...Running Head: IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOL PRAYER AT ECE INSTITUTIONS. The importance of the school prayer at early childhood education institutions. Introduction Prayers in institution are very essential for nurturing young kids, and it is also a medium conveying moral values to the students. Various organizations have morning assemblies where prayers are conducted before classes assume, by having prayers, critical moral is installed in the pupils, and it sticks in the minds as it becomes a habit. (Bhavya, 2014). On the other hand, prayers create a pious condition that enables the student to gain important values in life such as discipline and humility. Therefore; the students realize the importance of ethical values in schools. Prayers also encourage students to believe in the values created by the school and afterward implement them accordingly (Bhavya, 2014). It is also assumed that teachers participating in social education of the young kids should hold a cultural model that will guide their deeds and actions. In the same regard, the cultural patterns of the community members and the society influence the behavior of kids in trying to understand the world and the actions in it (Bhavya, 2014) Very many governments across the world are based on religious principals. For in instance in United States, the declaration of independence cites “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that God endows them with certain unalienable rights…” ...

...Axia College Material Appendix A Midterm Exam • Access the Week Four Electronic Reserve Readings located under the materials section of your student website. • Read this week’s Electronic Reserve Readings. • Write a paragraph of approximately 100 words for each section listed below. 1. Using the critical thinking skills you have gained so far and referring to the materials provided for this assignment, identify two possible strategies that Thomas Hutchinson or Samuel Adams likely used to develop and improve their thinking as those historical events unfolded prior to taking a stand and acting according to their beliefs. Samuel Adams may have used strategy one: analyzing a single statement for what is means by asking yourself if the statement makes sense and if so responding with a yes or no answer. Adams was not only an extremist but a political writer speaking to issues that directly affected colonies like the Stamp Act and tea distribution from East India. Both of these events affected many colonists in a negative way because the Stamp Act added taxation to certain products, while India tea imports, caused some colonists to lose money from their own tea sells. Adams would have had to ask himself why these acts where just or unjust by analyzing them individually in a literal sense. He publicly came to the conclusion that these acts were unjust because they both caused colonists to lose money and also put a damper on their personal values and liberty...

...Security of the Human Rights Defenders in Protecting Human Rights in Bangladesh Security of the Human Rights Defenders in Protecting Human Rights in Bangladesh -Justice A. K. Badrul Huq Human Rights are Charter of Rights for Mankind. Human Rights are those Rights which are inherent in the nature of Human Beings without which Human Beings cannot live in the World. Concept of Human Right is not a new one but ancient. From the earliest time, human history is a history of long struggle to protect human rights, liberty and independence. Scholars like Plato and Aristotle championed thought that People/Men were not subject who are exclusively made to bow but, also were Human Beings who needed to be taken care of. History witnesses that powerful Emperor/Rajas by dint of their power and superiority conquered another weak state/ country and Land and Independent citizens of conquered/vanquished state/ country were taken to the Land of Conquerors and their Liberty and Independence were seized, thus grossly violating their Human Rights to live in their state/ country/Land as free and Independent citizens. citizens of the conquered country were taken to the Land Conquerors as slaves. We speak of Roman Civilization. But the question is- By dint of sheer power and arms did Romans not violate Human Rights of free and Independent citizens of another weak and powerless countries. In the face of Human Right violation can Romans be characterized as Civilized? My answer is in firm Negative. British people/Englishmen...

...Bangladesh Liberation War, 1971 By: Alburuj Razzaq Rahman th 9 Grade, Metro High School, Columbus, Ohio The Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971 was for independence from Pakistan. India and Pakistan got independence from the British rule in 1947. Pakistan was formed for the Muslims and India had a majority of Hindus. Pakistan had two parts, East and West, which were separated by about 1,000 miles. East Pakistan was mainly the eastern part of the province of Bengal. The capital of Pakistan was Karachi in West Pakistan and was moved to Islamabad in 1958. However, due to discrimination in economy and ruling powers against them, the East Pakistanis vigorously protested and declared independence on March 26, 1971 under the leadership of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. But during the year prior to that, to suppress the unrest in East Pakistan, the Pakistani government sent troops to East Pakistan and unleashed a massacre. And thus, the war for liberation commenced. The Reasons for war Both East and West Pakistan remained united because of their religion, Islam. West Pakistan had 97% Muslims and East Pakistanis had 85% Muslims. However, there were several significant reasons that caused the East Pakistani people to fight for their independence. West Pakistan had four provinces: Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, and the North-West Frontier. The fifth province was East Pakistan. Having control over the provinces, the West used up more resources than the East. Between 1948 and 1960, East Pakistan made 70%...

