My mandala represents everything in my life that I find important. Above all‚ I would consider individuality to be the most important. I represented this by placing a snowflake in the core of my mandala; this makes sense‚ because no two snowflakes are alike. Being unique is important to me‚ because I strongly believe in being true to yourself. The core of my mandala correlates with everything else‚ because all the symbols surrounding the center make up the person I am today. Another symbol shown

Several years ago‚ I heard someone say‚ “Values are caught‚ not taught.” At first‚ this sounded counterintuitive and completely wrong. Seriously‚ I thought‚ values are so important and significant in the life of any family‚ any organization‚ and to any group‚ how could they be left to be casually‚ haphazardly caught? Shouldn’t a person or group be intentional about how it teaches deeply-held values? It seemed careless to leave the communicating of values to something as nonchalant‚ and perhaps

Cursive in school. It is a fond memory that is shared with almost all generations learning to write the phrase “the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog” in cursive. It brings me joy to read old letter between my great grandma and Grandpa‚ or read the beautiful penmanship of the side notes that my ancestors had written in our family bible. Sadly today’s generation may never get to share this memory or experience this sentimental feeling‚ because cursive is being taken out of today’s curriculum

According to James W. Loewen in Lies My Teacher Told Me‚ American students enter college less knowledgeable about their own history than any other subject. American history is the least liked and worst remembered subject in American curricular. Loewen argues that history is the only subject one has to unlearn in college because high school presents inaccurate information to students. Who is to blame? Despite the indicting title‚ James Loewen does not appear to be blaming only teachers for student

Marshall Pickel American history is taught in high schools all over the country. It is held as a core curriculum for every American student because of the importance found in teaching our youth of our “perfect nation” and our “perfect past”. However‚ contrary to popular belief‚ James W. Loewen‚ author of Lies My Teacher Told Me‚ has found American history to be taught with a completely nationalistic approach. Not only is the history of our country taught with a horribly strong patriotic sentiment

Though often in conflict with my parents‚ we share many characteristics. I’ve learned that every day I become more like my parents. They are my role models so I recognize that we act‚ talk‚ and believe in similar ways. This affects our relationship both positively and negatively. Several characters in the book Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry also learn that they are like one or both of their parents. I’m capable of relating to both of my parents‚ but in my opinion‚ my dad and I have the most similarities

Can Ethics be Taught With more people educated with higher degrees now more than ever‚ why are scandals relating to unethical behavior on the rise? It seems like every time I read the newspaper there is another scandal relating to some high-level executive involved in unethical behavior. We must ask ourselves if organizations follow any type of ethical principles or guidelines. It is common practice for organizations to gain success regardless of hurting others to increase the bottom line. We

Lies My Teacher Told Me Effect on Me There is a common expression that a lot of us have heard at least one time “don’t believe everything you read”‚ just because a book is written and published does not mean is always accurate. True historical facts can easily be transformed by adding or taking away details in order to see it only from a certain perspective. The textbooks in history classrooms represent many different groups from the perspective of one group‚ usually European. Loewen explores the
