Education in Scotland

Community Education has been at the forefront of education in Scotland since the Alexander Report amalgamated youth work, adult learning and community work together back in 1975 to form the community education services seen currently. Back then the Labour Government at the time commissioned the report and it has continued to have a significant impact on community education since then. In this essay I will explore how the different antecendents of community education outlined in Community…

Reflective Log 1 Briefly describe the topic you have chosen and your thoughts and feelings about it: I have chosen to explore the topic of Person-centredness as Code of Conduct for Nurses tell us to put the individual at the center of our concern, respect their wishes and involve them in making decisions about their own care and treatment. (NMC and Nursing and Midwifery Council, 2015) Moreover, person-centredness is a core of Scotland’s healthcare quality vision for the future. NHS realise…

successful franchising system created by Ray Kroc offers a heuristic to examine the development and effects of UK education policy (Wilkinson, 2006). Ritzer’s theory of McDonaldization also provides a heuristic device which can be used to take in account changes in education. This suggests that these principles are not only applied to the McDonalds franchise but also to the education system. When reading further…

did not like the English Parliament he was on the other hand very fond of the English Church. It was a Calvinist church supervised by bishops and had the king as the head of the church while in Scotland the Scottish kirk was trying to get rid of bishops and parishes. Even during his time as King of Scotland James did not agree with the Scottish Kirk. He try to reform it with the 5 Articles of Perth when he came back in 1617 but…

The Scotland Act 1998 was responsible for the devolution of significant areas of civil law such as family law, planning law and bankruptcy law to Holyrood. The administrative workings of the Scottish legal systems are far removed from that from the rest of the UK. This includes the structures of the courts, court procedures and the funding of legal aid. (Scottish Parliament Information Centre, 2014). In Scotland, there are 3 main types of civil courts, namely, the Sheriff Courts, Court of…

his throne. Macbeth murders his closest friend, Banquo, because of the witches’ prophecies, which Banquo “shalt get kings, though thou be none” (1.3.69) Macbeth fears that the witches prediction of Banquo’s own descendants to become the kings of Scotland we eventually come true.

My passion for politics started when I was 12 years old, after I started noticing things on television concerning Scottish Independence. I saw the independence referendum as a chance for me to speak out about how I wanted my future to be, regardless of whether I would get to vote or not (which obviously, I wouldn’t). What I did not know though, is that just researching about Scottish and British Politics would cause me to branch out to other countries politics and become more aware social and…

Throughout the play “Macbeth”, there is a constant struggle for satisfaction. While dealing with the internal struggle between his morals and his thirst for power, is the representation of humanity’s constant struggle for gratification, as well as my own. Though he attempts to attain his goals, he ends up losing more than he ever gains. This struggle for satisfaction eventually leads to his death, as well as the deaths of almost everyone around him. I also struggle with satisfaction, believing…

Prince Hans, voiced by Santino Fontana, was introduced as Anna’s love interest, but later revealed to be the villain. I heard a theory that Hans was based off the mirror in “The Snow Queen,” and there is a little bit of evidence to support this. His personality and motivations are constantly changing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSLv9cYOA6M He’s upbeat and awkward when he’s with Anna, he’s quiet when he’s with Elsa, he throws his weight around when he’s with the diplomats, and he even shows…

In the beginning of the play, MacDuff first appears when the king and noble men arrive at a city in Scotland called Inverness. At this point in the play, Macduff has no interest at all in killing Macbeth. A few scenes later, Macduff finds out that King Duncan has been murdered. Macbeth told Lennox and Macduff that when he went to the room Duncan was staying…
