GCHE is scheduled to teach out in July 2018. As the programme coordinator, I prepared a plan to accommodate existing and new lecturers who have yet to enroll in this programme. There will be two more intakes, that is, July 2015 and July 2016 before it is teach out in 2018. This plan was approved by CEC in April 2015. To make it more convenience for lecturers to attend this programme, units in GCHE were taught in both online and offline modes. Lecturers gained through their participations in a variety

What makes a person “tick?” To clarify the word “tick,” it means what makes people do the things they do. What does a person live for? An even better question: what do people kill for? Dylan Klebold was a person, just like anyone else. He was turned into a monster in a span of forty-nine minutes of killing (pg. 83). People now fear the name Dylan Klebold. Was he really a monster? Why did he kill his peers? These questions are answered in what made him “tick.” Dave Cullen shows people a different

The brains of bilingual and multilingual people work in a different way than monolingual speakers and thanks to these differences for quite many mental benefits.

Primarily, the centre of the research on Japanese cultural identity for this paper will be of two very different Japanese cultural identity groups; mixed race Japanese citizens and a selection of Japanese subcultures. Although both of these groups have a definite connection with the English language, the nature of this connection is vastly different.

1. Rumspringa is Pennsylvanian Dutch for “running around”. Rumspringa starts when the Amish are between 14-16 years old, and ends when they have found a spouse. They're, in their Rumspringa period, allowed to do non-Amish things, for an example, they're allowed to drive cars and several non-Christian things. Neither do they have to pray, nor do they wear the traditional Amish clothes. They’re free until they have to make a decision: whether they want to live the Amish life or the stressed life.

Connie's mother is an image of the future Connie doesn't want – the life of a domestic housewife. Connie has a love-hate relationship with her mother

This paper focuses on the authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles, and discusses the differences and implications on children’s later adjustment. In the later section of the paper, it will be explained if the implications can be generalised to Singaporean families. I first interviewed a mother who described a situation when she discovered that her daughter, who was then nine years old, had stolen money from her. She was enraged and scolded her daughter for doing so, and proceeded to ask

Lewis Model Argumentative Essay The essay mainly introduces three categories of countries written by an authoritative linguist Lewis, in order to help readers to reduce culture shock and explore the world’s economy. Of these three types, the first one is “Linear-actives” and the second is “Multi-actives”. The last one is “Reactives”. While my classmates disagree with these three patterns, I am in favor of Lewis. The reason is that he illustrates and summarizes typical differences between different

Although she may not intend to, she limits her daughters by prioritizing their social status over satisfaction with their life choices. With regard to Elizabeth, Mrs. Bennet embodies the roles and requirements which Elizabeth is meant to defy through her free-will and growth as a character. Mrs. Bennet’s image as a mother deteriorates further as she sends Jane in the rain to visit Mr. Bingley and his acquaintances with “many cheerful prognostics of a bad day” (Austen 45). The act alone is not inherently

A Role Model that Transcends Time Hester Prynne changed dramatically throughout the course of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s, The Scarlet Letter. Initially she was viewed as the antagonist and was a destructive character to those around her. After being confined in her cottage with Pearl, she began to develop a sense of who she needed to become in order to efficiently raise Pearl. Hester’s ability to do what was necessary for her improvement made her into a respectable role model for women to shadow. Hester

Task 3.2 Evaluate the process of job evaluation and other factors determining pay Job evaluation Job evaluation is a formal process by which the relative worth of various jobs in an organisation is determined for pay purposes. A systematic comparison of the worth of one job with that of another eventually results in the creation of a wage or salary hierarchy unique to the organisation. Essentially, job evaluation relates the amount of pay for each job to the extent to which the job contributes

Back when I was a senior in high school, much like everyone else my age, I began to plan what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. The way the current education system is in place, the classes we take throughout our elementary and secondary educations are meant to give us a basis in a range of topics, but more importantly guide us toward which areas of studies would be best suited for our future pursuits. Unfortunately, this does not always work in the way it intends to. Using myself as an example

Growing up a Sociopath; Born a Psychopath In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is a true story of a quadruple homicide in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas that greatly impacted the community in 1959. Capote begins his novel by introducing a prominent, well respected family in the community, the Clutters. The Clutters lived average everyday lives until they were abruptly ended at the mercy of a 12 gauge shotgun. The killers were two men unknown to the Clutters, who had two completely different backgrounds

Simulation Theory Introduction Simulation Theory can explain some of the fundamental questions of life that have plagued humankind ever since we were able to use critical thinking. Simulation Theory has logic to back it up, yet like all “beginning-of-the-universe” theories, it has no concrete evidence to support it. Nick Bostrom, a philosophy professor from Oxford University, is one of the main proponents behind the simulation argument. In his journal entry from Philosophical Quarterly’s article

In Kripke’s Naming and Necessity, there are different relationships considered between proper names and definite descriptions (Mill’s, Frege-Russell’s, and Searle’s among others), but while considering these we will look at Kripke’s aswell. Generally speaking, a proper name, i.e., the name of a person or place, is a name which is usually taken to uniquely identify its referent in the world. A definite description is a denoting phrase (this will be further discussed, especially considering Mill) in
