It is after all needless to say, that the Caribbean educational system has greatly been shaped by the European system of education. The way we spell, speak, communicate and teach others are directly fashioned off our European counterpart so much so that even now, a Caribbean individual can apply and attain a job in European countries using our educational background. However, it is important to learn how the Caribbean educational system is changing. It is evident that the aim of education in the new politically independent societies was to foster equality of opportunity, attain social mobility and engender development and modernization of economic. Nevertheless, the European educational system is still dominant in the
“The objective of this design is to provide both the skeleton of a narrative overview of the Atlantic World and an introduction to the major topics in the field (Shannon, xi-xii).” Atlantic Lives touches on many aspects of the Atlantic world such as contact between Europeans and natives in the Americas, experiences with African slave trade, the role of gender, and various other areas. Shannon includes many important ideas of the Atlantic History 1600-1800 course into the book, Atlantic Lives, in the unique way of individual accounts. Timothy J. Shannon, author of Atlantic Lives, is currently a history professor at Gettysburg College. Besides writing Atlantic Lives, his other works include Iroquois Diplomacy on the Early American Frontier (2008), Indians and Colonists at the Crossroads of Empire: The Albany Congress of 1754 (2000), and co-author of Going to the Source: The Bedford Reader in Early American History (second edition, 2008).

MUSIC was deployed in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and Newark, New Jersey, and proved to be particularly effective in supporting social relationships, social events, and shared social goals and projects. Shaw describes the social constructionist paradigm as part of a three-part synergy. The social setting presents a context of social relations and cultural materials which set the stage for sociocultural activities and processes through which developmental internalized and externalized constructs can be formed.

A DUAL IDENTITY IN COLONIAL AMERICA John Hamblen Professor Binnington History 162 Word Count: October 18, 2012 By looking through the 18th Century, one can see that the North American colonists possessed an identity of both British and colonial aspects of society. Immigrants from the British Empire helped shape the dual identity of colonies. People of different faiths and religions wanted a place where land was cheap and labor was needed. They wanted a society in which they could live their lives the way they wanted to. While living in their ideal society, the British Empire wanted the colonist to think of themselves as British subjects but at the same time to consider their identity of colonists.
Filipino Latinos are created by a similar process of amalgamation but the pieces that the amalgamation is based on are different. Filipino Latinos contain elements of European culture and language in the form of Spanish (the colonial power in this part of the Pacific for key eras) and European culture as mediated through the United States. Filipino Latinos, of course, are a part of the story of a number of the most important Asian cultures in a way that parallels the ways in which African cultures have been threaded through Caribbean Latino culture. Both Caribbean and Filipino Latinos are mixtures of racial and cultural elements, but the specific elements that went into these mixtures. Filipino Latino culture has been much more about Asia than Africa.
These include things such as the family, education, the justice system, the mass media etc. which are all essential parts of an individual’s everyday life. Within these complex structures is the basis upon which society exists. A social institution “is an established and organized system of social behaviour with a recognized purpose” (Andersen and Taylor 2011).To thoroughly evaluate the nature of social institutions it is common to analyze two of the main perspectives; the functionalist and the conflict. The functionalists gave five functional requisites which these social institutions provide: Replacing members, socializing new members, producing and distributing goods and services, preserving order, and providing a sense of purpose (Henslin 2012a).
The Legacy of Colonial America Beginning in the early seventeenth century, there were many people that came to the Americas, whether it be for freedom of religious practice or the thought of striking wealth. The colonists in Jamestown, Plymouth, and Massachusetts Bay influenced and continue to influence our nation today due to the events and actions that they participated in during the early 1600s. America’s roots as one nation were founded on the beliefs of the early settlers in the colonies. In both the United States government and practice of law, these values show how not only the colonists influenced the early world, but how it has for better or worse changed how we as one nation operate today. One colonial ideal that is still present in today’s nation is the idea of helping others in need.
