Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781) published Nathan der Weise in 1779. Written during the Enlightenment period‚ Lessing aims to capture the religious intolerance of his time and refers to this theme as the “scourge of his age”.

We as teachers need to assist and aid a child in their learning process and help them meet their fullest potential. While our role is to guide‚ we provide access to a world of information and hopefully they will find the answers to all their questions instead of being the primary source of information

directly or indirectly exert their power and affect a situation’s outcome. Some women show their power by simply keeping their faith or by mothering a powerful son while others show their power by leading armies or assassinating the enemies of their people.

Cultural Diversity in My Community Cindy Kirkland Cultural Diversity February 18‚ 2007 Chino a community being so diverse‚ there is not enough cultural awareness. Leaders in the community treat people friendly‚ because they either know them already or read their personalities. In a diverse community‚ it is essential that the members of that community be aware of other members in the community.
