In the past few years it seems that schools have really lost touch with the discipline of students. With the increasing frequency of school shootings and acts of violence it seems that the students are running the show instead of the teachers and administrators.

Summary Glenn Curtiss was a major innovator in early aviation. He is known as the father of naval aviation due to his creation of the hydroplane (Lawrence, 2014). Curtiss, along with other members of the Aerial Experiment Association, equipped their planes with little moveable panels at the end of each wing called, ailerons. When tilted up or down, these ailerons could increase or reduce lift for that wing (Lawrence, 2014). Curtiss and the AEA were also the first to win the Scientific American trophy

The Anglo-Saxon society was a combination of the Jutes, the Anglos, and the Saxons. It was through this combination that the values of this one culture evolved. Anglo-Saxons lived their lives according to values such as masculine orientation, transience of life, and love for glory. Contradictory to the belief that the Anglo-Saxons’ values are outdated, one will find when taking a closer look that most of the values are, in fact, still present in today’s society.
