Why not India: India still being a developing nation has cons while coming to the education sector. The university infrastructure is not on par that with the global institutions. . There is a drastic change in the quality of education in top most educational institutions but it’s quite tough to get admission in those institutions because of reservation system and entrance exam like GATE and CAT etc. Why Australia for further study? With my research, I learnt that the countries of UK, USA, Canada and Australia and most popular among Indian students. I started my research with UK. In UK I found some universities which offer this course. But, I was a little disappointed to know that master’s degrees in UK are of 1 year in duration. It is difficult to find jobs in India on the basis of a 1 year as Jobs in India needs the applicant to have a master’s degree that is of 2 years in duration. Hence, I dropped the plan for UK. In Canada, some universities are offering Graduate certificate courses in IT. But, I was looking for a proper 2 year master’s degree and did not want to do diploma courses.

Cynthia was born on October 28, 1998: she has one older brother, afterwards a younger brother, and then a sister came along. One may say the little girl was lucky to be born to two parents who loved her very much to the point she was spoiled with endless gifts. The little girl was a gift from the heavens, her parents thought since she inherited their traits and did not have the typical Mexican, India looks. She had smooth porcelain white skin with pink blush on her cheeks, she had the most beautiful thickest and darkest hair, her eyes were big and round they were chocolate brown. Her eyelashes were naturally curly and black. Even the name place on her, Cynthia, meant the goddess of the moon, it was as though the name was placed on her by faith. One may say this little girl was a beautiful, gorgeous doll because she was treated like one. Her parents dressed her with the most beautiful dresses and at a young age she learned how to walk in heels. Everyone would stop and stare at this l ittle girl to compliment her beauty, she even received modeling jobs.

Important Role of Women in Homers Odyssey Essay examples

For the Greeks, Homers Odyssey was much more than just an entertaining tale of gods, monsters, and men, it served as cultural paradigm from which every important role and relationship could be defined. This book, much more so than its counter part The Iliad, gives an eclectic view of the Acheans peacetime civilization. Through Odyssey, we gain an understanding of what is proper or improper in relationships between father and son, god and mortal, servant and master, guest and host, and--importantly--man and woman. Women play a vital role in the movement of this narrative. Unlike in The Iliad, where they are chiefly prizes to be won, bereft of identity, the women of Odyssey are unique in their personality, intentions, and†¦show more content†¦Some have argued that one of the principal motivation behind the Greeks disparaging attitude towards their women stemmed from fear of female sexual power. In both The Odyssey and other myths, we hear of men imprisoned by their passio ns for nymphs. For instance, the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite (5) reports that Anchises frets after sleeping with Aphrodite for no man retains his full strength who sleeps with an immortal goddess (Morford 140). Greeks feared the mental side effects of sexual domination as much as the physical effects. The Odysseys nymphs Calypso and Circe epitomize this fear of mental domination. Though Odysseus longs for home, he finds it hard to move from the embrace of either of these two nymphs. His men have to force him off Aeaea, where he has been staying with the powerful Circe. Similarly, Homer describes Odysseus on Ogygia as sitting, still, weeping, his eyes never dry, his sweet life flowing away with the tears he wept for his foiled journey home (Fagles 5:166). This scene shows the Son of Laertes utterly miserable, yet unable to tear himself away from carnal delight. The very same man who dragged his men away from the land of the Lotus-Eaters seems to prove that women are his drug of choice.

