Essay On The History Of Public Education
While Jefferson's "six objects of public education" could certainly have become a benchmark for
what our education system could become, there have been a number of reasons that various groups
have given for strengthening our education system (Hochschild & Scovronick, 2003, p. 17).
Ravitch discusses that one purpose was aligned with Herbert Spencer's thoughts that education
should be "preparing us for a complete living" (2000, p. 27). She later adds a secondary reason that
includes equalizing society and cites Lester Frank Ward in stating that "access to knowledge was the
key to all social progress" (2000, p. 29).

As you read the assignments for Task 1, it was clear that prior to revolutionary America educational
opportunities were mostly dependent on churches, or perhaps paid tutors, and it was only offered to
certain groups of people. In this instance, the government had to step in in order to create a more
educated citizenry for the growing democracy. It also was important for the federal government to
broaden the definition of public education for all to include the less fortunate (ex. freed slaves,
immigrants, African Americans during the civil rights movement, Title IX, children with
disabilities). Had the government not intervened, would that not have endangered the progress of the
country? Unfortunately, it's also important to look forward and realize that something must be done.
Local districts and state budgets are failing education and recent federal policy (specifically No
Child Left Behind) had significant flaws. Something must be done federally to expand again to both
encourage, and most importantly support, states to raise academic standards. It cannot be achieved
without the federal government as, in my opinion, its impossible for us as a nation to succeed with
thousands of local school districts making their own decisions. I am not advocating for complete
federal control, but we must work towards a

Public Health Nursing History
Visiting home health nurses are a well–known profession and becoming more popular as time
grows. The service of public health nursing was carried out on the frontier by nurses under the name
of "Visiting nurse services" which were part of the late 19th century health reform out of 'The Henry
Street House' in 1893, as discussed in the film "Nursing in America – A History of Social Reform".
They held many roles outside of nursing, those roles and missions and struggles will be discussed.
The Henry Street House was opened in 1893 by Lilian Wald who established the phrase 'public

There is mention of the white uniform which brings hope to the people of the street in the film.
These visiting health nurses who spent so much time out in the public often were able to catch
misdiagnosed illnesses. For example, the story told by a nurse named Marguerite Wales about a
young lady, aged 23 years old, who was diagnosed as having a "nervous breakdown" when in reality
she was infected with Tuberculosis. By the time Wales had got the young lady to a facility for
treatment her lung had been completely collapsed. (Abrams, 2008,p.289)
This significance of public health nurses had made a major impact on history. They help shift
relatively unsanitary living environments, diseases state awareness, health education, school
programs for children from little or no existence to full swing participation by the community.
Public health nurses in the Henry Street Settlement initiated awareness around the country, bringing
rise to thousands more clinics spreading their mission (Buhler–Wilkerson). Despite the challenges
the nurses faced, they carried on to care for the sick when the sick could not get care. As time went,
it became so the visiting nurses were in demand as chronically ill patients filled the hospitals,
leaving less space for critically ill and emergent cases. Appreciation for their

The thin–sliced judgment, explained most commonly, is the impression we have when we meet
someone or experience something impressive. In the article, On the Face of It: The Psychology of
Electability, Konnikova said "Those facial cues, in turn may stem from a far more basic impulse,

from childhood and grows up with all the people, and it is supported by the data that in French

is corresponding to the actual election result, which is unbelievable for most people. Since the thin–

mind but makes us more creative. This kind of statement could be illustrated by several arguments.

History of Home Schooling and Public School Education
Education systems have existed since ancient times. Historians claim that there was schooling in
Egypt 5000 years ago. Generally, education is a way of learning skills and information. During the
Medieval Ages religious schools, where children learned religion and some sciences as philosophy,
literature, astronomy and mathematics, were more popular. But the wide use of schools is related to
the development of society in XIX century. Nowadays, these schools are called public schools and
they provide education to all children. After a while, parents and students found some negative sides
of traditional schooling system. They searched for alternative education systems to evade problems.
In the world practice these two systems diverse in several criteria, such as learning conditions and
resources. However, they have common points in benefits of the two education systems.
The most notable difference is learning conditions. While being home schooled, students often study
individually. They are isolated from the society and have lack of interaction with other students.
Some home schooled students participate in social activities and in field trips. In these activities
students share similar and common ideas. Also, they learn, research and improve their skills
themselves. Moreover, in some cases their tutors are not professional in teaching methods, as it is
not an important condition in education system. According to Michael H. Romanowski, Ph. D. of

