Make friends with someone of another race, ethnicity, age, ability, or sexual orientation. Appreciating and embracing diversity helps to promote peace. 2. Get to know your neighbors. It’s hard to reclaim peace without a sense of community. 3. Take an adventure to neighborhoods of your town or country that are ethnically focused to appreciate diverse cultures. Cross-cultural understanding is key to building peace. 4. Travel to learn. Get first-hand experience in how things happen in other places and bring home questions about how you do things at home. 5. Drive with patience and tolerance. Keep the peace on our streets and highways. 6. Listen more. Really listen, without giving unsolicited advice. The validation of being heard is often more important than solving the problem. 7. Spend time with a youngster. This can often remind us of the meaning of a peaceful world. 8.

Development on the other hand refers to the desired positive change that is aimed at improving the socio-economic, political and cultural situation of a society, or nation at large.

...in history, of Athens' commitment to this cause. In the previous two parts of this paper I discussed the point of view of a couple of political scientists and history professors on whether Athens promoted democracy consistently or not. I also mentioned some of the ancients' views on the subject (such as the famous Aristotle). After having analyzed all this evidence carefully, I came to the conclusion that while Athens had intended to spread democracy throughout Greece at first, it failed to do so consistently and not because lack of willingness, but due to two simple factors that would concern any powerful empire: security and money. In his book “Interpreting the Athenian Empire”, professor Roger Brock starts off his argument by explaining how Athens could not have been the primary promoter of democracy in Athens because by the time of the Peloponnesian war, there existed numerous city-states in Athens that were democratic without having been influenced by Athens first. If true, this would even challenge the other well-known “truth” about Athenian democracy: that it was the first. A few of these numerous democracies include: Andros, Tenos, Carystos and Thasos. However, he himself admits that there is little to no recorded history about these places, and it is therefore impossible to know with certainty if their “democracies” were democracies by today's standards. If this hypothesis was proven to be, it would help convince us that Athens did not have that great of an impact in other...

...In “Fry’s Pure Concentrated Cocoa”, it stresses that the product is the “strongest and best which can possibly be produced”. This can be applied to Britain. During this time, the country had headed towards it’s peak of success within itself and through others. Britain is the cocoa in this situation- it’s the best. Another advertisement illustrates individuals “In Darkest Africa”. The caption describes how Africans were suffering. Britain was the group that rushed in to take control of their land, in regards to their own satisfaction and appearance. They used their power to uplift territories that would be beneficial to their image. The “Pears’ Soap” advertisement relates to this, too. The poster reads, “Pears’ soap is a potent factor in brightening the dark corners of the earth as civilization advances, while amongst the cultured of all nations it holds the highest place- it is the ideal toilet soap”. Britain had taken countries that were uncivilized and lead them in the direction of power. This was the imperialistic way of gaining dominance around the...

...The second time we see Sydney needing male assistance is after the mortifying event that sees her kicked out of the sorority and sitting in the rain – certainly not princess behaviour! Whilst sitting in the pouring rain once again in a state of emotional dishevelment another male, Lenny - one of the dorks, swoops in and saves the day! Oh but wait Sydney’s damsel in distress syndrome doesn’t stop there! Towards the end of the film Sydney is ‘saved’ by not one male figure but two, how strong could traditional patriarchal ideologies get?! While one of these white knights may be her father yet again, the final white knight is the absolutely guessable Tyler Prince - who in an urgent rush to get her to her student presidential candidate debate - kisses her to wake her up – where is the consent in that! That’s right ladies and gentlemen Sydney our ‘strong empowered’ female who ‘disembodies’ traditional stereotypes is completely reliant on men to make everything better! How does this belief back up the film's marketing strategy of ‘not your average fairy tale’? If anything this film doesn’t only reinforces sexist stereotypes but redefines constant as being...

