Aristotle also wrote about tragic flaws and how the same affected the tragic hero. This paper will shed more light upon the life and the philosophical system of one and only Aristotle.

Some attri scarcee this offense to the occasion when an unmarried mother must rid herself of a shameful secret through suffocation, strangulation, and the infliction of wounds or fractures to the skull as the most frequent forms of infanticide.

LAPTOP already has a built-in wireless network adaptor. After reviewing LAB 6.2.2 (Wireless Standard Facts) and amongst the given adaptors I adopt 802.11b/g adapter.There were many other devices also available in this LAB including an access point. I installed the 802.11b/g wireless adapter on the computer. As per the Wireless Standards, Facts 802.11g operates at 2.4 GHz at speeds up to 54 Mbps.

Nonetheless, quantifying the intangible effects of domestic violence on children is proving to be hard as the methodologies are, as yet, still weak. The article, in the year 1999, focused on finding worthy methodologies. Then in 2000, the department of paediatrics of the University of Arizona carried out a research. According to their findings, domestic violence in a childs home was more frequent if the mother had experience physical abuse during childhood (65 %,) than if she had not (48 %), (Bowen, 2000). These statistics can be explained by Levendoskys findings on the parenting in battered women a year later (USA). They open up the women were depressed, had low self esteem, and felt powerless to do anything. In addition to this, an increasing number... There is an obvious need for more research on this topic. umteen aspects that arise from domestic violence in families with small children remain untouched. And while there are many soluti ons now available for members of such families to pursue, there is slim that the children can do to safeguard themselves. They must depend on their parents and/or elder siblings. This leaves no choice but to uproot the problem, so that it never harms the children or other members of the family again. However, little has been done to prevent issues of domestic violence from arising in the first place compared to what has been done to solve the problem in this day and age. while the problem that is occurring IS being addressed, the main focus has been on how to stop it, not to eradicate it from the society completely. Small children form the future generations of this world. They are pure in their thoughts and heart, bear no malice for others, and love unconditionally. However, they are dependent on others. In exposing them to the violence in their families, parents/guardians ensure that the children grow up to be either, traumatized and socially underdeveloped, or to follow their e xamples. They may become the abusers when they grow up, or end up in abusive relationships. Awareness and prevention campaigns must be carried out on a wide scale as well as more research into this issue.

Find a Supreme Court causal agent that deals with theatrical rolealization 1983 violations. Research the case in some depth - Essay ExampleIt provides a remedy for deprivation of rights, such that the plaintiff has to prove personal mesh of the defendant, the defendants nature and quality of available exemption and the factors that will influence the alleged wrong. Defenses for federal, local and state government are qualified immunity in Section 1983 lawsuits. Additionally, prosecutors, judges and security officers have absolute immunity in Section 1983 lawsuits. Bivens claims that there has to be personal liability acting below the Color of Law. This implies that the person has to be subjected to the cause and must prove that they were deprived of their rights (Lippman 473).A Supreme Court case regarding civil remedies is Darling v. terra firma of Florida which took place in the Supreme Court of Florida. This case involved an inmate (Darling) challenging the use of lethal inj ections administered in accordance with sections 27.702 and 945.10, under the Florida Statues (2007). Additionally, the inmate treasured the court to overlook the mentioned sections and mentioned that Capital Collateral Regional Counsel Attorneys could not legally aid large(p) perpetrators like himself in challenging the execution mode under Section 1983.

This case opened the door for the capital defendant immunity as per section 1983 thereby gai ning defense from post-conviction motions.

