Title: Social and Family Life in the Late17th & Early 18th Centuries | British Literature Wiki Headings: Social and Family Life in the Late17th & Early 18th Centuries Social and Family Life in the Late17th & Early 18th Centuries Introduction Family Life Role of Women and Men Social Life London and the Job Market Entertainment Sports Media References Content: Other than widows, not many women owned land, and many daughters certainly did not receive any–so they did not carry an estate with them upon marriage. Also, it was important for families to maintain social status, which meant a daughter was never married to someone of lower standing. Mothers and fathers spent much time searching for the the best possible spouse for their child, in order to benefit the family. As a result, families typically placed a dowry on their daughter, which consisted of a large sum of money. These marriage negotiations were some of the most demanding strains on a mother and father due to a family’s heritage and legacy being at stake. Then came along another problem: The idea of individualism, reason, and romantic sensibility began growing rapidly in the early part of the century leading to daughters wanting to choose their own husbands. For poor families, not nearly as much was at stake when marrying, thus relieving pressure. It was impossible to transfer poverty to one another or to lose any kind of societal status as a result of a marriage, so men and women were free to choose who they wanted. Family Life After Marriage Many issues and concerns were brought up during the process of arranged marriages.

Title: Mexican Americans Continued Their Fight for Freedom After WWII | American Ethnics and World War II Headings: Mexican Americans Continued Their Fight for Freedom After WWII Mexican Americans Continued Their Fight for Freedom After WWII Content: These Mexican Americans were commonly known as, ‘zoot-suiters’. From the national coverage of these riots, a Mexican American political activism rose up that fought for Mexican American civil rights. This movement, also known as the Chicano movement, aimed to help the Mexican Americans to ensure their civil rights. The Zoot Suit Riots in 1943 inspired the advocacy for Mexican American civil rights allowing its focus to change from Mexican nationalists living in the United States, to United States citizens of Mexican ethnic backgrounds. Mexican Americans had a variety of reasons for coming to the United States. In 1910, there was a Civil War in Mexico, ignited from a dictatorship. The war in Mexico put their lives and their families’ lives at risk. The continued rise and fall of powers left the Mexicans with little options. With little choices, the Mexicans felt forced to immigrate to the United States to protect themselves and their families from violence in their native homeland. A few years later in 1914, the United States entered WWI.

With little choices, the Mexicans felt forced to immigrate to the United States to protect themselves and their families from violence in their native homeland. A few years later in 1914, the United States entered WWI. This is important because with the United States at war, a high demand for labor was required to support the men and women involved in the war. The war created many jobs and many forms of labor. Relatively new to the United States, the Mexicans pounced on the opportunities to work. With the rising number of Mexicans coming to the United States in the 1920s after the war, many Mexicans living in the United States were left jobless and unemployed. The Mexicans who immigrated to the United States obtained jobs due to the high demand for supplies in the war, but when the war ended, they were let go.

Confidence Intervals When we use a sample group to gain insight into an entire population – whether we’re talking people or a product built in a factory – we risk the sample group not completely reflecting the whole population. Therefore, we need confidence intervals. Further, we use confidence intervals to calculate a degree of certainty that the sample group accurately represents the entire population from which they were drawn. Another way of thinking of it is that if you drew the same sized sample group hundreds of times and performed the same measurements, a certain percentage of confidence intervals in those sample groups will contain the population mean. A confidence interval is a range of values. So, you can have a percentage of certainty that the mean of the population lies within that range in any given sample from that population. YouTube Confidence Interval vs Confidence Level A confidence interval is a range of values that probably contain the population mean. However, a confidence level is a percentage of certainty that in any given sample, that confidence interval will contain the population mean. Confidence Interval vs Prediction Interval Prediction intervals are used to calculate the next probable data point.

Estimating Population Mean and Standard Deviation In most cases, we won’t know the mean and standard deviation for an entire population. However, we can calculate the mean and standard deviation for each of our samples. So we can use the sample figures to estimate those of the whole population. This is what we call a point estimate.