The Arctic Circle Lies At The Northernmost Point Of The Earth

Greenland and Finland The Arctic Circle lies at the northernmost point of the Earth. Several countries have areas that are within the Arctic Circle. Those countries are Canada, United States of America, Russia, Greenland, Finland, Norway, Iceland, and Sweden. For decades this cold and snowy part of the word was a mystery to those outside of it. Within the last decade many television reality shows have brought the reality of this cold region of the world into clear focus for those of us that have never experienced it. Television shows such as â€Å"Deadliest Catch†, â€Å"Ice Road Truckers†, etc. Even though many of these countries share many similarities they also can be starkly different. Two countries within the Arctic Circle that†¦show more content†¦Greenland is comprised of 836,330 square miles of surface area. This is three times the size of Texas (Clark, 1943). The northwestern section of Finland is located on the Scandinavian Peninsula, while the reminder of the co untry lies in Europe. Finland only has a surface area of 130,559 square miles (â€Å"Finland in facts, 2016†). The area of Greenland is nearly six and a half times greater than that of Finland. With Greenland being three times the state of Texas, comparatively Kentucky is six and a half times smaller than Texas. The vastness of Greenland dwarfs the land mass of Finland. Another noteworthy lithospheric difference between the two countries lies in the tectonic differences. Greenland is located on a single tectonic plate with no fault lines within its borders. Therefore, Greenland has no volcanic activity whatsoever. Moreover, there is no evidence that it has had volcanic activity in millions of years. With this low amount of volcanic activity, Greenland possesses some of the most ancient rocks on the planet. These rocks have been left undisturbed, because of the lack of volcanic activity. With no fault lines Greenland should not be effected by earthquakes, however glacial earthquakes are quite powerful. These glacial earthquakes have been attributed to the effects of global warming on the glacial ice that sits atop the majority of Greenland’s surface. With the calving of the ice creating a gigaton, or a

