Modern and medieval schools have some similarities. If a medieval student came and visited a modern school today they would see that there schedules would be similar and some of the classes they took. At medieval schools they would get up very early pray, eat and then go to class, then they would get a short break and go to a later afternoon class. In their classes they would be lectured for long period of time. This very similar to what people do in college now, kids can schedule their classes but they can space them out differently so that they can have breaks in between. In these classes kids get long lectures like in the medieval times. Another thing that is similar in their classes they took arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music, grammar, rhetoric and logic and there were separate programs for the further study of law, medicine and theology. In modern times lots of kids go to colleges and study these different classes, they don’t take them all at once anymore but all these classes are still very popular to
take. 12. Medieval Universities and modern Universities are also very different. Most of the colleges were religion based and a lot more strict than they are today. They had to study a certain amount of classes that they were forced to take. They also had to wear uniforms, the same uniforms we wear when we graduate. In modern times now you can choose what you want to to take and do. Also in Medieval Universities women were not allowed not allowed to attend they were all just boys. It wasn’t normal for women to go to school and have jobs back then. Now in modern times the ratio is very equal and women do a lot of things too.

In “Two Years Are Better than Four”, Liz Addison argues against Rick Perlstein’s article “What’s the Matter With College?”. While Perlstein questions the value of college as it currently is, Addison argues that the “community college system is America’s hidden public service gem”(Addison 257). By way of that, she defends the value of college. Unsurprisingly, as with most situations, the truth is somewhere in between ends of a spectrum created by these two articles. While I agree with Addison’s idea of community college being an accessible starting point for everyone, she fails to appropriately represent the unique culture often found in these types of colleges. Also, I think that she also fails to look at the overall purpose of attending school and then neglects to acknowledge the benefits of a four year university.
... come to nothing. Nucleon’s core competencies are doing proper scientific research with its team of experts and their strong link to academia leading to technical prowess; therefore, they should focus on the continuation of their expertise in science.
In conclusion, you can see that both of these ages were very different. From the churches, to the military, to the gods, and the people. These empires were very strong, and would fight to the end of them. The medieval age was based on the high of the Roman age and Rome that of the Greek age. Both of these empires was a big impact of that of the modern today. No matter how far you go back, something will always be based on another.

This course dove into medieval history and touched on all of the most critical elements of the period giving a well-rounded look into the lives and cultures of the middle ages. As the class moved forward it became evident that religion is central to understanding the people, advances, and set backs of this period. We learned how inseparable the middle ages and religion are due to how completely it consumed the people, affected the art, and furthered academics. Since, there is a tendency to teach about history and literature separately from religion and since religion possessed a dominant position in every aspect of a medieval person’s life, while many of us had already looked into the period we missed some crucial cultural context allowing
Every time period is defined by certain events, certain aspects of that period’s culture, and certain people. The Middle Ages are not an exception. The Middle Ages lasted from about AD 350 to about 1450. At the beginning of the Middle Ages, the western half of the Roman Empire began to fragment into smaller, weaker kingdoms. By the end of the Middle Ages, many modern European states had taken shape. During this time, the precursors of many modern institutions, such as universities and bodies of representative government, were created. Throughout this incredible time period many great works of art, changes in religion, and horrible diseases shaped history. The Middle Ages are remembered for the impact of Christianity, the fantastic architecture, and the horrible diseases that spread throughout Europe.
Little is known about MLK Jr.’s primary education only that he was a very smart kid that enjoyed learning. He attended local segregated public schools in Georgia where he later went on to graduate from high school at the age of fifteen. He then enrolled at Morehouse College where he received his bachelor’s degree in 1948. MLK Jr. decided to continue expanding his education by attending Crozer Theological Seminary from 1948 to 1951 and then attending Boston University’s school of Theology. Martín Luther King Jr. met his wife Coretta Scott while attending the university in Boston. MLK Jr. and Coretta Scott were married in Marion, Alabama on June 18, 1953. King Jr. went on to complete his Doctorate in 1955. That same year MLK Jr. began what would be a very important journey that would end up changing the nation’s civil right laws.

The value of college has drastically changed over the course of a century. In the early history of the United States, going to college was a rare phenomena. The first American college, Harvard, was founded in 1636 with the intention of
Most universities require four English credits, at least three math credits, at least two foreign language credits, at least two social studies credits, and at least two laboratory science credits to accept students into the school. However, these schools do look at test scores and students with a musical background do tend to have higher test scores. Additionally, if there is a question between two possible applicants, colleges will look at extracurricular activities. Whichever student has the most impressive list of extracurricular activities is more likely to get accepted than the other.
