Difference Between Private and Independent Schools

Distinction Between Private and Independent Schools At the point when government funded school just isnt attempting to enable a youngster to succeed and meet their fullest potential, its normal forâ families to begin to think about elective alternatives for basic, center or secondary school instruction. At the point when this examination starts, doubtlessly non-public schools will fire springing up as one of those alternatives. Begin accomplishing more examination, and youll likely experience an assortment of data that remembers data and profiles for both non-public schools and autonomous schools, which may leave you scratching your head. Is it true that they are something very similar? Whats the distinction? Lets explore.â Similitudes Between Private and Independent Schools There is one major similitude among private and free schools, and that is the factâ that they are non-government funded schools. As it were, they are schools which are subsidized by their own assets, and don't get open financing from the state or bureaucratic government.â Contrasts Between Private and Independent Schools However, it appears as if the terms non-public school and free school are frequently utilized as if they mean something very similar. Actually, they are both the equivalent and extraordinary. Considerably increasingly befuddled? Lets separate it. In general,â independent schools are really viewed as tuition based schools, however not every single non-public school are autonomous. So an autonomous school can call itself private or free, however a non-public school can't generally allude to itself as autonomous. Why? All things considered, this inconspicuous differentiation between a tuition based school and a free school has to do with the legitimate structure of every, how they are represented, and how they are supported. An autonomous school has a really free leading group of trustees that directs the schools activity, while aâ private school can hypothetically be a piece of another substance, for example, a revenue driven enterprise or a not revenue driven association, for example, a congregation or place of worship. An autonomous leading group of trustees regularly meets a few times each year to talk about the schools by and large wellbeing, including accounts, notoriety, improvement, offices, and other significant parts of the schools achievement. The organization at a free school is answerable for doing a vital arrangement that guarantees the schools on-going achievement, and reports to the board normally on progress and how they will address or are tending to any difficulties the school may face.â Outer associations, for example, a strict gathering or other for-benefit or not-revenue driven organization,â that can give money related help to a non-public school, not an autonomous school, will make the school less subject to educational cost and magnanimous gifts for endurance. Be that as it may, these tuition based schools may bring about guidelines as well as limitations from the related association, for example, ordered enlistment limitations and curricular headways. Free schools, then again, commonly have a special statement of purpose, and are financed by educational cost installments and magnanimous gifts. Frequently, autonomous school educational costs are more costly than their non-public school partners, which is on the grounds that most free schools depend generally on educational cost to support its day by day operations.â Autonomous schools are authorize by the National Association of Independent Schools, or NAIS, and regularly have stricter standards for administration than some non-public schools. Through NAIS, singular states or areas have endorsed certifying bodies that work to guarantee all schools inside their particular districts meet thorough necessities so as to accomplish accreditation status, a procedure that happens at regular intervals. Free schools additionally normally have huge blessings and enormous offices, and incorporate both boarding and day schools. Free schools may have a strict association, and may incorporate strict investigations as a component of the schools theory, however they are represented by an autonomous leading body of trustees and not a bigger strict association. In the event that a free school wishes to change a part of its tasks, for example, disposing of strict examinations, they just need the endorsement of their leading body of trustees and not an overseeing st rict foundation. The State of Utah Office of Education offers a run of the mill meaning of a private school:A school that is constrained by an individual or organization other than an administrative substance, which is normally bolstered basically by other than open assets, and the activity of whose program rests with somebody other than freely chose or named authorities. McGraw-Hills Higher Education site characterizes a free school as nonpublic school unaffiliated with any congregation or other organization. Article altered by Stacy Jagodowski

