Adult Learning Styles, Temperaments And Theories In "Educating Rita"
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Educating Rita is about two types of education: cognitive and experiential. Academic education is what drives a civilized society and the fundamental component of success, be that financial, interpersonal or self-worth. Practical education is that which is acquired as one moves through the different phases of life and learns from the inside out. For Rita, education was all of this rolled together; while she already possessed experiential knowledge, she gravely lacked proper intellectual prowess she knew would serve to fill in the missing pieces of her life. Rita was both overzealous and under-prepared as a student when pitted against the advanced academic career of her tutor, Dr. Bryant. Watching their educational dance proceed with an undeniable awkwardness, the audience comes to appreciate the intensity of Rita's quest for self-improvement just as much as her somewhat jaded professor, who ultimately comes around to champion her aspirations with the help of a number of learning theories.

Aging Population's Impact on Adult Education
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper that discusses a prevalent demographic trend that is having a tremendous impact on adult education is the rapidly increasing number of older adults. On average, every "50 seconds another 50 baby boomers celebrate their 50th birthdays" (Morris and Ballard, 2003, p. 167). Baby Boomers are the generation born between 1946 and 1964 and they constitute one of the largest segments of the American population. Due to the progression of this demographic bump through the lifespan, the number of adult education programs for midlife and older adults has expanded tremendously over the course of the last 2 decades, with many programs moving beyond the traditional subject matters, such as recreational activities (Morris and Lane, 2003).

Allowing Segregation In College Dormitories
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Yale University's regulations demand that freshman and sophomore years are spent living in the college dormitories. Members of some minority groups on college campuses often insist on living together in separate dorms, taking their meals together, engaging in separate activities and just generally living apart from those who are not of their ethnic background. In light of today's emphasis upon the multicultural experience, should the university allow such segregation? Indeed, there is no question that this should be allowed to progress is this direction, inasmuch as forcing people to integrate with one another in the past has not proven a successful venture.
