Chinese versus English IntroductionThere is no single lan.docxchristinemaritza
Chinese versus English
Introduction
There is no single language that is used in China, however, there are various versions that involves Wu language, Cantonese and Taiwanese languages. However, the Mandarin of the northern region is the mother tongue to almost 70 percent of the Chinese people and therefore accepted as the knowledge for all the Chinese people. Knowledge is a language that comprises various domains. This involves; first, Phonology, this is a system in which organization of sounds is achieved. Second, Morphology; these are elements that are meaningful and how they have been organized to form words. Third, Syntax; these are the various ways of sentence formation (Lin, P.3). Chinese and English tend languages to employ the above domains in there structures to come up with to come up with effective communication. This research therefore looks at the morphological, phonological and syntactical domains in order to show the similarities and differences within this two languages. Comment by Jennifer Haan: Use MLA citation for formatting throughout
Similarities between English and Chinese Languages
English and Chinese languages are similar in terms of grammar. In Chinese language, a simple sentence structure comprises of the subject, a predicate and also an object. For instance: Comment by Jennifer Haan: Verb form
In English “I wash my hands”
In Chinese “我 Wo (I) 洗 xi 手 shou.”
This makes Chinese grammar appear somehow simpler as compared to English Grammr. For example, the Chinese language doesn’t contain all the various forms that are based on singular/plural (Liang, Para. 3)
The syllables of the Chinese language comprises of three features. The tone, initial and final sound financial. The initial Consonants make up the initial sound while the final file is made up of at minimum one vowel. Some of the syllables contain only the initial or the final sound. Chinese language is composed of 21 initial sounds while final sounds are 35 in number with 413 various combinations? If the four mandarin Chinese are applied, then we are able to get 1600 unique syllables Comment by Jennifer Haan: Word choice
The pronunciations that are close to English are numerous with many words displaying the initial sound. There are many examples of within the initial sounds such as b, p, and f among others that are similar to the English Letters. The only difference is that, from the table, English words are pronounced with a stronger health.
Both the Chinese and English languages have similar word order in their sentence structures. For instance, the two sentences that have been given below have a similar meaning when written either in Chinese or English. They march each other in terms of word by word. Comment by Jennifer Haan: Word choice
他 是 个 好 学生!
He is a good student!
Both English and Chinese contain relatively very few inflections. In case there are inflections that are present, then they are relatively simple. The semantic affixes are used in both ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
