WAYS OF ELUCIDATING CONCEPTS

1. Definition- is a method of identifying a given term and making its meaning clearer.
Ex. Democracy is a form of government in which all eligible citizens participate equally in the proposal, development and creation of
laws.
Science is a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the
operation of general laws
2. Explication- a method of explanation in which sentences, verses, quotes or passages are taken away from a literary or
academic work and then interpreted and explained in a detailed way.
Ex.

3. Clarification- entails the analysis of the concept by looking at examples.

Exercises
Identify the way of elucidating text used in each item.
1. Language is the principal method of human communication, consisting of words used in a structured and conventional way
and conveyed by speech, writing, or gesture.
2. “Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream” — Malcolm Muggeridge
Malcolm is critically highlighting the fact that most of the time we are going with the flow and we call it a fate; but
how we can forget another known philosophy of life ? i.e “ You are the creator of your own destiny”
So if you are going with the flow then surely you are not creating or controlling your our destiny therefore you
cannot blame the flow with which your are swimming in you life.
3. “Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value” -Albert Einstein
There are some other areas of life than your personal achievements where to need to put your equal time and
effort to have a life balance. Materialistic achievements should not be the only measure of your success. Being a
valuable person for others is equally important.
4. The concept of education invites the question “Education for what?” What is the purpose of education? While the terms,
“aims”, “goals”, and “objectives” of education are sometimes used interchangeably, philosophers of education describe
three distinct activities related to “purpose”: Aims, Goals, Objectives = AGO (Noddings 2007).
This AGO framework can be a useful structure for analyzing education, from its most abstract goals to its most immediate
daily application. Moreover, if implemented properly, it would seem to reflect a useful dynamic from theory to practice.
Unfortunately, in reality, what often happens is that aims and goals are skipped over and objectives—daily blueprints, and
lesson plans—become the main preoccupation. Because of a multitude of exigencies, the thoughtful paradigm of aims,
goals, and objectives is often neglected at the expense of “getting through the day” in practice.
5. Merriam-Webster defines success as a "favorable or desired outcome". It can also be the "attainment of wealth, favor, or
eminence".
