Measured by their functional value, the creation of the houses of confinement can be regarded as a failure. Their disappearance throughout Europe, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, as receiving centers for the indigent and prisons of poverty, was to sanction their ultimate failure: a transitory and ineffectual remedy, a social precaution clumsily formulated by a nascent industrialization.

It is easy to forget that social institutions are not immune to massive change. At the start of the nineteenth century, houses of confinement winked out of existence in Europe. Houses of confinement were designed to be places that would not only receive but also imprison the poor. Evaluated by their functional value, the establishment of the houses of confinement may be considered as a failure. In several hundred years what institutions that at present seem to be permanent fixtures in society will share a similar fate?

The philosophical position known as constructivism views knowledge as a human construction. The various perspectives within constructivism are based on the premise that knowledge is not part of an objective, external reality that is separate from the individual. Instead, human knowledge, whether the bodies of content in public disciplines (such as mathematics or sociology) or knowledge of the individual learner, is a human construction.

People have asked me about my philosophy of teaching and learning. I would associate myself with the philosophical stance called constructivism that sees knowledge as something constructed by people. Constructivism is founded on the idea that knowledge and truth does not come from an external reality that is objective and that exists apart from a person. I tried explaining constructivism to my brother and he thought the idea was crazy.

The fact that the day of Queen Victoria's funeral coincides with the birth of the narrator may, on the one hand, signify the cultural moment when Victorian decency and codes of femininity are left behind, buried, and put to rest, and in this way, it can be interpreted as a moment when even certain untold stories can be told. On the other hand, however, it may also foretell something of a story in which matrilineage is unnaturally broken; also, it tells us about the permeability of the border between, and about the coexistence of, life and death.

One way to explain the date coincidence in the novel is by interpreting it as a detail foretelling an unatural interruption in matrilineage (Séllei, 2009). The funeral of Queen Victoria was no doubt a significant cultural moment for England.

The new paradigm of education requires the student, teacher, and parents to be informed of what the student has actually learned at any point in time, to assure that progress is continuous and personalized, and to make good decisions about what to learn next. The recordkeeping tool of an information-age LMS will replace the current report card.

A student's parents are often more interested in the achievements of a student detailed in their report card. The parents interest, or lack thereof, can play a large role in the student's motivation to learn within school settings.

Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological nature--the pragmatic idealism--of highly visionary companies. Our research showed that a fundamental element in the "ticking clock" of a visionary company is a core ideology--core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money--that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time.

While some have identified Merck as a visionary company dedicated to a "core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money" (Collins & Porras, 2002, p. 48), others point out corporate misdeeds perpetrated by Merck (e.g., its role in establishing a dubious medical journal that republished articles favorable to Merck products) as contradictory evidence.

You could even skip the debate and simply concentrate on getting letters to candidates. The key is to act. Concentrate on two or three issues at the most. If you write on twelve topics, you dissipate the effect. Keep the letter short, one page if possible, two at the most. Your lawmakers and their staffs are busy and are not likely to do more than glance at a long letter.

There are many ways to participate in the electoral process. Town hall debates are often open to the public in smaller elections. These debates may provide opportunities for the public to ask questions directly. However, “you could even skip the debate and simply concentrate on getting letters to candidates” since the letter writing approach is not dependent on being able to get access to limited microphone time (Simon, 2003).

The way the U.S. judicial system works, a defendant is first found to be innocent or guilty. The punishment sentence is determined only after a defendant has been found guilty. It might seem that this is a relatively minor procedural issue. Yet, the order of this decision-making can mean the difference between life and death, or even between conviction and acquittal.

References:

Seemingly small choices, such as the order of decision-making, can have major consequences. For example, making decisions about punishment after a guilty verdict has been reached rather than before guilt has been established impacts conviction and acquittal rates. A decision to convict can literally be a life or death decision in countries that practice capital punishment.

Whereas Gauguin was an iconoclast, caustic in speech, cynical, indifferent, and at times brutal to others, Vincent van Gogh (1853-90) was filled with a spirit of enthusiasm for his fellow artists and overwhelming love for humanity.

I find visiting art galleries tremendously uplifting. My most recent experience left me with a spirit of enthusiasm and overwhelming love for humanity that I found difficult to explain to my peers who wouldn't be caught dead visiting an art gallery.

The word "comfortable" is more profound than people usually realize. The mystery of genuine comfort goes beyond the simple idea that the word first seems to mean. Places which are comfortable are comfortable because they have no inner contradictions, because there is no little restlessness disturbing them.

What does it mean to be "comfortable"? Real comfort is a puzzling concept that is more complex than the initial definitions we might come up with. Comfortable locations may be comfortable because "they have no inner contradictions, because there is no little restlessness disturbing them" (Alexander, 1979, p. 32).

We considered a number of methods for measuring similarity between countries with respect to their mathematics attainment. A simple comparison of scale scores over time was rejected as this would limit the investigation to asking how much respondents from a country know on a given topic. Instead, we chose an item-level analysis that allows for a closer examination of what respondents in a given country know and how this compares to other countries.

We came up with several methods for assessing how closely related two classes were with regards to their reading ability. A straightforward contrasting of test scores was deemed unacceptable since this would make it challenging to determine what reading strengths students from a specific class had. We decided, instead, to focus on answers to specific test questions to be able to see how students in a particular class stacked up against other classes with respect to the particular test question.
