Concept of Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder

Concept of Beauty Is in the Eye of the BeholderIn our routine life we pass by umteen things, sometimes we give them attention by observing then in a way that our minds are bewilder to and sometimes we dont even b other(a) to life. We might catch out and find the beauty in these things using the ways of acquaintance such as reason, emotion and languages. When I think of these things I come to conclusion that they must belong to a authoritative area of knowledge such as science, religion, arts and mathematics. However in order to examine these things we need the ways of knowledge, so after all the areas of knowledge depends on the ways of knowledge. Most of the times it turns out that not all person on earth looks at the things as others do. As it is said in the claim we see and say things not as they are nevertheless as we are. I believe there is more than one vision for each thing.As it is said Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.On the other side when it comes to maths t here is always an answer that we are certain off which we cant disregard and we cant argue slightly such as 5+5=10, it is well known that the result is 10 to everyone and no one can come up with a various answer, which means that we see things as they are. But when it is somewhat the methods we used to reach the theories which might differ from one person to another, allowing the person to think of theories as what he is not as others. When I want to do bunji jumping I Choose to experience it because to me I think that it is not a risky thing to do, epoch to many other people it might look to them as the most dangerous experience of life. So in that case I would be following my emotions about this certain things and destroy the doubts of others. A way of knowledge is the reason by which we observe and look at all things. For example in the area of the knowledge , we sometimes look at the art work and render to understand it the way the artist explained it but deep inside what r eally outlets is the first event about it weather its good or not and we try to think of it as it appears in front of our eyes. In addition to that we can use our emotions to look at the create and understand it, what does it mean to us? What do you feel about the colours?For example when I look at a pic where it is full of blue modify I would feel extremely lonely and as a result I lead feel the anger in the painting.On the other side the artist might have used the color blue to portray the feel of peacefulness.So it is our emotions that do us to understand the world in a different way than others. My mood can play a major role in soul the painting because when I am in a good mood I would see the colors in a cheerful way while I am in a bad mood I would see them as outrageous thing which will somehow effect my opinion in the paining. In conclusion my feelings and my mood can greatly effect my opinion about the painting.Our culture can play a great role in our understanding of the painting and in the way we see this painting, for example I am a girl who lives in a preservative family where my parents have taught me not to look at nude painting. So when I look at a nude painting I would find it very interesting no matter how bad the artist was because I have never seen a naked body before, so for me the idea of such a painting draws my attention to the max, so my judgment on the painting would differ from the judgment of others. The language can also affect my opinion a painting because the way that I enunciate with others in order to understand their ideas can be effective, for example I can never understand what the artist exactly mean by her painting if I didnt understand the language she is speaking to me with. Cultures I might not think the same way as the artist and people think about the painting if I am from a different culture than theirs. For example in a certain culture the white dress means espousal while in my culture it doesnt mean so,if the painting consisted of a white dress I wouldnt understand that the artist is talking about a wedding. When it comes to colors its scientifically approved that every person sees the color at different shades which allow us to have different views of the painting. The mental state of a person can affect his view about things, for example a mentally sick person can look at an apple as a red ball but to us as healthy people we would recognize the ball when seeing it.Factors affecting the mind such as drugs can also affect the way a person under drugs sees things. For instance if he looks at a tree it might be care an illusion to him or like a giant person standing in front of him but to us we can see and know that its a tree nothing else than a tree. But if you think of our case we look at a tree as a tree, as anyone else see it we dont try to think of it as something else. The field of specialization for every person effects the way he thinks observe and look at things. For exampl e a scientist will look at the foliation of the tree as a source of food for the plant because the photosynthesis occurs there but t a fashion room decorator he would look like it as a material for his clothes productions. Accordingly to housewives she will look at it as a decoration, a sodbuster will look at it as source of living. To a mathematician he will look at it as a geometrical shape with different angels. An artist will look at it as a mixture of colors mixing with each other. As the end of the day a leaf is a leaf no matter how we look at it.An elevators ding sound whitethorn seem to a musician as an initial of a music chain of a song that would be completed by other sounds in the surrounding on the other hand for us it may seem much less meaningful. Moods also can effect in your way of treating and thinking about ancidents like if somebody pushed you throwly or got into your way while you are in a bad mood you may explain it as if that person did it on purpose and make a big negociate out of it, in contrast if I was in a good mood and this situation occurred intentionally I may think that it was by accident and ignore it or I wouldnt have paid any attention to it.If a writer was present in a seen it may be printed in his mind with full details including its varied aspects, while others may remember it generally with poor details or neither as if it is a perfunctory normal seen.Blind may depend on his of touch instead of his non-existing sight ,he will touch a lot of things and his instinct will help him to see things and feel things much more than what a normal person do so a lot of times you see them have certain talents that differs them and extinguish them from others.

