How far did Stalin's social policies change the lives of children and women in the years to 1945? Stalin addressed 5 issues; - Control of the media - Education and indoctrination - Women rights - Totalitarian control of society - Suppression of Minority rights Stalin had three, main policies: The policy of Socialism in one country, the Five Year Plans and the Collectivisation of Agriculture. After the revolution of 1917 women had been granted greater rights in marriages and divorce and abortion was now easier. This shows that women had more rights before the revolution, even though these rights were later restricted. Women were given more rights such as encouraging them to work and also to be a housewife.
1. The teacher rearranged the seating to make it more uniform, he voted himself to be the project leader and made the students call him Mr. Wenger for respect as a dictatorship would be. The teacher made it so that nobody talks without permission, and when they do talk they must stand up. Mr. Wenger made the kids sit straight so that they seem more respectful towards the dictator, and make their answers to the point. The leader created a bizarre energy which everyone was caught up in.
There was an underlying reason for this Act which was that forcing children to attend local school was a way of propping up Anglican schools and stopping the spread of non-conformist school boards. However in comparison Gladstone’s policies where more centralised on removing any inequality or discrimination practised on religious grounds. In conclusion most of the Liberal legislation did not do much to improve social or living conditions, though led, for example, to wider access to schooling and the attempt to end intimidation in voting. Much of the Conservative legislation directly affected conditions of working class life. Ultimately weighing all the factors I must say that The Conservative Government of 1874 to 1880 did more than the Liberal Government of 1868 to 1874 to improve the conditions of the working
So society is said to be meritocratic, as everybody can achieve if they want to. Durkheim (2002) Believes that there are fixed rules for all and by transmitting the norms and values across society, it is then fair and meritocratic. Marxists on the other hand believe that meritocracy is a myth and that it hides the truth of the inequality in society. Sociologists argue that the processes in school such as the hidden curriculum helps to keep society unequal. The hidden curriculum has a big influence on pupils, its one thing to teach the child educationally but if the child is treated unjustly (no voice) by the school system then a much more negative message is given to those pupils about the nature of society.
As the government had strict censorship on books and journals when information did get through it would usually be made even more powerful as the government had attempted to ban it. Also due to the fact that free speech was denied political parties were driven underground and led the political activists to extremism. Also with the use of the Okerana as a secret police force many people were unsettled by the government using them against their own people. With the programme of industrialisation creating factories and jobs in cities many peasants moved there in a hope of a better life. However what they found was poor pay, poor housing and with trade unions being banned they had no one to help them.
Also, he points out that the parents were not allowed to get to close to the children, showing us that the children had no type of affection. The parents were not supposed to get close with the children because in most cases the children were going to die and they wanted the parents to be able to move right along. The author uses Aries’s Centuries of Childhood: A Social History of Family Life, a study of European attitudes toward childhood. By doing this enrichment assignment it enhanced my thought of how the Puritan children were treated. I never knew that the Puritan children did not have any childhood until I took this class.
School uniforms are not only items that cause a lack of freedom of expression but also a largely ineffective way to help solve the problems they were meant to. Actually, look at it this way “Consider for a moment the problem of gangs. The wearing of gang colors is only a symptom of much deeper social problems, and in most of the schools where gangs are prevalent, the wearing of gang colors has already been banned. Uniforms do not address the complex social realities that lead to gang culture”. (“Point: The High Cost of School Uniforms”).
Most students today know little to nothing about Vietnam thanks to the lack of photographs, as well as coverage. Some of the students Loewen had interviewed did not even know who fought in the war. A student of Loewen’s even wrote that showing the images of Vietnam during the war (specifically of the naked little girl running from the napalm attack) would completely change a student’s view of the war. However, because textbooks choose to leave out these stirring images, students still do not have the right outlook or sufficient knowledge of what happened in
This has made women to be illiterate as the men acquire the best education. The Kosgei 2 reason they are doing this is because the belief women are inferior over the men and should not have anything good. Although United Nations has discouraged such culture it is still gaining popularity in many countries around the world. Such cultures make women to be slaves of men and deny them freedom of education. Some religion in the society has been unable to move with the time, they reject modern education claiming that it is a threat to their beliefs and the way of life.Consequently,the children of such house hold are also deprived the opportunity to study in modern schools and free their minds from conservative ideologies.
Thus, she reformed the education system by creating a whole new method of education for the new generation. ”Truly there is an urgent need today of reforming the methods of instruction and education and he who aims at such a renewal is struggling for the next generation of mankind” (The discovery of the child, Topic 1, p.10) Dr. Montessori believed that education should be taught to children naturally and spontaneously. She felt that the current education system is very teacher-centered approach rather than child-centered approach. If the education is to be reformed, it has to be child-centered approach; meaning the education is focused on the child and gives importance to the child. She wanted children to have the freedom to explore their surroundings and to learn, imitate, make choices, connections and communicate.
