    Recently our world has been in panic about a contagious virus called Ebola. As more and more people come in contact with this horrible disease, we learn more and more about it. We learn where it came from, how you can contract the virus, and most importantly what might be the cure for it. This disease is quickly spreading around the world. Unsafe contact with wildlife, lack of medical care, and inadequate safety procedures are what led to the first case of Ebola in humans and the spread from one country into another.…

    Eng103 1ST Essay

    Even though, so called “radical thinkers,” come in all shapes and sizes and have different ideologies, would they perhaps support one another’s philosophies? Friedrich Nietzsche’s out take on Christianity is, let’s face it, quite ominous, compared to certain important historical leaders such as, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but their ideologies might not be so far off. Both Nietzsche and Dr. King were thought of as “radical thinkers,” and are still thought of as “radical thinkers” till this day, for completely separate reasons. But I believe that their motivations/motives are the reason why their views in morality are equivalent in seriousness to; fundamentally the same. Even though these two great “critical thinkers” have opposing views in certain important issues, such as Christianity, I believe that if Nietzsche were to have lived during Dr. King’s time, he would agree with certain philosophies that Dr. King had.…

    Deutsche Allgemeinversicherung

    Deutsche Allgemeinversicherung (DAV) is one of the world's largest insurance companies. In 1996, 51% of DAV's business was in Germany (in which 60% was in retail insurance). Managers of other firms say DAV's strengths lie in both 'sound, traditional insurance management' (most likely the core insurance product offering) and 'outstanding customer services' (most likely the human contract element in the insurance product). The insurance company has cutting-edge technology. DAV seeks to lower its defects' internal costs and external costs by increasing its appraisal and preventation costs.…

    ENGL 100 Essay

    The idealized images, the pictures of perfection, are what we usually see in advertisements nowadays. Commercials have become a great part that we encounter in our daily life; as a consequence, we are all affected by the perfect outlook of what showed on mass media. As a case in point, Americans are usually attracted by the greatly designed sport utilities vehicles. These vehicles are usually a symbol of an ideological value through the image of a powerful, break-through tool in order to conquer nature. Nonetheless, the gap between the mythic significance of the SUVs and reality is somehow undeniable. From historical to modern aspects, the legend of SUVs in stunning advertisements are sometimes just a disappointment. The idealized images, however, are often the symbol of how American life is viewed and lived. Thus, the differences between these images of perfection and reality not only illustrate an ambitious dream, but also confusion and the exploitation of historical values.…

    I believe the author of the first essay, Dinner Party Table Settings; chose the informative process because the author wanted to give step-by-step instructions on how one hosts a dinner party. This is useful because it teaches the reader in precise steps. The author could have used a space order organization method, which would have provided a more learning experience. When it came to the third essay Cochlear Implants; the author organizes the essay by topic. The author first starts off by explaining what…

    enabling and assessing learning

    Learning theories have been influential since the 20th century and are now used as diagnostic tools to help identify styles in which learners learn, (Avis et al. 2010). The summary behind these concepts, propose that all people learn differently, and to ensure individual learning needs teachers need to recognize these styles to address differentiation and learning needs of individual within group of learners, (Jarvis, 2006). The key learning theories from research are; behaviourism, cognitivism and humanist. Key academics Pavlov, Skinner and Watson (1973) influence the theory behind behaviourism. They approach behaviourism as a scientific approach towards a desired goal, consisting of reinforcement to shape behaviour. In thus the teachers act as a stimulant; shaping behaviour via repetition and habit forming to create a response. However influential theorists Bruner (1966), Piaget (1926) and Gagne (1985), argue that this style is manipulative, the learner will know how that learning process takes place but not necessarily know why? Behaviourist looked at the environment stimuli influencing response, whereas cognitivists look at the individual’s mental process in learning and how they gain that knowledge. Bruner (1966) believes people learn with the acquisition of knowledge as social process of problem solving. The focus stems to establishing positive conditions that promote the individuals path of being ‘ready to learn’, establishing a ‘meaning to learning’; with initiative and analytical thinking and finally with relevance of self- fulfilment of what ‘motivates the learner’. This takes away the behaviourist approach of learning without an external reward to learning with independent meaning in which you create your own path. Lastly Humanist approach to learning develops the idea of the learners at the centre of the learning process, (Maslow, 1970 and Rodgers et al, 1983). Rogers (1983) influenced this approach and believed that each learner is free to direct…

    When Alfie Kohn wrote his paper What Does It Mean to Be Well-Educated? he tried to focus on everyone's point of view. He wrote about how there are many different types of people who are able to hold a job with maybe just one degree against the other who may be unemployed but have multiple degrees. Why would having more initials at the end of your name guarantee your success in life? Why would his ex wife had endured 29 years of hard schooling just to end up using only one of her many degrees? There are many reasons one person may obtain multiple degrees such as a decline in the amount of people available in a position or even the necessity of that job field at all. I am in the middle of obtaining my very first degree from Liberty University and I could never imagine attending school for a total of 29 years. Everyday in my field I am learning new ways to manage my work more efficiently and control the outcome of my work. In any workplace an education is something that is held high on a pedestal simply because it means you have been to school longer but in some cases that does not mean you have a great education.…
