Once the gang has disbanded, he worked as a part timer in a high school garden, then he meets the director of the school who was really in disguise as a lunch lady, and he talked to her how the school is boring because no one is having fun and how teacher are just scolding their student if they don 't follow instruction. Instead of yelling at the student, the teacher should help the student individually becoming successful. During the same time, their was a group of expelled student who came to the school and cause havoc in the cafeteria. The vice president of the school, who got them expelled, start yelling at them and telling them how they are worthless and trash.

Throughout the semester of the school Onizuki was challenged with moral values and patient with his students. They played cruel prank on him that would have arrested, as well as, begin in life threatening situations. However, his moral values is not to give up on his student and care for them, eventually, he gained the trust of his student by helping them overcome their own personal problem at home and issues. How Onizuka analyzes, pursue, and conquering his moral problem is to think of others before himself. When Onizuka talks to the director of the school, he mention his life as a high schooler where his teacher would yell and mistreated the delinquent students and favor the discipline students. In order for him not to become the teacher that discourage students, he must put himself in a situation that could benefit the student by help them be equally as everyone else in the class. There are times where he was at his limit and want to give up on is morals

This story contains an almost equal balance of good and evil, though it also raises questions of what is truly good. It blurs the line between good and selfish or thoughtless. Characters’ actions sometimes appear impure, but in the long run, are good.
Daydreaming that the girls will all be fawning over him, Sammy makes a stand against Lengel and his motive is to receive thanks from the girls for his brave deeds. Yet, 180 degree turn for his expectation when he quits and departs from A&P, “they are gone of course” (835). Sammy may have quit his job and announces it loudly, the girls think about the embarrassment they had before and left Sammy with resentment. The idea dawned upon regarding in this situation is Sammy made an involved mistake. This type of mistake is familiar with nature of a person but take efforts to prevent it. Without distinguishing what is right or wrong, defending from the right side may results a fake vision and the wrong side may leads the person to misery. Along with the depression from the being left behind, Sammy regrets about the gestures that is “[fold the apron, ‘Sammy’ stitched in red and put it on the counter]” (835), he made before he walks out of the doors. As soon as he steps out of A&P, Sammy does not know what to expect or do. All he realized is that he was forced to be a dynamic character when he quit his job and has to put away in juvenile self to go into adulthood. This reveals one complex mistake which is making decisions that has unpleasant outcomes and unable to avoid them. The complex mistake that young people tend to results make is making a sudden
In order to become a well rounded individual you must be aware of the moral problems in society and be able to evaluate them. Respectively, this class has allowed me to do so, through readings and videos, providing my own insight on many moral issues. This class has shown me there are many different interpretations to right and wrong, and hard evidence must be agued to be persuasive. Throughout the course of this class we looked into multiple philosophers such as Kant, Aristotle, and Sandel, a professor at Harvard.
People in society strive to find happiness in ones self, others and their community. What factors are there to obtain ultimate happiness in one’s life? What ethical decisions does one have to overcome to obtain this supreme happiness that every individual endeavours? The citizens of Omelas have a difficult time achieving the goal of making the right ethical decision. In exchange for their ultimate happiness and success, is one child’s misery. In order to live their “perfect” lives the citizens of Omelas must accept the suffering of the child. To make the right ethical decision is difficult, but necessary to end the injustice of the society. Failing to overcome the ethical issues in the city of Omelas is displayed through three different characters in the story. There are those who choose to ignore the situation, those who observe the child in misery, and those who feel that they must walk away. In the story “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” characters fail to overcome the ethical issues in their society, and the reader is taught the importance of moral responsibility and the implications of the difficult task to make the right ethical decision.
This noble leads us to the Noble Eightfold Path which leads to a life free suffering. The path is separated into three ways of practice that is aimed towards the development of mind, knowledge and behavior. The first three paths are in the “Good Conduct” category. The three paths are called, right speech, right action, and right livelihood. Good Conduct says that a special gift from man is the power of speech. This power when it is used right can bring enjoyment, wisdom, and peace which is the most important key to happiness. If the power of speech is used not properly it can bring ignorance, pain, no trust, and disbelief. On the other hand, the right speech is when you can control the abusive speech and its best potentials. When students are taught this Eightfold Path they will be told how they can control words, and phrases they typically say. Being taught how to be an honest person, use polite words, and of course learning how to avoid being a liar, are all part of this learning moment in their life. Next in the “Good Conduct” practice is the Right Action, this is important because it has to do with what we do on a daily bases. Right Action includes staying away from things that may be harmful to ourselves and most importantly others. Lastly, under this practice is the Right Livelihood, this is basically the way we provide for ourselves and others, but especially help the economy. The
