Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

Postmodern theorists often highlight difference and irregularity in society. From this perspective, education is a social institution characterized by its permeability. In contemporary schools, a wide diversity of family kinship systems is recognized, and educators attempt to be substitute parents and promulgators of self-esteem in students. Urbanity is reflected in multicultural and anti-bias curricula that are initially introduced in early-childhood education. Similarly, autonomy is evidenced in policies such as school voucher systems, under which parents have a choice about which schools their children will attend. Since the values of individual achievement and competition have so permeated contemporary home and school life, social adjustment (how to deal with others) has become of little importance to many people. Postmodern views of higher education might incorporate the ideas of sociologist George Ritzer, who believes that McUniversity can be thought of as a means of educational consumption that allows students to consume educational services and eventually obtain goods such as degrees and credentials. College and university administrators are aware of the permeability of higher education and the studentas consumers model.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
