4.4 Summary In this section, you have had the opportunity to work on some mathematical activities yourself. This should have enabled you to: reflect on how you approach mathematics and what helps you to work on a piece of mathematics; remind yourself of those pieces of mathematics that you can work at successfully; identify aspects of mathematics that you can strengthen as you work through the later blocks of this unit;
2.5 Communicating with language It has been suggested that our ‘linguistic competence’ (Chomsky, 1965) consists simply of the ability to construct ‘well-formed sentences’. The sociolinguist Del Hymes (1979) considered this notion to be far too narrow, and proposed the term ‘communicative competence’ to account for speakers’ ability to use language appropriately. Communicative competence lets us know when to speak and when not to speak, how to take turns in conversations and how to start and end them, and how t

It is perhaps the area that first comes to mind when there is discussion about issues of communication and difference in care services, but it is also an area where the arguments are most complex and contentious. As you saw in Section 1, ‘racial’ or ethnic diversity has often been constructed as a ‘problem’ for health and so 2.9 Experiencing prejudice and discrimination Look again at your answer to Author(s): 2.8 ‘Difference’, power and discrimination These first few sections have emphasised the point that differences are always produced in a social context, and that a key part of that context is power relationships. As pointed out earlier, a key element of Foucault’s social constructionist approach is that the way in which people are categorised in society (for example, by gender, ethnicity or age) involves an exercise of power that reflects the ideas and interests of dominant groups. One of the key arguments against essentialist views 2.7.5 Identities are negotiated In constructing their identities, people can only draw on terms that are available in society at that time, which have meanings and associations attached. However, people may attribute different meanings and importance to those labels. This means people always negotiate their identities, in the context of the different meanings attached to them. Taking this view of identity, as a social process that people engage in, rather than as a fixed essence inside them, is not to deny that partic 2.4.3 abelling The term ‘informal carer’ is a label. It was coined to describe people who take on unpaid responsibility for the welfare of another person. It is a term which has meaning only when the public world of care provision comes into contact with the private world of the family where caring is a day-to-day, unremarked-upon activity, like reminding a young child to clean her teeth. Labelling yourself as an informal carer requires a major shift in the way you see yourself, a shift neither Arthur n 2 Background to the Annual Report of the Chinese Welfare Association (1998) The first Chinese families arrived in Northern Ireland in the early 1960s. Since then the Chinese population has continued to grow in number and economic strength to become the largest minority ethnic group. There are approximately 8,000 people and over 500 Chinese businesses across Northern Ireland. Most of these businesses are family-run restaurants and takeaways. Working in the catering industry involves long, unsociable working hours and few opportunities for integration into the wider co 1 The Chinese Welfare Association's Carer Support Project, Belfast This audio unit features a project that was set up in Northern Ireland specifically to support Chinese carers. It is one of several projects being run by the Chinese Welfare Association in Belfast at that time.

They can be very useful for conference bulletins as well as in-house publications, often included in the subscription. Don't forget to ask about student rates. Try looking for the websites of learned societies associated with your subject area (e.g. The Royal Society , the Institute of Electrica 4.3 Children and the armed forces The dual role of children as both perpetrators and victims of violence becomes very clear when looking at child soldiers. Despite international treaties, thousands of children worldwide fight in armies and paramilitary forces. Article 38 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) states that no child under the age of fifteen should fight; supplementary international treaties, such as the 1999 Maputo Declaration on Child Soldiers and the 2000 Optional Protocol to the U Therapy Dogs Visit Georgia Tech Library Maths Lesson: A Job at LEGOLAND Click here to download this lesson as a printable PDF worksheet Learning Intention: To calculate, Berenboek: Talensensibilisering voor het lager onderwijs Ik zag twee beren is een prentenboek met toegankelijke kunstwerken en een tekst in drie talen: het Nederlands, het Frans en het Turks.
