Technology and the Future of State University
In the future, State University will be tremendously affected by technology. Through computers, State University's technology will expand. Every student will own a laptop. There will also be a finger print security system installed, and an honor code will be enforced. Finally, the sports facilities and buildings at State University will be redesigned so that they will be state of the art buildings.
We live in a world of electronic writing. In the future, every student enrolled at State University will have to purchase a laptop computer. With this new program, teachers will have to have more education to teach these classes and students will benefit from this better education. The Internet will be available to all students in every classroom. I am already being trained to be knowledgeable of computers. Luckily, this will help me for job interviews. Many classes will not meet in the classroom but rather online in the comfort of each student’s own dorm room. This self-teaching method of the future will interest many high schoolers and cause many positive decisions pertaining to whether or not they will attend college.
Birkerts states, “The fate of the book must be considered side by side with the fate of the electronic chip and screen based technologies”(p.479). Just as he explains, through increases in technology, students will all have access to computerized testing, and this luxury will be more convenient for both teachers and students. Teachers will be able to post tests and daily assignments over the Internet. This will be another luxury for students in the future. These availabilities will allow for grades to be posted via email daily, and this will encourage students to navigate the Internet. Obviously, the promptness of this advancement will benefit the test takers. Getting scores back from taken tests soon after they are checked and graded by the computerized system will enhance each student’s learning experience. This new grading system will not only give the students their grade, but also will list the incorrect answers that each student chose along with the correct answer. The accurateness of the grading system dealing with information pertaining to correct and incorrect answers will also benefit the student while he or she prepares for the cumulative exam. Needless to say, the fate of the book and paper copy tests is slowly diminishing.
This decision was used as a precedent for other cases involving real estate law, specifically the Caveat Emptor law. The Caveat Emptor previously only covered physical complications with a property, but this case made it clear that any condition or stigma that diminished the value of a property could be used as grounds to terminate a contract if the buyer is not informed
Given her centrality in the play, it is striking how little we know about Gertrude; even the extent of her involvement in the murder of her first husband is left unclear....The ghost accuses her at least indirectly of adultery and incest...but he never accuses her of nor exonerates her from the murder. For the ghost, as for Hamlet, her chief crime is her uncontrolled sexuality; that is the object of their moral revulsion, a revulsion as intense as anything directed toward the murderer Claudius. But the Gertrude we see is not quite the Gertrude they see. And when we see her in herself, apart from their characterizations of her, we tend to see a woman more muddled than actively wicked; even her famous sensuality is less apparent than her conflicted solicitude both for her new husband and for her son....Even her death is not quite her own to define. Is it a suicide designed to keep Hamlet from danger by dying in his place?...Muddled, fallible, fully human, she seems ultimately to make the choice that Hamlet would have her make. But even here she does not speak clearly; her character remains relatively closed to us (Adelman 15-16).

...split that Queen Gertrude experiences throughout Hamlet reveals that there is a bigger picture than what Shakespeare has created in the confounds of this play. When people view Hamlet as a whole through the feminist lens it is apparent that females are extremely submissive and lack awareness of their situation. Gertrude longs for acceptance and a regained role in her royal court but is easily dismissed by Claudius due to the fact that he views her as unnecessary and thinks that political and royal matters should be handled by someone more stable than her. In the cases of Hamlet as well as occasionally Claudius, Gertrude acts very submissive and fits the definition of a frail woman very accurately. She does not defend herself and grants away her authority because, like a child, she is only interested in external pleasures and the positive approval of others.
... in turmoil, and rebellions broke out in Poland and Hungary, largely because of the uncertainty whether destalinization meant the abrogation of key aspects of the Stalin regime or merely reforms designed to dress the familiar features of Stalinism in more attractive garb. It now seems clear that his heirs meant to leave intact many of the basic elements of the system. Stalin's method of personal rule was replaced by group rule and more orderly processes of government, the terror apparatus was largely dismantled, the economy was notably modernized, and foreign policy was conducted with much greater diplomatic initiative and flexibility. But the Soviet leadership continued to cling tenaciously to the authoritarian system of party supremacy that shapes every aspect of life in the Soviet Union and to Soviet dominance over the Communist countries on its western borders.
In the opening scene of the movie, the Queen is hysterically crying at Hamlet (I)’s funeral. As a result, this scene adds an impression of sadness and grief not exhibited in the play. In the play, Shakespeare consistently characterizes women as impulsive, simple minded and under the control of male figures. Moreover, Gertrude is very cold hearted and is insensitive to her husband 's death. When she witnesses a situation that causes her concern, she refuses to hold strong in her opinion of the current matter(kinda Awk). For example, when Polonius accused Hamlet (II) of stalking Ophelia, the audience can see the Queen’s lack of backbone. Gertrude 's response to this accusation is, “I doubt it is no other than the main, his father’s death and o’er-hasty marriage” (Shakespeare Act II, scene ii. 56-57). Similarly, Shakespeare adds to this recurring personality trait when Gertrude weds Claudius, Hamlet (I)’s brother. Both in the movie and the play, Gertrude appears to get over her husband’s death relatively fast and goes back to being her promiscuous
Gertrudes portrayal in Shakespeare's Hamlet evokes feelings of both disdain and empathy from the audience. The complexity that surrounds this somewhat minor character causes her to be hated by those who do not care to delve deeper. Through her remarriage to Claudius, and the mystery surrounding her former husband's death, the audience initially may take her for a cold hearted woman who is insensitive to her son. However, when analyzing her character throughout the course of the play, one will find her true affection for Hamlet. Although Hamlet portrays Gertrude as a cold hearted and lustful woman, her unwavering love for him reveals the true compassion she holds for her son.
