MY PHILOSOPHY OF BILINGUAL EDUCATION BY: PATRICIA GLENN QUIÑONES -----“Education should be related to an intercultural and interdependent world. A world in which education teaches man to foster sharing attitudes, to compete with oneself and not with others, learning to be tolerant, and to develop pity and solidarity for the suffering of mankind. A world free from prejudices, where learning to care, learning to be, learning to share, learning to grasp the whole and act on the parts, and learning to carry on learning should be society's main objectives.” (Miguel Ángel Escotet) We live in a highly globalized world that desperately needs people who will be proactive citizens of the world and leaders in intercultural communication. If we want to live in a world of peace, cooperation and harmony we need to have educational programs that will assist in forming young people who will help create this type of world. I believe that providing high quality education is a must in order for our societies and our economies to flourish.
What does a comparison reveal about the significance of power over humanity? Humanity in its simplest form represents fundamental aspects of human life which engages human interaction such as love, loyalty, sexuality and many other features of humanity that make us who we are. Through a close analysis of Fritz lang’s ‘Metropolis’ and George Orwell’s novel ‘Nineteen Eighty Four’ express’ a dystopian concern for the threat of an unmediated concentration of power as accelerated by an escalating industrial capacity and by extension, the implicit threat to individualism. Both texts are futuristic concerns within its context intensely expressing how the significance of power can affect humanity. There is an apparent level of control over the workers in ‘Metropolis’, most notably evident in the opening scene.
Two characteristics of the oppressed are fear of freedom and self-depreciation. Fear of freedom results from the oppressed having adopted the oppressor’s guidelines forcing them into conformity. Independence and responsibility are driving forces that are needed to restore their humanity in the oppressed. In the process of this acquisition the oppressed must be mindful that through this liberation they
Fredrick Douglass is evidence of discovering his own brilliance and universal truths. He makes use of these concepts and found a way to free himself and his fellow slaves from the denial of universal humanity that all men deserve
Cameron and Roark are Rand’s way of illustrating that the passion felt in men such as these can be essential, but also an immense handicap. It would seem wise for one to study these two men, and analyze their treatment and actions, for it gives a more insightful outlook on the working world that one may never see until they are destroyed by
That is where there is much debate on the idea of contextualization and if we, as messengers should do it or not. I think the way Muller goes about describing contextualization is great, he encourages us to strip down our cultural ideals and look at the culture we are in focusing on the values of that culture; at the same time he also informs us that quite simply, there are certain things about other cultures that will never allow you to be the same as the people you are with and instead of taking that as this awful thing, we take it, address the current place we are at, and from there we share the gospel to the likes of the relationship we share with the culture we are in. Overall, I can say that in reading The Messenger I was challenged and reminded
He uses words like momentum, aggravate and promising to create a tone of importance, hope and concern. Although Abramson presents the information in an equal way, I can see subtle traces of his pro-seniority views coming through. When Abramson uses sentences like “an uphill battle against a practice that is enshrined in law”, I sense that he is advocated for a change in the laws and believes it is a benefit to the educational systems and children as well. Just in the title of the article “Pressure Mounts To Ax Teacher Seniority Rules” ,Abramson creates a sort of excitement around an issue that is important, but will take time to resolve and gain either widespread support or will have no impact at all. Abramson does not have any forthright biases, but subtly shows his support for the ending of the laws by using a change in tone.
Maybe there is a better way to punish those accused of wrong doings. On the other hand, when he expresses the valuable use of terror pertaining to a country's most urgent needs, it makes more sense. I am a strong believer in doing things for the good of the majority. People who indulge in activities that only benefit themselves and possibly harm others should be dealt with. And with the context of his writings being much different than the lifestyle I am accustomed to, I begin to understand his principles.
Devault expresses his personally opinion of the importance of self-discovery if an individual is to find their true purpose in life and demonstrates the ramifications of resisting self-discovery. He also illustrates how an individual can gain access to a greater understanding of purpose through a process of self-interrogation. Both texts use powerful techniques to explore different processes of self-discovery, self-reflection and self-interrogation, however ultimately both of these mechanisms of self-discovery achieve a more thorough
The Culmination: A Twist on Self In “Responsibility for Self,” Charles Taylor articulates an account of the self that is a critical synthesis of Sartre, Frankfurt, and Heidegger views. Articulated below will be Taylor’s account of the self and how it developed from the other philosophers’ views. Taylor sees many virtues, as well as, problems contained within Sartre’s, Frankfurt’s, and Heidegger’s account of self and agency. A natural place to begin is with Charles Taylor’s concept of “responsibility for self.” For Taylor, responsibility for self consists in duty of radical re-evaluation of our deepest held belief: This radical evaluation is a deep reflection, and a self-reflection in a special sense: it is a reflection about the self, its most fundamental issues, and a reflection which engages the self most wholly and deeply. Because it engages the whole self without a fixed yardstick it can be called a personal reflection….