Movie Analysis Girl Dragon Tattoo

The Heros venture is a great type of narrating that has been utilized for a huge number of years. All accounts share normal components in their structure. In todays current movies the portrayals of these components have been distorted and contorted yet stay generally unaltered. This paper follows the remote movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo coordinated by Niels Arden Oplev and dependent on the book by Stieg Larsson through the Heros Journey.There was something lost in watching the film with captions; by not knowing the language there is a component lost in the film. Å"however, with an end goal to have the captions coordinate the activity on screen, the nuance, figure of speech, and subtlety of a language are regularly and by need, ignored.  (Barsam a merciless and injurious man that assumes responsibility for her life.Mikales Call to Adventure is being reached by very rich person Henrik Vanger (Sven-Bertil Taube) to explore the vanishing of his niece Harriet, who evaporated 40 years back. The Refusal of the Call is a reluctance to change to address the difficulty or take care of the issue. This is found in the film by Lizbeth waling out of a gathering with her gatekeeper in the wake of declining to respond to inquiries concerning her life. With Mikale the Refusal is appeared by his hesitance to the examination for Henrik welcomed on by his destruction in court. The Meeting of the Mentor includes conquering this hesitance and beginning problem.In The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo the coach for either Lizbeth or Mikale is not quite the same as the standard for the most part connected with the job. For Lizbeth managing the oppressive watchman she is coached in managing this issue by drawing from herself and her past encounters, utilizing her own abilities to tackle her issues with him for all time. Mikales coach isn't one individual however two; he is energized by both Henrik and Harriet through the things and words she abandoned. In Crossing the Threshold the legend acknowledges the demand going into the unique world.Mikale enters the extraordinary world is connoted twice in the film; first when he consents to research Harriets vanishing and second when he shows up where she vanished a remote, miserable island with chilling climate and ice inhabitants. Lizbeth Crosses the Threshold in two distinct occasions in the film first when she is compelled to manage her gatekeeper when she needs cash for another PC and afterward when she messages Mikale including herself on the planet he is submersed in. The Tests, Allies, and Enemies segment is the area of the excursion where the legend experiences tests and meets partners and foes similarly as the title implies.In The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo the Tests, Allies, and Enemies is a somewhat significant lot of the film that notwithstanding its length keeps up intrigue and tension. This area of the excursion can be part down the middle. In the primary half Lizbeth and Mikale proceed with the own H eros Journey; in the second a large portion of their excursions have consolidated. In the primary half Lizbeth faces a few tests and goes up against her foe. Her tests show in her maltreatment on account of her watchman and her ensuing destruction of him finishing in a manner Lizbeths minor Heros Journey.Lizbeths next critical test is the place her excursion starts to work with Mikales. During Mikales first 50% of the Tests, Allies, and Enemies area he starts to figure out the hills of proof and data collected throughout the years. His first test starts with him reigniting his journalistic flash for him to genuinely examine this puzzle. During the start of his examination he is presented or recounted different individuals from the Vanger family where he appears to discover partners in Martin Vanger (Peter Haber) and his wife.With Henriks doubts and data the remainder of the Vanger family turns into his suspects and foes. Mikale discovers his partners in Henrik and head of police Mor ell (Bjorn Granath). In the second 50% of the area the excursions of Lizbeth and Mikale work. Å"She discovers her own enthusiastic needs supported by the idea of the case  (Ebert, 2010) convincing Lizbeth to send Mikale an email when she sees a theme while glancing through his documents. After introductory contact they become partners in unraveling the case.Working together as partners they find an upsetting disclosure about the idea of Harriets vanishing. Moving toward the Inmost Cave is where the legend gets ready for the coming encounter. This is the place Mikale takes what he and Lizbeth have assembled to refresh Henrik. This leads the film to the Ordeal where the Hero faces the emergency, dread, and passing. This shows in the film with the family on the island standing up to Mikale to communicate their interests over his examination, after which the island appears to be darker with doubt everywhere.The main issue of the Ordeal is that after the gathering while at the same time going through the forested areas somebody goes after Mikale, almost killing him. The Reward where the legend is remunerated for enduring the experience is spoken to in the film by Mikale and Lizbeth with assistance from Morell get the last sign that makes the various bits of the riddle fit together. This shows them the way to unraveling the secret. The Road Back Sequence is the point in the excursion where the saint commits once again to finishing the journey.This is spoken to by Mikale and Lizbeth utilizing the mystery they found to discover who they accept was liable for all that occurred. While Lizbeth researches records for confirmation of personality Mikale examines the speculates house where he is almost shot, till he is safeguarded by one of his partners. Lizbeth makes an alarming revelation in the records and races to caution Mikale, who has been caught by the one answerable. The Resurrection is the place the Hero faces the last test on the limit home.This is demonstrated w hen Mikale gains reality directly from the mouth and his life barely holds on. As he faces demise Lizbeth returns so as to spare him. The police show up and reality comes out to all. The last piece of the Heros Journey is the Return with the Elixir. This where has occurred in the extraordinary world has benefits in the customary world. In the conventional world Mikale resuscitates a blessing from Lizbeth while carrying out his punishment which assists with his restored motivation for reporting. Lizbeth takes from her excursion the mental fortitude to offer some kind of reparation with her past and to proceed onward with her future.