Is European Union undermining the sovereignty of its individual member Essay

Is European Union undermining the reign of its individual member states - Essay ExampleThe next case that further emphasized upon the sovereignty principle was Case 11/70 Internanationale Handelsgesellschaft GmbH3, whereby it was stated that even where the case was in obedience of fundamental rules that had been established by focal point of the German Constitution, union law would prevail over such national laws and rules. A nonher important case which can be cited in respect of the powers of the courts of the member states to respect the sovereignty of Community Law is Case 106/77 Simmenthal SpA (No.2)4 whereby it was stated that even a court of first instance were under a duty to influence aside alimentation of national law which were incompatible with Community law. Furthermore, there was no need to wait for the national law to be amended in accordance with the EC law and so the national law could be set aside where it was in conflict with a directly applicable or effective provision of the EC law. The duty to respect sovereignty of EC law was extended to administrative agency which was dealing with a national insurance scheme who were said to bring in powers to set aside conflicting provision. (Case C-118/00 Larsy v. INASTI)5. It is important to mention here that even thought by virtue of the powers being given over to courts and administrative agencies the national measure is held to be inapplicable, the Member State is still held to be under a continuing obligation to repeal the conflicting provisions. The Courts in Case 167/73 Commission v. France (French Merchant Seamen)6 for the sake of legal certainty expressly stated the Member States are under an obligation to repeal the anger or contradicting national provision or rule. A step forward in respect of this can be seen from the fact that even if there is not sufficient certainty as to whether a person has a Community law claim, the supremacy doctrine specifies that the national court should set aside the provisions that may prevent anyone from acquiring the full benefit of Community law, even if this is established later in time. The concept can be seen to have been use in Case C-213/89 R v. Secretary of State for Transport, ex parte Factortame Ltd and others7 which was a case on Spanish fishermen who claimed that the UK Act prevented them from fishing in British water and therefore was in contradiction and breach of EC Treaty Articles. The fishermen sought interim relief in this respect however, the problem that arose in this respect was that the courts in UK were not empowered to grant an injunction against the State, thereby suspending an Act of Parliament. The problem in this case was the if interim relief was not provided the Spanish fishermen would have been driven out of business and might have suffered huge losses and therefore a subsequent judgment would not in any way serve their purpose. The ECJ held that the act of Parliament must be set aside and subsequen tly the House of Lords granted an injunction. There has been a strong reaction by the national courts in respect of the concept of direct effect and supremacy which has been developed by the Court of Justice. The important point that needs to be looked into when determine the way how the EC law enters the Member State is dependent on the fact as to whether the member state is monist or a

That condition of a body diagnosed is the happen of AIDS which stands for Acquired insubordinate Deficiency syndrome. Looking back to the history of AIDS we can see that it entered to the United States in about 1969, through a virus infected immigrant from Haiti.

It is apparent that HIV and AIDS is non bonny a health related issue, it is a complex issue having affectionate, economic, cultural and regional dimensions. The United States which is composed of states and other political subunits has different political, economic and social welfare policies which reflects in the dealing of HIV and AIDS also. The communities which are smaller in the sub national jurisdictions are not uniform in their cultural and social behavior. So the spread, the impact and the responses to the impacts have different dimensions. When the statistics show that there are over 1 cardinal infected people in US, the number is similar to that much or more lives in US suffering the blame, grief and depression due to the HIV. The effect of infection in an individual may not bring an immediate change in the order and the nation as in his family, but an accumulation of many such cases slowly affect the society and the nation.It is a shocking fact the number of children who had lived HIV infected since 2007 from the start of this epidemic is nearly 3.8 million.

