I am doing some research on the Racial Discrimination Act 1975. What good points can I include? What methods of presentation would be interesting to you, as the audience?
What should I include in a SPEECH on RACIAL DISCRIMINATION?
Start at the beginning! Start at the basics! Lay the Foundation of your speech! DEFINE YOUR TERMS! Provide your audience with definitions of the following terms: Racist, Racism, Discrimination, Prejudice, Stereotype etc. Many statements that are make by well known people are "Label" as racist; when in fact they are not! For example; if I say that Jews are money hungry and greedy, Am I a racist? Is this statement based on discrimination? Am I being Prejudice? Am I Stereotyping Jews? How about "None of the Above" Perhaps the Statement that Jews are money hungry and greedy is nothing more then a statement based on STUPIDITY and IGNORANCE!
Reply:brown eyed, blue eyed demonstration is the most effective thing I have seen to show this for what it is.
Reply:Maybe you should include the civil rights movenment. That would give your speech more information.
Reply:the speech from Dr. M.L.King Jr.'s March on Washington, were there no racial discrimination, the speech and march may have been an anti-war march instead.
Reply:The most important thing to discuss is whether these acts are effective or not, and methods that should be employed to enforce them. You can't legislate against what people think, after all (I doubt there were many racists who woke up one day and went "oh, that bill's been passed; I'd better stop being a racist").

What was the motivation of the Egyptians for building the pyramids?
Hey guys
I am doing a research paper and I need some help. I need some good sources to find the answer of this question (What was the motivation of the Egyptians for building the pyramids?) Please cite the source. I am also looking for the different construction methods or tools that the Egyptians used for building the pyramids.
Thanks
What was the motivation of the Egyptians for building the pyramids?
This answer is about pyramids in Egypt. Pyramids were also constructed in ancient Greece and Mesoamerica. Flat topped pyramids were constructed in ancient China.
Pyramids in Egypt served as tombs, initially only for kings and close members of the royal family, but eventually came to be used (in much smaller forms) by the general populace.
The pyramid is thought to have developed out of the mastaba tomb. Mastaba is an Arabic word, meaning bench, which was applied to the flat-topped, slope sided superstructures of tombs. The pyramid is also thought to be associated with solar worship and the "ben-ben" stone which played a major role in sun worship and was vaguely pyramid shaped.
In the 3rd Dynasty, several mastabas were stacked forming the Step Pyramid of King Djoser. By the 4th Dynasty in the reign of Snefru attempts at building a true pyramid were underway. The pyramids of the 4th and 5th Dynasties, including those at Giza, essentially reflect the further refinement of the pyramid, the chambers within it, and the associated temple complexes. Eventually the standard style was an orientation of east to west (significant in Egyptian religion), with a pyramid temple, located directly on the east side of the pyramid, and a causeway leading to the "valley temple" located near the Nile at the edge of the cultivation.
While it is accepted by reputable Egyptologists that pyramids served as burials for kings, the exact details of the theology behind them remains unclear. One idea, popularized I believe by Dr. Mark Lehner, one of the foremost experts on Egyptian pyramids, is that pyramids served as "resurrection machines" providing all the necessary means for eternal life with the gods for the dead king.
In the late 5th Dynasty in the Pyramid of Unas at Saqqara, we have the first appearance of formal texts within the pyramid itself - the appropriately-named Pyramid Texts. These texts are somewhat esoteric and are essentially a collection of spells, stories, and guides relating to the Underworld. Initially these texts were limited to royalty. In succeeding pyramids, elements of the Pyramid Texts were included in the "Coffin Texts" of the First Intermediate and Middle Kingdom and in the "Book of the Dead" of the New Kingdom - texts available to a broad spectrum of society.
Pyramid construction continued in the Middle Kingdom - again limited to royalty, but not on the grand scale of the Old Kingdom. The last known royal pyramids located in Egypt are that of King Ahmose, founder of the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom (ca. 1550 BCE) and the pyramid-cenotaph constructed for his grandmother, Queen Tetisheri. Both are located at Abydos.
In the New Kingdom, pyramids came to be part of tombs for reasonably wealthy private individuals - frequently added to the exterior portico area of rock-cut cliff tombs or appearing as architectural elements of brick constructed tombs in varous parts of Egypt.
The Napatan and Meroitic kingdoms in Nubia (modern Sudan) also used the pyramid for royal burials at sites such as El-Kurru and Nuri. While the Napatan kings ruled Egypt for a time during the 25th Dynasty and were buried in pyramids, those pyramids were located in Nubia proper.
Pyramid construction relied on highly skilled teams of workmen who were housed nearby the pyramid fields - in the Old Kingdom located in the general vicinity of the ancient capital Memphis at sites now knows as Giza, Saqqara, Meidum, and Dashur. A few pyramids in the Middle Kingdom were located near the Fayum, roughly Middle Egypt.
In addition to the full-time workmen, there was likely a seasonal labor requirement asked of the lower classes of Egyptian society - a sort of taxation, often referred to by the French term "corvee" labor. This is distinct from slavery. While the ancient Greek historian Herodotus (writing over a thousand years after the construction of the pyramids at Giza) reported that he was told the pyramids at Giza were constructed by slaves, Herodotus was wrong about any number of things in his reports and may not even have visited Egypt in person, so he is usually not taken as a realiable source.
Tools included square levels and plumb bobs, set squares, and vertical plumb bobs (which can be seen in the Cairo Museum), as well as copper blades for stone cutting, pounding stones for dressing stone blocks, and a ridged, mushroom shaped device that may have served as a sort of "proto-pulley."