Learning To Learn At MIT

“Learning To Learn At MIT” Michael Plasmeier, aka The Plaz, is a junior at MIT studying Course 6 (or EECS). His website ThePlaz.com also has a wiki, and on this wiki, he shares a lot of wisdom about MIT. One of his posts which I read on the Class of 2015 Facebook Group and liked very much is called Learning to Learn at MIT. Its about surprise! learning to learn in the MIT environment, which, as Chris M 12 has posted before, is tough. And while the details may be specific to Plaz, the overarching message time management, the removal of distractions, and knowing when and how to ask for help are general to all those interested in enhancing their education. Current members of the Class of 2015, future members of the Class of 2015 and beyond take note! With the blessing of Plaz and his Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 license, Ive posted the text of Learning to Learn at MIT below: It was the end of my freshman year at MIT; well, almost the end. There was one obstacle left: finals. More specifically, there were three: 8.01, 3.091, and 18.01. Although the first semester at MIT was pass or no record, I was in real danger of failing. I had done ok in the semester, failing or barely passing most tests. I thought I had learned the material, but I was not able to solve the problems on the test. I had to step it up and give it my all in order to pass. I did not want to repeat a class â€" that would put me way behind; I would lose a semester of time here at MIT. In addition, because of the second semester credit limit, I could not easily repeat the class during the next semester while taking another class. I knew I had to pass. I did not really like the classes my first semester; I saw them as an unnecessary evil of attending MIT. I was not good at math or problem solving in physics. I would not have been able to do an engineering degree. I loved my UROP and all of the other experiences of MIT and I learned a great deal from them and grew personally. However, the GIRs were the price of admission. Once I got through them it would be much easier and more fun. I worked hard in elementary and middle schools, but high school started too easy for me. I then coasted through Math class without really learning the material. The assessments did not really force me to learn; I only had to memorize the process. This put me at a disadvantage at MIT; my old methods of learning, or appearing to learn, did not really work. In addition in high school, simple hard work, like putting the time in to do the reading and take notes put me at an advantage. This did not seem to be true at MIT. I started to study the week before finals. That week there are classes, but no homework. This allowed me to study during the evenings after class. I started studying for 18.01 by going through every test, and redoing each problem. I did not have access to a blank copy of the test, so I covered up the test and worked on a blank sheet of paper. In high school, I would sometimes just read through the answer key to study. At MIT this strategy was not effective. As I was reading the answer key, I thought that the answer sounded obvious and that I knew it. However, when the test came, I could not remember how to solve such problems. I had to not kid myself, and actually try to do the problem. Another study procedure which I did not try was to do one test for the listed time without looking at the answer key at all. On a real test, if I do not know a problem, I struggle and search for the answer, using up all of the time. Sometime I stumble across the answer, and I usually get some partial credit on a problem. I think this method takes up too much time and struggling for the answer does not help me learn the correct answer. But as I was redoing the 18.01 tests, I became very worried because I forgot at least one step in 40% of the problems, and had no clue about another 30% of the problems. For these, I had to peek at the answer key and to reconstruct how to solve the problem, as well as try to memorize the steps. After classes ended on Thursday, it was time to get serious about studying for finals. The 8.01 was first on Monday. I had to find the best place to study. My room is not a good place to do work. My computer fills my entire desk space, so there is nowhere to work on paper. In addition, my roommates are often there and I cannot get anything done when there are other people around. MIT has lots of little areas to study. My dorm, Baker House, has a row of tables down the hall from my room. This is where I did a lot of my math p-sets during the semester. This was moderately successful. If I forgot something, I had easy access to my room. The area was somewhat isolated, but it was in the hallway, so people were always passing. Other students find a classroom to work in. I always seem to have bad luck, someone always interrupts me because there is a class scheduled in there. However, the Media Lab recently moved to a new building, E14. The old building,E15, was now mostly vacant. I decided that my old lab would be the best place to study, so that night I