Online degrees have made it easier than ever for people to advance
their opportunities in the world. Students who lack the flexibility to
pursue a full-time residential education at a university or college can
now obtain a degree in the field of their choice through numerous online
alternatives. But what, specifically, are the most popular disciplines
in which students are enrolling these days? The answers are: Business
Administration, Criminal Justice, Psychology and Health Administration.</div>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Business Administration: Most studies confirm that Business
Administration is usually at the top of the list when it comes to the
actual number of student enrollments at a particular online university.
Degrees in Business Administration offer students a wide array of
knowledge regarding the corporate world and are almost a necessity for
acquiring upper-level positions at any type of financial or
business-related institution. Obtaining a degree in Business
Administration can help secure a job in areas such as Accounting,
Finance, Management, Marketing and International Business.</li>
<li>Criminal Justice: Criminal Justice is also currently a very
attractive field for online students. Degrees in this area can lead to
jobs in corrections, law enforcement and the court system. More and
more people are deciding to pursue an education that explores everything
from police patrol procedures to forensic science to anti-terrorism
tactics. Students acquire expertise in the study of criminals, the
treatment of offenders and the process of making laws. Moreover, this
discipline allows students to apply analytical thinking to real world
situations, as well as to develop administrative skills for the criminal
justice system. </li>
<li>Psychology: Psychology is another very popular discipline in online
education today. An increasing number of people are becoming interested
in psychology-related jobs, such as those in counseling, clinical
research, neuroscience, social psychology, school psychology, industrial
psychology, forensic psychology, developmental psychology, experimental
psychology and research psychology. Although obtaining online
bachelor-level degrees is very popular and readily available, becoming a
licensed therapist usually requires further education - namely, a
master's degree. Fortunately, master's degrees in psychology are
available online as well!</li>
<li>Health Administration: Finally, online courses in Health
Administration are also becoming some of the more sought-after degrees.
Students can prepare to direct medical activities, such as nursing,
therapy, equipment delivery services, record management and preventive
care. An increasing number of individuals seeking to improve the
overall system of health care are enrolling in online courses designed
to make them experts in the progressive field of health administration.

When student travel tours are scheduled for New York City, the
main item on the itinerary is art and culture, with some standard points
of interest, like The Statue of Liberty and Times Square, included.
Here is a descriptive sample itinerary for a New York City student field
trip, which balances art and cultural highlights with visits to
interesting destinations in Manhattan.<br />
Always use a professional
educational travel consultant when planning a trip to New York City.
Certified tour guides must be used in New York City, and motor coach
drivers must be well versed in street layouts and traffic patterns. An
educational travel consultant will select qualified individuals to work
with an educational tour. The goal of educational travel is to deliver
the highest quality learning experience to the group, and to keep the
student travel tour on schedule.<br />
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)<br />
Student
travel tours planned in advance can easily complement classroom
activities. "Modern Teachers" is a MoMA program that allows educators
to customize educational tours of the Museum. Working closely with
materials on MoMA's website, an educator can construct a lesson plan to
coincide with the field trip to MoMA. This exciting tool for educators
is complemented by video lessons on the world's greatest artists. With
advance notice, educational tour groups can visit MoMA with a docent.<br />
Metropolitan Art Museum<br />
At
the Metropolitan Art Museum, an emphasis on the classics benefit the
student travel group, and give them a well rounded approach to art
history. The brand new Greek and Roman galleries offer glimpses into
the world of the ancients with 5,200 pieces from the permanent
collection now available for public viewing. The Cloisters is located at
Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan and recently reopened in 2006. It
represents the world of medieval art and architecture. Other exhibits,
lectures, and special programs are also available to student tour
groups. Have an educational travel professional schedule a guided
student tour for the Met in advance.<br />
A Student Tour of the Empire State Building<br />
Have
a qualified educational tour consultant schedule a group tour of the
Empire State Building in New York City. The Empire State Building was
constructed in 1930, during the beginning of the great depression,
greatly reducing building costs. The 86th Floor Observatory offers a
commanding view of Manhattan and has been the site of filming "Sleepless
in Seattle" and "An Affair to Remember." The building has a unique
history surrounding its construction. The impetus for building the
Empire State Building was a contest between Walter Chrysler (Chrysler
Corporation) and John Jakob Raskob (General Motors) to see who could
build the tallest skyscraper.<br />
Guided Tour of Manhattan<br />
Half-day
student tours of Manhattan usually begin at Central Park, the
northernmost point in Manhattan, and end to Battery Park, the
Southernmost point. The tour covers some major points of interest in
Manhattan such as Central Park, Times Square, Soho, City Hall, Wall
Street, The Statue of Liberty, and much more. In addition to seeing
points of interest, student tour groups will also learn about the
artistic and commercial history of Manhattan on this tour.<br />
Educational Tours: See a Broadway Musical While in New York City<br />
Almost
every student travel group wants to experience at least one Broadway
Musical while in New York City. Tickets for popular shows need to be
procured in advance by a student travel company. "Wicked", "Chicago",
and a "Chorus Line" are popular Broadway musicals appropriate for
student travel groups. Off Broadway productions are also available. Book
student travel group tickets in advance through a qualified educational
travel company to obtain student seating together and receive the best
price per ticket.<br />
An educational field trip to New York City can