...Benjamin Rush We one talks about the Declaration of Independence and the founding fathers who signed it, very specific names are usually spoken about. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson are just three of the fifty-six gentlemen honored enough to sign the document that would set forth in motion ideals that would shape our country into what it is today. A name that may not come up as often, but holds an equal amount of importance, is Mr. Benjamin Rush. Where Rush may not have been a decorated war veteran as George Washington, or even a brilliant inventor as Benjamin Franklin, Rush was a very important voice that helped shape the future of both politics and medicine in our country. Benjamin Rush’s work as a physician in the field of mental health dramatically increased the ability to diagnose and treat patients. Benjamin Rush also spoke out vehemently on the fair treatment of women, the abolishment of slavery, and against the use of Capital Punishment Benjamin Rush was born in the township of Byberry just fourteen miles outside of Philadelphia Pennsylvania in January of 1746. His father was a farmer, named John Rush, who died when Benjamin was just six years old. Susanna Hall Harvey, his mother, sold the family farm and moved into Philadelphia shortly after the death of Benjamin’s father and opened up a local grocery, which she ran successfully. Wanting a better life for her son, she had Benjamin move in with his uncle, Rev. Dr. Norman Finley who was a pastor...

...women. As woman working to become the overall "Beautiful Woman, I have learned the major sacrifices it takes to be that soulful and realistic person. Often time's women tend to loose themselves in the shuffle of life and they forget about the importance of being a woman. Sure we were placed here to be the nurtures to our families, friends and spouse but aside from all of that we have to nurture [us] first (which can sometimes be complicated when you become use to pleasing others). I plan to show in this essay why it is important that every woman understands her position as a woman and how it is important for us to be as empowered as possible. In 1833; Oblerin College was founded. It was the nations first university to accept women and black students. The next important event was the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. This convention added fuel to the flame of education and suffrage. The Seneca Falls Declaration has been called “the single most important document of the nineteenth-century American woman’s movement”. At the convention a declaration concerning women’s rights was adopted modeling the Declaration of Independence. Appearing in addition to issues of suffrage were issues of education and employment. The Declaration of Sentiments states: He has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is permitted to follow, she receives but a scanty remuneration. He closes against her all the avenues to wealth and distinction, which he considers...

Furthermore, it teaches the importance of self-expression and the freedom that comes along with being your own person. Ayn Rand was a person with distinct intellect, which is reflected with her novel Anthem. In Anthem, there are leaders, known as the council. The council has a restricted form of deliberating. Pointing out the evils of capitalism and class inequality, the council preserves collectivism. This dystopia is a response to having no social classes known as the “Unspeakable Times”....

...Our Mother Language Day (21st February) UNESCO's declaration of 21st February as the International Mother Language Day has brought fresh glory and prestige to Bangladesh which is making significant strides towards peace, progress and prosperity at home and discharging international obligations abroad. After 1952, the people of Bangladesh have been observing every year the 21st day of February as their glorious and unforgettable Language Martyrs Day. What happened on 21st February 1952 is widely known. Still let us very briefly recount the fateful happenings of that day and the circumstances that led to and followed them. In August 1947, a new state called Pakistan, comprising two far-flung wings in the west and east, separated by 1600 kilometers of foreign territory, emerged on the world map. The ideological basis of that strange phenomenon was the absurd and pernicious two nation theory of Mr. Jinnah that ignored such basic elements as language and culture and considered religion as a bond strong and sufficient enough to transform a people into a nation. The language of the people of eastern wing of Pakistan, and they were the majority, was Bangla. It had a rich tradition of literature of over a thousand years. The Bangalees also had a highly developed culture that had little in common with the culture of the people of western wing of Pakistan. The Bangalees love for and attachment to their language and culture were great and when in 1952 the neo-colonial, power-hungry...