Since 1983 the New Zealand public health sector has undergone four structural transformations.
With each change there was a new set of organisations to fund and deliver health services: 1983–
1993 Area Health Boards (AHBs); 1993–1997 Regional Health Authorities (RHAs) and Crown
Health Enterprises (CHEs); 1998–2001 Health Funding Authority (HFA) and Hospital and Health
Services (HHSs); and 2001 District Health Boards (DHBs). These changes were designed to
improve health outcomes, increase accountability and efficiency and to reduce escalating health
expenditure. In 2001, 21 District Health Boards were established through the New Zealand Public
Health and Disability Act 2000. DHBs are Crown entities that are responsible to the Minister of
Health and funded via a population–based formula by the Ministry of Health. DHBs are required to
focus on reducing inequalities among their populations, prioritising health services within budget
and providing access to disability support, mental health services and primary health care. DHBs are
governed by an 11 member committee; seven locally elected, and up to four ministerial appointees,
including the Chair. Each Board must have at least two Maori members (they are appointed if not
elected). Under the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000, DHBs are required to
develop partnerships with Maori by developing formal iwi relationships in their regions. Public

Medical History Law, Prostitution and Public Health John Scott, in his paper, "Prostitution and
public health in New South Wales" accurately describes the way that prostitutes are seen in this
particular region and in the rest of the world. "Prostitutes working in public spaces have been
presented as sexual agents willfully engaged in criminal conduct and the spread of contagion"
(2003). This is clearly a more or less universal opinion of prostitutes and prostitution. However, as
Scott points out, in New South Wales, "They [prostitutes] have been made subject to strategic
interventions that have attempted to normalize prostitution and render the prostitute a hygienic
subject" (2003). While no such attempts have been overtly made in a widespread manner throughout
the United States, similar efforts have been made elsewhere in order to protect the health of general
public and promote the overall good. Those who wish to consume the services of prostitution will
ultimately continue to do so, regardless of whether or not it is legal or illegal. At the very least steps
should be taken to make the act of indulging in such things a more sanitary act, comparable to clean
needle exchange programs for intravenous drug users. "The breadth of interventions justified by the
interests of public health demonstrates that the relationship between public health and prostitution is
far deeper than the use of population statistics and outbreak investigations to curb the spread of

recognizes that favourable public opinion, attention and support is not achieved by accident. It
recognizes a great deal of hard work since success depends on ensuring that nothing happens by
chance. This is probably due to the inevitable growing complexity of the world and its
communication channel and our Ghanaian society in particular.

It is only by making people know and see concrete deeds that one can build a good public image.
The importance of Public Relations practice is underscored by the indispensability of
communication in any human setup. However, in spite of this importance in our side of the world
Public Relation practice has suffered certain abuses by those who profess to practice it as well as
those who are supposed to benefit from its practice. While management seems not to appreciate the
importance and its relevance, the numerous publics do not appear to understand it and the
practitioners themselves have for most part been woefully incapable of explaining to both
management and the various publics what the practice entails. In short the Public Relations
profession, its aims and objectives, guiding principles have largely not been understood and
appreciated by the public.

consisted of researching the lives of youth and their families, and educators in nineteenth century.

social history of the time period in question, and most importantly, how the social fabric of society
impacted children. The areas of social history that were of particular interest for this project
included: gender, class, attitudes towards education and its use in regards to moral and social
regulation, and the ideal parent. The project itself involved compiling a detailed list of archival
documents (letters from the Brown children and their friends and family, as well as from the

In 2002 the CDC launched the Family History Public Health Initiative, based on the notion that
family history although a simple and inexpensive form of genetic assessment is an under used but
effective tool for identifying patients risks. It has long been taught as one of the core foundations of
the medical interview, yet over the years these skills have been lost or overwhelmed by the pressures
and time constraints of day to day practice (Orlando et al. 2011). Two of the stated goals of the CDC
initiative are to develop tools to enhance family health history (FHH) collection and to evaluate
whether family history–based strategies work. Primary health providers partner in studying the
implementation of family history collection into the medical decision making process.
In an article published in BMC Health Services Research, the authors stated that bringing family
history back into the realm of medical decision making is important for multiple reasons. First,
disease prevention has the potential to reduce the ever escalating costs of medical care and relies