offer the student the travel opportunity of a lifetime. This is only
one sample itinerary of a student tour of New York City. There are many
other variations of student travel tours to New York. With clear
objectives in mind and proper planning, a more customized educational
tour of New York City can easily be created.<br />

Are you looking to help those who are unable to go to school due
to a physical disability or are you a student who is unable to go to
school? You should look into distance education or distance learning.<br />
What
is distance education though? Distance education is a field of
education that uses technology and instructional systems to educate
students who are not physically able to receive their education. Instead
of the student who is unable to attend a class either buys the video of
a teacher teaching a subject or, more popular today, the student
watches the teacher over a webcam.<br />
Now that you know what distance education is, when did it start?<br />
The
oldest university to use distance education would have to be the
University of South Africa which has been offering distance education
since 1946. It has been available since the 1840s in Great Britain
though.<br />
The early forms of distance education would use a
commercial correspondence to deliver the piece of education to the
student. Many colleges in America use distance education today, although
any student can receive it, not just the disabled. Many students have
at least one internet class a semester which is where you stay at your
house and watch the teacher teach over a live webcam feed.<br />
If you
are going to do distance education it is important for you to know the
options you have on having it delivered to you. The most obvious choice
is for you to do what is called virtual classrooms which is where you
watch the lesson on your laptop over a live webcam feed. You can also
order DVDs and VHS tapes or just order books or other written print and
read them.<br />
There is a difference between open learning and
distance learning, but what is it? Open learning is when the student is
allowed to choose the time and place he/she wants to learn. Distance
learning is when the student and teacher are unable to meet at the same
time. This is important because not all open learning schools use
distance learning and not all schools that use distance education are
open learning schools.<br />
Distance education is definitely on the
rise as many more schools are beginning to use virtual classrooms and
provide more options for the disabled and those who are unable to attend
classes. If you are thinking about becoming a distance education
teacher you should consider it. You will be able to choose the time you
want to record a lesson and just send it to your students to watch at
the time they want.<br />
Distance education is a great thing because it
allows many students who were originally unable to attend school to do
so and it also allows teachers the chance to teach more students then
they would originally be able to teach.<br />

The online nursing continuing education has been accepted by the
professional world is evident with the fact that more and more people
are joining the online nursing schools to get an online associate
nursing degree. Another reason behind the growing popularity of online
nursing continuing education is that it offers a wide range of
accredited course for the aspiring students. Moreover, the working
professionals are using it for moving ahead in their career. In fact, it
works as a stepping-stone for rising higher on the ladder of success.<br />
Increasing Importance of Online Schools<br />
Different
programs offered by the online associate nursing degree school have
further increased the importance of online nursing continuing education.
Both students and the professional fraternity have realized the
importance of online nursing continuing education. With the help of the
online nursing continuing education you can earn the degree of any level
of your choice. Online nursing schools not only teach the concepts of
the nursing to the students but also give them the opportunity of
gaining practical experience. Thus, they become capable of handling any
responsibility they get at different managerial and administrative
positions.<br />
While deciding from where to get the online nursing
continuing education you must ascertain that the caliber of teaching
staff is unquestionable. You may rest assured if the teaching staff is
of higher caliber and have the required practical experience. There are
several benefits of online nursing continuing education over the
traditional method of getting education for nursing. The biggest benefit
of online system of education is that you get the convenience of
learning at your pace. You can complete the education without disturbing
your day today working. Moreover, you can fulfill your personal
commitments also while earning an online associate nursing degree.<br />
Another
advantage is that almost every body can afford it because one does not
need to spend a big amount of money while getting online education. On
the other hand when we compare it with the traditional method of getting
education in standard nursing schools we will find that traditional
schools are very expensive. If you believe that the online nursing
continuing education is not as effective as the traditional one because
the instructors and the students do not interact personally with each
other then your assumption is not correct. In fact, online education is
equally effective as the education we receive in the traditional
institutes. Furthermore, the students of online nursing continuing
education have the advantage of receiving the written lectures of the
instructors.<br />

Ensure you do the Groundwork before Making a Decision<br />
There
has been a huge increase in online schools and colleges across the
United Kingdom, North America and the United States in the past couple
of years, which shows that there is an increasing popularity of online
education and learning. However, jumping into online education without
doing the groundwork can be dangerous, as educational needs of students
do vary quite a lot depending on their levels of intelligence and social
and economic status. Therefore, the student's parents and tutors must
ensure that the students weigh all the pros and cons of an online
education and prompt them to decide the best course of action. The aim
of this article is to educate the student's on some of the more major
advantages and disadvantages of an online education.<br />
The Advantages of an Online Education<br />
Accessibility:
The Distance from a university campus is no longer a barrier in the
education of students. Today's generation have the advantage of
utilizing time effectively, since there are numerous choices in distant
online education for them. For the student to access online education,
