Is there a between learning styles in China and the West? While we should be careful to avoid the difference, they do appear to exist. In China, for example, greater is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, , place more emphasis on creativity in young children, leaving them to , skills later. American parents tend to avoid rushing in to their children as they try to a task, thinking it better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach can, , be mistaken for one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantage, and it may well be to search for a , method that would combine the best of both worlds.

The real challenge to us teachers is combining the best of both worlds into one. Creativity and basic skills need to be considered in terms of being means to an , rather than simply as ends in themselves. Some Chinese students may not well in hypothetical settings, but when it comes to real life challenges and issues, they are more than in resolving most of them, as they are with their strong skills. The U.S. system may be to aim more at producing top of the cream students, but that may do damage to the big bulk of the of the

student body. The Chinese education system is not perfect, but it dose produce a workforce. And I truly believe that solid basic knowledge skill focus is the single biggest force driving the rise of China as a country.

If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was . Most of what he owns is rather and he will readily admit to the bottom income . Yet he would that he is poor, for he feels that his life is full of less riches. Rather than devoting himself to the of money before all else, he the pleasures of friendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make him feel in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurt when he remembers the departure of a girlfriend who did not share his views. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his on helping the poor through collecting each Christmas.

How does spending connect to happiness?

One explanation lies in “conspicuous consumption’. The idea is that the rich don’t

accumulate wealth in order to it. Rather they accumulate wealth in order to display it, and their happiness is by their neighbors’ envy. As a result, the country finds itself in the grips of a “luxury fever”- families with incomes of $50,000 try to emulate the consumption of those with $70,000, who in turn try to emulate those with $140,000, and so on. It’s just common sense. It’s impossible for a piece of paper like money to make you happy. Instead, what makes people happy is the feeling of or power money brings.

A new research study has found that, what parents might believe, there is an

enormous gap between what they think their children are doing online and what is happening.

In one part of the study, over 500 children from a variety of ages and backgrounds were

asked if they gave out personal information online. 73% said that they did. The parents of the children believed that only 4% of their children did so.

The children were also asked if they had made face-to face with strangers that

they had met online. 36% from the high school group admitted to meeting with a stranger they had met online. Nearly 40% of these children to speaking with strangers regularly. Fewer than 9% of the parents knew that their children had been meeting with strangers. Another part of the study found that 30% of children between the ages of 9 and 18 delete the search history from their browsers in an to protect their privacy from their parents. Common filtering software may be effective, since children will access what they are looking for elsewhere – at a friend’s house, an internet café, or school. One problem lies in the fact

that parents don’t know much about using popular online software and chat programs, and To have no clue about what is really happening online. This lack of knowledge on the parents’ part may be no from the situation before the arrival of the web. Parents don’t know what their children are doing on the Net, in the same that they don’t know what goes on at class, parties, or clubs.

With the we can escape into another world at the of a button. For many this world is a dream come true. They find they can do away with the daily and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a Internet is slow and everything at a snail’s space. The computer does not your messages nor does it out . Still others, who get the virtual world, may find communicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. they feel this so strongly that they have to from real human contact, hurrying to get back to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.

I live in a small coastal town of 398 people located halfway between San Francisco and the Oregon border. The nearest traffic light is nine miles north of Mendocino; its closest to the south is over 90 miles away. The nearest four-lane highway is 58 miles east. Federal Express doesn’t here on Saturdays. But there is Internet here. It enables me to work at home, writing computer books and articles for computer magazines. It enables local students and historian to conduct

research. It local businesses – inns, music stores, driving schools – to reach new . It enables local people to enjoy the benefits of email and the of websites and chat rooms.

In fact, because small towns have few people, few stores, and few libraries and schools, you could argue that the Internet more benefits to small towns that it does to big cities. But Internet service providers are not interested in markets. What they are interested in is making money. As a result, people in many small towns and areas are unable to keep up with the development of technology.
