Culture › Principle Of Existential Virtues. by philoedu(op):
These principles are essential to survive and flourish, because they underlie the character trait of virtue. It must be observed that principles are basic tools to handle any complex situation. This is true, because as we encounter a new situation, we bring to bear our previous ethical knowledge, we have gathered from the previous similar situation and unified them into a principle.

From there we always readily determine the alternative best action that is good to taken in any situation. And in this perspective, they are contextual and absolute, and contextual because we must use our mind to discover their importance in their applications in any given situation. Such as the under listed concept, that will go a long way to help us to grasp the context of its application.

1.TEAM WORK;-We spoke of Team work as a concept, found among group of committed individuals with the same agenda, common goals and objective. Teamwork as a concept is found also with the same mission through a specific and well defined task. Therefore, a Team is not a random collection of individual working together with different agenda but with the same agenda at all time.

WHY IT MATTER;- simply because when challenges arise, the term quite appropriate in this perspective will becomes –“we rather than me” because together we becomes successful in every given task. Example;- You are both a supervisor and supervised at the same time. And with the Biblical principle that says “They are no longer two, but one flesh”-(Mathew,19; 6).

2. COMMITMENT;- Which is by definition, a thing one has agree or promised to do without backing down, like the husband and wife, who are committed or promise or agree for a permanent bond to stay together or work together for better for worse. Therefore, commitments have the flavors of sense of security and sense of confidence based on mutual love and respect to carry out a certain task to its logical conclusion without backing down.

WHY IT MATTERS;- simply because when confronted with difficulties, without the sense of commitment, an individual, or group of individual and spouses, will be quick to use the term- “ we are just not compatible to work together or to be together. Example;- When you with commitment strive to view problems as obstacles, but not as a deal breaker- And this simply means you must be - quick to forgive and apologize at any given situation where appropriate.

3. DISCIPLINE; -This is by definition, the training to obey rules and regulations as well as the ability to controlled behavior in any area of activities, and indeed, at work and home. It is the act to guide and to teach any form of misbehavior, with high level focus and dedication at any given time. Above all it involve imparting moral training that assist one to lean, to make a good choice at any given time.

WHY IT MATTERS;- simply because in recent times, discipline has tends to disappear from workplaces and in our homes. It must be emphasized that, once this happened, it goes a long way to affect the society at large with the consequence of breakdown of law and order.

Discipline, emanated from moral rules and a reputable standard through which reasonable boundaries are set to help children grow into well rounded adults. To a large extent, it is not over statement to say that most of the societal Wahala, are partly rooted from this mild field of indiscipline.

Culture › THE HUMANITY OF MAN by philoedu(op):
The individual person known as man is often misunderstood due to lack of adequate understanding of the ontological dimension of the man in question. The term in used here is philosophical term that deals with the nature of existence and its consistency. This is because man has long cease be or is no longer regarded as absolute value. In this perspective, it simply means that man has come to be regarded as a mere transitory phenomenon of reason.

And if you like, an absolute spirit of mere I. But according to some school of thought, the conception of the –will- entrusted to reason by –idealist- is nothing but with the sole objective to destroy the very structure of man in his ontological dimension.
What we are talking about here is the structure of man that has to do with religious, moral and politics as well metaphysics. There has always been consistent attempt to portray man in the light of what might be called a –tragedy- of the superman.

But on the other hand, in the light of ideological concept of a person, the idealist never relent in their attempt to regard a person as a mere phenomenon of psychology just to make him not only an egoistic individual but also a subjective being. But the reality is that, this is unacceptable, although, inadmissible but understandable in all ramification. This is true, because when man is refused of his complete humanity or personality, if you like, what else, it simply mean he becomes an object thrown continually into a problematic world. And of cause with no value, but in a sort of battle front of self survival, and in fact he may as well not survive it, who knows, which is the enigma of man.

It is self-evidence, that some of the properties that often come to be manifested in human being for those who care to conceive a man dialogically in relation to others, is no doubt, can be found in his vocation, action and communication. The same is true, that as regard the vocational aspect of any person or being, he becomes significant as a unique individual, of which nothing can substitute his reality as a man and those who he relates.

On this part, is his actions, but it is always a fact that as an individual or man he must be engaged or subjected to a certain continuous action through which he could discover his potentials to survive in his existence as he strive to actualize himself. In his communication process, he no doubt, often employs a verbal and non-verbal means to communicate, of which language becomes the vehicle with which he command his thought. The same is true, that often his thought and feelings remains unexpressed, if there is no language attached.

