Is it utopian to believe that "peace can make right"? That such sayings, as "Do unto others as they do unto you," and "To each one his (her) due" can actually be followed in a positive way?
In the fifth chapter of the Once and Future King, Merlyn wants to teach Arthur that the point of ruling is to create order and peace, not just to make people do what he wants them to do. Merlyn shows Arthur what a horrible thing "might makes right" is.
The author, T.H. White was a pacifist, and wrote this book during WWII. He uses the Aurthurian story to stress his own belief that violence and aggression are not the answer to life's challenges. Regardless of what government is in place,...
The answer, then, does not lie in a country, but the people who make up that country. The answer lies within all individuals to find a way of ruling in peace.
Typical of Theodor Geisel, in Dr. Seuss' "Yertle the Turtle" he captures this theme exactly as he describes the fall of Hitler in his own way. Yertle the Turtle was King of the Pond and all those that lived in this pond were content and happy until Yertle decided his kingdom was too small. He demanded that his throne to be higher, so he could overlook the outside world. So, all the fearful turtles began climbing one upon another, higher and higher, until the turtle on the bottom burped and the whole stack fell down. Yertle fell into the mud and from then on was King of the Mud (for that was all he could see), while "all the other turtles, of course... all the turtles are free as turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be." Perhaps, some day, the rulers on top who believe that "might is right" will come tumbling down and all the others will be free.
The structural linguists' rejection of conventional usage rules depends on two main arguments. The first is academic and methodological. In this age of technology, Descriptivists contend, it's the Scientific Method -- clinically objective, value-neutral, based on direct observation and demonstrable hypothesis -- that should determine both the content of dictionaries and the standards of "correct" English.

Education The English language learner (ELL) student population continues to grow at a higher rate than the student population does as a whole. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics the general population grew 9% from 1993 to 2003, while the ELL population increased 65% during that same time. The ELL student population is estimated to now include 10% of all students (English Language Learners, 2005). ELL students face the challenging
English Language Learners, Specifically Aboriginals English language learners, i.e. those learning English as a second language, have many struggles they face (Casper & Theilheimer, 2009). That is especially true when they attempt to learn English in an Early Childhood Education (ECE) capacity (Learning, n.d.). These people have been chosen for this study because they are a population that is often underserved in Canada and throughout the rest of the world. If
Semantic Feature in the English Language: Homonyms The objective of this study is to examine homonyms in the English language and their specific features. Homonyms are words that are identical in sound but which can be differentiated in them meaning. Modern English is reported to be significantly rich in words and word forms that are homonymous. It has been reported, "Languages where short words abound have more homonyms than those
Politics and English Language POLITICS AND THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE George Orwell in his essay 'Politics and the English Language' discusses the flaws and degeneration of English language. He believes that since the language is clearly losing its focus and direction, it is rapidly becoming unclear and vague giving rise to literary pieces that make little or no sense at all. Many people share Orwell's observation and feel that for some odd reason,
