Introduction

In the coming years, the manufacture of mirrors and glass will grow because the demand will be higher.

The process of making glass consists of melting certain substances until they solidify. This process dates back to a time before 2000 BC when glass was worked by hand using molds. Over time, glass has been used to make containers, decorative objects such as jewelry, and also in architecture and industry. At present, its recycling provides an important benefit to conserve the environment and reduce pollution.

Communication in Early Childhood Education

Body Language

(Ribas Antuña: 2011) Body language is specifically mentioned in the Infant Curriculum. When learning a foreign language, our body is essential. Images and realia materials are extremely important in the teaching-learning process. Our body, one of the main elements of non-verbal communication, is also a means to make our pupils conscious of shapes, spaces, and objects. Pointing out is absolutely important. By using our body without speaking, students can make associations between English names and objects, parts of the body, etc. Our body is also a means and a tool for dramatization activities.

Verbal Communication

• Set of signs
• Oral or written communication in its multiple forms
• Convention

1. The Three-Fifths Compromise

One of the most misunderstood clauses in the United States Constitution is found in Article 1, Section 2: “Representatives… shall be apportioned among the… States… by adding to the whole Number of free Persons... three-fifths of all other Persons.”

The Three-Fifths Compromise was devised by those who opposed slavery, not by those who were for slavery. Or, to put it another way, it wasn’t the racists of the South who wanted to count slave populations less than white populations – it was the abolitionists of the North.

Description

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise reached among state delegates during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. Whether, and if so, how, slaves would be counted... Continue reading "The Three-Fifths Compromise and Other Key Events Leading to the Civil War" »

Anthropological Ideas of the Holy Fathers (Platonism) - Until the 13th Century

These ideas persisted until the 13th century due to:

• The idea that the soul is in the body due to a fall (original sin)
• The idea that the soul, in the body, is subjected to superior and inferior tendencies (battle between the flesh and the spirit)
• Immortality of the soul

Saint Thomas Aquinas (Aristotelian Standpoint)

• The soul is the form of the body.
• The soul does not pre-exist the body; it is created by God at the same time it in-forms the body.
• No transmigration.
• Immortal soul.

Descartes (Plato's Standpoint - Efficient Causality)

Descartes' views aligned with Plato's because:

• He rejects the concept of substantial forms.
• He considers the soul to be a thinking and self-sufficient

Definition:

a) Nominal:

• Etymological: "philosophy" "love of wisdom".
• Homer (Sophia): ability, skill or technique
• Herodotus (Sophos): anyone who outstands because of the perfection and quality of his works
• Heraclitus (Philosophus): a philosopher is a good researcher of many things
• Pythagoras: disinterested effort that leads to the quest for knowledge
• Plato: Philosophy is a participation of Wisdom. It's a tendency.

Synonymic:

• Stoicism: philosopher is the calm, patient person, who never loses control
• Scholasticism: philosophy is the supreme human natural science
• Positivism: philosophy is reflection with no foundations

b) Real:

"Science of all things through ultimate causes, attained by the light of natural reason alone".

Environment and Development: The Basic Issues

The livelihood depends on agriculture, animal husbandry, hunting, fishing, forestry, and foraging. The interaction between poverty and environmental degradation can lead to a self-perpetuating process. Result of ignorance or destroy or exhaust the resources.

• Destruction of rainforests
• Climate change
