Essay On Manners Make the Man

Essay On Manners Maketh Man.In the 14th century, William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, founded two great educational institutions -- New College, Oxford, and the great public school at Winchester. He gave to both the same motto: "manners maketh Man". In those days the word -manners" did not mean mere outward behaviour, as it doesthing that really matters in life was character.

mainly as moral training. In other words, he recognized that the only education as the mere getting of knowledge and mental training, but sound moral principles that makes a man. So he did not regard
now, but what we should call good conduct or morality. By his motto the wise Bishop meant that it is good moral conduct based on This begins so, moral education is all important. From their earliest years children must be taught the difference between right and wrong, and trained to love and follow what is right and hate and avoid what is wrong.

Such training means the formation of character on right lines. Its object is to bring children up in such a way that they will grow up to be truth-loving, honest, brave, pure-minded and unselfish men and women.
The home is the best school for moral education. Schoolmasters cannot get into such close touch with their pupils as can parents with their own children. Nor can they appeal to their love and affection as good fathers and mothers can. Moreover, moral education has to begin in the earliest years of the child, long before he can go to school. And these early years are the most important.

As a Roman Catholic Cardinal once said: "Give us the children up to seven years old, and you can have them the rest of their lives."

The methods of moral training are teaching, example and punishment. The child must be taught what is right by moral lessons, advice, warning; and he must be shown what is right by good example. So there is a great responsibility laid upon parents to live a good life before their children; for, example is better than precept. Only when teaching and example fail should punishment be resorted to; but it has it place in moral training.



At the same time, kindness, understanding and tact will often do more than punishment in keeping a boy straight. Sincere religion, too, is a great aid to morality; for one who had learnt to love and obey the good God wants to do right and the good. True religion was finely summed up by an ancient Hebrew prophet: "What doth the LORD require of the but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"

Essay On Union Is Strength

Essay On Union Is Strength.One of Aesop's Fables tells a story of an old man who was troubled because his sons were always quarreling. He was afraid that the family would be quite broken up when he died. So one day he called his sons together, and showed them a bundle of sticks, and asked them to break them for him. They tired in turn, but thoughthey were strong, all of them failed. Then he untied the bundle and told them to break each stick by itself. This they did easily. In this way he taught them that union is strength. If they held together as one family, they would be strong; but if they quarreled and separated, they would be weak.

Take a football or hockey team. If the members of the team play together and help each other, they will form a strong team. But if they are split up into parties, when they play in a match some will play badly or lazily, because they are jealous of the others, and the team will lose the match.

Sometimes a school or a college is spoilt because the members of the staff, or the committee, are divided; and while they are quarreling, the work is neglected, and the college or school goes down. Often a whole town suffers, because those looking after the streets, buildings, hospitals, and water-supply, spend their time in calling each other names.

The same is true in war. A large army, whose officers hate each other and do not work together, has been beaten by a smaller united army. That is why the great French general, Napoleon, used to say, 'Divide and Conquer. "He own some of his great victories by attacking one of his enemies when alone before the others could come up to help, or he would weaken a whole nation by dividing it up into quarreling parties.
A united nation, a united family, a united society of any kind, is strong. United they stand, divided they fall. Their motto must be, One heart, one way."



The same is true is every field. If all the Muslims in the world are united, they are bound to make progress. They can also become a super power by unity. Muslims all over the world only need unity.

Essay On Two Sides To Every Question

Essay On There Are Two Sides To Every Question.There is a story told in verse about that curious kind of lizard called the chameleon. Two friends talking about it almost quarreled about its colour, one saying it was blue and the other swearing it was green. While they were arguing, a third man joined them and he said they were both wrong. He had caught a chameleon the night before, and it was black. All three went to see it; but when its captor took it out of the box where he had put it, lo! and behold it was not blue, or green, or black, but white!

• The explanation, of course, was that a chameleon has the stranger power of changing its colour to suit its surroundings. So at one time it may appear blue, at another green, at another black, and at another white. So all were right, and at the same time wrong.

In the same way truth is many-side and different people see different sides. so every question has at least two sides. Narrow- minded people can see only one side; and it take a broad-minded man to see both.
Consider the different ways in which different people will look at a social problem, say poverty. Some will say that poverty is entirely due to laziness, thriftlessness or strong drink. Let the poor work and save and keep sober, and there will be no more poverty.

 Other people will point out that idleness, thriftlessness and drunkenness are themselves the result of poverty -- the wretched circumstances in which the poor are brought up. So one party says. change the man and he will change his surroundings and the other says, change the surroundings and you will change the man. And then they quarrel and fight. Yet both are right; each sees one side of the question, but only one. A wise and broad-minded reformer will see both, and work both for the individual and for social reform.

Or, take politics. In most democratic countries there are two great parties, which correspond to the Conservatives and Liberals or Progressives in England. The Conservative wants to keep ("conserve") things as they are, fearing that any change will do more harm than good; the Liberal stands for reform, change and progress.



Now both are in a way right. Because no social organisation is perfect, we must reform abuses, adopt better methods, and progress to better things. But it has often happened (as in the French Revolution) that, if people are in too great a hurry to make progress. they destroy many good institutions with the bad, and even wreck the whole constitution. But narrow-minded politicians of different views do not see this; and so, each seeing only his side of they question, the fight. A real statesman sees both.
