Firefighters have what is considered to be as one the best jobs in the world. They are recognized as heroes, the community loves them, they save the precious lives of people, use powerful tools, and of course, they efficiently put out raging fires. Even their salaries are something to talk about. Also, firefighters normally receive pension, paid vacations, and medical insurance (“Benefits”). Indeed the benefits and perks of being a firefighter is a big selling point for the job. For these reasons, some eight years ago I had wanted to join this awesome group of men and women that ...

It was a beautiful Friday morning when I woke up and prepared myself for the day. I knew it was not just going to be an ordinary day for me and my classmates plus other students. That day we were to go for a demonstration demanding from the administration that all students should be awarded their rightful marks for a particular class that we had undertaken mid-semester last year. The results were finally out, but nobody was happy with the results from that class. The professor who taught that class was known to lose papers once students submitted them, ...

Introduction
When I first started university I was understandably nervous, and I had many thoughts running through my head. One of the prevalent thoughts was primarily focused on results. I wanted to do well, but I was aware of the challenges that lay before me. I was aware that my studies in higher education would not be easy.
In addition to this, I was aware that in order to achieve the best results, I would have to do get out of my comfort zone and work harder ...

If people did not talk to me, I neither spoke nor even throw them a glance. I would walk fast in order to avoid having conversations with anyone. Some even thought that there was something wrong with me. However, the truth of the matter is that I have always been a shy kid. Growing up, I played either by myself or with my siblings and cousins only. I seldom went out to play with the neighborhood kids, thus, they never really knew me as a person. Making friends was such an ordeal for me and class recitations at school felt like torture.

1.0 Introduction of a Developmental Issue
Hong Kong primary and secondary school students are under constant academic pressure since they have no spare time to relax leading to psychological stress. In fact, it is difficult to change the education system. Since the beginning of the school year to the present day, the number of Hong Kong students who committed suicide rose to the highest levels. According to most of the students, school workload is just a fuse with “no joy, no hope, and no help.”
There is a case that happened in a middle school in Hong Kong. The ...

IMPACT OF GENDER ON OCCUPATIONAL HISTORY

Introduction
There is an understanding that gender differences are highly influential when it comes to hiring and employment, most especially because there are jobs that are gender-specific, even though the other gender is not condemned from taking on those, particularly on an occupational basis. For that, one may think that it is better to be a female with specific characteristics when one is taking on a particular job, while another job may require workers to be male with distinct features as well. The nature of the work somewhat dictates gender requirements among jobs, but other occupations, particularly those that are ...

Culture is commonly defined as a composite, complex whole and this is signified in terms of art, belief, custom, knowledge, laws, morals, and any other capacities and ways which men acquire as members of society. I have been immersed into the American culture by way of travelling into Alabama as a foreign student. While this may sound strange, I chose the U.S. because it is a melting pot of various cultures. I know that other than exhibiting its own ways, it is also very much open to the other nations’ ways of lives.
In terms of value, I believe there is ...

I always looked forward to being a teenager. I imagined myself going to the mall, watching movies with my friends, or simply hanging out at each other's houses. At 13, I already mapped out my summer plans and the only thing left to do was for summer to arrive. However, as fate would have it, my grandfather suddenly passed away in May 2005. While grieving at his sudden loss, my parents decided to send me to the Philippines to study English. They thought that it was the best way for me to learn the English language. I was instantly aghast ...

Once, when I was in school, around the age of fourteen, I ended up in a conversation with a boy who had bullied me in the past. I am not sure why he brought the subject up, but he began asking me about my sexual experiences (at fourteen!!!), wanting to know more about them. We were surrounded by our classmates (though there was no teacher), and I was so embarrassed, I wanted the conversation to stop, I wanted him to go away, I wanted to get away. I think, as well as being embarrassed at the conversation as a ...

The movement from a certain state to another is known as a transition. The informal transitions are part of an individual’s daily life. An example of an informal transition is a movement from home to school or to work. In addition, the formal transitions are part of the individuals’ experiences. For example, a formal transition between institutions, a movement from home to a certain health institution. Another formal transition is the movement from early childhood education to school. Particularly, one of the major transitions is the transition from home to work or to school. The main reason of ...

Disruptive behaviors are conditions that can have a great influence in the teaching environment. Disruptive behaviors unswervingly hinder the ability of the teacher or the capability of a learner to benefit from their classroom experiences. Students attend schools with hopes of being productive citizens of society. I like to think of students as future leaders of tomorrow! For the most part, students attend school because it is the law. A learning environment should have actively engaged students, who are eager to participate and show knowledge is being acquired on a daily basis.
However, some students are bored and disengaged ...

