3.1 Competing explanations of social problems If we can agree that poverty is a social problem, we are led to another question: what sort of social problem is it? For some, it is a social problem because people should not be poor: it involves social injustice. For others, poverty is a social problem because poor people behave badly (or bring up children poorly): it involves social disorder. We therefore have another parting of the ways, with some believing that social justice requires poor people to become less poor, and others believing

5 Conclusion Robert Wilkinson (2005) has suggested that Romanticism in the end became ‘the dominant view of art in Europe, and we are to this day its heirs’. This is nowhere truer than in song. Even if you have never encountered German Lieder before, you may have been struck by how the emotional directness of Schubert's writing seems like something familiar from much more recent times. The attempt directly to express emotional experience in poetry and in song, often without explanation or narrative, i

Briefly write the story of your day so far reflecting carefully on the amount and types of thinking you have done. 5.1 More information about modelling techniques The four remaining diagramming techniques are described in separate sections below, which you should now study: Lovely Owl 2.1 Zero electrical resistance In this section we shall discuss some of the most important electrical properties of superconductors, with discussion of magnetic properties to follow in the next section. The most obvious characteristic of a superconductor is the complete disappearance of its electrical resistance below a temperature that is known as its critical temperature. Experiments have been carried out to attempt to detect whether there is any small residual resistance in the superconducting state. A sensitive t 3.3 Strawson: Section V Click to open Peter Strawson's article 'Freedom and Resentment'. DNA supercoiling and protein binding in the E. coli chromosome As discussed earlier, the DNA of the E. coli chromosome is highly negatively supercoiled due to the action of the DNA gyrase enzyme (Section 3.2). This negative supercoiling serves to assist in compaction of the DNA, with the repulsive forces of the sugar-phosphate backbones being counteracted by polyamines. Many of the protein Journeys in indigo Learning to learn: Learning can mean change How to Teach Vowel Sounds to Kindergartners Keep on learning There are more than 800 courses on OpenLearn for you to choose from on The Royal Harmonizers 2.1.1 Try some yourself Measurement of a ceiling gives a length of 6.28 m and a width of 3.91 m. (a) Make a rough estimate of the area of the ceiling (the length times the width). 5.6 Other stanza lengths Other stanza lengths include the sestet, and the octave. We've looked at how poems utilise line-breaks and stanzas to evoke a landscape, develop ideas and to present different elements, the juxtaposition of which suggests an argument. We've looked at poems which are about themselves – about line-breaks or poetry itself – and found that they are also about something else. Poetry doesn't always move in a linear fashion, following a single idea or event. It can jum 3.1 Key themes and learning outcomes The key themes of Part B are: business mediums; sole trader; partnership or firm; assets and liabilities.
