This is a work that I made in 10th grade about Kant and his theory. Portuguese version available. I hope you like it and share it.
P.S.: In the biography, instead of actually saying it, we did a little role playing of an interview to the philosopher in which on member is the interviewer and the other is Kant. While we were doing the interview the following songs were playing:
- U Can't Touch This
- Just give me a Reason (for the more emotional part)
When it's done well, it has a great impact in the class room. The script is at the end of the presentation.
Hope you like it and please share.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
1. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) is
widely acknowledged by
philosophers of all persuasions to
have been one of the greatest
thinkers of all time. He is also
notorious for being one of the
most difficult to understand.
The complexity of his prose,
however, is due not to any willful
obscurantism. In reading Kant,
one is aware of a thinker
struggling to clothe in language
ideas of the very highest level of
complexity and profundity.
2. Born in 1724, Kant lived his entire life in the East
Prussian town of Königsberg. He never married, though
was a popular man who by all accounts led a life of the
utmost order and regularity...
so regular in his habits that locals
used to set their watches by him on
his daily walk
3. Kant said we constitute the world of our experience through
basic, universal categories of the understanding .
Synthesis: the act of putting different representations
together, and of grasping what is manifold in them in one
act of knowledge.
• Considered pure if the manifold is not empirical.
• Synthesis is what first gives rise to knowledge, i.e. it is
not analysis.
• It is an act of the imagination.
Pure synthesis gives us pure concepts of the understanding.
“Two things fill the mind with ever new
and increasing admiration and awe...
the starry heavens above me and the
moral law within me.”
4.
5. Kant's Categorical Imperative
"Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same
time will that it should become a universal law."
That is, each individual agent regards itself as determining, by its
decision to act in a certain way, that everyone (including itself) will
always act according to the same general rule in the future.
This expression of the moral law, Kant maintained, provides a
concrete, practical method for evaluating particular human
actions of several distinct varieties.
6. He believed in something that seems like moral absolutism -
his famous Categorical Imperative - but this tiny little man
with a large head was anti-Puritan, kept a good (all-male)
table, preferring to find his female companionship in the local
"Puff" or brothel, the upper storey of a Koenigsberg boarding
house. He lived as regular as clockwork until senile dementia
took over. He died when he accidentally ignited his nightcap
with a candle, a gruesome fact that led Elias Canetti very
nearly to entitle his fictional masterpiece as Kant faengt
Feuer - Kant catches fire. -“A Tribute to Kant” by A.N. Wilson
Sapere Aude! "Have the courage to use your own
reason!" -“What is Enlightenment?” (1784)
7.
8. "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the
same time will that it should become a universal law."
"Sapere aude!" (Use your own reason.)
Do you follow either or both of these Kantian injunctions?
Do you sometimes find yourself saying "just this once..."
and hoping that no harm will be done if you make an
exception of yourself and act in ways that you hope no one
else will act, with respect to some moral rule you profess
such as honesty? Or, do you ever say: I'll just go along with
what my friends or family say, and not question it? What
would you say to Kant, if he scolded you for such behavior?
9. G.W.F. Hegel (1770-1831). Phenomenology of Spirit. Hegel
viewed freedom as self-consciousness in a rationally
organized community... he offered wide-ranging ideas about
freedom, historical progress, the instability of self-
consciousness and its dependence on recognition by others.
Subject matter of ph’y: reality as a whole (The Absolute). Dialectic (thesis, anti-th., synthesis).
Historical progress, ever-higher synthesis toward knowledge of Absolute spirit, mind (“geist”)...
Hegel is a favorite target, on account of his convuluted style and conceptual obscurity, of
American philosophers in particular – James made fun of him by writing while under the
influence of nitrous oxide and calling the results (“his nonsense is pure onsense” etc.)
“Hegelian.”
But another American philosopher, Dewey, was deeply influenced by Hegel’s organic/biological
metaphors (in contrast to the physical/mathematical emphasis of the rationalists). Knowledge
and consciousness grow, on Hegel’s view, through conflict and opposition. Given the excesses
of conflict in human history, this approach promises to redeem much that would otherwise seem
irrational and hopelessly depressing in human affairs.
That must be the meaning of Hegel’s motto that “the real is the rational, & the rational is the real.”
Whatever happens, in other words, may contribute to our eventual progress... not because it
conforms to a pre-established plan in the mind of god, but because out of every conflict (thesis-
antithesis) comes a forward-moving synthesis, and so on and on and on.
10. John Dewey was also impressed by the strong social emphasis in Hegel.
“...selfhood develops not through introspection but through mutual
recognition... individuality appears only within an interpresonal context.”
We all crave “mutual recognition,” and
membership in “something much greater than
ourselves.” That’s the role of spirit or Geist, a
“cosmic soul that encompasses all of us and all
of nature.”
Hegel Society of America
11. English writer Michael Prowse confesses that he had gotten Hegel wrong, and
had overlooked this “communitarian” sensibility at the heart of Hegel’s dense
forest of jargon. “Hegel didn’t regard Geist as something that stands apart from,
or above, human individuals. He saw it rather as the forms of thought that are
realised in human minds...
What Hegel does better than most philosophers is explain how individuals are
linked together and why it is important to commit oneself to the pursuit of the
general or common good” and not just one’s private interest and happiness.
( “My new friend Hegel,” Prospect 8.03).
12. The later Hegel (in saying that
“the Owl of Minerva flies only
at twilight”) implied that
philosophic understanding
comes only when historical
events have already
transpired...
Should philosophers aspire
to change the world, or just
summarize and comment on
it?
13. We all crave mutual recognition, and membership in
something much greater than ourselves.” That's the role in
Hegel's philosophy of spirit or Geist, a cosmic soul that
encompasses all of us and all of nature.
Are there other ways, religious or secular, of attaching
yourself to something greater?
Is it a reasonable goal to try and become so distinctive a
personality that you don't feel any need to find something
greater to belong to? Or is that selfish in a bad way?
14. Schopenhauer responds to Hegel, Mill, and Kierkegaard
Hegel's State is a crock; especially considering he believed the
State he lived in to be the ideal one and that has since fallen. Mill's
utilitarianism is philosophically sound, but ultimately fruitless since
there is little, if any, happiness to be found in this life.
Kierkegaard's all-powerful, all-good, and all-knowing God is
laughable; just look out the window at all the misery that abounds
and tell me where all the beauty and happiness that should be there
is. Life is suffering, and then you die.