Often man comes to be judged almost in everything by the very efficiency of his communication in both speech and written word. For man’s communication to be effective he must reflect in his mind which is the true image of his thought as conveyed to others. Often in communication through relationship with others, man often comes to discover a movement that reveals man to others.

In this perspective, the first experience in any person is the experience of the second person- which is ‘’-you-’’ and of which when embarked upon, becomes a battle of survival. Because it is–“I” who is always in favour of a person and has the fundamental commitment and moral obligation applicable in the collective struggle of survival.

[/b] This come to signifies the true nature of man as a person who strive profoundly and intrinsically in his existence as he await the realization of a true justices free from any form of dehumanization of any kind. It is true that we often look up to the community or society of the future in which a person is among the community or society of the future –“I” and of “you” but in solidarity with others capable of the “we”-in the collective struggle for equity and justices for survival.

Culture › HUMILITY;-A MISUNDERSTOOD VIRTUE. by philoedu(op):
[b][/b]In humility there is no presumption of superiority. When one is humble it is generally said to be discrete and not intrusive. Humility does not take notice of virtue according to some school of thought. Although, some other school of thought, would make us to believe humility is but a sign of timidity or even an incapacity of self-evaluation. While others come to see humility as under estimation of one’s personality, a deligitimation of self before others, which is synonymous to a weakness at best.

In this point of view, it simply means any one with humble spirit is almost a convenient individual that could be taken undue advantage of at any given time and place. It is an individual prone to humiliation and even unduly used at will. But it must be emphasized that this is but a secularized interpretation and in particular a sociological concept of humbleness, that has come to exhaust the real significant of the exact Christian concept of humbleness.

It is also true that the Christian concept of humbleness is a term quite different from the ordinary usage due to its radical foundation. In this perspective humility is an essential virtue among others, necessary due to reason of moderation, and its attribute quality. It must be stressed, that it will be wrong to attribute certain quality and endowment that does not in any form fit into a particular personality.
The same is true that such mistake could equally be grievous to assume it is an act of humbleness.

Make no mistake that humility does not mean an adjustment for the sake of doing so, but toward an act of impersonality and the knowledge of Wisdom of which Solomon was an epitome.

In recent times, the French President-Macron has become an epitome of Humility, in what come to be attributed to be his “Shift in critical thinking”- to teach critical thinking in a different perspective, which is the “failure tolerant leadership”. Such that if it was forbidden to fail and forbidden to succeed, the theory in the “shift in critical thinking” now advocate that “true Humility as an asset is not thinking less of yourself, rather thinking of yourself less”.

The same is true that Pride is all about my glory, while humility is all about the glory of God. According to one Clemenceau .G “Life get interesting, if you fail because it means we have surpassed ourselves”. And in humility and tolerance we can do it better as we adjust to get it right, which is a shift in critical thinking that we all must be willing to take up as a challenge with a sense of responsibility.

Culture › THE LAW OF CHANGE;- by philoedu(op):
The law of change is part of the evolutionary effort of man through which human race has come to slowly lift up himself from the baseline of all other creatures. The baseline where the destiny of all living things has been fixed by life pattern and instinct. It is through which man has always strive to overcome since the time immemorial.

It is obvious that the entire history of mankind has come to be clearly marked as a pattern of perpetual change, moving onward and forward. It has become the creature’s device from the rational human being to those of irrational animal.

This is true in the eternal verity of life in habit and thought of man that is continuously reshaping into a system of relationship and moving into a more harmonious and better understanding of his environment. It is imperative, therefore that this device of change must adequately be comprehended and put into practical use at all time.

This must be done in the habit and attitude just to masters the very cause of fear of change which is but an opposition to the overall pattern of the universe. For to conform to this overall plan of the universe of change or perish, is always the nature’s warning through the manifestation of some the devastation situation we often come to witnessed over the centuries past.

The same is true that often times, the fear of failure and indeed, the very shock of disappointment in human being is design to shake loose of this fixed habit that man has tenaciously clings to. But no matter at what level man has struggled with his irrational paranoia, a change has always be the very device through which we must adopt to embrace the benefit a better habit of growth. And education becomes the bedrock of transformation that provoke the mind of any individual to the part of growth and development from within.