...music, architecture, literature, and philosophy from the Enlightenment and Romanic Ages that best represents the developments patterns from that time. Philosophy in the Enlightenment Age focused on an individual’s right to life and liberty. One example of a philosopher from this age is Thomas Jefferson. He famously wrote the Declaration of Independence (1776) that the Continental Congress signed declaring the United States free from the oppression of England. The document begins with, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” (us history, 2013). Another such example of philosophy during the Enlightenment Age are the works of Thomas Paine. He wrote two of the most highly influential pamphlets at the start of the American Revolution. One such pamphlet is Common Sense (1776) (us history, 2011) the all-time bestselling book that advocates America’s independence from Great Britain. Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine were chosen as examples because we believe the Declaration of Independence and Common Sense embodies the passion and focus of the Enlightenment period. Philosophy in the Romantic Age shifted from the primary needs of life and liberty to expanding the human mind and appreciating the natural world. Immanuel Kant’s work The Critique of Pure Reason (1781) is responsible for early modern rationalism and...

...In the western world, education is seen as a human right. It is seen as something that a human cannot be without, and it is especially seen as something everyone should have the opportunity to get an education. Whether you are American or European, there comes a time in your education, where you will have to take responsibility for your own education. President Obama talks about the importance of this responsibility in his speech Back To School from 2009. He encourages students to take their responsibility seriously, as well as understanding the importance of it. President Obama seems to know exactly whom he is speaking to; throughout the entire speech, he addresses his audience in the right way. From the very first sentence , he has set the tone of the speech. He starts out by making himself approachable by speaking less formally, which is an important stylistic device, as he is the president of the United States of America, and therefore not someone most people can relate to. He continues to make himself approachable, by putting in a personal story, of when he says: “I know that feeling” and then continues to tell a story of his earlier life, where he lived in Indonesia . This gains the attention of the audience, not only because he makes himself approachable, but also because he makes himself relatable. This he continues to do throughout the speech – for example, he mentions activities the audience knows well (watching TV, playing Xbox ) as well as successful people the audience...

...Christopher Von Allmen The FINAL Question In this final task, I would like to touch up on two different things. First I would like to talk about the presence of the cultural contributions that we associate with Ancient Israel and New Testament Christianity that are present and “at work” in my experience and how these aspects of cultural tradition seem to have waned, dissipated, or even been intentionally forgotten. As this course played out, it made my mind go in an array of different directions in thinking. One thing that I noticed is just how much my culture is embedded in Christian culture. It goes from how Christian holidays dominate the American calendar. Our national motto, "In God We Trust," is inscribed on all our currency. Our president takes his oath of office with this hand on a Bible. And our Pledge of Allegiance declares that we are "one nation under God." And how our laws are based where you can’t steal, and can’t murder. These facts, and many more, contribute mightily to American culture. Around 78% of Americans are Christian however the remaining 22% of non Christians are still influenced by a Christian culture. Lets talk about the Justice System that America has. The criminal and justice system of America employs a Judeo-Christian requirement of having witnesses testify and in British and American jurisprudence; witnesses are part of “due process of law. The Bible stays, “One witness is not enough to convict a man accused of any crime or offense he may...

...The Declaration of Independence states that; we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. These words were written over two-hundred years ago, and even then, the people believed in the importance of equality. All men are created equal, and therefore there should be no discrimination. History shows the discrimination of African-Americans and how our country has evolved regarding racism, but now there is a form of discrimination that is becoming more prevalent. This form of discrimination is towards those of other sexual orientations, such as those who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Discrimination, under any circumstances, is morally wrong, and discrimination based on sexual orientation needs to be addressed. Along with the degrading discrimination based on sexual orientation, comes the subjection of verbal abuse and other hate crimes. A gay and lesbian anti-violence report states that 75% of hate crimes are committed by people under the age of 30, and one in three are under the age of 18. More than 80% of victims of violent hate crimes never report the incident, because many are afraid they will be “outed”. Such horrific discrimination and violence can often result in low self esteems, and in some cases, even suicide. Young lesbians, gays, and bisexuals are at a quadruple risk for suicide than people of the same age that are straight. Anti-gay hate crime rates have risen dramatically;...
