Building Blocks Of Education Rabindranath Tagore By...

Education is one of building blocks of human civilization; its importance is self-evident. People are still exploring the importance of education and the best way of learning today. For example, one individual strongly supports the building blocks of education: Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore was considered to be one of India’s most important figures. In his article, â€Å"To People†, he illustrates his perception of education: a school should work with the natural curiosity of a child’s mind to stimulate creativity and understanding. Students should get into nature to not only experience, but learn from natural world. Tagore states, â€Å"The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all†¦show more content†¦However, I believe both education systems have advantages and disadvantages, so I’m going to talk about these advantages and disadvantages in this paper. I think one of the advantag es of the U.S education system is that students have freedom. Not the freedom of loafing the day, but freedom of choosing their own futures. China and United States have completely different political systems, which bring the differences in many aspects. The United States is a multi-racial society and a nation of immigrants, the inclusiveness and openness of the Unites States’ society appeals a large number of people to come to the United States, which ensures the U.S population grow steadily and keep dominating the global economy. The United States constitution requires that all kids be given equal educational opportunity no matter what their race, ethnic background, religion, or sex, or whether they are rich or poor, citizen or non-citizen. The value based on the United States constitution brings the freedom and the right to every individual. This real freedom comes from the deep heart of every kid, this is completely mind free and it leads every people to pursue their own dreams. The other advantage can be reflected in the U.S. higher education.

This would be the basis of his lifelong research and thinking about mental health and human potential. He wrote extensively on the subject, borrowing ideas from other psychologists but adding significantly to them, especially the concepts of a hierarchy of needs, metaneeds, metamotivation, self-actualizing persons and peak experiences. After a near-fatal heart attack in 1967, Maslow believes that the rest of his life would be short. He saw himself as a psychological pioneer; widely explore new areas of human experience that investigators would show in detail later.

Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was a desperate battle in the spring of 1943 between Jewish fighters in Warsaw, Poland, and their Nazi oppressors. The encircled Jews, armed only with pistols and improvised weapons, fought valiantly and were able to hold off the vastly better armed German troops for four weeks. The uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto marked the largest act of resistance against the Nazis in occupied Europe. While many details of the fighting did not become known until after the end of World War II, the uprising became an enduring inspiration, a potent symbol of Jewish resistance against the brutality of Nazi rule. Fast Facts: The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Significance: First open armed uprising against Nazi rule in occupied EuropeParticipants: Approximately 700 Jewish fighters, lightly armed with pistols and homemade bombs, desperately fighting against more than 2,000 Nazi SS troopsUprising Began: April 19, 1943Uprising Ended: May 16, 1943Casualties: SS commander who suppressed the uprising claimed more than 56,000 Jews were killed, and 16 German troops were killed (both questionable numbers) The Warsaw Ghetto In the years before World War II, Warsaw, the capital of Poland, was known as a center for Jewish life in Eastern Europe. The Jewish population of the metropolis was estimated at close to 400,000, about a third of Warsaws overall population. When Hitler invaded Poland and World War II began, the citys Jewish residents faced a dire crisis. The ruthlessly anti-Semitic policies of the Nazis arrived with the German troops who triumphantly marched through the city. By December 1939, the Jews of Poland were required to wear the yellow star on their clothing. They had property, including radios, confiscated. And the Nazis began requiring them to perform forced labor. Captured Jewish civilians who participated in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising are marched out of the city by Nazi troops, Warsaw, Poland, April 19, 1943. Frederic Lewis / Getty Images In 1940, the Nazis began building a wall around an area of the city to be designated as the Jewish ghetto. The concept of ghettos—closed areas where Jews were forced to live—was centuries old, but the Nazis brought a ruthless and modern efficiency to it. The Jews of Warsaw were identified and any living in what the Nazis termed the Aryan section of the city were required to move into the ghetto. On November 16, 1940, the ghetto was sealed. No one was allowed to leave. Approximately 400,000 people were packed into an area of 840 acres. Conditions were desperate. Food was in short supply, and many were forced to live in improvised quarters. A diary kept by Mary Berg, a ghetto resident who, with her family, was eventually able to flee to the United States, described some of the conditions faced at the end of 1940: We are cut off from the world. There are no radios, no telephones, no newspapers. Only the hospitals and Polish police stations situated inside the ghetto are allowed to have telephones. Conditions in the Warsaw Ghetto worsened. The Jews organized a police force that worked with the Nazis in an effort to cooperate and avoid more problems. Some residents believed that trying to get along with the Nazis was the safest course of action. Others urged protests, strikes, and even armed resistance. In the spring of 1942, after 18 months of suffering, members of Jewish underground groups began to actively organize a defense force. But when deportations of Jews out of the ghetto to concentration camps began on July 22, 1942, no organized force existed to try to thwart the Nazis. The Jewish Fighting Organization WARSAW, POLAND: Picture taken in July 1944 shows insurgents fighting in the streets of Warsaw during the Warsaw Uprising. AFP / Getty Images Some leaders in the ghetto argued against fighting the Nazis, as they assumed it would lead to reprisals which would kill all the residents of the ghetto. Resisting the calls for caution, the Jewish Fighting Organization was founded on July 28, 1942. The organization became known as the ZOB, the acronym for its name in Polish. The first wave of deportations from the ghetto ended in September 1942. Approximately 300,000 Jews had been removed from the ghetto, with 265,000 sent to the Treblinka death camp. Approximately 60,000 Jews remained trapped within the ghetto. Many of those left were young people who were angry that they hadnt been able to do anything to protect family members who had been sent to the camps. Throughout late 1942, the ZOB became energized. Members were able to link up with the Polish underground movement and obtain some pistols and ammunition to augment the small number of pistols already in their possession. The First Fighting On January 18, 1943, while the ZOB was still trying to plan and organize, the Germans launched another wave of deportations. The ZOB saw a chance to strike at the Nazis. A number of fighters armed with pistols slipped into a group of Jews being marched to an embarkation point. When a signal was given, they fired on the German troops. It was the first time Jewish fighters had attacked the Germans inside the ghetto. Most of the Jewish fighters were shot and killed on the spot, but many of the Jews rounded up for deportation scattered in the chaos and went into hiding in the ghetto. That action changed attitudes in the ghetto. Jews refused to listen to shouted orders to come out of their houses and scattered fighting continued for four days. At times Jewish fighters ambushed Germans in the narrow streets. The Germans were able to round up about 5,000 Jews for deportation before calling off the action. The Uprising Following the January battles, the Jewish fighters knew the Nazis might attack at any time. To meet the threat, they stayed on constant alert and organized 22 fighting units. They had learned in January to surprise the Nazis whenever possible, so ambush spots were located from which Nazi units could be attacked. A system of bunkers and hideouts for fighters was established. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began on April 19, 1943. The local commander of the SS had become aware of the Jewish fighters organizing in the ghetto, but he was afraid to inform his superiors. He was removed from his job and replaced with an SS officer who had fought on the Eastern Front, Jurgen Stroop. SS Commander Jurgen Stroop (center right) in the Warsaw Ghetto.   Getty Images Stroop sent a force of about 2,000 battle-hardened SS soldiers into the ghetto. The Nazis were well-armed, and even employed tanks at times. They faced off against approximately 700 young Jewish fighters, who had no military experience and were armed with pistols or homemade gasoline bombs. The fighting continued for 27 days. The action was brutal. The ZOB fighters would engage in ambushes, often using the cramped streets of the ghetto to their advantage. SS troops would be lured into alleys and attacked with Molotov cocktails, as the Jewish fighters disappeared into secret passages dug into cellars. The Nazis employed a tactic of vicious annihilation, destroying the ghetto building by building using artillery and flamethrowers. Most of the Jewish fighters were eventually killed. A key leader of the ZOB, Mordecai Anielewicz, was trapped, along with other fighters, in a command bunker at 18 Mila Street. On May 8, 1943, along with 80 other fighters, he killed himself rather than be taken alive by the Nazis. A few fighters managed to escape the ghetto. A woman who fought in the uprising, Zivia Lubetkin, along with other fighters, traveled through the citys sewer system to safety. Led by one of the ZOB commanders, Yitzhak Zuckerman, they escaped to the countryside. After surviving the war, Lubetkin and Zuckerman married and lived in Israel. Most of the Jewish fighters did not survive the fighting in the ghetto, which lasted for nearly a month. On May 16, 1943, Stroop announced that the fighting had ended and more than 56,000 Jews had been killed. According to Stroops numbers, 16 Germans were killed and 85 wounded, but those numbers are believed to be very low. The ghetto was a ruin.

