As a student on campus, I try to be continuously aware of the different measures that the campus and the community as a whole have taken to reduce the overall ecological footprint of the campus. While I understand that implementing a campus-wide change may be a daunting task, there are a number of small, relatively easy changes that can be made to campus policy to reduce the overall ecological footprint of the college community. This will reduce costs to the school in the long run, and also provide students with the skill set necessary to reducing their ecological footprint in their own lives. The ...

During the last three months, I have been engaged in several community service projects related to developmental psychology, especially child psychology. As a volunteer, I worked with many children and adults dealing with a wide range of issues: learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, trauma, and abuse.

“Careful dear,” my mother lovingly caressed my hair as I bumped into her while frantically running upstairs on my way to the roof top. I would be nine years old tomorrow and she still treats me as if I am a three. I didn’t in the least like her gestures of love. ”Why can’t she just keep her hands off me? Why on earth she has to make a show of it every damn time I am near her? Just the thought of her touching me makes me puke,” angrily I mused as I continued to run upstairs. I ...

Dangers of TV and Video Games on your Children

Do you know that TV shows such as Barney & Friends, Junior Showtime – Jeff Evans are harmful to your kid? Even if TV is a high tech source of entertainment, education and information, it has negatively influenced the lives of children in the country. According to Paik Comstock (1994), 90% of households in USA have TV sets. While this should be appreciated as a progress, a lot of questions should be raised about the use of TV by young children. Surprisingly, no one has imagined thinking about the dangers of exposing young children to these technologies.

“Sit down, child,” said Nana, her voice full of kindness. I rolled my eyes a bit; I’m thirteen already, I thought, I’m not a child. However, I acquiesced to my grandmother’s request and sat down next to her. The wooden chair creaked under my weight, indicating it was on its last legs. I really did not want to be here; I had other things to do. It was the summer before high school, and so I wanted to hang out with my friends, talk to Derek about whether or not he liked me too, and everything else that ...

Mondays aren’t usually known for their sunny weather and bright blue skies, but there they are. I also wasn’t known for wide smiles on my way to school, but there it was, too. A grin played across my face from the backseat of my mom’s convertible as I watched the neighborhood houses slide by with their freshly manicured green lawns and pops of colorful flowers. Somehow, what had looked like a suburban dungeon the day before didn’t look so bad this morning. With the top down and the breeze in my face, I didn’t even ...

Dear Sir,
Ref: SCHOOL LUNCH ISSUES
I take this moment to appreciate you and the ministry for the desire to ensure that our children in school are not only fed but also given healthy foods. However, it is with deep regret that what you actually meant is not being practiced and hence making the entire program more of a curse than a blessing. I understand that the program was to ensure that all children, irrespective of their economic background access food in school and above that, to minimize the rate of child obesity in United States. The issue of ...

Since I was young, I always knew I would pursue a career where I would help people. I was not sure what that career would be for a long time. When I was 16, my grandfather had a stroke and had to stay in a rehabilitation centre for a while. I did not know of Occupational therapy until that day. When visiting him in the rehabilitation centre, I saw the professionals working to rehabilitate him. I initially thought physical therapy would accommodate my career goals until I witnessed the occupational therapist helping my grandfather. I remember her working with ...

Should the Minimum Wage be increased?
Minimum wage can essentially be described as the hourly wage rate set by the law, and it exists to ensure that people who work can earn enough compensation to support not only themselves but their families as well. The idea behind minimum wage has been in existence in American since the late 1800s and the early 1900s when the trade unions were formed and started agitation for better pay for workers from different professions. Since then, there have been various changes to the minimum wage over time, with the ...

Introduction
Getting nominated for the “Hall of Fame” is a great recognition and honor for any American. The origin of its conception has great relevance in the context of equality, justice, freedom, and respect for human values. It is in the 1890s, that the Rev. Henry MacCracken, president of New York State University, took it upon himself to build a Hall of Fame. It was the brainchild of this visionary who had concerns for prostitution, democracy and the Roman Empire that culminated in a "Parnassus" - a centre of importance.

Background Information on the Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame, Mac Cracken reasoned, was intended to attract prospective ...

There are several determinant factors that lead to distinguish educational attainment among individuals belonging to different ethnicity or racial groups. It is important to understand that the relationship between educational attainment and ethnicity is quite strong and there are noticeable differences in high school and college performances based upon one’s ethnicity. It was previously known that ethnic minority students perform poorly but statistics show that some of them are able to out-perform white students who have clear ethnic advantage over them. It is wrong to categorize and say that difference in level of educational attainment is solely dependent upon ...

It was a Saturday, and here I was, walking along what should have been, a resplendent beach, like I have been doing for the past few years. There were a few early morning walkers, some of whom I knew by face, and a few whom I knew by name. Being bred in a cosmopolitan city, I had an eye for details, and while I try and keep to myself, I just couldn’t get myself to turn and look the other way when I saw her.

Dear Mr. Buffett:
Can anyone believe that in the American city of Chicago, on an ordinary morning 5,700 children endure a shocking surprise in 190 classrooms at not finding a teacher (Kozol)? What about the stark truth that there are still schools in Chicago helplessly witnessing 700 unlucky children sharing 2 bathrooms, not to mention the strict rations enforced on using toilet papers and towels? One public school in Chicago still conducts classes for the children in an abandoned roller rink with not even a single encyclopedia, leaving a rare exceptional teacher to buy teaching ...

