Introduction There is no doubt that the topic of character formation belongs to the number of the most important research areas. The process of character formation is associated with numerous stereotypes and false assumptions that have a negative influence on human society on a global scale (Metzger 92). Using the approach to education that is based on the lack of understanding of the link between character and physical activity, many people prevent their children from achieving success (Pathak et al. 64). The knowledge of the real effects of youth sports on the formation of character can help to create an education strategy that would help young people to improve their physical shape and fight their weaknesses simultaneously. The creation of such a strategy where sports will be used as a kind of psychotherapy can be encouraged by further research on the discussed topic. Proposal The question concerning the presence of the link between youth sports and the formation of character has been studied by numerous researchers, but the latter was focusing on more specific aspects of character formation. Therefore, the direct impact of youth sports on character formation has not been described yet. Nowadays, it is known that the moral development of adolescents and sports participation presents two variables that are strictly interconnected (Li et al. 505). Continuing on the topic of the current knowledge in the field, it is pivotal to state that modern researchers aim to study the problem of sports participation and its influence on people belonging to different age groups. To do that, they focus on possible links of sports participation with both positive and negative tendencies. Thus, it is known that there is no obvious connection between physical activity and the propensity to crime among adolescents (Spruit 655). As the current state of research indicates, the presence of the impact that youth sports have on character formation requires additional research. Nevertheless, even though the problem has not been studied with the use of the scholarly approach, many coaches believe that physical education and sports have a positive influence on the development of character (Ferris 127). The proposed research aims to fill the knowledge gap that exists in the field and study the possible role of youth sports in character formation. In particular, the research will be based on the assumption that the process of character formation should be thoroughly analyzed and the key aspects of this process should be identified. Otherwise, the lack of exact terms can pose
Frankston is the biggest city in Melbourne, Victoria, and is on the seaside of Port Phillip Bay, 41 km southeast of Melbourne CBD.69% of, Frankston residents are born in Australia, while 12.5% of them are migrants from overseas. The majority of these people are Catholics while the rests are protestants and others, nonbelievers. Frankston population is comprised of the middle-aged people who are the majority; the aged follow with a percentage of about 22.8% and teenagers and children account for the rest of the population. Studies have shown that there is a high demand for general healthcare, acute, aged, and psychiatric and rehabilitation services (Heinz,1975). Many facilities are offering such services in Frankston but only a few will be mentioned in the report. (ABS) Public hospitals The biggest public hospitals in Frankston are Frankston hospital, The Alfred Hospital, Austin Hospital, Melbourne, Epworth Hospital, Knox Private Hospital, The Northern Hospital, and the Peninsula Health (Salzer, 2006). Frankston Hospital is the largest, and it is found on Hastings Road provides general, specialized surgery, pediatric, maternity, and care facilities for the disabled. It is also a major training center for medical staff health services (Cartwright, 1981).Peninsula Health: provides an extensive variety of services from obstetrics to aged care, rehabilitation, emergency, and intensive care, oncology, psychiatric services disability care and it has close to 800 beds. They also train medical staff and research health improvement and it also offers medical training (Roderick, 1985). Private hospitals Private hospitals offering acute medical services are very many too but the major ones are Peninsula private hospital, and the St John of God Health Care group which comprises of very many hospitals offering acute medical services (Carmody, et al, 2006) Peninsula Private Hospital on 525 McClelland Drive it is a wide-ranging 155-bed hospital dealing with acute, surgical, cardiac and obstetric services among others. They have high technology medical equipment and also well-trained physicians hence the quality medical services. It is a private hospital hence the costs are quite high and are only accessible to a few (Thomson, 2008). St John of God Health Care on12 Kings Park Road is a group of hospitals all over Australia that provide medical, surgical, maternity, pediatrics, oncology services, and facilities for the disabled. The services in these hospitals are of good quality but a little expensive though chea
