The system of selective college admissions, for the most part, is based on tests geared to favor US middle- and upper middle class students, not students of the working class, or of different cultures, who may not have had comparable opportunities (Sternberg, 2004).
A powerful sultan in the Ottoman Empire was Mehmet II also known as Mehmed the Conqueror. He ended the Byzantine Empire and conquered Constantinople (which was then the capital of the Ottoman Empire). Mehmed is still considered a highly influential and inspirational figure in modern-day Turkey and many sites around the country are named after him.
Sultan Mehmed II is considered one of the most famous Ottoman sultans. Sultan (/ËsÊltÉn/ ; Arabic: Ø³ÙØ·Ø§Ù â sulá¹­Än, [sÊlËtË¤ÉËn, solËtË¤ÉËn]) is a noble title with several historical meanings. They enjoyed these titles for life, even after the Royal Rescript regulating the styles and titles of the Royal House following Egypt's independence in 1922, when the sons and daughters of the newly styled king (malik Misr, considered a promotion) were granted the title Sahib(at) us-Sumuw al-Malaki, or Royal Highness.