Established For The Assessment Of Physical â€Myassignmenthelp.Com

Question: Discuss About The Established For The Assessment Of Physical? Answer: Introduction: Different established theories are useful for the evaluation of growth and development of children. These theories are established for the assessment of physical, cognitive and social development of children. Different milestones in the development of children can be studied by using these theories. Physical development has prominent role in the cognitive and social development of children. Peers, parents and community members can play significant role in the development of children. According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, children experiences four stages of mental development. This theory states that, children acquire knowledge as well understands nature of the intelligence. Three-year-old children like Jack, are considered as preoperational stage. Children start thinking in symbolical manner and acquire knowledge of using words and pictures which can be used to represent objects. These children pretend to be egocentric and try to look at the things from others perspective. Once these children feel improvement in their language, they tend to be more tangible in their thinking. In this preoperational stage, there would be emergence of language and thinking in children of Jack age. Even though, children seem pretending at this age, they are very concrete about the things around them. There would not be much development of logic and understanding of others. These children never remain constant with particular aspect. These children start learning and memorising. These childrens world is mostly self-centred. These children develop social interaction skills by playing and collaborating with children of the same age (Semmar and Al-Thani, 2015). There is development of increase in attention span, reading ability and performing routine tasks. There is possibility of development of negative aspects in these children like lying, reverting to elders and bullying. These children start frequently asking questions, can count upto 10, can draw specific pictures, can dress and undress doll and can talk about the particular incidence. Most of the time, these children pronounce correctly. These children have large vocabulary which they use to speak and sing. These children can modify their speech to communicate with the younger children. It would be difficult for these children to understand idea of constancy. This can be illustrated by example of lump of clay. Children prefer to choose flat pancake piece of clay instead of compact ball of cl ay, even though both are of exactly same size. Children prefer flat piece because it looks larger. These children can apply reversible mental thinking. This can be illustrated by the example of red pillow. In this experiment large, red pillow should be hidden in large room and miniature red pillow in the miniature replica of room. Children should be shown with the miniature red pillow. Children can locate exact location of the large red pillow. Children of this age develop magical thinking. Children start expecting gifts through telephone, while they are talking to parents over the telephone (Loureno, 2016). According to Eriksons social development theory, children of three years age like Jack, feel autonomy or shame. Well parented children of this age, are sure of themselves, feel elated and proud of themselves. Children of this age develop significant relationship with the parents and family members. These children develop will and purpose. These children start judging the things and able to decide whether thing is okay or not to them. These children get trained for toileting and clothing themselves from their parents. These children observe their peers and start using tools from them and making arts. These children get control over motor abilities and start exploring surroundings and people around them. Though parents provide them with security, children try to break security and explore their will. These children constantly learn from their parents and parents encouragement help these children to develop short-term autonomy. Parents should make sure that children are not exploring th e things which are dangerous to their health. These children develop interests in plants and animals. Development of courage and independence from the parents would be helpful in developing social connect for children of Jacks age. These children start taking initiative to achieve goals and take leadership role among their peers. Goal achieving behaviour may develop into the negative attitude in the children which include aggressiveness, ruthlessness and over assertiveness to parents. These children also develop overenthusiastic attitude which might interfere with parents plans. These children try to copy parents and other adults. These children try playing with toy phones and miniature cars (Gilleard and Higgs, 2016). Muscle control, balance and coordination in the preschool children like Jack would be helpful in learning skills like managing and taking control of their own bodies. Based on their physical strength, these children learn what their bodies can do and cant do. Coordination and balance would be helpful in the development of cognitive skills like buttoning or using sliverware. Physical and motor strength would be helpful in the development of cognitive skills like holding pencil and writing, brushing teeth and hair. Physical development can also be helpful in proper functioning of the brain. It can be exemplified by the example of kicking the ball. Physical strength of the leg is necessary for kicking the ball. At the same time, visual and auditory function of the brain should be optimum to kick the ball either hard or soft (Chaddock-Heyman et al., 2014; Carson et al., 2016). Parents should engage themselves in proper cognitive development of the children by making meaningful interactions which would be helpful in the creating connections with the environment and understanding the way in which things are happening. Parents should also teach children how, things should be done, how to behave with others and how to handle others emotions. All these activities would be helpful in improving existing skills and developing new skills. For proper social and cognitive development of children, parents should work with full potential of the children. Also, parents should be respectful and sensitive to the children. These children exhibit social involvement by reacting to others emotions. Even though, these children dont understand anything, they start crying when others cry and start laughing when others laugh. These children start linking these expressions, initially to feelings and then to words. Parents can influence cognitive development of children through fam ily-level environmental pathway and genetic pathway. Psychological aspects of the parent and stress level also have implication in the social and cognitive development of the children. Warm, accepting and helpful nature of the parents can improve social and cognitive development of children. Neglectful parents keep children away, hence it would affect development of children. Authoritarian and permissive parenting styles are associated with the less development of the children (Fraser et al., 2013; Byford et al., 2012). There may be less social interaction in case of Jack. It is evident from his inability to speak. Children of his age, usually learn to speak by talking to other peers and parents. Even though other children are talking, Jack is not speaking fluently because he is not socially involved with other children. Less social interaction of Jack is also evident from his inability of toileting. Parents make aware children about toileting. This can be achieved by social interaction of the children with their parents. Behavioural genetic research should be carried out in children to completely understand cognitive and social development. To achieve, social and cognitive development in the children, parents behaviour should be of parents characteristics and not child characteristic. In conclusion, development of children of Jack age, should be studied with respect to established theories which corresponds to their age. Physical development of this age group children should be correlated with the cognitive development. Parents and peers can play significant role in the social and cognitive development of the children. References: Byford, M., Kuh, D., and Richards, M. (2012).

