Assignment one: The Sociological Viewpoint toward Social Problems

Assignment one: the Sociological Viewpoint toward Social Problems
Kaufman & Feldman (2004) cites that the sociological approach concerning social problems tends to differ from other approaches since this approach focuses on individuals’ interaction in the society. The sociological approach creates awareness due to social and structural forces. To tackle a social problem using sociological approach one has to complete definition of the subject unlike psychologists, biologists, and the economist approach. For instance, a scientific approach applies rigid methodologies and qualitative techniques while the sociological approach tends to avoid complex procedures. A psychological approach checks on a person’s ability in relation to ...

People who suffer from the type I diabetes have to experience a lot but if it is a small boy who has to struggle against the illness it is more tragic and we can see this in the given text. Jacob was a little child when he first had an opportunity to understand how it is to be different from the others. But still in the elementary school it had been easier for him to maintain his treatment, particularly his injections, than it appeared to be in the middle school. It can be explained by the factor that at that age it ...

Observer-expectancy effect usually occurs in incidences where the researcher beliefs, ideas, or expectations unconsciously affect the real behavior of the observed subjects. Observer-expectancy effect is commonly known as the experimenter effect or researcher effect. In some incidents, it refers to the situation whereby the researcher willfully or on an unaware level, manipulates the results he she wanted to obtain or observe. For instance, the experimenter, who believes that particular children are extremely talented, might unintentionally behave show good conduct or behave towards the children in means that would encourage the children to perform better than the rest of the ...

There is no shortcut to success. It is when ordinary people rise beyond their normal expectation to become successful. Studying and working hard leads to success. However, research has it that social-class shapes the future of an individual regardless of the race. Annette Lareau in her book, Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life, argue that social class and parenting approaches significantly have impacted on educational and work outcomes (Lareau 2003). It is this particular sentiment that captured my attention. It makes me reflect back to my childhood life, I realize that I didn’t grow up with a sense ...

Isaac sacrifice vs. Iphigenia

Most of us are familiar with the story of Abraham and Isaac from the bible. In contrast, many may not be acquainted with the Greek myth of Agamemnon. This is the brief recap of the two stories: in the old testament of the bible, God commands Abraham to sacrifice his only son that he got at an older age after God had promised him. It is a paradox story in that the same God who blessed Abraham and Sarah with the child is the same God that wants Abraham to sacrifice Isaac his child. Abraham obeys God but in the ...

Upon returning from school, my son immediately rushed towards me sobbing. His tears scared me off making me run my hands all around his body in the search of a bleeding wound. Alas! Instead of a bruise, I found his test scores. To my amazement, these tears were not because of failing the course, but because of not scoring the highest. Wiping off his tears, I smiled at him telling him that success and intelligence is not always measured by scores. It is the effort, the dreams and the hard work which counts because grades do not reflect a person’s capability. ...

Discussion 1 - Analyzing Point of View

A point of view is considered as the narration of a given story from a given perspective of the first, second, and third person. The importance of point of view is determining from what perspective a reader will hear a given story. Through the point of view, the narrator gets to revel given information to the readers. A writer can control how the reader understands the story by describing well his or her point of view (Clugston, 2010, p.74). Unlike a short film, which has picture, a short story calls for imagination through different perspectives or viewpoints that are provided by the writer. It is ...

Introduction

Language acquisition denotes the procedure by which humans gain the ability to recognize and understand language, along with the ability to create and make use of words and sentences for the purpose of communication. Language acquisition is considered to be one of the exemplary human qualities,
Philosophers in early societies were concerned in how humans gained the ability to comprehend and create language well ahead of experimental methods for trying those theories that were developed. However, for the major part they seemed to consider language acquisition as a division of man's ability to gain information and become skilled at ...

What I think about the workshop?

I think the workshop is effective for the students with Autism as it helps them to concentrate on other things other than the school work. Their inability to have proper co-ordination like other children is improved through the instructions and rules of the Yoga workshops. It is helping them learn more in life and feel relaxed outside their classrooms and books. It is also helping them be confident in themselves by assuring them that they can do other activities that other normal children do, which is good for their self-esteem. The workshop is also important for them as they ...