The History And Progression Of Public Health
Abstract
This paper gives a glimpse into Public Health by defining its meaning, describing its history and
evolution, looking into a key result by way of vaccines, and wrapping it all together with what the
future might hold. The paper will describe the relationship between individuals and groups and how
Public Health is more focused on the group even though each individual is affected by Public
Health. With the use of examples taken from specific moments in time, the paper will go through the
history and progression of Public Health. Links from prehistoric time will show traces of Public
Health before it officially became a disciple. A positive result of Public Health is the ever evolving
technology, use, and distribution of vaccines. Facts and discussion related to vaccines will show the
benefits as well as the continual work to be done.
A Glimpse into Public Health The world is continuing to grow and diversify. Most can remember
back to the history lesson where one learned about the small pox epidemic that spread during the
Spanish conquest over the Aztecs. Today, Public Health focuses on minimizing such epidemics
through research and education. Public Health is a multi–level, complex idea, that many have
dedicated their lives for the sake of the overall health of the Community. This paper is only a
glimpse into understanding Public Health, how and why it became, its benefits, and what the future

special needs student, we need to also assess their eligibility to use assistive technology. If the child
will benefit from the technology, then schools need to provide that technology to the student so that
he can do his best.
Who would benefit from using assistive technology? What types of special needs do these
individuals have? How have we used assistive technology in the past and how will we use it in the

jobs, housing, and other resources. With the simultaneous rise of insane asylums, professionals
increasingly targeted mentally ill immigrants as scapegoats for larger social and economic problems.
This paper attempts to examine the manner in which professionals used the language of mental
illness to redefine immigrants as threats to national prosperity, thereby lending "scientific" support
to deportation policies that jeopardized both the place of immigrants in American society and,
unintentionally, the nation's economy. Public health officials were highly responsible for the
suggestion that the rise in immigrants was directly correlated to the increase in insanity in America.

The History and Public Opinion of Capital Punishment Essay
The History and Public Opinion of Capital Punishment
The history of the death penalty goes back to the earliest civilizations where it was used to punish all
sorts of crimes from robbery, to murder, to different forms of heresy. In the United States it evolved
to just punish murder, treason, and some cases of rape. It has been an issue that has sparked a never
ending debate that goes back to colonial times. The general public traditionally supported the death
penalty in a majority with only a few politicians speaking out against it (i.e., Benjamin Rush, Ben
Franklin and later on Horace Greeley). Once the U.S. gained independence, each state went back

Some dissenters claimed that people who were ethically opposed to the death penalty were biased
because they would never vote to give the death penalty to people who deserved it. Some historians
say that this marked the first time that the supreme court was persuaded by public opinion against
capital punishment. The following statement was made by Justice Potter Stewart who spoke for the
majority, "In a nation less than half of whose people believe in the death penalty, a jury composed
exclusively of such people cannot speak for the community...In its quest for a jury capable of
imposing the death penalty, the State produced a jury uncommonly willing to condemn a man to
die" (Gottfried:60). Scholars and lawyers also thought this would be the end of capital punishment
for good because the courts' willingness to accept people who fundamentally opposed the death
penalty, but this turned out not to be true because of details in the decision that allowed courts and
legislatures to work around it.
The 1972 case of Furman v Georgia was seen as a complete victory for abolitionists at the time, but
proved to be more complicated than it appeared. It said that the death penalty, as it was
administered, violated the Eighth Amendments because it was cruel and unusual punishment and
violated the Fourteenth Amendment because it did not guarantee equal protection under the law

From 1908–1960 it was "Belgian Congo", the world's first privately owned colony owned by King
Leopold II of Belgium. He made money from harvesting rubber. To do this he developed a system of
forced labor in which his army would take captive women and force men to harvest the rubber in the
rain forest. Many women hostages starved, the men were worked to death, there was no one in the
village to plant crops, or hunt or fish which led to famine, which in turn led to disease. Many people
were shot by soldiers during rebellions while others fled to avoid conscription and died in the rain
forests. Estimates are that this cut the Congo's population in half. After the Kings death, it became
Belgian Congo and the government realized this was not a sustainable system and if they were to

The core functions of the public health nurse are three folds; assessment, policy development, and
assurance. The nurse collects data, identifies potential hazards in the environment, and monitors the
health status of the population. The nurse uses scientific knowledge base in decision making about
policies that support the health of the population. In his or her role, the nurse informs, educates, and
empowers the community regarding health issues. To provide essential health services, the nurse
ensures that competent public health and personnel are available. Also quality of services that are
provided are monitored for better outcomes. Health planning that includes early intervention and
primary prevention is ensured. Laws and regulations are also enforced to protect health and safety of
the population. In relation to the core functions, in 1994, Centers for Disease Control and prevention
(CDC) developed ten essential public health services to provide a working definition and guidance
framework for local public health services. They include monitoring, diagnosing and investigating,

Public School district has been under an education reform for the past decade and there has been a
lot of work to bring justice to the students there. That is where I started – and from there I still found

my school and the budget it's district has created, I was able to graduate from high school and attend

