... into play, but children see the world in their own point of view and are unable to preserve other's perspectives. In the concrete operational stage between ages of 7 and 11, children understand "cause and effect" and are able to see other's point of view. The fourth is the formal operational stage; children are able to abstract thought, to image, to fantasize beyond reality. According to George H. Mead, self is shaped not at birth but developed during the growth of social experience. Using the communication of symbol, imaging the opponent's situation, taking other people's role, we can social and interact with others. Mead also argue that people are social obje ...

... Colonial leaders who felt strongly about the public school movement, such as Noah Webster, Horace Mann, and Henry Barnard, devoted much of their time to convincing citizens of the importance of education. The insight and dedication of colonial leaders to the movement for tax-supported public schools has lead to the triumph over opposition from American citizens and has resulted in the expansion of public education. As time progressed, the need for free public education became more evident. A law was passed giving all adult white males the right to vote, but many of these men were uneducated and lacked the knowledge needed to make an informed decision when vo ...

... from England. Up until that time, Ireland was occupied and ruled from Britain. The occupation had begun hundreds of years before, but from the end of the 18th century, a distinct Irish nationalism began to evolve. From 1801 onwards, Ireland had no Parliament of it's own. It was ruled by the Parliament in Britain which consisted of the House of Commons and House of Lords. Meanwhile, in the 1840's, a small group formed out of the Young Ireland movement. The leader, Thomas Davis, expressed a concept of nationality embracing all who lived in Ireland regardless of creed or origin. A small insurrection in 1848 failed, but their ideas influenced the coming generations. T ...

... by fathering the mother and child with a welfare check each month. The problem still does not become resolved, and the government continues to fork over our money to the young families. Next, to even begin to come up with a solution to this problem, one must identify the cause of it. Is irresponsibility of young adults the only reason for this growing problem? Why are more and more teenagers becoming pregnant as time goes on? And why hasn't this been such a big problem thirty years ago? All deserving speculation, there are many possible reasons why teenage Americans are becoming unwed mothers. First of all, today's kids are not being taught morality like t ...

... The third level is the moral level. It is the message behind the story. This level teaches us a lesson that we should use in our lives. The fourth and final level is the anagogical level. This is the level that is the sense beyond. It is not only literally true but shows a truth of greater glory and truth of the spirit. Dante used the example: “...in the departure of the people of Israel from Egypt, Judea was made holy and free. [7] For even though the literal truth of this passage is clear, what it means spiritually is no less true, that in the departure of the soul from sin, it is made holy and free.” [8] The doctor lives in a better-than-average home in ...

... production. The manufacturing of a silicon chip starts when silica, the main component of sand, is heated with carbon which makes 98 percent pure silicon. This is then dissolved in hydrochloric acid. The resulting liquid is fractionally distilled to separate almost all of the impurities.The remaining liquid is then heated in a hydrogen tmosphere, which produces the purest silicon possible. This silicon, however, is in the form of many crystals of different sizes and orientations. This silicon goes through the Czochralski pulled crystal process in which it is melted in a large crucible into which a probe, tipped with a small seed crystal is immersed. Silicon atoms ...

... depth of it's directories are unmatched (Essex pg 74). Like the other portals it is paid for by mostly advertisement. You can track stock quotes and mutual funds in real-time. The next portal to look at is Excite, which like Yahoo has a very good and easy to use directory. The one thing which caught my eye about Excite was when you typed in a search, it would just shootout a list of links, but would also show tables and images as well. You can also track stocks with a Charles Schwab module. Just like the other 2 portals you can make your own homepage. Overall, I think Excite is very similar to Yahoo, although it is full of a lot of commercial jargon. One t ...
