¶ … College and High School Life
High School and College education are the last two phases in an individual's life as one prepares to go and live in the 'real world.' These phases in an individual's educational development is necessary to make a person well-equipped with the necessary tools that all people need in going through life in the real world: knowledge and skills. Through knowledge and skills, an individual can develop himself better, and what better way to become successful in the real world but to live high school and college life in the most productive way as possible.
Although high school and college education are both part of an individual's educational development, they vary in treatment and scope of learning of an individual. In comparing these two educational developments, three important classifications are important: first, the scope of educational learning of an individual, second, the degree of social interaction required in studying and living through the educational phase, and lastly, the application of the skills and knowledge acquired in an individuals' learning process.
The scope of learning in high school is easier than in college. In high school, what an individual learns is a general, comprehensive view of the basic and important studies in the world.

Although the scope of learning in high school is wider than in college, the discussion of each topics or studies is shallower, or more integrated than that of college. While high school studies dabbles with these important studies in an informative manner, college education deals with a specific subject or area within a particular study. As an illustration of this point, take for an example a comparison between a high school and college student studying for a biology class. While the high school student studies biology in a comprehensive manner, that is, an infusion of both botany and zoology, a college student will study biology in terms of either the zoology or botany area. It is evident that in high school, knowledge and skills learned are more general and broader in scope, while college students have more defined, intensive, and specific topics to study and master.
One similarity between high school and college education is in the method of instruction. One of the traditional systems of educational institutions is the teaching of one teacher in an average of about 30 or less students. However, the treatment of teachers to their students and their studying differs in high school and college. In high school, students are 'spoon-fed' by the teachers regarding a subject matter, while college students are expected by their professors to have learned the material or subject or…

World War II in the Context of History and Modern Warfare The 20th Century was simultaneously a Century of exceptional advancement and unsurpassed violence.

These men represented a number of virtues and standards that were in accordance with those core, basic elements of humanity that the war threatened. The affection that the author feels for the old breed, in their attempts to help him and others ultimately win their own personal wars against debauchery, are alluded to in the following quotation. War is brutish, inglorious, and a terrible waste. Combat leaves an indelible mark
Japan would be obliged to negotiate with each former enemy in terms of making reparations. It appears therefore that any attempts at creating peaceful solutions to the conflicts arising during the World Wars culminated in much further conflict, particularly as involving the United States, Germany and the U.S.S.R. Furthermore, it also appears that the ideal of taking sufficient time in order to prevent further conflict was somewhat defeated by conflicts

Wilson, a student of public administration, favored more governmental regulation and action during a time when large monopolies still existed. He saw the role of public administration as "government in action; it is the executive, the operative, the most visible side of government, and is of course as old as government itself" (Wilson 235). The pendelum swung, though, and the government was blamed for many of the ills that
