With all of the media attention the topic receives, some could assume that the use of Photoshop on the vast majority of people seen in magazines, on movie posters and in advertisements is common knowledge.

  • placing children with special needs in regular classes. The hope is that this practice will improve the child's self-esteem and boost academic achievement while still providing special attention from educators. However, some argue that the disadvantages of mainstreaming outweigh the benefits.
  • including a child with disabilities in a regular classroom will slow other children in the classroom to his pace of learning. Properly challenging non-disabled children while helping a disabled peer in the same classroom may turn out to be too difficult for a teacher to manage.
  • Because disabled students often have social difficulties, they may end up as outcasts in the classroom and become more isolated than before they were mainstreamed. They may end up as targets of bullying, which may cause a regression in learning ability.

  • Some also worry that disabled students will feel inadequate or inferior if placed in a learning environment next to their non-disabled peers. The child may feel different and alone, making it even more difficult to concentrate on work. Opponents feel that mainstreaming, intended to help boost children's self-esteem, will do the opposite.
  • Some argue that educators will have to spend more time on the disabled student in regular classrooms, neglecting the other students in the class who are not disabled. Also, many teachers don't have the training to equip them to deal with those with special needs, and they may give these students inadequate education or become frustrated at their slow pace of learning.
  • schools would need to spend extra money on training teachers to teach both a regular class and assist special needs students. Many schools are already strapped for funding, and those who are opposed to mainstreaming argue that saddling the budget with special training for many teachers is unnecessary and that better and cheaper alternatives exist.

  • sibling rivalry can boost mental and emotional development, increase maturity and enhance social skills.
  • "The more combative siblings are, and the more they argue and the older child puts the younger one down, the more they are learning complex lessons about communication and the subtleties of language," said Dr Claire Hughes

  • Improving child nutrition is the focal point of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The legislation authorizes funding and sets policy for USDA's core child nutrition programs: the National School Lunch Program, the School Breakfast Program, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), the Summer Food Service Program, and the Child and Adult Care Food Program. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act allows USDA, for the first time in over 30 years, opportunity to make real reforms to the school lunch and breakfast programs by improving the critical nutrition and hunger safety net for millions of children.

Early Theories of Evolution: Darwin and Natural Selection - 0 views

shared by Aaron Stanoch on 19 Nov 14 - Cached
  • Most educated people in Europe and the Americas during the 19th century had their first full exposure to the concept of evolution through the writings of Charles Darwin
  • the idea of evolution had been strongly associated with radical scientific and political views coming out of post-revolutionary France
  • He became very interested in the scientific ideas of the geologist Adam Sedgwick and the naturalist John Henslow with whom he spent considerable time collecting specimens from the countryside around the university
  • ...11 more annotations...
  •   Especially important was his 5 weeks long visit to the Galápagos Islands in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.  It was there that he made the observations that eventually led him to comprehend what causes plants and animals to evolve, but he apparently did not clearly formulate his views on this until 1837.
  • Darwin was struck by the fact that the birds were slightly different from one island to another.
  • He realized that the key to why this difference existed was connected with the fact that the various species live in different kinds of environments.
  • On returning to England, Darwin and an ornithologist associate identified 13 species of finches that he had collected on the Galápagos Islands.  This was puzzling since he knew of only one species of this bird on the mainland of South America, nearly 600 miles to the east, where they had all presumably originated.  He observed that the Galápagos species differed from each other in beak size and shape.  He also noted that the beak varieties were associated with diets based on different foods.  He concluded that when the original South American finches reached the islands, they dispersed to different environments where they had to adapt to different conditions.  Over many generations, they changed anatomically in ways that allowed them to get enough food and survive to reproduce.  This observation was verified by intensive field research in the last quarter of the 20th century.
  • Those individuals having a variation that gives them an advantage in staying alive long enough to successfully reproduce are the ones that pass on their traits more frequently to the next generation.  Subsequently, their traits become more common and the population evolves.  Darwin called this "descent with modification."
  • An example of evolution resulting from natural selection was discovered among "peppered" moths living near English industrial cities.  These insects have varieties that vary in wing and body coloration from light to dark.  During the 19th century, sooty smoke from coal burning furnaces killed the lichen on trees and darkened the bark.  When moths landed on these trees and other blackened surfaces, the dark colored ones were harder to spot by birds who ate them and, subsequently, they more often lived long enough to reproduce.  Over generations, the environment continued to favor darker moths.  As a result, they progressively became more common.  By 1895, 98% of the moths in the vicinity of English cities like Manchester were mostly black.  Since the 1950's, air pollution controls have significantly reduced the amount of heavy particulate air pollutants reaching the trees, buildings, and other objects in the environment.   As a result, lichen has grown back, making trees lighter in color.  In addition, once blackened buildings were cleaned making them lighter in color.  Now, natural selection favors lighter moth varieties so they have become the most common.  This trend has been well documented by field studies undertaken between 1959 and 1995 by Sir Cyril Clarke from the University of Liverpool.  The same pattern of moth wing color evolutionary change in response to increased and later decreased air pollution has been carefully documented by other researchers for the countryside around Detroit, Michigan.  While it is abundantly clear that there has been an evolution in peppered moth coloration due to the advantage of camouflage over the last two centuries, it is important to keep in mind that this story of natural selection in action is incomplete.  There may have been additional natural selection factors involved.
  • The Galápagos finches provide an excellent example of this process.  Among the birds that ended up in arid environments, the ones with beaks better suited for eating cactus got more food.  As a result, they were in better condition to mate.  Similarly, those with beak shapes that were better suited to getting nectar from flowers or eating hard seeds in other environments were at an advantage there.  In a very real sense, nature selected the best adapted varieties to survive and to reproduce.  This process has come to be known as natural selection.
  • evolution occurs as a result of natural selection implied that chance plays a major role
  • He understood that it is a matter of luck whether any individuals in a population have variations that will allow them to survive and reproduce.  If no such variations exist, the population rapidly goes extinct because it cannot adapt to a changing environment
  • It was not until he was 50 years old, in 1859, that Darwin finally published his theory of evolution in full for his fellow scientists and for the public at large.  He did so in a 490 page book entitled On the Origin of Species
  • If natural selection were the only process occurring, each generation should have less variation until all members of a population are essentially identical, or clones of each other.  That does not happen.  Each new generation has new variations