How does one write a dictionary for commercial purposes? Can you use other dictionaries as a basis?
I am interested in publishing dictionaries of philosophy, psychology, medicine, law, religion, mathematics, business, science, foreign language to English and English to foreign language dictionaries, dictionaries of synonyms, antonyms, idioms, etymologies, rhyming and alliteration, etc. I am contemplating using out of print books older than 75 years or 100 years as the source materials as these are as I understand in the Public Domain. I would like to know the necessary methods for writing such dictionaries -- documenting the sources used, the legal concerns in writing such reference works, staying within the bounds of academic and publishing business customs and practices. Any references that might help in these matters would be greatly appreciated. I understand that part of my research will have to be into lexicography itself. I would like to publish these dictionaries and other reference works for both commercial purposes and for Open Content/Public Domain uses.

How effective or uneffective is the Amercian teaching method compared to the rest of the world?
I am doing a research paper regarding dropout rates. Is there a link between the U.S. teaching method and high dropout rates? What is the dropout rate and teaching method in other countries? If we are the superior power in the world, then why is there such a high dropout rate?
How effective or uneffective is the Amercian teaching method compared to the rest of the world?
Not very..look at the research and information compiled in the US statistical manual....I did a similar paper years ago and the facts are frightening... I am in the Special Educational field and I looked mostly at students with 'learning disabilities'...The drop-out rate is significantly higher for these kids. But there are many more factors to include. ie... Socio-ecomic factors, racial percentage to the other population, teacher involvement....there is a basis for all of this. Look in the educational journals..especially if you have or your school library has ERIC. I found some of the most relevant information in places when looking in the prison system archives and such, because usually these kids will go to jail. statistically speaking..
Reply:I live in the USA. I have three kids that live in England. They have been there since about 1991. When my oldest son was in school here he was getting very poor grades. But from the first quarter of school in the England schools his grades whent up like crazy. He is now 25 years old, and has a batchlers degree in Phisics. That should tell you some thing about the English school system.

Why do you use email at work to communicate?
It's for a research power point. Can you tell me some of the benefits of using email rather than other methods, and some things that other means of communication have that email lacks. Please and thank you.
Why do you use email at work to communicate?
Electronic mail is far easier to communicate with because you don't always need to track down an individual in order to communicate. Instead of interacting face to face, e-mail allows for a more rapid means of communication that is beneficial to either party involved. E-mail lacks a personal means to interact that other methods do such as a personal touch, like that of letter writing.
Reply:It's convenient, also gives people a chance to answer at a later time if their busy with something.
Group emails gets the word out at once rather than having to call a meeting.
Provides a paper trail and allows the note to be printable.

What is the best testing method to carry out for an evaluation tool.?
I designed a software evaluation tool for research purposes. It helps monitor what kinds of errors users come across. What is the best test method I can use for testing.
Any info would be great.
What is the best testing method to carry out for an evaluation tool.?
Strange.
The design of a software evaluation tool should have taken into a kind what kinds of errors users were most likely to come across. Allowances for these errors or mechanisms to test them would then have been built into the tool.
More importantly, I can say from experience, that when you consider what kinds of errors users come across, first you'll have to separate system, application, hardware, driver, and user-related (read user-caused) errors.
Unfortunately, users cause most errors! So, from the design standpoint it will be extremely difficult to test for "errors" without considering 'normal' system operation in the hands of clueless users.
Evaluating software in the lab is concerned most with how well applications relate to the system, how well applications inter-relate with each other, how software functions across different browsers, how well it will recover from error conditions, all of the things that will matter before a user gets his/her hands on it.
Then the fun begins.
Where in the life-cycle of a software package will you be able to define a set of parameters that test its design functionality and tests its operation under normal operating conditions, meaning at the hands of users?
Reply:I would say some kind of beta testing with some trusty people (if you don't want your project to be published all over the net already.)
Reply:Get a group of people to test and break your software. Then, use a bug tracker to track what errors people are getting. Most of this can be done through the web.

Reply:No. Me and my b/f use the pill AND the pull out method and haven't gotten pregg yet..(it's been about 2 years).
Reply:Nope. I've been married for two years and I'm still not pregnant. I'm actually off of bc now because we're about to try. I am scared that maybe I can't though because we haven't had a "mistake" so far. I've even skipped up to 3 days before on accident and still no baby. I've known at least two different women that have had a bc pregnancy.
Reply:Yes i did. I was on the injection and got pregnant. I was 7mths and misscarried her
Reply:i think im pregnant right now
Reply:Yes, I took the morning after pill - but - it came in 2 pills and I onlt took one as the first made me so sick I was vomiting that day, so this isn't perhaps all that reliable.
Reply:Not me, but my mother got pregnant with me while on the pill.
Reply:Condoms are only 98%.
The pill will prevent pregnancy, but won't stop STI or STDs
Reply:I did with my third child. After the fact I was told that the antibotics I was taken at the time could have caused the pill not to work. However it seems my doctor and nurse disagreed on if this is really true or not.
Reply:no bc is 100% accurate.
