Reading comprehension has always been one of the basic language skills that is taught both to native and nonnative speakers. In the past, educators employed traditional methods, that is, those which did not require any additional materials except for the text. Recently, with the rise of technologies in the classroom has added new strategies for teaching reading comprehension skills. Apart from facilitating the learning process, technologies prove to create difficulties for teachers, who are nowadays required to know to use ICT (information and communication technology) but often lack the necessary skills. There is little information about educators’ perception of their competence in using ICT for introducing reading comprehension strategies; hence, this question needs to be properly studied to find out what modern teachers think about their technological skills and whether they find the latter useful for their work.
The environment plays an essential role in the survival of humanity hence the rise of protection agencies against environmental destruction. Global environmental governance is the process of regulating the process of global environmental protection. Global environmental governance is a combination of organizations, procedures, financing mechanisms, rules, policy instruments, and norms. There are various organizations that directly or indirectly aid in global environmental governance; the organization can be local or international such as amnesty international. Such organizations help protect the environment in various ways; through directly getting involved in the protection of the environment or protecting those who protect the environment. Despite the aid given by these organizations, there tend to be weaknesses; areas the organization can improve on to be more efficient in environmental protection. The shortcomings of the organizations can be improved and in the process, allow the organization offers better environment protection and governance.
Introduction The colonies denied the Americans their rights and it is these rights that they fought to attain. Americans were mistreated, denied the right to freedom suffered inequality and tolerated a religion that came with the British colonies. The ideas of the American Revolution were born through enlightenment. Enlightenment explored the ideas of empowerment, reasonability, and reciprocity. Enlightenment was hence the age of reason, intellectuals, and philosophers who channeled freedom in American from its colonies. As an intellectual Enlightenment movement, it used religious tolerance, freedom of speech, freedom of press and equality to win against the British colonies. To become their own, the Americans had to use enlightenment in order to overcome the colonies. The leaders who led the Enlightenment sought to acquire freedom by demanding freedom changes that would be beneficial to them in the future. Prominent figures of the Revolutionary War argued for a revolt against English tyrannical rule through presenting how the inequality of the monarchical system violated ideas of Enlightenment thought of which American ideals were built including the natural rights of man, self-determination, and freedom of speech.
A few years ago I became especially interested in positive psychology as the way of world perception. I have read a lot of books and articles on this topic and felt that positive thinking really helps me to overcome hardships. I decided to study positive psychology after I have accidentally come across an online article about this field of psychology. I was a blog dedicated to mindful living and there the author wrote about positive phycology as the thing which helped her to overcome a difficult period in her life. I believe it was a kind of a sign in my life because at that time I felt very anxious due to the fact that it was a turbulent period in my life when I was thinking a lot about the priorities in my life and the future of my family.
Convenience sampling is a non-probability technique of sampling where the participants of a given research are selected based on the convenience of the researcher. Factors such as availability, proximity, and accessibility of the participants by the researcher are considered in the choice of the participants (Chauvet, 2017). Convenience sampling is best used when the study participants are spread over a wide area, where reaching all the participants will require the use of a large amount of money. For instance, a study on the psychological effects of Ebola in Africa would be an expensive multicenter study. However, if convenience sampling is used, the cost of the study will be reduced since only one center can be used to conduct the study.
Marietta is in Cobb County, which is one of the fastest growing urban areas in the United States. The residential, business, industrial growth, military occupation, architectural transformation, and economic prosperity define its history. For several years, developments in these aspects of the region played a significant role in transforming the political, economic, and social life of the region as it does in every society.

These activities played a significant role in reinforcing the social fabric of the residents and how the region grew to be a small urban center in Cobb County.
Anti-Judaism refers to the oldest hatred against Jews. Anti-Semitism in Greco-Rome was based on religious, political, and socioeconomic differences between Christians and the Jews. The rivalry between the two groups led to persecution, destruction of homes, and expulsion of Jews from Rome. Also, the Jewish communities in Europe faced hostilities, forcing them to resettle in other places. The western Jews made a significant contribution in the arts, literature, and other areas in the European culture. Eastern Jews isolated themselves from other communities in the country, and they were involved in European politics. Religious, political, and socio-economic factors influenced anti-Semitism in Greece and Rome.
Decline of the customers despite Lisa’s Promise that they would Increase Issue Carl and Lisa’s contract was based on the supply of eco-friendly detergents by Lisa’s company to Carl’s car-wash business based on Lisa’s promise that the product would enable Carl’s business to grow. In this case, the issues to be considered are: Does the promise for the business to increase after using Lisa’s detergent constitute a business contract?