Galerie Bilderwelt  /  Getty Images Aftermath and Legacy The full story of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising did not emerge until after the end of World War II. Yet some accounts did leak. On May 7, 1943, as the fighting was still raging, a brief wire service dispatch in the New York Times was headlined, Battle Is Reported in Warsaws Ghetto; Poles Say Jews Have Fought Nazis Since April 20. The article mentioned that Jews had converted their homes into forts and barricaded shops and stores for defense posts... Two weeks later, May 22, 1943, an article in the New York Times was headlined, Jews Last Stand Felled 1,000 Nazis. The article mentioned that the Nazis had used tanks and artillery to achieve the final liquidation of the ghetto. In the years after the war, more extensive accounts emerged as survivors told their stories. The SS commander who attacked the Warsaw Ghetto, Jurgen Stroop, was captured by American forces at the end of the war. He was prosecuted by the Americans for killing prisoners of war, and was later transferred to Polish custody. The Poles put him on trial for crimes against humanity related to his attack on the Warsaw Ghetto. He was convicted and executed in Poland in 1952. Sources: Rubinstein, Avraham, et al. Warsaw.

A Conflict in Interest Essay - 633 Words

A Conflict in Interest The year 1910 marked the beginning of reform within the Mexican political order. Proposals such as Francisco Madero’s Plan of San Luis Potosi and The Plan de Ayala by Emiliano Zapata denounced the rigid control of dictator Porfirio Diaz, stating that the existing government offered no concessions to the Mexican people. In an effort to overthrow Diaz, Madero’s plan for revolution declared the current government nonexistent beginning at six o’clock on the evening of November 20, 1910. Emiliano Zapata, however, developed a plan resulting from his own lost faith in Madero’s goals and unfulfilled promises. On November 25, 1910, Zapata offered his own proposal to â€Å"continue the revolution begun by (Madero)† until†¦show more content†¦Emiliano Zapata, however, made no effort in his proposal to designate a position of power to himself or anyone else, stating that representatives will designate an interim President once the revolution is ac hieved. Through these statements, Madero seemed anxious to take control of the government, while Zapata focused on serving the needs and rights of all the Mexican people. In maintaining an illusion of democracy, Madero stated in his Plan that the new government would collect loans (forced and voluntary) to pay the debt caused by the revolution, and that these loans would be carefully documented and repaid. Just as Diaz had done in his dictatorship, Madero took from the poor in order to pay for the actions of an elite group, all while upholding the image that he was carrying out his plan with the Mexican people in mind. His Plan stated, â€Å"The most severe penalties will be applied to the soldiers who sack a town or who kill defenseless prisoners.† This statement was one of few that demonstrate concern for the â€Å"defenseless† peasants.

John Steinbeck s Of Mice And Men - 1312 Words

Death is inevitable to every person. However, death arrives to people at different stages of their lives. People may bring death upon themselves because of their actions, or an animal may be killed of its uselessness. In S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, there are three major deaths occurring in the novel: Bob, Johnny, and Dally. Similarly, in John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, there are also three major deaths of Candy’s dog, Curley’s wife, and Lennie. The Outsiders is a story depicting the life of Ponyboy Curtis, who is struggling to find his place in the world while battling the rival gang, the Socs. Of Mice and Men is a story of two migrant workers, George and Lennie, who are bound together and share the dream of one day owning their own†¦show more content†¦11 Outsiders) As Ponyboy is being drowned by a group of Socs, Johnny takes immediate action and proceeds to stabbing and killing the leader. â€Å"I had to. They were drowning you, Pony. They might have killed you. And they had a blade...they were gonna beat me up†¦Ã¢â‚¬  (pg. 57 Outsiders) Johnny and Ponyboy flee from town after Johnny commits murder, and Johnny eventually dies because of events happening after the incident. Similarly, Lennie, a mentally disabled character from Of Mice and Men, holds onto his dream of owning and being able to tend his rabbits. When Curley’s wife begins to scream after Lennie pulls on her hair too tightly, Lennie begins to shake her, ultimately breaking her neck. Lennie didn’t mean any harm, he was paranoid that Curley’s wife was trying to get him in trouble, causing him to never be able to tend his rabbits. Consequently, Lennie gets killed by his best friend George while imagining his future farm happily, so he wouldn’t die cruelly at the hands of Curley. Johnny’s reason for murder was more justifiable than Lennie’s; Ponyboy was in eminent danger whereas Lennie wasn’t. However, they both killed someone who they thought would try to make their lives worse. Bob was the leader of the Socs and was thought to spend all his free time beating up Greasers. George had warned Lennie about Curley’s wife, saying that all she does is cause trouble. Both of their deaths represent innocence, even though they both committed murder. Johnny is the