all he or she needs is a personal computer with internet access with
which he or she can find the desired courses online and enrol. The
online education systems ensure that the student's put all their
energies into studies.<br />
A Flexible schedule: The good thing about
an online education is its effective use of time. As a student of online
education, you have the ability to maintain a flexible schedule, which
is of particular help when you are working simultaneously.<br />
Student-Centred
Learning: As a student of online learning, it is you who dictates your
learning experience. As your tutor will not be teaching you all of the
time, you can prioritize your schedule and complete any and all
assignments accordingly. You will also be given the choice of which
learning methodology you wish to use, such as audio, visual, or oral
components. Fair Playing Field: Online education is in vogue also as it
provides a level playing field for all the students. Learning online
provides a situation where decision-making is not based on the
candidates' gender, ethnicity, physical appearance, or race. Instead,
the evaluation is only based on your performance. The provision of this
fair-playing field has significantly contributed to the popularity of
online education.<br />
Disadvantages<br />
Employment: Not many industries will acknowledge an online professional degree.<br />
Oral
Communication: Since, the majority of online learning systems encourage
communication through e-mails and text chatting only, the student's may
be deprived of the ability to improve their oral communication skills.<br />
Fraud: A large number of online courses are not accredited and hence are not valid.<br />
Courses: Not all of the courses which are available elsewhere are available online.<br />
Moreover,
online learning requires a complete dedication and patience from the
students to ensure they achieve superb results. It is most advisable
that the students first, patiently and persistently familiarize
themselves with online learning technology. Additionally, they need to
always keep themselves abreast of the latest updates within the online
education system, since there will be no instructor to turn to in this
respect.<br />

management, self-disciple, and self-motivation skills that you acquired

Mentioned below are a few points that will give you an insight into pune city life.<br />
1)<b>Shadow of Mumbai :</b>
Pune enjoys the pride of location in the country, being located in the
shadow of Mumbai. The shadow, provides for the easy transfer of
knowledge base as well as the infrastructure, since these were readily
available in Mumbai. Accessibility to Mumbai, provided a strategic
fillip and a shot in the arm to Pune. It is magical that the positive
aspects were readily accepted in Pune while the shadow somehow
eliminated the negative infringements that were associated with
education in Mumbai. Pune nevertheless provides as an educational
resort.<br />
2)<b>Historic Perespective :</b> Historically, Pune was a
seat of learning for the Maharashtrians, the Brahmin culture that
originally belongs to this place (remnants of which can be easily seen
even today in the likes of various surnames that are associated with
it), actually helped in promoting education. The vibrations of our
forefathers still seem to be around, urging us to promote education.<br />
3)<b>Moderate Climate :</b>
Climatically, Pune enjoys the South Westerly winds to spread a veil of
coolness to maintain the temperatures to a moderate degree. In
conjunction with the afforestation drive in the city proper to provide
lucid support to the green hills that surround Pune, the city probably
enjoys the best of climate the country ever knows. That's why, it is a
resident's paradise. This provides for the congenial climate throughout
the year, with doses of serenity, thus acting as a catalyst for
promoting education.<br />
4)<b>Industrial Giant :</b> It is only a
question of time and Pune will emerge as an Industrial giant in the
country. Already a popular destination to a number of multinationals,
Pune is fast emerging as happening place. While this actually promotes
economy, the intangiable benefits that accrue, are directly in the form
of education, since these multinationals employ a wide cross section of
population that demands excellent infra-structural facilities.<br />
5)<b>Military Base :</b>
The British chose Pune to cultivate it into a huge military base, and
that is what it is today. Some of the world's finest military
establishments are located in Pune. The National Defence Academy, the
pride of our nation, is located in the sprawling countryside, decorating
the domineering mountain tops surrounding Pune. Institute of Armament
Technology, the only of its kind in the sub-continent is located here,
the College of Military Engineering, the Army Institute of Technology,
Army School of Physical training, Military Intelligence school, and a
number of others, all of which are training institutions, provide
inspirational delight for those who seek education and aare a perennial
source of motivation for young graduates.<br />
6)<b>Seats of Learning :</b>
One of the country's oldest seat of learning, the Pune Vidhyapheet,
guiding light for many a great scholar, is spread over a wide area,
incorporating almost every facet of education. The COEP, a deemed
university today, SIEC deemed university, Bharati Vidhyapheet deemed
university, IAT deemed university, well not many cities in our country
can boast of so many universities providing inspirational guiding light
to students. Many a national leader and statesmen are proud alumini of
these wonderful institutions. It many times seems to me as though, there
is a college at every corner.<br />
7)<b>Unique Culture :</b>
Conservatism and orthodoxy seem to have found a perfect balance with the
fast moving jazz culture co-existing in perfect harmony in Pune.
Despite all odds, the desire to learn seems to reign in supreme in every
Pune-ite heart and constantly ruling every Pune-ite mind. Every street
seems to have a different culture and when one reflects on this aspect,
it all seems to be naturally well mixed.<br />
8)<b>Discipline :</b> The
city appears to have a code-of-conduct and an inherent discipline that
augurs well with the need for imparting education. This automatically
caters respect for elders, teachers, and instills a sense of confidence
in the teachers as well as the taught, the mutual confidence and trust
they need to repose into each other, so every essential for the process
of learning.<br />
9)<b>Connections :</b> Well connected to the rest of
the country, the process still seems to be on, this allows expansion in
the educational field. This allows easy travel and facilitates decision
making in favour of Pune, as a choice center of learning.<br />
10)<b>IT Hub :</b>
The IT hub being developed in Pune, both at Magarpatta and at ....