In today’s stressful life, seeing people smile for no reason is so pleasant. It’s just like a surprise freebie after spending a bomb on shopping. Good humored people are always in demand. Their smile in the unhappy situations of life makes things seem so light. The usual intent to tell a joke is to make people laugh. Jokes may or may not be verbal; they can be practical jokes or just some puns. They might make use of similes to add to humor, like a person once said “my girlfriend is like an okay movie, but I can’t see it ...

Nowadays, to have a healthy life became a very important goal to achieve for every person.

There is a movement in society today to educate elementary and secondary students about morals, ethics, integrity, and respect in the school system. Teachers and school administrators argue that there are not enough hours in the day to add courses and concepts such as these to an already overflowing curriculum. They claim that it is not the schools’ responsibility to teach students about such issues. Such duties are the responsibility of the parents or caregivers of the students. That used to be the case. Parents did raise their children most of the time. Almost all children did learn about morals, ...

When I first held Angie in my arms I felt her smiling. Her little pink face was twisting in a happy grimace and she instantly made me laugh. She looked so funny with her two-three curly stripes of fair hair, her big, round eyes, an almost invisible nose and a toothless wide open mouth that seemed to shout her ecstasy of being alive. When she started walking I realized that she would be a naughty child. She was so energetic, constantly jumping, running, falling, then rising up and jumping and running again. She started to grow beautiful thick blonde ...

I woke up late that morning. I had an intense feeling of tiredness. In fact, it was one of those mornings when I felt like doing nothing. But, it was the beginning of the day and as much as I would have loved to stay in bed I knew I had to get up. I reached for my lifesaver. I needed it to open my eyes fully and drag myself out of bed. And yes, it worked as usual. My morning coffee was always there to help me to start a new day. The freshness of that glorious coffee ...

A thunderous ringing noise roused the somnolent house on Maple Street, number 92, lulled in soporific breeze of the autumn night. A corpulent, pale yellow fingered hand picked up the receiver of an obsolescent, antiquated phone, the noise of which perforated the bucolically alveolated inside of the house. “Yes?” A raucous and slightly hoarse voice breathed languidly. “Detective Davidson? It’s lieutenant Kowalsky… I apologize for calling this early, but we need you over at the high school… there’s been a murder,” the voice was cacophonous and discombobulated. “I’ll be right there,” Maximilian ...

Very often when people find themselves in a tight corner they think that somebody is punishing them for their faults, and that the ‘black bar’ in their life will never come to an end.

Based on the reasons and warrant presented in the post regarding the Henderson article it appears that it is synonymous to the reasons and breakdown of warrants on my own worksheet.

Similarities

In the analysis section it was stipulated that Henderson’s argument to raise the minimum wage has an apparent negative social implication being it a factor that will cause teenagers to drop out of school. Although, the interpretation I have when it comes to teenagers dropping out of school is somewhat different because teenagers should be in school anyway and should not be working. In addition it would hurt ...

Reflective Report

Part time jobs for students have become the everyday norm in the society. This has become especially popular with the increasing tuition fee and the rising number of foreign students in the western countries. At one point or another, every student is faced with the dilemma of taking up a part time job or straggling with the little allowances provided by their parents. Unfortunately to some, it is not always an option but a necessity for survival. In the beginning, most students view it as an opportunity to better their lives and have very little vision for the struggles to be ...

No one could refute the obvious: Arogania was damn angry and any one found along his way would go home for ‘negligence and utter laziness’.
Arogania was not the type of a boss anyone could expect at this century. He exercised power absolutely and ruled the company with an iron hand and to him; power was not a relation between forces as anyone would expect.

Teaching has been regarded as one of the most respectable professions with a pronounced purpose, of passing the knowledge to those who seek. It plays a crucial role in their overall development. As Barack Obama puts it, “The single most important factor in determining [student] achievement is not the colour of their skin or where they come from. It’s not who their parents are or how much money they have. It’s who their teacher is.” A good teacher will need talent and abilities, both refined and cultured.

By engaging a number of experts in the discussion, questions such as the effect on the economy if the number of students attending colleges increased substantially, who would or should pay for the students who attend college, and how do the costs of going to college outweigh the benefits of employment and so on are considered.

The love for homeland for every individual in a society or country is very special and unique. So, everybody has a unique attraction towards one’s own country. It is rightly said that a bird moves here and there all day in the search of food, but at the end of the day, it returns to its peaceful place called nest. Similarly, for me, my country is my nest like a bird where I live with pride, unity, freedom, and love.

Has anyone ever noticed a lot of people around that don’t really register on the radar? They aren’t invisible, not exactly. But on the other hand they are more like ghosts than the real people in the city. When real people are rushing around to work sometimes there are flickers in and out of the crowds on the sidewalk. Or grayish shadows moving along the edges of the building even on a sunny day. Since there is no such thing as ghosts they must be people. Right? Probably people who are like that can do a lot of things real ...

Dear Bruce,
I enjoyed reading your piece as articles about family is always fascinating. We live in a world where children seem so distant from their parents. Technology has consumed family bonds and this has taken a toll on how parents raise their kids. It’s amazing how much children can be so sucked in by the new gadgets and devices. Teens have more freedom now than they have ever had before. The idea in raising children through family stories, tradition and tightening bonds seem so important now, especially in our age.

Truancy- big idea

Reducing the number of truant children and adolescents can be a first step to keeping these kids away from a lifetime of unemployment, crime, and incarceration. This statement holds its premise in that truancy is associated with poor grades leading to truants failing to secure college places and consequently failing to get any form of employment.
Truancy according to Huizinga and Jacob-Chien (1998) is a student being absent from school three or more days without a legitimate and reasonable excuse. This is in a five day school week. Reduced consistency of attending classes often leads to most truants getting very poor grades. The ...