And indeed, Education also causes the mind to evolve and expand as he moves from the primary level to the highest level through the constant changes in the very thinking process and reflections. It is in this thinking process and reflections we come to develop an act of rationalism to become the bedrock with what may be called the potential power to advance in process of development.

Through this potential power we become capable of not only in the striving to solve individual and collective problems, but also to confronting and coming to terms with the reality as they present themselves in our evolutionary journey. It is self-evidence that this theory of the law of change, tends to conform to nature’s plan as found through the human experience of inventions throughout history.

Because it forces man to use and develop his mind power and to have often to confront what looks like the impossible in the unpredictable journey as we evolves. The same is true that this law of change is the very sources of education in itself, because understand this reality; you will no longer oppose this inalienable heritage from nature that gives a wide scope of understanding of man and its environment.

It is significant though, to know that the traits our creator most emphatically frowns upon in man are –complacency, procrastination, fear, and self-imposed limitation, all of which, no doubt, carry with it its own consequences. Although, complacency and habit has been allowed to won a victory over change and progress, in this part of the world but this is unfortunate.

It must be emphasized however, that it is through this act of change which is the only and only one means of which the creator had provided to allowed man to break away from other irrational animal. And it is only through this means that man must ascend into the spiritual and material estate to be master of his own fate.

And he does this through the simple process of mental attitude to draws a pattern of standard of living, in conformity with nature to face up with the reality of his time. It is with this irrevocable and unchallenged power in man that he must not overlook in what looks like an absolute control of his reality.

Because man has since been considered by the creator to be the only important prerogative in guidance and direction. And to come to deny him or be denied this very right, no doubt, amount to repression and misconception of the central purpose of what man has come to represent and may be the purpose of his existence.

The fixation of habit and self-imposed limitation is but an attitude that openly shun knowledge and all what it represent in man’s evolutionary journey and also in the acceptance of living by the truth of others long past.

The same is true, that it is but an act of resistance to the truth itself as well as the very foundation they have come to predicate the truth. The same is true in what they come to represent, in what looks like a vociferous attack to the growth and advancement, in their’ own perspective ‘of which no one dare question.

But it represent also their fear of the unknown and the unseen that becomes the very reason why they waste no time instigate others to follow suit because they are too comfortable with the state of affair. Accordingly, they don’t know how to ‘be’ and could not let others ‘be’, hence, the very concept of change has become not only it tends to irritate but unpleasant. And although, sound great, but remain one of the most difficult, if not impossible notion to grapple with in its very essence.

It must be emphasized though, that power of change belong to God. But Paul would remind us that-"He can do more than we can ask or imagine by his immeasurable and incredible power that is at work on the inside of us and our circumstances'' . The same is true, often we have so much to see, understand and experience in our relationship with God.

Christianity Etc › THE SHIFT IN TIME . by philoedu(op):
After reading the Gospel of Mathew 5:38-42, to day, l have the followings to say. When vers.38, said "an eye for an eye and tooth for tooth".

It was obvious that at that time, it was like a wholesome maxim in Dt.19:18-21.This is because it tends to put a limit to the thirst for any form of vengeance.

And even the judges were often being reminded at the time, that they have a duty to defend the weak in the society at large.
Read more on:https://philoedu2017..com.

"Do not oppose evil with evil"-Here the question is when we approach our adversary or evil person in the same way they approach us, it will result to a circle of repproach or circle of vengeance. Now who among the two is weaked.

In the Gospel, we are asked to "Offer the other cheek", and this simply mean we must be the first to free ourselves from the circle of revenge or violence.

And also we must strive to act like the Judocal with a surprise move when the opponent least expect any such move, as to discover we were mistaken.

Because it is this act of renunciation of violence for our own interest, that will surely oblige the " Heavenly Father" to intervene and come to our aid, even when we least expect it .

Therefore, we must not forget that Jesus simply want us to see God at work in our life on daily bases in this context.

Culture › THE ENIGMMA OF SELF-RE-DEFINATION. by philoedu(op):
The development of science and technology cannot actually free humanity from the obligation to ask the ultimate existential questions.

And it spur us to face the most painful and sometimes, decisive struggles of those of the heart and the question of moral conscience. The contemporary man tends to have the greater need for the inner-self as well as out-self in order to know God and himself.

It is true that with such knowledge, we can nurture tOKhe sense of dignity and respect. It is through this knowledge we can also know the true meaning of the value of life and work in tandem with the sense of true freedom, justices and peace.