Impact of Online Learning on the Education System

Impact of Online Learning on the Education SystemTopic Area Education for in allCan online acquisition replace our authentic case of direction?IntroductionWe live in a world where rise to power to most imagings (thanks to the internet) atomic number 18 just a click away. The only resource that seems to be struggling to reach to the majority of the world through this method is prepareing or program line. Is it possible for education to remove the walls around our schools? Can our authentic model of education be replaced by online removeing?GlobalHow has online instruction affected our world?Online education has been come on there since search giants like Google, hick and Bing were set up. The only difference between now and then is that earlier it was difficult to prove that you had knowledge about a subject beca utilize there was precise trivial proof of what you knew unless you could demonstrate it. Earlier all organizations mandated proper certification or documen ts of qualifications. Its only now that online learning offers proper certification. And in accordance to that online learning is slowly getting accepted in companies and organizations with the proof of the certificate(s) achieved by doing so. Online learning offers courses on everything from counting on your fingers to university level Astrophysics.As of 2013, the number of pile in Colleges 183 millionSecondary School 568.5 millionPrimary School 713.6 millionTotal number of students 1.436 billion (20.5% of the wide population in 2013)The laws that govern population growth entail that these numbers would have grown in the past 4 years and would be approximately 1.501 billion the great unwashed (20.5% of 7.461 billion total population). According to EdSurge the number of learners on the big 3 online learning sites (edX, Coursera and Udacity) were a stunning 24 million.United States of AmericaSeveral universities like Harvard yet encourage their students to view video lecture s so they batch use the time for the lecture for doing any(prenominal)thing else and when they be free they can simply view the lecture. According to Udacity CEO, Sebastian Thrun, some 4 million registered users worldwide, and about 60,000 working on nanodegrees at anyone one time. In several schools in USA, the teachers use caravanserai Academy to aid/ use up their daily classes. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has put almost all of its courses online on MIT OpenCourseW ar for all student regardless of their nationality, or the college/university they attend. This really helps students a look at since most of the material for math and science is almost the same as their universities/schools/colleges.IndiaIn countries like India where students are pushed to their mental and physical limits to achieve grades that yield are a 100 percent average or the equivalent, these certificates show an otherwise stairway to success to these students. Students now turn to websites l ike edX, Coursera, Udacity and Khan Academy to learn whatever they need to or in several cases want to. This also allows the students to excel in their studies, and get better career opportunities in their future, as online learning shows an effort to learn beyond what is expected of a student. The Rajasthan state government is going to add Khan Academy lessons as part of their solar day to day school curriculum to provide their students with a platform with universally accepted teaching-learning models and techniques. But due to other troubles like poverty and availability of electricity (which I pull up stakes address later) it is difficult to switch over to online education.ChinaIn China the number of universities and colleges crack online learning platforms has skyrocketed in the past years. 30 out 110 of Chinas well-known universities have an online learning platform. Chinas ministry of education has been encouraging a address of students to take online courses, however no university is allowed to give out degrees.Another service to online learning is that you can view videos/lectures as many times as you need to. You can ask for help on forums on many online learning sites. Online learning also offers a lot of different perspective and immense exposure. Google was one of the first multi-national organisations to employ people not based on their qualifications or proof of knowledge/learning rather based on their skills and experience.There is an option for the learner to avail for the Honour Code Certificate but courses offering these certificates are extremely few and when a learner presents an honour code certificate as part of their CV or rsum, they are looked at with suspicion as the terms of the honour code are literally honouring your word. The reason honour code certificates and statements of achievement (based on the honour code) were halt is because of misuse of the fact that there was no way to verify (branching out to Verified Certifica tes) that the person doing the course is the person whose name is on the certificate. On the other hand, verified certificates use a government issued ID to function and the name on the certificate has to match the one on the ID. This reduces chances of someone else doing your work for you. A problem with certification for online learning and online courses is that almost all the verified certificates on the most online learning platforms are now paid and these prices are very high. A lot of the paid/verified certificates on edX are for $50 and quite a few of them are for a hundred dollars. As a matter of fact, Udacity has a minute number of free courses and all other courses on Udacity are paid. This baffles it difficult for a learner to get these certificates because of the cost of these certificates. This reduces the number of learners completing the course, contary to what is verbalize by edX when a user enrols into a course Its a proven motivator to complete the course. Thes e prices can create a barbed-wire around the school we are trying to render wall-less.Another fact worth considering is, that in a lot of countries schooling/college is expensive and using free, online resources can help you save all that money.For the world as one, I hazard the developed countries (like the United States) should start by using online education to enhance and ultimately replace their current models of education. By doing so, they would set an example and would encourage other countries to be like them.NationalIs replacing the current model of education with online learning feasible in my state?According to the Indian Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment 27.5% of Indias population is below the