He claimed that in every state there should be a communication from the citizens to the government,
because he considered the people as the main part to form a state, in which there is a contract
between the leaders and the citizens. After the death of Hobbes, the British scholar John Locke
composed Two Treatises of Government that were written in 1690, in which he did not accept the
idea that kings and queens had a "divine right" to rule others, therefore he presented a theory in
politics which claims that governments should be created among free people as social contracts.
Moreover, he argued that the leaders got their power from the consent of the governed, and held
their power as public trust, and the people can judge the performance of the government, the
standard he named as public opinion. Furthermore, he stated that the role of the state is to use its
power to control people and protect their rights including life, freedom, and property, and in return
people can rebel against their government if the latter did not protect them. Locke also stated that
the government should be separated into various branches and each branch should have limited
powers that satisfy its function, and give freedom and protection for people against any tyrannical

Ever since public history emerged on college universities in the 1980s, historians have still had
difficulties defining the term. The National Council on Public History's definition of the term stirred
the debate even more. According to the National Council on Public History, "public history
describes the many and diverse ways in which history is put to work in the world" (NCPH 2016).

to address a wide variety of historical issues and to present those issues to a non–academic audience.
As historians, we all do research, we all analyze and interpret our findings, and we all communicate
the results. The primary difference between public and academic history is in the area of
communication––in the audiences that we attempt to reach and in the products that we use to convey
our scholarship to those audiences. an interactive process between the historian, the public, and the

history is a historian's career outside of the range of education, but does public history have a deeper

institution's pursuits of a classically inspired education. As the world approached the latter half of

But the interpretation of religion can escape from the clutches of the temporal world and incorporate
the hope of transcendence and acknowledge the truth that human efforts cannot be inhabited without
true happiness which is found in a religion (Davis & Wadell, 2016). These proclaimed theories are
not restricted to Christianity, rather a descriptive emphasis on education and the importance of
religion is as critical as a subject for a student in society today. Change has taken place in America
regarding the views of prayer and reading the Bible in public schools. Despite the Supreme Court's
decisions, advocates have become more prominent to reinstate religion back into the public schools.

America is rich with history, and the individuals living here are quite proud of many aspects of the
past. Hiding beneath the folds of patriotism though, are ugly scars that cannot be forgotten or rubbed
away. This facet of the past is common in many countries; however people are hesitant to integrate
these unbecoming stories into mainstream history. Slavery and Public History exposes the
inclination to ignore those dark areas while at the same time using that knowledge as a vehicle for
abhorrence and misunderstanding. When deeply rooted, the feelings these words invoke are difficult
to overcome, however Historians can teach us that there is nothing learned from discounting the past
no matter how dark or ugly, and approaching subjects such as the meaning behind the Confederate

public and employing knowledge can restructure people's notions of the past. Information is critical
when it comes to history because without it, opinions mean very little and passions are built upon
misconceptions. Because historians actively deal in the past, they have the ability to be the reservoir
of knowledge that the public so desperately needs. By tackling the fallacies head on, historians and

Although their opinion should be respected, history happens to be the most relevant. The reason

Communication is a big part of leadership, because leaders have to tell people what to do, and if the

from them, but if the advisers feel intimidated or disrespected they will be less inclined to speak up.
If it weren't for journalists prying into Hillary's life, the public would not know how she behaves

The idea of memory can relate to such examples photos, quotes, and how a landscape or town use to

they are interviewing recall on their experiences. The connection between the two has caused me to
realize that primary accounts can be very subjective. About previous coursework, I learned that oral
histories should subjectively view these accounts as the recollection of an event by the individual
may have faded with age. The concepts of memory and oral history have been an active issue in my
experience. One instance that I have noticed when interviewing several Manhattan Project Veterans
is their recollection of dates, which revolve around certain historical events as the Trinity Test. In
one interview, a veteran informed me that he began working in Los Alamos on the Manhattan
Project in 1942 and that the Trinity Test took place in the June of 1945. The interview provides an
excellent example of how a primary source's account of an event can fade over time as the
laboratory at Los Alamos did not open until 1943, and the test at the Trinity site took place in July of
1945. Learning from the interview, I immediately connect this to my prior coursework bringing

