Absolute zero

date objects that are hundreds of years old up to a few million years old. Dating methods are used to find out about how old an artifact may be, or how old it is exactly. Relative dating methods are stratigraphy and style analysis. Absolute dating methods used are absolute dating, radiocarbon dating, uranium-lead dating, and luminescence dating. Stratigraphy as a dating method, is based around the principle that older artifacts are usually found below younger artifacts. When archaeological…

bullying cases reached the news including Hiroki’s fate, Japan has recently eyed the zero-tolerance policy. This policy is not the correct answer to bullying, however, as it does not solve the underlying problems that led to bullying in the first place. There are a multitude of reasons behind bullies, such as trouble at home, lack of adequate compassion, lack of training in empathy, or even psychological disorders. Zero tolerance policies would not solve all of these problems. A source from…

In recent years government leaders have begun to address the expanded use of zero tolerance policies in schools. In 2012, the State of Michigan Department of Education (MDOE) published a resolution to address school discipline and issues impacting student outcomes. This resolution reinforced what research has already shown in regards to the negative impacts on students who are suspended or expelled and strongly urges schools in Michigan to “adopt discipline policies without mandated suspensions…

I am Zero. I do not have a number, I am where the numbers begin. It’s hard to explain. I like the number three, but I don’t like it if it’s with four or five. Unlike the number five, I like the number four, but not if it’s with five or three. This isn’t because of how the numbers look, it’s because each number has a color. Five is red, three is yellow, and four is a mild green color. Nine is a dark, almost-black purple color and two is a very light blue, which is why they go so well together.…

Introduction
 The school to prison pipeline and zero-tolerance policies are a nationwide epidemic that is affecting our students beginning in their primary years of education, such as preschool through their post secondary education, or even post graduate level. Through zero-tolerance policies both students and educators are becoming victims to this social construct. Yes, there are plenty of questions to be asked of the students because they are essentially our future, yet a major component that…

resources are of course limited. The commodity in which groups compete is honor. Honor is the ultimate good thing. This competition for honor can be seen throughout the first century and in the New Testament. The opponents of Jesus operated from a zero sum game in respect to honor if Jesus is honored they are in turn without honor. Paul’s missionary journeys encountered groups that operated with that same perspective. This is why many attempts are made to dishonor Jesus and Paul. Dishonoring…

The philosophy of zero tolerance has dominated the educational landscape since the 1990’s. Originally zero tolerance was developed as an approach to drug enforcement but it has become a mandate for discipline in schools. Zero tolerance mandates the predetermined consequences, most often severe and punitive in nature, that are intended to be applied regardless of the severity of the behavior, mitigating circumstances, or situational context. As educational leaders, our main purpose to ensure a…

My high school has a zero-tolerance policy when it pertains to fighting. Therefore, it does not matter if you are not the instigator of a fight; it is an automatic suspension. Unfortunately, on two occasions, I was suspended and both times for fighting. The first incident occurred in October 2016, because female students were repeatedly bullying and calling me derogatory “black” names due to my dark skin tone. The second time was at a football match, hosted at another school in November 2017,…

contrasts sharply with absolutism, a form of government in which the ruler has complete governing control over a population and can legislate regardless of the people’s interests. The text appears to be a response to absolutism in Europe that denounces absolute monarchical power, instead favoring humanistic ideas such as natural law and liberty. The author’s implicitly explained background information, his word choice, and the issues addressed imply that…
