Electoral College

The Electoral College is a constitutional electoral institution judged with the responsibility of electing the President and Vice-president. The Electoral College was established in the United State’s Constitution in 1798, when the country was facing political challenges of this time. The Electoral College was established principally because of the possibility of elections in the country degenerating into violence and chaos. The electoral institution was meant to thwart the politically charged environment of the late 18th century. The Electoral College also served to balance between the interests of the government and citizens during an electoral process (Honaker, 2009). Therefore the ...

Transitioning from a life at home with parents and the teachers as in charge into a college life where the student finds independence of every choice possible, problems like risky behaviors and irregular sleep patterns are nothing out of the ordinary. This new-found freedom is in most cases seen to be unfavorable for the college student because 70 to 96 percent of the student in college get less than 8 hours of sleep per day.

Abstract
Going to college is an important landmark in the life of a student. College life provides a sudden experience of freedom that was so far unavailable to students. With the newfound freedom, students aggressively pursue an active social life. Coupled with social activity lies academic pressure. Requirements of academics force students to stay awake at night to prepare for class. A combination of social activity and academic pressure invariably takes a toll on the sleep quality and quantity of students. They, therefore, become inevitably sleepy in class. A number of researchers have explored the aspects of sleepiness, sleep quality and ...

Young students who are currently studying in American colleges are an asset to the nation. They are the future leaders and, therefore, it is in the nation’s interest for campuses to encourage healthy habits as they impart curiosity and intellectual discipline. The health status of the mind and the body influence each other. Smoking of cigarettes poses the biggest danger to the health of those enrolled in college campuses. Studies have shown that a quarter of college students smoke tobacco, more than half of them doing it daily. Despite decline in the number cigarette smokers, 18% of college students ...

Despite the fact that most of college students avoid unsafe use of drugs, they have high likelihood to be affected by the consequences of the high-risk conducts of their peers (Borsari, and Carey, 2001). Students engaging in substance abuse do not just harm themselves but also their peers, and not just occasionally, but with a frequency that is truly disturbing. If the college campus management and the students become informed about prevention of substance abuse, potential college students can increase the chances that they will avoid problems related with substance abuse and their college expectations and dreams will be achieved.

INTRODUCTION

One of the technological platforms regularly visited by college students each and every day is social media. There are many youths who participate in all social media, like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, as if it is an important factor of their lives, something that is essential and necessary. Social media places youths in place where there every posted action and opinion is free to agreeable responses, positive accolades and “likes,” but they are also facing negative comments, hurtful insults and, in some case, even threats. E.A. Vogel, as well as other authors, in the 2014 article for Psychology of ...

Background

Everyone feels hunger especially when there is not much food left to eat. This is a common scenario in third world and developing countries. At some point, hunger could also be seen even in developed and industrialized countries such as the U.S, Japan, and other prosperous countries in Europe. Whenever one feels hunger, it simply means that it is time to eat. But what if there is simply not enough food to eat or worse, there is nothing to eat at all? In that case, that person’s body, although still starving, will try to compensate by turning the body’ ...

The emergence of social media has been critical to the political world through aiding of participation. It is important that every party and stakeholder is involved in the political process.

In the contemporary world, the use of social media as a tool for engaging on political matters has increased tremendously. Over the recent years, many groups have continued to assert their influence in politics by engaging the political ...

The Cost of Education

Introduction
The cost of education has spiraled higher in the recent past, and this trend is not surging down anytime soon. However, the impacts of the high cost of education have restricted a majority of academically potential students in the cold as having no chance to compete for some top-rated Colleges and Universities. Notably, the middle-class has been hit so hard by the rising cost of education since they are not capable of funding their children’s education in the prestigious Colleges, and at the same time not so poor to have the necessary merit for the education subsidies. ...

INTRODUCTION

Throughout the world, education is linked with income in the minds of many, particularly as they arm their children for the challenges of life. Getting a college degree is often equated with getting a better job and making more money; this is often the impetus behind pursing higher education for many people in industrialized countries throughout the world. However, is this true? Is there a correlation between the level of education one has and the amount of money they make? The following examines the literature available on the subject to gain an understanding of the pervading wisdom of academic professionals on the ...

Socioeconomic status can be divided into many different sections. Some argue that it is only divided based on education, because this leads to certain occupations and a base income. These factors alone, some believe will influence one’s socioeconomic status. Moreover, some believe that the education one attains, and the socioeconomic status one rises to as a result of their education, may or may not have an impact on their obesity. Essentially, some studies show there is a relationship between education, socioeconomic status, and the level of obesity in today’s population, stating that how smart you are dictates how fat you ...

The last few decades have witnessed a massive increase in the incidences of homeschooling in the United States. This is a deviation from earlier years throughout the 19th Century where many students received their education in formal learning institutions.

Advantages of Home Schooling
The first advantage of homeschooling that emerges from literature is the need for family members to bond. According to Arai (2014), keeping children at home rather than at school helps parents to have a close-knit family. Many parents regard homeschooling as an opportunity for them to learn more about their children and for the children to learn more about them. Arai (2014) notes that parents whose children have undergone homeschooling would make comments such as “we’re much stronger as a family now” or “homeschooling has brought all of us together as a family” (Arai, ...

