Definition of human rights by Winona LaDuke In this speech, how does Winona LaDuke define “human rights”? What rights is she urging? How does she (re)define international law? Winona LaDuke defines human rights as the rights of all human beings on earth, which is inclusive of the rights of indigenous people. She posits that indigenous people are nations and meet all the stipulations to define them as so. Much like the people of any other country in the world, indigenous people have the right to self-determination under Article 1 of the UN’s International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. She states that just because the industrialized world is more developed than that of indigenous people does not mean that the rights of the indigenous people should be violated for the benefit of superpower corporations. LaDuke urges the respect of the rights of indigenous nations, women, and the earth. She connects the similarities between the exploitation of the planet to the way women, especially indigenous culture, are exploited. She says that women should be allowed to lead a life of…

Discussions on Architecture Discussion 1: What Was Wright Up To? Questions Architecture has taken a different course in the modern world. Wright wanted to be different from the other architectures in the world. What was Wright’s philosophy about architecture? Landscape determines the structure of the house, and it also profoundly influences architectural designs. Does modernism apply the same principles in design and construction? The traditional houses were structured while highly observing the relationship between a structure and the landscape. What was the relationship between the traditional house and the land? Question 1: Organic Architecture I think some of the features identified in Wright’s designs encompass clerestory windows, a one-story rambling elongated plan for the floor, and overhanging eaves. Frank was determined to obtain a harmonious balance with the landscape for the site of the building. For example, spring green is formed like a dock or a bridge on the Wisconsin River. Taliesin West roofline protrudes towards the Arizona hills, stepping in paths located on the down to the desert pools that are appearing like liquid. Taliesin is built synonymous with…

Discussions on Architecture Discussion 2: Falling Water: The House on the Waterfall Questions Frank Wright Falling Water architecture periodic breaks into a natural setting which is not taxing but it is absorbing. What relationship with nature does the falling water architecture express? While sitting in the living room at Falling Water, laurel bushes, mossy patches and birch bushes are visible from the window. Is it possible for most architectures to regard what is outside the house than what is inside the house while approaching their architectural design? Falling Water was an extraordinary building in the 20th century. Which basic materials were used to construct the building?   Question 1: How does Falling Water reflect Wright’s ideas about Organic Architecture? I think the organic architecture revolves around the concept that human life is part of nature and Wright introduced an outcropping rock which projected over the floor of the living room into a vast central hearth. The devoted incorporation of nature and the environment where the building was structured reflects Frank Wright ideas on nature. The house is contouring into the…

  The role of media in influencing societal attitudes The media plays a crucial role in influencing societal attitudes from different perspectives. Media encompasses various channels, including television, radio, newspaper, and recently social media, which has continued to convert the world into a global village. Primarily, mass media serves such various reasons in society as educating the civic, informing them, and entertaining them. However, a notable problem is a bias, where the media presents information in favor of one group within society. Such partiality might be in the form of reporting negative stories about the entity, which helps to propagate harmful stereotypes and, therefore, affecting how the larger society treats them. Three theoretical perspectives help to explain the impact of the media on the development of societal attitudes. The first viewpoint is functionalism, which views mass media as a necessary tool for the smooth running of society. The next is the interactionist theory that depicts the press as a tool that creates meaning in the minds of the audiences through symbols. Interactionists also seem to explain how the mass media…

                Enterprise Resource Planning System Name Institution Affiliated     Enterprise Resource Planning System Information Silos Information silos refer to information management systems that cannot communicate freely with other systems that deal with information management, leaving the information sequestered inside each system. Communication in information management systems is always vertical. Hence it makes it impossible for the information systems to work with other systems that are unrelated to it. An information silo comes about when an organization or business does not see the need or benefits of sharing information within the different branches or departments that exist. These organizations think that access to information is not of any use to the people in other systems. The Problem of Information Silos for Organizations Information silos generally cause a lot of issues and problems for organizations that do not effectively share information across the different departments and divisions of the organization. Information silos create the duplication of the effort and work of employees. This duplication is because there is no communication. Hence the different employees…

Incorporation of technology in Early Childhood Education in Chiledu Academy The purpose of this research is to assess the incorporation of technology in early childhood education.  This research is a case study of Chiledu Academy where the school’s teachers were respondents. It also incorporates observations made in the school’s educational setup. The content analysis technique is used to analyze the data that was obtained from the institution. Findings from the research show that the institution has already acknowledged that technology is improving the skills of their students. It is also evident that it is a collective obligation of the government, the teachers and the parents to make sure that the resources available for the young students are educative and relevant for the students. They, however, acknowledge that without monitoring, this resource can be possibly utilized to corrupt the minds of the innocent young children In his article about Computer education and use by pre-school teachers, Towns clearly acknowledges Tsitouridou and Vryzas acknowledgment of integrating ICT in the teaching of young children (Towns, 2010 p. 28). He clearly states that teachers…
