Abstract
This paper examines the effect of class divisions on the current education system in America. It evaluates through a literature review, how the result is that schools in wealthier areas provide more educational opportunity than schools in poor areas because funding is often tied to the tax base and once students graduate, they again find that some get preferences and that a degree in itself does not suffice. It looks at how the failure of education only reinforces what people have long intuitively known, that there is some relationship between social position and educational level. The educational level an adult can attain helps identify that adult as a member of a certain socioeconomic class, while the educational level a child is able to attain will determine his or her future socioeconomic class to a great extent.
From the Paper
"Education is thought to be based on a number of assumptions about promoting ability, recognizing talent, developing the mind, and providing equal opportunity for all. However, Kozol shows that many of these assumptions are given no more than lip-service. Kozol accepts that society does believe in the value of these ideas, and he also indicates that most people believe these assumptions are not only true but are followed. Kozol finds, however, that they are not followed at all in the educational system and that there are a number of reasons for this, most of them economic or economically-based. "

Abstract
This paper analyzes the situation of under-privileged girl children in India in terms of the education system there. The paper makes this analysis through the examination of the interplay of several historical, social, cultural and political factors. The paper relates that it was during the end of the nineteenth century, when the Indian government realized the need for the education of women. The paper further relates that measures adopted during the later years, proved insufficient and, at the time of independence, the government was faced with the formidable task of educating a large section of the uneducated, illiterate population. The paper notes that the government of India thus under took several policies to improve girls' accessibility to education, at least during the early years of the child's life. The paper then points out that it has been widely perceived that bridging the gender gap in education will provide an effective solution to the problem of gender equality. This paper re-examines this contention.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Unequal gender relations may arise due to domestic violence, stress as well as cultural practices of exclusion. These factors, not only promote unequal gender relations but also impact gender related development outcomes. It has been argued that irrespective of the overall socio-economic background, in most cases views on femininity come in conflict with the goals of education, which are directed towards survival and unity. Although education emphasizes on independence and promotes a spirit of inquiry, traditional notions of femininity seek; to create a docile and submissive character of the girl child."

Abstract
In this paper the author looks at the growing need to educate about the environment in order to make a difference. He highlights that the purpose of establishing a global education is to prepare students by expanding their educational opportunities. He suggests this can be done by helping students to learn about the world beyond their own personal borders in order to save the planet from destruction. The author mentions the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which has a division in Washington D.C. called the Environmental Education Division who is willing to give grants to further environmental education. He also mentions the roles that communities can take in furthering education about the environment and concludes that everyone must make an effort - from teacher to parent - to ensure society protects and is aware of the environment.
From the Paper
"I am a proponent of crossing the curriculum and incorporating as much of the world into each unit as possible. As teachers we are being challenged to prepare students for responsible global citizenship and therefore instructional strategies need to be used by teachers that reflect the increasing diversity of today's global society (Becker, 1990). I feel that incorporating global education into the classroom allows the student to see that aspects of Language Arts reaches farther than just the pages of a book. I want students to know that the information within stories are part of a much larger picture in the world. However, in order to establish global education in the classroom each teacher must understand that the education must be appropriate and applicable to the person doing the learning. Too often the subject of environmental education focuses on a topic that is far removed from the reality of the student."

Causes and Effects of the Division and Labor, 2002.
Compares and contrasts the theories of Marx and Engels regarding the causes and effects of the division of labor with Smith's theories.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The basis of Smith's theories about the division of labor in human production rests in his repeated reference to "the natural" effects of production. Marx, on the other hand, understands production as a structure that is premised on social inequalities amongst humans. Where Smith regards "self-interest" as the natural force behind increasing a nation's wealth, Marx regards differences in social class as the source of exploitation in labor. Smith idealizes the division of labor, and Marx & Engels both regard exploitation of social inequality as the basis for divisions in labor.

Abstract
This paper compares the thinking of Karl Marx and Emile Durkheim on the division of labour and social change. It analyzes how each theorist addresses similar social political and economic issues from fundamentally distinct perspectives. The paper demonstrates a critical point of difference between the two thinkers and how that lies in their understanding of the social function of the division of labour and how, in the view of Marx, it leads to social oppression and class conflict, while in the view of the functionalist Durkheim its consequences include individualism and civilization with social solidarity as its function.

