Preoperational ego-centrism is a concept in Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, where children have difficulty taking on perspectives other than their own. They tend to believe that everyone sees the world as they do, leading to difficulty understanding different viewpoints. This egocentrism typically occurs in children between the ages of 2 and 7 years old.

Jean Piaget is a developmental psychologist. He theorized that there are four stages of childhood, and also dealt with centrism of young children.

The theory of heliocentrism, which states that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun, was proposed by the ancient Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos. However, it was popularized and further developed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century.

State-centrism is the belief that the state plays a central and dominant role in society, often prioritizing state interests over individual or community interests. This ideology emphasizes the importance of a strong and powerful state to maintain order and regulate various aspects of society. It can lead to centralized decision-making and potentially limit individual freedoms in favor of state control.

Translation: Atasharref betamthil (أتشرف بتمثيل)
It means "I am honored to represent...[a nation or organization or group]."
If you want to use the word "proud" specifically, replace "Atasharref" with "Afkhur" (أفخر). However, Afkhur in Arabic carries the negative connotation of pride (i.e. ego-centrism), which is why I would recommend the "Atasharref" version.

Copernicus was the first person to show that the assumption of a helio-centric solar system made calculations of planetary orbits far simpler to understand, and held to the idea for decades. Aristarchus did propose our Sun as the center, but his ideas were roundly rejected by other Greeks. A few Arab astronomers toyed with the idea, but each ended up abandoning helio-centrism.

The concept of geocentrism, which posits that the Earth is the center of the universe with celestial bodies orbiting around it, was widely held by ancient astronomers and philosophers such as Aristotle and Ptolemy. However, it was the Greek philosopher Claudius Ptolemy who developed the most influential geocentric model of the universe in his work "Almagest" in the 2nd century CE.

In the 19th century, the British who controlled Canada believed the natives were an inferior race that has to be forced to evolve according to European standards. They took native children from families and forced them to adapt to the British culture in Canada. The natives were also forced off their land into reservations where they were forced to learn english and adopt Christian religion. The euro centrism of the British made them act as if they were helping improve a primitive race, whereas they were in fact destroying their traditional culture, lifestyle, language and religion.

The reason why Ptolemy was able to win the world over to his Geocentric viewpoint was because he was able to algebraically prove geo-centrism through the implementation of epi-cycles. T
On the other hand, Johannes Kepler, after analysing Tycho Brahe's observations, constructed his three laws in 1609 and 1619, based on a heliocentric view where the planets moves in elliptical paths. Using these laws, he was the first astronomer to successfully predict a transit of Venus for the year 1631.

Absolutely not. Trotsky was a Bolshevik. The degree to which early Bolshevism was democratic or authoritarian is debated among scholars, but the Bolsheviks under Lenin followed a policy called "democratic centrism," in which debate was confined to the party and then the government leadership, once a decision was made, presented a unified front to the public. This policy created a plethora of problems, and may have played a role in Trotsky's own oustre from the Politburo.
As for Trotskys own views, many were dramatically democratic. He went so far as to advocate the abolition of rank and the democratic making of decisions within the armed forces. He was wildly popular within the Petersburg Soviet, which was the dominant partner in a dual power relationship with the Kerenski government which was the nominal leader of Russia after the February (1917) Revolution.
See Trotsky's "The Revolution Betrayed" and Isaac Deutscher's "The Prophet Armed" for more of Trotsky's views.