One of the Christian truth, is not about ideology but in the recognition that without any iota of doubt, it is the changing of the social and political reality in favor of man that cannot be confine to any rigid structure.

Therefore, the calls for a deep reflection of the very need for a constant re-affirmation of the transcendental that encompass the dignity of the human person. In the evolutionary salvific journey of man, there has been numerous example of the advocate of a genuine emancipation of humanity.

The emancipation that inspire, not a passive acceptance, but in the authentic and firm resolve to work effectively in the way of truth in order to free man once and for all from any form of oppressive and violence forces that is raging so assiduously and the shackle of poverty of our time.

Through such resolve, we can return humanity to his dignified platform of existence, through which he exercises his full right in the scheme of things. Although, there is the gospel prosperity talks of material abundance as a sign of divine favor of which, what they seems to be silent about is the very purpose of this material abundance in the life of man.

Because, at this point, it has becomes a moral issue in particular, when there are bunch of haggard and hungry folks of the like of Lazarus hanging around us.

Of course, it must be said, that this has become a moral deficiency of the contemporary setting of which majority are deprived in the mix of plenty. The same is true that it is all about the issue of self-contentedness and distraction from the very issue of heart and value of which the existence of man is accountable.

But there must be a shift of value system that ask for a balance and moderation without drifting either extreme in the quest to positively regulate our perspective of the current system. It must be the shift of value to balance our material well-being and the spiritual well-being and the self and others without recourse to the extreme as the current extremist nature of things seems to depict.

It must be observed, however, that in the 18th century, there arose a movement of the intellectual thought in Europe. And their sole aim was a rejection of the external authority as they enthrone what come to be regarded as personal subjective judgment.

Although, they were known to be called enlightenment and was celebrated in their intellectual individualism. Their main objective was also to seek to banish any idea of living by repository of wisdom beyond one’s own intellect.

This post-Christian era also known as the age of reason or secular culture, was with the view that any rational being must be able to work out the truth about life for themselves, which seems to rain supreme at the time. However, it was not without an element of misconception, and if you like, a misplaced concept, because it take for granted all matter of basic belief, i.e. the strong feeling that exist or is true in every individuals.

[b][/b]The outcome of this was an outlook that appears to control the opinion makers and information dissemination of the time. The consequences of this were a sort of anti-Christian, a type of mindset that seems to move against the very value and dignity of man, peace and justices, and indeed, the interest of the collective well-being.

I must add, that women a not a necessary value but a sufficient value to assist man where there is distraction in the regulation of things but in love and it is a pity, that is why the world is what it is today, but note that it is not the wish of God to find us in this mess-up situation we are today.

Culture › THE SILENT VICTIM. by philoedu(op): 1:08pm On May 29, 2018
The ideas of ‘miserable conspiracy’ come to Billy’s mind, as he finds himself in what he later chose to call the situation of “dramatic irony”; although, a term he distaste a great deal to use in his lessicon due to what it literally come to represent. But his experience could not be far compared to that of a spoonful of yogurt capable of passing on its own life to a quantity of raw milk.

Really, it was a dramatic circumstance during the time when he had to walk in the same filo- conduct-ore unending, that sometimes made him to contemplate to getting rid of himself in whatever that could be possible. But the reality, is that he had not even got the least courage to do, if the possibility was present, which as it were, he had to choose to contend with what looks like a contradiction, but for how long, and this becomes the particular experience of identical nature of a man cut in the web.

Since the main light has been cut off leading to his apartment due to not payment, he has been in the dark, although, with an honest intention it may sound. Of course, he has left his job for inexplicable reason, due to outside pressure though, but he later regretted to have submitted himself to the whim and caprices of the time. Because the consequence of what looks like an emotional disturb, no doubt is self-evidence.
He was just leaving with this couple he thought he had assisted a great deal to settle in spite of all the trouble that comes with to settle as a couple. But there was an enigma unknown to Billy of which no one was going to disclose, in particular since he is of the passive nature and easy going type.

The enigma unknown to Billy was the very fact that a bunch of story was recounted about them of which none of such story Billy ever tried to verify as he took everything for granted. For Billy it does not really matter what it was, as always in his Mondi operandi. Rather what matter is that they just need to be assist due to their precarious situation they least expected to find themselves. But in spite of what looks like his ignorant of the true reality of this couple he lived with, as time will tell, he got to know that Lady Wendy was not just what she portray herself to be in what looks like inconsistent and strange behavior she display.