poverty line, which is roughly 367.48 million people (Population of India 1,336,286,256 * 27.5/100 = 367478720). I imagine, asking students/people who are underprivileged to learn using online resources, is inappropriate because having an internet connection is expens ive and without one online learning is impossible. So its almost like saying the water supply is free but the way to get to the water is paid (and expensive). So I do not think it is feasible to replace my countrys current model of education with online learning.LocalIs replacing the current model of education with online learning feasible for the students in my school/community?According to a survey I conducted among my friends on my social networking circles (Link to responses available in the bibliography below) 98.3% of the people use the internet for learning something, studying and/or work.Most people use the internet for 5-8 hours a day.22.4% of the people use google and/or other search engines to learn what they want to.5.1% also use Khan Academy and use search engines.1.7% use Khan Academy and similar websites for studying.6.9% do the points mentioned above and also use edX, Coursera and similar platforms for studying.3.4% use Khan Academy and edX/Coursera and other platfo rms for studying.11.9% use the internet for college/university work and use all of uses mentioned above.49.2% use all/some of the tools mentioned above and also work.Keeping the above points in mind I believe that my friends circle can work out on the internet for schooling/education or can use the internet to enhance this essential process.PersonalAs an individual I believe I can switch over to the Internet for my education as I have no problems with Internet access, and the colleges/universities I am considering for my further education accept and even encourage online learning and certification, which again is not a problem with me. I develop that I can fit into that group of people who can and should turn to online learning. I find that using E-Books and E-Lectures is more convenient and environmentally friendly (using E-Books rather than books). I can also get my transfer on to material that sometimes teachers in class might not be able to cover. I think that replacing the c urrent model of education with online education is possible for me, although I might require a teacher to guide me at times.Personal ResponseMy research and essay were partly inspired by Salman Khans (educationist) Ted Talk (in 2011) and I had turned to online resources for learning. Salman Khan tells us how the traditional academic model is not cut out for the extremes of the Bell Curve the students who find a topic/subject easy, and the ones who dont, but the system is rather suited for the average student. He says that, just like in Music or military Arts, you only move onto a further skill once youve mastered the basic. But as all of us know, most of our schools cannot compensate for the students who lag tail in a subject/concept and the class simply has to move on. He uses the cheese-block analogy and demonstrates to us how minor gaps in our knowledge can make the cookie crumble (the cheese in this case). So I see myself working on Khan academy to do the best I can and learn all I can because according to Sal Khan You only need to know one thing You can learn anything. This exit help me and can also inspire other people to be like me.Possible Future ScenariosThe world needs to realise that traditional schools and curricula will not be able to cope with our rapidly changing world. Getting the world to accept online resources as instead of/to enhance our education, we need a little amount struggle to overcome the natural resistance to change that we have, monetary funding and support from governments of the world (in terms of providing cheap internet access and displace learners to use online resources). After taking these steps the world would slowly but surely be a better place.The world can simply hack the fact that online education holds the key to our future and would not embrace online learning, which would cause problems several other problems (like availability of space for schools, teachers and staff required to run the school and availabil ity of books etc). It would also cause a rise in illiteracy and poverty (since it would restrict learning and schooling to schools and colleges only). Taking into account my research, I think that this scenario is not very likely to occur.The world can realise this fact now and can help our future generations to focus on keeping up high in the sky rather than getting out of problems like illiteracy and poverty. Considering what I learnt through the course of my research, this scenario is very likely to occur.The world can move toward Scenario 2 but might not be able to make enough progress due to problems like poverty, illiteracy and lack of access to the internet. This would cause these problems to grow further. This scenario is highly likely to occur.__________________________________________________________________Bibliographyhttps//www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=number+of+students+in+the+worldhttps//www.edsurge.com/news/2015-09-08-udacity-coursera-and-edx-now-claim-over-24-millio n-studentshttps//support.edx.org/hc/en-us/articles/215167977-Does-edX-offer-free-certificateshttps//www.google.co.in/about/careers/how-we-hire/http//www.tatatrusts.org/article/inside/rajasthan-tata-trusts-elearning-mouhhttp//www.thecrimson.com/article/2015/9/3/cameo-cheating-method-mooc/https//edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-building-and-running-a-course/en/named-release-birch/running_course/discussions.htmlhttp//socialjustice.nic.in/UserView/index?mid=76672https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Indiahttps//ocw.mit.edu/index.htmhttps//docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_fipGX3VASNtGMSbY4uyMGgTY1QlpVwhH1pFuAGmT80/edit?usp=sharing (Responses for survey)http//www.worldometers.info/world-population/http//www.ted.com/talks/salman_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education?language=enhttps//www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MTRxRO5SRAhttp//www.scmp.com/business/companies/article/1966969/more-online-education-start-ups-china-expected-close-down-2016https//internationaleducation.gov.au/ disc ussion/Latest-News/Pages/Online-education-in-China.aspxhttps//internationaleducation.gov.au/News/Latest-News/Pages/Online-education-in-China.aspxhttp//www.whatsonweibo.com/10-hottest-chinese-online-education-companies-2016/http//www.ted.com/talks/sal_khan_let_s_teach_for_mastery_not_test_scores/transcript?language=enhttps//www.khanacademy.org/youcanlearnanything

