Virtual Reality (VR) Introduction Virtual Reality (VR) is the manipulation of peoples’ perception of reality using interactive scenes in a virtual 3-dimension environment which is then presented in a 2-dimension form on a computer monitor (Kim). According to researchers in the communication field, VR can be either a real or simulated environment where the participant experiences a virtualized participation or telepresence in distant events. In the world of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), VR is one of the major components that significantly enhance interactions and supports collaborative activities (Kim). This paper presents a brief literature review on VR because this technology has the power to transform the learning landscape by changing the way learners interact with one another, learning materials and the way they engage with their teachers. VR enables users to perceive not only action but also movement and speech in certain circumstances. Theoretically, VR is a combination of audio, visual, olfactory, gustatory and haptic senses working in excellent coordination to simulate an environment (Kim). The question this review attempts to answer is whether VR-based education is better than…
History: Song and Ming Dynasties Question One During the Song dynasty, philosophers such as Zhu Xi and Cheng Yi reinvented Confucianism with recent commentary embedded with Buddhism ideas to emphasize on a new formulation of classical text and which brought about New-Confucianism (Weiming, 2017). The visual art was enhanced by new developments, including portrait printing and elite involvement in arts of pastime cultured scholar-officials such as composing poetry, printing, and calligraphy writing. Imperial courts were filled with the emperor entourage of court calligraphers, storytellers, painters, and poets (“BBC 2 China History 6 3 The Golden Age”, 2017). While Chinese Buddhism had waned on the influence, in philosophy, it reserved its engagement on the charities of monasteries and the arts. According to Halperin (2020), Buddhism had a tangible influence on the building organization of Neo-Confucianism under the leadership of Zhu Xi and Cheng Yi. Although the Neo-Confucianists were crucial to Buddhism and Taoism, the later did not have philosophical influence, and the New-Confucianists did not borrow terms and concepts from both. Besides, unlike Taoists and Buddhists, who used metaphysics…

Week 8 Responses- Agavni Asatryan NURS 601A FNP BRIDGE COURSE Response to Evan Pacleb Hello Evan, congratulations for making it to the last week and thanks for the informative discussion. I agree with you that reforms in the mental healthcare system are complex but can be achieved through minimizing stigmatization, prevention of mental health disorders and implementation of policies that advocate for wider mental health programs. Johansson et al. (2019), asserts that insurance companies have been in the forefront in derailing efforts towards effective mental healthcare because they often call healthcare practitioners to decide on how long patients would stay in healthcare centers or the type of medication that they should receive, simply because the insurance companies do not want to pay more funds to the beneficiary. Employers need to provide a conducive working environment that offers both social and financial support to employees with mental disorders. Employers need to pay for the health insurance of employees with mental disorders so as to access screening and treatment for the disorders. Employers should also organize counseling sessions for their employees to…

Alternative energy and the possibility of replacing Fossil fuel effectively Alternative energy refers to energy sources other than fossil energy. Alternative energy falls under two categories, which are renewable sources and nuclear. Energy sources that do not deplete or can be replenished from the renewable sources of energy hence locking nuclear energy out of this category. Andreas Libavius was the first individual to introduce the theory of the existence of fossil fuel formed from fossil remains. The term “fossil oil” was first used in the work of a German chemist named Casper Neumann. Aquatic phytoplankton and zooplankton that died millions of years ago formed petroleum and gas in the process of aerobic decomposition. Renewable energy forms the basic alternative sources of energy in that before the development of coal, almost all energy used was renewable. The oldest use of renewable energy can be seen back in the period of harnessing of wind to drive ships over water. By the 1870s, there were fears that civilization will run out of fossil fuel, and the need for a better source of energy…
American Education Student’s Name Institution Introduction Children are taken to school to learn, grow, and to prepare them to become tomorrow’s leaders. America is a nation that values diversity, and schools, therefore, receive students from different countries and cultures. These schools should be places that welcome and affirm diversity. A classroom is the heart of the learning process. Teachers are, therefore, left with a weighty responsibility to equip them with the necessary skills. Equity is consequently essential in promoting the wellbeing of students (Schniedewind & & Davidson, 2006). Students have different needs, which calls for the teachers to draw a line between equity and equality in providing their services. Equity, in its definition, encompasses a wide variety of educational strategies, programs, and models which, although they may not be deemed equal, are fair. Equality designates the provision of the same volumes of respect and instructions. Equity, however, focusses on providing individual students with the specific…
