¶ … intellectual and mathematical complexities, as well as merchantry innovations and other technical changes is what transitioned the world in the 1300s from the actual Middle Ages to what we have come to recognize as particularities of modernity. Politically, the state existed as a merging of ideas spanning from late medieval concepts but it did however possess characteristics of a modern state. Let us bear in mind first and foremost that boundaries differed vastly in the fourteenth century and, separated from our vision of a state, there existed territorial states which were not always under the emperor's sovereignty. Thus, refusal to acknowledge the universality of the emperor and the preponderant desire to treat independent kingdoms relatively similar to an actual empire takes us further away from medieval thinking and closer to a modern state concept. In the fourteenth century, civilian settlements were mostly concentrated in rural areas and depended on agriculture to support themselves. However, production suffered due...
Sanitation was already poor by the time the Black Plague stroke in 1347/1348, further nourishing the nidus of infection and clearly underlying the life conditions of people in the fourteenth century and societies' minimum capacity to meet such challenges. Peasants, who represented the majority of the population in the Middle Ages, were most affected by these conditions and indeed, their well being depended each year on the outcome of crops, whether or not these failed. Their regular diet consisted of merely basic nutrient and not so nutrient elements with fruits being expensive and some vegetables very rare, whereas meat was preponderantly non-existent. Bearing these in mind, clearly, the living conditions were more medieval than modern, knowing that modernity marked the span to urbanization and capitalism which, in late medieval times, these merely represented concepts. However, the gradual increase in wealth of towns…

Intelligence Testing Few concepts in psychology are more hotly debated than the idea of what constitutes human intelligence. The definition of intelligence has become part of current culture wars as well as an area of intense scientific debate. This paper examines one popular theory of intelligence, Howard Gardner's concept of 'multiple intelligences,' which has been proposed as an alternative to the theory of 'general intelligence,' or intelligence as a concept that
Part I: Best Practices Learning disabilities, or specific learning disabilities, is a fairly well defined category that refers to impairments in functioning, typically related to language, perception, memory, or mathematical processing. The classification includes a number of conditions including dyslexia, developmental aphasia, and brain dysfunctions but does not include intellectual disabilities or emotional disturbances (Kavale, Spaulding & Beam, 2009). Moreover, learning disabilities manifest regardless of access to opportunity and other socioeconomic
Next, the facilitator will pose an introductory question that will stimulate brainstorming by engaging students in the "why" of their involvement in the group (Bouassida et al., 2006). Next a transitory question will lead to examination of the problem at hand, where the members of the group attempt to answer key questions including (1) what is the foundation of the problem (2) what tools are available to solve the
Note the distinct similarities. An examination of Escher's Circle Limit III can thus tell us much about distance in hyperbolic geometry. In both Escher's woodcut and the Poincare disk, the images showcased appear smaller as one's eye moves toward the edge of the circle. However, this is an illusion created by our traditional, Euclidean perceptions. Because of the way that distance is measured in a hyperbolic space, all of the
These people can use what they have done in their lives to better understand what they will do in the classroom. This makes sense, and should not be discounted. However, if someone is illiterate and cannot read the material at all, doing well on tests and completely comprehending what is being discussed seems as though it would be an almost impossible task. It would certainly cause a lot of