Attract quite a few brains from across the country and this inherently
expands the learned base in the city.<br />
11)<b>Student's Safe Haven :</b>
Pune by virtue of its culture and location provides as a safe haven for
students. The excellent hostels and other amneties being provided by
the city and the simplistic equations that prevail for utilizing these
facilities, makes it safe for children to pursue their education here,
even if their parents are far away. Somehow, Pune seems to have
developed a reputation of being a student's home away from home, this is
the primary reason why we find students from every conceivable part of
the country, including places like, Delhi, Lucknow, Chennai, Bangalore
etc, not to mention of the remote places of Northeast, J and K etc.<br />
12)<b>Libraries :</b>
The excellent library facilities, both in the college and some private
ones such as the BCL make Pune a educational attraction. Many a visiting
dignitary choose to deliver lectures in Pune to make a grade for
themselves and add a feather into their cap that they had a discourse in
Pune too. That seems to be the educational richness of this place.
Prosperity dawns in Pune, this is a well established fact.<br />
13)<b>Pune of the West :</b>
Oxford of the East, it is, rather it may be prudent to call Oxford as
the Pune of the West, may be in reality it is being called so, could
someone care to check please.... Hey Now you know why to study in
Pune!!<br />

When shopping for educational software for your child, it is
important to realize that not all educational computer games are created
equal. For example, Donkey Kong Jr. Math is still known as one of worst
selling games in the Nintendo Entertainment System empire. Built on
the same concept as the popular game Donkey Kong, many children found it
belittling and boring. This game forced players to answer math
questions before they could proceed to the next level. The problem was,
the educational component was so obvious and so intrusive to the game
that most players simply put the game aside after a few attempts.<br />
More
recently, Jerusalem, part of the Adrian Blake Trilogy, has come under
fire from players and reviewers alike for being one of the more didactic
and uninteresting educational games on the market. This game attempts
to teach players about Christianity, Islam, and history by talking
players on a role-playing game. The problem is that the acting, scenes,
and plot lines tend to be stilted in order to fit in the educational
content. Many players simply find the game uninteresting.<br />
Parents
can learn valuable lessons from these manufacturer letdowns. When
shopping for educational computer games, it is important to always try
out games and to select games that are fun to play as well as
instructional. Better yet, parents should have their children try out
games in order to ensure that the games are fun for children to play.
Parents will want to stay away from games that interrupt play in order
to ask questions. This is often too much like a "test" in school and
makes players give up games quickly.<br />
<b>Buying Educational Games</b><br />
Once
you have decided to buy some educational computer games, shopping will
not be difficult. Most computer stores and major toy stores now carry
large selections of educational titles. Many online retailers now carry
educational games as well. Ebay, for example, always has a good
selection of unopened and unused educational computer software at great
prices. Parents can order any title they wish online and have the games
shipped directly to their door.<br />
When buying computer games, it is
often best to buy new games and unopened games. While used educational
games are cheaper, they are also riskier. Used games often carry no
support and no technical help. If you have trouble installing the game,
you may simply be out of luck. Many used titles may also be damaged or
older versions that will not work well on a newer computer. Worse,
used versions of educational games may be illegal, pirated copies which
could expose you to legal risk. Illegal versions of games may even
carry viruses or bugs that can affect your computer. The small savings
are not worth it. For inexpensive games, try online educational games
or wait for sales on popular titles at your favorite store.<br />
In
general, when shopping for educational titles, you will want to try
games before you buy. Ideally, you will want to ask your children's
opinions about which games to choose. That way, your children will be
able to select games that they will actually enjoy playing. You will
also want to select games that will build a variety of skills. You may
want to buy several titles that build several skill sets and give your
children some variety as well.<br />

Insurance adjusters have many roles and obligations to serve the
public and their company. Their main purpose is to investigate,
evaluate, and settle insurance claims. There are many different
industries an adjuster can work for. They must be knowledgeable in what
their specific company insures. The three most popular items an adjuster
assesses damage on are homes, automobiles, and office buildings. They
usually just specialize in one or the other. Adjuster continuing
education keeps adjuster professionals up to date on different laws and
regulations that pass in their specific state or in their specific
industry. One of the most popular courses is ethics for the adjuster.
Ethics is important in every industry but may be one of the most
important attributes to a successful adjuster. Another popular course is
adjuster case law. It covers all of the rules and regulations an
adjuster must abide by. State laws change every so often so it is
important to stay up to date on them.<br />
An adjuster has a couple of
different options when completing their educational training. They can
do it online or in a classroom. Online is typically the preferred
method. Online adjuster courses are usually inexpensive and can be
completed within a couple of hours. It saves the insurance adjuster time
and money. If the agent decides to sit in a classroom they have to
listen to an instructor for however many hours the course is worth. So
if it is a three credit hour class, the agent will sit for a three hour
lecture. The good thing is there is no final exam after the lecture. The
agent can just sign an affidavit saying they attended. These classes
are still popular today because agents can network with other adjusters
and avoid taking any exams.<br />
Every state has different rules and
regulations when it comes to insurance adjuster continuing education.
Florida for instance requires 24 hours every two years. Florida
adjusters also have specific courses they must take depending on what
type of license they hold. If you have any questions on what classes to
take make sure to contact an approved provider so they can go over
exactly what you need to meet your state's requirements. They will be
able to assist you over the phone. An approved provider can also help
you choose the correct adjuster continuing education credits you need to
fulfill all of your obligations. Make sure to complete all of your
adjuster continuing education hours by your compliance deadline to avoid
any fines.<br />

immensely and is perhaps one of the leading in the world. Now, holding
an educational organization isn't just enough. The bigger picture
demands wide online presence of the organization in the world of
education.<br />
<b>Online Presence Is A Survival Strategy</b><br />Where
40% of the world's population is still illiterate, widening prospects is
a do-factor. If your business pertains to providing education to
students in the face of diverse vocational courses, then add your
website to hosting sites and widen your prospects of reaching maximum
study groups. Remember, your service to the education industry can be a
great help. If your business aims at helping students enroll into your
vocational courses to enhance learning, then do not just let it go vain.