Margin of error = 1/√n Where n= sample size Margin of error is the product of critical value and the standard error in the confidence interval. If margin of error increases, confidence level increases. Similarly, margin of error decreases, confidence level also decreases. For example, to estimate confidence interval, we may use X̅±E E is the margin of error Confidence interval = X̅±Zα/2*σ/√n Where σ= population standard deviation Zα/2= normal distribution value for the desired confidence level n= sample size X̅= sample mean Z Scores A Z score is the number of standard deviations between a data point and its mean. Thus, you can use a Z-score table to find the corresponding Z-score for common confidence levels, or calculate the α value using this formula:

The field of educational psychology has long been interested in understanding why racially different, non-White children perform differently in school, with an emphasis on academic underachievement. The deficit model has been important in the evolution of thinking about this important social issue. Hence, the deficit model asserts that racial/ethnic minority groups do not achieve as well as their White majority peers in school and life because their family culture is dysfunctional and lacking important characteristics compared to the White American culture.

EC coupling requires a highly specialized membranous structure, the triad, composed of a central T-tubule surrounded by two terminal cisternae from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. While several proteins located on these structures have been identified, mechanisms governing T-tubule biogenesis and triad formation remain largely unknown. Here, we provide a description of triad structure and plasticity and review the role of proteins that have been linked to T-tubule biogenesis and triad formation and/or maintenance specifically in skeletal muscle: caveolin 3, amphiphysin 2, dysferlin, mitsugumins, junctophilins, myotubularin, ryanodine receptor, and dihydhropyridine Receptor. The importance of these proteins in triad biogenesis and subsequently in muscle contraction is sustained by studies on animal models and by the direct implication of most of these proteins in human myopathies. Introduction To trigger skeletal muscle contraction, the action potential generated by motor neurons is transmitted through motor nerves to muscle cells. The excitation-contraction (EC) coupling, i.e. signal transmission from the sarcolemma to the actin/myosin apparatus, is mediated by a second messenger, calcium ions.

Introduction To trigger skeletal muscle contraction, the action potential generated by motor neurons is transmitted through motor nerves to muscle cells. The excitation-contraction (EC) coupling, i.e. signal transmission from the sarcolemma to the actin/myosin apparatus, is mediated by a second messenger, calcium ions. Indeed, muscle fibers contain large internal calcium stores with the ability to quickly release and retrieve calcium (Figure 1, right panel). For a fast and fine-tuning of muscle contraction, these stores are maintained under the control of the action potential, which ensures calcium release simultaneously within the whole interior of the muscle fiber. As myofibers are 50-100 μm in diameter and several millimeters to centimeters long, a highly specialized structure named the triad is necessary to overcome spatial limits in using calcium as secondary messenger, and connect the sarcolemma with the calcium stores. The sarcolemma forms regular invaginations which insert between myofibrils, termed transverse tubules (T-tubules). In skeletal muscle, T-tubules tightly associate with the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), in a region called terminal cisternae/junctional SR.

Note the close proximity of T-tubules and terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (adapted from [ 104 ]; © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc.). Full size image A large set of specialized proteins takes part in EC coupling and includes: i) the Dihydhropyridine Receptor (DHPR), a voltage gated calcium channel located on T-tubule membranes [ 1, 2 ], ii) the Ryanodine Receptor (RyR1), a calcium release channel that is localized on the junctional face of SR and appears as "feet" when observed by electron microscopy (Figure 1, left panel) [ 3 ], iii) calcium buffering proteins such as calsequestrin in the lumen of the SR [ 4 ], iv) calcium channel regulators such as calmodulin, FKBP12 and many others [ 5, 6 ], v) Sarco-Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase pumps (SERCA), which is indirectly involved in EC coupling via its action in the rapid removal of the cytosolic calcium after fiber shortening to replenish the calcium stores [ 7 ]. Noteworthy, the physical coupling between RyR1 and DHPR occurs specifically in skeletal but not in cardiac muscles and allows the transmission of the signal within 2 ms in skeletal muscles compared to 100 ms in cardiac muscles [ 8 ].

