To understand place-based education, first one must define what place-based education is. Place based education is " learning that is rooted in what is local, the unique history, environment, culture, economy, literature, and art of a particular place”( Sobel ,2004.23 ). Students should learn about what is going on within their environment before they learn about other environments. When students learn about their own environment first they can make comparisons to other environments based off…

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of greatness, it was the epoch of death, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of fine dining and hope, it was the winter of disease and despair, they had everything before them, they had nothing before them. 1 “In the Early Middle Ages, the production and consumption of food were closely linked despite the presence of the market,…

Despite that fact, american officials compromised the very values they were supposedly fighting the Cold War for, doing things like preventing communist party members from fishing because they might “poison [the water] while pretending to troll for trout”. Anyone who wasn’t seen as sufficiently anti-communist, like Secretary of State Henry Wallace, was in danger of losing their job, or being added to watch lists. Major figures in american culture, especially those in Hollywood, were persecuted…

Filled with dark themes and murderous stories, the Bible seems almost opposite to Christianity's supposedly peaceful nature. However Kurt Vonnegut’s anti-war novel, Slaughterhouse-Five, ironically uses Biblical allusions and twists the godliness of Jesus to explore innocence and empathy for soldiers and civilians negatively affected by war.

Kurt Vonnegut uses imagery and manipulation of fiction to reveal truths about human nature we would deny. Cats Cradle and Slaughter-House Five are two examples of Vonnegut 's writings that use these skills to show the gory, but at times hilarious truths of war, science and reality. Although both novels have their plots and characters, they shared some common ideas and themes. In the novel Cats Cradle, John the narrator sets out to research information for his book titled "The Day the World…

Middle age is the period of the life span that occurs from forty to about sixty years of age (Santrock, 2012). Individuals in this period of development are usually expanding their personal and social involvement, assisting the next generation in…

In the best of times, the Japanese have always had a variety of foodstuffs from which to choose, both from the land and sea. Of course, one's diet depended to a great extent on social class. As those considered samurai could range in means from very poor to very rich-and thus experienced diets that crossed classes-we'll examine some generalities.
