...Introduction Owing to the rapid changes and emerging trends in the current society, it becomes important for stakeholders to alter the pedagogy in certain subjects so that it reflects the current needs of the existing learners. The current society has different challenges as compared to the earlier societies. In the past years, people concentrated on discovering new ventures because the world was still in a cradle state. There were more areas for people to carry adventures and find out new ways of handling issues. The indication here is that during such days people concentrated on building some body of knowledge. There was more concentration towards the development of a certain form of thinking so that people could perceive issues within a certain line of thinking. This therefore means that individuals had to memorize some of these new adventures in order to ensure that they are informed or they are aligned to a certain school of thought. This situation has become the guiding principle in the teaching of mathematics as indicated by the statement. Mathematics lessons do not concentrate on teaching numeracy skills but inculcating certain skills among learners that will help them to coincide with the existing societal demands. Analysis Constructivism theory in teaching of mathematics Constructivism is a theory that gives insight to educational stakeholders on how to manage the learning and teaching process.

...IMPACT OF MEDIA ON SOCIETY Media has continuously pervaded and defined society and has advanced with technology. The traditional forms of media propagation including television, newspapers, posters and mail remain as efficient as before the introduction of newer methods. Email, websites, e-zines and social online media have replaced expensive media production such as magazines and photographic paper. Media imparts and shapes society’s opinion on the subjects of politics, business, culture and sports. It reflects on the freedom of speech and freedom of expression within a country. The positive aspects of free media far outweigh the negative effects that may occur. In the case of internet based media, control is difficult. Control of the Internet has however been imposed in China. Media has the ability to bring relief to disaster prone areas while at the same time it may be responsible for nurturing prejudice against certain regions. For example, the perception that Africa is an extremely underdeveloped region although it is actually bustling with megacities. In the world of social media, gossip columns have the potential to ruin lives of individuals or boost their popularity. Advertising through modern media has led to the rise of fortune 500 companies. It has been argued that media has resulted in a generation of couch potatoes who rarely engage in outdoor activities. It has become rarer to find someone who has good handwriting since typing is now the preferred skill...

Introduction One question that most people usually ask themselves when asked about the history of arts is whether art can have a history. Yes, art has a long history, older than most if not all individuals currently living on earth. Most people think of it as being timeless because art has remained beautiful and attractive since the Old Stone Age. Individuals enjoy looking at arts for its own sake not knowing that they may have a significant meaning and the knowledge of its context inasmuch as viewers from different generations and cultures may see same artworks and interpret them differently from the previous generations. Most of the art works we see around originate from things of the past. Rarely does an artist come up with an imaginary art from vacuum (Art History, par 1). Most of them usually refer their arts by critiquing the outmoded models, borrowing some traditional techniques and methods, researching the old and forgotten stories as well as building on some timeless themes to enable them obtain new ideas (Par 3). It is very important for us to understand the historical precedent as it guides artists in obtaining context since art began from the caves by the Old Stone Age Homo sapiens...

It was my way or rebelling.” (Bellmann) Beyond being part of his own life Tayou’s works today is based on the premise that art cannot be separate from life. Pascale Marthine Tayou is a chameleon able to change between many tiles such as sculptor, drawer, installator, performer, and video artist as well as a poet, writer, director and actor in his own plays and films (Bellmann) .