At that moment in time, Billy was not too surprised as he cast his mid back to the information in his possession. According to Billy, this lady appear to him in one of the faithful night, as if he was in a trance then she descend on him, but in the moment struggle to immediately repel her she griped his hand of which the mark become very visible. And of cause, the mark on his hand was as a result of the grip that later appear and visible during the day. In spite of what happen, Billy refused to believe as it remains incognito, although, unimaginable.

He contemplated of fighting to prove that he was not afraid of what she did, but later decided to walk up to her and look at her in the eyes, as evidence of her misadventure and quest to intimidate him. Although, as it appear, she tends to own up of her bad intention as throw off her face in her shameful method of self-defense. In Billy’s moment of reflection, he recalled a few night before then, in what looks like a trance, there was baby lying on his chest, as if he was playing with the child, only to open his eyes in moment later to discover, it was all in a dream.

Gradually, he also discovered that Wendy’s husband, Perry was not functional as a man, although, there has being speculation about it of which Billy also refuse to believe like a doubting Thomas. The reality, is that knowing this fact by everyone, whether Billy believe it or not, the assumption no doubt tends to stand. The very assumption that Billy take responsibility of Lady Wendy as long as Perry is not functional, but this unknown to Billy as he move on with this basic fact in ignoramus .

This bunch of revelation could not change him from his usual and normal relation with them, except that he becomes more sympathetic to their plight instead of being offended and afraid. Come to think of it, Perry was always an easy going individual who tends to mind his “affair” or business, probably to cover what looks like a slight setback of which Billy had not the slightest courage to ask for any detail.
Often, if you like Billy is a friend need, and a friend in indeed to Perry, in his dealing, but with contrary view, on the part of Perry in respect to Billy, due to lady Wendy’s dominant attitude probably as a result Parry’s short coming, of which becomes a mild filed that took Billy a long time to dissect. In one of such moment Billy cried in his recluse because of Perry and make up his mind to treat him as his own brother and friend henceforth.

In this climate of self-reflection, Billy never gives up his friendship with them as he treats them as a family in both deed and action as they would shear their concerned virtually in everything. But Perry’s wife tends to indulged always in some crafty-attitude to lure Billy into friendship with her but Billy find this a bit distasteful, morally without coming out openly of the reason behind none acceptance . In one occasion they ask Billy to follow them to the hospital to carry out a test without any further explication of the reason and without hesitation, he followed them.
At the hospital, the lady-Dr, carry out the test and confirmed openly after the test that Lady Wendy can no longer had a baby due to her previous abortion committed long time ago. During what looks like a revelation, she burst out crying and get loose openly into an atmosphere of commotion in the hospital.

However, with this information, Lady Perry cried the hell out of herself at the hospital premises of which Billy consoled her with the statement that ‘with God nothing is impossible”, hence, she must not lose hope of any future baby. With this advice, there appear to be the negative impression probably, that Billy has becomes interested in Lady Wendy, which eventually culminated into night visit. As it were, Billy remain consistent in his dealing with them without any explanation of his intentions whether as a friend with secrete intention to take over Lady Wendy.

During this period, they were now doing things as if nothing had happened, but Billy knew at the back of his mind that a lot of things are going on, which is their false assumption. This concealed information and assumption which everyone seems to uphold, was further given credence and disseminated, not without excitement, always unknown to Billy.

Culture › THE MISERABLE CONSPIRACY-part.2. by philoedu(op):
One of the outstanding problems at the time was light. For the past few days, the environment has been under starvation of electricity due to fact that it has been cut due to non payment. The possibility of restoring it seems very remote as some of the neighbors are more than reluctant to paying their due. In the open, they would confess with all honesty of their lack of means to settle their payment.

Their honest deceit, sometimes could induce one who is not conversant with their language to want to take responsibility to settle the matter without qualm. But reflecting for a moment, one would discover they were merely of a sugar coated tongue, often with the capacity to deflect even a high level personality in research work in a psychology.

The reality is that at a go they can afford to acquire every other object one would consider exorbitant in forbearance of more important thing. In the light of such irony, they can also afford to put on their generator over night through which without fuel of say, two to three thousand Naira the generator may not run consecutively for three days. As it were, it became an irony because it is a term used to describe a word which tends to change with a layer of meaning different from the literal one of which the subtler interpretation, the hearer or speaker is often unaware.

