The document contains quotes about learning, history, power dynamics, and teaching. Maria Mitchell discusses the human hunger for knowledge and how gaining more knowledge increases one's desire to learn more. George Santayana's quote warns that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Paulo Freire argues that remaining neutral in conflicts between the powerful and powerless means siding with the powerful. The final quote from Albert Einstein describes the teacher as someone who helps two ideas grow where once there was only one.

CHAPTER 9 Social Philosophy: Am I My Brother's or My Sister's Keeper?
BEFORE YOU READ . . .
Ask yourself how you would decide what constitutes justice.
Those who tell stories hold the power in society. Today, television tells most of the stories to most of the people, most of the time.
George Gerbner
Political philosophy focuses on the relationship between the individual and the state and considers where the rights of one end and the rights of the other begin. In social philosophy we look at a related set of questions that arise out of the tension (or lack of it) between the individual and the community. Living in cultures as devoted to individualism as those in the West, it may be difficult for us to understand that in Japan, for example, it is the group, not the individual, that matters. To be singled out for individual accomplishment is cause for embarrassment rather than pride.
The Issue Defined
Perhaps you have heard some of the following views expressed: If the individual is the significant unit in society, then my attention should be devoted to myself—to getting enough education to ensure a good job and the financial and social rewards that go with it. If things go wrong, I must look to myself for explanations and solutions. Maybe I am not smart enough, or did not work hard enough, or I am the wrong race/gender/age. If other people are homeless, hungry, or out of work, they obviously have some problem, but the responsibility for finding solutions is theirs. Each of us needs to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. Look at the individuals who have “made it” against all odds; they are our inspiration; they show us it can be done. Anyone who does not make it is just not trying hard enough.
A society that focuses instead on the community may look at these same issues rather differently. We heard a lot in the 1980s about the Japanese auto industry, with its high quality standards, pride in product, and company songs that everyone sings each morning with a kind of patriotic fervor. In Japanese culture, it is the group that matters, and the success of the team that makes the well-built car is shared. Not to work hard is to let down the team as well as yourself; your efforts have little meaning apart from those of the group to which you belong. You cannot build a car by yourself, but you can do your job as well as you possibly can, and you can cooperate with the other members of your team rather than compete with them.
A similarly communal lifestyle was prevalent not so long ago in eighteenth-century Europe and England. People lived in individual homes, but there was common land on which all the cattle in the village grazed. Family members who worked for wages pooled their earnings in a common fund known as the “family wage economy,” and it would have been unthinkable to say, “These earnings are mine, and I will do with them what I like.” It was the family and the village that mattered; their survival was the goal, and each individua ...

Universal traits among the world
Throughout the entire human history, people have never stopped debating about the issue of “what universal traits is” . A universal trait is the term to describe that every individual is sharing the same cultural background worldwide. However, for most people around the world their opinions toward “universal trait”are not balanced. According to the author Ethan Watter ’s “ Being Weird: How Culture Shapes the Mind “ , Kwame Appiah’s articles of “ Making Conversation” and “ The Primacy of Practice” , all of these articles are discussing about the universal traits but with a different view of it . Though people may come from different backgrounds, each person has his right to form their own recognition of the world in three ways: education, changing perspective of stereotypes and the conviction of human rights.
Appiah mentioned in his article “ Making Conversation” that under this diverse world, the key to become “cosmopolitan” is “globalized”. However, under the current society, it is hard for people to abandon their own background and fit in the world stage. The way to better solve this problem is through education. Education is the key to unlock the barriers between all odds around the world. “One is the idea that we have obligations to others, obligations that stretch beyond those to whom we are related by the ties of kith and kind, or even the more formal ties of a shared citizenship. The other is that we take seriously the value not just of human life but of particular human lives, which means taking an interest in the practices and beliefs that lend them significance.” One of education's responsibilities is to teach people how to be responsible citizens in any given society. For example , the existence of law is to preventing people from making mistakes.
Since the world has never been this globalized before ,changing perspective of stereotype is necessary for diversified society . “It’s generally agreed that all of us see the world in ways that are sometimes socially and culturally constructed, that pluralism is good, and that ethnocentrism is bad.”[920 ] It is all agreed that currently international interaction play a major role in all society , thus , it is important to recognize people from different backgrounds and places . It was found that where you grew up, and your culture affected how drastically the illusion was seen. Results reported Americans struggling the most to see identical lines. Understanding different cultures and traditions could help you be open-minded in order to become globalized . It had previously been assumed that Western culture was a good basis for human similarities. “the very way we think…makes us distinct from other humans on the planet” (497). The lack of cross cultural research has lead to wide misunderstandings about human kind. Scientists must reevaluate the way they think about the human brain, because i ...

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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