Full size image A large set of specialized proteins takes part in EC coupling and includes: i) the Dihydhropyridine Receptor (DHPR), a voltage gated calcium channel located on T-tubule membranes [ 1, 2 ], ii) the Ryanodine Receptor (RyR1), a calcium release channel that is localized on the junctional face of SR and appears as "feet" when observed by electron microscopy (Figure 1, left panel) [ 3 ], iii) calcium buffering proteins such as calsequestrin in the lumen of the SR [ 4 ], iv) calcium channel regulators such as calmodulin, FKBP12 and many others [ 5, 6 ], v) Sarco-Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase pumps (SERCA), which is indirectly involved in EC coupling via its action in the rapid removal of the cytosolic calcium after fiber shortening to replenish the calcium stores [ 7 ]. Noteworthy, the physical coupling between RyR1 and DHPR occurs specifically in skeletal but not in cardiac muscles and allows the transmission of the signal within 2 ms in skeletal muscles compared to 100 ms in cardiac muscles [ 8 ]. In cardiac myofiber, RyR2-mediated calcium release is induced by extracellular calcium entry via DHPR in a mechanism called calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) [ 8 ]. Moreover, in fibers of small diameter, such as the body muscles of Amphioxus, peripheral couplings between SR and the plasmalemma have similar function to triads. In addition, all differentiating muscle fibers pass through a stage where T-tubules are not present and EC coupling is mediated by such peripheral couplings. In this review, we will focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying T-tubules biogenesis and triad formation specifically in skeletal muscle. Triad defects linked to human monogenic diseases will also be highlighted.

T-tubule plasticity The T-tubule membrane possesses a high plasticity which provides the stability required during muscle contraction, and facilitates repair upon damage. In addition to its principal function in EC coupling, the plasticity of T-tubules confers to this system non-related EC functions. It has been reported that the treatment of isolated muscle fibers with glycerol efflux-influx or with other low molecular weight nonelectrolytes (such as sugars) physically affects T-tubules morphology. Such osmotic shock can convert the T-tubule network into many membrane-bound vacuoles, which can either remain interconnected by normal T-tubules, or become separated (Figure 2) [ 9, 10 ]. Surprisingly, this vacuolation which results in 5-15 fold increase in the relative volume of T-tubule system is reversed spontaneously [ 11, 12 ].

Morphological aspects of triad biogenesis Sarcoplasmic reticulum The SR represents the main calcium store in striated muscle. It is highly specialized to ensure the simultaneous release of intracellular calcium in the entire cytosol of the muscle cell. The first step of SR biogenesis starts by the formation of tubular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (30-60 nm in diameter) adjacent to the myofibril [ 14 ]. Subsequently, these tubular branches of ER develop into reticular structures surrounding the myofibrils [ 15 ]. Finally, the newly formed SR engages couplings at the A-I interface with the T-tubule originating from the sarcolemma.

The chronology of SR biogenesis was well investigated using electron microscopy (EM) during muscle differentiation in mouse [ 17 ]. These observations were also supported by studies employing chicken embryo [ 18 ]. In mouse, the SR is detected from as early as embryonic day 14 (E14) with punctate RyR clusters that are located in the periphery of the myofiber [ 17 ]. At this stage, the content of the feet (RyR) in the junctional SR is poor, and some SR elements without any feet are observed.

This association results in a distinct banding pattern of a discrete SR network at the I-band with thin longitudinal connecting SR elements [ 17 ]. During the next days (E17 and E18), junctional SR acquires a predominant transverse distribution taking their final position by forming triad rows at each side of the Z-line (two SR sacs connecting one T-tubule in each triad) [ 17 ]. During the maturation of SR membranes, the frequency of feet increases, in particular, between E16 and E18, when all junctions become filled by feet. The width of the junctional gap is between 9 and 12 nm.

