Ghazala Noor Hist 117A U.S. History: 1600-1877 Monday 6:00 – 9:10 Was the Salem Witchcraft Hysteria a Product of Women's Search for Power?

We see that Mariam is verbally scolded by Nana when she accidently breaks Nana’s tea set. Nana calls Mariam a ‘harami’ and we see that although Mariam did not know the meaning of the word at the time, as she was only five years old she knew it was an ‘ugly, loathsome thing’. This presents the notion of Nana’s objective resentment towards Mariam and makes the audience aware of the uneasy relationship between the two.
Social and generational tensions may be the root cause. Or, maybe fear and anxiety about their future prospects might have given the girls a mental breakdown.”(6) Many of the books I have looked at have explored the possibility that Gender issues and psychological issues also may have fueled the Witch trials to epic proportions. Today in our system, gender is mostly kept out of the decision making process in court and psychological issues are evaluated to see if the accused is even fit to stand trial in the court of law.

These concepts are the basis that every teacher needs. This literature review, provides a brief overview of pedagogy, such as constructivism and cognitivism, and new emerging pedagogy, such as game-based learning and gamification. The content of the literature review is not an exhaustive look at pedagogy, but rather a flashlight in a dark college classroom. The researcher will shine the flashlight on both old concepts that some educators suggest are out dated and should be left in the closet, and other concrete building blocks that are a must have in all classrooms. The flashlight will shine brighter as it relates to the teaching of an ethics course using game theory.
Rajin Patel Period 3 1/9/11 Miss Woodward Discrimination In the wake of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination Miss Elliott thought it would be practical to create a small scale discrimination experiment in her third grade classroom. This exercise would help the children to see the nature of racism and prejudice at an early age. First Miss Elliott divided her all-white classroom into two groups. The two groups were the children with brown eyes and the children with blue eyes. This caused the children to see differences within each other, which would cause them to become exposed to the real world’s problem of racism.