Supreme Court justices aren't classified by political party, but by ideology (variations on conservatism, centrism, and liberalism).
Presidents try to nominate justices whom they believe will represent their views and extend their power and influence beyond their term(s) of office. George W. Bush nominated Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito, both right-oriented men who help form the conservative bloc of the Supreme Court developed during the Reagan-Bush era.
It's not necessarily possible to infer a Supreme Court justice's ideology according to the nominating President's political party, however. Justice Souter, who retired in June 2009, was socially progressive, despite being nominated by President George HW Bush. Justice Stevens is also liberal, although he was nominated by President Gerald Ford, a moderate Republican.
The United States' newest Supreme Court justice, Sonia Sotomayor, was nominated by Democratic President Barack Obama, but considers herself an independent (the American Bar Association indicates her record of jurisprudence tends toward centrism).
Perhaps most extreme modern examples of ideological mismatch occurred between President Eisenhower, a conservative, and his choice of Chief Justice, Earl Warren, a progressive who was instrumental in advancing civil rights and individual liberties. In fact, of Eisenhower's five Supreme Court appointments, three (Earl Warren, William Brennan, and Potter Stewart) were consistently liberal; one (Charles Evans Whittaker) was a centrist; and one (John Marshall Harlan II) was an intellectual conservative who supported desegregation.
Eisenhower's appointments had the unintended effect of tipping the Supreme Court from conservative to liberal, and may be the reason the Senate Judiciary Committee began screening nominees more thoroughly (Harlan wasn't the first candidate to endure a Senate Judiciary hearing, but his confirmation marked an era of increased Senate scrutiny).
For more information about the current Supreme Court justices' ideological patterns, see Related Questions, below.

If there is no biographical information available that specifies the justice's party affiliation (and there often isn't), one clue would be identifying which President nominated him or her. The President typically chooses someone with an ideology compatible with his own, because that is the only influence the Executive branch can exercise over the Judicial branch - placing people who will evaluate the Constitution from a liberal, conservative, or centrist perspective.
This is not a foolproof method of evaluation, however. The most recent justice appointed to the Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor, was nominated by the Democratic President Obama, but is, herself, an Independent with a judicial history of centrism.
Unfortunately, matching a justice to a party doesn't necessarily tell you how that person will vote on a particular issue. Some justices change their personal ideology or jurisprudence over the years, often becoming more progressive the longer they are on the bench; and some justices may vote against their personal ideology if their personal beliefs conflict with a reasonable interpretation of the Constitution. This has been a source of frustration and dismay for some Republican Presidents.

The Cognitive Theory of Development was created by Piaget.
There are four stages:
Stage one: The Sensorimotor Stage (Age Birth-2 years)
This is where the individual plans in their mind how the world works, so they develop schema's. This is also the stage where they need to pass Object Permanence (even if you don't see the object, you know it still exists)
Then they move into the
Stage two: The Preoperational Stage (Age 2-7 years)
This is when the individual believes the "world revolves around them". In this stage is where Ego-centrism takes place, they also begin understanding others.
They then move into
stage three: The Concrete Operational Stage (Age 7-11 years)
In this stage individuals have mental representations, meaning the picturing of objects in their minds, decentration, which is understanding others, reversibility, which is doing things according to them and conservation which is the knowing the difference of same size same amount, different size different amount.
Then they move into
stage four: Formal Operations Stage (Age 11 - adulthood)
this stage includes Abstract reasoning meaning reciting things from memory and deductive reasoning, meaning making conclusions.

merits of multiparty· Though decision-making is cumbersome, involves time and is calculative, the decisions made under this system are more effective, and are generally accepted by people . · It's a more democratic form of system rather than the one party or two party system . · It allows a number of voices and demands within the country to enjoy political representation . · if there are multiple major parties, each with less than a majority of the vote, the parties are forced to work together to form working governments. This promotes a form of centrism. Demerits of multiparty With three or more parties, a party has a much more likely chance of being elected without holding the same beliefs of the majority of people. For example: In a three party system, if 60% of a population favors "viewpoint A" and there are two candidates who support "viewpoint A" it is likely that each will receive about 30% of the vote, with the remaining party receiving 40%. Here viewpoint A has got 60%(30,30%) of the votes yet the winner will actually be opposed to the majority i.e one with 40% votes.. u can ask anything else u require frnds(gaurav tyagi,Roorkee,India)

