COGNITIVE HOLISM: UNDERSTANDING COGNITIVE HOLISTIC THEORY OF LANGUAGE AND ITS PUBLIC UTILITY
Get PDFUnderstanding an indivisible cognition through the analytic part has its own beauty that we can call analytic skill, but that must aim at clarity and conception of the cognition which is a whole approached through individual steps. Composite forms have their own beauty, imposition of the cognition on our different allegiance has a different beauty but if one does not understand clearly the different roles the indivisible cognition plays in causing the pleasure in some and pain in others, amusing in some and an obsession in others, illuminating in some and deviating in others, one cannot enjoy wisdom and bliss. Holism talks about language as power, the potency that works differently in wise and in ignorant in causing different effects that veils and deviates from the indivisible cognition. Interpretation of the cognition needs cognitive holistic approach to realize wisdom
ALLEGORICAL CHARACTERIZATION IN WILLIAM DUNBAR’S THE GOLDEN TARGE
Get PDFSymbolism and allegory are two major rhetorical devices throughout the medieval poetic corpus. Both correspond to, or rather originate from, a way of thinking that tends to understand the world and everything in it as a “mask,” as if the surface is always deceptive. Among modern scholars on medieval symbolism and allegory, including Johan Huizinga, C. S. Lewis, Umberto Eco and Alastair Minnis, only Lewis, in his Allegory of Love, clearly differentiates the functioning process of symbolism from that of allegory. And it is Lewis’ definition of allegory that brings us closer to the core spirit of allegorical poetry as a literary genre, of which The Golden Targe, written in Middle English by the Scottish poet William Dunbar, is a fine example. This essay examines Dunbar’s allegorical characterization through a close analysis of The Golden Targe, in the hope of better understanding allegory as a pivotal mode of thought in medieval literature

WANG GUOWEI AND A DREAM OF RED MASIONS
Get PDFWang Guowei’s 王國維 (1887-1927) understanding of the idea of tragedy was inspired by two German philosophers—Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. It is generally held that the pessimistic philosophy of Schopenhauer plays a fundamental role in Wang’s borrowing from Western philosophers. Wang Guowei’s Hongloumeng Pinglun 紅樓夢評論 (Commentaries on A Dream of Red Mansions, 1904) shows that in fact he was closer to Nietzsche than to Schopenhauer. This paper focuses on the article and the idea of “tragedy” in the context of Wang Guowei, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. Although Commentaries on A Dream of Red Mansions was based on Schopenhauer’s idea, it is in fact alienated from Schopenhauer’s philosophy in the sense that it represents the double movement back into his own cultural sensibility—renjian qinghuai人間情懷 (feeling for this world). The double movement occurred in the case of using Nietzsche too, not as alienation, but as bringing in. Nietzsche’s “spirit of tragedy” was brought into Chinese culture based on Wang’s own strong initiative. Wang’s conscious closeness to Nietzsche is also an uncompleted mission since his Confucian principles are against Nietzsche’s abrupt departure from his tradition. This misunderstanding and misinterpretation shows well the true face of cross-culture communication at the beginning of 20th century, especially when we consider the development of Chinese aesthetic modernity
The TCSEFP Hybrid eMentoring Model: A Distance Education Mentoring Model
Get PDFThis article describes a hybrid eMentoring model used to support fellows during an 11-month fellowship program, the Teachers College Special Education Fellowship Program (TCSEFP). The TCSEFP is a residency in teaching (RIT) induction program that leads to the completion of a high incidence special education endorsement and a master’s degree in special education. During the fellowship, each participant receives extensive, explicit mentoring from onsite and off-site mentors. This hybrid eMentoring model, developed as a part of the TCSEFP, is facilitated in part via distance technologies.
 
Teacher Candidates as the Teacher of Record Assists Partner School Districts With the Teacher Shortage
Get PDFThis research essay examined a growing trend in a rural area of the Midwest where PK–12 school districts are partnering with a local university to hire teacher candidates (TCs) as the Teachers of Record (TORs). Many rural school districts are challenged to address the teacher shortage. As a result, many school districts are hiring TCs as the TOR during the TC’s student-teaching experience. Due to the limited research on the topic, this paper aimed to determine if appointing the TC as the TOR was an effective practice. We used three data sources to gauge the perceptions of the TC, the TC’s mentor, and the TC’s administrator. Meeting the needs of partnering districts and providing quality placements for TCs engaged in the culminating field experience can be mutually beneficial for teacher candidates, the school district, and the university

America\u27s Martial Culture and Its Evolution: A Look at the Warrior Class in Colonial America
Get PDFThis research paper attempts to answer the questions posed about martial culture in Colonial America. It ponders the importance that early Americans put on protection and the ramifications of paranoia in the colonies. Additionally, this paper examines the political ambitions of the warrior class as they turned into statesmen after retiring from the battlefield. The men who fought for independence had developed a social order in the colonies, placing themselves in positions of power. While this social order emphasized domestic security, it allowed for a pattern of racism and fear that continues today.
In the tradition of military historians such as John Shy and Don Higginbotham, this paper recognizes the early American way of war that often allowed for glorification of unjust massacres under the guise of protection. This uniquely American fighting tradition evolved to become a basis for warriors to continue their belligerency in the halls of government. In doing so, America became a country run by veterans (Washington and Jackson are great examples of the rise of martial culture to the highest office of the young nation). This has echoed through history, as voters routinely choose soldiers over scholars.
Researching data on colonial populations and presidential vetoes has yielded evidence of this evolution. The warrior class in colonial America evolved into the warrior politicians that made policies leading to atrocities against Indians, slaves, and Latin Americans. They became leaders in a nation that valued family life and the protection of it all costs
