- 3031: Teacher Certification
- ... ideal education system, which is one of the goals of our national government and State governments. Over the years the whole educational reform movement has become an increasingly "hot" topic. Reforms in the administration of school systems and in curriculum theory and practice have been asked for and a4re currently being put into effect. Recently, reform of the education of teachers is being added to the lo9ng list of reforms needed ... There is no argument that all schools in every state has these basic requirements of teacher certification. However, the inconsistency lies within how the numerous institutions go about in teaching these requirements. Each post-secondary school is given the jurisdiction to choose how they are going to go about meeting these basic teacher certification requirements. For example, many states require a different amount of field hours. An inconsistency can also be ... conducted a study on this variety of models in 1989. They came up with three different attempts of teacher training. The first, known as the teacher's college model, involves certification students entering a separate school within a university that is a "teacher's college". The second approach is called the liberal arts model by the researchers, and is a method that requires and individual to become specialized in a ...
- 3032: Capital Punishment - History
- ... ready to believe in these statistics and to abandon the deterrence argument. But they defend the death penalty base on other arguments, relying primarily on the need to protect society from killers who are considered high risks for killing again. Incapacitation is another controversial aspect of the death penalty. Abolitionists say condemning a person to death removes any possibility of rehabilitation. They are confident in the life-sentence presenting the possibility ... say the cost of execution has become increasingly expensive and that life sentence is more economical. A study of the Texas criminal system estimated the cost of appealing capital murder at $2,316,655. This high cost includes $265,640 for the trial; $294,240 for the state appeals; $113,608 for federal appeals (over six years); and $135,875 for death row housing. In contrast, the cost of housing a ... is estimated at $750,000. This is a huge amount of taxpayer money but the public looks at it as an investment in safety since these murders will never kill again. Retentionists argue that these high costs are due to "the lengthy time and the high expense result from innumerable appeals, many over 'technicalities' which have little or nothing to do with the question of guilt or innocence, and do ...
- 3033: Tundra and The Artic
- ... northern regions of North America, Europe, Asia, as well as a few regions of Antarctica. The Tundra is the second largest vegetation zone in Canada. It can be divided clearly into three different sections: the High Arctic Tundra, the Low Arctic Tundra and the Alpine Tundra. The latter Alpine Tundra occurs in higher altitudes such as mountains whereas the first two are mainly based in plains and lowlands of some kind. The Low Arctic Tundra is the transmission point to the north. It is located above Canada's Boreal forests and is followed by the High Arctic Tundra. The High Arctic Tundra is located farther north and encompasses the Arctic circle as well as most of the western Northwest Territories. Generally though since climate more or less corresponds to vegetation zones, the Tundra is ...
- 3034: Anti-Matter
- ... feel gravity as a push rather than a pull. If this were so, the antiproton's negative mass/energy would cancel the proton's when they met and nothing would remain; in reality, two extremely high-energy gamma photons are produced. Today's theories of the universe say that there is no such thing as a negative mass. The second and more subtle mistake is the idea that anti-water would ... when the anti-matter elements touch matter elements they annihilate each other. The total combined mass of both elements are released in a spectacular blast of energy. Electrons and positrons come together and vanish into high-energy gamma rays (plus a certain number of harmless neutrinos, which pass through whole planets without effect). Hitting ordinary matter, 1 kg of anti-matter explodes with the force of up to 43 million tons ... simply be annihilated. A proton and anti-proton (baryon number -1) can join together in an annihilation of both. The two heavy particles meet in a flare of energy and vanish, their mass converted to high-energy radiation wile their opposite charges and baryon numbers cancel out. We can make antiprotons in the laboratory by turning this process round, using a particle accelerator to smash protons together at such enormous ...
- 3035: Purple Loosestrife
- ... as a method of control has proven redundant against mature plants. Adult purple loosestrife plants can survive in water levels of 90cm. Flooding does however affect immature plants but the water levels must be extremely high and it appears to take several years to have an appreciable affect in the reduction. Unfortunately flooding will also have a serious effect on native flora and fauna. Cultural control is both labor intensive and ... and the USA but no herbicides have been accepted for use in Canada. In the USA, Rodeo, See 2 and 4-D have been registered for use but there is limited benefit compared to the high cost and temporary effectiveness. Canada has been testing Triclopyr amine, which is a broad leaf herbicide, that can be used for control of purple loosestrife. Researchers feel that it is an effective and safe product ... 50%." (DeClerk - Float 1992, 10) Similar to purple loosestrife, the H. Transversouittatus is easily adapted and can withstand prolonged periods of flooding. The larvae do not feed off the roots when the water levels are high, they go into diapause until the roots dry out then they resume feeding. This weevil has only one natural enemy, the Mymarid egg but this enemy is not parasitic and has little impact on ...