?The Division of Labor in Society?, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses how in his book "The Division of Labor in Society", Emile Durkheim sees society as evolving, as developing over time and how he considers the specific element of solidarity as it was manifested at each stage of development. Division of labor is another specific dimension by which we explain the existence of the kinds and types of social organization in a given society. It shows how Durkheim in his book, explains both the nature of society as well as the meaning of, development of and place of individuality within that structure. It examines how Durkheim's vision of the division of labor is of a naturally occurring reality that becomes a force for social cohesion and solidarity, binding individuals in society more closely together and may imperil individuality as a result.
From the Paper
"In discussing the bond of social solidarity, Durkheim indicates that there are two ideal types of solidarity, one mechanical and the other organic. The bond of solidarity is that which defines a society and its rules and regulations, rules which can be transgressed by the criminal precisely because that solidarity exists and stands as that against which crime is directed and defined. Crime is defined by Durkheim as an "act contrary to strong, well-defined states of common consciousness" (Durkheim 60). He then indicates that it is possible to see what kind of solidarity the penal law symbolizes, and he says that it is clear that social cohesion exists when there is a certain conformity of each individual consciousness to a common type, the psychological type of society.

Education in NYC, 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses the teacher's view of the New York City education department and the norms prevalent regarding the treatment of new teachers. The paper examines the issue of volunteering for after school activities or events. The division that team teaching creates is discussed. The change in one's 'peer pool' due to changing from a staff member to administrator is explored. The paper offers several suggested intervention tactics to improve unfavorable situations.
From the Paper
"It wasn't until my third year of teaching at The Clinton School for Artists and Writers in lower Manhattan that I fully caught on to and embraced this shared belief among the staff. The belief was that to be given even the slightest chance of survival, new teachers needed as much in-house help as possible including sharing lesson plans, recommending discipline tactics, reviewing plans prior to an administrative observation and allowing new teachers to do classroom observations. Matthews and Crow (2003) describe these mentoring innovations and collaborations as central practices in helping new teachers develop values that are central to the school's vision. The reason behind these practices at the Clinton School was quite simple; the staff was tired of losing potentially strong teachers to burnout. They felt by developing a support group new teachers would be able to overcome what Clover (2002) suggests are the two most difficult obstacles, fear and apathy. "

The Division of Labor, 2005.
An essay on the concept of the division of labor from both a theoretical and practical perspective.

Abstract
This paper explains what the concept of the division of labor means in terms of its theoretical and practical applications in an industrialized, capitalist society. The paper further explains that such a division of labor makes it impossible to separate an industry fully along the lines of internal divisions of labor, mechanistic and human, from the society which surrounds it.
From the Paper
"It is often the case that a generalized term is often known both by its theoretical and its practical applications, but it sometimes happens that such a term is also known to cover different practical effects when dealing with two different sets of circumstances. When talking about labor and capital, especially the industrialized, mechanistic labor inherent to capitalism, differentiations of application are often made along the lines of human beings and machines, or human beings and the mechanistic work that they are taking part in. The division of labor is mainly thought of by scholars and thinkers as being the whole of two distinct sums: that of the actual mechanized process of separating
and dissociating work as individual parts that lead to a complete whole and that of the effect on the human beings taking part in the dissociated work, in which each person plays an integral, if incomplete, role in the manufacture of a product. "...In one form or another the division of labor has remained the fundamental principle of industrial organization" (Braverman 69). It is a very significant concept concerning both a process and the effects of the process on the workers involved."

Division of Labor, 2004.
This paper discusses that the division of labor is a significant concept that involves both the process itself and the effects of the process on laborers.

Abstract
This paper explains that early political economists considered the division of labor as a fundamental theoretical and practical principle, especially in industrialized, capitalist societies. The author points out that the division of labor involves the actual process of separating labor into distinct roles, which do not let the worker manufacture a completed product, but rather separates the work into dissociated roles that are picked up by different skilled and semi-skilled workers, each completing a part of the process. The paper states that the result and goal of this process is ultimately profit.
From the Paper
"The relation of the division of labor to productivity and efficiency is often explicit. The first condition that must be met, though, is the quantity of the divided parts that are to be produced and assembled by workers. Without an abundance of parts at each individual work-station, the division of labor would be useless, as the product would stop being constructed at any work-area at which materials were not abundant. In this way, the division of labor evinces the same sort of potential problems faced by the individual worker who is unable to complete a project from start to finish due to a lack of materials at any certain point in the process. What is different in the division of labor, then, can be better assayed through the consideration of a successful process than the consideration of a potential problem."