Essay On The History Of Public Education

  • 1. Essay On The History Of Public Education While Jefferson's "six objects of public education" could certainly have become a benchmark for what our education system could become, there have been a number of reasons that various groups have given for strengthening our education system (Hochschild & Scovronick, 2003, p. 17). Ravitch discusses that one purpose was aligned with Herbert Spencer's thoughts that education should be "preparing us for a complete living" (2000, p. 27). She later adds a secondary reason that includes equalizing society and cites Lester Frank Ward in stating that "access to knowledge was the key to all social progress" (2000, p. 29). Hochschild & Scovronick discuss the goal of education was to create the opportunities and conditions in the pursuit of the American ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As you read the assignments for Task 1, it was clear that prior to revolutionary America educational opportunities were mostly dependent on churches, or perhaps paid tutors, and it was only offered to certain groups of people. In this instance, the government had to step in in order to create a more educated citizenry for the growing democracy. It also was important for the federal government to broaden the definition of public education for all to include the less fortunate (ex. freed slaves, immigrants, African Americans during the civil rights movement, Title IX, children with disabilities). Had the government not intervened, would that not have endangered the progress of the country? Unfortunately, it's also important to look forward and realize that something must be done. Local districts and state budgets are failing education and recent federal policy (specifically No Child Left Behind) had significant flaws. Something must be done federally to expand again to both encourage, and most importantly support, states to raise academic standards. It cannot be achieved without the federal government as, in my opinion, its impossible for us as a nation to succeed with thousands of local school districts making their own decisions. I am not advocating for complete federal control, but we must work towards a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 3. Public Health Nursing History Visiting home health nurses are a well–known profession and becoming more popular as time grows. The service of public health nursing was carried out on the frontier by nurses under the name of "Visiting nurse services" which were part of the late 19th century health reform out of 'The Henry Street House' in 1893, as discussed in the film "Nursing in America – A History of Social Reform". They held many roles outside of nursing, those roles and missions and struggles will be discussed. The Henry Street House was opened in 1893 by Lilian Wald who established the phrase 'public health nurse', as discussed in the film "Nursing in America – A History of Social Reform". She believed that bedside care should be provided to the public sick ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... There is mention of the white uniform which brings hope to the people of the street in the film. These visiting health nurses who spent so much time out in the public often were able to catch misdiagnosed illnesses. For example, the story told by a nurse named Marguerite Wales about a young lady, aged 23 years old, who was diagnosed as having a "nervous breakdown" when in reality she was infected with Tuberculosis. By the time Wales had got the young lady to a facility for treatment her lung had been completely collapsed. (Abrams, 2008,p.289) This significance of public health nurses had made a major impact on history. They help shift relatively unsanitary living environments, diseases state awareness, health education, school programs for children from little or no existence to full swing participation by the community. Public health nurses in the Henry Street Settlement initiated awareness around the country, bringing rise to thousands more clinics spreading their mission (Buhler–Wilkerson). Despite the challenges the nurses faced, they carried on to care for the sick when the sick could not get care. As time went, it became so the visiting nurses were in demand as chronically ill patients filled the hospitals, leaving less space for critically ill and emergent cases. Appreciation for their ...

Steinberg 2I First Draft, Summary & Synthesis with argument Paper Nov. 1st, 2016 The originate of uncertainty–––– How does thin–sliced judgment compose the society of United States & help us think critically? The thin–sliced judgment, explained most commonly, is the impression we have when we meet someone or experience something impressive. In the article, On the Face of It: The Psychology of Electability, Konnikova said "Those facial cues, in turn may stem from a far more basic impulse, since we respond to those same features as children.." this kind of intuitive reaction is originated from childhood and grows up with all the people, and it is supported by the data that in French parliamentary election. People rate candidates only by their facial creatures and then 72% of the data is corresponding to the actual election result, which is unbelievable for most people. Since the thin– sliced judgment is part of instinct and it is hard for us to change it, it does not limit or stablize our mind but makes us more creative. This kind of statement could be illustrated by several arguments. In Johnson's article Race–Baiting for the Presidency, it talks about the racism used by the candidates to win the campaign. The statements inside another article , Study: Sexist Insults Hurt Female Politicians by Page, hold the negative points about the treating for women politicians.

  • 7. History of Home Schooling and Public School Education Education systems have existed since ancient times. Historians claim that there was schooling in Egypt 5000 years ago. Generally, education is a way of learning skills and information. During the Medieval Ages religious schools, where children learned religion and some sciences as philosophy, literature, astronomy and mathematics, were more popular. But the wide use of schools is related to the development of society in XIX century. Nowadays, these schools are called public schools and they provide education to all children. After a while, parents and students found some negative sides of traditional schooling system. They searched for alternative education systems to evade problems. In the world practice these two systems diverse in several criteria, such as learning conditions and resources. However, they have common points in benefits of the two education systems. The most notable difference is learning conditions. While being home schooled, students often study individually. They are isolated from the society and have lack of interaction with other students. Some home schooled students participate in social activities and in field trips. In these activities students share similar and common ideas. Also, they learn, research and improve their skills themselves. Moreover, in some cases their tutors are not professional in teaching methods, as it is not an important condition in education system.

