The alphabet made writing accessible to many more people, thereby spreading existing ideas faster, and encouraged more ideas to form, critical thinking and critiquing were also possible. Before the alphabet other writing systems were very complex and took years of training to learn. There were many rules on when to use which symbols and what [...]

As I mentioned in the previous blog the tree biggest problems that permeate our world today is media’s influence on public opinion, prejudices and over-priced goods. Throughout the semester I will work on the over-priced goods problem because I can have the greater impact on it than the other two. My project calls for the spread [...]

In the previous week blog I had chosen three problems that I believe is a problem in the world, obesity, pollution, and health care. I have chosen to focus on pollution because I believe I can do something about it.  Pollution is a major problem because every day the population is growing and more trash [...]

           The alphabet democratized civilization by making the processes of reading and writing easier as well as more efficient to learn. Since reading and writing became easier to learn, it was no longer limited to those members of society who held a high status or ranking. Everyone was able to read and write and as [...]

In my previous blog the three problems in the world I talked about were poverty, global warming, and the health care issue. I know that two out of these three issues are something that I can try to improve but the one I chose was global warming. I think that if we had the knowledge [...]

One of the biggest issues I see facing the world which was addressed in my week two blog was about the lack of awareness and prevention of HIV/AIDS and STD’s. The project that I wanted to implement was a peer health education program within the community. The program would target individuals of middle school and [...]

In my last blog I wrote about the three most challenging things in our society which were poverty, healthcare, and the lack of education.

            The alphabet was just a simple system of characters which changed the face of civilization during the 18th century BCE.  The alphabet democratized civilization because before the alphabet, only educated scholars knew how to communicate through reading, with the usage of thousands of characters.  The average citizen did not know how to read [...]

            As I stated in last week’s blog, I feel as though the misuse of Earth’s natural resources is one of the hugest problems that our world faces today.  I think that this problem could feasibly be reversed because the small actions of individuals can accumulate to make a huge change, so the efforts [...]

In my pervious blog, I stated three problems that the world is facing. The three I blogged about were world hunger, pollution, and the downfall of economy. Of the three, I chose to concentrate on world hunger as part of my project for the class. I chose to concentrate on world hunger out the other [...]

My project is targeted to the health care crisis, primarily oral health care. I want to implement a school- based sealant program in a nearby school district. It basically is helping to put sealants on children’s teeth to prevent tooth decay. This program is government funded, but it is not really in effect.

In my week two blog, I focused my attention on the health care crisis, but most importantly I focused primarily on oral health care. Last week I wrote that “I am sure that everyone agrees that health care is a major problem, especially in today’s society. Many people tend to focus only on their medical [...]

The problem I would like to address is world hunger. I would volunteer to feel those that are homeless and are in need of food at a soup kitchen. Also, if they needed help in any other way, I would find think of many possibilities. I want to do a fund raiser to help those [...]

Problems… Problems… Problems… Where to start? Even though I picked three problems on second blog, I wanted to focus on hate but I believe there is not a true solution to fix it. So in reality, I will be blogging on hunger too. Are we doing enough to stop it? What more can we [...]

My world problems included global warming, war, and poverty. So, as far as for a project idea, I actually have two ideas and I would like for my classmates and Dr. Homan to choose which one sounds best and sounds most effective. My first project suggestion is for global warming and I was thinking I [...]

The problem that I would like to address is inequality in education. As a project I would go to a local elementary school and do hands on science projects with the students to get them more comfortable with science.

When the first writing systems were developed they were complex and hard to learn. The first written language was cuneiform and was developed around 3200 B.C.E. by the Sumerians. Cuneiform consisted of wedged shaped characters with each character standing for a particular word. Many times one character stood for another word. When hieroglyphics, a logographic [...]

 The alphabet democratized civilization by putting together words that makes this civilization function on a daily basis. The first words were put together by the use of symbols and pictograph forms, by using this method archeaologists, thousands of years later are able to understand the civilization of ancient Egyptians. Through time those symbols and pictographs [...]

          The problem that I will address is the problem pertaining to adequate health. Many individuals do not have access to quality health care and as a result, do not have good or adequate health. Some individuals do have access to quality health care, but do not know the proper precautions to take in terms [...]

So before the alphabets were developed, people first began to communicate using pictograph. They would draw pictures of the things they want to represent. Later their writings system became phonetic. We know of two system that were born later after this,  which were cuneiform and hieroglyphics. Well we also know that these two systems have [...]
