Why the Byzantine Empire Lasted for so Long   Introduction The Byzantine Empire, which was on the eastern side of the Roman Empire, lasted for about a thousand years, which is twice as long as its well-known Western counterpart, but very little is known about it. The Romans, by the 3rd century AD, had conquered different territories in North Africa, Southwestern Europe, and the Mediterranean. The eastern half, where the Byzantine Empire was located, was less vulnerable to attacks from outside, and this was mainly due to its geographic location. Constantinople was positioned on a strait, which made it very difficult for any attackers to break the capital’s defense. Also, Byzantine had a small common frontier with Europe. Byzantine Empire also lasted for so long due to a strong administrative center, great wealth, and the political stability in the Empire compared to other states that existed during the early medieval era. Emperors in the Byzantine Empire had the power and knowledge to control the territory’s economic resources and could be able to effectively assemble and organize enough manpower to guard…

Why does traditional testing not always work? Introduction Traditional assessment is a conventional means of testing, which makes the use written document, such as formal questions or examinations and standardized test. These are often through a question which is given to students by their teachers and the question used to test what they have learned over some time. The most widely used traditional assessment tools include multiple-choice tests, true/false tests, short answers, and essays. They are commonly used by teachers, schools, and assessment organizations because they are economical, objective and easily scored Bailey (Quansah, 2018). While, other testing methods, such as performance-based assessment, alternative assessment or authentic assessment, are often used, the traditional way of assessment has remained one of the most common methods of learners testing. The other methods, such as Alternative assessment, includes long-form responses and essay questions remains widely useful. This essay examines some of the reasons why traditional methods of testing remain ineffective. Traditional assessment refers to the conventional methods of testing, which usually produces a written document, such as quizzes or exams. A standardized test,…

Enhancing Learning As a teacher, there is something that I have learned over the years. One of the critical things is that one needs to come up with interactive sessions. It is not often right for the teacher to keep on using the old methods in teachings. The class will be boring, and the students will not follow what you are saying. Technology has advanced, and there is a need to come up with a new learning system that is in line with advanced technology (Kagan, 2009). In this case, I have decided that I will enhance an original method with my preschool class to improve their development.  The resources, in this case, will be used to bring about equity among the children. The children will learn how to share and work with each other.  Children that are brought up in the right manner are likely to develop hence creating a better relationship with each other and advancing in their grades. The source that I have chosen is all about equity. It will help enhance children from ages 3 to…

AFRICAN-AMERICAN ENGLISH Question 1 Brennan believes in helping kids articulate switch between dialects as key to their prosperity. However, Washington believes that it is difficult for a young child to translate since dialect plays a vital unrecognized role in student learning (Brennan, 2018). As such, the author outlines that the dialect plays a significant role in the increasing test scores gap between the whites and the blacks. Brennan shows that the reading about “are you my mother” outlined problems by people using the African-American dialect relative to English life. Question 2 I have ever read a text in one language and translated it into a different linguistic background. While summarizing the context, I ensured that I did not lose the intended meaning to promote continuity. Also, I paid key attention not to translate word by word since it would alter the overall meaning and readability. I do not speak one language but would like to learn Spanish due to its global relevance based on increased interactions. Question 3 At one time, I code switched between two the two languages I…

Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget Learning Theories Learning theories explain how knowledge is absorbed, processed as well as retained during the process of learning. Its gives a platform for comprehension of how individuals learn and a path in which learning can be analysed, described, explained and predicted. This paper will focus on two theory of learning based on cognitive paradigm, that is, Piaget’s theory of cognitive development and Vygotsky’s theory of sociocultural learning. The summary, similarities and differences that exist between these fundamental theories of learning. Piaget’s theory of cognitive development is based on the cognitive paradigm of learning theory. Piaget’s theory deals with the nature of intelligence, that is how people acquire, develop and utilize knowledge (Meadows, 2017). According to Piaget, intelligence is different through various staged of development, and it’s based on the reorganization of mental processes that are brought about by biological maturation as well as environmental experience (Siegler, 2016). Piaget mentioned various concepts that influence how children learn and develop, and these include schemas, accommodation, assimilation and equilibration. Schema is an element of intelligence that assist…

The Effects of Early Skin-to-Skin Contact on Newborn Health  Skin to skin (STS) contact involves placing the newborn on the mother’s bare chest after birth. Despite recent evidence of the benefits of STS contact, it is a practice inconsistently used within the medical field. Current practice after delivery is to dry the infant under a warmer to provide routine care and to regulate body temperature (Safari, Saeed, Hasan, & Moghaddam-Banaem, 2018). However, this practice is not evidence based. To address this gap in knowledge, literature was reviewed to analyze the outcomes of early STS on neonatal mortality, thermoregulation, and breastfeeding initiation. PICO(T) Question How does early skin to skin contact (I) of a healthy newborn with the mother (P) in the first hour of life (T) compare to no skin to skin contact (C) impact on neonatal mortality, hypothermia, and initation of breastfeeding (O)?

Wim Hof breathing technique Imagine the love of your life jumping from the eighth floor to their death, leaving you with four kids to take care of. Most people deal with tragedy by withdrawing themselves from the world around them because they feel the world does not care for them. Like Wim Hof says, “The world is huge and is not interested in natural effects so much it is the money.” Instead of being overwhelmed by grief, Wim used it as a motivation to seek answers for the cause of the problems humans face. Although the Wim Hof breathing technique has been proven by many factions, including scientists to be an effective method of unlocking the full potential of our bodies’ power, it takes suspension of disbelief and personal effort and faith in the process. I agree with the argument that Hof puts across that, human beings become happy, secure, and healthy when they explore the potential their minds have through taking control of their consciousness. The fundamental method Hof uses is the breathing techniques, and according to (Brule, 25)…
