iPhones vs. Android
In the event that one is thinking about purchasing the first cell phone, they presumably heard the words “Android” and “iPhone.” They may even have companions and relatives endeavoring to persuade you regarding the best between the two. Except if one as of now comprehends the cell phone showcase, they most likely have questions. For example, is the iPhone an Android telephone? The short answer is no; the iPhone is not an Android telephone (or the other way around). While they are both cell phones — that is, telephones that can run applications and interface with the Internet, and additionally make calls — iPhone and Android are particular things, and they are not perfect with one another. Android and iPhone are isolated brands, comparative instruments that do comparative things, yet they are not the equivalent. For instance, a Ford and a Subaru are the two autos, yet they are not a similar vehicle. A Mac and a PC are the two PCs and can do the vast majority of similar things, yet they’re not indistinguishable. The equivalent is valid for iPhone and Android. They are both cell phones and can, for the most part, do similar things. However, they are not indistinguishable. There are four keys territories that separate the iPhone and Android telephones.
Producers
Another significant differentiator among iPhone and Android is the organizations that make them CITATION Sim18 l 1033 (Hill). The iPhone is just made by Apple, while Android isn’t fixing to a solitary maker. Google builds up the Android OS and licenses it to organizations that need to move Android gadgets, for example, Motorola, HTC, and Samsung. Google even makes its very own Android telephone, called the Google Pixel. Consider Android resembling Windows: the product is made by a solitary organization. However, it is sold on equipment from a lot of organizations. The iPhone resembles the macOS: it is made by Apple and just keeps running on Apple gadgets.
Which of these alternatives you lean toward relies upon a ton of things. Numerous individuals lean toward the iPhone on the grounds that its equipment and working framework are both made by Apple CITATION Sam18 l 1033 (Costello). This implies they will be all the more firmly coordinated and convey a cleaned understanding. Android fans, then again, incline toward the adaptability that accompanies a working framework that keeps running on equipment from various organizations.
Applications
The two iOS and Android run applications, though their applications are not compatible with each other. The equivalent application might be accessible for the two gadgets. However, you require the rendition intended for your working framework for it to work. Android aggregate number of accessible applications is higher than the number iPhones can access, yet numbers are not of much significance here. As per a few reports, many thousands of applications in Google’s application store (called Google Play) are malware, accomplish an option that is other than they say they do or are low-quality duplicates of different applications CITATION Sam18 l 1033 (Costello). It is likewise essential to realize that some helpful, top notch applications just work on the iPhone.
As a rule, iPhone proprietors spend more on applications, have higher in general salary, and are seen as increasingly alluring clients by numerous organizations. At the point when designers need to pick between contributing the exertion, time, and cash to make an application for both iPhone and Android, or just iPhone, some pick iPhone as it were. Supporting equipment from only one producer makes advancement less demanding, as well CITATION Sim18 l 1033 (Hill). At times, designers discharge iPhone forms of their applications first and after that Android variants weeks, months, or even years after the fact. Once in a while, they do not discharge Android forms by any means, yet this is less and less normal.
Security
As mobile phones are turning to become basic needs in our lives, their security is progressively critical. These two phones are completely different when compared between this front. Android is intended to be increasingly interoperable and accessible on more gadgets. The disadvantage of this is it makes its security weaker. A few investigations have discovered that as much as 97% of the infections and other malware focusing on cell phones assault Android. The measure of malware that assaults iPhone is so little as to be unmeasurable (the other 3% in that review target stages other than Android and iPhone). Apple’s tight control of its stage and some savvy choices in structuring the iOS make iPhone by a wide margin the most secure portable stage.
A straight correlation of the most recent variants of Android and iOS wouldn’t be exceptionally illustrative of a great many people’s involvement, on the grounds that most Android gadgets are not running the most recent adaptation. The experience you get is additionally convoluted by the way that most Android cell phone producers include their own UI best of Google’s stock Android. Thus, there is a significant huge contrast between utilizing Google’s Pixel 2, the Samsung Galaxy S9, and the LG G7 ThinQ, for instance CITATION Sam18 l 1033 (Costello). On the off chance that one does choose to run with an Android gadget, they ought to complete a little research and take a gander at the form of Android it runs, the maker skin to finish everything, and the producer’s record for programming refreshes.
Eventually, extraordinary classifications will be critical to various individuals, so you should focus on the ones that mean you and settle on your choice dependent on that. On the off chance that security and protection are an essential factor, the iPhone is the conspicuous decision. In the event that battery life is best of your rundown and you need to have the capacity to redo your telephone, at that point pick Android. Both Android and iOS are developed, highlight stuffed stages with unmistakably a larger number of likenesses than contrasts, and both of them can be suggested.

