In his speech before the National Convention, he claims the Church calendar to debase nations and persuades people that a new calendar is a must for every Frenchman. However, Romme is biased towards the production of a new calendar, clearly shown, because he is head of the calendar reform committee (Document 2). The “Institution Concerning the Era of the Republic and the Division of the Year” also supports the new calendar. This document not only looks at the calendar from an intellectual level, but also considers the economy. It claims a new calendar will soon be needed for commerce and the trades, and arts and history.
Who were the major players in the Spanish Civil War and how did they affect its course and outcome? For the first time in Spain’s history, 1931 marked the year that changed the country into an orderly democratic republic. The exile of King Alfonso XIII in 1931 because of the loss in support from the Spanish people only highlighted that the monarchy was doomed. Therefore, the Second Spanish Republic ruled from 1931 until 1937 and was under the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera whose main aims was to modernize Spain through liberal, democratic means. Although, the development of change already faced opposition from right-winged supporters, including rich landowners who feared social changes that the Republic would try to implement.

Copernicus went to study at the University of Padua in Italy. While Copernicus was studying in Padua, he began to wonder if what he had been taught was correct. In Krakow, his professors taught him about Aristotle's and Ptolemy's views of the universe. Copernicus' professors were convinced that the Earth was the centre of the universe, but Copernicus had different ideas and started to question what he had been taught. At the age of 30, Copernicus returned to Poland, where he lived in his uncle's castle and continued to study the Solar System.
Although Fahrenheit 451 was written nearly sixty years ago, it serves as a warning to present day people about the danger of a technological take over. The author of this novel used a science fiction novel to portray his opinion of how the world would be if people constantly worship advancing technology and increasing knowledge. Science fiction stories tell about the future by blending scientific data and theory with the author’s creative imagination. In Fahrenheit 451, the author, Ray Bradbury, reversed the roles of present day heroes and community leaders. He also altered the purpose and reason of the life in future America if things don’t human continue to let technology overpower them.
Or is a new type of tolerant, ecologically sustainable, and culturally diverse world emerging? Certainly the horrors of past centuries will be somewhat redeemed if this sort of world could emerge.

Jeremy Bentham first proposed is theory of Utilitarianism on the basis for social reform. While Bentham may have failed in this aspect, he did set in stone the foundations for future ethicists such as J.S Mill and H. Sidgwick to expand on his theory and explore it in further detail. Bentham’s proposed that an action’s moral worth can easily be determined by the use of the Hedonic Calculus; this formula takes into account the intensity, density, duration and the number of people affected and places a numerical value of the potential outcome. This may be seen as a very mathematical approach to try and measure what it ultimately an abstract concept like happiness or pleasure, and subsequently critics of Bentham’s version can be used to justify acts such as torture, gang rape and murder. An example of when Act Utilitarianism could be used to decide the best course of action would be in a group of people, for example, choosing whether or not to have red wine or white wine.
This essay will be discussing the idea of ‘if the personalized induction is always more effective’ by basing information on theoretical concepts and the techniques.

Abstract The following essay will explore the attachment theory by discussing how the theory was developed, making note of the influential theorists involved in the attachment theory and also what the theory entails. The essay will go on to investigate the impacts of being each of the four proposed attachment styles, including the secure, preoccupied, dismissing and the fearful avoidant attachment styles. Personal examples will be supplied throughout the essay to illustrate some of the salient points raised. Finally the essay will contrast the two opposing perspectives on the durability of attachment styles, concluding that the research on the topic is contradictory, and thus no perspective is clearly more accurate than the other. In conclusion, further personal examples, including celebrity examples
The view of learning as restructuring and replacing old beliefs implies that transition involves unlearning as much as it does learning. A further hypothesis suggests that instruction may need to recapitulate transitions in the history of science to help learners transit from their own naive theories. Conceptual recapitulation refers to a means of remediating learning problems by retracing instructionally what should have been naturally occurring developmental stages for an individual (Case, Sandieson, & Dennis, 1986). But it might fit the historical recapitulation hypothesis as well. There also seem to be qualitative shifts in the mental models needed by learners to understand more complex systems, for example, in such domains as electricity (Frederiksen & White, in press).