Total Quality Management Of Domino’s Samples †MyAssignmenthelp.com

Question: Discuss about the Total Quality Management Of Dominos. Answer: Introduction Dominos Pizza is a large fast food chain network and it has various outlets in Australian states also. They are popular across the globe for serving and delivering the pizza to its customers. The Dominos company is working on the franchise basis and they have the maximum number of franchise stores across the globe. In Australia only, they have reached to the number of 2000 stores. They have adopted the technique of providing adequate quality goods and services in order to develop goodwill in the fast food industry and along with this, they have been continuously working on improving the quality services and the products to satisfy the customer' requirements and to meet the customers' expectations. Being the manager of the organization, it was analyzed that certain issues are being faced by the organization which is resulting in the declining performance of the organization. In order to avoid these issues, I suggested the upper-level management to adopt certain quality improvement techniques for increasing the efficiency of the organization as well as to match up with the customers' expectations. Survey Plan-do-act-check Under this report, analysis of the issues faced by the organization will be discussed and along with the analysis of the issues, adequate options will be adopted to resolve those issues to attain the organizational objectives. Discussion on the quality management techniques will also be performed under this report (refer 3). Challenges faced by Dominos The basic issue was the late delivery. Domino's provides its customers the service of delivering pizzas and other stuff from their menu to the customers' doorstep without any additional cost. For performing this function, the certain duration of time is promised to the customers to get the order delivered. But organizational delivery people were failing to perform the same in the particular period of time due to high traffic in the city areas (He, Zha Li, 2013). Another big issue which was Domino's was facing is improper control over the management of inventory and other things. It was leading to the issues like the waste generation. As they are dealing with the perishable type of goods hence; adequate utensils and techniques are used to preserve them for longer usage. Due to lack of management control, an organization was struggling with the decreasing profit, complaints from customers regarding the quality of products, etc. Selection of techniques First technique implemented in the workplace of the Domino's surveys and this is the best and most effective technique for increasing the productivity and efficiency of the organization. The major reason behind an adaptation of survey technique is to determine the precise challenges faced by the employees and the customers (Mitra, 2016). This will help the organizational management to understand the customers and employees requirements and adequate set of methods could be implemented in the organization in order to achieve the desired goals and objectives of the organization. Randomly customers were asked to share their views in relevance with the services and products offered to them. Apart from this, organizational employees were also asked to share their reviews in order to improve the functionalities of the organization (refer 2). Plan-do-act-check refers to the controlling system. Under this, immediate actions are taken in order to gain the immediate results. Apart from this, plan-do-act-check also helps the organization to reduce the deviations faced by them in recent times (Dale, 2015). As Dominos is known for their quality and the commitment delivery hence; it is the duty of the management of the Dominos to maintain the goodwill of the brand through delivering adequate goods and services to the customers. The organization is struggling with various issues such as decreasing quality of the products, lack of managerial control over the various activities of the organization. Hence, these techniques are adopted and implemented in the workplace of Dominos in order to regain their market image (refer 1). Tools of quality management Above chart defines the survey process used for improving quality of the products and services. This process will be conducted within the organization as well as outside the organization in order to increase the efficiency of the organization. The first stage of this process addresses the issues faced by the organization. After analysis of the issues, customers and employees are asked to share their views in order to match with their executions. One of the most effective and efficient resolutions will be implemented within the workplace for the attainment of desired goals amongst the various views obtained from customers (Nadeem, et. al., 2013). The best alternative for conduction of survey process is the questionnaire. It includes all those questions through an organization is struggling and there is a scope for improving (refer 2). The aforesaid figure shows the process of a plan-do-act-check model which was originally invented by an American engineer, Dr. W. Edwards Deming. This process has been evaluated in four stages i.e. Plan: An appropriate plan is identified and evaluated as per the organizational structure of the Domino's. After identification process, adequate steps will be taken to assume the results through implementation so that adequate plan could be selected (Willemink, et. al., 2013). Do: Plan selected in the above process is being implemented in order to increase the efficiency of the organization. Alternatively, it could also be known as the execution process. Check: Under this phase, previous plans of the organization are checked with the newly adopted plans to analyze the issues as well as to gain the adequate results. The efficiency of this step could be analyzed through evaluating the chances under which organization could match up with the targets set up by the upper-level management (refer 1). Act: Under this stage of this process to rectify the issues faced by the organization, plans selected are implemented. After execution of the plans, adequate methods are also adopted which could provide managerial control over the functionalities of the Dominos (Bishop, Fody Schoeff, 2013). Implementation of techniques Being the manager of the Domino's company, I analyzed the two techniques for increasing the efficiency of the organization and to overcome the challenging situations facing the organization. Following is the process discussed for the implementation of the tools: Survey: In order to regain the efficiency of the organization and to overcome the issues of the faced by the organization, survey technique is adopted. In this technique, customers could share their views for improving the delivery services through providing advanced vehicles and updated tools through which delivery boy could easily get the directions for the customers address. On the other hand, employees could also share their experiences in which they feel struggled. After analysis of all these things, an adequate technique will be adopted to maintain the brand value of the organization in the Australia (Goetsch Davis, 2014). Plan-do-act-check: It was the duty of the manager to gather the information in relevance with the challenges which were reducing the efficiency of the organization. Subsequently, an action plan will be implemented to reduce those implications and the challenges. It was analyzed that after implementing these two tools for improving the effectiveness of the organization, Dominos efficiency has been increased and along with the increasing efficiency, desired goals are also achieved by the organization across the Australia (Taylor, et. al., 2013). Conclusion It was observed from the report that plan-do-act-check and the survey techniques were so effective in reducing the impacts of the challenges faced by the organization as well as the organizations workplace becomes capable enough to gain the desired goals. Additionally, Domino's was also able to control over its inventories and meeting the consumers' expectations. References Bishop, M.L., Fody, E.P.

