( author,357). This quote demonstrates how his values and morals of his thought of education were pushed out and taken over by the white mans rules. Education is meant to benefit the individual in many ways. In "and then i went to school" education served Joseph as a new experience and new culture. He was taught how to live like the whites, as well as talk like them.
“I am trying to save our lives,” says Alexei, who expresses his passion for saving their lives in two styles. One was personal and the other was towards children who he taught. While he defied the custom treatment of Indian education, and also while he had arguments to shut up his mouth towards answer questions in class of the non-Indian teacher. He was hopefully that his people would change their attitudes towards education. That to me is a reason why he should be a teacher to his people.
I have chosen to compare and contrast John Dewey and Nel Noddings views on their educational goals, a social justice curriculum, liberation education, issues of standardized testing and the effects on students and teachers. Dewey’s main educational goal is that education should have two sides: social and psychological. His evaluations are based on how the child interacts with society and how he/she contributes to the good of society. Dewey was the first one to say we need to look at the students to decide how to teach, a modern-day form of ‘differentiation’. He believed that all students should have the opportunity to take part in their own learning.
In the literary work "The Pedagogy of the Oppressed" by Paulo Freire, Freire elucidates how education can be the only guide to revolutionary cultivation and sees education as the means towards liberation. As one who returned to school later in life, I know that education is a tool that anyone can and should use. Freire sees education as essential to liberation, and a critical curiosity. In my education both in and out of school, I’ve learned a similar lesson. Paulo Freire believes that the oppressed can be restored to a state of empowerment by an application of critical dialectic with the oppressor.
This article is aimed at young children who are doing hard labor work, government officials and worldwide organizations who are willing to help stop it all and get positive results in the end. Appeal to sense of justice is a persuasive technique, which is used in this article. It is located under the sub-heading A U.S Problem Too, Dorigny writes, ‘In 1983 a federal law was passed that set child-labor guidelines, limiting work hours for kids and requiring safe conditions.’ By using this persuasive technique it enables readers to play on the belief that we all have the right to be treated fairly and that the readers of this article should strive for just outcomes in the end. The writer also appeals to fear and insecurity of close to 1 million kids in the U.S work for farmers from sunup till sundown, who harvest and haul and work near dangerous machinery or in other hazardous conditions. This suggests that the children’s safety; security and freedom are very well at risk.
Eric Lowry ELIT1040 F Coming of Age Essay 2 July, 2012 Mark Twain in his book “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” uses a variety of situations and experiences to provide Huck a moral education. Initially he is exposed to the rules and values of society by the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson. Huck’s education progresses with his exposure to Jim and the numerous adventures they encounter. Huck, by the end of the book, has gained the wisdom and moral values to form his own opinions of society’s standards. Twain imparts a powerful message for the reader to obtain their own moral education so they too can judge the values of their society.
Parsons used the metaphor of education as a ‘bridge’ to work based on meritocratic principles. The education system takes children away from intimate relationships with family and puts them into a social institution where they are expected to follow instructions from an authority figure socializing them into obeying authority. School children also have a strict timetable which they must adhere to, this emphasis on punctuality and organization will prepare them for working life. Davis and Moore said that the education system was there for ‘sifting and sorting’ so that the best jobs go to the hardest working, more intelligent people. They argued that the education is meritocratic and is there to soft sort and select individuals on the basis of ability, motivation, talent and allocates them appropriate roles when they reach adulthood.
The article indicates the inconsistency with an “all or nothing” view and instead reminds us to interpret it on a more “how much?” basis. I strongly believe that both nature and nurture play an important role in our upbringing and well into our adult lives. There are arguments throughout this article and many others that state intellectual ability is solely an inherited trait. While I beg to differ the concept of Galton when he suggested that human society would be improved by “better breeding,” I can understand the viewpoint. I can more easily relate to the reasoning that the differences in intellectual ability are a product of social inequalities.
I would give him resources that could aid him and sign him up for recreational so he can interact with other children.. Motivational interviewing builds on optimistic and humanistic theories about people’s capabilities for exercising free choice and changing through a process of self-actualization. Motivational interviewing is a technique in which you become helping in the change process and express acceptance of your client. How would you close the interview? I would close the interview to let him know that I am a child advocate and I’m here to help fight for his rights. Closing the counseling interview is critical.
By making the new generation to understand clearly the gravity of the holocaust it will be less predisposed to repeating the same in their time. The current generation should ensure that when they tell their children about the holocaust they should also pass the same succinctly to the generation after them (their children's children). By doing this we will pass a rich culture of respect for the sanctity of human life and the need to have it protected and respected at all costs (Lest we Forget,
