Argumentative Essays On Education

Writing an argumentative essay on the broad and complex topic of education can be quite
challenging. The difficulty lies in the vastness and diversity of the subject, as education encompasses
various aspects such as philosophy, policy, pedagogy, socio-economic factors, and more. Crafting a
compelling argument requires a deep understanding of these components and the ability to synthesize
information from diverse sources.

To begin with, one needs to conduct extensive research to gather relevant and up-to-date information
on the current state of education, recent trends, and ongoing debates. This may involve delving into
academic journals, government reports, educational theories, and statistical data. Navigating through
this sea of information requires analytical skills to identify credible sources and extract pertinent
details.

Furthermore, constructing a coherent argument involves critical thinking and the ability to evaluate
different perspectives. Education is a multifaceted field with diverse opinions on what constitutes
effective learning, the role of standardized testing, the importance of technology, and more.
Balancing these viewpoints while forming a well-supported argument can be demanding.

The organization of the essay is another aspect that poses a challenge. The writer must create a
logical flow of ideas, ensuring that each paragraph builds upon the previous one. This requires a clear
understanding of the essay's structure, including the introduction, body, and conclusion. Transitions
between paragraphs and ideas are crucial to maintaining the coherence and persuasiveness of the
argument.

Additionally, the writer must be mindful of the audience and tailor the language and tone
accordingly. The goal is not just to present information but to persuade and engage the reader.
Achieving the right balance between formality and accessibility can be intricate.

In conclusion, writing an argumentative essay on education demands a combination of research,


critical thinking, organization, and persuasive writing skills. The intricacies of the topic make it a
challenging yet rewarding task for those willing to delve into the complexities of educational
discourse.

Essay about Cryptozoology
Cryptozoology
Cryptozoology is, literally, the study of hidden animals. It is the study of such creatures
as the Australian bunya, Bigfoot, the Chupacabra, and the Loch Ness monster. It is not a
recognized branch of the science of zoology.
Cryptozoology relies heavily upon testimonials and circumstantial evidence in the form
of legends and folklore, and the stories and alleged sightings of mysterious beasts by
indigenous peoples, explorers, and travelers. Since cryptozoologists spend most of their
energy trying to establish the existence of creatures, rather than examining actual
animals, they are more akin to psi researchers than to zoologists.
Expertise in zoology, however, is asserted to be a necessity for work in Cryptozoology, ...

With the rumours of dinosaur like creatures stalking the dark corners of Africa, Ley
believed that it was possible the Babylonians had not only heard of such a creature, but
have seen one or even had one living in captivity within their city walls, behind the Ishtar
Gate.

Chupacabra Chupacabra which means goat sucker got it s name from the first reports
of mutilated goats. In September 1995 Madeleine Tolentino and other eyewitnesses
claimed to have seen a creature three or four feet tall, with skin like that of a dinosaur,
it had bright eyes the size of hens eggs, long fangs and multicolored spikes down its
head and back. Other eyewitnesses have also said that it looks part bat, part kangaroo,
and part alien Grey.

Jersey Devil Since the early 1800s, strange creatures have been sighted in the Pine
Barrens of New Jersey, known as the Jersey Devils. Although various creatures have
been given the name of Jersey Devil, from a suspiciously bogeyman like creature to
some water monsters, it has most often been applied to a huge bat like creature of
about three to four feet (about 1 meter) in body length and with a wingspan of between
four and nine feet (1 3 meters). It is covered in brown or black fur, except for its bare
skinned wings. It has a long necked boxy head described as horselike or dog like, with
moderately sized ears; its body bears diminutive forelimbs and
The Dangers Of Self Esteem
In today s society, I believe that there are many possible hazards if we focus too much
on heightening the self esteem of children. One example is that children with very high
self esteem could have a lack of motivation in regards to academic assignments and
exams. They may not feel the need to study or put in the work to try their best due to the
fact that they have the mentality of I m so smart, so I don t need to study. Another
example is that high self esteem could lead children to losing respect towards authority.
When children become too arrogant, they develop this know it all attitude. They feel that
they are better than the authority figure and there is no reason to respect them. All in all,
too much focus on heightening self esteem can cause children to lack high goals and
expectations and influence them to disrespect authority figures. Instead, we should focus
on developing a secure self esteem in which children feel comfortable and happy about
themselves. We should teach children the idea that not everyone is perfect and that they
should accept their flaws. When children realize that they are not perfect and can still
make improvement, they can set goals for themselves and establish determination to get
better.