- 3036: Mars
- ... Water at 0.03%; and Neon at 0.00025 %. Martian air contains only about 1/1,000 as much water as our air, but even this small amount can condense out, forming clouds that rise high in the atmosphere or swirl around the slopes of towering volcanoes. Local patches of early morning fog can form in valleys. At the Viking Lander 2 site, a thin layer of water frost covered the ... observed by the Viking landers and the Mars Pathfinder Rover are generally agreed to be volcanic in origin. Tharsis is the largest volcanic region on Mars. It is approximately four thousand kilometers across, ten kilometers high, and contains twelve large volcanoes. The largest volcanoes in the Tharsis region are four shield volcanoes named Ascraeus Mons, Pavonis Mons, Arsia Mons, and Olympus Mons. The Tharsis Montes (Ascraeus, Pavonis, and Arsia) are located ... The largest of the volcanoes in the Tharsis region, as well as all known volcanoes in the solar system, is Olympus Mons. Olympus Mons is a shield volcano 624-km in diameter and 25-km high. A caldera 80-km wide is located at the summit of Olympus Mons. To compare, the largest volcano on earth is Mauna Loa. Mauna Loa is a shield volcano 10 km high and 120 ...
- 3037: Affirmative Action
- ... in several cases throughout the Americans history and the case that I will be referring to is Regents of the University of California. In 1978, Allan Bakke, a white male, who applied to the Medical School of the University of California medical school, was rejected even though his grade point average were higher than most of the applicants. he claimed being a victim of "reverse discrimination" and sued. In a close decision, the Court ruled that schools might ... not enforce a rigid quota system if whites are not allowed to compete equally. With the fact that applicants that were admitted with the special admissions program had lower scores, Bakke alleged that the Medical School’s special admissions program operated to exclude him from the school on the basis of his race. Affirmative action is very good when looking at who benefits from the outcome. Take a closer look ...
- 3038: Life of William Shakespeare
- ... was born in Stratford in 1564. He was one of eight children. The Shakespeare's were well respected prominent people. When William Shakespeare was about seven years old, he probably began attending the Stratford Grammar School with other boys of his social class. Students went to school year round attending school for nine hours a day. The teachers were strict disciplinarians. Though Shakespeare spent long hours at school, his boyhood was probably fascinating. Stratford was a lively town and during holidays, it was known to ...
- 3039: Leadership In Movie
- ... enables him to efficiently lead and subsequently follow through any potential battled plan without much opposition. William Wallace's behavior has a direct impact on the consequences of others' behavior. In other words, he has high locus of control. As you can see towards the end of the film, William Wallace illustrates a good example of a classical leadership trait. His courageous determination to show no pain throughout his public torture ... openly declares war against the English and meets with the English King to offer a truce. Though risk taking in the end leads to his own demise he was seen to have shown an extremely high level of risk propensity. William always maintained that every individual should have their own individual freedom and not be controlled by the self-appointed English nobles. This indicates his high level of self-esteem. Coupled with his self-efficacy, these two qualities induced in him the belief that he had the ability to go against the unfairness offered by the medieval English system. William ...
- 3040: The Importance of Literacy
- ... job-scene. This often means gathering new skills and knowledge from printed material, whether instruction manuals, computer programs, or classroom training (text books). It is quite commonly the case that highly skilled jobs require a high level of literacy. Therefore, literary skill level is an important factor in predicting an individual's economic success. It will affect an individual's income, their employment stability and whether they even receive employment opportunities ... newspapers and magazines. Knowing current news about what is going on in this ever changing world of ours is the key to staying ahead. Another thought to ponder is this, we rely on those with high literacy levels to record and document findings and happenings for future generations to reflect on. These writings would most likely be dull and inaccurate or would not exist at all without our current levels of ... first time have trouble reading and writing, low literacy is part of a constellation of problems that can limit choices in life and thus lead people to criminal activity" (20). Somebody in possession of a high level of literacy will most likely be well informed and tend to make wiser decisions. By obtaining this level of literacy they have also gathered a large vocabulary giving them many words to choose ...