Sociology: Privilege :: Sociology Essays

1. (a) Privilege is defined as a favor or right granted to some people, tho not to everyone.(b) Power is defined as strength, ability, or a driving force. (c) Difference is defined as the way in which two things are not the same. (d) match to MacIntosh there are two types of libertys. The first is based on what she calls unearned entitlements, which are things that all people should have. Some examples are feeling golosh in a public place or working in a place where they feel that they belong and are valued for what they can contribute. The separate type of privilege is what MacIntosh calls unearned advantage, and occurs when unearned entitlements are restricted to certain groups. An example would be a white person feeling emerge of place at a downtown nightclub. (e) The paradox in privilege is that individuals are the ones who experience privilege or the lack of it, but individuals are not what are actually privileged. Instead, privilege is defined in relation to a group or a cordial category. For example, race privilege is more about white people than it is about white people. Privileges are only granted in society when people identify the individual as belonging to a specific category, race, gender, or cultural background. By saying that oppression is the flip side of privilege the author means that for every social category that is privileged, one or more other categories are oppressed in relation to it. Oppression points toward the social forces that press upon people and hold them back, thence blocking their pursuit of a good life. 2. (a) Capitalism is defined as an economic system based on ownership of resources by individuals or companies and not by the state. Capitalism as it relates to sociology has to do with the fact that it not only produces enormous amounts of wealth, but that it creates extreme levels of inequality among social classes and societies. Capitalism also has do the rich richer and the poor poorer and has opened the gap in th e U.S. class system. The matrix of domination says that separately particular form of privilege, whether based on race, gender, sexual orientation, class, religion, or ethnicity, exists only as a much larger system of privilege. It works by simplifying and clarifying the gray areas that we encounter in privilege. It allows us to see that each form of privilege exists only in relation to all the rest and keeps us from trying to figure out which is the worst or most oppressive.

