Economic Influence on Equality of Educational Opportunity

-

Equity and Equality in Education                    Different forms of Academic Discipline

Education vs Indoctrination

Chief features of Metaphysical Poetry

 Education directly refers to improving the economic and social status in society; therefore equality of educational opportunity means to give equal chance to every individual to get educated for the development of his capacity. Infact the Constitution of India has made provisions for equal educational opportunity to all people of the country.

In other words, equality of educational opportunity means the provision of incentives to school children with special facilities and provisions in higher education so as to compensate for the social and economic handicaps faced by disadvantaged sections of society. However, the economic system of India influences the equality of educational opportunity. We all know that India is a developing country as such half of its population lies below poverty line which has to elevate. The factors lying behind are:-

1)     All members of economically backward families get engaged in earning. Even the small children are not spared. Though we find that a small child relatively do very little work and earns meagrely; however, his tiny income counts much for them. We find the time spent by the child in his work is relatively less and flexible to be able to get adjusted along with school hours. But, the mental set-up of family has become as such that they are inclined towards the instant income. Thus, the family feels reluctant to send the child to school.

2)    Secondly, household work and other responsibilities also influence equality of educational opportunity. It is seen that the eldest child of a poor family is assigned the household works and also to look after the younger siblings when the parents are away for work. They cannot think of sparing the child for education.

3)    Though the government for fulfilling this criteria charges only nominal fees and also provides resources necessary for education, still the economic conditions of the family do not allow them to spend on fees and other stationary objects. They think this as an expensive activity. Also, the time taken to get the returns from education is much more;   therefore the poor families worry for their survival and are not ready to spare their helping hands.

4)   Similar kind of situation is found in adult education category. They are so occupied with their work and earning for survival of their family that they hardly feel any inclination towards education. Also, if they are inclined, they hardly have any time to spare.

5)   The deprivations of adequate infrastructure in school do not attract the kids to spend their time there.To conclude, the economic factors of the country also affect the education. Vocational education demands expenditure of more resources which the government is unable to meet. The resources currently allocated do not seem to be adequate to vocationalise in such a way that those who complete it are not well competitive in work. Unless the country is in position to raise Gross National Product the plan and programmes for equal opportunities in education cannot be successfully implemented.

Justify the Title ‘Heart of Darkness’ by Joseph Conrad

-
Kurtz         Marlow Narrative mode Colonialism History of English language Justify (or significance of) the title ‘Heart of Darkness’ by Joseph Conrad.                              OR ‘Heart of Darkness’ is essentially a story of darkness at different levels. Give your opinion.                                     Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness is quite significant and meaningful so far as its title is concerned. It is certainly the story of darkness at different levels- physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual, subconscious etc. It is the story of dark personality like Mr.Kurtz and diabolical possessions. The title basically refers to the dark African continent. Literally it means the inmost region of the territory which was in those days still in the process of being explored and the inhabitants still led a primitive life. By Conrad’s time many parts of Africa had been explored and depicted on the map; even then Africa was still known as the Dark Continent

Character Sketch of KURTZ in Heart Of Darkness

Theme                     Title                 Treatment of Women       Marlow Narrative mode                              Colonialism Education vs Indoctrination Explain Stream of Consciousness Kurtz is the most important figure in Heart of Darkness . Joseph Conrad reveals little about him through the action in the book. We are introduced to this enigmatic character through various events and other persons. His role is a series of images constructed by others. Kurtz’s mother was half-English and his father was half-French. Educated partly in England and partly in other countries, he was a great genius. Conrad presented him as an efficient agent, a painter, a journalist, a musician, a great conversationalist and a great man who could win over the heart of natives. The International Society for the suppression of the Savage Customs had entrusted him with the making of the report, for his future guidance, which when prepared was very eloquent.

Bring out the Autobiographical Elements in Sons and Lovers

-
Theme of Oedipus Complex                    Education vs Learning Critical analysis Use of Symbols History of English Language Doctor Faustus D.H.Lawrence was considered a maverick when a series of novels- The White Peacock (1911), The Trespasser (1912), Sons and Lovers (1913), The Plumed Serpent (1926) and Lady Chatterly’s Lover (1929) written by him were published. He used the medium of novel as a vehicle for communicating his own vision of life. As a fiction writer he exhibited his genius but it was his prophetic vision that really created waves in the world. One of the most disputed men of genius in the history of modern English novel has been excessively praised as well as excessively abused. Eminent critics like T.S.Eliot have condemned him as an uncultured man insensitive to social morality. But, many of them in recent times have defended him against the charges of immorality.     Sons and Lovers is an autobiographical novel, as autobiographical as Arnold Bennett’s C

Short Note on RASA and DHVANI

-
Colonialism History of English Language Doctor Faustus The word Rasa literally means taste, flavour, juice etc. Taking another aspect it is also used to denote the essence of poetry. It signifies the peculiar experience that poetry affords us. The Rasa School stresses this experimental or subjective side of poetic meaning. Bhattanayaka asserted that rasa affects the spectator and developed the theory further by saying that poetic language is different from ordinary language. He imposed on rasa theory a system of theology and philosophy. Rasas (poetic emotions) are invariably pleasurable unlike some natural emotions like sorrow, fear and disgust which are painful. The nature of rasa which is the same as aesthetic experience is alaukika (not of this world) that is transcending the boundaries of worldly experience involving willing suspension of disbelief, negative capability, aesthetic distance and detachment. It is realized when an emotion is awakened in the mind in such a manner

Justification of the Title LOOK BACK IN ANGER

-
John Osborne’s plays represent the ‘ordinary’ or ‘real’ life on stage. The most famous of them are- The Entertainer, Epitaph for George Dillon, Plays for England, Inadmissible Evidence and Look Back in Anger. All his plays demand consideration of the social, economic, political and cultural changes that Britain underwent in the period immediately after the Second World War. Look Back in Anger was inspired by his own life. Osborne himself admitted saying that the marriage ceremony in the play was, A fairly accurate description of our wedding . By just considering the title Look Back in Anger, it is often read as though like a command to perform a particular action. However, just by title it is not clear that injunction made is referred towards whom- whether to character, play or audience. Considering another aspect, the title can be taken in a descriptive way as telling us what the play actually does. Probably, there is another way of dividing it in two themes- the action of ‘lo