Firstly, the Railway Transportation hit rock dirty dog and locomotive transportation came to a stand-still. Secondly, fires engulfed a number of cities and people suffered immensely. In fact, many buildings were razed to the ground. Thirdly, the Coinage Act of 1783 brought about a huge tilt in the silver prices. Gold and Silver could no longer be mined. This not only affected the internal economy, but foreign relations as well. Debts of farmers increased and this affected the lower middle class.The Army Cavalry had to fight the Apaches and there was a huge emergency, when they were required to pull the wagons by hand. This had a bulky impact as well. In addition to this, the immense growth of the Railways saw most of the financial resources channelized to the sector, leaving the economy in the dumps. Big banks like Jay Cooke and Co. had invested majorly in the railways and couldnt meet the bonds they were supposed to clear. Besides all of this, the fiscal policies of the then President and the other entrepreneurs made things worse. So much so, that Jay Cooke and Co. went bankrupt. All these causes led to the Economic natural depression of 1873, which not only affected the internal and external affairs of the United States.b. What caused the rise of American industriousness Initially, the American factories were run by using hydel proponent from the fast flowing rivers in Northern America. However, after the Civil War, rail links were laid between Southern and Northern America. Then, industrialisation, which was catching up in the rest of the world, took over the United States. This happened because of steam-powered manufacturing in factories, which succeeded water-powered factories. When the fast-flowing rivers were situated in Northern America, factories were located in the region. However, since st eam-power was universal, the factories began to sprout everywhere, leading to industrialisation. Then, the first cotton industry came up, followed by wool processing. Mills came up everywhere and this initiated the first phase of industrialisation in America. Since Britain and the rest of the developed world were taking to industrialisation, America couldnt stand by far behind and thus, industrialisation was brought about in the U.S, leading to the agricultural sector taking a backseat.c. What impacts did big business have on society, economics, and governance The Age of Industrialisation paved way for the establishment of big industrial houses.

American Literacy in the Age of Information Essay Example for Free

Ameri so-and-so Literacy in the Age of Information EssayThe age of information is demonstrated by the development of technology. The American culture has take and adapted to a freshly practice of transmitting and accepting information. Although the age of information presents an government issue for creative expression and exploration, American literacy is in a transitional period because technology is eternally changing and the unlimited amount of capabilities and influence that technology has upon education and communicating are significant and since technology is still in the process of development it raises concerns about cover acts and ethical issues. While this new era enables the prospect to send and receive information so quickly and efficiently, the new digital age of information requires being educated and knowledgeable about information technology in order to achieve success. Information technology is a term that may be described in many ways but ultimately, info rmation technology (IT) is considered a general term applied to entirely computer- based technologies of human communications (Information Technology, 2006). Literacy of this time may be simply defined as basic competence in reading and writing (Literacy, 2006). The innovation Wide Web offers opportunities of unlimited information that could be accessed from anywhere at any time as long as there is meshing connection. The emancipation to explore and express has two outcomes- to progress society or decline society.Technology has major influences in all trades of the world, but it starts with education. Technological education can provide students with a wealth of information and knowledge, which they can then use in the future to pursue related career or simply as a subject of interest and intrigue (Importance of Technology in Schools, 2009). Creativity and encouragement for young minds to explore all the possibilities produces more productive adults. The introduction of the inte rnet is obviously a worldwide phenomenon. Although this phenomenon provides unlimited access to any genre of information, it may not be true. Educating students on how to productively search for information and how to adjudicate credible material makes all of the difference.Furthermore, American literacy is in the process of transition that is constantly improving education and communication. Each individual has different learning capabilities separating themselves from others. The traditionalistic ways of reading and writing with books and pens and paper are updated. It is now made much more convenient, just at a touch The ability of new(a) technology provides education for students and adults with special needs that a regular education cannot meet. Despite the lack of data showing that technology has a tremendous launch in the classroom teachers have found that using technology may help address students specific learning needs. Charles MacArthur, a special education prof at th e University of Delaware, explains that students who have learning disabilities, including dyslexia, typically need help with transcription processes to produce text, spell, and punctuate correctly.However, any students having trouble with writing fluency can turn a profit from teachers integrating technology into the classroom. And sometimes tried-and-true technology works the best (Allen, 2008). Addressing students special needs are vital because it encourages and guides them to reach their full potential. The world of technology created an opportunity for special needs students to learn and communicate just as well as independent students. Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without communication? The basic method of communication such as telegraphy advanced to snail mail and it is now at the stage of texting and emailing. Technology is used as a tool in various approaches and may be beneficial or harmful.Finally, the freedom of the new age of information is limi t little which raises concerns about privacy laws and ethical issues. With the good, comes the bad. It seems as though there is no way around it. As beneficial as technology is, issues of ethics and privacy concerns Americans who are go against of their personal information. The conveniences of being able to shop, pay bills, create and maintain online accounts online leaves vulnerability to identity thefts and fraud.A USA report suggest that although many Americans discern the potential benefits of being able to interact with presidential term online, similar proportions of the population express concerns about the privacy and security of their personal information submitted through government websites (The New E-Governement equation, 2003). Regulating the internet is going to be a battle. The freedom to explore quality in the truth is a personal right. Criminals and violators will constantly prey on their victims. The resolution lies within the future, but the solution starts wi th each individual protecting their own identity and prevents fraud and theft.The age of information provides an outlet to send and receive information quickly and efficiently. It is important for students to correctly learn how to utilize the web to enhance their creative expression and information technology comprehension. instruction and knowledge is the most powerful took to use when conducting anything. Technology is only progressing and dominating the world. American literacy could not be described as more or less in todays society but rather enhanced and evolved into normalcy.References* Education UpdateLeveraging Technology to mitigate LiteracyLeveraging Technology to Improve Literacy.