Title: The Presidential Curse and the Election of 2020 | Skeptical Inquirer Headings: The Presidential Curse and the Election of 2020 The Presidential Curse and the Election of 2020 Timothy Redmond References Timothy Redmond Content: Despite the fact that he was elected in 2000, he survived several assassination attempts and even a brief bout of unconsciousness after choking on a pretzel. As of this writing, Mr. Bush remains alive and well. President Reagan waves from the White House after his return from the hospital. Reagan wore a bullet-resistant vest under his red sweater. So too, however, is belief in the Curse of the Prophet. This conviction is, in part, sustained by four common logical fallacies: ( 1) confusing correlation with causation, (2) the lottery fallacy, (3) cherry picking, and (4) moving the goalposts. Confusing correlation with causation is a fallacy that assumes cause and effect for two variables simply because they occur together (Novella et al. 2018). For instance, proponents of the Curse of the Prophet believe that because being elected president in twenty-year intervals from 1840–1960 was correlated with dying while in office, something about the former must have caused the latter.

Title: What’s your carbon footprint and where does it come from? Headings: What’s your carbon footprint and where does it come from? Posted on 29 April 2014 by Marcin Popkiewicz Comments Content: We have to walk the talk. We have a natural tendency for forgetting the inconvenient. Constantly placing "carbon footprint issue" high on our agenda list we embed it and solidify, educate ourselves and change the way we view the world and our priorities. It also influences our decisions not only in our personal lives but also in our workplaces. Changing personal attitude helps change the public attitude. Striving for the low-carbon world ourselves we influence our families, friends and other people we meet. This way we don't push the climate towards the tipping point but the society's response to the crisis. Spending your money you influence what will expand and what will contract: support public transport, production of energy efficient appliances and other low-carbon solutions, not companies churning out business-as-usual products. Change in the attitudes means a cultural shift, leading to the change in public policies.

And they often break. Especially delicate objects like cups and plates. In the court room, evidence can be used to establish guilt or innocence of a crime or accusation. It is a body of information that tells us whether someone had a motive, opportunity, the ability to commit a crime. And, even though no one deciding a persons fate in the courtroom was present at the event, there can be such a body of evidence that there isn’t a shadow of a doubt that the person is guilty. But all it takes is one piece of evidence to destroy an entire case. One camera shot from a street cam hundreds of miles away from where the crime took place means that the person wasn’t there and couldn’t have committed the crime. The result of something like this is an inference, that is a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning. We can’t see gravity.

Ask Question Asked 3 years, 3 months ago Active 3 years, 3 months ago Viewed 34k times 100 During debates about gun control, I have seen gun advocates quote a statistic that the UK homicide rate increased in 1996 following a ban on handguns. Furthermore, the claim usually goes on to suggest that what bought violent crime back down to current, historically low, levels was the introduction of 20,000 police. The inference we are supposed to draw from this is that the answer to gun crime is more police, not less guns. Here's an example of the argument in action: The UK enacted its handgun ban in 1996. From 1990 until the ban was enacted, the homicide rate fluctuated between 10.9 and 13 homicides per million. After the ban was enacted, homicides trended up until they reached a peak of 18.0 in 2003. Since 2003, which incidentally was about the time the British government flooded the country with 20,000 more cops, the homicide rate has fallen to 11.1 in 2010.

Once we remove the 171 deaths mis-attributed to 2003, the 2003 spike is replaced with a smooth plateau. Similarly once we move the 96 victims of Hillsborough from 2017 to 1989 where they belong, the 2017 uptick is diminished. The corrected data shows a smooth upward trend until a small spike in 2001, followed by a plateau for a few years, then a rapid fall off. There was a slow upward trend through 2000. Note that homicides are generally on a slow climb for decades.

Browse other questions tagged united-states united-kingdom guns . Content: According to the UNODC Homicides By Firearms, about 67% of homicides in the US are committed with a firearm vs about 7% (the number varies a bit) in the UK. Given this very, very large disparity in gun violence and ownership, one cannot draw conclusions about the effect of a similar handgun ban in the US. US homicide rates are 5x the UK, yet they have so many more guns. The US murder rate is the highest in the Western world at about 5 per 100,000 people, whereas the UK is at about 1 per 100,000, but the US has 16 times as many guns. If their argument is correct, if handgun ownership even at the minuscule 1997 UK level of 0.1% is supposed to be the most important negative factor in homicide rates (ie. more legal handguns means less homicides), then the US with 20-25% gun ownership should have a very low homicide rate. But this clearly is not true.