The Different School Models
Different schools have different ways of improving the potential of their students and ensuring proper comprehension of the curriculum. The effectiveness of the administered methods determines the level of performance of the individual students and that of the school as well. This, as a result, leads to varying school models. In this paper I will highlight the major differences between school models of publicly owned and privately owned institutions basing the facts on the interviews I conducted on the teachers of Burlington Christian Academy (a privately owned school) and Graham High School (a publicly owned school). Both schools are located in North Carolina.
Graham High School has a student enrollment of about 830 and 64 teachers. This means that the student-to-teacher ratio is 13:1. On the other hand Burlington Christian Academy has a student enrolment of 600 and 15 teachers making the student-to-teacher ratio to be 1:15. The first school has a lower student-to-teacher ratio regardless of the fact that it is a public school and the second school is privately owned.
The most important issue that Graham High School currently faces in ensuring that students meet their potential is school drop outs. There has been an increasing number of drop out cases in this school from last year’s figures of up to about 20%. This is alarming as the students who drop out of school end up not achieving their academic goals. Burlington Christian Academy’s success on the other hand is hindered by the irregular class attendance of the students. In some cases, even parents have been observed to help their children in skipping classes by calling to falsely inform the school that their child is sick. This hinders effective curriculum coverage as those students who don’t report to school won’t learn the new concepts taught while they were away.
The issue of school dropout is being addressed by encouraging the parents and students to be more engaged in the curriculum. For cases of inadequate finances to finance the students, scholarships are awarded to bright but needy students. The weak students are also provided with additional support through the remedial classes so that their areas of weaknesses can be addressed and transformed into strengths. For the poor class attendants, their parents are made aware of this vice and advised to encourage their children to form a positive attitude towards school. The curriculum is also to be filled with fun activities and co-curriculum activities also emphasized among the students.
Technology, in both schools, is used to improve the quality of teaching in the classes. PowerPoint presentations are used to create a visual of what is being taught. E-libraries are used to make the curriculum books readily available especially for research purposes. In literature classes, movies or plays about novels can be watched during class time to enhance comprehension of the plot. Emails are also used to deliver assignments and plagiarism software helps the teacher ensure that the work delivered is original and not a copy of someone else’s work.
Both the teachers who I interviewed agreed on the fact that mathematics was the subject that the students needed the most support in mastering. Most students are weak in this subject area and while others have the potential to excel in it, they have formed a negative attitude either towards the subject or their teachers that limit their chances of performing well in this subject. They agreed that the negative attitude should be corrected and more practice of test assignments to be done as well.
The changes in teaching, according to the Burlington Christian Academy’s teacher were that nowadays technology has greatly affected the student’s ability to learn and the teacher’s ability to teach the students. More use of technology results in better understanding among the students she said. This was not the case in the past. According to the Graham High school teacher, the changes in teaching that he noted were that girls have increasingly been better at mathematics and that more of them are usually able to grasp the subject better than the boys. They however both agreed that the most important skill to be taught was self-discipline. This would greatly affect the success of any student.
Another thing they agreed on was that the teaching in their classrooms involved both the teachers and students and was not in the form of a lecture where the students would sit and wait for the teacher to speak. It involved the exchange of ideas between the two parties whereby corrections were made and additional information given to either of the parties. Students play an important role in the teaching and learning process. They act as litmus paper as they are the test for whether or not learning has taken place and with which quality it took place. Teachers also play an important role. They supervise and act as team leaders during the teaching and learning process. For the process to succeed both stakeholders must work hand in hand.
Problem solving, learning, creativity, decision making and critical thinking were listed by both teachers as 21st century skills. According to the Graham High school teacher, the major issue the school faced was lack of adequate counselors to guide the students on the right paths during social and ethical dilemmas. Another issue was inadequate funds to support the co-curriculum activities thus no emphasis was put in talent development. According to the Burlington Christian Academy’s teacher, the major issue faced in the school was the school bus services. Parents complained that the buses picked the children too early and therefore most of them could not make it to the bus stops in time.