Factors Influencing Conflicts in Schools

Factors Influencing Conflicts in SchoolsFACTORS INFLUENCING CONFLICTS IN SCHOOLS.AN EXPLORATORY CASE submit OF PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN TANZANIA.BY BONIPHACE, M. FASILI.INTRODUCTIONOrganizational psychologists push through with the view that there is ,or can be, a genuine battle between a human being and his or her job of work, between the satisfaction of the of necessity of the individual worker, and the privations of the employing giving medication. However, some common ground between them is that people have needs and, consequently, motives for doing things. These needs and motives, therefore, do affect peoples behavior, and their behavior c an be explained,(Chris, A.).There can be contravene between the goals of the organizations and the goals of people working for those organizations. The way to avoid such conflicts in practice is not by oblation bribes and sweeteners to the workers, nor is it by offering them massive welf are programs, but is by changing the very stru cture and goals of the organization to accommodate peoples personal goals,(Chris, A., in Kooontz ,H. and C. ODonnel,1976).While early(a) thinkers suggest that, the best type of organization is one which succeeds best in achieving the accommodation of peoples personal goals by promoting worker participation in decision making, enable workers to fulfill themselves and use a wide variety of talents, focusing by objectives rather than by authority, and finally, good communication and expressive supervision.Schools as organizations are verbalise to be tranced by a combination of factors and have their own organisational culture of change and break awayment,(Mbiti, D.M.,1974).In most cases, teach development implies the focusing of planned change. These changes whitethorn at times be consistent or not consistent with the organizational culture.Unplanned changes are no more than accidents.An attempt to redesign a train organizational culture in the way that leave behind adapt to t he changes within and in the external environment or to effectively achieve the goals sometimes conduct into conflicts, Mosha, H.(1994).This may be caused by shifts in the interest and perceptions of the organization members, fear of change ,self interest, perception of the organization goals strategies by teachers or long for good old days.The aimtime screwment has to overcome these factors if it is to accomplish the planned change.BACKGROUND TO THE choreSchools have tralatitiously been expected to teach children academic skills. The shoal has the responsibility to develop in each child a favourable attitude towards learning.Schools are also places where students interact with one an some other, their teachers and educational administrators. Many educators believe that student behaviour affects academic achievement (Boothe,Bradley,Flick,Keough, and Kirk,1993).Traditional disciplinary practices include various forms of punishment based on the assumption that if negative beh aviours are eliminated, the classroom climate will be conducive for learning,(Canter Canter, 1992). Critics of traditional disciplinary practices believe that the emphasis on punishment thwarts development of student responsibility, leadership, independence and interdependence(Dreyfuss,1990, in Mahduri Pendharkar,1995).Tanzania like any other developing countries is at the forefront to make socio economic transformations to achieve some laid down principles in the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). Some major transformations have been enjoin towards improving the management and performance of educational institutions including more enrolment in both primary and secondary schools, and prioritizing girls education,(TDREG 1989).The period between 2000 t0 2005 have showed an increased school enrolment. This has also impacted on recruitment of more teachers and increased government expenditure in education,(BEST 2005).While improved performance in education is expected, readying for management is frequently neglected. The impact has reflected on frequently and recurrent conflicts in schools manifesting in boycott, riot, drop outs, as well as breakdown of managerial capacities and function in some schools. Whereas, conflict resolution skills for teachers or students in most schools is not emphasized.In most schools in Tanzania there are discipline masters, Patrons and Matrons whose traditional role is to suppress negative behaviours of students. Some of them were appointed on the basis of certain personal attributes rather than the required skills. Most of them lack conflict management skills. As a result students hate them. This is impacted by lack of conflict resolution skills in schools. The emphasis is on rigid rules and discipline.Lyons and Hathering (1992) pointed out that, organization health is characterized by high levels of trust, low conflict and friction, respect for differences, personal freedom and individual autonomy in patterns of supervision a nd control. Conflict in schools need to be properly managed in order to create a healthy organizational climate that is so important for effective learning and performance of responsibilities. Mosha, H.J.