Make your online presence felt among hundreds and thousands of students
who might be longing to enroll into substantial study course.<br />
<b>Online Education Business Is Flourishing </b><br />
Online
education is flourishing and growing with passage of time. Most rapid

best and enhance your future prospects, it is needed that you flourish
your business among majority students.<br />
Online education is
believed to be meeting the needs and demands of the efficient workforce.

growth base of the students. So, it is a must that most of the education
companies list their business on online hosting sites where they can
expect a widened popularity.<br />
<b>Conclusion </b><br />
Mere
visibility isn't enough. Online education websites must smartly reach to
the net-users so that it gathers your business a reason to survive. For
instance, you might hold an educational vocational training centre, but
would not be too well-known. Under such a state, know students are
always on a lookout for online study assistance. In this regard,
advertise your business on a service site in a proper guided way.
Remember, education is the right of common man. If your services pertain
to helping the students with their on-time studies and training, then
it can be a great help at hand. When you enlist your mist, the guiding
factor is price. Though quite high and often over-estimated, you must

Not often does it fall to individuals to be a part of history in the
making. For the few who are given that privilege, its true value can
only be estimated only in hindsight. More than 150 years ago in a garden
at Badasht, Tahireh - Iranian poet and revolutionary - renounced her
veil and before the stunned participants announced through the power of
this deed a new age in the cause of women. Four years later, at the
moment of her execution, she cried "You can kill me as soon as you like
but you cannot stop the emancipation of women".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One and a half
centuries later, and a decade into a new millennium, I pause to remember
Tahireh, and all those men and women since, who have kept the flame of
her cause burning brightly down all the years and passed this torch on
to our generation here today; another people, another land, another
century. In my mind they remain with us, and will continue to inspire
and guide us just as we too must inspire and guide the generations still
to come.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Connection Between Education and Emancipation
<br />In the globally disseminated statement "The Promise of World Peace"
the Universal House of Justice describes the important connection
between education and discrimination, stating "...ignorance is
indisputably the principal reason...for the perpetuation of prejudice."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More
and more we realise that if we are to change the cruel, destructive
ways in which human beings treat one another, we must first change the
way they think, and the things they value. Highlighting the supreme
urgency of re-educating the souls and minds of humanity, H. G. Wells
said "Human history becomes more and more a race between education and
catastrophe."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A crucial aspect of this education which is
necessary if we are to avert catastrophe and bring balance to the
present state of disequilibrium, and which will eventually contribute to
a new definition of humanity, is the process which some have called the
'feminisation' of the planet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'Abdu'l Baha, son of Baha'u'llah, Prophet Founder of the Baha'i Faith, described this process;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The
world in the past has been ruled by force and man has dominated over
woman by reason of his more forceful and aggressive qualities both of
body and mind. But the scales are already shifting, force is losing its
weight, and mental alertness, intuition and the spiritual qualities of
love and service, in which woman is strong, are gaining ascendancy.
Hence the new age will be an age less masculine and more permeated with
the feminine ideals, or, to speak more exactly, will be an age in which
the masculine and feminine elements of civilisation will be more
properly balanced."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first entry in Collins Dictionary defining
the word education is " the act or process of acquiring knowledge...".
This broad definition vastly extends the sphere of education beyond that
limited and formalised type of education provided by the state school
system. Clearly 'the act or process by which we acquire knowledge' takes
place on many levels. One purpose of this paper is to identify some of
the primary ways in which we have acquired our present beliefs about the
role and value of the sexes, and to suggest positive directions for
future educational change.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
True Education Creates Enduring Change
<br />The real value of education lies in how it permanently changes our
behaviour and our thoughts. Professor B. F. Skinner offers this
definition; "Education is what survives when what has been learnt has
been forgotten." People can learn to behave in outwardly politically
correct ways, but the real challenge is to so internalise new values
that they become an inseparable part of the individual. This is what
Baha'u'llah asks of us when He calls for us to become "a new race of
men." Steven Covey, author of "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" says
"What we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or
do." How you behave in your day-to-day life is a truer indication of
your inner beliefs than are the words you speak. For this reason we need
to focus upon our deeds rather than our words. Baha'u'llah says "The
reality of man is his thought, not his material body". In seeking to
promote the advancement of women, we need to retrain thoughts,
attitudes, beliefs and values. We need to do this for ourselves as
individuals, but we also seek to influence others at every level of our
personal and collective lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A popular catch cry of feminism has
been the statement that "The personal is political". "The Promise of
World Peace" describes how personal attitudes do indeed have political
and international consequences, stating that denial of equality
"promotes...harmful attitudes and habits that are carried from the
family to the workplace, to political life, and ultimately to
international relations."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the article 'Training for the Year
2000', James Aggrey maintains that the education of girls is of the
greater importance because "To educate a man is to educate a single
individual, but to educate a woman is to educate an entire nation." The
words of William Ross Wallace that 'The hand that rocks the cradle Is
the hand that rules the world' have become legendary.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An earlier
quotation from 'The Promise' described how inequality promotes harmful
attitudes and habits which men carry with them into all spheres of life.