Imperialism is the policy by which one country takes control of the land of another region. The Age of Imperialism lasted from 1870 to 1914. The development of imperialism mirrors that of industrialization. This is because the two reflect growth and progress.
The US was more focused on competing for resources and new markets during this era. Concerns for the US were the economic situations of the Pacific and Caribbean, along with the strategic importances of these areas.
Imperialism was inevitable with the growth of industry. In need of materials, countries would take control of other lands. Ethno-centrism became a part of the European state of mind. They felt driven to impose European beliefs and ideas on the conquered territories. This was deemed the "White Man's Burden" by Rudyard Kipling, who was very much against this movement. India was very affected by Europe.
Europeans created a scramble for Africa and formed spheres of influence in China. Today, imperialism is much subtler, often in the form of foreign aid to create favorable relations between the two countries.
Many nations benefited from imperialistic practices in that they provided an opportunity to modernize. Much of the infrastructure, educational facilities, and hospitals in these countries were built by the imperialist nations controlling them. Along with the positive changes came negative. People were repressed and their cultures were left behind. Because of this, the nationalist movement was sparked. An example of this would be the peaceful revolution led by Gandhi.
Imperialistic practices led to global bitterness towards major countries. In time many of the weaker nations gained independence , and still today their is much resentment towards the former colonial powers. World War I was spawned by greed as nations competed for land and markets.

No. While Answers.com has as its mission to provide answers to questions, it is not designed to replace an individual's effort and skirt the requirements intended for homework. Essay writing is among such obligations. Answers.com does intend to provide answers to questions and the below is a description of the Muslim class system.
As concerns Muslim class systems in general, there is no caste system or birth-determined class in Islam (in contrast to Hinduism) and every Muslim is capable of the greatest and worst deeds.
As concerns racial issues, Islam was an Arabo-centric religion in its early centuries and this attitude was most clearly demonstrated by the Umayyad rulers in the 7th and 8th centuries. However, as Islamic Empires became Turkish, Berber, and Persian run, Islam became more multi-national. In the Modern Era, the ascent of the Arabian Peninsula, on account of petro-dollars has led to an increasing shift back to Arabo-centrism. This however, draws the ire of many non-Arab Muslims who feel delegitimized by these changes.
As concerns personal relationships, the Arab sheikhdoms were quite well defined with an elder man who was the Sheikh and controls the lives and fortunes of the men, women, and children in any particular tribe. In those tribes, men were valued above women and children. As Islam became a multi-national empire, a nobility emerged among those closest to the ruling authorities, but it was never as widespread as European nobility. In the Modern Islamic World, higher rank still belongs to those closest to the rulers and the rulers themselves, but this is not inherited in the same way as nobility, but similarly to wealth or any physical asset.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a condition in which a person is preoccupied with themselves. A man or woman with this disorder will react badly to criticism, take advantage of people, have excessive feelings of self-importance, exaggerate their achievements and talents, need constant attention, feel little empathy, and be obsessed with their selves.
To build a relationship with someone that is Narcissistic, one must first begin by avoiding any criticism and admiring things about that particular person. If you adore them, they will love you. This may be a one-sided relationship though so another way to help build a relationship would be to seek a therapist who could help your son build his skills when it comes to interacting with other people. He most likely cannot be cured of this disorder, but he can be "trained" to appropriately build relationships and "give" to that relationship.
Answer:First, be certain of the diagnosis. If your son has been diagnosed by a competent, licensed, degree holding mental health professional, then there is some sort of treatment that is being sought. Work with the professional who diagnosed him; this is the person who will know best how to help your son.Second, there is no second. Be certain of the diagnosis.
Many people grab on to these psychological terms and toss them around too freely. If your son is behaving in a way that you feel is narcissistic, perhaps the more correct term (provided he has not been diagnosed by a competent, licensed, degree holding mental health professional) would be ego-centric or selfishness. Ego-centrism is not an unusual situation for someone who is 12-25. Much after the age of 25, if the person displays ego-centric behavior, the person has been far too much and too often rewarded or benefited when it was not earned. We as parents are responsible for this, and it is the responsibility of parents of children who display this sense of entitlement to end the enabling that created it. It will not be pleasant, it will not be enjoyable, but correcting the wrongs of the past rarely are. However, the sooner it is done in a loving and patient way, the greater the benefit to the child.