Throughout the play, Gertrude chief issues stem from her previous husband’s death and her new marriage to Claudius. Though Gertrude lacks speech in many areas of the play, readers can still comprehend Gertrude’s place in society by looking to how the men around interact with her. For example, Hamlet says, “Let me not think on't—Frailty, thy name is woman!—(Shakespeare Act 1, Scene 2, Lines 146)”. Hamlet is expressing to his mother that she is weak! He is establishing his perspective based off his mother’s decision to remarry his own uncle, Claudius. Hamlet is very upset and distraught because of his mother’s choice; he in turn uses these emotions and takes them out on his mom. Throughout the play, Hamlet’s focal point is his absence of endorsement for his mother’s relationship with Claudius. He expresses his beliefs when he explains, “Come, come, and sit you down. You shall not budge. You go not till I set you up a glass where you may see the inmost part of you (Shakespeare Act 3, Scene 4, Lines 18-20)”. Hamlet is speaking to his mother and attempting to open her eyes to what she is blind to. He wants her to recognize the ugly interior he has witnessed since her marriage to Claudius. In addition to Hamlet’s lack of approval, readers can comprehend just how much Claudius actually values Gertrude when he says, “It is the poisoned cup. It is too late (Shakespeare Act 5, Scene 2, Lines
Gertrude’s first weakness, her lack of compassion, is shown early in the play when she urges Hamlet to cease mourning for his dead father. “Do not forever with thy vailèd lids seek for thy noble father in the dust. Thou know'st 'tis common. All that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity” (1.2 68-75). Gertrude tells Hamlet that he can’t spend his whole life with his eyes to the ground remembering his noble father and that it happens all the time, that what lives must die eventually. This is a perfect example of Gertrude’s shallowness. Instead of consoling her son, she advises him to move on from his deceased father. She demonstrates no grief about her husband’s death and no concern for her grieving son. In act two, Gertrude reveals that she thinks Hamlet’s strange behavior is because of his father’s death and her quick marriage. This is a perfect ex...
Coates et al. (2013) used 173 participants from a university, their study examined the role of gender and perpetrator relationship in predicting psychological distress and self-worth of adults that experienced abuse as a child. Based on empirical evidence is suggests that psychological abuse it the most pervasive form of child abuse. The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children (APSAC) defines this type of abuse as “a repeated pattern of caregiver behavior or extreme incident(s) that convey to children that they are worthless, flawed, or unloved” (Coates et al., 2013, p. 395).
When thinking of the effects of childhood events on adults, one might ask how does childhood sexual abuse affect a person in their adult life? The effects of childhood abuse on adults is a subject that has recently gained momentum in the research world. Being an adolescent sexual abuse survivor, this issue means a great deal to me. This problem needs further acknowledgement in our society, so that maybe people will think again before acting on their intent to abuse another human being. The research in the following text can benefit you by informing you of the signs and symptoms of childhood abuse in adulthood, look into the effects of childhood abuse on next generation parenting, define what childhood abuse actually is, and review the influence it can have on a person in their adult life.
These social media networks prove to live up to their claims. For the responsible user, the benefits outweigh the negatives. The user can stay connected to the world at their discretion with accessibility. A responsible user can publicly share and create connectivity from the privacy of their homes. Lastly, the responsible user can engage in many social networking possibilities joining into a world of Social Media Network.
As time goes by, advances in technology will provide more and more avenues for learning by way of the computer. The Internet has opened the doors of the world and unleashed limitless possibilities in research and education. It may be only a matter of time when the classroom is brought online to all children and attending a school classroom outside the home is a thing of the past. Looking back over the last 20 years, I never would have imagined that computers would come this far and impact our lives so much. Just imagine where they will be 20 years from now.
The future of education is very promising to younger generations. From Kindergarten though college many changes are brewing. On the horizon are things like smart objects, full-length online courses, and prosthetic devices designed to equalize education.
Technology has had a large impact on the field of education. The proliferation of multimedia resources and limitless amounts of information available through the Internet has fundamentally affected the learning process. Students no longer search through cards and stacks for magazine articles; almost everything is at the click of a finger. Multimedia resources are increasingly utilized in the classroom to help instruct students. Some professors are making conscious efforts to use new technology, so as to introduce and familiarize their students with it. The significance of technology in education is now being elevated to a new plateau. Education through the Internet, the great equalizer, may make it more widely distributed through the phenomenon of online courses. It is the thesis of this paper that online courses are not an effective means to educate traditional undergraduate college aged students (people from 18-22 years old).
