.... behavior rather than on the processes going on inside the brain that invoke the subject's behavior. This is just one of the many examples that illustrate this point, and that makes developing a working definition of the term psychology extremely difficult to attain. The range of topics that are considered psychology is very surprising to a newcomer in the field. Everything from determining which parts of the brain are responsible for controlling certain senses to analyzing the influence of society on behavior and development is considered “psychology�. So it is obvious that my original definition was extremely limited, but it has now bee .....

.... laws. Benny Proffitt, a Southern Baptist youth-club worker said, "We believe that if we are to see America's young people come to Christ, and America turn around, it's going to happen through our schools, not our churches"(Beima 28). Russia's offical faith for seven years was atheism; however, today evangelists and Bible teachers distribute the Scriptures in the public schools. In America, whose motto is "In God We Trust", there is no affirmation of that claim in the schools, or public life; In 1999, 37 years after prayer was dismissed in schools, generation after generation is diverging from God and is perishing in iniquity. The prayer issue has ra .....

.... to the teaching profession for the money, or the prestige. Combining educational reform with technology can allow us to maximize the time and efforts of the good teachers. Teaching is interacting with students, not taking attendance or duplicating handouts. There could be many, less skilled, educational support jobs in the schools of the future (Layton 1). There is also a need to provide the teachers and students time together when and where it is most needed. Currently we have very rigidly structured school days. Often this rigid structure will interrupt a dynamic lesson, or leave a student with nothing to do while the rest of the class finishes. .....

.... level of thinking, as Roger Sale explains, takes discipline. Through discipline the students' mind becomes liberated, allowing her knowledge to become "active" (Sale 14). Therefore, by making her knowledge active, the student is able travel past the surface and explore the information in a deeper sense. In doing this, learning does not become a habit. Rather, instead of memorizing material to perform well on a test, or regurgitate it into a paper, the pupil synthesizes the information presented, relating it to other things, hence, learning about the subject. Information, then, is no longer strictly exchanged from teacher to student. It allow .....

.... or more key reasons. One is that they have no female role models to look up to or any famous females in that field to inspire them. Another is that they are often disgouraged by others, usually family members, “ Why don't you be like your mother and stay home and raise the children.� is a common line used. This is most likely because the parents don't want to see their daughter go out and fall flat on her face when she doesn't make it. There is little support from others if a woman wants to go into these fields. Equal opportunities is also a large factor in this, either as a decision maker wether to go into the field or not or cold hard fact .....

.... the fact that public education and technology are not perfect by far, indicates that there does need to some improvements. This coincides with a quote from Does money matter? By C. Wood “It is far wiser as a public policy to spend millions of dollars on an imprecise attempt to educate than to spend hundreds of millions in a vain attempt to clean up the social consequences of failing to educate.� It is obvious that the state of California agrees with this mentality since education does receive the largest share of state spending. California spends 42% of total spending on education K-12.While only 8% of spending goes to corrections. On the other .....

.... is the ability to compete in the job market. Without this many, if not all of us would find it impossible to play a significant role in society. Also included, but often ignored element of education is our ability to interact with others. Every day of our lives we will be required to interact with another person or many people. School provides us with the perfect opportunity to learn how to get along with others with minimal conflict. This could perhaps be the single most element of education. Education also provides us with an education of our own culture. In a school setting the extent of the information often varies depending on which cultu .....

.... you. Other people often find themselves getting sidetracked once they put off the option to attend college, that can only hinder your ability to eventually become a college graduate. College can be a fun experience if shared with friends and people of similar age. By waiting an extra year or two, you will find it more uncomfortable within your classes. The entire college experience involves parties, football games, and drinking beer with your buddies as well as an education. As you get into the entire experience and enjoy college, you will understand and appreciate what a college offers. The ideal time for college is now more than eve .....

.... the difference of time. There are about ten major differences between the two counties. First, the poor looked as an extra child in the family, and extra child to feed and give an education so could be abandoned or not given an education. The rich also didn't want to spend the money on the child's education and would be very selfish. Girls stayed home to cook, weave, do art, and to learn to run the house because of the male dominated culture. Only the boys went to school, and at first the rich boys only went to school. Only men learned to read and write. All schools were private schools and family's would have to pay the school expenses for the .....

.... institutions, and this was believed to be the correct way for society to handle the handicapped. However, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, institutional abuse became a big issue. Newscasts began to broadcast scenes of bed after bed of small children left alone in a crib all day in a dark and cheerless room with no one but themselves for company. There were no toys in the rooms, the children were neglected day after day, and most died at a very young age, much to the relief of their families. These newscasts also told of other horror stories. Finn (1996) writes that children were abused, burned and beaten by institutional caretakers, but the a .....