The spike in 2003 comes from a policy of recording homicides when discovered and not when committed, and a prolific long-term serial killer was apprehended then. There are other notes of spikes.

I'm not sure what deeper conclusions can be drawn. Both the availability of weapons and the likelihood of being prosecuted could have an effect on crime rates.

For generations, astronomers, philosophers, and other deep thinkers have theorized about the existence of planets located outside our solar system. As early as the 16th century, there was written speculation on this topic, and Isaac Newton, perhaps the most important contributor to physics in history, theorized accurately that our Sun is a star, and that the stars you can see in the sky would therefore also have orbiting planets. The problem for finding planets is that these bodies don’t reflect enough light to be detectable through typical observation methods – such as looking through telescopes, so more creative techniques are required. As often happens, advancements in science had to wait for advancements in technology; now that we have that technology, we can find numerous planets.

They’re the patriarchs/matriarchs of the family, and enjoy almost absolute power over their children.

Title: Public shaming sentences: Can judges subject criminals to humiliation? Headings: Can We Bring Back the Stockades? Can We Bring Back the Stockades? The constitutionality of public shaming. By Brian Palmer Advertisement Content: Usually, yes. Public shaming is an integral part of our criminal justice system, although its prominence rises and falls periodically. Many cities have posted the names of drug offenders, deadbeat dads, or public urinators on billboards. Some have required people convicted of drunk driving to affix fluorescent license plates to their cars once they start driving again. Kansas City experimented with broadcasting on a government-owned television channel the names and addresses of men arrested for solicitation. The “ perp walk ” is a pre-conviction public shaming ritual. Individual judges have ordered offenders to wear signs and shirts, or go door-to-door apologizing to victims of their crimes. Legal challenges to such shaming sanctions typically fail. In 2003, for example, a San Francisco mail thief was ordered to spend eight hours standing in front of a post office wearing a sandwich board that read, “ I stole mail. This is my punishment .”

Black Americans are more likely to be disenfranchised because of a felony conviction. Most U.S. states restrict the voting rights of citizens convicted of crimes. Since black Americans are overrepresented in the criminal justice system, voter disenfranchisement has a disproportionate effect on the black population.

In 2016, Crystal Mason believed she was allowed to vote: She had served prison time for a felony conviction for filing false tax returns but was out on supervised release. Mason didn’t realize that, unlike many states, Texas does not restore felons’ voting rights until they’ve completed a probationary period. She cast a provisional ballot that was never even counted. Attorney General Ken Paxton—who frequently lobs false claims of voter fraud —charged her anyway. Mason was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison.

Title: The Supreme Court hasn’t heard, but Congress saved the ACA in March. Headings: Mitch McConnell May Have Accidentally Saved Obamacare Mitch McConnell May Have Accidentally Saved Obamacare Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Popular in News & Politics Support work like this for just $1 Content: A federal appeals court agreed that the mandate was unconstitutional but did not rule on whether the Affordable Care Act could be severed from the mandate. The case—and the severability question—now sit before the Supreme Court. Advertisement Advertisement Together, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and the CARES Act answer the severability question. As a practical and constitutional matter, there is no mandate. Congress knows this. It did away with the mandate by making it toothless in 2017. Since then, two federal courts have ruled the nonenforceable mandate unconstitutional. This shouldn’t, however, moot the entire law. Congress made this clear when it amended and expanded the Affordable Care Act—via the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and the CARES Act—to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Content: Slave Triangle - The Slave Trade THE SLAVE TRIANGLE The slave triangle was the route in which the process of slavery took place. It all started in the UK were the boats are boarded and loaded with Iron goods. Then they traveled down to Africa were they delivered the goods and in return an African tribe agreed to capture some other tribes for them. Then they were off with the slaves to america were the slaves were traded in for sugar, tobacco, and cotton which the slaves pick and look after. That is the slave triangle. More... The first side of the triangle was the exportation of goods from Europe to Africa. To sell or barter with, and then to purchase people for slaves. It didn't take long to work out which items were the most sought after; and which proved to be the most profitable. The second leg of the triangle transported the intended enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas and the Caribbean islands.