In everyday life, an average human being interacts with so many experiences, some of which significantly influence our response. In a college party for instance, several people are having conversations and loud music is playing: and yet each groups of people conversing can still make out what the other person is saying despite the noise. In morning traffic, it is typical to see a corporate employee communicating through a hands free device, taking coffee and driving at the same time. In college rooms, it is typical to find one student reading while the other plays music. How is all ...

The growing plethora on the debate regarding the act of compensating collegiate student athletes has interest not only sports aficionados, the academe but the society in general. Many people question the practice as somewhat inappropriate and a precursor to encouraging the youth to lose focus on their academics and their primary purpose for education. Many believe that students are being lured to participate in sports because of the financial reward that they can get from becoming a student athlete. Thus, students’ priorities are divided because of this practice. In addition, many assumes that when a student deemed that the rewards of athletic ...

The need to increase the number of students who retain their studies to graduation arises from the necessity to provide a workforce with the right academic and professional qualifications. Institutions all over the world have come up with programs to entice students to incessantly enroll for their studies every semester until graduation. It is researched that there are several institutions with a retention rate of 70%. However, some institutions’ student population that graduates is only 55% as others have a graduation proportion as low as 25%. Whereas institutions may not focus on retention of the students explicitly, efforts to retain students do ...

Conflicts are inevitable in all aspects of life in the modern world. Perhaps, this has been the case since the wake of humankind because human reasoning and prejudices are not heterogeneous. Behera (2006) asserts that there are many types of fines. The conflicts can be classified using many criteria. For instance, conflicts can be classified on the basis of whether or not they are helpful to the parties involved or to the institutions to which such parties are affiliated. In this case, the conflicts can be classified as either constructive or negative conflicts. Constructive conflicts are those associated with ...

Introduction

Young adults of today spend more time “accessing digital-media information than information from traditional printed texts” (Hsu & Wang, 2011, p. 68), which contributes to their negative reading achievement.

Heart valve surgery is used for the repairing or replacement of valves of the heart that are diseased. The patients receive general anesthesia in this type of surgery whereby the surgeon makes a large surgical incision in the breastbone.

The relevance of stroke to the procedure of open-chest valve surgery is that it is one of the risks associated with cardiac surgery. Other risks include death, failure of the kidneys, cardiac arrest, irregular beats of the heart, and post-pericardiotomy syndrome (Kato ...

Introduction

Nowadays students’ diversity in the classroom is typical for many educational institutions in different countries. All the students have equal rights with regards to learning and development. Educators now have to be able to deal with the diversity and to ensure that every student receives attention and is provided with the best possibility to learn. The problem has become very important as it appears that dealing with the diverse classroom is a more complicated issue than it may seem to be. Sometimes teachers even are not able to cope with the quarrels between the representatives of different races or ...

While many children are born with a proverbial clean slate, this is obviously not the case for all children. When it comes to developmental psychology, there are many children that are born with some nasty genetic precursors or other issues innate to what is passed on from their parents and this leads to some challenges even in the best of circumstances. Such a situation calls for what Ellignsen, Baker, Blacher and Crnic (2014) refer to as “resilient parenting”. Indeed, they state right off the top that there are immense and immeasurable benefits to efficacious parenting and this ...

Homeschooling and traditional public schooling are two different techniques of education. Ultimately homeschooling is the youngster’s teaching place apart from the official school backgrounds and is typically assumed to be reliable by parents or tutors.

In the document presented, there are various grammatical errors, which involve colloquialism, passive voice, simplifying, use of commas and long sentences. For instance, a whole new world is a colloquialism that should be replaced with a completely new world. The first sentence also contains passive voice by placing the phrase “was begun” where it was not supposed to be. The sentence would rather read as follows. “The begun of the History of Education was in the very beginning of time”. The writer had also made a simplifying mistake by not considering replacing the last of the conjunction with a comma. For example put into ...

Persistent intimidation of others through strength or influence is an age-old social phenomenon, but school bullying has reached disturbing heights in recent years. Negative repercussions of decreased self-worth, depression, loss of concentration, and other serious emotional and mental issues may result from the practices (Chapell et al.). As a reaction to the seriousness of the situation, there are 43 states in America with legislation addressing various forms of bullying (Kueny and Zirkel 23). Educators at all levels have a responsibility to be aware of the signs of different types of bullying in order to take steps to offer remedies. ...

Sexuality and gender are social constructs, which may differ depending on the norms of society (Reis & Carothers, 2014). In a heterocentric society, certain attributes are reserved to describe either male or female individuals, with characteristics such as aggressive and strong being relegated to males and women being considered as more caring and emotional (Reis & Carothers, 2014). However, not all individuals fit neatly within the categories dictated by society and the challenges of individuals who are treated as “outliers” of society’s norm can be overwhelming, leading to emotional and physical distress, bullying, and social inequalities that have the ability to impact ...

Critical thinking is one of most highly valued educational outcomes in the professional education of healthcare professionals. Educationalists tend to emphasize the importance of teaching future healthcare professionals how to think, rather than the need to improve the contents of curricula. This view stems from the fact that the nursing process is highly concerned with problem-solving and decision-making-related activity that requires acquisition and continuous improvement of related skills (Yilldrim, Ozkahraman &Karabudak, 2011, p.174) As nursing education is directly related to critical thinking theory, tparticularly the development of these skills is essential for curricula in nursing educational instituions (Yilldrim&Ozkahraman, 2011, ...
