never heard of it. Often, I have never heard of the neighborhood they live in, even though we all live in the same city. I think we all live in and interact in our respective bubbles, and besides the periods we spend at work or school, we tend to keep ourselves exclusive to people outside of them. There is nothing wrong with being selective with who you interact with, but those self-isolating behaviors
Introduction Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Notes from the Underground (1864/2008) comes across as a diary penned by a self-described “spiteful” and “unattractive” anonymous narrator (p. 7). The narrator’s own self-loathing characterized by self-alienation is so obvious, that he is often referred to by critics as the Underground Man (Frank 1961, p. 1). Yet this Underground Man is the central character of Dostoyevsky’s novel and represents a subversion of the typical courageous hero. In this regard, the
Introduction A substantially growth of organic food industry globally has become one of the evidence proving that people emphasize more in eating well, sanely, healthfully and even ethically nowadays (Bittman, 2009).An estimation of US$ 47.2 billion is expected to grow in the international organic food market within 5 years from 2010 to 2015 (Transparency Market Research, 2014). Consumers are willing to pay more for organic, environmentally-friendly or natural products even during recession (Cummings
object to the idea of slavery of the lowly, and Behn’s work would have to sell as she wrote as an occupation instead of just pleasure. Behn, and Oroonoko, object to a lack of honour and respect for nobility. This respect for nobility plays into the theme of kingship much more than it does for slaves. Kingship was a controversial issue in which Behn had well documented views, unlike slavery. Behn’s narrator does not object to the colony of Surinam, as she shows by her description of the natives with
its 11th five- year plan. As was typical for such pronouncements, the plan touched on many aspects of China's economy, including its fiscal situation, its current account surplus, and its desire to equalize rural and urban incomes. But the central theme was growth.