Even if he is cruel, it could be for a good reason, even if others can't see it. The author said, “Brace yourself against the corner of the dais and stretch out your legs!” (Munyol 89) This really explains how the teacher is planning on punishing the children for cheating. Even if it could be handled in a much different manner, some of the kids understand what is going on, but others are scared. The author also said, “I wouldn't have laid a hand on you if I hadn't thought it absolutely necessary.” (Munyol 95) This supports my claim because it expresses how the 6th grade teacher is abusing the children because of how the thought that it was ok to assist Om Sokdae. Finally, the author states, “You bent to the unjust power and you weren't ashamed. And the best students in the class too. If you continue to live like that, the pain you will bear in the future is so great, the beating I gave you today won't even compare.” (Munyol 95) This scene in the story explains how the teacher, even after abusing the kids, shows some sympathy towards them and gives them the wise advice of how to change paths and don't keep going down this road, because if they do, you'll only end up in the same situation, but far worse circumstances. In conclusion, I believe that in the story, Our Twisted Hero, the 6th grade teacher is the twisted hero because of his teaching methods, ideas, and philosophies he uses towards the students and how he treats them regarding punishment, and then sympathizes with them afterwards. I believe that he is speaking from
Okonkwo is “a man of action, a man of war” (7) and a member of high status in the Igbo village. He holds the prominent position of village clansman due to the fact that he had “shown incredible prowess in two intertribal wars” (5). Okonkwo’s hard work had made him a “wealthy farmer” (5) and a recognized individual amongst the nine villages of Umuofia and beyond. Okonkwo’s tragic flaw isn’t that he was afraid of work, but rather his fear of weakness and failure which stems from his father’s, Unoka, unproductive life and disgraceful death. “Perhaps down in his heart Okonkwo was not a cruel man. But his whole life was dominated by fear, the fear of failure and weakness….It was not external but lay deep within himself. It was the fear of himself, lest he should be found to resemble his father.” Okonkwo’s father was a lazy, carefree man whom had a reputation of being “poor and his wife and children had just barely enough to eat... they swore never to lend him any more money because he never paid back.” (5) Unoka had never taught Okonkwo what was right and wrong, and as a result Okonkwo had to interpret how to be a “good man”. Okonkwo’s self-interpretation leads him to conclude that a “good man” was someone who was the exact opposite of his father and therefore anything that his father did was weak and unnecessary.
The theme of the short story is revenge. Ha Jin suggests in his work that even the most reasoned individual, as a university teacher could be, can reach his personal limits and commit a crime if his personal freedom is taken.
Though many may interpret Okonkwo as a tragic hero are drawn to him, Obierika deserves more sympathy from the reader than Okonkwo. Obierika suffers just as Okonkwo does under the thumb of the missionaries, but he lacks the selfish focus that drives most of Okonkwo’s actions. Ultimately, Obierika’s venerability springs from his ability to see the compromise that will allow the Ibo to find a method for adaptation to the inevitable changes brought by the missionaries.
From an early age, Okonkwo was ashamed of his father, Unoka, who was unable even to feed his family. The unpredictability of receiving enough food at a young age was enough to inspire fear and embarrassment in Okonkwo who associated this embarrassment with his father and was given further justification for these feelings when he went out into Umuofia, discovering that the other villagers held similar opinions of Unoka. When he was old enough, Okonkwo began farming his own yams because “he had to support his mother and two sisters […] And supporting his mother also meant supporting his father” (25). Okonkwo’s self-reliance was admired, valued in the community where “age was respected […] but achievement was revered” (12); this admiration gave him feelings of security, and the respect of his peers pushed him towards greater self-respect, distancing him from his father. The security and respect became related in his mind as he viewed his acceptance in the community as his life’s goal and Okonk...
This being my first year of teaching I feel there are so many things that I have learned, and have helped me too become a good teacher. Yet I have so much more to learn, I still believe that students have the ability to learn and as a teacher it is my job to find ways to help them to become the best person they can be. Through being a reflective teacher, using professionalism, respecting diversity and having collaboration and community connecting this can be accomplished. When I am having fun teaching the student will have learning that material, this will help them to be relaxed and engaged in that lesson. I feel it is important to connect what they are learning to things that they have experienced in the real-world.
For my assignment I have decided to choose a group which I have just finished taking for level 1 Hairdressing and they have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. This is within my current role as a hairdressing lecturer at Hugh Baird College which I have done since October. Within this group there are a couple of people who have support workers. There is one student within the group who has severe learning difficulties and is a more mature student. She also has many health problems which results in her having to carry an oxygen tank around for when she has any problems with her breathing due to her having problems with her heart. There is also another student in the class who has learning difficulties, she is very clever but just needs someone there for when she needs something explaining. She also has a support worker that comes in to give her support. This student has also been going through personal problems at home and has attendance issues. There is another student within this group who has severe dyslexia. She doesn’t have a support worker but the support people who are in there do give her help as she can have a tendency to give up, not to listen and just needs to be kept on track so by sitting next to a person that does have a support worker she gets the help from them. These three students have all had their level 1 qualification extended for a year were the rest of the group have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. Two of these students may progress on to level 2 but one doesn’t have the ability to be able to do this as the requirements are too high for her. The reason the course was extended for them was because they were struggling with the work that was required for this qualification, but as the col...

In this course I experienced an important change in my beliefs about teaching; I came to understand that there are many different theories and methods that can be tailored to suit the teacher and the needs of the student. The readings, especially those from Lyons, G., Ford, M., & Arthur-Kelly, M. (2011), Groundwater-Smith, S., Ewing, R., & Le Cornu, R. (2007), and Whitton, D., Barker, K., Nosworthy, M., Sinclair, C., Nanlohy, P. (2010), have helped me to understand this in particular. In composing my essay about teaching methods and other themes, my learning was solidified, my knowledge deepened by my research and my writing skills honed.