It continues by saying "Only as women are welcomed into full
partnership in all fields of human endeavour will the moral and
psychological climate be created in which international peace can
emerge" and in the subsequent paragraph states "...it is through
educated mothers that the benefits of knowledge can be most effectively
and rapidly diffused throughout society."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here then are two key factors in the education and feminisation of our society;
<br />* the education of women which will enable them to participate
equally in all fields of human endeavour and in doing so become in
themselves a source of education; a 'feminising influence' to others
<br />* the crucial role played by women in the education of the coming generation</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Education of Men is Crucial to True Equality
<br />It is impossible to consider the issue of the advancement of women
as belonging to women alone. In fact the Universal House of Justice
states it is an issue that men too must own;
<br />"It is important to acknowledge that the wellbeing and advancement
of men is impossible as long as women remain disadvantaged. Men can not
be happy whilst women are oppressed, and neither can they hope to remain
unaffected by the changes women are making for themselves. The growth
and development of women needs to be balanced by complementary growth
and development on the part of men."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Poet and pacifist Robert Bly stated:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Contemporary
man is lost... damaged by a childhood lack of contact with a strong
male figure to initiate him into manhood. He has become a "soft' or
naive' male, who, by rejecting the aggressive and obnoxious male traits
that he has been taught women dislike, has also abandoned the forceful
and heroic aspects of masculinity, to the detriment of society."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Christchurch
psychotherapist Paul Baakman bluntly observed "No wonder when boys grow
up they can't talk with other men, they've never learnt to talk with
their bloody fathers."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The N.Z. Dominion newspaper carried a
report of an 11-country study of parental involvement with children. The
study reported that "Preschoolers worldwide are alone with their
fathers on average less than one waking hour a day...". In their survey
of the routines of four-year-olds, researchers found young children were
rarely in the sole care of their fathers, regardless of the culture,
and the article quoted an editor of the study as saying that "It
certainly indicates that the rhetoric of equality and the male taking
his share of the responsibility for child-rearing is a lot of talk but
certainly not a lot of action."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sandra Coney writing in the N.Z.
Sunday Star Times (22.1.95) describes how faulty perception of male
roles in society creates negative behaviour patterns which may have
contributed to that country having the world's highest youth suicide
rate, reporting;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Research by the Alcohol and Public Health
Research Unit at Auckland University found low self esteem was the
dominant characteristic of today's young men.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The men's peer group
was their principle source of belonging, support and acceptance. The
group's solidarity was reinforced by drunken, foolish exploits which won
approval and became part of the lore of the group.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Women
threatened the young men and the cohesion of the group. They represented
commitment, responsibility and the possibility of rejection. The men
protected themselves from this by being hostile and offensive around
women.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cultural context we provide for young men is all wrong.
We expect, even tolerate their antisocial behaviour. Fathers provide
poor role models as husbands and fail to develop emotionally close
relationships with their boys."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And, as final evidence of the
faulty role modelling of males in Western society, let's not forget
comedian Rod Dangerfield who also suffered from low self esteem as a
child, and complained; "Once I told my father, 'Nobody likes me'. He
said, 'Don't say that - everybody hasn't met you yet." "</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The need
to develop positive sex roles is common to both men and women, and
presents an important challenge for our communities in order to heal
past sufferings and bring about personal transformation, through
identifying and developing strong options for the future. As Elizabeth
Kubler Ross said; "I'm not OK, you're not OK, but that's OK".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'Abdu'l-Baha
emphasises that the equality of men and women presents issues which
will negatively affect us all until they are resolved;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Until the
equality between men and women is established and attained, the highest
social development of mankind is not possible....Until woman and man
recognise and realise equality, social and political progress will not
be possible."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Supporting the advancement of women is clearly in
the interests of men, on many levels. Because women are the first and
most influential trainers of sons, their development will in turn enrich
men, who will be better educated from the earliest years at the hands
of proficient mothers. When fully one half of the world's human
resources, lying largely untapped in the hearts and minds of women, are
released and developed, the potential for global transformation on every
level is profound. Therefore, in view of the eventual advantages to
both males and females, it is easy to see why Abdu'l-Baha states "The
woman is indeed of the greater importance to the race. She has the
greater burden and the greater work..." '</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
New Concepts of Power
<br />Many people have felt the need to coin new terms for the advancement
of women that are not burdened with the negative associations many now
attach to the word 'feminism'. The term 'feminisation' has already been
mentioned. Another phrase used by Maori in New Zealand-"mana
wahine"-refers to a recognition of the rights of a woman to participate
in all aspects of society. Until recently there have been clear
distinctions between politically feminist and more spiritually-inspired
thought. Feminism has focussed strongly on the achievement of equality
through the acquisition of power by women. The spiritually-inspired
ideal seeks power too, but in a different context. The development of a
more balanced view was expressed in the opening address at the 1985
Nairobi Conference on Women by the Conference Secretary-General who
commented ;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Power, as it is increasingly seen by women today, is
not a means of dominating others but rather an instrument to influence
political, social and economic processes to create a more humane and
democratic world. Will this vision be translated into reality? Let us
hope so."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this context women seek the power to influence, to
have access to areas of human endeavour where our voices can be heard
and our feminising influence, our 'mana wahine', felt. We seek for men
to actively support us in becoming more educated, more influential. One
potent means of educating others is through the 'power' of example.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Role Modelling
<br />Role modelling is a popular term for what is referred to in Baha'i
teaching as 'the dynamic force of example'. Tahireh was an early
champion of this influence, in her challenging words to "Let deeds, not
words, be your adorning." 'Abdu'l-Baha offered the example of His own
life, saying; "Look at Me, follow Me, be as I am". The Universal House
of Justice calls upon the Baha'i community to be a model.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Women
have always exerted a strong yet often unacknowledged influence upon
following generations through the power of their own lives. Macho
Australian league player Alan Jones said; "What Australia needs today
are examples and heroes, people and standards to look up to and live by.
