AIMS OF EDUCATION Education has been conceived so variously in human history‚ especially in term of its aims. Chopra (2005) defines the term ‘Aims’ as: “Long-term ambitions which may or may not be achieved‚ but which provide personal motivation and direction” (p.16). Perhaps more than other aspects of human existence‚ it is education which lends a direction to human efforts through a certain underlying ‘philosophy’: “a set of ideas about the nature of reality and about the meaning of life” (McNergney

Realism: The Sole Propellant behind the U.S Nuclear Policies The three main theoretical thoughts behind today’s international politics are Realism‚ Liberalism‚ and Constructivism.