found myself in E15-493. The area was desolated; no one was around in E15. There was a printer that I still had installed and a water fountain and bathroom nearby. Despite that there was no one around, I could close the door and just work. Time seemed to pass slowly, because I was doing a lot of work in that time. I could just sit there and hours would go by without anyone bothering me. I spent the weekend studying in E15-493. I got up around 10, walked to the Media Lab and studied all day. I only left for a stretch break about every hour. Around dinnertime, I ran back to Baker to buy dinner, and then ran back to E15 to study. I stayed most nights until 2AM. The most stressful was the night before the final. I wanted to be prepared as I could be. As 2Am was approaching the night before the final, I went into E14 and started re-reading what I had written. I was careful not to just look at the answers and tell myself that I knew it, but I covered up the answers and tried to think how to solve it. I was exhausted when I walked through the desolate and cold night back to Baker to sleep. I was also not distracted by my laptop. This was always a problem for me in high school and during the semester. I would always think of something unrelated to what I was doing and then I would look it up. Or I would be bored and I would open MSNBC.com to read something. By far the worst issue for my learning was that when I ran into difficulty with a problem; I would not struggle with the problem and focus; I would turn away from it to read something on the web. This was very bad for me. The pressure of needing to pass limited my web surfing, especially as the finals got closer. Another advantage was that I had nothing scheduled during that weekend. One of my problems during the semester was that scheduled sessions take up a lot of time, up to double the length of the session. It takes time to travel there and back, which does not feel like much, but can be up to 15 minutes each direction. By far the biggest problem is that I had to arrange my schedule around it. If I had less than an hour of time, I would not get started working. By the time I would have been set up, it would be time to go. I was very nervous on Monday when my 8.01 final finally arrived. I was unsure about a lot of the problems. But when I talked to others afterward, who seemed far more prepared than I was, they said that they had trouble as well. This made me feel somewhat better. I wrote in my journal immediately after the final that I probably did better than I thought I did at the time. After 8.01 there was not much time to rest. My 3.091 final was the next day. I only had about 20 hours to study for it. I thought that 3.091 was going to be the easiest of the finals, so I only left one afternoon and evening to study for it. That made studying that night very intense. The final ended up being more difficult that I thought it was going to be. I think I also made a mistake in what I was studying. Professor Sadoway feed us the information we need to know in the lectures. However, he tells us to read the textbook which has a lot more information. However, that material was not really relevant. I should have focused on simply studying the material from the lectures. After 3.091, I had two days to study for 18.01. In total, I wrote about 100 pages for 18.01, redoing problems until I was out of time. I did not remember much from that final since it was the last one. As soon as I was finished, I went home later that day. I was glad to be done with the first semester of MIT, I just hoped that I did well enough in each class to pass. At home, I kept refreshing Websis to see if the grades were posted. One by one they came online. I got a C in 3.091 and 18.01 and a B- in 8.01. I was very happy that I passed everything; that I did not have to redo any classes; that I could move ahead to the next semester. I was very surprised that I managed to get a B- in 8.01. I have no clue how that happened; I am guessing that it is due to homework. There is so much going on a MIT that I cannot really keep up from week to week. This semester I must try not to slip behind. I know that I am not the only one. It is important to be up for each class fully awake and prepared. There are only 30 classes in a typical course â€" and learning what they are teaching will save hours off studying or being frustrated on a P-set. I am proud of those two weeks I spent studying. It was where I learned to focus. I am now one week into the second semester and focusing and studying of the hard material feels better. It now feels like I can master anything if I dedicate myself to it. If I spend all my time on something, and ignore external influences, like the flow of time, I can master whatever MIT throws at me. I no longer dread it. It feels fun to learn something complicated which I did not know before. I now feel like an engineering major might not only be doable, but fun. Perhaps some of this will wear out as the second semester continues, or maybe I will actually enjoy the math and physics classes now, since I will not be struggling as much.

