PolarNik [594]3 years ago

The main theme of "By Any Other Name," by Santha Rama Rau is that personal and cultural identities are important.

In this Anglo-Indian day school, both girls were given an Anglo name because their names were said to be, "hard to pronounce." Even if the narrator, Santha, was the same person, she felt detached to herself as "Cynthia," in school. It was as if it was another person because she had to be someone else, once she entered campus. She and her sister were brought up in a different culture and they felt that in their school as they were often segregated and singled-out because of their race. In the end, Premila had enough of the discrimination and she and her mother decided that it was not a school to go back to. Even when they thought that Santha did not understand what was happening, it was revealed that she did.

This shows that personal and cultural identities are important because no matter what happened in school they maintained to be themselves as they were brought up to be and rejected the person they "should" be in school.

Cheating in school/university has been taking place in the academic field for a long time. A recent study found out that 64% of
kherson [118]

Answer:

Three causes of cheating are:

1. Lack of preparation

2. Family pressure

3. Inability to meet with school demands.

Explanation:

1. Lack of Preparation- this is one of the main causes of cheating in school. When a student fails to prepare adequately for a test or exam, through dedicated studying, there is a high tendency that he will feel unprepared to take the test. As a result, such student will try to make up for it by cheating.

2. Family pressure: This is usually common in families that leave little to no room for mistakes from their wards. This is sometimes communicated as threats to the student (e.g if they fail to pass or attain a certain score, so and so will happen) and translates to fear in the student. As a result, such student due to the pressure, will cheat to ensure he/she doesn't return with a less than outstanding score.

3. Inability to meet with school demands- this could be due to having learning disorders which makes learning difficult for the student or even trying to combine school with work. Either way, this interferes with learning and retaining information for the student that they resort to cheating in order not to fail.

These are three causes of cheating in schools.

Internal or External conflict? An employee having to work against a very tight deadline
vladimir2022 [97]
This is an external conflict. An external conflict happens between a character, in this case the employee, and some external obstacle or challenge. This challenge can be a person, animal, thing, or something a bit more abstract like a deadline. 

An internal conflict, on the other hand, is between the character and his or herself, perhaps due to opposing values or goals. In this case, the employee might be conflicted between working on the deadline or just quitting her job and moving to Bora Bora (she should choose the second one)
