In the context of learning, adults come to a class with certain knowledge and understanding about the subject being taught. Their age, experience and expertise prompt them to learn a subject as a solution to a problem rather than for the sake of knowledge.

For a teacher, adult student’s preconceived ideas hinder the teaching-learning process of striking common ground, creating group interest and establishing key goals for a class. Students with varied educational back grounds and experiences learn mostly as individuals rather than as a group. Such scenarios ...

The main thesis of Carole Chapman’s article is that Britain's refusal to follow the Hitler’s plan profoundly influenced his strategy.

The colonization led rise to new civilizations, cultures and later on states that translated to the merging of the European traditions and Native American institutions and people. ...

Carole Vance’s article, “Social Construction Theory: Problems in the History of Sexuality,” explains how the social construction theory can be used to help understand LBGTQ+ identities. As discussed previously, essentialism assumes that all things, at the essence, are the same or share a similar experience. However, this does not take culture into consideration, and just how far humans are constructed socially. Vance explains that the LBGTQ+ community would benefit from identifying as a socially constructed group, because assuming that sexuality is finite or natural is an essentialist argument that completely undermines people who are sexually fluid and rejects the idea ...

Symbolism is an important aspect of literature that most writers use to bring out their point.

This is simply because of the changing times as well as the influences that come with technology.

It should also be noted that modernity has come up with a different breed of writers who have taken a different approach to literature. Even ...