The Great War And World War I Essay - 1198 Words

Between 1914 and 1918, many of the worlds leading countries were neck to neck in a bloody and gruesome battle known as the Great War or World War I. The United States practiced its policy of isolationism, a policy of remaining apart from the affairs or interests of other countries. However, in April 1917 the United States officially entered the war. Although the United States only fought in two battles, at St. Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne, the fighting took a heavy toll on American lives. In an attempt to restore public opinion, President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to help the United States slip back into isolationism. In response to the overwhelming desire of Americans to keep their distance from foreign conflicts, the United States remained diplomatically and militarily isolated due to public sentiment, internal politics and lack of military preparedness, and economic repercussions of the Great Depression. With more than fifty thousand American boys killed in combat, many Ameri cans believed that the Great War was indeed a tragic and costly mistake that should never be repeated.1 According to historian David Kennedy, â€Å"Americans of both sexes, of all ages, religions, and political persuasions, from all ethnic groups and regions, shared in the postwar felling of apathy toward Europe, not to mention the rest of the quarrelsome world that bordered on disgust.†1 Americans had grown up with the luxury of being isolated from threats abroad.

Telecommunications Law Free Essays

Telecom Law and Regulation Professor: David Olson September 14, 2012 Week 2 Case Study What is the natural monopoly ? Natural Monopoly is a monopoly that exists because the cost of producing the product (i. e. , a good or a service) is lower due to economies of scale if there is just a single producer than if there are several competing producers. We will write a custom essay sample on Telecommunications Law or any similar topic only for you Order Now (http://www. linfo. org/natural_monopoly. html) Today, telecommunications technology affects lives to a greater degree than ever before. Communication has evolved over many years from the earliest attempts at verbal communication to the use of sophisticated technology to enhance the ability to communicate effectively with others. A natural monopoly is said to exist in an market where the costs of production are such that it is less expensive for demand to be bet by one firm than it would be for that same demand to be met by more than one firm (Benjamin et al. , 2005). Every time a telephone call is made, a television is watched, or a personal computer is used, benefits of telecommunication technologies are being received. The American television industry is presently undergoing rapid change. Where once there was a limit on viewing options imposed by scarcity of electro-magnetic spectrum, confining most views to handful of channels that were dominated by three COM distribution systems, cable television is emerging now as â€Å" the television of abundance,† (Sloan Commission, New York 1981). A natural monopoly is said to exist in any market where the costs of production are such that it is less expensive for demand to be met by one firm than it would be for that same demand to be met by more than one firm (Benjamin et al. , 2005). Examples of natural monopolies are railway systems and telephones systems. All the phones should be connected and network together to attain the highest benefit. The monopoly is called natural because many competitors in these markets tend to die out leaving just one or a few providers for any given geographic area. But, the essence of the concept of a natural monopoly is there, that these are markets that end to have one or few providers. I believe that the government should treat telephones, cable and/or broadcasting companies has a natural monopoly. The technology industry has been a major problem in areas of the United States. Before wireless transmission really ever became a reality, cable was the ruler. After reading and viewing information about this topic customers live in around of the U. S. A that have limited cable service providers in their area and there is only one Cable Company to choose from which proves a natural monopoly. It has been verified time and time again about the lack of competition, the patrons are the ones who pay more for cable services. More over, the absences of superiority programming that the providers were not motivated to provide better service to consumers. The Commission is not the only regulatory authority showing interest in cable television over the years. Local government has also been quite active in the regulation of local cable providers. Indeed, local governments for a long time insisted that cable providers apply to them for permission to be a local â€Å"cable franchisee† and local governments would often extract costly concessions from cable providers in exchange for granting those franchise rights (Benjamin et al. , 2005) The notion of having competition may end up costing more doesn’t prove to be true in most cases, in general having the opportunity to choose the best providers with what is needed on service is far better than having dismal programming and choices. It is in the preferences and providers having all the choices for the consumers that are of benefit and one that is a win-win. Competition does not necessarily prove the notion that it costs more for hardware and software, that these are designed to be able to provide maximum number of customers. The concept of telecommunications may be defined as the transmission of information from one location to another by electronic means. Telecommunications is using electronic systems to communicate. Life is constantly changing and has been shifting faster since the rapid advancements in telecommunication. For the reason that ongoing attempts to find improved and supplementary efficient ways to communicate, the process of communication has gradually enhanced and I believe it will continue to do so.

