How have you developed your leadership skills?
Developing your personal leadership skills is a long process of training yourself to be an example. Some people say leaders are born, but most people think that leaders develop themselves by winning challenges and facing adversity. The first thing to realize about leadership skills, is to know the difference between a boss or manager and a true leader: * A boss is a person who exerts power, authority and decision-making over others. Bosses want certain results and expect specific behaviors. People respond to a boss because they feel that they must.
* A leader is a person who wins your heart through respect, trust and devotion that that naturally comes from them. Leaders don't just demand, but give others the option to respond. People respond to a leader because doing so is something they want. Once you know what a leader should be, working on your leadership skills requires a certain mindset to practice the following: # Lead by Your Example. # Find Your Passion. # Strive for Organization. # Be Confident and Delegate. # Take Ownership and Responsibility. # Communicate Positively and Effectively. # Be Brave and Honest. # Become a Great Listener. # Know Your People. # Know When to be a Follower. Effective leadership skills can be developed by firmly creating a plan to follow these ideals, combined with learning how to manage your time. If a leader can't manage their own time, then they can't focus on the leadership skills they need to succeed.

Discuss the Impact of politics on educational curriculum?
There are two ways to look at this question. One refers to the addition of politics to the curriculum. Years ago, before the internet, 24/7 cable news, and smart-phones, politics was rarely discussed, except in a civics and government class in high school, or in Political Science courses in college. Talking politics was perceived as potentially inflammatory in elementary, middle and high schools, all of which have generally tried to avoid controversy. The reason is that even the most bland discussion of current events can lead to complaints from parents, when a perspective that someone disagrees with gets introduced-- during the Iraq War, there were newspaper reports of teachers being fired for expressing their opposition to the war. And when President Obama gave a 2009 back-to-school speech (about staying in school and studying), some anti-Obama partisans demanded that the speech not be shown in those schools, and it was not broadcast to those students. However, there has been some expansion at the college level: with politics and politicians so ubiquitous in the culture, colleges have found that teaching about political campaigns and political rhetoric can fit into journalism courses, media analysis courses, public speaking courses, social problems and sociology courses, and American history and government courses.
The other way to consider this question is the role of political viewpoints on textbooks. Historically, many textbook companies have presented a pro-America (and some would say Eurocentric) point of view about subjects like History; students are taught that America was usually right and other countries were wrong in most wars, and some of the shameful moments in American history (such as how we treated slaves, or how we took Indian lands) were glossed over. But these days, in many conservative states, entire curriculum has been rewritten to reflect a political rather than a historical point of view. Texas is a good example: Christian conservatives demanded (and got) a number of deletions to the science and history curriculum, reflecting their particular beliefs about evolution, and about America as a supposed "Christian nation." In Arizona, courses and texts that were said to promote anti-American views were eliminated, as were text-books that promoted pride in being Hispanic rather than American. And there is an on-going battle with school boards in a number of cities, as they try to ban the teaching of evolution or insist upon having Bible and theology taught in science class.
What does the saying A day late and a dollar short mean?
Uno die sero et una mina carensis the Latin equivalent of 'A day late and a dollar short'. In the word by word translation, the numbers 'uno' and 'una' mean 'one'. The noun 'die' means 'day'. The adverb 'sero' means 'late'. The conjunction 'et' means 'and'. The noun 'mina' means 'a Greek weight, a Greek measure of metal weighed out as money'. The gerund 'carens' means 'being without'.
Can animals make rational decisions?
Animals DO have the ability to rationalize HOWEVER their brains are not set up like humans. I know that Elephants and Whales have larger brains than humans so it should NOT be surprising at all for them to be able to rationalize a lot better than humans. The problem with most animals is that they go more in emotion or instinct rather than rationalization. There was a news report of a pig that risked its life to save its human family from a burning house. People tend to say animals are inferior and etc but that is not true at all. Animals and humans are pretty much the same. The only difference is that humans tend to rationalize a lot more than other animals.
