EFN 302: PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION BRIEFLY SHOW THE RELEVANCE OF PHILOSOPHY IN EDUCATION
Philosophy is relevant in education since it focuses on who should be educated, how they should be educated and what they should be taught.
...
Philosophy helps to discriminate between information and misinformation in the invaluable sources of information, concepts, theories, intellectual perspectives, and evaluative viewpoints; their sheer quantity and diversity.
It helps in taking a responsible critical stance towards a viewpoint by cultivating the required attitudes of benign skepticism.
It teaches students how to read, comprehend, and summarize conceptually difficult material. Students learn to pay careful attention to conceptual distinctions, to isolate central from peripheral points, to be alert for ambiguities and invalid inferences—in sum, to take an active rather than passive approach to reading.
Philosophy teaches both the learners and the educators formulating, articulating, and defending one’s own views beside being able to write clear expository prose about a philosophical view.
Students learn to subject opinions to logical scrutiny by asking pertinent questions, constructing relevant analogies, and critically assessing the consequences of the viewpoints expressed as well as the importance of accurate interpretation, logical organization, clarity of expression, due consideration for others’ positions, the use of concrete illustrative examples, and staying focused on the issues at hand.
philosophy studies the history of ideas and texts that have profoundly shaped various schools of thought about basic ethical values, political systems and ideals, human rights, the human good, the nature of knowledge and science, and the fundamental structure of reality. Thus, it helps transmit cultural heritage.
Philosophy contributes to further critical thinking or logical reasoning, sensitivity to values, and awareness of global issues. The study of philosophy helps students to develop both their capacity and their inclination to do critical thinking. Philosophy courses in ethics, social and political philosophy, philosophy of law, philosophy of medicine, bioethics, environmental ethics, and aesthetics prepare students to be thoughtful, discriminating, and responsible citizens.

EFN 302: PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
CRITICALLY DISCUSS THE CLAIM THAT ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE PHILOSOPHERS
Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.
...
The essence of man comprises both the spiritual sphere, the sphere of the mind, and his bodily organisation. Man becomes aware of himself as a part of the social whole.
If human existence is examined at the organismic level, we discover the operation of laws based on the self-regulation of processes in the organism as a stable integral system. At the organismic level, the human being is part of the natural interconnection of phenomena and obeys its necessity.
In Christianity the biblical notion of man as the "image and likeness of God", internally divided owing to the Fall, is combined with the theory of the unity of the divine and human natures in the personality of Christ and the consequent possibility of every individual's inner attainment of divine "grace".
the world of natural necessity studies what nature makes of man, while that of moral freedom, is concerned with what he, as a freely acting being, does, can or should make of himself.

EFN 302: Philosophy of Education
WHY ARE HUMAN BEINGS UNIQUE?
Man is by nature indispensably dependent on culture. Humans are characterized by deficiencies and incompleteness which necessitate the development of language and culture. The tendency for self-aggrandizement in terms of the power instinct makes human peculiar. Procedures for checking, evaluating, controlling and planning action in an anticipation of the future also make him a special or unique being.

AHT 326 NATIONALISM
Critically trace origins and development of modern nationalism.
Although nationalism is unique to the modern world, some of its elements can be traced throughout history. The first roots of nationalism are probably to be found in the ancient Hebrews, who conceived of themselves as both a chosen people, that is, a people as a whole superior to all other peoples, and a people with a common cultural history. The ancient Greeks also felt superior to all other ...peoples and moreover felt a sense of great loyalty to the political community.
The 19th Century nationalism, which is considered Modern nationalism can be traced back in Germany where thinkers developed the idea of Volk. However, the nationalism that inspired the German people to rise against the empire of Napoleon I was conservative, tradition-bound, and narrow rather than liberal, progressive, and universal. And when the fragmented Germany was finally unified as the German Empire in 1871, it was a highly authoritarian and militarist state.
Italy also achieved national unification and freedom from foreign domination, but certain areas inhabited by Italians (e.g., Trieste) were not included in the new state, and this gave rise to the problem of irredentism.
In the United States, where nationalism had evinced itself in the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, national unity was maintained at the cost of the Civil War.
In the latter half of the 19th cent., there were strong nationalist movements among the peoples subject to the supranational Austrian and Ottoman empires, as there were in Ireland under British rule, and in Poland under Russian rule. At the same time, however, with the emergence in Europe of strong, integrated nation-states, nationalism became increasingly a sentiment of conservatives. It was turned against such international movements as socialism, and it found outlet in pursuit of glory and empire (see imperialism). Nationalist conflicts had much to do with bringing on World War I.
The Twentieth Century The early 20th cent., with the breakup of Austria-Hungary and of the Ottoman Empire, saw the establishment of many independent nations, especially through the peace treaties ending World War I. The Paris Peace Conference established the principle of national self-determination, upheld by the League of Nations and later by the United Nations. While self-determination is a nationalist principle, it also recognizes the basic equality of all nations, large or small, and therefore transcends a narrow nationalism that claims superiority for itself.
At the same time, Asian and African colonial territories, seeking to cast off imperial bonds, were developing nationalist movements. The most famous of these was the Indian National Congress, which struggled for Indian independence for over 60 years. After World War II nationalism in Asia and Africa spread at such a fast pace that dozens of new "nations" were created from former colonial territorial holdings.