Things fall Apart and Okonkwo free essay sample

Both the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, and its main character Okonkwo closely adhere to the definitions of a classic Greek tragedy and a typical tragic hero. First of all, Okonkwo is a tragic hero by the Greek definition. While Okonkwo wasn’t born to a nobleman or king (as the definition of a tragic hero states), he was a man of high status and respect in his community, as Obierika stated near the end of the book. â€Å"That man was one of the greatest men in Umuofia. † (Achebe 208). Second, the novel follows the format of a Greek tragedy by presenting Okonkwo as a mixed character. He was a mixed character in that he was neither thoroughly good nor thoroughly bad. His good side was shown in the novel at times, like when it was shown that he wanted Nwoye to be manly only because â€Å"He wanted him to be a prosperous man. † (53). However, at other times, he was very misguided and wrong, which led him to make large mistakes with very negative repercussions. One example would be when Okonkwo’s youngest wife, Ojiugo had forgotten to make his lunch. â€Å"And when she returned he beat her very heavily. In his anger he had forgotten that it was the week of peace. † (29). This violent and misguided mistake shows the side of Okonkwo that we may not think of as the perfect hero, but this violent and angry side of him balances with the side that wants to see Nwoye succeed, which makes him a mixed character. The next component of both a tragic hero and the tragic hero’s story that Things Fall Apart adheres to is the tragic fall. Okonkwo’s tragic fall was killing Ikemefuna, his adopted son. This event was his tragic fall because it led to other events in his life such as killing the son of Ogbuefi Ezeudu (the reversal), and his eventual exile. Okonkwo’s friend Obierika even foreshadowed the significance and imminent downfall that would come of his killing of Ikemefuna when he told him that â€Å"What you have done will not please the earth. It is the kind of action for which the goddess wipes out whole families. † (67). So, because he killed his own adopted son, it was only fitting that the reversal of both Okonkwo and the story that follows him would be the fallout from accidentally killing another man’s son. This directly led to his seven-year exile from Umuofia. This could very easily be interpreted as the earth goddess’s punishment that Obierika spoke of. Okonkwo’s accidental killing of Ogbuefi Ezeudu’s son was the reversal of this story because as the definition of a reversal states, it did â€Å"catapult him from the heights of happiness to the depths of misery. † As stated by Achebe when Okonkwo arrived in Mbanta, â€Å"His life had been ruled by a great passion to become one of the lords of the clan. That had been his life-spring. And he had all but achieved it. Then everything had been broken. He had been cast out of his clan like a fish onto a dry, sandy beach, panting. † (131). A classic Greek tragedy typically has a main character with a tragic flaw. Things Fall Apart follows this classic formula in that Okonkwo’s tragic flaw was his persistent and lifelong fear of being considered a failure like his father. â€Å"But his whole life was dominated by fear, the fear of failure and of weakness. . . It was not external but lay deep within himself, lest he should be found to resemble his father. † (13). His flaw lived on throughout his entire life and the anger and fear of resembling his father eventually led to his own death. The next component of this story that makes Okonkwo a tragic hero is his hubris. Okonkwo’s hubris is that he believes that everything he does is right, and if someone does something he wouldn’t, it is considered wrong and weak. He is also arrogant and dismissive of others, especially those who contradict him. For example, â€Å"a man had contradicted him at a kindred meeting which they held to discuss the ancestral feast. Without looking at the man Okonkwo had said: ‘This meeting is for men. ’ The man who had contradicted him had no titles. That was why he had called him a woman. Okonkwo knew how to kill a man’s spirit. † (26). His dismissiveness towards this man is just one example of his hubris. The next part of a Greek tragedy, is the tragic hero’s moment of recognition of â€Å"the truth of his situation and/or of his identity. † Okonkwo’s moment of recognition came when he realized that his people weren’t going to fight back against the white men and their religion. The arrival of these foreigners and their strange religion had brought the death of his clan and way of life with them. â€Å"Okonkwo was deeply grieved. And it was not just a personal grief. He mourned for the clan, which he saw breaking up and falling apart, and he mourned for the warlike men of Umuofia, who had so unaccountably become soft like women. † (183). At this point in the story of Okonkwo, he realizes the grim truth about the fate of his culture and people. Finally, Things Fall Apart, the story of Okonkwo, adheres to the model of a classic Greek tragedy in that it has a final katharsis, or â€Å"tragic representation of suffering and defeat that leaves an audience feeling, not depressed, but relieved and even elevated,† (Greek tragedy and tragic hero explanation sheet). Things Fall Apart’s katharsis, or emotional relief came when Okonkwo killed himself. Although such an event may seem like something that would make the reader feel defeated and depressed, it was through his suicide that Okonkwo made one final protest or stand against the white man. His suicide also allowed him to escape his fate of being killed by the British, which shows us that although the destruction of the Ibo culture and way of life was imminent, there was still some spirit, some fight to retain their ways left among the defeated Ibo people. Things Fall Apart and it’s main character Okonkwo adhere to the definition of a Greek tragedy and tragic hero in that Okonkwo is a mixed character with a tragic flaw and hubris who experiences a tragic fall and reversal in his life, that leads to a moment of recognition and eventually, katharsis.