Not only does this answer not make sense but it is arbitrary. One's love for animals or his emotional need to take care of them is neither a case for rationality in non-human animals, nor their equality to man nor that they have emotions past pain and pleasure.
Rationality (not 'rationalization' btw) is not measured by brain size.
Emotion is not the equivalent of instinct.
The pig's intention can never be proved.
Here are some facts:
Unlike humans, no non-human can willingly and knowingly act toward its own destruction.
This proves the unique power of volition (choice) in man.
With the power to choose comes the power to judge. Which choice is best.
Best for what? Man's life.
Best to whom? The man choosing.
The part of us that does this judging is our Faculty of Reason. Our rational mind.
A very hungry, healthy dog is incapable of refusing viable food available to him. He eats because it is both pleasurable to eat and painful if he does not.
He certainly won't refuse it because he is overweight. LOL.

What are the Merits and demerits of technology in teaching and learning process?
Since is the systematic collection of information about the universe through the observation of natural phenomena. So it's really just a disciplined accumulation of knowledge.
The advantages of having more knowledge? We have greater understanding and can make more accurate predictions about how things in the natural universe work.
Through advances in science we can build machines that fly, that allow us to see objects too small or far away to be detected by the naked eye. We can transport water great distances to fertilize crops and make certain areas liveable that weren't before. We can cure diseases that once we couldn't. We can explore under the sea and upon the surface of the moon.
The disadvantages- certainly we develop technologies faster than we develop socially. So we wind up with the ability to do things, but not necessarily the wisdom required to make a good decision about whether or not we should.
Also as our knowledge increases, we are forced to re-evaluate our existing beliefs- very often those beliefs are long-standing and held by many within society. Not so long ago, people thought the earth was flat and the sun revolved around us. We thought the flu was caused by evil spirits and thunderstorms meant the gods were angry. Now we've discovered that the world is round, that we are but one of many planets orbiting our sun, and that diseases and weather shifts are natural phenomena, whose causes we didn't understand before.
But the more we know, the less mystery there is to life. It's often more fun not knowing, being free to speculate and use our imaginations. Certainly a world with Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and monsters living under the bed is a more exciting place for a child. Shining a flashlight under the bed which allows us to explore and discover nothing but dust and shoes- that's what science does. It replaces belief with evidence.
In many cases individuals and organizations owe their livelihood and status within society to the continuation of those beliefs, so they must fight any findings that contradict those beliefs for their own economic survival. Individuals often place such great personal significance upon those beliefs that scientific advancement is unwelcome, like the person who was having a pleasant dream being awakened by a splash of cold water.
- 1 year ago It is helpful to us because it allows us to build a better civilization to live in. It is useful to us because it reminds us of our place in the universe, and may foster reverence for other living things. because we take the time to understand them, rather than merely dominating them (as religion would suggest we do).
It is also dangerous to us because it occasionally puts in our hands much greater powers than we can ethically and sensibly use.... such as weapons.
It is not going away any time soon, much to the chagrin of those who fear it. It is a sense that humans have developed over millenia, and is the emblem of our particular consciousness. merits & demerits? sounds like a badge contest (from boy or girl scouts of America - or elsewhere). is this an essay question? hum. sure sounds like one. well, since we all live in a very science-filled world and one that is very physical at that, i think you can answer it all by yourself. you are a grown person, now aren't you? Science has merit in that it helps us understand our world and increases our enjoyment of it. A huge demerit is that many attempt to use science to exclude God. The way I see it, science is our way of explaining God's creation. We cannot have one without the other. Science is a useful 'tool' and that is about it.
Science can solve physical problems. The basis of all science is called the 'Scientific Method': 1. Observation, 2. Hypothesis, 3. Experimentation, 4. Conclusion (and there are several variations on this). So Science is a useful tool to solve the physical problems of the universe. Science is made up of: mathematics, physics, and chemistry AND science is therefore EXACT.