It is one of the reasons of this title –“the miserable conspiracy’’- of which the man in the mix of it all has become increasingly isolated in his blissful ignorance of the truth created and perpetuated by the conspirators. In spite of the isolated ignorance of the individual and the atmosphere, nonetheless, when he has to comment on the situation, he speaks as one unaware of the level of his own ignorance of what is stake. But any listener and perhaps some other characters who are “in the know” would no doubt know that he is front of one- seek for some level of sincere understanding.

As a result, it all seems he get taken, literally, for a ride, as he learn to differentiate between what people say and what they do. With this climate of miserable conspirators, it was not much of a surprise, as he reflected on his previous situations and experience, very much identical with his present one.

After what he called the “bricolage meal” he settles to listen to the news of the day as his usual habit. He does this with keen interest as the only avenue to know what is happen around and other parts of the country side. In the process, he felt so tired not to switch off his radio and walk to his bed in the dark; because he forgot to procure a candle since his electric florescent was no longer chargeable for the past few days. Soonest, he dose off after a brief contemplation of the likely outcome of such an unending discrepancy. And in what looks like a trance he was with one of his childhood friend, called Pepino.

They were just in a highway, in an environment they were well familiar with, although, certain things have changed over time in terms of development in an unbelievable manner. The reason stern from the very fact that, the road that was known to be very narrow has now become so wide due to the construction and infrastructural development going on. In spite of this fact, his friend still take the responsibility to lead the way. But to their surprise, after the highway, they come to a point that there was a close up, as if the construction has come to halt. Nevertheless, they could not stop, as his friend beckon to him to come on over since he knew other part they could pass through to their destination.

In the direction they were heading, there was what looks like a low land with a hill and valley of which they have to climb and descend. Although, he was preoccupied about the environment in which they were, but Pepino was always there to assure him all was going to be okay as long as he was leading the way. In not too long a distance after they had descended from the hill there was what looks like an open river, not without breath taken.

Again his friend reassured him they would do everything possible to cross the river without problem. In this open river was some pretty heap of rubbish as it serve as duping enclave, and over the other side was a village that tends to be responsible for the dumping. The result was the rubbish that floats around and in the open river. As his friend contemplated for a while for their next action, he instructed him to follow him as they both dive into the river to crossover. But as they dive, he observed a bunch of visitors of different brands of huge rats swimming in different direction to alert them of their presence as the rightful owner, and to view themselves as an invader as it were.

Of course, he was not surprise as he figures out that they were there probably due to the rubbish in order to feed for themselves. Gradually, they were at the verge of finding way to the other end, in spite of what look like the worst experience of their life time in an open river as they sighted a town they had earlier contemplated. In a split of a second, Billy perceive himself and Pepino struggled to regulate their final push to be out of the water as Billy opens his eye. When he checks his watch, it was exactly 2am in the morning as he spent the remaining hours trying to figure out the meaning of what looks like a long walk in a trance. Read more on:

Culture › SHORT STORY;-The Miserable Conspiracy.(1.) by philoedu(op):
When Billy came back from work, he gave an impression of restlessness. This he could not hide from even the least unconscious individual. Although he felt very tired to do anything, he knew at the back of his mind that it was inevitable he get himself something to eat that evening. In spite of his tiredness, he was completely at odd with the time he finds himself. The reason was very clear. Because he lived alone, hence, he expects no one to get him something to eat neither to encourage him for form of slackness.

With what looks like a moment of confusion in this context, he immediately figures out the quickest way to get over it. Again in what looks like a brilliant idea to get over his slackness, he discovered at the very last minute he has none any of the very ingredient to do anything, even for whatever he may choose to prepare.

He contemplated for a split of a second whether to go for it or not. But the reality is that for quite some time, he has taken the decision that the moment he was in, he was never to come out until the second day. But this particular moment seems to be quite different. What seems to stand out however, among his reasons rightly or wrongly, was simply that it is weekend therefore, it appear a peculiar time for his modest estimation. Yes, it so because no shopping moles will be opens as always the case.

It became imperative under any circumstances that he must have to dash out to get what he needs not what he wants. Beside, these are things he needs if he must eat something or else he would go to bed without food. In a moment of reflection, he burst into a laughter that was to consume his time, as he immediately realized he must avoide what had happen the other night without food. The laughter, however, no doubt, tends to relief him of his worry that had built up overtime. It was his Granma who always tell him to learn to laugh at himself whenever he has some cracking moment, because it helps, and with this he remembers her always.