In India , there are several national and state level parties. A recognized political party has been classified as a National Party or a State Party. National parties are those that are recognized in four or more states. They are accorded this status by the Election Commission of India, which periodically reviews the election results in various states. This recognition helps the political parties to claim certain unique ownership in the state until the next election review.he problem with the traditional plurality voting system is that any attempt to prevent a candidate from getting elected tends to result in a false positive vote, generally for a candidate thought to have an advantaged position over other candidates, thereby causing or increasing such advantageUnlike a single-party system (or a non-partisan democracy), it encourages the general constituency to form multiple distinct, officially recognized groups, generally called political parties. Each party competes for votes from the enfranchised constituents (those allowed to vote). A multi-party system prevents the leadership of a single party from controlling a single legislative chamber without challenge.

'Multilevel' within DPEP is also used to refer to a situation of teaching the range of so-called
'bright' to 'dull' children who are together in one class (in spite of all the child-centrist rhetoric,
these notions are intact). Here 'level' signifies the child's 'level of intelligence'. That such a notion
can coexist within the CMO child-centrism reconfirms the essentially rhetorical nature of the
latter, and the claim that multigrade/multilevel teaching is a factor in quality improvement does not
hold much water. The strategy has mostly been used in Alternative Schooling Programmes,
which are attempts to provide a semblance of education to poorer children. The learning ladder
strategies, which involve vertical grouping as a part of their design, seem to be more genuine
attempts to give children more independence in learning; but they could go farther in questioning
the idea of the grade itself.
The concept of grade involves: (a) breaking down the curriculum and packaging it into separate
chunks of learning, (b) allotting a fixed time to master the packaged curricular content, usually
one year, (c) testing, either at the end of the allotted time period or several times in between, but
calculating the total score to decide eligibility of the learner to be promoted to study the next
curricular chunk, and (d) failure, which involves repeating the whole chunk again for a year, with
no freedom either to repackage the curriculum in smaller chunks, or any flexibility in the learning
time allotted. Although the idea of grade gained widespread acceptance as a classroom
management-friendly idea, its pedagogical basis has not been very well established. Nor has the
DPEP engaged afresh with such ideas. We could have assumed that a child-centred orientation
would encourage questioning these untenable assumptions, but not so in the case of DPEP.
There seems to be no awareness that ideas such as freedom of pace of learning and continuous
evaluation are incompatible with the multigrade concept. The claim that multilevel/multigrade
contributes towards quality improvement appears to be making a virtue out of an ugly necessity,
with children from the lower strata of society having to bear the brunt of it.

There is no such thing as Eurocentrism. This concept was created by Afrocentrists to "legitimize" their revision of history. Europe became a reference point for the rest of the world because European explorers traveled the world, charting the seas, creating maps, etc. Why would someone from Italy who just mapped an island in Indonesia chart Indonesia at the center of the world? Map makers often used their own land as a reference point. Besides, most maps are not "Eurocentric". They place Israel at the center of the world. Industrialization, science and the arts all exploded by leaps and bounds in Europe. Civilization progressed. Civilization has changed very little in many African nations. People are still living in the bush and hunting with spears just like they did 500 years ago. This is not so in Europe. Though Europe spawned a new age of civilization I know of no one who believes that civilization began in Europe. I believe the one charateristic of "Centrism" is the claim of being the "cradle of civilization". The only ethnic group claiming this is Afrocentrism. Most people in Europe and America believe Mesopotamia is the cradle of civilization. The centrist concepts of the origin of mankind are African in nature and purely racist. ---- ----------------------- The above content was presented by another human, and I did not erase it and left it as is, to show that the reality of perception is such that even in our society of blatant Eurocentric media and as much, Eurocentric educational system, that there is easily a citizen who believes that "There is no such thing as Eurocentrism." The following is from thefreedictionary.com Noun 1. Eurocentrism - belief in the preeminence of Europe and the Europeans partisanship, partiality - an inclination to favor one group or view or opinion over alternatives Eu·ro·cen·tric (yr-sntrk) also Eu·ro·po·cen·tric (y-rp-) adj. Centered or focused on Europe or European peoples, especially in relation to historical or cultural influence: ____________________ I have to agree with the latter argument that eurocentricism does exist. From an International Relations perspective, eurocenticism is the idea that everything we do and understand is seen through the European persective. For example, development: the phenomenon started in a cushy office in the West and is based on the issues perceived by the West and pretty much ends there without any perspective or view point from the Third World. It is only now that people are beginning to question whether this is right or wrong and is the development ideas we have are appropriate.