Introduction

Though personality disorders are described by researchers as being widespread and incapacitating, there have been developments in the field, and they have focused on understanding this disorder with intent to treat (Lenzenweger, 2008). Settling on a comprehensive definition, assessment approaches and the management of these disorders has been problematic because of the varying dimensions and impacts to individuals and the general society (Clarkin, Lenzenweger & Meehan, 2015). According to Widiger (2003), individuals often have self-distinguishing approaches to creating and developing relationships, expressing their feelings and thinking. On the same, while some people are outgoing, others have been described as being ...

Admittedly, there is a correlation between the crime statistics and the frequency of or tendencies of the criminal behavior occurring at any given time and area. Usually, crime statistics is useful in forecasting future crimes, a situation that implies the relationship existing between the statistics and the trends in criminal behavior. From a theoretical perspective, the relationship between crime statistics and the frequency of a crime is based on the routine activities and the rational choice perspective. In essence, both of these principles imply that individuals are self-determining even as criminal activities are purposeful. Substantially, this theoretical constructs mean that offenders or those ...

Love, care and good perception by other people is all what makes an individual happy. However in life there comes situation when the people close to you such as peers, family members act in manner that you feel disowned or mistreated. These occasions are normal and could be as a result of real mistreatment but in most cases the victim might have had a different perception of occurrence. At the spot of action the victim is not aware of the nature of the situation but later the meaning as well as the lesson to be learned from the occurrence reveals itself. ...

The core concept in education in Great Britain is inclusion. As a result of high rates of immigration to UK, schools in Britain have had to adjust their teaching methodologies so as to satisfy the perpetual demand of students wanting to learn English as a second language. This fact is reinforced by statistics that show that there are 500,000 students taking English as a second language in the UK education system today (Barwell, 2004, p329). “The situation in Britain is referred to as EAL (English as an Additional Language), which takes priority in comparison to strategies such as teaching children ...

Autobiography Racial and Ethnical Prejudice
Both of my parents are white. My brother, who is four years younger than me and I, grew up in Virginia in a neighborhood where majority were white. It was however common to spot people from different racial or ethnical backgrounds in the neighborhood for instance African Americans and Asians Americans. My preschool and elementary school years, majority of my classmates and close friends were white. In those years, I had developed a negative perception about the African Americans from the experiences I had and from the history I read especially in regard to the ...

Life can be difficult in many of its stages. It seems though, that across the board, in both fiction and non-fiction, it is this time of coming of age that everything seems to take on an increased level of intensity. This is probably because many new things are not only being experienced at once, but they are all being experienced for the first time. Warrant Glen, by William Wallis, is an account of friendship during high school, in a school setting where there is violence happening within one’s surroundings, and also on the national stage. The novel’s plot ...

I have participated in organized sports from the time I was a child and my understanding of good sportsmanship has developed not from any words or lectures given to me by a coach or parent, but from observing the actions of competitors of all ages. Last summer I watched a friend’s little brother play T-ball. In the last inning, a little boy hit the ball almost to the fence and scored a homerun. I could see the smile spread across his little face as he slid into home (sliding not because he was about to get out but because sliding is fun and ...

I haven’t made many public speeches or presentations before, and the time I got to make a presentation before the class came as a shock. I generally don’t talk much, but having no option to pull out, I had to dig deep to instigate myself to stand before the class and make the presentation that I ‘managed’ to contrive. I was nervous and this reflected in the way I began my presentation. My voice was feeble, and I just couldn’t put words in my mouth. However, knowing the consequences of my action, I began my presentation. I had ...

Social Media as complicated as it may seem is best realized as a set of online media that shares participation, openness, community, conservation and connectedness (Mayfield, 2009). The social media encourages an environment wherein all opinions and contributions matter. Social media are very much open to feedback that only a few barriers limit the people’s access on certain information. This kind of medium also encourages a two-way conversation that enhances the relationship between two people. According to Mayfield (2009), as of present there are six forms of social media that we know of. These are social networking sites (sites that allow ...

I began learning English because I considered it as an important part of my education. Much of the world speaks English. I plan to travel and want to be able to communicate with many people. Learning a few of the languages that the majority of the world speak will make that easier for me. Being bilingual makes getting a job easier as well. Many classmates of mine have also learned English as a second language, a good friend of mine from South Africa, in particular.
When I began learning English I knew a few students who already spoke English. Some spoke it as ...