The aim of this is to conduct a critical synthesis on a particular problem that has plagued the society for quite some time. This is the problem of childhood obesity. The most common reasoning that comes to mind when one witnesses an obese child is that these kids must be excessive eaters. In fact, every kid who exhibits obesity tendencies is often thought of as an excessive eater. Is this assumption justified? Is it true that obesity in kids is primarily due to excessive eating especially that of unhealthy foods commonly referred to as “junk food”? The assumption that the ...

Grave of Fireflies, or ‘Hotaru no haka’ in Japanese, is a powerful and compelling animated film which was released in 1988 (Ebert). This 88 minutes long film was directed by Isao Takahata with the animation being done by Studio Ghibli, which has created a name for itself for producing quality and acclaimed animations. The movie’s story line is modeled on a novel bearing the same title, written in 1967 by Akiyuki Nosaka. Apparently, the author had undergone an experience comparable to that of Seita, the protagonist in both the film and the autobiography.
Grave of Fireflies has a growing audience of ...

Abortion is defined as the act of clinically or surgically terminating pregnancy. A clinical abortion involves the use of medication to get rid of a pregnancy while a surgical abortion is carried out in the operating room whereby surgical equipments are used. There are many concerns on whether abortion should be permitted. Some people equate abortion to murder while others are neutral. This has resulted in two schools of thought; pro-choice and pro-life. Pro-choice are those who believe the woman should make a choice. On the contrary, pro-life are who believe abortion to murder. Therefore, it should not be legalized. Consequently, abortion ...

Sonia Sotomayor

Sonia Sotomayor became the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice in August 2009, and the third female justice in the history of the Supreme Court (Greene, 14). This is a remarkable feat by any standards, and as she recounts in her book, My Beloved World, the journey to the Supreme Court was not easy. The book recounts her childhood, growing up in the projects in Bronx, through school, and through her career up until her appointment to the Supreme Court. Though one would expect a book by a person of her stature to contain jurisprudential and philosophical views, the book does not contain ...

Achieving individual fulfillment is a process that is often determined by obtaining a sense of identity. Etymologically, heritage has been perceived as a relationship that involves exchange. It can be defined as the quality of values, principles and beliefs, which are passed from one generation to another. These qualitative aspects of life are usually negotiated and adjusted with time. The choice to maintain heritage implies belief in some aspects of the past, which builds and motivates the events of a time in the future.
I believe that the upbringing that children receive from their parents shapes their personality and character. The personality ...

Over the years, vaccines have been suspected to cause autism.

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

In a vastly growing world, where diversity is quickly becoming a commodity rather than a segregator, it is important for businesses to maintain the practice of inclusion. Many companies that once saw diversity or hiring minorities, as a death sentence are now realizing that a diverse work group is essential to success in arenas such as globalization, public relationships, and communication. Other essential aspects to a diverse company are also beginning to include the acceptance of family life for both men, and women. Having children and raising a family was once solely on the women, and if she wanted to raise a family, she would be forced ...

Abortion Under this neutral, it would seem, short word, there is hiding the real human tragedy, crime, and simply put, murder. Yes, it is a murder indeed, an attempt on the life of a small, completely innocent person. Whatever attempts to justify this act: financial situation, the circumstances, etc., they still do not remove responsibility for infanticide. After all, every person, since he/she is conceived, has the right to be born, to develop and to live.
Doctors often suspend from a crime under the guise of cold terms, calling the baby just an embryo. In fact, in this way they are ...

Abstract

Human development is an area that has been one of the most discussed areas of study in the last one century. Cognitive development of a person from childhood days to adult years was studied extensively by a Swedish psychologist Jean Piaget. He is known as the father of cognitive development theories. His four stages of cognitive development, sensori-motor, pre-operational, concrete, and formal, are still considered to be the foundation of the cognitive development process. Piaget’s theory does not touch upon why individuals develop at a different rate or why there are different developmental stages. Vygotsky, on the other hand, proposed a completely ...