(1994) dysphoric that, some conflicts in higher learning institutions occur due to lack of proper diagnosis leading to crisis. Conflicts in schools are either not soundless or not managed properly.Burton (1969) suggested for conflict management which include deterrence strategies aimed at avoiding escalation of conflict while maintaining control without giving way. Burton further suggested that if conflict builds towards crisis successful management should be able to turn the conflicting forces towards a constructive rather than a destructive direction.However, teachers training programs in Tanzania have not provided for greater flexibility for teachers to manage conflicts other than becoming disciplinarians.Mismanagement of conflicts in schools has resulted into increased govern ment intervention leading to closure of schools and increased expenditure. Meanwhile, effective teaching and learning programs are always impaired leading to further crisis in schools and the government in general. The situation also creates burn out to some teachers to change their career.STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMThe purpose of this study is to investigate on the factors influencing conflicts in schools in Tanzania. Several conflicts have been reported to have devastating impacts. There are frequently and repeated conflicts in most schools in Tanzania. The scientific explanation about the nature of these conflicts is not well established neither documented. It has also been reported that those conflicts involve school administrators and teachers, teachers and students, students and the school administration, as well as students themselves. At some levels conflicts escalate to involve the external school environment.The impacts of these conflicts have resulted into loss of lives of s ome students, demolished school buildings, riots, boycott and increased hostilities in the workplace, lack of conducive teaching learning environment, dismissal and suspension of students, administrators and teachers.This study therefore, is an attempt to investigate on the nature of conflicts in schools, and possibly come up with the real explanation as to why they frequently occur, as well to establish approaches that can be applied to grant the situation.OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY(a). To identify the nature of conflicts in public secondary schools in Tanzania.(b). To establish means to minimize conflicts in schools.(c). To contribute and extend knowledge and skills in conflict management for schools teachers and administrators.(d). To influence the government policy in education, conflict management is an integral part of the contemporary school environment.RESEARCH QUESTIONS/HYPOTHESESSIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDYThis study is intended to be broad spectrum in nature. It is expected to come up with possible explanation of the sources of conflicts in schools as learning and work places in Tanzania. It will also establish possible preventive conflict management approaches that are so essential and could be applied in resolving conflicts which bone in the school environment.Whereas, the study is expected to contribute the generation of new insights, knowledge and skills in management in general, and form a baseline for school administrators, managers, teachers and students to reflect on during situations of problems leading to conflicts. This study is perhaps the pioneer one as far as conflict management in schools is concerned. It is expected to influence the policy of the government. Conflicts in the contemporary school environment are becoming part and parcel of the total education system. Finally, the study will impact on other broader dimensions of the social systems in Tanzania.LITERATURE REVIEWThis section reviews and examines briefly some literature on rele vant scholarly work.Mosha, H.J.