I always felt I had the skill to write courtesy of my high school writing grades and coming to college I was confident the trend will continue for sure. I had no idea what was in store for me as the first grade I received totally shocked me and introduced me to college writing.

I found out from my first few papers that my school did not have the right standards ...

Entry 1: Background of art

Art is very expansive and takes in different disciplines. The basic aim of arts is to express life, events and happenings that surround humanity. Arts date as back as civilization and this is evident from information collected by archaeologists and historians. During early years of evolution, man did paintings on the wall not only for the purpose of decoration but also as a way of recording events in life. Apart from this, the early man also appreciated bodily decorations. As time went by man continued to develop arts by adding new styles and techniques. This saw the diversification of arts ...

Writing a good essay is not as easy as many people think it is. It takes good judgment and good choice of word in order to present ideas in a logical manner that can be clearly understood by everybody. But before someone gets to the level of being considered an excellent writer, one has to undergo a lot. It begins with studying mistakes that have been made in previous pieces of writing and then working hard in order to improve and avoid making the same mistakes over and over again. I was there, my work was characterized by very many mistakes that ...

The situation in the education sector has changed significantly from the past few decades. The number of young children finishing high school and joining colleges and other tertiary institutions is increasing by the years. This brings to question whether the decision of parents letting their children join college as soon as they are through with high school is beneficial. There are advantages and demerits of taking children directly from high school to college without giving them a gap year to adjust. However, there is sufficient evidence alluding to the fact that moving directly from high school to college allows for ...

When I was young, I was not the most socially active child one could come across. Being an only child, I mostly kept to myself, and was very shy. I was incredibly reticent to talk to my other classmates, and did not invest much in making friends with my peers, especially during my formative years. As time went by, I was able to make a few friends, but lacking transportation and living slightly further out of town than everyone else, I did not have the means to socialize as often as the rest of my classmates outside of school. Cooped ...

Is it safe to allow teachers and students to carry guns? Will it be safer to give this permission only to the one group? These are difficult questions that create controversial opinions. News show schools, universities and other educational institutions had mostly negative impact of weapons. The history has many examples of deadly shootings in educational facilities.

Infective learning strategies and incivility/bullying in the classroom

In the video, the teacher has been observed to have ineffective and poor teaching skills. The teacher lacked control over the students due to her inability to address the class to settle down, keep aside all mobile phones and electronic items and introducing the topic of the learning module (Gaberson, Oermann, & Shellenbarger, 2015). The teacher was focused more on the presentation and reading every bit from the slides without engaging the students to participate by discussion or asking questions. Many students were observed to openly converse with each other, play games, use cell phones, listen to music, and even ...

Restaurants should be required to provide customers with nutritional as well as content of food information. This would allow customers to make more specific and informed decisions regarding the food they are consuming. Making appropriate decisions regarding food intake allows customers with medical conditions to be more aware of the contents of their food. It also allows customers with particular food allergies to make appropriate decisions from the restaurant menu. And, this would allow customers that want or need to be aware of the nutritional value of food being consumed. Although many Americans do partake in dining out, there ...

So far there have been three the most popular ways of getting education: to attend a public school, a private school or to study at home. All of them, for sure, have advantages and disadvantages. It is worth mentioning that none of it can suit children perfectly well. Among advantages of going to a public school, for instance, are social and cultural interaction of children with their classmates and teachers, opportunity to get involved in different tasks and getting the right idea of how to overcome them. The same is about a private school, however, an additional advantage is ...

Many of us, when we think about our histories, do not realize how influenced we are by the institutions are us. Whether it is by religion, class, work, a different institution, or a combination of a few, who we become has much to do with what we witnessed, and what went on around us, how we were raised, and the opportunities that were presented to us in youth. In some cases, these institutions began before we were born. For me, it is a combination of institutions. While many played small roles in my upbringing, as well as who I ...

Edgar Allen Poe: few names such as this one can strike both fear and adoration in hearts of literature students everywhere. As a writer, Poe was known for his macabre stories that often ended with characters becoming ill, being buried alive, or dying other gruesome, torturous deaths. The tone of his works is fairly consistent, with most of Poe’s work having a dark, moody, and an overall melancholy tone. With his stories being favored as a topic of research for many English students, I began to wonder about his personal life. What struggles was he grappling with that ...

Nowadays video games are popular not only among teens, but also among adults. Therefore, video games industry is a growing one, which can even cause addiction. However, most top selling video games are based on violence. That is why many people argue as to whether violent video games can cause people violence and whether the age of the players should be limited to 18 and older. Although the direct link between violent video games and people’s violence has not been established yet, it is a well-known fact that playing violent video games is the result of the aggression, ...