Slaveholding as a Perversion of Christianity
This topic interests me most in that slavery is seen as an acceptable act by Christians, showing some point of hypocrisy in it. In the bible, slavery is not condoned at all and actually existed in those times and was considered as a voluntary servant hood. Douglass in his book gives a clear difference between the true and false Christianity. He refers the false Christians as the ‘Christianity of the land’ who fulfilled their desires of brutality, a sign of hypocrisy all along. According to Douglass, slavery was part and parcel of the Christianity doctrine. This is evident through his description of how the white southerners, who were the most active in religious tasks, were the ones who treated the slaves in the worst manner possible. They used words in the scriptures to justify their wrong doing, for example, Thomas Auld who beat up a crippled man in defence that the word says ‘he that knows his master’s will and does not abide to it, shall be beaten with many stripes. This form of hypocrisy causes a lot of damage to the masters as this contradicts their own abilities of differentiating right from wrong. Douglass is a true believer as he says he loves pure and peaceful Christianity and hates the corrupt and hypocritical Christians.
Literature Review
According to David Goldensberg in his article ‘The curse of Ham: race and slavery in early Judaism, Christianity, and Islam’ he discovered that racist behaviours and attitudes are the ones that mainly contributed to slave activities many years ago before the Europeans discovered the sub-Saharan in Africa. He describes how black Africans were viewed in the bible as slaves by the interpreters of the bible who were mainly the Jews, Christians and Muslims. In his research, he reveals about race, color, and slavery that was revolving all over the centuries saying that the Africans had been cursed by God into total slavery. He moves further into investigating blacks as color and the attitudes the Jews had towards the dark skin color. He asks when the blacks became slaves in North East and to his discovery is that all this was from the influence of Jewish, Christian and Islamic thinking and was treated as a passage in the bible. He states that the Curse of Ham had the greater impact on developing the roots to the slavery and racism in his study.
According to Travis Glasson in his article ‘Mastering Anglicanism and Slavery in the Atlantic World’ he explains how the Anglican Church which was in a mission, tried its best in 1701 to convert slaves to Christianity from the British colonies. The missionaries advocated for better treatment of the slaves but only a few embraced Anglicanism and many ended up rejecting conversion to Christians. Through their efforts to reduce the cruelty in slavery, it came to their disappointment that slavery and Christianity at the time were going hard to hard and was a mutual benefit in between. The society on seeing that slavery was becoming a trouble, they came up with stronger colonial codes for the slaves and continued embracing slavery as a tool among the missionaries. The Society worked together with the English slave traders in Africa, in building a mission at the castle in Cape Coast. They helped come up with a foundation for the black Protestants but this did not go well due to negative attitude of the people. The Society provided support morally and politically to the slaves in the British empires. In this article, Travis has a perspective that was unique in developing a pro-slavery idea, revealing how thinking of the English Christians contributed to more slavery.
An article by Michael Hoberman’ God Loves the Hebrews’: Exodus Typologies, Jewish Slaveholding and Black Peoplehood in Antebellum America’ talks about Judah Benjamin who was an American legislator and a statesman and Senator Benjamin who lead attack at the time. Jewish were into slavery and they tried to justify this through bible scripture derived by the Americans. He explained how the bible was no more of a record of the past events but composed of theological ideas and when Christians showed concern, Hebrew bible was there to give them a range of more typologies. Those who lived outside of Anglo-protestant fold they never came to endorse these typologies. Benjamin on reading the Hebrews bible, there was a range of other African American readings of the same text which had sets of ethnic with specified implications. As Henry Highland addressed on antislavery, the blacks who were enslaved knew that they no other way of survival other than to articulate with the rules in place.
An article by the Havard Gazette, on Slavery alongside Christianity, talks of how in the first centuries slavery was justified even through the bible. It states that relationship between Christianity and slavery was not easy as it affected more than just the church. Several author books are analysed and there are works of authors who used biblical texts to justify their positions in engaging in slavery and some showed that there were in deed good Christians who actually helped the slaves. There an author by the name Angelina who advocated for anti-slavery and campaigned for equality of slaves and the women. There is also Josiah Priest’s work that encouraged more slavery and his defence was from the book of Genesis, saying that the black people were meant to be slaves.
According to Virgil Peterson et al. in their article-Slavery in Religion in the South- they say that the people who owned the slaves had a lot of justifications as to why they were carrying out the slavery act. In case, anyone tried to disagree with their business of holding people captives, they always found new ways dispute. Religion was used both in slavery and anti-slavery acts and was greatly supported by in the Old and New Testament. The slaveholders, were in beliefs that slavery would reduce the savagery in the black race and that would control the people who were into sin and evil-hearted. This article talks about how slave owners in the 1830’s started allowing the slaves to attend church while being accompanied and allowed to form gatherings. Further says that some justified slavery with Jesus in that he did not question it during his time neither did Jesus refer to it as a sin.
