.... a number of theories. Of these theories Jean Piaget's cognitive developmental theory has been a major influential model since its origination in the 1920s (Beard, 1969 ). Piaget's theory has a biological perspective to cognitive development and focuses on broad, qualitative stages. Another acknowledged theory is the information- processing theory which, approaches cognitive development from a computer accentuated perspective, and focuses on the more narrow, continuous, quantitative changes (Westen, 1996). Though these theories approach cognitive development from different angles, their advancements into how a child constructs thought and thinks are .....

.... are a product of a society’s perception of someone to be praised. To be able to praise a hero, that hero must not only be a marvel but that hero must also be humble. Failings in heroes are only natural, they are human and all humans possess faults. All human beings are born and die with character traits, which can be, at the most basic level, perceived as being helpful or as being harmful, depending on the character’s viewpoint. People are regularly regarded as having traits ranging from the most trivial as being a perfectionist, to the most weighty, such as being a coward. These traits form the basis of human personality and define .....

.... idea of objective reality, which is one's perception of reality. If something accurately represents something, then it is objective reality, according to him. I believe this is a strength of his because of his convincing argument, "If the objective reality of any one of my ideas is found to be so great that I am certain that the same reality was not in me…therefore I myself cannot be the cause of the idea, then it necessarily follows that I am not alone in the world, but that something else, which is the cause of this idea, also exists" (75). Descartes weakness is his idea of innate ideas. It is not necessarily correct to say people have a min .....

.... friends is independability. One should be able to depend on a friend almost as much as they would depend on a family member. Friends should always be an uplifter, a guiding light; never should a friend belittle one's self worth or prove to be a detriment. The first sign of independability can be counted as an accident, but after that, it is not acceptable. There is no room for repeat offenders, because they will ultimately prove to be a downfall. The first time should take away enough trust to build an outer shell against them. Finally, if one allows another to manipulate them for a gain or purpose besides their own, then there is a proble .....

.... be risen in the U.S. is what is important. A general situation that has to occur to raise literacy rate is the situation where an individual has the desire to read and write and does not do so solely because of instruction from authority figures. This certainly is not occurring today, as exemplified by the event that “even a best-selling book in this country might reach 5% of the population� (Castell 38). Perhaps a better way to influence the literacy in America is to examine the classrooms where primary education geared toward literacy takes place. This refers to elementary and middle school classrooms. An examination of what processes in .....

.... This division was based upon the individual business ethics, which, in time, would become more defined with the downfall of notorious criminals like investment banker Dennis Levine (Frantz 44). Oliver Stone’s movie Wall Street analyzes this conflict between right and wrong and gives the average person a more in depth view of how a trader can use inside information to boast more profit. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines insiders as “any shareholder who holds in excess of five percent of a companies voting stock or any officer or director of a corporation or employee who has access to important corporate information&# .....

.... The world we live in today is still man-made, no less now then in the nineteenth century. Eve Zaremba states in Privilege of Sex: "Women's self-awareness as females has until very recently reflected the world's (i.e. men's) image of them; how well their personal performance matched male expectations." As English Canadians began to develop an identity in 19th century society, they mirrored the "ideals" for women of the Victorian period: gentility, weakness, ignorance and submissiveness. (Zaremba, 1974, p. i ) These individual roles, as described by Oneill and Leone in Male/Female Roles: Opposing Viewpoints as the relationship of a man or woman .....
