- 10922: What is an Education?
- ... indication of an educated individual, are usually very helpful in getting a good job. But alone, good grades are a completely unfair indication of how a person will perform under the pressures of the real world. Instead of looking at a person's grades during a job interview and deciding whether that person is eligible for a particular position, why not try something realistic?

- 10924: Sonnet 138
- ... the same time as he is deceiving himself by believing her lies, he is in effect mirroring her actions. He presents himself as "made of truth" by establishing himself as an innocent, "Unlearnèd in the world’s false subtleties." Shakespeare begins the second stanza with a wonderful pun. "Vainly thinking" refers not only to the narrator’s own vanity (which is driving him to such a deception), but also to the ... is so clearly not unacquainted with), now the tone is quite clearly regretful: the "simple truth" is repressed, held back. The phrase is also a paradox, for the poem has committed the reader to a world of intellectual complexity and sophistication, in which "truth" has become elusive and problematical: not simple at all. In this respect, the reader is able to feel the speaker’s nostalgic yearning for an innocent world of simple verities. The third stanza begins with questions from the speaker: "But wherefore says she not she is unjust? And wherefore say not I that I am old?" These questions are not asked ...

Miss Havisham did stay indoors, and died there as ... was almost as if she had endured a death – a death of her own spirit. She was no longer active in her life, which can contribute to unhealthy aging. She isolated her self from the world around her.

- 10926: Autumn A Magnificent End
- ... should not feel sad seeing their elder loved ones change their colors and whither but rather rejoice from the knowledge that they lived a magnificent life and their death is merely the start of a new beginning. After all the leaves have fallen, and the ground is littered in seas of immense color, the very structure that carried the leaves remains-the trees. They live on long after the leaves have fallen and died and remind us that no matter how long, cold, and terrible the winter is a new spring will come.

- 10927: Womens Development
- Civic engagement in urban governance requires new forms of urban partnerships between users, designers and decision-makers. To achieve these, it is important to foster horizontal linkages between different organisations and actors involved in human settlements development: politicians, activists, advocacy groups, self ... on Women's Terms", March, 1990. All too frequently women are included in urban partnerships only at the implementation stage and remain excluded from the formulation, design and resource allocation stages of programmes and projects. New forms of partnership, therefore, need to adopt an enabling approach. This should foster (on the part of all parties involved) a commitment to developing inter-organisational relationships conducive to genuine participatory processes that include both women and men, and at all stages. Moreover, it is also acknowledged that genuine participation by diverse groups means "reconceptualising the meaning of "successful" organisations and defining new contractual procedures" (OECD 1995). Strong linkages are needed between grassroots organisations, urban professionals and their organisations and the decision-makers responsible for policy. The more women are involved in all these arenas, the easier ...
