The proposals for plants to many American companies are treated like any other investment. The migration of companies has tremendously eroded the domestic potential that are required to convert inventions into cost-competitive products and high quality; hence, damaging the ability of America to be the leader in various sectors. It is difficult for companies to determine the opportunity that manufacturing is necessary to innovation issues and the moment that it is safe to outsource to reduce capital outlays and lower costs. There are better sourcing decisions based on a framework that will enable reinvigorate American economy that is driven by ...

Introduction

Child's developmental process and presentation serve as a theoretical guide towards understanding the changes to expect or that would when a child is growing or in a certain age group. There have been several theories as regards to those developmental stages humans go through. Erik Erikson describes the various forms of developmental stages humans tend to go through in life. He was a German psychoanalyst. He performed several studies on the psychosocial development of humans and published several of his findings regarding the conducted studies. In his analysis, he considered external factors, parents and society has an influencing factors. He classified the stages ...

Question1

An animal is a multi-cellular organism with cells that are not enclosed in a rigid cell wall. Animals differ from other organisms in two major aspects: 1) through the structure of their cell wall and (2) through their feeding habits. For example, unlike other organisms, such as plants, animals do not have a rigid cell wall. Plants on the other hand have a rigid cell wall. In terms of nutrition, animals are heterotrophs because of the way they synthesize organic compounds. Plants, on the other hand, are autotrophs. Plants are classified as autotrophs because they synthesize organic molecules directly using energy from ...

In order to compare sexuality in teen magazines today and compare that with teen magazines of three decades ago, I selected the current issue of the contemporary magazine M Magazine (March, 2014), a magazine directed at teens. To have a standard of comparison, I read a back issue of Seventeen from December 1977.

M Magazine seems to have more sexually charged articles than other articles. If one were reading M Magazine in order to get a grasp of contemporary teenage culture, they would be likely to conclude that teens of today are interested in: what celebrities are doing, who they are dating, tips ...

Juvenile Justice or Juvenile Law

A separate juvenile justice for the youth is a 20th century phenomenon that grew out of the lobbying of social reformers (Siegel 2011, p. 561). The establishment of the juvenile system is a good development because it reflects the acknowledgment by society of the distinctions between a child and an adult mind. Adults have fully developed brain systems that allow them to fully understand the implications of their actions. According to Zerubavel (2009) children cannot draw fine lines “between the normal and the perverse” and “between the sacred from the profane” (p. 14). Thus, children generally do not share the ...

There have been several studies done on the benefits of adult education (Demidenko, 2007; Grace, 2012; Nordlund, 2013, Reese, 2012; Roehrig, 2010; Jensen, 2007). Grace (2012) provides a comprehensive analysis of the benefits of adult education. This author argues that education has a significant role in societal transformation. In the past, education was valued by a few, a reason why a large percentage of the old generation in modern society is uneducated or partially educated. Supporting this perception, Nordlund (2013) clarifies that education has undergone rapid transformation recently. Nordlund further explains that, while a majority of adults has completed secondary education, less than half of ...

Juvenile waivers involve a situation when a juvenile is transferred to an adult court and hence tried as an adult. This means that the juvenile is tried absent of all the protections offered to juveniles in the juvenile court. This may have very impactful effects on the life of the juvenile. A good example is that juvenile records are not a permanent stain on the juvenile’s life. These records are sealed the moment the juvenile turns 18. However, proceedings and outcomes in an adult court are a more permanent record. Irrespective of the age of the juvenile during the time, their case ...

Transferring the juveniles to adult court is a weighty matter. It has many implications for the adolescent involved and the meaning of the justice system. The transfer of the juvenile to the adult system holds the probability of a harsher punishment. Transfer of juveniles to the adult court system is a statement that the justice system will not shelter the adolescent from harsh justice. The seriousness of the crimes committed by the juveniles necessitated the transfer of the juveniles to the adult court. This ensured that no criminals were roaming in the streets. The harmful effect of transferring the juvenile to the ...

One program which specifies strategies for anti-bullying in schools is Norway’s Olweus Programme which was developed by Dan Olweus. This program focuses on adult engagement with the teachers taking charge of the strategy. The program strategies are designed to be used at the school-level, classroom-level and individual level. The Olweus program puts emphasis on the adult’s role in maintaining a safe and positive environment in school, as well as at home. Unacceptable behaviors are identified. The program suggests that non-physical and non-hostile sanctions should be done when the rules are not followed.

Aside from anti-bullying, there is also a ...

The three main mechanisms for treating juveniles as adults

The recent past has experienced an immense increase in juvenile delinquencies across various settings. In dealing with juvenile delinquency cases, the criminal justice systems across various states have devised different mechanism for treating juvenile delinquents as adults. The first mechanism is the waiver mechanism whereby the decision to treat a juveniles as adults are left to the Juvenile courts in any given State. Waiver provisions differ based on their flexibility in allowing juvenile courts to make such decisions (Hile 2). Many at times, such decisions are based on presumptions and discretions whereas in other cases they are mandatory, depending on ...