I also suggest transitioning your twins into pull ups. They’re much easier to pull up and down and mimic the same motions of undies in ways a diaper doesn’t. 1. Create a routine of using the potty Even if your twins are still in diapers or pull ups, create a routine of using the potty. For instance, every morning when they wake up, have them sit on the potty to release any pee they may have. Keep doing this, even if they have nothing to pee. Then, repeat the same process for other transition periods during the day. Waking up and peeing is something you and I do every day, so taking them at that time makes sense. You can also take them before or after:

Have set times for your toddler to sit on the potty In other words, don’t give him a choice or ask him whether he wants to go or not. 2. Make sitting on the potty part of your routine 3. Give your toddler time alone on the potty Learn what to do when your 4 year old won’t poop on potty. 4.

Put your foot down Conclusion Content: No.” Then I began walking him to the bathroom to sit on the potty, all without asking. I did this in a polite, matter-of-fact way, never forcing him to go. I would simply say in a natural way, “It’s time to sit on the potty,” or “Let’s sit you down on the potty now.” Try this every 1.5 to 2 hours so your toddler gets used to sitting on the potty. Pooping won’t be a source of conflict between the two of you, but something that happens, like a nap or a snack. In other words, don’t give him a choice or ask him whether he wants to go or not. Make sure to get him a comfortable potty as well. A floor potty makes it easier for him to sit on his own, but it does make for messier clean ups. A toilet attachment makes clean up easier, but you’d need to either carry him onto the seat, or teach him how to use a step.

Make sitting on the potty part of your routine Another option besides sitting your toddler on the potty at set times is to make the potty a regular part of your routine. Routines remove resistance, especially when it’s part of the day. But instead of sitting on the potty at set times, do so before or after regular parts of his day. For instance, you can sit him on the potty after he had eaten a meal, or before taking a bath. Whether he goes or not isn’t important so much as helping him develop a routine of sitting. The best way to know when to sit him down for the potty? Track when he usually poops, whether on the potty or even in his undies. See if you can find a pattern, like pooping first thing in the morning or right after he wakes up after a nap.

And finally, focus on creating a positive (or at least neutral) experience, from praising him for progress he’s made or good choices he decided on. Conclusion Convincing your toddler to poop in the potty can be exhausting, especially when you’re cleaning accidents every day. Rest assured, poop accidents, even long after he’s mastered peeing in the potty, is normal. With time and practice, he’ll eventually poop in the potty. In the meantime, you can help him along by having set times for him to use the potty and by incorporating potty use into your routine. When you do, give him plenty of time alone to relax his body and not feel pressured to poop. When he poops in his undies or diapers, discard the poop into the toilet so he knows that’s where it goes. Talk about his fears and show empathy for what he must be feeling. Stay positive, or at least not disgusted, with using the potty, and put your foot down on inappropriate behavior.

This can be beneficial in many different parts of your life, but it comes in especially handy if you’re looking for a supplement that can help you sleep better. The way the magnolia bark induces this sleepy, relaxed state is because it influences the GABA receptors in your brain. As you might know, GABA is the ‘slowing down’ neurotransmitter in your brain. It acts as a counter to the more excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and is responsible for turning down activity in brain cells. And that is exactly what you need when you cannot fall asleep at night. We recommend you to take magnolia bark for sleep around 1-2 hours before going to bed.