  • 9. History Of New Zealand Public Health Sector Essay Since 1983 the New Zealand public health sector has undergone four structural transformations. With each change there was a new set of organisations to fund and deliver health services: 1983– 1993 Area Health Boards (AHBs); 1993–1997 Regional Health Authorities (RHAs) and Crown Health Enterprises (CHEs); 1998–2001 Health Funding Authority (HFA) and Hospital and Health Services (HHSs); and 2001 District Health Boards (DHBs). These changes were designed to improve health outcomes, increase accountability and efficiency and to reduce escalating health expenditure. In 2001, 21 District Health Boards were established through the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000. DHBs are Crown entities that are responsible to the Minister of Health and funded via a population–based formula by the Ministry of Health. DHBs are required to focus on reducing inequalities among their populations, prioritising health services within budget and providing access to disability support, mental health services and primary health care. DHBs are governed by an 11 member committee; seven locally elected, and up to four ministerial appointees, including the Chair. Each Board must have at least two Maori members (they are appointed if not elected). Under the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000, DHBs are required to develop partnerships with Maori by developing formal iwi relationships in their regions.

  • 11. A Report on Medical History, Law, Prostitution, and Public... Medical History Law, Prostitution and Public Health John Scott, in his paper, "Prostitution and public health in New South Wales" accurately describes the way that prostitutes are seen in this particular region and in the rest of the world. "Prostitutes working in public spaces have been presented as sexual agents willfully engaged in criminal conduct and the spread of contagion" (2003). This is clearly a more or less universal opinion of prostitutes and prostitution. However, as Scott points out, in New South Wales, "They [prostitutes] have been made subject to strategic interventions that have attempted to normalize prostitution and render the prostitute a hygienic subject" (2003). While no such attempts have been overtly made in a widespread manner throughout the United States, similar efforts have been made elsewhere in order to protect the health of general public and promote the overall good. Those who wish to consume the services of prostitution will ultimately continue to do so, regardless of whether or not it is legal or illegal. At the very least steps should be taken to make the act of indulging in such things a more sanitary act, comparable to clean needle exchange programs for intravenous drug users. "The breadth of interventions justified by the interests of public health demonstrates that the relationship between public health and prostitution is far deeper than the use of population statistics and outbreak investigations to curb the spread of disease" ...

Its original roots that branch from early Puritan schools where the Bible was taught to where education was offered only to the privileged. Most schools had an educational system based on religious teaching methods. The government became involved, and developed an unconstitutional clause known as the separation of church and state. Schools were no longer simply based on training future theologians. A more structural foundation for the American educational curriculum incorporated reading arithmetic and writing. The main focus of schools was from teaching moral values. The American public school ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

However government fundings cause artists to lose their freedom with their artwork. Artists love to express their artwork freely and show off their work. Art is everywhere and anyone can be a artist and no one should be able to take away the freedom of art. Artists shouldn't be pressured by the government to make specific types of art; artists express themselves and their art their own way.

It recognizes a great deal of hard work since success depends on ensuring that nothing happens by chance.

It is only by making people know and see concrete deeds that one can build a good public image. The importance of Public Relations practice is underscored by the indispensability of communication in any human setup. However, in spite of this importance in our side of the world Public Relation practice has suffered certain abuses by those who profess to practice it as well as those who are supposed to benefit from its practice. While management seems not to appreciate the importance and its relevance, the numerous publics do not appear to understand it and the practitioners themselves have for most part been woefully incapable of explaining to both management and the various publics what the practice entails. In short the Public Relations profession, its aims and objectives, guiding principles have largely not been understood and appreciated by the public. 2.0 HISTORY OF PUBLIC RELATIONS "In truly democratic society everything depends upon the consent of the public" Thomas Jefferson. Public Relations began when people started communicating and needed to motivate others. The idea of public relations as a profession is relatively young. Public Relations is a twentieth (20th) century phenomenon and Edward Bernays often accredited as the father of Public Relations.

He got this piece of land because Charles I owed his father a debt. William immediately knew what he wanted to do with this land. He noticed that the Quakers suffered through serious persecutions and beatings. So, Williams set out to create a safe colony they could go to and prosper. Although the Quakers were harshly treated, They did not do common English courtesies. They believed all mean were equal, so they did not believe in bowing to officials. They also did not pay money like taxes, if they believe it went to violent causes like war. The Quakers were well known for their opinion in equality and religious freedom. They allowed everybody to participate in their meetings. This colony thrived and spread to places like Pennsylvania.

