- 3532: Immigrants And The United
- ... the immigrants will contribute to the prosperity of the America society or they just create more problems and difficulties for our society.

- 3534: Ireland An Expansion Through T
- Ireland: An Expansion through Time The Romans were the first true force to convert to Christianity. During their reign they would conquer and command heathen tribes into obeying this new found religion. However, the Roman Empire would decay, disappear and then it was left to another group to take over. The Irish would eventually become a driving force behind Christianity; peaceably converting and forming new ideas and thought behind the religion itself. Thus, the Irish unknowingly save civilization. To put things in perspective, first one must know some background information. For it was Augustine who brought about the need for ... libraries with histories, philosophy, and legends. These libraries would become the treasure of classical knowledge and the basis for thought that would follow.

The middle ages were already a period of trouble and crisis, the plague provoked problems and added new ones, and the crisis worsened.

Trowbridge (1996) relates this general view of constructivism to teaching by adding that constructivism is a model of teaching in which students construct knowledge by interpreting new experiences in the context of prior knowledge, experiences, episodes and images.
