Education & School

Education and Stone Age

The History of Education goes way back when Adam set his foot on this earth and passed his knowledge on to the generation followed by him. Education thus in Simple words is passing of already discovered knowledge to another generation. Education as a science cannot also be separated from the educational traditions that existed before. Knowledge was actually the natural outcome of an individual while fighting the battle of survival and the transfer of this understanding to the newcomers originated the phenomenon of Education in general. The transfer of knowledge gradually evolved into distinct cultures and oral language was developed into Symbols as well as pictures to further enhance the process of handing over.

When cultures began to extend their knowledge beyond the basic skills of communicating, trading, gathering food, religious practices, etc, formal education, and schooling, eventually followed.

Education and religion:

Initially the most popular mode of education in various regions of the world was religion. The religious priests not only taught religion but also the principles of writing, the sciences, mathematics, and architecture. The regions like Egypt, India and China are popular for the propagation of education through religious scholars. The basis of formal education were really strong in religions like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Jewish. All of the religions incorporated their sacred worship places as a mode of extending their knowledge and learning about the realities of life.

Zweifellos ist dies die animierte Arterie von Barcelona. Aufgeteilt in fünf Abschnitte, leitet sie Ihren Namen von dem arabischen Wort „Ramla”, was so viel wie „sandiges Flußbett”, ab. Diese 1,2 Kilometer lange Passage läuft durch das Herz der Innenstadt, vom Columbus-Denkmal im  Süden bis zum Placa de Catalunya im Norden.

Die 1.2 km lange Straße markierte bis ins 14. Jahrhundert hinein die westliche Stadtgrenze. Später wurden hier verschiedene Klöster gebaut. 1775 wurden die Stadtmauern durch die mittelalterliche Werft Drassanes ersetzt. Ende des 18. Jh. wurde dann eine Promenade angelegt. Im Laufe der Zeit hat sich La Rambla oder Las Ramblas als Treffpunkt für alle sozialen Schichten entwickelt.

Heute ist die La Rambla sicher die beliebteste Flaniermeile für Touristen als auch für Einheimische. Das besondere Flair erhält die Rambla sicher auch durch die Abwechslung, die sie den Besuchern bietet. Die Las Ramblas ist in 5 kleinere Straßen unterteilt: die Rambla de Canaletas, die Rambla dels Estudis, Rambla de San José o Rambla dels Flors, Rambla de Capuchinos und Rambla de Santa Monica. Die Rambla dels Flors war im 19. Jahrhundert der einzige Ort in Barcelona, wo Blumen verkauft wurden.

Die La Rambla ist ein Ort zum Schlendern und Spazieren und es ist immer was los. Sie ist mit Kiosken, Blumenhändlern, Restaurants, Bars, Geschäften und Mimen ausgeschmückt. Las Ramblas ist auch Heimat für viele Straßenkünstler,w elche für die einzigartige Atmosphäre dieser Straße beitragen. Seien Sie vorsichtig, denn heute sind viel mehr Touristen als Einheimische auf der La Rambla unterwegs und deshalb ist sie ein beliebtes Ziel für Taschendiebe geworden.  Read more...

Jobs, financial problems, time, and family responsibility are frequently the reason why many find that they simply cannot return to school to further their education. Fortunately, with today’s technology anyone can take advantage of the benefits of online education.

Obesity is defined as an excessive accumulation of body fat. Obesity is present when total body weight is more than 25 percent fat in boys and more than 32 percent fat in girls. There are various medicines like Phentermine, Adipex etc. which aid in the weight loss for adults but these medicines are definitely not meant for children.

Causes of Childhood Obesity:

- Family: A child whose both parents are obese has a higher chance of developing obesity as compared to other children. This can happen for a variety of reasons like genetic factors or may be the sedentary lifestyle of the parents or the lack of exercise in their daily routine. This can make the child born with obesity.

- Inactive Life: Children these days spend more of their time on playing video games and watching T.V. This has prevented the children of today to engage in some healthy ground activities like sports. Hence children are gradually becoming couch potatoes. Leading an inactive life has made them grow into an obese from just being overweight.

- Heredity: Since not all children leading a sedentary lifestyle, watching more of television, and eating just about anything does not make every child obese therefore researchers are working upon the reasons that why it is so. Heredity has recently been shown to influence fatness, regional fat distribution, and response to overfeeding. In addition, infants born to overweight mothers have been found to be less active and to gain more weight by age three months when compared with infants of normal weight mothers, suggesting a possible inborn drive to conserve energy.  Read more...
