Analyzing the development of the
mankind on the Earth one can observe certain displays of human interaction,
governed by natural laws. Since the tribal times people have been learning to
live together. The strong and the weak, the rich and the poor have fought for
power. Unfortunately, violence has always taken its place. Genocide is a dark
spot in our history and school teachers are among those who can prevent it.
First, teachers can influence their
teenagers’ life views. Taking into consideration the fact that “during the teen years, under the influence
of massive new hormonal messages, the teenagers’ brain is being reshaped and
reconstructed”¹, school teachers should fill in the childish souls with the
understanding of what love, kindness and other virtues are. Taking an important
place in the kids’ lives after their relatives and friends, teachers have all
the chances to be heard. They can help young learners analyze the information
they get from different resources: “it is
very important for young people to be very careful about what they study – and
to develop a critical and analytical mind that allows them to separate reality
from mythology” 2 .
Secondly, if teachers preach patriotism
at school it’s very essential not to forget to mention about the respect to
other countries. Thus, there will be more chances not to raise dictators,
tyrants and maniacs. The task of every school is to turn the children into the
conscious citizens not only of their countries but of the whole world as well.
The third but not the last proof of the
teachers’ important roles in preventing genocide is in teaching their students
cultural diversity. “Starting by
recognizing differences in religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomics,
parenting and class backgrounds will help create a climate that welcomes differences”3
. Ethnic and cultural distinctions are considered to be one of the major
courses of genocide. Organizing discussions about life in different countries,
analyzing certain stereotypes and prejudices, educating children about the
examples of genocide in the history of the mankind may lead to maintain healthy
tolerant attitudes among the future citizens of the world.
So, as gardeners grow their flowers in
the hope to watch them burst into blossom, so the teachers educate their
students in the hope to watch them build a strong, healthy and tolerant society,
free from any (including genocidal) crimes.

Title: Online Education
Type: Research paper
Subject: Education
Is an online education just as legitimate
as a traditional education? Why or why not?
Tetyana
Holubeva
Nowadays, when the Internet
has penetrated into every sphere
of our life, trying to
make it easier
and more comfortable,
we can’t stop admiring
the possibilities it gives
to us. Education
online is one of them.
While it is
extremely important for the
disabled people, and for
those who live
in remote places, online education
has its disadvantages.
First, online education
is no doubt,
of great importance
for the people
with physical disabilities. Everybody has the
right for education
in any democratic country. So online
studying seems to
be fully legitimate here. Having their own
timetable, the tempo
of learning and personal
tutors, the disabled people succeed in
their studying. They
have all the
chances to get a
job, thus, to earn for
a living and change
their lives!
Secondly, online education is
necessary for the
people who live
in remote (rural) places. They
can learn any
subject they wish. Is
that a crime?
No need
to move to
a city or
another country. Be at
home, and take
your knowledge, here you
are!
Still,
it’s important for
the government to control
the people of the companies that
offer the services of online
education. Online tutors should
have all the
necessary documentation, skills
and experience. Thus, one of the
disadvantages of online
learning is a
possibility of being
deceived. And getting some
false certificates, for example. Among the
other minuses of online
education is dependence on the modern
devices and technology: no
Internet connection, no electricity, - like
it often happens
in Ukraine, - no
studying.
So, taking into
consideration all the
facts in the
article, it’s important to
say that online
education is certainly
a useful innovation. Having its
disadvantages, - traditional
education has many
of them as
well, - but
being regulated by
a government, it may be
a way out
for many people.