The project consisted of researching the lives of youth and their families, and educators in nineteenth century. This research included reading secondary sources to establish a base scholarly understanding of the social history of the time period in question, and most importantly, how the social fabric of society impacted children. The areas of social history that were of particular interest for this project included: gender, class, attitudes towards education and its use in regards to moral and social regulation, and the ideal parent. The project itself involved compiling a detailed list of archival documents (letters from the Brown children and their friends and family, as well as from the Department of Public Instruction) , and photographs (mainly portraits). This project contributes to the fulfillment of Black Creek's new vision enhance the visitor experience by telling them the real stories of those who lived during that time period. This research paper will focus on the education of youth. Education, while not the top priority for children in the nineteenth century (a significant difference to today's youth), still was vitally important in regards to shaping the experience of youth. The education system can also give historians insight into gender dynamics, as well as the value that society had place on youth (and their ideal role). In addition, studying the curriculum used ...

Research Questions "What does it feel like to be a fat person in a cultural context in which fat is reviled?" (Lupton, 2013, p. 67). "How are fat bodies discriminated against, how do fat people feel about their bodies and their weight–loss efforts, what their experiences of moving around in space and place?" (Lupton, 2013, p. 67) "Should fatness be considered a disability?" (Lupton, 2013, p. 67) III.

She concludes that overweight people face a plethora of challenges in everyday life for a multitude of reasons (Lupton, 2013, p. 67–68).

Health History In 2002 the CDC launched the Family History Public Health Initiative, based on the notion that family history although a simple and inexpensive form of genetic assessment is an under used but effective tool for identifying patients risks. It has long been taught as one of the core foundations of the medical interview, yet over the years these skills have been lost or overwhelmed by the pressures and time constraints of day to day practice (Orlando et al. 2011). Two of the stated goals of the CDC initiative are to develop tools to enhance family health history (FHH) collection and to evaluate whether family history–based strategies work. Primary health providers partner in studying the implementation of family history collection into the medical decision making process. In an article published in BMC Health Services Research, the authors stated that bringing family history back into the realm of medical decision making is important for multiple reasons. First, disease prevention has the potential to reduce the ever escalating costs of medical care and relies entirely upon accurate disease risk prediction. Family history has been shown to improve disease risk prediction for colon cancer (Park et al 2009), breast cancer (Gail et al, 1989), and cardiovascular disease (Scheuner 2003).

The 20th century was the single most advancing era of public health in history, changing not only the world of medicine as we know it, but changing public perception of the world they live in . Throughout history until the 19th century, infectious diseases, epidemics, and pandemics were thought to be the manifestation of supernatural forces and little to nothing was truly effective in preventing or treating these devastating threats to society. It was only during the Age of Reason and the Enlightenment that the long–accepted realities of society were questioned and research was conducted based on science and reason that would forever change the world we live in (Kumar, 2007). The science of epidemiology was founded by John Snow's identification of polluted public water well as the source of an 1854 cholera outbreak in London.

An IEP is the outcome of a meeting of the student's parents and educators and of the abilities the student has. The student's abilities are evaluated based on how well he does on the assessments given (Olson & Platt, 2000). John Woodward and Larry Cuban (2001) say that when assessing a special needs student, we need to also assess their eligibility to use assistive technology. If the child will benefit from the technology, then schools need to provide that technology to the student so that he can do his best. Who would benefit from using assistive technology? What types of special needs do these individuals have? How have we used assistive technology in the past and how will we use it in the future?

Rather, these newcomers were perceived as threats to the American population as they were considered responsible depleting jobs, housing, and other resources. With the simultaneous rise of insane asylums, professionals increasingly targeted mentally ill immigrants as scapegoats for larger social and economic problems. This paper attempts to examine the manner in which professionals used the language of mental illness to redefine immigrants as threats to national prosperity, thereby lending "scientific" support to deportation policies that jeopardized both the place of immigrants in American society and, unintentionally, the nation's economy. Public health officials were highly responsible for the suggestion that the rise in immigrants was directly correlated to the increase in insanity in America. In 1907, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published an article in which the unknown author begins by insisting that "furnish an undue proportion" of the insane in the American population.

To do this he developed a system of forced labor in which his army would take captive women and force men to harvest the rubber in the rain forest. Many women hostages starved, the men were worked to death, there was no one in the village to plant crops, or hunt or fish which led to famine, which in turn led to disease. Many people were shot by soldiers during rebellions while others fled to avoid conscription and died in the rain forests. Estimates are that this cut the Congo's population in half.

Hiding beneath the folds of patriotism though, are ugly scars that cannot be forgotten or rubbed away. This facet of the past is common in many countries; however people are hesitant to integrate these unbecoming stories into mainstream history. Slavery and Public History exposes the inclination to ignore those dark areas while at the same time using that knowledge as a vehicle for abhorrence and misunderstanding. When deeply rooted, the feelings these words invoke are difficult to overcome, however Historians can teach us that there is nothing learned from discounting the past no matter how dark or ugly, and approaching subjects such as the meaning behind the Confederate battle flag with knowledge, as well as an open mind, can bring about inspiring and powerful change. ...