Science is EXACT in that it can reproduce its findings over and over again anywhere in the known universe. Example: 1+1=2 always. On the Earth, Moon, or Mars, 1+1 will always = 2. Same with physical 'laws' or chemical equations, they will always be exact.
Any discipline that ends in "-ology" is NOT a science, but a 'study'. Biology, sociology, psychology, anthropology, archeology, are NOT science but they 'use' science to help them solve problems. Same with Economics. Economics and the practice of Medicine are not sciences, but they use science to accomplish their goals.
The PROBLEM with science is that it is TOO EXACT and is not flexible enough to handle the fuzzy or grey areas of human behaviour or human actions. That takes ART.
Science and Art are not the same. War is an 'art' not a science. Gambling is an 'art' and not a science. Economics is an art and not a science. Because you cannot exactly predict their outcomes.
It is the probability involved in gambling that is of interest to the Economist. How do you systematically call the winner of a war, a roullette game or a card game or the stock market in an EXACT manner? You can't! But by using the tool of science you can lower the rate of failure more than guessing.
Science cannot predict the winner of a war, card game, or the stock market. But a general, a gambler, or an economist uses Science to help him decide the best decision to make as close to exact as possible. Mathematics is used to help lower the number of mistakes. Probability and statistics are used by economists, generals, and gamblers to help make the most intelligent decision.
So Science is a tool like a hammer or screwdriver. But 'how' you use that tool is art.
Science is NOT art; BUT 'how' you use science is art.

Copy of the despair of Judas speech choir piece please?
Despair of Judas
I will rest here, awhile. His face! His Face! Not comely now. There is no beauty in it. It is scarred into my heart. It is burned into my soul and never will it lift from me until I die. Die? Will death quench the flames which consume me? Traitor, not endless years in hell can even pay the crime of murdering the son of God.
And last night, he dealt with me so gently. He washed my feet. He bade me to put my hand into the cup with his, while in my purse there jingled the coins which bought his blood. It was better for that man that he had never been born. Who? Who but I, who but I, I who betrayed him!
"What you do, do it quickly." He knew, and kept my sin a secret.
"Friend, where unto have you come, Judas, Judas, do you betray the son of God with a kiss?"
Friend! Friend! He called me his friend. The man I betrayed called me his friend. How hell must have laughed. Why did not the mountains fall on me?
Why did not the earth gape and swallow me up? Why did not the sea overwhelm me? Friend. Ha! Ha! Ha! Friend. Ha! Ha! Ha! The world will know Judas as the friend.
The world will point to Judas as a by word, and as a pledge of broken faith!
Do you think Judas you can hide from the father of your friend Jesus? Not even in hell can I escape. Not in the grave for the earth will spurn my corpse. Not in the heavens for Jesus the friend is there.
What hope for Judas? What hope for Judas? Not even in hell can I escape for he called me devil, and devils cried out: torment us not, Jesus, Judas, faithless friend, devil, one of whom it would have been better not to have been born. There is no hope for you, no hope, no hope…
Can you give me a copy of a declamation piece I need love?
What a Night I was walking alone one dark night i was going home, i heard footsteps following me, slowly i looked back but no one was there, i walked faster, then i slowly i looked back again, I saw him, he was tall but i can't see his face through the darkness, I was so afraid, i was trembling with fear. The footsteps became louder and faster then i panicked, I shouted help! help! help! Somebody help me! Suddenly I felt a tight grip on my arms, O! My! he was holding my arms, help, help! as i whisked his hand so hard to get off from his grip, Ohhh! it hurts, my arm hit the railings of my bed! i woke up! Thanks heavens it was just a bad dream! by tessa a.s. briones
A story on the proverb - Do action speaks louder than words?
Actions may not actually speak louder than words but they do prove things better. Like the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." an action shows that someone is genuine. Someone may say that they will help the hungry people of the world, but when they actually get out there and feed them, we believe it. Here is an example: If you say you are going to donate a million dollars to a school then that is all good and well, but if you actually do it (the action) then it will make much more of an impact that just saying it. Basically it means that you have to walk the walk not just talk the talk.