Humanism and Its Relation to the Art of Governing Essay Example For Students

Humanism and Its Relation to the Art of Governing Essay Humanism is a thought process or a system of beliefs in the significance of actual, real life human beings rather than divine, religious, or non-existing persons. During the Renaissance period, people began moving away from the teachings of the medieval period and began focusing more on the philosophies and teachings that were prevalent during Ancient Greek and Roman times. In Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince, he begins a story that demonstrates a particular style of governing that is a stark contrast from other humanists of that era. In his book, he believes that The Prince should be the one and only governing authority over his people, being the sole person responsible for assessing and concluding how the state should be run, and made sure that all policies and legislations created were written for his benefit. These benefits included a further assertion and domination of his power by gaining, maintaining, and expanding his political ambitions and power (Machiavelli, 5). In the story, his understanding of what he believed was human nature a direct contradiction to that of which all humanists understood and taught. Many followers and believers in the humanist philosophy of Machiavelli’s time felt that each person had the potential to contribute to the growth and overall well-being of the country. Humanists believed that An individual only grows to maturity- both intellectually and morally- through participation in the life of the state (Machiavelli, 6). In general, Machiavelli was not trusting of people, the citizens of a state in particular. He said, â€Å"in a time of adversity, when the state is in need of its citizens there are few to be found† (Machiavelli, 9). Taking it to another level, he further expresses his distrust of the citizens and begins to question their loyalty to the head of state. When meeting with the Prince, he proposes that â€Å" because men wretched creatures who would not keep their word to you, you need to keep your word to them† (Machiavelli, 18). Despite having said such strong words of his people, he did not condone that the Prince should in any way treat his citizens in a negative manner. This statement was further evidence of him keeping the best interests of the Prince at the forefront of his mind, In a monarchy style of government, a head of state can either be loved or feared; one cannot be both. As a result of this, Machiavelli proposes to the Prince that it would be better for him to be a person that instills fear in his people rather than to be loved. By doing so, he was ensured that he would be able to maintain law and order throughout the land. Again, another example of keeping the best interests of the Prince in mind. By creating a state of fear, people were less likely willing or able to commit acts that would go against the head of state, creating chaos and disorder. In Machiavelli’s The Prince, the ruler is a humanist figure because he exists in the physical world. In contrast to that, there are governing bodies that rely solely on divine authority, a spiritual person of interest that does not exist in the physical world. A common form of this type of governing is called Theocracy; a form of governing where a God (or a deity) is recognized as the King or immediate ruler of the governing body (or more commonly known as a church). This God is the person who dictates the laws; generally in the form of a book (i. e. The Holy Bible). These laws are carried out by Bishops, Priests, Ministers, or any other bodies within the church. Their aim is to please their God by carrying out his vision for his people and spreading his message. In modern day culture, there is no existing governing body that oversees a nation where God is the Supreme Leader. Not even the Vatican allows for God to be the ruling governing body. Although, most conservative governments make decisions and implement legislation with God’s law in mind. This is a common practice in places like The Vatican and in more progressive nations such as Great Britain and The United States. .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a , .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a .postImageUrl , .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a , .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a:hover , .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a:visited , .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a:active { border:0!important; } .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a:active , .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u82d6b733757fd865ba5b681eb394d67a:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Fast Food Nation: Logos Appeal EssayIn conclusion, there is one major contrast between a humanist style of governing versus a government based on one single divine authority. A humanist government is a government ruled by a real-life person who institutes law and order through the creation of legislation that creates a society of law and order. A divine authority, or religious-based style of governing, is overseen by a being that is not visible to its people but exists in a series of books and teaching carried out by those who are representatives of the governing body, or church.