According to a May 12, 2008, article in U.S. News & World Report, the Roberts Court is one of the most conservative since the Lochner era.
Judging by their voting records, five of the ten most conservative Justices (since 1937) are members of today's Court.
Clarence Thomas, a Republican nominated by George H. W. Bush in 1991, is considered the most conservative, with Antonin Scalia, a 1986 Reagan nominee, running a close second. Thomas has strong Libertarian leanings, supporting state's rights and taking an orthodox approach toward interpreting the Constitution. Scalia is considered an "originalist" in his thinking, meaning he considers the intention of those who framed and amended the Constitution in his interpretations.
In a 2005 address at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, in Washington DC, Scalia explains his position thus:
"I am one of a small number of judges, small number of anybody - judges, professors, lawyers - who are known as originalists. Our manner of interpreting the Constitution is to begin with the text, and to give that text the meaning that it bore when it was adopted by the people."
Chief Justice John G. Roberts is considered slightly less conservative than Scalia, followed closely by Samuel Alito. Anthony M. Kennedy, while ranked highly conservative, appears moderate in comparison to Thomas and Scalia.
Associate Justices John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor are considerered progressive.
Harold Spaeth, a political scientist at Michigan State University, created a database that allows him to rate the Justices' ideologies by voting patterns while on the bench.
The decision criteria he uses is rather broad. For example, if a Justice votes in favor of the defendant on a criminal case, that vote is automatically tallied as "liberal"; if a Justice votes against a plaintiff in a Civil Rights case, the vote is automatically tallied as "conservative." Voting records are assessed without case context, and do not reflect the Justices' reasoning in opinions rendered.
According to Spaeth, Justices tend to vote according to political ideology. The current Court leans toward conservatism. His data show when the ratio of conservatives to liberals increases, it creates an amplifier effect that results in individual conservative Justices voting even more conservatively. The liberal faction is able to exert less influence on the Court.
Oddly, the same pattern doesn't appear when liberals dominate the Court. Liberals tend to vote more ideologically when their numbers decline than when they increase.
Another factor that influences judicial opinion is which party dominates Congress. Conservatives tend more toward centrism when the number of GOP Senators drops.

