...Much of our understanding of the ancient Egyptian culture is based on elaborate worship rituals related to death and the afterlife. Egyptians were devoted to their gods and to their pharaohs who were gods on earth. This obsession with higher power is shown very abundantly through Egyptian art. As an artist myself I feel very connected to this form of expression. If I had been born in Ancient Egypt around the year 2000 B.C., I feel like I would most certainly have been an artist of their culture as well because it is part of who I am and who I was born to be. Egyptian art and architecture developed independently and revolved around the concept of immortality. Pharaohs recognized that their nobility and eternal spirit depended greatly on the masons, painters and sculptors they chose to reflect their lives and carry on their legacy. Therefore artisans were treated with great respect and were considered middle class. Respect and a sense of value are very important to me, and had I lived in Egypt during this age they would have been imperative also. Egyptian artisans were instructed in the proper techniques to carry out their work in a very specific genre and style. I believe this is where the challenges would lye for myself. I feel like art is a personal expression and would find it very difficult to conform to a social standard. My personally opinion is that art should be used to express abstract thoughts, religious views, cultural beliefs, life, fantasy and personal beliefs...

...LEARNING ACTIVITY 1 COMPETITION IN THE FREE MARKET SYSTEM Provide an example to illustrate one of the four types of competition in a free market system: perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly. Did this competition result in any type of government intervention? Project how this type of competition, if widespread, would impact the overall health of the economy. In the mid 1970's AT&T ,a provider of Local and long distance telephone service, had either destroyed or bought most of the company's competition, becoming the country's largest and most influential telecommunications company (AT&T Breakup, January 2015). Thus creating a government regulated monopoly. The FCC was created to monitor the actions of AT&T. In 1974 The Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice sued AT&T. If the FCC had not stepped in and demanded more competition we may not have the likes of Sprint, Verizon, and T-mobile in today's marketplace, making it more expensive for the consumer. LEARNING ACTIVITY 2 Determining ethical boundaries can sometimes be a challenge, since ethics is both based on individual beliefs as well as societal standards. Would receiving a holiday gift from a client be considered bribery? Would it be wrong for a person in a position of power, like a mayor, to ask a bank manager friend for a personal loan? On a more practical level, is it unethical for a cashier to provide a coupon to a customer who did not have one at...

...During the classroom period, we were asked to form a team of two for each group. The purpose of the team is for each member to perform different tasks relating to the experiment. As I was paired my team mate within a reasonable amount of time, we collected the required materials for the experiment, in this case are four origami paper with different color on front and back sheet and a stapled five pages of instruction. Firstly, we set up our station by clearing everything not related to the experiment and brought in extra tools, such as a smartphone to record the time of each task performed, a pen and a calculator. Before starting the experiment, we went through the given instruction on how to fold a place card within eight steps. As we get familiar with the process, we assigned our self with individual task on who would perform actual folding and who would be keeping track of the time taken of perform every finished place card. According to the text book, this is simply a delay relating to setting up the station and familiarizing the process. Then we began working on our first place card. The first place card took us 2 minutes and 43 seconds to complete, which was also the longest processing time out of four. Then follow the second, third, and fourth with 1 minutes 21 seconds, 1 minutes 16 seconds, and 1 minutes 9 seconds respectively. We inspected our product every time before we moved them to storage. We observed the processing time for each place card became shorter as...

...Raymond Faulkner Professor Monica Hardin HUMN 101 Learning Activity Two The myth about the non-retract ability of the cheetahs’ claws and the tear marks is an interesting gene that has always been told in my family from one generation to another. According to the myth, the cheetah and the leopard were once great friends. One day, they went out together to look for food. After travelling for more than 3 hours, they noticed gazelles grazing from a distance and agreed that the cheetah would go into the open land and chase the gazelles to the forest while the leopard would lay waiting in the forest and make a kill as the gazelles passed by. The cheetah spent more than 4 hours diverting the gazelles into the forest. Very late in the evening, the leopard rushed into the already tied gazelles, pounced on one and climbed with it to one of the huge baobab trees. The cheetah tied as it was, looked at the leopard enjoying the meal, but could not climb the tree. He tried to use its claws to climb the tree for the whole night till the claws could not retract back and due to the pain, tears rolled down its cheeks. This is why the cheetahs’ claws are not retractable and the tear marks on its cheeks to date. The leopard however, had to come down after the meal was over to hunt alone from then henceforth. Nonetheless, the myth about non retractability of the cheetahs’ claws as well as the tear marks has greatly changed due to the heritability information currently known...

...Maximizing children’s learning through science activities Researchers: Jeneza Lorein S. Albaño and Rica Rhose B. Pasion The National Teachers College S.Y. 2012-2013 Problem: Throughout the researchers observation at Precious Heritage Christian School, they found out that in their science class, pupils are not interacting well to the lesson. They also found out that teachers are not using appropriate materials in teaching science. Intervention: The researchers focused first to the Learning process of the pupils that may involve in science learning. One of it is the “Law of learning” by Edward Thorndike that includes different learning process and primary laws. (Law of Readiness, Law of Exercise and Law of the effect) that’s why the researchers made their science classroom more active by providing science activities that involves exploration. The researchers also uses “Realias” as their teaching materials for they believe on what Jean Piaget said on his cognitive theory. The researchers also provides science experiments that supports through their research about John Dewey and his philosophy of “Learning by doing” which also agreed by the father of Kindergarten Friedrich Froebel that believes on the project based approach of learning. Result: The pupils improve up their attention and became an active learner from the intervention that the researchers prepared. The pupils became curious and they listen very attentive and more cooperative. Adding up together, having...