Introduction When carrying out an analysis, it is vital that a person opts for a methodology depending on the subject of study. In essence, there are two ways of carrying out an analysis: qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis (Babbie, 2010). These two analytic methods vary by their application of measurements and statistics in deductive reasoning (Dey, 2003). A quantitative methodology employs measurements, numbers, statistics or quantities during the analytic process. On the other hand, a qualitative methodology is a non-numeric method of analysis and often uses quality, opinion, or feelings during the analytic procedure (Strauss, 2009, Denzin & Lincoln, 2005). For example, when a traffic officer stops a driver suspecting him of driving under influence, he has to go through the breathalyzer test. The test establishes that there is some alcohol in his blood, hence he is driving under influence. This is a qualitative analysis. However, if the machine confirms that the driver has 0.09 percent alcohol in his blood, then this becomes a quantitative analysis since numericals are involved. Application of Qualitative and Quantitative Analyses A practical example of a quantitative analysis is observed in an article in the BBC titled, How the internet transformed business (Schifferes, 2006). The article details how the internet, launched 15 years ago by the time was written, has boosted various businesses around the US. Schifferes uses quantities and measurements quite often to support the fact that the internet has actually led to an increase in business activity in the area under focus. He mentions that “the waiting list for BMWs rose to five years” (Schifferes, 2006). He also mentions that more and more modern restaurants were being opened, a reference to the high rate at which restaurants were coming up, and obviously using numbers to come to this deduction. To further demonstrate the phenomenal increase in business activity, Schifferes writes that when Netscape went public, its shares tripled in value. He mentions more companies that registered immense growth, such as Cisco Systems (which eventually became the world’s largest company), worth more than $400 billion. Its value has since risen to approximately $100 billion. Silicon Valley also experienced a boom, with close to a billion dollars worth of investments per week. The climax of this boom was the takeover of AOL for more than $200bn. The NASDAQ also rose five-fold. Generally, Schifferes uses measurements a number of times to emphasize the growth in various businesses a
Introduction The American Revolution is typically depicted as a major step in the realization of liberty and freedom for all. When the lives of African-Americans who lived during the time of this important event are considered, however, our view becomes quite complicated. Liberty came about as the American colonists pursued freedom and independence from rule of the English. The black Americans were not left behind and thus they adopted the attributes of the revolution with undeterred zeal in a bid to win their freedom. The main objective of revolution was to achieve a society that enjoyed freedom from the oppressive rule and also to enhance equality in the American society. This paper discusses the intricacies of the revolution era and looks into the motivating effect that the revolution had on black Americans. As it has been mentioned above, the revolution that was characteristic of the revolutionary era was engineered by American patriots, most of whom had black American slaves (DeCond.45). The determination that these patriots fought for their freedom from the rule of the English people had to have a long-lasting impact on the black Americans. This is because the black Americans were the ones facing the most problems prior to this period and thus complaints by the patriots made them realize that they had been oppressed for far too long. They therefore pursued the ethos of the era which were basically attaining freedom and achieving equality in the American society. This response by the black Americans towards the things that were happening at the time made them fight relentlessly for their freedom and rights which, in turn, has shaped the history of America and enabled America to be the society it is today. How the enslaved African-Americans sought freedom during the Revolutionary era In as much as the colonists were determined to make a difference in the American society, being involved in the war was not easy for them. A good number of them maintained a neutral position during the revolution era (Woody 76). Two major changes that occurred in America during the stated revolutionary period are establishment of the Afro-American community in America and the provision of the institutions that would help them live free lives. Afro-Americans were also accepted as part and parcel of the American society (Smith 109). The stated facts have been upheld for decades and consequently, the contemporary American society, undoubtedly, exhibits them. The Black Americans were contrarily interested in their freedom and thus they were ready to trade anything for their freedom. Consequently, they gave support to the armies that were likely to give them freedom from captivity .They realized the importance of supporting the army other than fighting them after fighting in vain for freedom. This was after the long period of time they had been captives. Through their union with the British army, they were in a position to be defended from sl