ECT 300 COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
EXAMINE EDWARD HALL'S THEORY COMMUNICATION
According to anthropologist Edward Hall, proxemics refers to the study of how humans construct and manage “microspace”--the distance between people in the conduct of everyday transactions, the organization of space in their houses and buildings, and the design of their towns.
...
More on Proxemics
The ways in which space is used and interpreted are cultural matters. Humans’ use of space can be thought of as a specialized elaboration of culture. Proxemics is related to haptics - touching behavior; commmunication via touch.
Proxemics - Space and Distance Types of Space Fixed-feature space Semifixed-feature space Informal Space
Types of Distance Intimate Distance Personal Distance Social Distance Public Distance
Distance Factors in Conversation Posture-sex factors Sociofugal (discouragement of interaction) and sociopetal (encouragement of interaction) axis Kinesthetic factors (body and distance) Touching behavior

ECT 300 COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
APPRAISE BIRDSWHISTELL'S THEORY IN COMMUNICATION
Ray L. Birdwhistell, in this study of human body motion, a study he terms kinesics, advances the theory that human communication needs and uses all the senses, that the information conveyed by human gestures and movements is coded and patterned differently in various cultures, and that these codes can be discovered by skilled scrutiny of particular movements within a social context.
...
Birdwhistell’s Six Key Assumptions 1. All body movements have meaning potential in communicative contexts. 2. Behavior can be analyzed because of patterns and repetitions. 3. Although body action has biological limits, the use of body motion in interaction is part of the social system. Kinesics 4. People’s visual bodily activity can influence others. 5. Communicative functions of bodily activity can be studied. 6. A person’s use of bodily activity will have unique, idiocyncratic aspects while also being part of a larger social system shared with others.

AHT 326: NATIONALISM IN AFRICA AND THE DEVELOPING WORLD
WHAT IS NATIONALISM? DISCUSS THE GROWTH OF NATIONALISM IN AFRICA
NATIONALISM is a socio-cultural and political consciousness of a people who identify themselves on the basis of shared language, culture, religion, history and philosophy
...
African nationalism developed as a political ideology in opposition to foreign rule. The desire for independence, self determination and common hatred for all repressive and dehumanizing evils associated with European colonialism
the development of nationalism in Africa took different patterns including: Local Protest movements, Syncratic Movements, Modernist Nationalists Movements
The loss of independence to foreigners and the introduction of foreign systems of government caused feelings of resistance among indigenous African rulers and peoples of Africa. Spontaneous nationalist movements which the Eurocentric scholars described as nativistic such as Mau Mau Movement of Kenya and Mesianic Movement of Sudan among others sprung up.
The syncratic movements are the separatist religious movements which began to manifest as early as 1870s especially in Western and Southern Africa. These breakaway kind of movements from the Anglican, Methodist and Catholic Churches realized that the European churches were themselves organs of colonial rule. Besides being opposed to European control, these secession arose also as a positive desire to adapt the message of the church to the heritage of the African people.
The modernist nationalists movements were labour groups, principally trade unions and cooperative societies and professional middle class movements led by Western Educated Africans who fought against racism and discrimination and struggled to advance the well being and economic status of the members of the group. The educated Africans picked up language of democracy and freedom from the American war of independence. They also got the vocabulary of liberty, paternalism and equality made popular during the French Revolutions. This group includes the Pan Africanists and the Trans Territorial movements based in Diaspora