Y'Miss Phathupats by Juan Crisostomo Soto
As Reviewed by Stephanie A. Claros
The story is satirical in nature, comic yet very graphic in its sharp parody of the colonialmentality of Filipinos.Yeyeng turned Miss Phathupats actually symbolizes what the Filipinos have become after ourhistory of colonization: a people, culture, and language waging a losing war against Westernacculturation.The tragic loss of native values and cultural heritage has been woefully lamented by manyhistorians and patriots to no great avail.
Literature like Y'Miss Phathupats calls
for a sweepingcultural revival but like many others, it has been relegated to the back shelves of libraries andbookshops swamped by foreign titles and novels. It takes time to impact and alter anotherculture like in the case of our country under a long history of imperialist influence and so itwould also take time to revive a fledgling Filipino culture.The story features a caricature of Filipino assimilation to Western culture, Miss Phathupats withher thick
kolorete
is a spoof character, a Pinay assuming the airs of American superiority bydisguising her brown skin under layers of whitening cream.The first cultural subtext is that of racial discrimination, that the white race is the mostdesirable and the colored races are lesser and inferior. Philippine ethnicity is made into anobject of shame and ridicule; that the flat nose, black kinky hair, brown skin and otherindigenous features are seen as a source of embarrassment.Another cultural subtext is the Westernization of Filipino values, habits, and lifestyle. TheFilipino people has been badly miseducated and colonial mentality has been so skillfullyingrained that it is second nature to regard everything that is of Western origin, be it food,clothing or any product as better and elite.Regional schism was also a subtext in the story with the obvious derision of the
Kapampangan
slang and its hard utterances. Even among the Filipino dialects, there is still the imposition of Manila-centrism and its dialect, the
Tagalog.
It is typical to make fun of the inflexible tongues of the
Kapampangan,
the
Bisaya
, etc. The flourishing of the "balbal" slang, "
Taglish
"
,
"
Bislish
"
, etc.
is a catastrophic omen to the death of an independent language. The "tsampurado" mix of
language is a dearth to Philippine literature and a major obstacle to the aspiration of a strongnational identity.
The tag Miss Phathupats that was named after the character's wide hips that was
forcibly fittedinto tight pants implied the social subtext of the stereotyped physical attributes of women. TheBarbie doll epitome of beauty forces women to be discontented with their bodies and todrastically alter their appearance in whatever way possible, be it the thick
kolorete
or the tightoutfits.The most powerful subtext of the story is the burgeoning hate for imperialism by Filipinos aswas shown in the mob-like ganging up on Miss Phathupats by the townsmen. The Philippinehistory of militancy against colonizers is captured by a line in
the story: "Paalam, Miss Alice roosevelts.

There are no scientific theories that religion can disprove, because science and religion are in different realms and rely on different assumptions about the world. The assumptions of science include the notion that proof requires evidence, while the assumptions of religion include the notion that faith is all the proof that is needed.
Stephen Jay Gould proposed the concept of Nonoverlapping Magisteria. He said that the domain or magisterium for science is the empirical realm - what the universe is made from and why it works the way it does. He said that the magisterium of religion includes the ultimate meaning and moral values. These magisteria are nonoverlapping - science does not comment on the ultimate meaning of life, while religion should not comment on the natural world.
AnswerReligion doesn't even attempt to disprove anything in science, at least if one is talking about Biblical Christianity. This is because where the Bible talks about matters relating to science it is as true as where it is talking about anything else, if correctly understood. In any case it is not the role of the Christian religion to disprove scientific theories.3 answers

Answer 1
All from the leader to the poorest are the same according to Islam. People are nonly judged according to their deeds and how close to Allah and His messenger's teachings.
No matter how rich you are or from what nationality, your deeds will decide your fate on the doomsday!
A Muslim will win inshallah. Some will be purified in hell for their sins but will end in Paradise.
Answer 2
As concerns Muslim class systems in general, there is no caste system or birth-determined class in Islam (in contrast to Hinduism) and every Muslim is capable of the greatest and worst deeds.
As concerns racial issues, Islam was an Arabo-centric religion in its early centuries and this attitude was most clearly demonstrated by the Umayyad rulers in the 7th and 8th centuries. However, as Islamic Empires became Turkish, Berber, and Persian run, Islam became more multi-national. In the Modern Era, the ascent of the Arabian Peninsula, on account of petro-dollars has led to an increasing shift back to Arabo-centrism. This however, draws the ire of many non-Arab Muslims who feel delegitimized by these changes.
As concerns personal relationships, the Arab sheikhdoms were quite well defined with an elder man who was the Sheikh and controls the lives and fortunes of the men, women, and children in any particular tribe. In those tribes, men were valued above women and children. As Islam became a multi-national empire, a nobility emerged among those closest to the ruling authorities, but it was never as widespread as European nobility. In the Modern Islamic World, higher rank still belongs to those closest to the rulers and the rulers themselves, but this is not inherited in the same way as nobility, but similarly to wealth or any physical asset.