...How National Intiatives Promotes Anti-discriminatory Practice: How National Intiatives Promotes Anti-discriminatory Practice: By Paisley Cusick. The Children’s Act 1989 (2004) The Children’s Act 1989 (2004) The current child protection system is based on the Children Act 1989, which was introduced in an effort to reform and clarify the existing laws affecting children. The Children Act 1989 gave every child the right to protection from abuse and exploitation and the right to inquiries to safeguard their welfare. Its central tenet was that children are usually best looked after within their family. The act came into force in England and Wales in 1991 and - with some differences - in Northern Ireland in 1996. The key principle of the Act is that the welfare of the child is vital when an issue concerning the upbringing of a child has to be decided by a court under this legislation. A court must also ascertain the wishes and feelings of the child and shall not make an Order unless this is 'better for the child than making no Order at all'. Every effort should be made to preserve the child’s home and family links. The Act introduced the concept of parental responsibility which is defined as 'the rights, duties, powers and responsibilities which by law a parent of a child has in relation to the child.' This replaced the old idea that parents have 'custody' of the child or children. The Children Act 2004 was introduced following the tragic death of Victoria Climbie and...

...How does the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme promote learning? The International Baccalaureate Diploma programme was established to provide ‘the educational needs of globally mobile students’ (IBO 2012 p.3), allowing them to gain a recognised qualification to allow them access to further education in universities around the world. Beyond these very broad objectives the initial programme was based on three fundamental principles, which outlined the IB’s approach to learning: * to provide a broad education, establishing the basic knowledge and critical thinking skill * to develop international understanding and citizenship * to provide choice within a balanced curriculum to allow the students interests to be fulfilled (ibid). The aim as Peterson has suggested was to not to just provide a place for the ‘acquisition of general knowledge, but the development of the general powers of the mind to operate in a variety of ways of thinking’ (IBO 2012 p.4). This is expressed further in the IB’s Mission Statement which states its desire to create a better world through education, which it claims can best, be achieved through international-mindedness. It adds to this by stating that ‘the International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect (ibid). As with the other programmes, the PYP and MYP, the DP ‘promotes the education...

...------------------------------------------------- Diversity is more than just a tick-box exercise. Discuss how people resourcing can facilitate and promote the development of positive diversity values in organisations. Diversity - recognising it, managing it and understanding it, is a relatively new concept within the realm of HR and People Resourcing. Owing to demographic shifts and the composition of the international workforce, the need for its positive promotion within the workplace is now seen to be imperative. More commonly, the implementation of diversity initiatives are ultimately becoming the sole responsibility for HR and typically involve employee recruitment and promotion strategies targeting underrepresented groups and tools to both use the hidden perspectives within organisations and, ultimately, bring them to bear on organisational policy decisions and be reflected in positive diversity values. This essay will continually discuss the concept, background and management of diversity in a business context, the business case for diversity – that being the ‘need’ and its impact on People Resourcing. With the advent of diversity featuring more in business and legislative literature, it will question if organisations are merely responding in being reactive because they have to or being proactive because they want to? Studies by the CIPD and Social Scientists alike conclude that diversity and its implementation within companies and organisations should be more than...

...One of the responsibilities of a tutor is to ensure that every learner in their lesson is treated equally; feels valued, respected and to actively promote these at all times. Each learner is different, therefore, differences should be indentified at the beginning and teaching methods should be adapted to support individual learning needs and abilities. Equality is about all learners having the same rights and opportunities to participate regardless of gender, race, ethnic origin, religion disability, sexual orientation or age. To promote equality in the classroom is by providing equal opportunities for all by making sure everybody gets a chance to participate regardless of differences based on race, gander, disability, age, sexual orientation, language, social origin and other barriers. It means giving equal support to all learners as well as ensuring any resources used are appropriate and not offensive or stereotypical. Diversity is about valuing the differences that people have and appreciating their individual characteristics. To promote diversity it is necessary to encourage a widening participation amongst the group that gives learners the opportunity to share their own understanding of life and religions while learning from their peers experiences, thereby encouraging ongoing peer support. Moreover, it is making sure that the classroom is accessible and safe especially for people with sensory disabilities or lack of mobility. For instance, if there is wheelchair...
