Education > Education (Other) Internet and its effects on education
3 of 33

I challenge you to find any higher education course today that does not require the use of the Internet in some form or another, if you can. The truth of the matter is that the Internet has allowed education to be accessible to many more people than it would have been accessible to just ten years ago. The Internet has afford... More..

Computers & Technology > Internet Search Issues Search engines: Viable alternatives to Google
4 of 35

To Google or not to Google might well be your dilemma! I can well remember a time when Google did not exist, but I'll bet there are not many today who do not give it a second thought. We need to find some information about something so we just go to Google, type in some keywords and, Hey! Pronto! Something like ten million r... More..

Education > Educational Philosophy The definition of education
7 of 24

Education - think carefully about it and what it means... You will find that it really is an ongoing process occurring throughout life. We get different parts of the jigsaw of our overall education in different places - school, home, the road of hard knocks, sports, daily survival and so on. Some see education as numeracy an...

Other 'The best things in life are free' defined
27 of 72

The best things in life are free only because they cannot be billed. So, yes! for the moment they are. Do not fool yourself into thinking the so called "free" things in life will make you happy - society says they will because otherwise most individuals would happily give them up. The often quoted proverb "Money isn't everyt... More..

Sciences > Psychology Living alone
5 of 13

This is the greatest fear society forces onto us. Yes, I say forces. People do not like to talk about being alone because it is seen to be odd or even sick! Unfortunately, people do not realize how sane and how much strength is required to choose - note choose - to live alone; You have to deal with all life throws at you on ... More..

Education > Distance Learning Distance learning: The benefits of doing college from home
7 of 18

Distance learning is one of the shades of what can be loosely termed on-line learning. The distance learning referred to here is electronically mediated - distance learning has been around for a very long time, even in the days of snail-mail and peddle radio in Australia. A basic definition of distance learning is the need t... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Gender Issues Does society favor men?Smallicon
32 of 73

Women have been smarter than the men in this whole debate. Men have quite surprisingly and submissively surrendered to all claims that were made against them within this framework. The fact that the "man" was brought up by his mother who taught him to be tough, not to cry and hang in there has been a way to get whatever wome... More..

Education > Education (Other) Should public school teachers get merit pay?Smallicon
13 of 23

If you cut me do I not bleed? If you hurt me do I not cry? If you bill do I not have to pay? Or do get an exemption or a discount because I am a teacher? Do pigs fly? While the teaching profession, in the rhetoric of most governments on this earth, is held to be the noble profession, something to strive for and almost the ul... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Economy The government should be held to the same principles of good business management as a publicly held US corporationSmallicon
14 of 20

When the demand is made for government to be accountable in a similar fashion to corporations, it is a desire for more transparency than is currently afforded Joe Citizen about what happens to tax dollars. It is not a demand for the government to abdicate or dilute its powers, charters, functions or obligations. However, one... More..

Food & Drink > Dining & Restaurants (Other) Should restaurants be required to list calories and fat grams on their menus?Smallicon
54 of 77

Considering the impact food has on health and the flow-on costs food-related maladies generate as a consequence to the individual and health system it seems to be a no-brainer decision to have all restaurants required, nay say I,mandated, to list calories and fat grams on menus. It is self-evident that the individual, partic... More..
