I enjoy communicating through the written word. I write everyday; whether it be for academic purposes or not. I find inspiration for both of these forms of writing everywhere. I would like to share my inspiration and writing with you.

Education Theories Continued


Conclusion

The previous sections described three theories as well as their perspectives, expectations, and how the theories fit into my own personal philosophy of education.  There are three main theories: functionalism, interaction, and conflict.  Each one of the previous theories has a different view of education.  These views are how one can identify which theories fits with their own personal philosophy.  I personally believe in realism which is championed by Aristotle.  This philosophy fits into the functionalist perspective.  However, realism and functionality may not be everyone’s cup of tea… which do you prefer?

Positive Inspiration

Positive inspiration can be found in those we encounter. It can be found in their eyes, heard in their stories, and seen in their faces. Michael J. Fox is one such person that inspires countless people. The following peek into his book and life is just a fragment of inspiration that this man exudes.


At the turn from our bedroom into the hallway, there is an old full-length mirror in a wooden frame. I can't help but catch a glimpse of myself as I pass. Turning fully toward the glass, I consider what I see. This reflected version of myself, wet, shaking, rumpled, pinched and slightly stooped, would be alarming we...re it not for the self-satisfied expression pasted across my face. I would ask the obvious question, "What are you smiling about?" but I already know the answer: "It just gets better from here." - Michael J. Fox (from his book Always Looking Up)