Political Skills in Control Critical Information †MyAssignmenthelp

Question: Discuss about the Political Skills in Control Critical Information. Answer: Introduction: Power implies the ability to influence or control the actions and behaviours of others. The word authority is normally used for power seen as valid by the social structure. If I become a team leader in my workplace, I would be given several responsibilities which range may from exciting to banal. However, one responsibility which is not explicitly mentioned in any employment agreement is to use this power of position in the workplace. However, being in that position will certainly make me use my power sometimes to motivate and encourage my people, and at times to instil fear in them too. I believe in mostly using my power to encourage productivity among my team members. I will reward great performances, and this is one of the ways in which I will obtain compliance. However, my usage of power will not be limited to just this aspect. There would be times, when there will be chaotic situations in the workplace, employee dissent specifically, where the staff would be unreasonably demandi ng. In such cases, I will use coercive power, i.e. threats of punishment and even give actual punishments. At times this becomes necessary to obtain compliance with the rules and policies of the company. If an employee is conducting some unethical work in the workplace, I will punish him so that he never repeats the same thing and to ensure that this acts as an example for others to follow. Conversely, I will use my expert power when some management decisions are to be taken and I will use my knowledge and expertise to obtain consent to my proposed solutions. Organizational Politics This refers to the deliberate acts of influence for protecting or enhancing the self-interest of groups or individuals which are not aligned with endorsed by those of the company. Here the emphasis is on self-interest. If I get a leadership position in my company I need to recognize political reality in the workplace and continuously develop my political skills. Moreover, if I am not politically smart I run the risk of being fired or demoted or even slipping off my planner career path, unavoidably resulting in real disruptions in organizational performance and personnel charts. I will use my political skills to build networks and cultivate interpersonal relations with relevant parties. I will strive to astutely manage up by communicating with my seniors and keeping the higher-management informed. However, I will not let this double-edged sword hit me because I will also invest sufficient energy and time in cultivating and leading my team. Thus, I would build great relations with my d irect reports and peers, plus with the higher-ups too. Moreover, I will use my political skills very carefully. I will think about the presentation and timing of what I need to say. I will build my working rapports and friendships by gaining support, negotiation, supporting their ideas on public forums and meetings, throwing parties and inviting eminent people of the company and managing conflict. I am well aware of when to call on others and am also ready to reciprocate. I will also use my political skills to control critical information as well as the lines of communication.