My mother will always be my hero."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The powerful attraction
exerted by mothers makes them important teachers and role models for
better or for worse, whether they do so consciously or unconsciously.
Even the physical proximity of mothers is powerfully attractive; Helen
Keller recalled; "I used to sit on my mother's knee all day long because
it amused me to feel the movements of her lips and I moved my lips too,
although I had forgotten what talking was."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The creation of more
role models for young women was considered to be one of the lasting
benefits of Women's Suffrage Year. Our communities need to consider how
we can promote good role models for both our male and female children,
within our families and within wider society, in day-to-day life and in
their formal education.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Women's History
<br />How well does the present system of state education promote healthy
sex role attitudes? Personally speaking, my own experience of school
inclines me to the same view as rugby-playing All Black Andy Haden who
said "I make no secret of the fact that I went to school to eat my
lunch"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Does the content of our formal education promote healthy
attitudes free from prejudice or is prejudice still perpetuated in ways
which are especially dangerous because they are so insidious, subtle and
deceptive? Our present education system is in reality only a narrow
slice of human knowledge; it omits the input of many cultures and, with
few exceptions, fully one half the world's population since it is
largely the history and knowledge of men. It denies intuition, and
creates an artificial separation of church and state, of science and
religion, of materialism and human values.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For example, Rosalind
Miles, in 'Review of The Women's History of the World' tells us what we
could have been, but were not, taught, that;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Aspatia, a women of Miletos was Plato's principle teacher.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aristoclea, another woman, taught Pythgoras.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In
the fourth-century Alexandria, Hypatia, again, a woman, invented the
astrolabe, the planisphere and a hydroscope, Artemesia in the command of
the fleet, defeated the skilful Athenians near Salamis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mary
Reiber was transported to Australia in 1790 at the age of 13, for
stealing a horse; she was to become a grain trader, hotelier, importer,
property developer and shipping magnate."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is no surprise that
girls have grown up burdened by a belief that they have only a narrow
sphere of influence and opportunity in the world, whilst males have an
opposite but also burdening belief that they must know everything. This
societal pressure has produced what was wittily described in an article
called "Male Answer Syndrome; Why men always have opinions, even on
subjects they know nothing about." I admit the tone of this article is a
little flippant and unscholarly, but readers who are able to approach
it with a sense of scientific detachment can easily recognise the key
point, which is of course an exposure of the tragedy of faulty sex role
stereotyping.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mothering
<br />Politically-slanted feminist conceptions of power usually diminish
the role of motherhood with its attendant physical and historical
limitations and restrictions. Spiritually-based teachings on equality
place great emphasis on the role of women as mothers. Indeed, this is
the area in which women have the greatest manifestation of their power.
'Abdu'l-Baha states that the greatest of all ways to worship God is to
educate the children and that no nobler deed than this can be imagined,
thus acknowledging the primacy of mothers in their capacity to shape
minds and souls during a child's most formative period. In this context
it is mothers who, upon receiving the necessary education and resources
to maximise their own potential, can "..determine the happiness, the
future greatness, the courteous ways and learning and judgment, the
understanding and faith of their little ones."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The role of women
in educating children, particularly in early childhood, provides the
vital foundation for the collective education of humanity, for it is in
early childhood that values are most effectively transmitted from one
generation to the next, and "....it is through educated mothers that the
benefits of knowledge can be most effectively and rapidly diffused
throughout society." It follows that the role of the family in the
advancement of women is a crucial one for it is here that attitudes are
most rapidly and effectively disseminated from the individual to the
family and ultimately to the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Therefore, in considering future directions in the advancement of women, primary considerations include;
<br />* raising the status and perceived value of mothering
<br />* providing training and resourcing for women to become competent mothers
<br />* developing and promoting quality parenting programmes
<br />* investigating and demonstrating how such mothering is compatible with full participation in wider human society
<br />* providing good role models of this compatibility
<br />* educating and supporting fathers, and providing strong role models
<br />*fostering an understanding and value of the importance of families to the world
<br />*fostering the development of scholarship and literature to develop new models for mothers, fathers, families, workplaces etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Transmission of Values
<br />A primary function of the mother is to teach good character and
conduct, to train the children in values. Without morals or values,
education can become as much a source of harm as advancement.
