What Makes an Effective Teacher?

holesworth @holesworth (220) • Australia 12 Sep 11

As a teaching student, the concept of the 'effective teacher' is one that is examined often. I do not think that there is any one right answer to the question, 'what makes an effective teacher?'. Instead, I feel that the idea...

How many times?

Lore2009 @Lore2009 (7378) • United States 6 Sep 11

How many times have you fallen in love in life? Or been in love in life? After you did the first time, was it hard to fall again? Do you think there is a limit to truly falling in love or do you think people can do it infinitely?...

holesworth I would say that I have been truly in love on two occassions. After I fell in love the first time, it was a little difficult to fall in love again. But I think that it comes down to circumstance. If you are in love and your partner cheats on you, it is harder...

Does wisdom increase with age?

Lore2009 @Lore2009 (7378) • United States 6 Sep 11

Does wisdom increase with age? I guess usually this may be true but I knew a few people who didn't prove this question right. I had a friend who was 10 years older than me but acted like she was younger than me. I also heard of a...

holesworth In many respects, yes, wisdom does increase with age. As we make mistakes, we learn from them; so an 80 year old will have had substantially more lessons than a 20 year old. Having said that, though, I do know people who do not act their age. I have an aunt...

Do you believe in second chances??

sweetaprillynn @sweetaprillynn (207) • United States 6 Sep 11

If someone you love betrays your trust do you give them a second chance? A third? A fourth? At what point do you finally decide it has been enough, and let that person go out of your life? Where do you draw the line?...

holesworth It all depends on what the person has done, I suppose. More often than not, I will give someone a second chance. But that is where I draw the line. I realise that people can make mistakes; however, if they make the same mistake twice, it's a habit. I feel that...

Should Felons be permitted to vote??

sweetaprillynn @sweetaprillynn (207) • United States 6 Sep 11

Some states are denying felons their right to vote. Each state in the United States determines their own laws regarding felon voting. What are your feelings on the subject?? Should all felons be denied their right to vote?...

holesworth If someone has served their time, then I feel that they are more than entitled to the right to vote. After all, they are still required to pay taxes, etc., which is often determined by who's voted - or not voted - in. If imprisonment is the punishment for...

Can someone steal your poem/song your write and post on the internet?

thedataminer @thedataminer (515) • United States 5 Sep 11

Hi, There's a site called gather that I like to post stuff on and I get points for doing so. If I post poems, songs on this site, or other online sites, can someone steal them from me?

3 responses

holesworth In Australia, any work that you produce - any poem or song that you write - is automatically granted copyright and immediately becomes your product. And that is all well and good if you can prove 'he said, she said' arguments surrounding its authenticity. So...

holesworth As has already been mentioned, 'dunno' is simply the slang form of 'don't know'. While I don't necessarily like the shortened form, it has been around since the 1840s. I see it written and hear it spoken quite a lot, so I think that it's becoming more and more...

holesworth I think that most political conspiracies are borne from the non-political domain. That is, they are devised by theorists who suggest the so-called conspiracies without very little evidence to support their claims. I would actually like to believe that...

holesworth I think that it's erroneous to suggest knowledge on the part of the President. His uncle failed to comply with deportation orders, although - by all accounts - he had initially entered the country legally. Another family member who sought asylum - through the...

holesworth I think that credit cards are financially-dangerous things. In a nutshell, you are spending money that you do not have. Sure, it may provide an immediate fix where your needs - or your wants, for that matter - are concerned; but if you do not pay it off within...

Does the profile of a person in facebook represents his Original character???

sudheer1110 @sudheer1110 (44) • India 2 Sep 11

Every social networking site takes some personal details and some info that a person have interest in.all the details given by a person represent his original personality or character??

holesworth I think that people are always capable of misrepresenting themselves, regardless of whether or not it's done using a Facebook profile. I do think that it is easier to do on Facebook, though; but let's not forget that we cannot see the emotion or the context in...
