History and Theories of Spousal Abuse
It has been estimated that one out of every six women in this country are victims of ongoing spousal abuse and that as many as one in three have experienced at least one physical assault during the course of their marriages (Straus, Gelles, & Steinmetz, 1980). These numbers may seem shockingly high at first, but they are really not too surprising when we stop and consider the fact that wife-beating is rooted in long-standing social traditions. It was both legal and respectable to beat one's wife until the late nineteenth century, and it has only been within the last two decades that battering has truly become viewed as unacceptable behavior. Throughout written history women have occupied a subordinate position to men. One theory of spousal abuse which takes its historical aspects into account is the social-learning approach.

Human Rights Issues | Institute for Humane Education
The content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Humane Education website at Although changes in the last hundred years (such as increased rights for women and minorities) have significantly advanced human rights across the globe, social justice is still a dream for hundreds of millions of people. For example, despite laws against it, slavery is actually on the rise, and genocide plagues several continents. Starvation and preventable disease – the result of corruption, lack of education, global climate change, diminished resources, human overpopulation, and more – claim millions of lives annually. Women and people who are minorities, homosexual, disabled, or facing poverty all over the globe still endure prejudices and obstacles that prevent them from leading free, safe, and healthy lives. Human rights are inextricably connected to environmental and cultural issues.

Singles/Never Married Persons - Social And Historical Context Of Singlehood - Gender, Stereotypes, Family, Definition, Women, and Marriage - JRank Articles
Most cultures, past and present, have viewed adulthood as synonymous with being married and having children, and being single as a transitional stage that preceded these significant and expected adult roles. Different historical and cultural contexts have significantly affected the propensity, desire, and ability to marry, as well as opportunities and circumstances inside and outside of marriage. Yet historically, as now, a significant minority of the population remained single. How the never married have been viewed has also varied with time and place. During the 1970s, several social factors converged to create a new and more positive recognition of singlehood: more women in higher education, expanding career and job opportunities for women, and increased availability and acceptable of birth control. The never married in later life are subject to stereotypes that portray older adults in general, as well as those associated with individuals who have failed to marry (Rubinstein 1987).
How Bill Gates' Favorite Teacher Wants to Disrupt Education
In 2008, Sal Khan had a bright future making millions as a hedge fund manager. He gave it up to produce low-budget math films on YouTube for free. Fortunately, hidden among his millions of loyal students, were the wealthiest of educational philanthropists, Bill Gates and the Google Foundation. Now, with a whole lot of cash and even more street cred, Khan aims to demote the institution of "school" to just one of many educational options. Beginnings Khan Academy, the YouTube open-course series, began as verbal contract with a 7th-grade girl. Since YouTube encouraged universal access, Khan thought “Why not? “Random people started watching it, and I started getting good feedback,” Khan tells Fast Company. The Success Factor and Company Growth To his amazement, the videos were far more popular than his dedicated tutoring sessions. Five years and dozens of lessons later, the YouTube series was reaching tens of thousands of views a day. The Motivation Changes to the System
