Working Disciplines Education in today's institutions is fragmented. Attempts at holistic and comprehensive understanding tend to fall short of practical usage consistently and often tragically. The purpose of this paper is to explore the discipline of physical science and how it relates or doesn't relate to other disciplines that are found in current academic studies. In this essay I will explore the difficulties and shortcomings of educational attempts to correlate and ultimately make sense of multi-disciplined explanations and knowledge.

Humanity has been blessed with the ability to communicate complex ideas and artistic expression. The goal of education is to organize and utilize these forms of communication in order to practically improve the human condition. This appears to be a very difficult task. Physics is a discipline which focuses on the reactions of strictly material influences. This discipline attempts to explain physical forces and to predict their outcomes. Why then is there so much unpredictability in existence?

In my opinion, the relative nature of the universe is inherently excluded in the scientific method and all sciences in their attempts to isolate variable forces which therefore eventually become over-focused and confusion ensues. Communication then fails due to a lack of definition. Words are symbols to represent emotions...

...

These forces cannot be physically represented, yet their effects are clearly noted. It is obvious that a disconnect in interdisciplinary studies results in the myopic view of institutional cause and effect relationships. It seems that effects are mistaken for causes which lies at the heart of this confusion.
Physics describes physical effects using abstract terminology. In fact, the language of physics is a unique blend of numbers, mathematical formulas and notations, and purpose. Unfortunately, physics fails at many levels as unified theories remain unattainable despite humanity's boastful attitude towards the discipline. Physics also fails to explain human interaction, yet it can rudimentarily explain how planets and free falling bodies interact. Physics, therefore becomes an isolated practice with a limited practicality.

Educational institutions fragment disciplines for various reasons one can assume. Specification has its purposes, but without seeing the big picture fragmentation becomes accepted practice. Research done with limited contribution to a wider scheme of understanding becomes tedious and artificial.

Another contributing factor to this fragmentation resides in the human psyche. Humanity has proven to itself that it likes to be separated from the rest of nature. The ego itself represents this notion…

Working Parent Working full time while being a parent to two children is one of the most challenging positions to be in. According to Barrow (2006), most working parents spend just 19 minutes a day looking after their children. The situation is more intense for working mothers than fathers, as record numbers of women are working full time while also contending with mortgages, household bills, and rising cost of petrol and

Students have to worry about student loans, too. Another writer says, "One out of five people who borrow money for their education will drop out in debt, but with no degree" (Draut). If they are smart enough to work while they're still in school, they may be able to save some money to put toward student loans in the future, and they may build up enough stamina to make sure

I know that I cannot give all of my students the advantages of a stable, high-income, two-parent home, a safe neighborhood, and parental involvement. If educators could do that, then there would not be an education crises in this country. However, I can work to make sure that all children receive the same real opportunities in their educational environment. This means going beyond giving children theoretical access to the

Working With the Aging Ladies and gentlemen, I stand here before you at a time in which the health care of older Americans has become a critical issue. Or should I say issues? We have more people needing more and more specialized care -- this is critical. We have fewer and fewer people being asked to do more and more -- that is critical. Current healthcare policy, especially for the aging,