The book "Mystics, Maverick and Merrymakers" talks about the Jews religion. The author gives a glimpse of the inner worlds and daily lives of the Hasidic girls. There are many characters mentioned in the book that have different characteristics. Some are portrayed as weak while others are seen as strong. A character is strong based on his or her degree of self-knowledge, ability to take responsibility for his action, ability to cope with difficulties and awareness of an event (Saddock and Virginia 49). These individuals grow and acquire new ideas from the challenges that face them. A weak character, ...

The consequences revolving around of the misuse of social media have reported to have devastating long term effects on the individual. While, the positive benefits of social media could ...

My service project involved picking up trash on campus. Fifteen classmates, myself, and our instructor lined up on campus and walked to the plaze, picking up trash we found along the way. We were provided with trash bags and gloves to pick up the trash. I was surprised at the amount of trash that I saw on the path. I did this activity two times to fulfill my service project. As a result of my service, campus and the surrounding areas have less trash and is more appealing to see.
After finishing the project, I felt proud of my ...

It was a beautiful sunlit morning, and our class was confined in a classroom taking a Math test our teacher gave us. There was nothing in that test that I didn't know: there were some fractions to solve, some proportions to do, and some graphs to draw. I felt quite confident, because I had studied for the test and cramming everything before the test actually did me good, as the blank with the test questions did not look so daunting to me. I quickly skimmed through all the tasks to determine the value of work I was to do, ...

Healthy families, promote the wellbeing of their family members through the provision of emotional support and companionship, positive relationships with the family members, economic security, the psychological and physical health of the family members. Imbalances in the family dynamics lead to the family problems witnessed in the present day. Imbalanced family dynamics cause problems such a child development, addiction and violent tendencies; it also leads to personality disorders among children and adults (Dayton, 2016). Children draw from the synchrony and wellbeing of their parents, positive energy projected within a family gives rise to high immunity and mental health of ...

Introduction

Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter have become staple applications in the workplace and at home. Because of this, more of our friendships are developed and nurtured online. While social media gives the individual a sense of autonomy, and allows for freedom of expression, there are implications for those who use social media as a way of abusing, and terrorising others.
The consequences of such behaviour can lead to the breakdown of face to face communication and the dissolution of relationships. On the extreme end, legal consequences can ensue for those who use social media to break the ...

Personal Ethics

There is absolutely no doubt for me that any contemporary society requires ethical values to be observed by everyone.
These values are necessary because they would serve to regulate the relationship between people and set some particular rules of accepted behavior. Besides, basic universal values are already spread all over the world.
Living in a society we are all interdependent. If I can rely on people around me, I am able to move forward without any feeling of fear or suspicion. Moreover, I am able to learn from these people how to be consistent, I learn what it means ...

Behavior rules, which might help new international students

The problem of adaptation to the educational process is very spread between the international students.

The Court of Appeals should reverse the district court’s decision, and grant to Ms. Eriksen a motion for preliminary injunction, because Ms. Eriksen engaged in constitutionally protected free speech.

Mike Rose in his essay “I Just Wanna Be Average” narrate about his experience in vocational school, “ euphemism for the bottom level” (183).

Rose gives many details, providing full profiles of his teachers, classmates and surrounding. On one side are teachers who are not interested in what they are teaching, without real lessons plans, without skills and knowledge about topic that they are presenting. From other side Los Angeles provides complex variety ...

Seemingly, Malcolm Gladwell believes that working for a famous company or attending an elite college may terminate a person’s dreams. The famous author uses the analogy of a big fish in a small pond in his latest book, “David and Goliath,” to overturn conventional notions regarding who should be an underdog and what makes for a disadvantage. Certainly, Gladwell opposes anyone attending a giant university or college, merely for the name, or doing something out of an inner drive for prestige.

Accordingly, the popular author, outlines that choosing something elite translates to accept to be like a little fish living in a big pond. ...

Identity in the play the short story One Friday Morning

Identity refers to the state of maintaining one’s character under different conditions. Identity therefore relates to social situations such as gender, color, class, and community. In African American literature, identity can be experienced in social circumstances that are largely discriminatory. Discriminatory aspects that affect the blacks largely relate to oppression. This aspect molds the manner in which African Americans are confronted with dilemmas regarding their place within the white-dominated society. Ideally, the reality of the blacks cannot be separated in the American society because color provides an inherent phenomenon of identity that manifest in different races.

The aspect ...