Parental separation has adverse effects on children growth and development. In part, children who witness parental conflicts and the eventual breakups develop hatred to the parents, and this may be exhibited through withdrawal signs by the child after parental re-introduction. Parental alienation is more common in modern times than it was before due to increased cases of parental divorce (Fidler & Bala 23). Children who have been alienated develop post-traumatic stress, and this has great impact during the re-unification process. Parents who separate from their children expose the young ones to extreme psychological and emotional abuse and this may lead ...

- A. the effect of the first-person narrative voice in the story is of great significance. This is because the reader is in a position to relate with Dubus’ story. This is because it is through the first-person narrative that a writer can fully express himself giving a detailed account of their experiences. This is an excellent technique since the reader is well enlightened and in a position to put across the events in the story.

Shared family mealtimes are of high value to both children and parents. Such meals times create a platform through which a family shares a lot and educate each other regarding particular matters. Suppertime is an important family time because each member is likely to be present at home. That is; parents are back from work while students are back from their schools. Adolescents need much grounding of their characters hence family meal times provide the perfect avenue of instilling ethics into their behaviors. Nothing else brings a family together more than family mealtimes. Hence, much use should be made of them.

In the discipline of nursing, professional advancement and development models are often used as frameworks for recognizing and acknowledging nurses’ clinical expertise, especially the nurses who provide direct care to patients (Gentile, 2012).

However, subsequent models went beyond the element of tasks and incorporated elements of leadership, continues education and reflective practice (Gentile, 2012). One of these models is Benner’s Novice to Expert model. This model applies the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition and describes ...

In my opinion, a combination of biological and behavioral issues combined to lead Andrea Yates to kill her children. Given the fact that each childbirth gave ...

Eckhart Tolle, in Chapter 6 asserts that people should live their lives and create happiness at their present moment, without considering their material possessions. In this chapter, Tolle cautions the consciousness of the readers. Tolle explains that once an individual ceases to identify his or her pain, the pain is transmuted, meaning that the individual no longer experiences the pain (Tolle 178). Emotional pain is more dangerous than the natural pain, and thus individuals should learn to avoid the situations that trigger emotions in themselves. When the human body is exposed to excess pain, it reaches a point where the ...

Chapter 4
In Chapter 4, Tolle explains how Ego functions through role playing. Ego wants to find a way of getting what it wants. It is always playing a role. Sometimes it might be through seeking attention, sometimes through lack of attention or even pity from others. Some will seek positive attention, and when they don’t get it, they might go for the negative attention (54).
We all have a role or function to play in the world. Some are doctors; some are counsellors, some parents, some teachers. These functions become role playing, and in some cases they become ...

Secondhand smoke exposure is well known for causing diseases such as lung cancer and sudden infant death syndrome among nonsmokers. Though many countries, states and cities have come up with policies mandating smoke-free public spaces, millions of children still remain unprotected from exposure to secondhand smoke in private homes. Second hand smoke is a proven carcinogen and parents should take a legal responsibility to protect their children when smoking. The law should compel behavior for those parents who do not know or even care to know the dangers of secondhand smoke to their children. Parents who smoke around their children yet ...

When talking about gender abortion and arguing for or against it, one must look at the issue from both sides. It is easy to say that this is gender inequality and it is the same as killing a life. However, these straight accusations are quite unfair when not all the factors are taken into consideration. There are just as many arguments for as there are against sex-selective abortion.
Some believe that any kind of abortion is equal to murder. They also underline that it is the same as a human taking another human’s life. However, when looked upon from a ...

Policies, however, good or bad are not permanent and there is always an option of changing or altering them in the event that one does not like them. It is at this instance where the option of social change comes in. due to different circumstances and changing environments, there is always the possibility that the applicability of certain public policies become invalid. This therefore necessitates change in the social policies so as to be relevant and applicable in the prevailing situations.
Thus nature of policy to keep changing demands that ...

Experts in child development and related practice hold a common view that parents should learn parental sensitivity to child behavior.

Emancipation in the youths, according to most parents is not measured by the attainment of the age of 18 but rather when the individual attains a status of independence on their own, either by getting a stable job, getting married or graduating from university or college.

However, according to Bissonnette, students should be responsible enough not to overburden their parent on the college costs, but rather work and pay off the college fees and maintenance all by themselves (Wilkinson, 2010, p. 14). This school of thought differs from ...
