单选题It has been argued that where schools become bureaucratized, they become bound up with the techniques and implementation of the managerial process, and may concentrate on concern with position and self-advancement. In so doing, they may neglect the purpose for which they were set up.
Thus, they do not facilitate the development of those who are part of the school community, and tend to neglect the desires of children,parents and society at large.
It is because of such criticisms that there has been an increasing influence in political rhetoric and legislation of free-market theories of organization and society. Such theories suggest that a much more market-oriented, competitive approach is required so that schools reorient themselves towards their "clients". By so doing, it is claimed, not only do they once again address the needs of those with whom they should be primarily concerned, but such an approach also unleashes the benefits of individual responsibility, freedom of choice,and reward.
Though much of this sounds attractive, it has its roots as much in an economic body of thought as in social and political theory, and this must raise the question of whether it can be viably transferred to an educational context. Indeed, if by "educational" we mean the development of all within the school community, then free-market theory may miss the mark by concentrating on only one section, "the consumers". If teachers are seen as part of this community, then their development is just as important.
If bureaucratic forms of management face the problem of explaining how their values can be objective when they are in fact the product of a particular value orientation, the forms of management derived from free-market theories, suggesting an openness to the adoption of different sets of values, are subject to the charge of relativism. In other words, free-market theories, granted that they are arguing that individuals should be allowed to pursue their own ends, must explain why any set of values, including their own, is preferable to another.

An investigation of the circulation of
blood in the eyes of diver has produced the strongest evidence that tissue
damage caused by diving is more common and more severe than had been previously
thought. Of the 26 professional divers studied, all had abnormal retinas. None
of the divers taking part in the study had visual problems as a result of their
damaged retinas but Alan Bird of Moorfields Eye Hospital in London said that he
"would not be surprised to find divers whose damage has progressed far enough to
affect their vision". Evidence has mounted during recent years
to show that exposure to pressure during diving subtly damages the central
nervous system. Doctors believe that the damage is due to obstruction in the
flow of blood through the tissues. People who take up diving as a sport know
they are at risk of getting "the bends" or an air embolism, but if they follow
the correct procedures, the risk is very low. All professional divers know they
also run the risk of bone necrosis. About 5 per cent of them develop small dead
patches in their bones. Active professional divers have their thighs and upper
arms X-rayed as part of their annual medical examination.
Doctors have been concerned diving-caused dead patches to appear on bones;
other tissues may be suffering a similar fate. Their concern increased in the
early 1950s. Detailed neurological examinations and tests of the memory and
reactions of experienced professional divers suggested that some of them might
have slight damage to the brain and spinal cord. In order to determine the size
of the problem, the researchers needed a method of looking for the damage in a
large sample of divers that did not involve surgery. The damage which occurs in
the tissue of both the bones and the nerves of divers is similar. Damages of the
retina which doctors can see using the technique are known as retinal
angiography. The process involves injecting fluorocein dye into the blood stream
and photographing the back of the eye through the pupil. The technique can
provide a detailed photograph of the two vascular systems supplying blood to
their retina without causing too much discomfort to the patient.
The researchers suggested three mechanisms to explain how diving causes
this obstruction. When divers come back to the surface, air bubbles sometimes
form in their lungs. Bubbles forming in the lungs trigger changes in the body's
clotting mechanism which could result in minute clots. The researchers hope that
clues to the cause of the obstruction will come from investigations into the
individual differences between divers. Some of the divers studied had relatively
little damage even though they had been diving for many years and done a great
deal of deep diving. On the other hand, a few inexperienced divers had quite
extensive damage.

Justice in society must include both a
fair trial to the accused and the selection of an appropriate punishment for
those proven guilty. Because justice is regarded as one form of equality,
we find in its earlier expressions the idea of a punishment equal to the crime.
Recorded in the Old Testament is the expression "an eye for an eye, and a tooth
for a tooth." That is, the individual who has done wrong has committed an
offence against society. To make up for his offence, society must get even. This
can be done only by doing an equal injury to him. This conception of retributive
justice is reflected in many parts of the legal documents and procedures of
modern times. It is illustrated when we demand the death penalty for a person
who has committed murder. This philosophy of punishment was supported by the
German idealist Hegel. He believed that society owed it to the criminal to give
a punishment equal to the crime he had committed. The criminal had by his own
actions denied his true self and it is necessary to do something that will
counteract this denial and restore the self that has been denied. To the
murderer nothing less than giving up his own will pay his debt. The demand of
the death penalty is a right the state owes the criminal and it should not deny
him his due. Modern jurists have tried to replace retributive
justice with the notion of corrective justice. The aim of the latter is not to
abandon the concept of equality but to find a more adequate way to express it.
It tries to preserve the idea of equal opportunity for each individual to
realize the best that is in him. The criminal is regarded as being socially ill
and in need of treatment that will enable him to become a normal member of
society. Before a treatment can be administered, the cause of his antisocial
behavior must be found. If the cause can be removed, provisions must be made to
have this done. Only those criminals who are incurable should be permanently
separated front the rest of the society. This does not mean that criminals will
escape punishment or be quickly returned to take up careers of crime. It means
that justice is to heal the individual, not simply to get even with him. If
severe punishments is the only adequate means for accompanying this, it should
be administered. However, the individual should be given every opportunity to
assume a normal place in society. His conviction of crime must not deprive him
of the opportunity to make his way in the society of which he is a
part.