(1994) describes conflict as an synergetic opposing behavior between two or more people, organizations or systems over incompatible goals, interests, scarce resources, values, belief system, power and prestige, nature of relationship as well as performance. He further states that, conflicts behaviours may range from intellectual jostling or malicious gossip all the way to use of visible force to cause destruction of property or physical injury.Mosha,(1994) further suggests that conflicts are integral part of any social system they need to be properly managed in order to create a healthy organizational climate that is so important for effective performance of responsibilities.Whereas, Lyons and Hatherly, (1992) comment on organizational health that is the state in institutions characterized by generally high levels of trust, low conflict and individual autonomy in patterns of supervision and control. Lyons and Hatherly further insist that in health or ganizations relationships are honest, there is high degree of trust, poor performance is confronted and joint solutions sought. People feel free to signal problems and participate in finding solutions.Murphy and Saal(1990) in Mosha,(1994) stated that conflict management is a process of becoming aware of actual or potential conflict, diagnosing its nature and background signal and employing appropriate methodology to diffuse the emotional energy involved and enable disputing parties to understand and resolve their differences. While, Burton(1969) adds on conflict management that include deterrence strategies aimed at avoiding escalation of conflict while maintaining control without giving way.According to Gray and Starke(1990) traditionalists conceived conflict as being intrinsically bad. Under this school of thought members of the organization who caused the conflict were regarded as emotionally disturbed, otherwise they should not have caused the conflict. Thus, to eliminate the conflict and thereby solve the problem it was necessary to fire or get psychiatrical help for the responsible employees (Jandt and Gillettee,1985).The modern theorists according to (Gray and Starke,1990) in Mosha,(1994) argue that organizational conflict is neither good nor bad per se, and that it is inevitable. Conflict is inevitable and not ineluctably harmful. Indeed, they continue to argue that you can not have an organization, community or society that is free from conflict.However, Mosha, H.J.(1979169) argues that competence should be the major criterion for participation as educational problems have ramifications that require attention and specialized assistance is useful in mobilizing needed knowledge and judgment.At another scale of looking at leadership styles, Bennis,W.G.,(1989) was of the view that the challenges confronting organizational leaders are daunting even to the most intrepid. Bennis further comments that organizational restructuring has bulldozed away much w orker morale and loyalty, on with many levels of management and thousands of jobs. The loosened bonds between workers and organizations have increased worker disaffection and raised turnover.Bennis, W.G.(1989) further commented on achieving styles, cultures, values, rewards and discontinuities that organizations have their special achieving styles, styles that their cultures, consciously or unconsciously inculcate in their members. That is, organizations characteristically reward certain kinds of achieving behavior and punish or ignore other kinds.Organizational culture both blow and control its members. It comforts them by generating a familiar context for organizational life and offering membership to those who conform. At the same time, organizational culture controls members by constricting the range of behaviours and attitudes that are valued and rewarded.Furthermore, Max Weber(1864-1920) examined the organization and came up with the opinion that the term organization meant the ordering of social relationships, the maintenance of which certain individuals took upon themselves as a special task. Weber, further maintains that the presence of a leader and an administrative staff was a characteristic of an organization, which in fact was them who preserved the organization. Hence, basic to Webers ideas was the theory that human behavior is regulated by rules. The existence of a distinct set of rules was implicit in the concept of organization.On management, Henry Fayol (1916) stated that to manage is to forecast and plan to organize, to command and to co-ordinate and to control. While G.A. Cole(1994) proposed a working definition for strategic management as a process directed by top management to determine the fundamental aims or goals of the organization and ensure a range of decisions which will allow for the achievement of those aims or goals in the long-run whilst providing for adaptive responses in the short term.

Whereas, Ekval, G.(1993) cautioned that where antagonistic groups, divisions and camps exist the work climate is bound to be poor.