The economy is never steady and it never follows a predetermined course. There are various factors that influence the functioning of an economy, and as such the functioning of a financial market, and thereby force it to experience period of boom or recession. The various securities that are traded in these markets, whether government or private, also get influenced by these factors and experience fluctuations in their stock prices, in the case of shares, and in their yield, in the case of government bonds and securities. In most cases, it is easy to analyze and understand the cause behind the trend ...

Introduction:

As the American Council on Education points out on its web site, learners over the age of 25 who uses to be considered non-traditional students now comprise close to 40% of students engaged in college studies. . These students are more in touch with how they learn. They know if they want to jump right in or look at the situation; if they should go find a mentor or a book. They are also frequently more motivated, they want more than the degree, and they want the education as well. Because of this combination of motivation and self-understanding adult learners are ready ...

In the context of learning, adults come to a class with certain knowledge and understanding about the subject being taught. Their age, experience and expertise prompt them to learn a subject as a solution to a problem rather than for the sake of knowledge. It is a good thing to have knowledge as an adult but not too good for an adult-teacher. For a teacher, adult student’s preconceived ideas hinder the teaching-learning process of striking common ground, creating group interest and establishing key goals for a class. Students with varied educational back grounds and experiences learn mostly as individuals rather than as a group. Such scenarios ...

According this cluster report, there exists a different degree of similarity between different species. The more related the species are, the more similar they are. This is mainly because they share a lot of traits and common features. According to my synthesis, I would like to record that this cluster analysis is sensible (McBrearty, S. & Jablonski, N.G. 2005). It gives accurate presentation of the relationship which exists between these species.

It is sensible to report that there is a higher similarity between the Australopithecus Africanus, Homo erectus and Homo sapiens as compared to any other ape. Essentially, they are more related ...

Knowles andragogical model focuses on the fundamental aspect of education that focuses on the adult or the so called nontraditional students especially in higher education. With the enrolment of the adult students on the rice, continuing or higher education programs have been increasing therefore the need to address the issues on accessibility, accountability on the higher education and affordability of the program as some of the challenges faced by the institutions. This paper will focus on the relationships between adult higher learning principles and the barriers to this faculty while applying my own experience as a student.

- This problem needs a structured and a step by step approach to solve this problem. First of all let us look at what is known and what is unknown. The interest rate is given, the monthly payment is given and since the five years have already elapsed the remaining time maturity is 20 years under the revised scenario and 25 years under the original scenario. This means that under the original scenario the total time period was 30 years.

- What are the guidelines for nurturing optimal brain growth? How brain maturation is linked sensory development? According to Willis and Riccuiti “Play in developmental experiences is an integral part of the infant's daily experience, occur naturally in interactions with the world” (Stancoe.Org, n.d.). An infant early nurturing and positive guidance creates a bond of love and care between parent and a child which enable a child to develop attachment, active involvement with people, exploring new skills, ability to remember and development of good personality. Brain maturation is linked through sensory development when infants changing behavior is the direct consequence ...

Question 1

According to Author (nd), there are a number of factors which influence an individual’s development. These are dependent on the inherent characteristics within an individual as well as the environment in which an individual lives. In all these, there are the factors which affect the psychological development.

According to the developmental theories suggested by the author (nd), the psychodynamic theories are best suited to explain the differences in development for the two children. This theory has it that there are the inherent characteristics within an individual. These characteristic are not determined by the situation in which an individual is ...

Gabrielle Carlson’s “Early Onset Bipolar Disorder” (2005) article explains the certainty in diagnosing prepubertal children as a delicate matter. As an accurate diagnosis turns childhood into a minefield, a misdiagnosis belittles the complexities of children. Applying science and rooting characteristics out of a child is burdened with flukes. There is more arguing about a child not having a disorder than there is in accepting how an undeveloped youth can be diagnosed.

A prepubertal child should not be diagnosed with a bipolar disorder because he may grow out of it. It’s a flippant excuse but also the most natural decision to take. The behavior is ...

Arguably, older age is one of the unavoidable stages in human life. As a matter of fact, there are various classic aging patters that people undergo in their lifetime. As people grow older various things change, this includes physical, social and psychological changes. Certainly, studies show that older people tend to score lower on performance tasks, but can tremendously maintain their verbal reasoning for some time. These classic aging patters and characteristics are caused by various factors. The decrease of performance in the older age is caused by a decline and changes in non-cognitive functions such as psychomotor skills and perceptual ...