In his famous work “The Leviathan”, Thomas Hobbes refers to the natural mode of people’s existence as “war of everybody against everybody”, while suggesting that such war comes as a result of individuals taking a full advantage of their natural right to exploit their existential freedom, to the full extent of this word. According to Hobbes, the notion of morality is a socio-linguistic category, which is being purely relativistic, in its very essence, simply because, during the time of war, it is namely the people’s immorality, which represents the highest virtue, on their part: “Force and fraud are in war the two cardinal virtues” (Hobbes, Ch. 13). In time of war, there can be no right or wrong, in moralistic context of this word – the strong are necessarily right and the weak are necessarily wrong: “They (the concepts of morality) are qualities that relate to men in society, not in solitude” (Hobbes, Ch. 13). However, people who live according to the natural law of survival of the fittest, risk the chance of extinction. Moreover, within a context of people being in the state of war against each other, there can be no cultural or scientific progress. Thus, Hobbes implies that it is in people’s best interests to subject themselves to a sovereign authority, which in its turn, derives out of the concept of “social contract”. Such contract is being viewed by Hobbes as the “way out”, which can be utilized by people, while dealing with their inborn sense of self-destructiveness: “And thus much for the ill condition which man by mere nature is actually placed in; though with a possibility to come out of it” (Hobbes, Ch. 13). It is only when members of society willingly delegate some of their rights to higher authority, which allows them to effectively suppress their socially-destructive animalistic urges, while setting citizens on the path of progress. In other words, Hobbes refers to the concept of statehood as being purely rationalistic and as such, that has nothing to do with the notion of “divine ordainment”. This, however, does not prevent him from referring to monarchy as the most effective form of government. From the very context of provided quote, it appears that Hobbes was utterly skeptical as to the prospect of people being able to govern themselves in rational manner, which is why, throughout his work, author never ceases to insist that only the government that exercises both: legislative and executive powers, might benefit the well-being of a particular nation, and that the difference in forms of governing is rather linguistic then conceptual: “For they (citizens) that are discontented under Monarchy, call it Tyranny; and they that are displeased with Aristocracy, called it Oligarchy: so also, they which find themselves grieved under a Democr
One of the strongest and captivating issues about poetry is the ability to describe the same themes in many different and unpredictable ways. Constant discussions about death, its perception by people, and the possibility to avoid death seem to be the most frequent literary issues for consideration. “ Death Be Not Proud ” and “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” analysis and evaluation will be provided in this paper. The Main Themes in the Poems Emily Dickinson and John Donne made two convincing attempts to examine the role of death in the world and the variety of attitudes to this issue. “Death Be Not Proud” by Donne and “Because I Could Not Stop for Death ” by Dickinson are the two poems with different approaches to one problem. However, it is wrong to call death a problem. This is why it is better to say that these two works help to comprehend the essence of death that is impossible to neglect and wrong to be afraid of. Donne and Dickinson’s works are characterized by the use of different stylistic devices (personification and metaphor), the contrast in tones of the story (sarcasm and obedience), different literary techniques, and different writing styles. These numerous differences make these poems so powerful and so immortal for the readers as well as help them learn and comprehend the essence of death in the most appropriate ways. In order to define the differences and similarities between the poems under discussion, it is crucially essential to clear up the main themes of the works and authors’ intentions. Though the authors use the same idea to start their poems, the chosen approaches to defining the central point remain different. Dickinson’s poem begins with the phrase “because I could not stop for death” (Dickinson line 1), which is also the title of the poem. Donne opens the poem in the same way, using the title of the poem as the first line and introduction of “Death Be Not Proud” theme(Donne line 1). Dickenson defines death as a visit to the narrator, according to which death takes her towards her eternal grave. In his turn, Donne tries to criticize death from numerous perspectives calling it a slave who does not have any control over the narrator. At the same time, it is clear from the poems’ summaries that both authors portray death contrary to the popular beliefs presenting it as harsh, cruel, powerful, or supreme. They are not afraid of showing their attitudes towards the end, but, at this, they do not insist that their beliefs are the only correct ones. All they try to do is to introduce their personal ways of how it is possible to treat death and be ready to accept it when the time comes. Though their central theme is death, it does not mean that they introduce similar ideas and approaches, and this is what attracts the readers’ attention and makes people believe that death has its own weak and strong sides.
