Traditionally, someone who is intelligent is defined as an individual who can solve problems, use logic to answer questions, and think critically. However, psychologist Howard Gardner has created a much broader definition of intelligence.

Demonstrate an understanding of intelligence and learning in the framework of Gardner by comparing and contrasting the traditional definition of intelligence (IQ) with multiple intelligences. Thinking critically about these difference, comment on how Gardner’s ideas might change the way some assess a person’s strengths and weaknesses. Do these ideas significantly affect this type of evaluation? Apply the principles of multiple intelligences (MI) to the following questions: 300 words

If you were to assign one of the multiple intelligences to yourself, what would it be, and why?

Which of the MIs do you think are most valued by schools and society? Why?

On what evidence, including personal experiences, do you base your opinions?

If work environments recognized multiple intelligences, how might training, counseling, or classroom activities be revised to address these principles?

How might an understanding of multiple intelligences change the ways in which you view your own abilities? Why, or why not?

But during the decline of the empire local authority was not able to cope with the conflicts resulted from invasion from barbarians in the destruction of the government. The authority of the local bishop was put in a position to take the place of secular government, in part because the church attracted qualified able men than the Roman provincial government. The best men were working for the church, not for the state. Momigliano has stated “much to be said about the internal conflict, the Worldly ambitions, the intolerance of the church.” “Yet the conclusion we made that while the political organization of the empire became increasingly unimaginative and unsuccessful, the church was mobile and resilient and provide a space for those whom the state was unable to absorbed.” The bishop was also in the position to be the head leadership of an large voluntary organization. Through the church the bishops was able to be charitable to the masses by distributing goods to the poor. They defended their flock against