In this perspective, current assets are assets within the organization that are convertible to cash within a period of 12 months. They are mostly renowned for their high liquidity. Current assets are included in the balance sheet after the noncurrent assets. They are important in measuring the liquidity of an organization. When compared to current liabilities, they show the liquidity position of the organization. Therefore, current assets play an important role in the organization by helping to determine its cash flows in a given period of time. Every organization requires current assets in its routine activities. The performance of the organization ...

Juvenile crimes now encompass a significant proportion of the criminal activities in totality. Juveniles require special handling compared to their adults counterparts. This is due to the fact criminal behavior at this period of time is not necessarily continued into adulthood. They are considered to be in a formative period. Hence, rehabilitation is more essential for use among juvenile offenders than adults. There are variations and differences that exist in the programs utilized for juvenile and adult offenders. These differences exist in terms of staff expertise, environment, restraints and force use, education offered, work and access to inmates. The staff ...

Introduction

Many people have largely ignored child development that often occurs from birth to when the child reaches adulthood. Many people in history viewed children as small adults and thus paid little attention to the many changes in children including cognitive abilities, learning and physical growth. People started being interested in the field of child development in the early 20th century after theorists began giving their views. It is important to understand child development in order to determine the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and educational growth that children go through from birth to mature adults. Child development theories provide an ...

Theories concerned with how and why individuals become criminals have been circulating since the late nineteenth century and range from physiological reasons to issues concerned with the community and social problems. One such discussion point for the former is the impact of problems in the family environment as being the cause of offender behaviour in childhood, adolescence and beyond into adulthood. In practice, it becomes clear that these problems are a significant cause of delinquency and criminality, and whilst they may not be held entirely to account for the behaviour of the individual, their impact certainly doesn’t help the ...

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 completely in the ...

Infant care and production in tamarins

Infant care and production in Tamarins: An Introduction Parenting patterns vary extensively both amongst human and primates. Cooperative care is rather unusual in the primates, however; it is found mainly in tamarins (Saguinus oedipus), the small monkeys. This report delves into infant care and production in tamarins, in a social system, explaining the methods they maintain their relationships in a cooperative care.

When offered an option for caretaking of mother or the father, infants generally prefer the father, who offer more care. Hence, in biparental and cooperative breeding groups, the infants do not create a major fondness to the mother or ...

Should Children Who Commit Crime be tried as Adults?

Before the introduction of Juvenile Court System in 1899, individuals under 17 years who committed a crime were subjected to a similar system 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 such as receiving ...

(Name of Author) Children have a complex yet fascinating language development pattern. As they grow up it becomes very difficult to understand children’s speech, as it may sound like one thing yet mean something else. The way children speak is affected most by the way they think. At a young age, it is not possible for a child to have the mind-set of an adult, making self-expression difficult for them. Altogether, it is important not to ignore children as they develop their speech during early childhood. Throughout the growth of a child up to adulthood, a child undergoes different stages in ...

Summary and Annotation

Summary Richard Colyer’s article, “Thoreau’s Color Symbols” is an incisive and exhaustive elaboration of Thoreau’s utilization of color in description of natural phenomena and the innate interconnections between the discernible and the unseen (999). His imagery was grounded in the natural process of birth, development, maturity, decay and regeneration after decomposition. In spite of this, he found it problematic drawing parallels between humanity and nature. His belief, though, was that man can acquire the discipline to perceive sensual elements of nature instead of just the sensuous ones. The main vehicles of Thoreau’s imagery ...

Touching is an essential part of social interaction. People can hardly exist without making contact with one another. Touching by itself is a form of communication. It is used to communicate the feeling of affection between lovers. Touching is also evident in primates. Touch their youngsters to protect them from danger and show them affection. Similarly, human beings touch their young ones to provide support and protection. Touching among human beings is governed by socially construed rules of conduct. If done improperly, it would amount to sexual assault or infringement to someone’s privacy. Touching between an adult and a ...

Life accords everyone an opportunity of living once; in this case, one ought to be careful of the choices taken. Many teenagers make wrong decision by leading a life of crime without the knowledge that every misdeed has a consequence. In some instances when the young commit serious crimes, they are subject to the Adult court and get the available punishment. This paper critically argues in favor of the adult court by exposing juveniles to life imprisonment or even prison without parole. Mccabe (2007) argue that in the current society, the crime rates continue to skyrocket and the minors perpetrate most ...

A rite of passage is a very important part of an individual’s life in many cultures. Most typically represent when the individual comes of age in the culture. Young Jewish children have a Bat Mitzvah or Bar Mitzvah, depending on their genders, to express when they become adults. The Satere Mawe tribe in the Amazon are forced to wear gloves filled with bullet ants for several hours to show that they have the strength to face adulthood. In rites of passage such as these, sometimes the participants die. In less serious, more celebratory rites of passage, the participants merely get ...