Replacing Textbooks In Schools
Replacing textbooks with Technology Imagine what giving a school full of middle
schoolers tablets or laptops would be like. How many of them would just play games
instead of doing work? Countless people believe that replacing textbooks with tablets
or small computers is the future of education, despite all the negative aspects of the
idea. According to the article, Should Tablets Replace textbooks in K 12 Schools? by
procon.org, There are many different companies that manufacture tablets, and most
contract with one specific e book seller. This means that some textbooks may not be
sold across all tablets. Doing away with textbooks has several other problems as well.

Also, according to the article, Many students do not have sufficient bandwidth to use
tablets, so even if students do have wifi at home it still might not be enough. In addition,
the article stated that printed text is easier to remember and comprehend than text on a

Handhelds contribute to Computer Vision Syndrome, which causes eyestrain, headaches,
blurred vision, and dry eyes, according to the American Optometric Association (Should
Tablets Replace textbooks in K 12 Schools?). There are countless potential distractions
that can be caused by laptops and tablets. One problem with tablets and laptops is that
sometimes only a specialist can fix them when they are broken. This is a large contrast to
textbooks which can be fixed with tape or glue. In addition, the article stated that the
average battery life is shorter than the school day, which means more electricity used at
school and a need for more electrical outlets. Another distraction caused by tablets and
laptops is the easy access to online games. Also, having tablets or laptops would make it

Essay on The Comanche Indians
The Comanche Indians

The Comanche have most recently been found in the Southern Plains, which stretches
from Nebraska to the northern part of Texas. They were fully in Texas by the 1700 s. It
is believed that the Comanche derived from the Shoshone Indians, found in Wyoming.
The language spoken by the Comanche is actually a form of Uto Aztecan language that
when compared to the Shoshone language, the two are very similar. The Comanche s
were great warriors and did not really indulge in religious practices too much nor did
they use folktales or legends very often. The Comanche s economy was mostly based on
their lifestyle. Comanche s were bands, not tribes, who would raid neighboring villages.
This is one of the reasons why ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
They migrated from a mountainous region to the plains were they were frequently
encountered with the Jumano, Pueblo and Apache Indians along with the Spanish. The
Comanche were such skilled warriors, that they were able to push the Indian groups
further south and further west, they kept the Spanish in the southern part of Texas and
prevented them from venturing north, and they also gave American settlers a very
difficult time. The Comanche were very skilled horsemen. They were the most feared
Indians on horses. It is actually said that the Comanche were the best Indian horsemen
warriors ever. They had remarkable ability and skill on horses. The Comanche first met
the Spanish around the late 1600 s. The most prominent contribution from the Spanish
was the horse. The horse helped strengthen the Comanche. The Spanish would not benefit
too much from trading with the Comanche. Most of the trading done was usually for
things or persons stolen by the Comanche, which the Spanish wanted back. Most of the
time it was people. The Comanche would also encounter some American and German
settlers in the late 1700 s early 1800 s. However, the Comanche didn t really trade with
them, they would just steal horses, cattle, possessions and women and children, which
they would sell back to the settlers of course. Traditionally the homeland of the
Comanche was the northern part of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and
New Mexico. Currently most
The Role Of Academic Thinking Surrounding Cities
1.1 Introduction to Global City Theory

Academic thinking surrounding cities prior to the global recession of the early 1980s
was somewhat limited in its understanding of international influences on the attributes
and characteristics of said cities. Their analysis was limited by boundaries of national or
regional boarders and the hierarchies that these dictate (Taylor, 2003). The national scale
was at this point the principle scale on which cities where categorised and ranked.
Brenner et al state that:

The possibility that urban development or the formation of urban hierarchies might be
conditioned by supranational or global forces was not systematically explored.