We took a closer look at Amazon's family-focused program to find out what it's all about and whether it can really save you money. How Much Does it Cost to Join Amazon Family? Amazon Family Discounts and Coupons Are Amazon Family’s Exclusive Offers Worth It? Amazon Family Baby Registry Bonuses Is Amazon Family Worth the Cost of Prime? Content: Amazon Family Baby Registry Bonuses Prime members who create a baby registry are eligible for a 15% registry completion discount through Amazon Family. What’s more, you can also snag a complimentary Welcome Box brimming with free samples and parenting products from Amazon. Other incentives to register include exclusive discounts on maternity clothes, prenatal vitamins, parenting books, beauty products, and more. These perks hold their own when compared to popular competitors. If you’re a regular Target shopper, their program also offers a 15% registry completion discount and a free goodie basket (consisting of free samples and $50 in coupons) upon registering. One potential downside of Target, however, is that their selection of items is reputed to be a bit limited. Is Amazon Family Worth the Cost of Prime? Amazon definitely uses its Prime benefits to hook people into the Family program — not that there’s anything wrong with that. Prime membership makes sense for a lot of consumers. Free two-day shipping along with access to the Prime Music library, Prime Video, Whole Foods benefits, and more all come with that $119 per year price tag, regardless of whether or not you have children.

If you’re already a Prime member and do a lot of Amazon online shopping, this program could be an easy way to lower your household’s monthly spending. If you’re not a Prime member, Amazon Family all on its own isn’t a big enough draw to justify the cost of a Prime membership, but all those other Prime benefits can definitely make up for what Family lacks. For expecting parents creating a registry, Amazon Family may also be the best solution for early discounts when you need them the most. Plus, the service offers up relevant coupons as your child grows older, and caters content for them if you opt in to Amazon FreeTime Unlimited. It’s definitely not a bad deal if you’re already an Amazon Prime family.

Thanks for replying. You are right about the prime cancellation after the holidays!

The learner has prior knowledge and experiences, which is often determined by their social and cultural environment. Learning is therefore done by students’ “ constructing ” knowledge out of their experiences. While the Behaviorist school of learning may help understand what students are doing, educators also need to know what students are thinking, and how to enrich what students are thinking. Constructivism can be traced back to educational psychology in the work of Jean Piaget (1896–1980) identified with Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. Piaget focused on how humans make meaning in relation to the interaction between their experiences and their ideas. His views tended to focus on human development in relation to what is occurring with an individual as distinct from development influenced by other persons. Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934) social constructivism emphasized the importance of sociocultural learning; how interactions with adults, more capable peers, and cognitive tools are internalized by learners to form mental constructs through the zone of proximal development. Expanding upon Vygotsky’s theory Jerome Bruner and other educational psychologists developed the important concept of instructional scaffolding, whereby the social or informational environment offers supports (or scaffolds) for learning that are gradually withdrawn as they become internalized.

Consequently, common targets of postmodern critique include universalist notions of objective reality, morality, truth, human nature, reason, science, language, and social progress. Postmodern thinkers frequently call attention to the contingent or socially-conditioned nature of knowledge claims and value systems, situating them as products of particular political, historical, or cultural discourses and hierarchies. Accordingly, postmodern thought is broadly characterized by tendencies to self-referentiality, epistemological and moral relativism, pluralism, and irreverence. Postmodern critical approaches gained purchase in the 1980s and 1990s, and have been adopted in a variety of academic and theoretical disciplines, including cultural studies, philosophy of science, economics, linguistics, architecture, feminist theory, and literary criticism, as well as art movements in fields such as literature, contemporary art, and music. Postmodernism is often associated with schools of thought such as deconstruction, post-structuralism, and institutional critique, as well as philosophers such as Jean-François Lyotard, Jacques Derrida, and Fredric Jameson. Criticisms of postmodernism are intellectually diverse, and include assertions that postmodernism promotes obscurantism, and is meaningless, adding nothing to analytical or empirical knowledge. Introduction Postmodernism is an intellectual stance or a mode of discourse that rejects the possibility of reliable knowledge, denies the existence of a universal, stable reality, and frames aesthetics and beauty as arbitrary and subjective. It can be described as a reaction against scientific attempts to explain reality with objective certainty, recognizing that reality is constructed as the mind tries to understand its own personal circumstances. It is characterized by an attitude of skepticism, irony, or rejection toward the grand narratives and ideologies of modernism, often denying or challenging the validity of scientific inquiry, or declaiming the arbitrariness of the aesthetics of artistic works or other artifacts of cultural production, or questioning various assumptions of Enlightenment rationality.

