.... and convert these proud, Kwakiutl native people. The old ones were unreligious while the young ones had little respect towards the old people and the old ways of life. His first problem was trying to be accepted into this struggling primitive community, which was starting to be swallowed into the white man's world. Then he had to help preserve the old culture of totems and salmons from being replaced by a new culture of alcoholism and residential schools. A few Indian youths went to a school in Vancouver, to which the elders disapproved because they knew the young people would never return to the village. In the end, he d .....

.... students to think for themselves and to resist conformity. He most memorably illustrates how easily conformity affects people during his lesson involving a stroll in the courtyard. He instructs three of his pupils to walk around the courtyard. The three boys march in unison, and the remainder of the pupils begin to clap in time with the marching. He asks why the boys are clapping, and they do not know. Perhaps they were clapping because everyone else was clapping, or perhaps they were just having a good time. However, it cannot be disputed that the group conformed without thinking. All too often, the words of the textbook are co .....

.... live their lives from day to day just knowing and accepting what is being presented to them blindly and have no concept of the reality that lies behind what they are presented. Unless these people are freed and allowed to find the truth for themselves, this is the way that they will always live their life. Plato symbolizes this by suggesting that one of these men is freed and ventures out of the cave into the light, or the world above, and sees the sun, symbolizing "the form of the good". Plato’s object in this work was not of personal enlightenment; he had the sense to understand that where communication was lacking, .....

.... that they absorb only good things. I always picture myself as a kindergarten teacher whom all kids gather around and call teacher. Hoping that after they go off my class, they would be nice and gentle, full of quality to be successful, and respect other people. In order to reach my goal and follow my dream, I would have to be succesfully graduated from high school. I would go to a good university, and do well in it. I would also want to have acadamic degrees, at least a Master’s degree, or perhaps a doctor’s degree. I don’t really dream for a doctor’s degree. I think if I could really do well in my Master’s .....

.... not make murderers out of ourselves? Can justice justify our acts? Those who assist in the death penalty are they not partners in crime? Is the death penalty a "Cruel and Unusual" punishment or is it now a necessary tool in the war on crime? With the increase in crime and violence in our society, how does the death penalty affect a North American family. History of the Death Penalty: Use of the death penalty has declined throughout the industrial Western World since the 19th century. In 1972, movement in America to have the death penalty declared unconstitutional during the landmark case of Furman v. Georgia, which declared the .....

.... of "Active Journalism", digging up a story, instead of waiting for it to "land in your lap" is the most detrimental effect to the bloated media. The problem with "Active Journalism" is that it will reveal stories that perhaps should have stayed private. The need for the public to know these stories, is really a matter of opinion, of which mine is obviously against the large "news organizations" Therefore, do we just flat out kill our television, or perhaps, not so much our end, but perhaps the broadcasting entities on the other side? Could the television perhaps be a useful tool in education? I believe, if used correctly, shows .....

.... story tells about people from Earth landing on Mars. The Martians give them a hard time as if they were not from Earth. This was later explained when they were thrown into a mental institution. They later showed the doctor their rocket, but he thought the men were telepathic so he killed them and later killed himself. I was amused to see what the Martians reactions were. They all did not care as if it were a joke. We also got to see what their town was like. The Taxpayer This was about a man who wanted to go to Mars bad and said he had a right to go since he was a taxpayer. I thought this story was normal since somet .....

.... helped distinguish a person’s character, level of education, and their social class. For this reason usage was kept in a formal state and English grammarians devoted themselves to “refining, ascertaining, and fixing” the language (Bishop xxii). “The traditionalists maintain that language is subject to a higher morality and those who care about the preservation of language must defend traditional values in the face of growing laxity and permissiveness” (Numberg xxvi). Good grammar consists of conformity to the rules proposed by the traditionalists and should be used correctly in the construction of sentences. Bad gramm .....

.... what they don't know. This paper will make an attempt to explain the statement by further exploring the speech of Diotima as well as looking into the speech of Socrates in the Apology. In order to answer the question of how the philosopher in Socratic ignorance is like the true lover, the terms that will be used need to be defined. For the purpose of this paper Socratic ignorance will be understood as knowing what one does not know or lack. Furthermore, the true lover will be defined as one who has reached the final step of Diotima's "Ladder of Love" ( 210A-212B) or has given birth to true virtue and nurtured it. Eros, as s .....
