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).
Lazarus sign
The Lazarus sign or Lazarus reflex is a reflex movement in brain-dead or brainstem failure patients, [ 1 ] which causes them to briefly raise their arms and drop them crossed on their chests (in a position similar to some Egyptian mummies ). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The phenomenon is named after the Biblical character Lazarus of Bethany , [ 4 ] whom Jesus is described as having raised from the dead in the Gospel of John . [ edit ] How it happens Like the knee jerk reflex, the Lazarus sign is an example of a reflex mediated by a reflex arc – a neural pathway which passes via the spinal column but not through the brain. The reflex is often preceded by slight shivering motions of the patient's arms, or the appearance of goose bumps on the arms and torso. The arms then begin to flex at the elbows before lifting to be held above the sternum . They are often brought from here towards the neck or chin and touch or cross over.

Qualities Of Good Teachers
Good teachers are rare, and few people, including school administrators who hire teachers, know what it takes to be one. Although some of the qualities of good teachers are subtle, many of them are identifiable. Here is a list of sixteen traits that excellent teachers have in common: 1. You can’t teach what you don’t know. 2. No teacher should be expected to have much patience with individuals whose lack of discipline, immaturity, or indolence interrupts the work of other students. 3. All good teachers are intellectually curious and naturally driven by their interests in keeping abreast of changes in their fields. 4. Good teachers are confident in their abilities to sense where students are in the learning process and in their students’ abilities to learn material that is presented in a logical and graduated fashion. 5. Talented teachers are able to work with students with varying levels of maturity and knowledge. 6. 7. Teachers must have plans and stick to them. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

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.

How to teach … photography | Teacher Network
Students of all ages are fascinated by taking photos – and, now photography has gone digital, it is easy and cheap to get your students snapping. The Guardian Teacher Network has resources to help schools harness the potential of photography and use it as a really powerful cross-curricular tool. Thanks to PhotoVoice, a participatory photography charity that runs projects in 23 countries, for sharing its resources. A great start is PhotoVoice's introduction to composition, which introduces key concepts in composition of photos and will help students to make decisions about how they frame and represent subjects. This photo treasure hunt is a simple and accessible way to introduce creative exploration of an environment or subject with digital photographs. Photography is an accessible way to look at a multitude of issues in the classroom. The competition is a fantastic opportunity to get creative with students and help them to engage with human rights and justice through photography.