Because the moment you can afford to laugh at yourself, no one can laugh at you to hurt you. And as it were, he made up some list of items which were the things that he has been lacking over time, if not due to his unusual procrastination of which his current environment could be held responsible.

Even if he could do without any other ingredient, he could not do without the most basic one like salt of all ingredients. With this observation he became more alert after the laughter, as if he has taken tonic that was to propel him through the entire moment of preparation for the procurement of the items. Once again, he removes only his shirt and then sat down in one of the couch, just to be sure of what he was going out for. At that moment in time, he realized that his problem was not actually whether he was tired or not, but the avoidance of spending the extra cash left with him for anything, he remind himself.

But this very evening, it was what you lacking so much and indeed about food, for the second time, he told himself, as he get up from where he was. Unfortunately, he could not afford to fulfill such promise not to spend for anything, as he had promised himself early. And as it turns to be what looks like a personal discrepancies and justification he let be and to takes the place of a principle.

But such self justification, though, might only tend to portray him as a miser in the open, he once again remind himself, as something to guide against. With this reflection he dissipated his emotional accumulation; as he disappear into the open with his regained energy, and set out for his acquisitions for the evening. When he came back, he was sure he was going for what he called “Bricolage’’ which means a quick set of whatever was available for cook and eat just to appease the stomach for the night. Although not without looking miserable without light, that compel him to eat in the dark. Read more on :

Education › THE IMPORTANCE OF CONCEPT–BASED -INSTRUCTION. by philoedu(op): 8:00am On Apr 27, 2018
The concept –based -instruction is driven by the big ideas or big picture instead of the subject specific contents or the things they contain. The concept tends to refers to the procedure or an abstract ideas, by definition. And idea on the other hand refers to the mental impression of an individual, by definition.

Therefore, concept-based –instruction or learning brings us into the real world, where content knowledge and skill becomes a reality of the subject -matter. As it becomes a reality, it provoke our critical thinking or thought, essential to our ability to creatively solve any problem. The universal theme, must be introduced to engage our thought in active understanding of the concept based instruction that enable us to do the followings;-
1. To create the necessary connections prior to any experience.
2. To focus and bring about the relevance of learning.
3. To facilitate a deeper understanding of the knowledge content.
4. To act as a springboard in order to respond to learning or instruction with actions.

Therefore, concept-based –instruction, lead us to consider the very context in which we use our understanding. And context by definition, is the idea that any statement has a meaning in relationship to its setting or background. In a like manner, that the meaning of any word can be identified through the context of the sentence. The same is true, that context tends to refers to the information required to make any statement meaningful.

It must be observed that concept here, does not replace the content, on the contrary, concept tends to bring context and purpose to the content that required to be explored in the process. And such process must begin with the content skills and knowledge through a local standard or issues that inspires one, but with the curriculum as guides.
Culture › The Importance Of History And Culture by philoedu(op):
History and Culture are two concepts or terms with a wealth of difference in their meaning. On the one hand History is all about the making of a country. This is because, as you delve into the history of past event, you no doubt, learn to stare the cause of the future.

And history deals also with the growth of a specific country or land and it involves the people as the culture involves arts, music and dance .While history is all about the past, Culture come to deals with the past and the present, and indeed, it deals with the very interest shown by the people of any particular country or land.

And a rich culture can become a part of the history of a country or land. Culture is about making a man or individual while History is about making a country or land. And history can boast of any individual promoter of culture for the growth of music, arts and dance of any country or land.

Therefore, culture is a subset of history, because a country with a great history tends to shine on the cultural front. As it were, culture tends to bring name and fame to the history of any country or land, hence, it is the history that accommodate culture and the people that uphold the culture which convey the sense of creativity that often appeal to human mind.

Therefore, the sense of history and culture is often needed to building a strong nation. The history is a chronological record of important past events that often come to be study in human affair.

Any such study in any subject in relation to the accumulation of the various developments taken place in the very subject in question can also be called history.Because history is a systematic or critical account of past events that took place in the land or country.

The same is true that culture is intellectual achievement of man. Therefore, a country or land lacking in culture is said to lack in people that could boast the intellectual achievement of such country. If mental advancement is called culture, it is also true that a society which is culturally developed is also advanced mentally and if you like rationally, as well.

Therefore, knowing our history and culture, help us to construct our identity with a sense of pride and it also enable us to have a vision about the future. Read more on;-
