First, recent evidence has indicated that there are many different ways that students of all ages learn, and this is certainly true for adult learners just as much as it is true for those who are learning things at a younger age. Because there are inherent differences in the ways that students learn, when they are all taught in the same way their grades suffer. Some students certainly excel, but others struggle. When they are taught differently, they begin to improve and they have fewer problems with the material. That indicates that it is not the fault of the student, nor is it the fault of the material. It is really not even the fault of the teacher, but of the educational system itself, which does not really work in the way that it was designed to. Studies have shown that, despite the fact that the United States spends more on education than any other country, there are many countries where the pupils are more adept and where they are farther ahead at a younger...

This does not mean that Americans are not as intelligent, but rather it showcases the fact that there is a problem with the educational paradigm as it used to be and, to some extent, as it still is.
There are ways to correct this, however, because studies also show that changing the ways that students of any age are taught and allowing more flexibility into the educational system makes a difference in how people learn, and how well they learn. It is easy to identify the fact that there is a problem when things like this are taken into account, because it becomes very easy to see that students need to be taught differently if they are to succeed and if they are to prosper in the future. There is certainly no paradigm of education that will work all the time for 100% of the students, but staying only with the old ways is not something that is working well. That being the case, it is time to discard these ways in favor of something new.

The Power Elite (1956) describes the relationship between political, military, and economic elite (people at the pinnacles of these three institutions), noting that these people share a common world view: 1) the "military metaphysic"- a military definition of reality, possess 2) "class identity"- recognizing themselves separate and superior to the rest of society, have 3) interchangeability: the move within and between the three institutional structures and hold interlocking directorates 4)

If however she had achieved the ideal non-attachment of Buddhism, her grief would still be real, but she would experience it in a different way. Her grief would be part of a process of letting go the son who is no longer there. A degree of non-attachment would then allow her to experience the grief as outside of herself rather than as part of her individuality. This would help

Finally, the paradigm that exists between the institution and the adult learner

An article of the Physics Department at the Weber State University argues that Kuhn's complicated view is due to the essential nebulous character of the paradigm itself. Given this situation then, the authors at the Weber University argue that Kuhn's model is not entirely applicable as one cannot entirely know the features and characteristics of a paradigm, such as its components or its evolution. They go on by offering the