However as Friedmann himself states it was never intended to be a definitive piece. In
part 1.2 of this paper the key characteristics of a global city will be identified however for
this introduction, global cities theory or as it was known at the time World City Theory
can be summarised into the following quote:

World cities are the control centres of the global economy. Their status, of course, is
evolving in the measure that given regions are integrated in a dominant role with the
world system. And like the golden cities of ancient empires, they draw into themselves
the wealth of the world that is ruled by them. They become the major points for the
accumulation of capital and all that money can buy. They are luxurious, splendid cities
whose very splendour obscures the poverty on which their wealth is based. The
juxtaposition is not merely spatial; it is a functional relation: rich and poor define each
other.
(Friedmann, et al, 1982, p5)

This creates a narrative of inherent inequality within global cities, that will be explored
in the following text. By using this as a starting point to asses the functioning of cities,
this paper will draw upon various international cities to compare and contrast individual
effects of globalisation. Primarily Tokyo will be used as a case study for deeper analysis
allowing greater understanding of the real world effects that globalisation is inflicting

Article Review Gill, Valerie. Catharine Beecher and...
Bailey Diamond
In the article Catharine Beecher and Charlotte Perkins Gilman: Architects of Female
Power by author Valerie Gill, Ms. Gill attempts to bridge the gap between what appears
to be two powerful women of their time with two totally different opinions of the
American woman and the type of life they should lead. The author points out the obvious
differences of opinions in the writings of the two women, who are related by the way,
and the different era in which they write. Catharine Beecher was the great aunt of
Charlotte Perkins Gilman and lived and wrote during a time when a woman working in
any other place besides the home was not something that happened often. A woman s job
during this time was to raise children and make ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net
...
Both women also had the common conclusion that the woman s place, whether it is in
the home working or in the factory working, would make a great impact on the society.
Architectural ideas as to better society are another thing these two authors had in
common, as pointed out by Gill in the article. The elder author Beecher would make
drawings in her articles about staging the home and using dividers as a way to make
more areas in the home, and Gilman, being concerned about the lives led by farmer s
wives, included drawings of a farming community shaped like a pie that had common
areas to share, as to make life easier for them. Interesting enough, Gill included in her
article a picture of a drawing done by Beecher, along with her sister Harriet Beecher
Stowe, later in life of a block of houses with common areas used to house the homeless,
helpless, and vicious which very much resembled Gilman s block community idea
where people shared common spaces and so that some women could take care of the
children and household duties while others went out in the community to work. This is
an excellent example of Beecher thinking like Gilman in the mixing of public and private
space. It is my opinion that the aging Beecher was beginning to think out of the box.
This article was insightful and gave a great example of how people with a difference of
opinion can actually be thinking the same. If one just read the two women s writings
without an open mind, one would think
Ancient Roman Architecture
The building borrowed from mainly large scale ancient Roman buildings. One of the
most principle design was the longitudinal axis as the building now had the focus of
attention to the opposite end to the entrance. This was because it was a church thus
that design enabled number of people to gather for the liturgy with an inward focus
on the altar. Another principle design is the series of arches/pillars on both sides, that
are continuous throughout the side of the church. The purpose of that is to again lead
your eyes into the critical point of the church, the altar. Note that the pillars are in
corinthian style. Another notable design is the wooden door in the entrance which it
has carved imageries of scenes from the Bible, basically a frieze but on wood. There is
also, inside the church one aisle on each side behind the arches/pillars, and the central
naive which has a wide open space. Also opposite of the church there is the altar which
is in a semi circular space. Above the altar there is a beautiful painting, probably a frieze,
above the altar which is highly polychromed, even using rare colors like blue. Another
notable feature was the use of clerestory which lit the church with sunlight softly... Show

Also the use of the clerestory was an adaption from Rome but went as far back as to
Ancient Egypt. Mostly the frescoes and even the pillars being made of marble is an
adaptation from the Romans. The arches/pillar system is meant to focus the attention
toward the altar, for obvious reasons. This also includes the longitudinal axis trying to
pull your attention toward the pillar. The sanctuary screen was also there to separate the
main altar area and the nave. Also the aisles on both side and the wide nave was there
so that large amount of people can move into the church easily. Also frescos and images
of christian related things in the church also laid down the needs for Christian
