Mr. , Mrs. , Miss, and Ms.

大家都知道在英语中M r.,M rs.,和M iss的意思。M r.用在男子名字前,M rs.用在已婚女子名字前,M iss用在单身女子名字前。但是M s.到底是什么意思呢?当你不知道某女子是否已经结婚时,人们则在女子姓名前加上M s.。有些妇女声称M r.没有表明男子是否已经结婚。这是男子的优势。他们想要在这一点上和男子平等。于是,他们喜欢M s.这个单词。这些妇女认为他们婚否对于别人来说不是一件重要的事情。Y ou all know them eaning of M r.,M rs.,and M iss.M r.is used be-fore the nam e of m en.M rs.is for m arried wom-en and M iss is f…     

Biological explanation,political ideology,and “blurred genres”;: A Bakhtinian reading of the science essays of J. B. S. Haldane

J. B. S. Haldane, in attempting to show connections between Marxist political theory and Darwinian evolutionary theory, blurs the generic characteristics of political and scientific discourse. Read from the perspective of Bakhtin, this blurring of genres is also a blurring of ideologies. Haldane's essays thus contribute to our understanding of the cultural dimensions of scientific activities and accordingly help re‐define concepts of genre in scientific writing.     

A Review of: “Organizing Schools for Improvement: Lessons from Chicago. Anthony S. Bryk,Penny Bender Sebring,Elaine Allensworth,Stuart Luppescu,and John Q. Easton.”

This article summarizes the results of a study of state and local practices related to the implementation of Title I of the Improving America's Schools Act (IASA; 1994). In translating policy to practice, state and local practitioners articulated how they approached the provisions of IASA: the expectation that all children will meet challenging state standards, flexibility with accountability, targeting funds, family and community partnerships, and support system roles and infrastructure. This snapshot of reform in progress shows that multiple chains of events at the national and state levels influenced the implementation of the law and that more time and support are needed to produce the impact intended in the Title I reauthorization.     

Standing in need of justification: Michael Apple,R.S. Peters and Jürgen Habermas

Curriculum decisions are increasingly seen as technocratic or bureaucratic problems, rather than democratic issues that must be deliberated over. As such, curriculum decisions are placed in the hands of a small minority of bureaucrats and business elites who assume the only purpose of education is to prepare children for college and/or the labour market. Within these times, it is essential to revisit classics works in order to move forward a critical theory of the curriculum. To develop a critical theory of the curriculum, I shall revisit two classic books in curriculum studies—R.S. Peters’s Ethics & Education and Michael Apple’s Ideology and Curriculum. I place Michael Apple and R.S. Peters in conversation with each other because both believe, albeit differently, that the curriculum ‘stands in need of justification’: both agree the curriculum must be publically justified through democratic deliberation. Furthermore, Apple and Peters develop different sets of tools for a critical theory of the curriculum—Apple provides tools for critique and Peters tools for the normative standards. However, both inadequately develop the normative standards for determining when the curriculum is democratically justified. These normative standards, I argue, are developed by Habermas’s critical theory of discourse ethics which is capable of building upon and expanding the insights of Apple and Peters.

I guess you could say my life began pretty normally. I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana on September 24th, 1982. No big thing at all except for the fact that I was the first son of Terry and Kim Edwards and the first grandson for both sets of grandparents.     

The Promotion of “Civility” and the Quest for the Creation of a “City of Peace”: The Beginnings of Trinity College,Dublin and of Harvard College,Cambridge, Mass.

The paper seeks to investigate the process of the “transfer of knowledge"from the reformed university in Cambridge to the quite alien socio‐political conditions of Ireland and later to the New World. The “transfer of knowledge” fiom the English to the Irish environment was seen as relocating an ideal replica of the original The same was intended in the case of the founding of Harvard by the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Company. Both new locations, i.e. Dublin (1592) and Harvard (1636), were identified by Puritans who took their role of “civilising” a wilderness and Christianising society very seriously. Universities, despite their medieval European origin, were thought of as vital instruments in the “civilising” process. A Puritan network, communicating between all three locations, can be identified; its members endeavoured to centre their “city of peace” on the universities and their refined scholarship; this seemed indeed easier in New England than in Ireland.