Initially, postmodernism was a mode of discourse on literature and literary criticism, commenting on the nature of literary text, meaning, author and reader, writing and reading. Postmodernism developed in the mid- to late-twentieth century across philosophy, the arts, architecture, and criticism as a departure or rejection of modernism. Postmodernism relies on critical theory, an approach that confronts the ideological, social, and historical structures that shape and constrain cultural production. Common targets of postmodernism and critical theory include universalist notions of objective reality, morality, truth, human nature, reason, language, and social progress. Postmodernist approaches have been adopted in a variety of academic and theoretical disciplines, including political science, organization theory, cultural studies, philosophy of science, economics, linguistics, architecture, feminist theory, and literary criticism, as well as art movements in fields such as literature and music.

Some philosophers, beginning with the pragmatist philosopher Jürgen Habermas, assert that those who employ postmodernist discourse are prey to a performative contradiction and a paradox of self-reference, as their critique would be impossible without the concepts and methods that modern reason provides.

R. Hays described postmodernism as a new literary form. In 1926, Bernard Iddings Bell, president of St. Stephen’s College (now Bard College), published Postmodernism and Other Essays, marking the first use of the term to describe the historical period following Modernity. In it, he criticizes the lingering socio-cultural norms, attitudes and practices of the Age of Enlightenment; forecasts the major cultural shifts toward Postmodernity, and (being an Anglo-Catholic priest) offers orthodox religion as a solution. However, as a general theory for a historical movement, it was first used in 1939 by Arnold J. Toynbee: “ Our own Post-Modern Age has been inaugurated by the general war of 1914–1918”. Portland Building (1982), by architect Michael Graves, an example of Postmodern architecture In 1949 the term was used to describe a dissatisfaction with modern architecture, and led to the postmodern architecture movement, and a response to the modernist architectural movement known as the International Style. Postmodernism in architecture was initially marked by a re-emergence of surface ornament, reference to surrounding buildings in urban settings, historical reference in decorative forms (eclecticism), and non-orthogonal angles. Peter Drucker suggested the transformation into a post-modern world happened between 1937 and 1957 (when he was writing).

Peter Drucker suggested the transformation into a post-modern world happened between 1937 and 1957 (when he was writing). He described an as yet “nameless era” which he characterized as a shift to conceptual world based on pattern, purpose, and process rather than mechanical cause, outlined by four new realities: the emergence of Educated Society, the importance of international development, the decline of the nation state, and the collapse of the viability of non-Western cultures. In 1971, in a lecture delivered at the Institute of Contemporary Art, London, Mel Bochner described “post-modernism” in art as having started with Jasper Johns, “who first rejected sense-data and the singular point-of-view as the basis for his art, and treated art as a critical investigation”. In 1996, Walter Truett Anderson described postmodernism as belonging to one of four typological world views, which he identifies as either (a) Postmodern-ironist, which sees truth as socially constructed, (b) Scientific-rational, in which truth is found through methodical, disciplined inquiry, (c) Social-traditional, in which truth is found in the heritage of American and Western civilization, or (d) Neo-Romantic, in which truth is found through attaining harmony with nature or spiritual exploration of the inner self. History The basic features of what is now called postmodernism can be found as early as the 1940s, most notably in the work of artists such as Jorge Luis Borges.

Buddhism There are many views among Buddhists on the issue of euthanasia, but many are critical of the procedure. An important value of Buddhism teaching is compassion. Compassion is used by some Buddhists as a justification for euthanasia because the person suffering is relieved of pain. However, it is still immoral “to embark on any course of action whose aim is to destroy human life, irrespective of the quality of the individual’s motive.” In Theravada Buddhism a lay person daily recites the simple formula: “ I undertake the precept to abstain from destroying living beings.” For Buddhist monastics ( bhikkhu) however the rules are more explicitly spelled out. For example, in the monastic code ( Patimokkha ), it states: “Should any bhikkhu intentionally deprive a human being of life, or search for an assassin for him, or praise the advantages of death, or incite him to die (thus): ‘

Jainism recommends voluntary death or sallekhana for both ascetics and srāvaka (householders) at the end of their life.