...Performance Activity 37: Student learning is impacted, how I administered the silent reading section of the BRI. From what I have learned from Dr. Jeewek, the presence of a teacher or absence of a teacher can impact the student’s frustration level. Gabi could have scored higher or less if Ms. Olson, the reading specialist, was present. Another way I could have impacted her levels of support, scoring at the independent, instructional, or instructional/frustration level, is how I administered the assessment. If I was quiet, or was rude, I could have impacted her results of levels for each grade level. Performance Activity 38: By evaluating the different scores of the student’s levels of frustration, I can examine her strengths and areas...

...Week 4 Learning Activity Paper Summary of Major Principles From Sources Provided MIS301 In the video “Warehouse Robots at Work” I think there are two real principles that can be seen at play. The first is the importance of innovation. The warehouse business had been doing business the same way for many many years. People would fulfill orders as they came in and there were many moving parts and the potential for human error was great. Those in the industry who were willing to attempt to implement the new innovative robotic warehouse management systems were willing to take a step away from business as usual and uproot the culture of a warehouse floor with these new ideas. This ability to innovate and leverage technology proved beneficial. The second thing is how critical a SCM is to business. Only through sophisticated software controls which integrate with a robust SCM are these robots able to bring so much value to a business. Kiva describes their system, “Using hundreds of autonomous mobile robots and sophisticated control software, the Kiva Mobilerobotic Fulfillment System enables extremely fast cycle times with reduced labor requirements, from receiving to picking to shipping. The result is a building that is quick and lowcost to set up, inexpensive to operate and easy to change anywhere in the world.” In the video in the “If Programmers Made Planes” I think the major idea of...

...Introduction This term paper entitled “Varied Classroom Situations and Learning Activities Reflective of the Teacher’s Core Values and Morality” is of importance to not just student teachers but to professional teachers as well. Student teachers not just licensed teachers, as they go along this term paper, would understand how varied classroom situations and learning activities would be successfully done through the imparted values and morals they have in them. This is about the moral dimensions of classroom interaction. As we will discuss, we have analyzed moral dimensions of what happens in classrooms. We have established thus far that classrooms are places of moral action and interaction, and that the moral dimension of classroom life is complex and multivalued. Morality is something that guides people with the decisions and choices they will make and with this, teachers are guided thoroughly on how they will act accordingly when faced to the students. Typically, teachers act what is proper so that they will be a role model to students. Basically, with the core values acquired by people especially teachers and the morals they have in them penetrates how they handle classroom situations and learning activities. Morality is something that affects how people think and act because it is the basis and standards of the norms of the society. Teachers’ ethics also give emphasis on how teachers’ good image is maintained. It is an obligation of the teachers to conform...

..."Attribution and Social Learning" Please respond to the following:•From the first e-Activity, contrast the advantages and disadvantages of just-in-time learning. Evaluate whether or not this is a valid and worthwhile investment to help increase the productivity within an organization. Describe your personal experience(s) with just-in-time learning.Just in time learning I think is a great advancement in the way we acquire and retain information. Per the “The Head First Formula” article I read it goes into how the brain functions to retain important information. And with this study they are able to create books toaccommodate their research to get all the information you need.The advantage of just in time learning would be the ability to get information quickly andreproduce what you learned, cutting training cost and time needed to train, or even the need for trainers as a lot of just in time learning is now web based either as a video or power point. The disadvantage would be the skipping of fundamentals, it’s nice to get to the bottom line or what the item is for example learning excel, just in time learning would dig into how to start using the software and options, rather than stepping back and explaining more about its background, what can be achieved in details..etcI do think it is a valid and worthwhile investment into an organization but must be very selective on what it will be used for. An example if the organization wants to bring the employees up to speed on a software...

...challenges faced by the teacher in teaching dance activities as part of the Physical Education National Curriculum, and the impact of the teaching upon the response of pupils in relation to learning. Use literature; autobiography, personal reflection, questionnaire and observation data; and unit materials to support your responses to the following: Some pupils are very good at reading the spaces in team sports, while others read music fluently. Some find mental calculations easy; some are good at constructing 3D objects; some express ideas elegantly through dance (Arthur and Cremin, 2010: 278). It is clear from this quote alone that dance has an important role to play within the development of learning of some pupils. Tinning (2009) believe that the holistic approach incorporated within the teaching and leaning in dance is essential to allow a child’s full, embodied experience, seeking to nurture ‘thinking bodies’ and ‘moving minds’. Dance can provide an ideal vehicle through which children can start to explore and establish confidence in the processes, appreciating, composing and performing which are three ‘key factors in determining teaching and learning programs’ Smith-Autard (1994:1). Schools that incorporate dance programs within their curriculum have found that the educational experiences for both learners and staff members alike are enriched (Meyer, 2010). From these pieces of research numerous benefits of learning through dance can be observed and support the many...
