The English language uses many processes of word formation, so probably your question refers to the main processes, plural. These include compounding, blending and the related analogy, and acronyms. Compounding is the combination of two nouns to form another. Usually it is written as a single word. Example: “carport.” ▪  Blending  Blending is the combination of parts of two words to create a new word with a different meaning, or coinage. One author who notably coined many words is Lewis Carroll, especially in his poem “Jabberwocky.” Example: “Slithy” usually considered to blend “slimy” and “lithe.” Others pronounce it with a short I, however, claiming “slither” is a component. In blending, part of one word is stitched onto another word, without any regard for where one morpheme ends and another begins. For example, the word swooshtika 'Nike swoosh as a logo symbolizing corporate power and hegemony' was formed from swoosh and swastika. The swoosh part remains whole a...

What were   the objectives   of Education in Ancient Athens, and how did Education prepare students for their roles in the society? Athens was the main educational, intellectual and cultural center of Ancient Greece. The main purpose of education in Ancient Athens was to make citizens trained in the arts, and to prepare them for both peace and war. It was aimed at the cultivation of the students' physical, mental, and moral qualities.   From Athens we get the motto: A sound mind in a sound body. All schools were very small private schools, and education was very valued. Boys Until age six, boys were taught at home by their mother or a male slave. Age six to 14 was primary school. The teacher in school was always a male. Once the youths were 16, their 'basic education' was complete. The boys who didn't have to work could now study the sciences and philosophy. From the ages of 18 to 20, able bodied young men had to take military trainging for the army or the na...

Who were the Athenians? Athens was another Greek city-states, just like Sparta. Greece as we know it today as a country did not yet exist then. Rather, small city states like Sparta, Corinth, Megara and Athens were to be found in what is today the Greek peninsula. What bound these city-states today was the common Greek language. THE ORIGIN OF THE ATHENIAN EDUCATION  Originally, Athens was like Sparta in its approach to the education of the citizens, with a heavy orientation towards the military training. However, beginning at a date difficult to fix precisely (at the end of the 7th or during the 6th century), Athens, gradually renounced the type of education oriented towards the future duties of the soldier. This did not mean that military life was totally excluded from the life of the Athenian youth. Rather, it meant that the military no longer dominated the life of the youth. ‘The Athenian citizen was always obliged, when necessary and capable, to fight for the fatherlan...

CRITICAL ANALYSIS The purpose for writing a critique is to evaluate somebody's work (a book, an essay, a movie, a painting...) in order to increase the reader's understanding of it. A critical analysis is subjective writing because it expresses the writer's opinion or evaluation of a text. Analysis means to break down and study the parts. Writing a critical paper requires two steps: critical reading and critical writing.

Education can take place outside the four walls of a classroom. History is a study or focus on past events. It could be either about various theories, systems or other related phenomenon of the past. The study of past Education enables us understand how it has evolved and developed. History is therefore the study of the past, analysing of the present and for casting the future. GREEK EDUCATION People from Greece are called ‘greeks’. The land of Greece is known as ‘THE BALANCE PENINSULA’. It is close to the Mediterranean Sea. The people of the modern Greece are a mixture of the ARYAN RACE and the inhabitants of Balkan peninsula. Ethnic groups settled in towns like: ▪Sparta ▪Athens ▪Corinth (These were City states/towns) Their objectives of Education will be futher explained later on. In terms of Religion the Greeks were and are still polytheistic- meaning they served many God’s and goddesses like Zeus, Hermes, Apollo, Aphrodite, Athena, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, Persephone a...

What were the objectives of education in Ancient Sparta, and how did education prepare students for their roles in society? Spartans believed in a life of 'discipline, self denial, and simplicity,' and so the purpose of education was, simply, to produce an army. When babies were born, soldiers came to check the child. If it appeared healthy and strong, they would be assigned to a 'brotherhood' or a 'sisterhood,' however if the baby appeared weak and small, the infant would be left to die on a hillside or taken away to be trained as a slave. It was 'survival of the fittest' in Ancient Sparta Boys Male Spartan children were sent to military school at the age of six or seven. They lived with their brotherhood.School courses were very hard and painful for boys, and school was described as a 'brutal training period.' Between the age of 18 and 20, Spartan males had to pass a fitness test that consisted of fitness, military ability, and leade...
