Download or read book YOU Wouldn t Understand written by Sarah Pearce and published by Trentham Books Limited. This book was released on 2005 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You Wouldn't Understand" looks at ethnic diversity in schools through the eyes of teachers rather than pupils. It tells the story of one white teacher's developing understanding of how her own racial and ethnic background influenced the way she regarded and taught the mainly South Asian Muslim children in her classes. She began with a belief that narrowness in the curriculum was her students' problem, but she came to see the bigger picture. The book charts her gradual realization that many of the problems lcome from her own lack of understanding of race, racism, and her own racial identity. The book explores the idea of whiteness as not a biological but a social construction, and one which influences white people's ways of seeing the world in often unnoticed ways. The author relates whiteness to aspects of her own behaviour, which she recorded in a diary over five years. The book also considers the children's struggles to construct and understand their own emerging identities in this environment, and the views of several other white teachers, some of whom shared the author's confusion and doubts, and others who were more confident about teaching in culturally diverse classrooms. This searching analysis of the innards of whiteness and the way it affects how white teachers approach pupils who are not white is illuminating and important. It should be required reading for all teacher trainers and all white trainee teachers, as well as for white managers and teachers working in multi-ethnic schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are probably not aware, because of their hidden nature, but Artificial Intelligence systems are all around you affecting some of the biggest areas of your life—jobs, loans, kids, mental health, relationships, freedoms, and even healthcare decisions that can determine if you live or die. As an executive working in AI at one of the largest, most sophisticated tech companies on the planet, Cortnie Abercrombie saw firsthand how the corporate executives and data science teams of the Fortune 500 think about and develop AI systems. This gave her a unique perspective that would result in a calling to leave her job so she could reveal to the public the sobering realities behind AI without any constraints or Public-Relations candy-coating from corporate America. In this book she makes it easy to understand how AI works and unveils what companies are doing with AI that can impact you the most. Most importantly, she offers practical advice on what you can do about it today and the change you should demand for the future. This book drops the hype, over-exaggerations, and big scientific terms and addresses the pressing questions that non-insiders want answered: • How does AI work (in words you don’t need a PhD to understand)? • How can AI affect my job, replace me, or prevent my hire? • Is AI involved in life-or-death decisions in healthcare? • Could my digital accounts or home network be hacked because of my AI-based Smart TV, coffeemaker, or robot vacuum? • How does AI know so much about me, what does it know, and can it be used against me? • Can it manipulate people to do things they wouldn’t normally? • Could AI help push my teen to self-harm or suicide? • Is fake news a real thing? • How can AI affect my rights and liberties? Does facial recognition play a part? • What can I do to protect myself, my kids, and my grandkids? • What should I demand from educators, lawmakers, and corporations to ensure AI is used in ways that are safe, fair, and responsible? • Is AI worth having? What could AI do for us in the future? It’s time to understand what this AI hubbub is all about and what you’re going to do about it because what you don’t know about AI, could hurt you.

Download or read book The Mother Other Unsavory Plays written by Stanis_aw Ignacy Witkiewicz and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 1993 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited and translated by Daniel Gerould and C.S. Durer, foreword by Jan Kott. Painter, playwrights, novelist, aesthetician, philosopher, and expert on drugs, Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz - or Witkacy, as he called himself - remains Poland's outstanding figure in the arts between the two world wars. This volume brings together three of Witkiewicz's best works for the stage as well as a selection from his critical writing. The plays deal with the author's principal themes and obsessions: the dilemma of the artist in the twentieth century; the revolutions in science and politics; and the bankruptcy of all ideology, the decline of western civilization, and the coming of totalitarianism. Yet, far from being solemn or even serious in tone, these apocalyptic dramas are permeated with grotesque humor and characterized by a wild theatricality that particularly appeals to contemporary sensibility.