Introduction There is a great controversy on what constitutes essential activities of Christians. The rationale might be to educate issues raised in the bible, wheel spiritual developments, or promote discipleship of Jesus Christ. The evident conflicts reinforce the need to distinguish the disparities or similarities that prevail between these domains. A disciple is an individual who has conviction in Christ for salvation and has consequently surrendered wholly to Him. 1 Such a person is dedicated to execute virtues within the community while enhancing the work of God. What must be unpinned is if the Great Commission forms the essential duty or purpose of Christian ministry. Indeed, if discipleship forms the essential activity of any Christian ministry, then it shall bear dramatic impacts. Although it is relatively hard to contain God in an empirical evaluation, we may evaluate answers for the search for the answers depending on the teachings of the Scripture. This discussion seeks to critique a statement that the essential activity of Christian ministry is to make a disciple who worships Jesus. Education, Discipleship, and Spiritual Formation Education has been defined as the innovative procedure of using exterior and internal powers to enhance the roles of teaching as well as training in enhancing and achieving growth and advancement. 2 It enables personalities to understand, contemplate and give back to their society and culture. Discipleship is likened to the master-apprenticeship association taken in a religious context. Discipleship has also been regarded as the gradual process of growing into a completely committed Christ follower, empowered by the quest to impart passion as well as commitment for Christ and others. 3 On the other hand, spiritual formation refers to the Christian development through a distinct procedure of living a Christian way of life by the Holy Spirit. Alternatively, it may refer to the manners through which the life must be lived. Apart from some obvious similarities, there are distinct and notable differences that can be observed between education, discipleship, as well as spiritual transformation. Biblical discipleship entails getting to and following after Christ, restraining oneself from certain privileges and counting the incurrence within corporate as well as personal associations. Above all, it also involves taking up Christ’s Cross. Conversely, education may be assumed to be the combination of two axes of continuums. These include pers
“I’ll make me a world” is a movie that tries to reconstruct new ways of art by describing African-American artists that helped shape the twentieth-century cultural world; through music and writing among other art. They achieved this through strives to become creative citizens thus heritage that identifies Americans. These arts are characterized by dressing; talking and language use; walking styles, and music listened to. The movie covers the areas of arts emphasizing the development of the Black Arts Movement after 1964. (Robertson & Craig 4-15) Entertainment constitutes the passive activities that allow for the enjoyment and amusement of individuals especially during leisure time and it covers the acts of theatre; social dance and cinema. Art, on the other hand, is the planning of different elements in a form pleasing to the emotions aesthetically and they include music; film; paintings; and literature. Entertainment is always art because it acquires entertaining traits from the artistic planning of elements and ideas. Art is not always entertainment as it may be created just for aesthetic value like in the case of paintings and drawings. (Robertson & Craig 4-15) Art and entertainment are not the same, as entertainment forms a definite aspect and part of art, while on the other hand art is a wider field that is characteristic with creativity that inspires all activities that can be referred to as entertainment. Examples of art creations from entertainment include theatre; cinema; music and dance because creative planning is meant to pass some information artistically. Social commentary is the practice of revolt against a group or social system through the use of symbolic means. It is used to sensitize the population on problems like lack of justice like the need for freedom through Jazz music, the “Crazy blues” that described the American working-class life, and Paul Robeson’s fights for social justice using his artwork. (Robertson & Craig 4-15) New forms of art coming into society are not warmly welcomed due to the fear that it will break the rhythm, harmony, and balance that exists between the society and the already socialized forms of art as they challenge socialized morals; culture; and rationality. (Robertson & Craig 4-15) New forms of art may also be highly welcomed to society in the hope that they will inspire new means of solving problems like freedom as well as improving the general communication levels that are available to society. An example of this is the art of diagnostics drawings cycle in medicine. (Robertson & Craig 4-15) The danger of accepting new forms of art supportively; exposes the society to the need for changing certain aspects of societal dealings and relations to blend into the new cultural formations. On the other hand, the danger of welcoming new forms of art poorly is that; it places the society in a state that does not allow for the acquisition of new levels of advancement in art and culture. (Robertson & Craig 4-15) The movie examines the success and trials of the African-American ar