The common adage goes that “age is nothing but a number” and Mark Twain said that “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.” Yet, even with such sayings being common in today’s society, relationships between people who have a significant age gap are still frowned upon. The younger woman married to an older man is termed as a gold digger while the older woman married to a younger man is termed as a cougar, all these labels are derogatory. This is despite the fact that age difference in a relationship doesn’t matter because the success ...

Background of the study

The vast lowland forests of central Africa host the western lowland gorilla, which is scientifically referred to as the ‘gorilla gorilla gorilla.’ This is the most widespread and common of the four distinct subspecies of gorillas. Accurate and reliable estimations of their numbers are so far not possible because these primates live in some of the most remote and densest parts of Africa’s rainforests (Berthelet & Chavaillon, 1993). Regardless the total population of these primates was approximated at 100000 individuals in 1980s and has been declining ever since then. Golden lion tamarins are another group of the primate ...

Summary

The phenomenon of “Pragmatic Fossilization” happens in the non-native speakers of English during their learning process. It is defined as the “phenomena by which a non-native speaker systematically uses certain forms inappropriately at the pragmatic level of communication”. Put in simple terms, it is persistence of formal errors by the non-native ...

Introduction

Juvenile offenders and minors have for some time suffered the failure of the justice system to have an elaborate program for trying minors. This has brought about confusion in the justice system to the extent that no clear framework exists for criminal justice for minors (Braswell, 2011). The essence of justice is to bring about the truth for the sake of bringing change in the society. Being found innocent or guilty, therefore, becomes an important aspect of the justice system. Therefore, it is important to note that owing to various factors surrounding this matter, the justice system is under ...

A child being tried as an adult has become a topic that has elicited much debate over the recent years across the world. Many are for the view that children should be tried in juvenile courts due to the various risks they may face, while others cite the advantage that many children and youth take of juvenile courts as a reason as to why they should be tried as adults. Arguments raised have been on which option between the juvenile justice systems or children being tried as adults have been more effective with dealing with crimes committed by juvenile offenders. For ...

The period of adolescent development can be difficult and exciting for either gender. Males and females develop different characteristics and different skills at different rates. Cognitive and physical development occurs very differently throughout adolescence depending on the individual’s gender as well as the individual themselves. Typical emotional development tends to be more similar between the sexes though it can vary depending upon each individual. We will explore the differences and similarities in these adolescent developments between the genders.

When an adult breaks the law and is sentenced not much is thought about the matter other than what did they do, why did they do it, and is the punishment fair. When juveniles are convicted and brought to trial however it becomes a very different matter. Why this is seen as so different is largely due to the fact that adults are considered mature enough to make their own decisions and therefore accept the consequences, while juveniles, though still in control of their actions, are less able to control their impulses due to lack of proper education and life ...

A Comparison of Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil” to Kafka’s “The Castle” How does one define an adult? The simplest way to answer this is to oppose the concept of adulthood to that of childhood. So an adult is someone who has stopped being a child. But, in this regard, another completely justified question arises – how does one define a child? It seems simple enough from all standpoints: a child is an immature person, meaning he is yet to reach maturity due to his age. Therefore, the difference between a child and an adult is greatly dependent upon the definition of ...

It is often believed that back pain is the mainly caused as a result of Scoliosis. Many people believe in this myth because in degeneration of the spine the muscles gets stiffer with age and the spine loses its structural dependability with maturing and progressively creates unusual arches that can be terrible and lead to indications including back pain, leg issues (deadness, weight, shivering, pain and shortcoming) and progressive trouble in walking which obliges successive rests and movement impediment. The study conducted by Buttermann (2008) enlisted scoliosis and control patients, every one of whom had evaluation for back pain ( ...

Human development is process that permits the individual to progress from one stage of development to another. It is important to mention that both biological and social changes accompany the mentioned development. Interesting to mention is the fact that at the end of the adolescent stage, the individual starts to undergo adult development stages. A notable fact is that as adults develop they indulge in social interaction that further changes their perception towards life. Similarly, the adult learning process is essential to the life of each and every individual, the process provides adults with knowledge that are vital in ...

Life events are useful if they can be reduced to a finite number that can be recognized either as stressful for individuals. Significant life events can both be positive and negative unlike people think and feel. It is always helpful if life events are rated in some rational way basing respect in the impacts of the events. Importance should be based on personal attributes with the context in which the events of life occur and how they shape personal meanings that are attached to such events (Thomas et al, 2003). Developmental scales are often attached in measuring the impacts of ...

Some would claim vehemently that of course age matters in any relationship, that it is one of the cornerstones of a successful and happy pairing. Others would counter with arguments that age is but a number, a means of passing the years that offers little to no bearing on the feelings that two people have for one another. There are those that actually prefer older partners, and those that prefer their relationships to form with younger participants, at a legal age of course. This topic has been a highly debated issue for some time, not to mention a point of frustration with parents and family ...
