In 1966, A Statement of Basic Accounting Theory (ASOBAT) was published in the United States. After the publication of ASOBAT, fundamental changes had occurred.

Humanist prefers critical thinking and logic over established doctrines of faith. However, humanism can take many forms and people will mold their worldviews around them to enhance their morals, knowledge, and life. As I have begun to form my worldview and decide what I value in life, and what principles those values follow, I am stumped. I am not sure
Metaphors With the possible exception of completely formal exercises in logic, philosophy is thoroughly metaphorical and largely conditional. Moreover, the purposes served by metaphors and conditionals in it are similar. Metaphors ask us to imagine the world in a new way, while conditionals may ask to imagine a new world. Yet some conditionals and metaphors are incompatible. There are limits to how metaphors can occur in conditionals, and how conditionals can themselves be metaphors. Specifically
When one discusses acts of racism, slander or the stereotyping of a group of people may come to mind. However, the concept of environmental racism is rarely considered. This form of racism positions dominant environmental framing as racially driven, in which people of color (i.e. minorities) are affected disproportionately by poor environmental practices.

Sheila Liming saw this change and stated it like this, “The post-war years saw the banishment of the victorian hourglass archetype - a move which, on the surface, appears consistent with the logic of female emancipation, and with multi-national fights for women’s suffrage during this period” (Liming 109). She stated clearly the change throughout the generations. What caused the change? Because of the horrors of WWI, women in the 1920s rejected the moral codes

From emotionally captivating sermons to the harrows of a Christian school, Richard Wright’s childhood consisted greatly of the Christian church; despite this, Richard never became an authentically pious individual. In Wright’s Black Boy, an autobiographical bildungsroman which follows the renowned author from childhood to adolescence, religion isn’t as central to the story as the motifs of Southern racial relations or poverty per sé. Richard’s main reactions with religion occur in his late childhood
The student who is preparing for preservice or inservice teaching in any field must answer two crucial questions: “What is learning?” and “What is teaching?” The student preparing to teach writing must also answer the question, “What is the purpose and the value of writing?” Writing is a subject area in which the teacher cannot easily state why writing itself is valuable or what purposes are served by learning the “art and craft” of writing, except as a tool for communication in other subject areas
Hailed as the founding father of the Pop Art movement in the late 1950's and early 1960's, Andy Warhol, through his endeavors, brought forward society's obsession with mass culture and allowed it to become the subject of his art. He produced works that defied and challenged the popular notion of what art should be by disputing the "traditional conventions pertaining to the uniqueness, authenticity, and authorship" of art (Faerna 28).

Public Education: Funding based Upon Race Education…beyond all other devices of human origin, is a great equalizer of the conditions of men—the balance wheel of the social machinery. I do not here mean that it so elevates the moral nature as to make men disdain and abhor the oppression of their fellow men…But I mean that it gives each man the independence and the means by which he can resist the selfishness of other men. It does better than to disarm the poor of their hostility toward the rich:
