In Jamaica Kincaid’s essay “On Seeing England for the First Time,” Kincaid expresses her resentment of the influence of English culture on her daily life. In 1981 Kincaid’s homeland Antigua, a Caribbean Island, was under British control. Kincaid’s perspective of England is evident in her educational viewing of the map, in English customs forced upon her, and the rhetorical device of anaphora.…
The fact of the matter is that the senses are meant only to inform us as to what is beneficial and what is harmful, and in that respect they are perfectly clear and distinct. Our mistake comes in expecting them also to inform us of the true nature or essence of the things we are perceiving, when they can only give us very obscure information in this regard.”40…
As children, we learn that there are five human senses: sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. Upon reflection and memory, I realize that sight is always listed first in the list of senses. It may just be a reflex or a habit to do so, or maybe it’s just human nature to place high emphasis on sight. Sight is taken for granted by most of us, and when we encounter non-sighted individuals, we have an emotional and physical reaction that we’re relieved the non-sighted cannot see.…

The eye transduces light rays into electrical and chemical signals which are then interpreted by the brain where images are constructed (Society of General Physiologists, 2014)…
The ability to perceive and respond to one’s surroundings is a human necessity. I learned that the hard way. Last night I lost my glasses in the bathroom; this essentially made every trip to the bathroom as hazardous as a stroll through a minefield. However, we often tend to approach “sight” and “blindness” from very literal perspective. Whereas Sophocles, in his play Oedipus Rex, approaches the sight-blind dichotomy metaphorically. Sophocles associates sight with possession of prophecy and knowledge while connecting blindness to ignorance, using Tiresius and Oedipus as physical representations of the latter and former. Sophocles uses sight and blindness to establish that humans are natural drawn to the unknown and that insight of the future is detrimental to man, revealing that ignorance of what the future holds is necessary for a satisfying life.…
Macular Degeneration is a problem in the part of the eye that controls your sharpest central vision. It is a group of diseases that result in a loss of detailed vision. The brain will not just leave the spot empty, so it learns to fill it in with spotty macular cell damage. People most of the time don 't tell their doctors (ophthalmologist…
As a young teacher I often think that teacher leadership simply meant senior teachers with years of service working with the principal to bring back new teaching styles or policies to us the lesser staff members. The authors states that teacher leadership can emerge from any teacher within the school community. Katzenmeyer and Moller on p.4 defines teacher leadership as teacher leaders lead within and beyond the classroom; identify with and contribute to a community of teacher learners and leaders; influence others toward improved educational practice; and accept responsibility for achieving the outcomes of their leadership. But certain teachers would say that they are not propelled to be teacher leaders, because of the many obstacles that stand in their way. These obstacles can be describes as: Personal interest such as family life. Ones conception of the skills to lead other adults. Also one’s interrelationship with other staff members. The school culture can also be an obstacle; if the school does not have an open mindset and conducive as to embrace colleagues as teacher leaders.(Katzenmeyer and Moller p.3).The principal can also be an obstacle, principals see themselves as being leaders and might be threaten as to allow a mere staff member to be a leader. The governing bodies or stakeholders can be an obstacle also for a teacher leader. The governing bodies make policies and set school cultures not conducive to teacher leaders. The profession is also an obstacle because it does train teachers to take up leadership roles. Other obstacles such as time and nonpayment for services can hinder teacher leadership as well.…
