¶ … Creative Class
According to proponents of the theory of the "rise of the creative class," creative capital is intrinsic to future economic development. The notion of creative capital suggests that human intellectual capital, versus other types of value, has grown in importance and this will drive economic momentum in the near and far future. Cities, regions, and nations which attract creative people with the three Ts of economic development (technology, talent and tolerance) will prosper while those who do not will lag behind. This theory has proven to be controversial, however, not the least of which is the challenge of defining tolerance. Although tolerance is sometimes defined by population diversity, this is not always the case -- in fact, diversity in some instances is associated with growing intolerance and even violence (Wimark 2012: 48). Measuring diversity also does not give sufficient acknowledgement to the phenomenon of ghettoization. However, Wimark (2012) suggests that other factors that suggest toleration must be included in such an evaluation, including a lack of hate crimes, voting patterns, and integration.

In many ways, the concepts of separating out individuals that are different has been fostered by the construction of the educational format. Tomlinson notes the fallacy of such an arrangement and provides some excellent advice with regard to classroom inclusiveness. "A classroom is -- or at least ought to be, in my opinion -- a microcosm for the world we live in. It is a community of individuals in
Also, culture can have a significant impact on individual's ability to enjoy and fully engage in the self-directed learning experience, if it was not a part of the student's previous educational context. Still, collaborative learning in language classrooms is largely deemed essential, given that language itself is a collaborative art: "In both education and language learning, emergent theory and practice emphasize the social aspect of learning. The learner is expected
CELCAT, though, is just one of dozens of vendors competing in the class scheduling software industry as well as many open sources options that are free of charge, and the thousands of colleges and universities that have undertaken the selection process have done so largely without the benefit of a set of best practices that can be used for this purpose. As a result, it is reasonable to suggest that
("Great Transformation," n.d.) Why Polanyi's ideas were more "utopian" than others? Polanyi's ideas were more utopian because he criticized the various approach to economic / political theory. At the same time, he discussed how certain economic systems were important in addressing social problems to a certain extent. An example of this can be seen with his ideas on capitalism. Where, Polanyi's was saying that it is a good economic system, for
Liberal and Realist in the Debate on the Persian Gulf War and the U.S. Clean Air Act The liberal view of the U.S. Clean Air Act would be of the nature of appointing the government as the entity holding responsibility to correct the problem resulting from the perceptual view in which carbon dioxide of which the U.S. comprises 25% of the total of carbon emissions worldwide and that regulations should
