Children’s psychological effects of divorce seem devastating, and most divorcing couples are totally oblivious of how much their private conflicts have lasting effects on their children’s psychology. Unfortunately, most parents do not stop to think of the consequences of treating their future ex-spouses inappropriately. In addition, they do not fathom their perpetual behavior of maligning them in the presence of their children. These adolescents or children undergo serious manipulation from their parents for financial, social, and personal reasons (Ogloff & Schuller, 2000). It is evident that children from divorced families have the imposition of psychological problem challenges than Continue reading...

Fiction can serve a true and critical part in uncovering and inspecting non-narrative truths, particularly truths on delicate subjects like race (Campbell and Bebe 962). Often an obstruction to legit race report is the protectiveness that Americans use as a hindrance to piece the correspondence when gone up against by racially chronicled certainties. The utilization of writing to inspect ourselves by looking at narrative characters might be a circuitous method for accomplishing immediate racial report and progress.

Violence in A Long Way Gone

Ishmael Beah’s memoir A Long Way Gone, the tale of his time as a child soldier in Sierra Leone, is a gut-wrenching tale of child violence and loss of identity and connection with others. One of the most intriguing things about the book is its depiction of the violent setting Ishmael lives in; after his parents were killed and be was brought into a rebel army unit, Ishmael “became a ruthless, drug-addled killing machine,” only to be surreptitiously handed over to UNICEF some time later and asked to integrate into a more developed, Western life (Rayman, 2008).

The juvenile law took transitional stages in order to adopt to the changing trends in juvenile crimes and offenses. Through the efforts of social reformers, the juvenile justice system in the country took one form to another from the creation of reformation schools for the juvenile delinquents, the separation of juvenile offenders from the adult offenders, the creation of the special Continue reading...

The idea that an adult can recapture child mind and live completely in the present without abstract thought about the act, and the future is a philosophical and psychological idea that holds little meaning to most people. The mindset of an adult is primarily influenced by experiences that the adult has gone through. It can, therefore, be argued that the current mindset of any given adult is a collection of different paradigms of mindsets that resulted as a result of experiences that the adult has gone through. The concept that an adult can adopt the child mind and live Continue reading...

Children, as our messengers into the future we will not be able to experience, are our most valuable resource. Hence, the serious threat juvenile delinquents pose to the current and future safety of the American society. Debates have aroused about parents’ legal responsibility for their minor children’s behavior, both civil and criminal. So far, there are laws established that hold parents only civilly liable, like the Parent Liability Child’s act, where the parent’s obligation is to pay, depending on the State’s maximum monetary amount, for damage done by their minor children until they reach the Continue reading...

1. Cutler 2003 study: The findings of Cutler and others (2003) conclude that obesity is mainly caused by an increase in caloric intake and not mainly by reduced caloric expenditure.

On average in 1965, the average married American woman who did not work outside the house spent 2 hours cooking and cleaning per day.

Learning is one of the areas of human psychology that remains, to this day, hotly contested by researchers. Some claim that learning is one type of process, while others claim that learning takes place through a different process. Two of the leading theories regarding learning are the theories of operant and classical conditioning. Both have been studied extensively throughout the years, and each has supporters and detractors. Choosing a method for learning and teaching behavior is different from learning complex ideas and engagement in a classroom, but principles of operant and classical conditioning can still be used in these Continue reading...

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of learning a new language with new characters, in particular Chinese characters, in other words, how do second language adult students acquire knowledge about orthographic characters of a new language system. While past research has shown that adult learners with no previous Chinese exposure learn more effectively by receiving explicit instructions of orthographic rules (Taft & Chung, 1999; Dunlap, Perfetti, Liu & Wu). This study focuses particularly in the semantic rules. Our results support previous results in that those learners who were given explicit instructions of semantic rules did learn more Continue reading...

Should Children Who Commit Crime be tried as Adults?

However, psychologists discovered that contrary to the perception that juveniles were hardened criminals, they are youths who have lost their way. Thus, the main objective for the introduction of the Juvenile Court System was not to imprison and punish the juveniles, but to rehabilitate them. This system works under the same viewpoint as the other justice system, which concentrates on encouraging good behavior instead of punishing bad. Victims are given a number of opportunities Continue reading...

Mountain pine beetle (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is a bark beetle that lays eggs within the vascular system of the mature trees of lodgepole pine (Pinus
contorta). First known epidemic infestation was recorded in 1994 in the forests of British Columbia (BC). Prior to 1994, the infestation was negligible, owing to the fact that extreme low temperatures of winter killed the beetle, thereby curbing the problem. In the past two decades, however, due to global warming the winter temperatures are not low enough to kill the beetle. This has escalated the problem of deforestation and thereby has unbalanced the Continue reading...

A few decades ago, beinghomosexual was resentful. Homosexuals were strictly judged and condemned for their sexual preferences and were presented as people with mental illness. In fact, though, homosexual people were not treated as mentally ill, rather than annoying parasites that societies had to ban in order to gain back the lost balance and morals. It was considered unethical to choose a partner of the same sex and have a common life together as a couple. Back in the 1940s and 1950s, gay bullying was worldwide, and homophobia was very serious in the US at that time (McCormack). It Continue reading...
