Milesian school

become as it is? What are the building blocks of all things? Some say the world just is. Others take refuge in the “Big Bang.” Some firmly believe that God created both the heavens and the earth. In this essay, however, I am going to divulge the thoughts and reasons behind some of the Pre-Socratic views of the Cosmos and the building blocks of the “stuff” we find on earth. There are some very differing views of how the world became what it is today. Many of the Pre-Socratic philosophers would also agree. Thales might tell you the world began from water. Anaximander might say the boundless, Anaximenes, the air, and my personal favorite, the atomists and their idea of the world being formed with atoms. The first philosopher, Thales, was a Milesian man that will tell you that water is the basic element of all things. Thales was the first of the philosophers to try and get at the underlying stuff that made all things. He had the idea that everything we see on this earth, in one way or another, has a connection towards or with water. The thought of water being the origin of all things on earth is not too abstract. In most places, when one looks out over the land you are most likely bound to see water. The earth is 71% water so especially if he saw the ocean I could see his point of view. One thing that does interest me though is the idea of solid objects. How does water form, say, a chair or a wall. Or how does the wall or chair originate from water. I think this would be a…

I grew up in a small church, where my mom was a Sunday school teacher and my dad was the Assistant Pastor. They also were involved in the youth a lot. Growing up, I can remember driving down the road on our way to church and seeing kids that knew or my mom knew and we would ask them if they wanted to go to church with us. Next thing you knew, we have like 5-6 local kids going to church with us. I can remember when we use to ask them where they lived so we could make sure that it was alright with…

One of the most prevalent differences between cultures seems to be how the youth are educated. Concerning the kinds of material taught, the methods used to produce learning, and the relationship between students and teachers, education varies extensively from culture to culture. After reading Abubakari Lunna’s life story regarding his drumming education, it is evident that the way people present themselves has a lot to do with how we develop relationships with others. While I have heard of…

Should We Stop Child Labour? (Opinion Paper) How would you feel if you ever had to see your 7 year old brother or sister going to work instead of school? In today’s society teenagers or kids usually whine about how much work they did around the house when in reality they only did a bit. They usually don’t think about the kids that are forced in to labouring for many different purposes and cant whine about it because they won’t get there pay or they would get beaten. Have you ever thought why…

quality of the CCSS, its transition into school and how it’s affected the lives of students and teachers. This reform on education might have hindered the system…

I feel like if you, as a teacher, fail to bring out the quiet girl sitting in the back, then you did not do your job right in being a role-model. A successful teacher also includes all their students in school activities, and events that will happen throughout the year. The teacher has to create a positive community in the school to enhance the school as a community. It will be very difficult to connect with high school students, because they are in a critical time of their life, where they are…

The Development of Public Schools in the 19th Century Horace Mann once said, “It may be an easy thing to make a Republic; but it is a very laborious thing to make Republicans.”(Nasaw 40). At the beginning of the 19th century, the United States was far from the ideal model of a developed government. George Washington had completed his first two terms in 1797, as the first president. Leading into the 1800s, there were many issues that needed to be fixed before the U.S. could properly be called…

The debate over when sexual education has always been debated. The debate about when to teach your child is where the debate always begins. It is essential that children begin learning about o sexual education in primary school; this is so they are begin to conceptualize and understand the biological and physical…

many of these students have not attended school prior to this school year. Therefore, many more students that may qualify for special education services may have not yet been identified. This poses a problem for the teacher as she may not be aware that some students need modifications or extra assistance. However, there are two instructional aides that provide extra support in the form of pull out groups to help students who are struggling with a particular subject. These instructional aides…

Atticus Finch v. Miss Caroline You would have a very difficult time finding two people who have similar goals to teaching but are so different it doesn’t even look like they’re on the same spectrum. But that’s just what you see when you look at Atticus Finch and Miss Caroline from To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. They are both teachers of a sort, with their own specific styles that do nothing but clash with each other. They also both have a lasting effect on the main character, Scout, and…