G.M.Trevelyan observed of education that it "...has produced a vast
population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth
reading."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There appears to be one noteworthy exception to the
lesser role into which men have traditionally cast women. Those values
which men may not be able to recognise in women collectively, they are
often able to appreciate in their own mothers. The musician Glenn Miller
testified to his mother's training in values, describing her as "The
inspirational head of a family in which she tried hard to establish an
exceptionally high code of morality and a really deep-seated and lasting
mutual love."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Len Evans said of his mother; "There was great
love, affection and care, but there was also a rigid code of conduct
which followed her perception of exactly what was right or
wrong...inflexible, stubborn perhaps, but also totally honest, upright,
endearing and supportive. A woman to be reckoned with."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
development of courses such as The Virtues Project, a global grassroots
initiative inspiring the practice of virtues in everyday life, have
proven to be effective first steps in helping mothers and fathers raise a
new generation committed to equity, justice, cooperation, peacefulness
and those other divine qualities which will transform individuals,
galvanise nations, and unite the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ultimately, all those who
labour in the cause of the emancipation of women must realise that
concepts of equality, unity and equity are spiritual concepts. Their
true attainment is reached only through spiritual striving, They cannot
be lobbied, legislated or demonstrated for. Feminism for the most part
seeks to create outer forms and representations of equality, but it is
not looking to the only sure and underlying source of sustained unity
which is achieved through spiritual education which begins in the
family.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Peace Issues
<br />New Zealand is distinguished for being the first country in the
world to grant votes for women; it is also a country distinguished for
horrific loss of life on the battlefields of the twentieth century.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"My poor little New Zealand" said James Herbert Henderson. "Exporting frozen meat in peace, live meat in war."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Women
are the most important factor in world peace; surely the present day
battlefield of women, having attained distinction in winning the vote,
is to become distinguished in the pursuit of a peace which will preserve
the lives of sons and grandsons to come. The Universal House of Justice
states;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The emancipation of women, the achievement of full
equality between the sexes, is one of the most important, though less
acknowledged prerequisites of peace. The denial of such equality
perpetuates an injustice against one half of the world's population and
promotes in men harmful habits that are carried from the family to the
workplace, to political life, and ultimately to international relations.
There are no grounds, moral, practical, or biological upon which such
denial can be justified. Only as women are welcomed into full
partnership in all fields of human endeavour will the moral and
psychological climate be created in which international peace can
emerge."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The peace which spiritually-minded women seek is not to
be gained by waving banners and lobbying politicians, but by creating in
our human society a climate both moral and psychological, in which the
attitudes of peace will gain widespread acceptance. The process of the
feminisation of the workplace will introduce into daily life those
qualities essential to the creation of a peaceful world, as women model
the reality of "Abdu'l-Baha's words that "...women are most capable and
efficient...their hearts are more tender and susceptible than the hearts
of men...they are more philanthropic and responsive toward the needy
and suffering...they are inflexibly opposed to war and are lovers of
peace."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When women, aided and encouraged by those very men whose
own lives are most at risk from war, achieve full partnership in all
areas of influence and decision making, the qualities of tenderness,
compassion and peacefulness will prevail in human affairs, and the Most
Great Peace, the Kingdom of Heaven, will come.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I began by
recalling the events of the conference at Badasht, and the occasion on
which Tahireh chose to announce the liberation of women from the
shackles and veils of the past. I close with those same words from the
Qur'an with which Tahireh, the Pure One, concluded that address, and
which foreshadow the age of peace to come;</div>

Quality educational toys help to children are not hard to find. Toy manufacturers design toys promote learning while having fun.<br />
Toy
manufacturers are dedicated to designing educational products to assist
kids with learning. These days if you visit a toy store you will notice
that products are sorted by skill set and age. Manufacturers design
quality education products that can help kids advance.<br />
Kids spend
so much of their day playing with toys that toy manufacturers know that
parents are choosing products that will encourage their kids grow and
learn. When parents visit a toy store they are not just buying products,
but buying things that help their kids learn in one way or another.<br />
Some
of the most commonly purchased toys are building blocks, puzzles, play
kitchen sets and dolls. If designed properly each of these products, can
encourage kids to reach new milestones.<br />
Blocks are a very popular
toy for toddlers. Blocks come in a variety of shapes, textures and
materials. Blocks are great for toddlers because they help build hand
eye coordination, they enhance a child's creativity and imagination.
Parents love blocks because they allow toddlers to explore and learn
about other things. In addition, blocks also teach kids how to have
patience. As blocks fall kids learn that they have to keep trying until
they get it right.<br />
Play kitchen play areas are another popular
choice in quality educational products for kids. Play kitchens are great
for kids because they foster pretend play, creativity and imagination.
Play kitchens encourage kids to learn about foods, cooking and common
household appliances. These type of activity play centers are great
because they help kids learn about their home and environment in which
they live.<br />
Puzzles are also an all-time favorite toy. Toy
manufacturers design puzzles for all the various age groups. Puzzles are
excellent items to purchase because they can be used to help children
learn while playing. Puzzles can help kids recognize the letters of the
alphabet, how to count, shapes, colors and animals. Puzzles promote and
improve hand-eye coordination and are useful for brain development.
Puzzles are also great for kids because they encourage children to think
logically. This piece fits here, so this piece must fit here.<br />
Board
games are another great toy to buy. Toy manufactures have started
designing board games for very young toddlers because they promote
learning. Board games like puzzles allow kids to learn the alphabet,
colors, shapes, animals and many other things. What's great about board
games is it usually involves more than one player so children can have
fun playing with others. Products that encourage playing with others are
always highly recommended.<br />
Another popular product that every
household seems to have are hand held video games. These video games
aren't what they used to be. Now, hand held video games are designed to
help kids learn how to read, spell and write. These video games also
teach things like math, geography, languages and so many other things.<br />
Clearly,
toy manufacturers are designing quality educational products that
promote learning because so many kids spend their entire day playing.
Parents will always pick quality educational products over ones that are
not.<br />
