Outcomes-based education in the light of modernity and postmodemity Western civilization is in the midst of a paradigm shift from the modem era with its technical rationality to the postmodern era with its eclectic and pluralistic perspective.

Upon conviction, all of a person's land and property -real or personal -were forfeited to the Crown. This resulted in the corruption of blood, with the * LLD student,