James Oliver Horton notes that in regards to slavery, "Americans react strongly to the topic, but few know much about it." Historians have the potential to spark a significant conversation with the public and employing knowledge can restructure people's notions of the past. Information is critical when it comes to history because without it, opinions mean very little and passions are built upon misconceptions. Because historians actively deal in the past, they have the ability to be the reservoir of knowledge that the public so desperately needs. By tackling the fallacies head on, historians and historical interpreters can inform individuals on a variety of topics. Furthermore, once this knowledge is shared, the trickle effect could be ...

  • 71. Should History Be Taught In Public Schools Essay Albert Einstein once said "Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school". There is tons of controversy when it comes to choosing the most important class in public schools. Many will argue that science, math, or english is the most influential subject taught. Although their opinion should be respected, history happens to be the most relevant. The reason history should be taught in schools can be explained by history repeating itself, respecting our founding fathers and appreciating freedom, and having an understanding of our culture. The quote by Mark Twain, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme", correctly describes history in one sentence. There happens to be many instances that history "rhymes." Isaias Afewerki is the acting president of Eritrea, and happens to be a modern day dictator. Eritrea's government has limited their religions to three denominations of Christianity and one of Islam. Two dictators that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Right before our founding fathers signed the Declaration of INdependance, they pledged the following words: "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." THese courageous men obeyed this oath, and much more. The British army captured five signers during the Revolutionary War. Thomas McKean wrote to John Adams that he was "hunted like a fox by the enemy– compelled to remove my family five times in a few months." John Hart's farm was destroyed while Great Britain invaded New Jersey, and he was killed while trying to flee capture.

Investigating Politicians Outside Of Office Examining Politicians Outside of Office Over the course of American history, there have been many instances of respected politicians tainting their reputations because of scandals in their personal lives. With 24 hour news as a normal part of society, the press is always looking for a story to keep its viewers watching. Since these journalists are always searching for stories about big figureheads, politicians are one of their prime targets. Although some people would argue that a politician's personal life should be none of the American public's business, knowing about a candidate's personal life is important because he or she should be held to a higher standard as a representative of America, and because his or her behavior in personal ...

Communication is a big part of leadership, because leaders have to tell people what to do, and if the people don't like the way they're being treated, they will be less motivated to carry out their duty effectively. In addition, leaders have to surround themselves with intelligent people to get advice from them, but if the advisers feel intimidated or disrespected they will be less inclined to speak up. If it weren't for journalists prying into Hillary's life, the public would not know how she behaves when she is out of the public eye. It is important for citizens to hear from insiders that "being on Hillary Clinton's detail is the worst duty assignment in the Secret Service" because the president should be the epitome of a model citizen, in both public and private. We do not want someone governing our country who cannot be looked up to as a good role model. Donald Trump is one example of a candidate who has been criticized for being a bad role model because of how he uses social media, particularly Twitter. In another article posted on The Huffington Post in December, Trump was criticized as being a "cyberbully" regarding his multiple demeaning tweets about other people.

The public history issues that I have come across in my professional experience include topics as memory, oral histories, and the categorizing of archives. For my professional experience hours, I am volunteering at Los Alamos' local historical society, where the organization is currently conducting several oral histories and cataloging their archives. While conducting oral histories on World War II and Manhattan Project Veterans I have connected my experience to issues such as memory. The connection to memory has caused me to form several questions on whether the experiences that these veterans were telling are accurate accounts ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The idea of memory can relate to such examples photos, quotes, and how a landscape or town use to appear can connect to the issue of oral history. The connection allows the historian to help those that they are interviewing recall on their experiences. The connection between the two has caused me to realize that primary accounts can be very subjective. About previous coursework, I learned that oral histories should subjectively view these accounts as the recollection of an event by the individual may have faded with age. The concepts of memory and oral history have been an active issue in my experience. One instance that I have noticed when interviewing several Manhattan Project Veterans is their recollection of dates, which revolve around certain historical events as the Trinity Test. In one interview, a veteran informed me that he began working in Los Alamos on the Manhattan Project in 1942 and that the Trinity Test took place in the June of 1945. The interview provides an excellent example of how a primary source's account of an event can fade over time as the laboratory at Los Alamos did not open until 1943, and the test at the Trinity site took place in July of 1945. Learning from the interview, I immediately connect this to my prior coursework bringing photos of the Los Alamos area during the 1940s to my next oral history interview. ...