Jack The Ripper Essay -- essays research papers

The Whitechapel Murders and those of Jack the Ripper are not generally one and the same. Over a period of three years towards the end of the nineteenth deoxycytidine monophosphate a number of prostitutes were murdered under different circumstances the murder of prostitutes was not an especially unique occurrence during those times but some(prenominal) of the murders force particular attention on account of the savagery with which the victims bodies were mutilated. Within the Whitechapel Murders was a cluster of murders that demonstrated sufficient similarities as to suggest that they were move by the same person. One of the first instances of serial murder was thus identified and sensationalised in the media as the work of Jack the Ripper, nicknamed on the strength of a letter, probably a hoax, sent to the Central News Agency and claiming responsibility for the killings. Jack the Ripper was a man, and the killer surely was a man, who did not have the innovation to merely kill his victims he needed to mutilate them. Such was the savagery of his attacks and the enthusiasm of the press, that he successfully terrorised the environs of Whitechapel in East London for several years. In spite of an extensive investigation of the killings, Jack the Ripper was never apprehended nor convincingly identified.The Ripper murders were conducted against a backdrop of appalling social deprivation and unimaginable indigence amongst the poor of East London. The advent of industrialisation resulted in widespread un...

Littleton :: essays research papers

It seems for the past week or so, the entire world (yes, world, when I was in Spain they showed news coverage of this 24/7 too) has been shaken up by the crop shootings in Littleton, CO (I think thats the name of the town, though dont hold me to that). What amazes me about this story is not the fact that two people went into a school and shot a bunch of people (apparently this is the seventh in-school multiple homicide in teh past 18 months), its the fact that the media has given extensive coverage this, and has exploited it for wholly its worth. I suppose with the impeachment trial over and done with, and the only thing remaining of that issue is a few jokes, the media needs something new to pounce on and make a dollar off of. And they have done just that. Everywhere I turn someone is talking about how terrible this cataclysm is. Dont get me wrong, I think the senseless killing of people, which is pretty much what happened in this case, is wrong. The two boys who did this probab ly wanted to kill themselves, and figured theyd make as big of an exit as possible, and in doing that, they have succeeded. Thats not the thing that really bothers me though, its the fact that a nation like America (and other nations too, approximately of my knowledge of what happened came from a British paper) can exploit something like this, and the masses can swallow it up. But I suppose it makes good news. Who is the sicker person in this case? The nazi boy who goes into a school, kills about ten people or so, or the average American who buys the newspaper with the headline of "NEO Nazi MASSACRES INNOCENT TEENS IN SCHOOL"? The boys who did this knew very well that if they were to pull off something like this, they would have the entire country (and others) all wrapped up in it. If they seriously wanted to kill people, and nothing else, they would have just blown up the entire school with everyone in it. But they didnt, and they have gotten everyone all caught up in the story. Ive seen it described as "one of the worst tragedies in history". The people that make those statements have swallowed this lie hook, line, and sinker.

Will My Child be Okay at a Summer Camp? :: Disabilities Education Essays

Will My Child be Okay at a summer camping area?With the thought of summer camp comes the recollection of cabins filled overstuffed with bunk beds, campfires, and mess hall meals with the loads of friends we met at the opening dance. Summer camp is a childhood memory for many of us, one that changed our youth, usually for the better. Such camp memories and activities still hold true today, even for children with disabilities. The inclusive classroom that takes place during the school year has now begun to carry over into the summer months at camps across the country, whether they be overnight for the whole summer, day camps or pass camps. Residential camps may be one setting where children can develop greater personal and social maturity, according the Ann Fullerton, et al. article entitled The Impact of Camp Programs on Children with Disabilities Opportunities for Independence. With that thought in mind the Americans for Disabilities Act now requires all camps to make reasona ble accommodations so that children with special needs can attend to. But most camps surpass this requirement by a long shot. Inclusion has become quite a popular aspect of the general education schooling and so children with disabilities, learning, behavioral or physical among some, are now being placed in classrooms with their peers with no such needs. These children are given the chance to interact and take in things they would watch never done at home perhaps or in a special education school. The same goes for summer camps these children may attend between June and August. As stated in a Washington Post article, parents of special education students have long said their children are left in the lurch once school closes for the summer. Summer camps across the country are beginning to bring together children with and without disabilities for memorable summer experiences. The percentage of accredited camps that have tailored service for children with physical or mental disabilities has risen from 9 percent to 13 in the past two years, states Harriet Gamble, director of communication theory for the American Camping Association. Having accredited camps that blend children with and without disabilities provides an opportunity for new friendships to form and families to attend camp together. At Kamp A-Kom-Plish in Southern Maryland is where Tiffani Sterling-Davis sent her iii children. Alayna and Julian checked into camp with sister Breanna, 11, who has Down syndrome.
