2 / 0
http://www.accreditedonlinecolleges.com/blog/2012/20-essenti...
With Judaism’s ancient roots and subsequent millions upon millions (perhaps billions?) of stories and experiences, it’s inevitable that some of the literary world’s most compelling narratives spring directly from it. Anyone partaking of Jewish studies courses as a major, minor, or simply an elective of interest might want to supplement their lessons with some highly influential, insightful fiction. Each one peeks into a different element of the religion and ethnicity’s history, culture, or both and provides sometimes hopeful, sometimes tragic commentary worth exploring.

1 / 0
http://www.onlineuniversities.com/blog/2012/02/10-reasons-ac...
Most of the great breakthroughs in science, math, and philosophy haven’t been readily accepted by mainstream society, even though the scholars that presented these iconic ideas are lauded for their genius today. Academia, at many times in history, has been the refuge of those who are willing to think outside the box and come to conclusions about the world and our place in it that may be hard for people to stomach. Yet increasingly, this radical element of academia is falling by the wayside, leaving many wondering why academia just isn’t as edgy as it once was.While there are still some radical academics out there, they’re becoming increasingly few and far between. Mainstream media, funding issues, controls on academic freedom, and even the university structure itself all have a role to play in the decline of radical academia. Read on to learn more and why, for better or worse, academics of today are a much better-behaved group than those in the past.

The 8 Easiest Languages for English Speakers to Learn
1 / 0
http://www.onlinecollege.org/2012/01/29/the-8-easiest-langua...
On an increasingly international planet, multilingualism is fast becoming a desired trait in employees, meaning today's college students enjoy an advantage if their degree plans require a second (or even third!) language. English speakers in America particularly find this possibility challenging, as far too many schools downplay the importance of learning to speak something additional. Fortunately, those who feel as if the system failed them in this regard can still pick up a foreign language relatively quickly. The following, ranked as Category I by the Foreign Service Institute but listed in no particular order, offer up comparatively easy starting points. Starting points which might very well prove useful for more than touristic reasons!

3 / 0
http://www.onlineuniversities.com/blog/2012/01/10-things-you...
Higher education seems to be at a crossroads these days, as the cost of college continues to shoot sky high and students are increasingly finding (and demanding) more flexible learning opportunities — like online universities — carefully tailored curriculum, and more. The college we know today is not likely to be the college that future students will know tomorrow, and we’re already seeing big signs of change in the works. While a lot of new features are likely to be added to the college experience, some will undoubtedly go by the wayside, including these ten almost fundamental elements of college that are slowly being replaced.

What it is that makes Americans so resistant to learning foreign languages? Maybe it’s our history of isolationism, maybe it’s patriotism, maybe (probably) it’s laziness. If English was good enough for Jesus and Shakespeare, it’s good enough for us, we sometimes say. But a few moments of surfing the worldwide web is time enough to discover that many of us refuse even to learn our own language. Here are 20 cold, hard, embarrassing facts about foreign language learning in the U.S. of A.

30 Essential Reads for Philosophy Majors
1 / 0
http://www.onlinecollegecourses.com/2011/12/19/30-essential-...
Philosophy may not enjoy the greatest of reputations when it comes to potential majors, but nevertheless, the subject holds great appeal to worldly types who find its interdisciplinary nature totally tantalizing. After all, the arts, sciences, politics, economics, and pretty much every other degree plan out there crosses over with the ancient subject at some point. So those studying philosophy should stand proud of their choice to pursue such a broad, eclectic field! But they should probably realize just how much reading it's going to involve. Like, English major levels. And the following will likely find their way into the curriculum at some point:

The 50 Best Blogs for Future Leaders
1 / 0
http://www.onlinecolleges.net/2011/12/19/50-blogs-future-lea...
The old adage purports that the best leaders come hurtling headfirst into the world instead of eventually learning the necessary skill sets. Maybe. Maybe not. Even the natural-born mobilizers and motivators out there could benefit from a few shots of nurture to get the ol’ noggin a-flooded with ideas. Whether prepping themselves for the soapbox or boardroom, these future leaders need to educate themselves about the world and how to best sharpen the personal tools needed for lasting success and influence. Surprise, surprise: the Internet abides.Because no leader — political, social, business or other field — can sustainably operate in a vacuum. Current events impact so many sectors, it’s integral to stay on top of them and react accordingly.
