It is apparent that finding happiness at work is a mirage for many people. Many people work not because they enjoy or are happy with the work they are doing but because there are bills that have to be paid. However, Joanne Gordon’s introduction to “Be happy at work” focuses on how people can enjoy their work and be happy. She centers her issues on women and work happiness as the major topic of her text. According to Joan, women are happy at work when they like these aspects about their work; purpose, people and processes. She supports her ...

“The ‘teenager’ seems to have replaced the Communist as the appropriate target for public controversy and foreboding. Adolescence is transitional stage occurring during the period from puberty to adult. This quote is meant to mean that teenager seem to have more of show off and lots of bragging than following the provisions of the community or society.

First, this quote shows truth in it because at this stage most of the teenagers lack respect of the teachings of the society rather they want ...

The essay focuses on the idea of rights by connecting this idea to the changing perspectives about childhood in the West. The discussion derives much from the 1989 UNCRC which defines children’s rights. According to Alaimo (2), the UNCRC affirms not only the ...

In life, it is not always easy to identify oneself with a particular quality or features. Despite this fact, it is easier to count on oneself than counting on the other. This is contrary to the fact that knowing yourself is one of the toughest things in this society. However, despite the difficulty in characterizing myself, I have been able to identify pertinent features that have made me who I am. Wait a minute!! These features not only portray me as a person with positive personality but also brings out the negative side of me. This is sometimes referred to as being ...

Summary and Analysis

In other words, isn’t this like blaming drivers who speed for speeding? Yet he posits it is not truly the children’s fault that they are obese. He thereby, effectively distinguishes between behaviors for which someone is clearly at fault and those for which others should take the responsibility.

Once again, he provides a counterargument that underlies the ultimate point he will make in his essay. He brings up the easy access and affordability of fast food asking what do we have in our society to substitute for it. The author asks, “where, exactly, are consumers—particularly teenagers— ...

In what ways is Freud's psychodynamic theory different from the perspectives on human development that preceded it?

According to Freud’s psychodynamic theory of human development, he states that a man’s body and personality could apply the laws of dynamics. According to Freud, he believes that childhood desires and fantasies are what makes up the adults neurotic behaviours. He suggested that the libido development is due to the normal childhood sexual development (Webster). The progress of the children psychosexual stages is made up of five stages, which are the oral, the latent, the phallic, the genital and the anal stage. Some of the criticism that other scholars have with this theory was that Freud concentrated more ...

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 ...

The childhood development phase leading from pre-pubescence to pubescence is termed as middle childhood. During this period, the social world and self awareness of the children changes and expands dramatically and this influences their cognitive development Hence, the risks and other adverse behaviours during middle childhood are to be attended along with analysing the protective factors.

Comparing and contrasting the cases of Anthony Bryant, Brianna Shaw and Manuel Vega, one can find that the three of them were having extended family support and good academic skills as protective factors. At the same time, their parental aspirations for them were ...

Question One: Significance of Proclamation Line of 1763

The Proclamation Line of 1763 was significant in that it asserted the Indians’ right to land. The proclamation sought to delineate the land that belonged to the Indians from the land that would be accessible and utilized by the colonists. In that vein, the line established the racial divide. In the interim, the proclamation gave the Indians a share of the land. The same should be understood in the context of the fact that the Indians would now be under the protection of the King. In addition, the colonists who had settled in the land reserved for the Indians were ...

Early childhood education is no doubt the most essential aspect of human learning, considering that it lays down the foundation for higher learning (Montessori 34). For this reason, I give a lot of prominence to my personal philosophy of early childhood education because in one way or another, I, as an educator of young learners, am the custodian of many futures. Worth mentioning is that our philosophies of learning are always shaped by the research and understanding of the views of various gurus and theorists in the field of early childhood education. Speaking of aligning personal philosophies with the views ...

Part 1

A: In the pea plant, the purple color is the dominant one while the white color is the recessive color. The F1 offspring that had purple colored flowers were 445 while those that had white colored flowers were 437. This gives a phenotypic ratio of almost 1:1. To attain this ratio, a parent with white colored flower (pp) had to be crossed with a heterogeneous purple colored parent (Pp). This can be confirmed by crossing the two patents as shown in the Punette square below.

B: The pattern observed can be explained using the first law of inheritance also called the Law ...

The nature versus nurture debate has been raging for decades and even today, it still elicits mixed reactions from different people. This concept presents the cosmic conflict between ethics and environmental surroundings and influences as the essential aspects that govern and determine a person’s behavioral conduct. One side proposes that at birth, the brain is a clean slate that is open to a great deal of influences, and it is these surrounding influences that govern a person’s behavioral traits. The contrasting side proposes that a person’s behavioral capabilities are encoded in the person’s DNA. This person is limited to a given ...

Because of the circumstances of my childhood, and the poverty in which I grew up, I was not afforded the chance to get a good early start on my education. In the 1990s, when civil war began to ravage my home country of Sierra Leone, my family and I fled to neighboring Guinea in order to escape the fighting. We were not given much in the refugee camp in which we stayed; conditions were harsh, and we were much more focused on getting food and water than pursuing my education. My parents lost everything because of our flight from our ...

The question on the social system of humans depends on several factors. These factors include: religion, evolution, necessity and environment. Different religions have different views on how humans are supposed to associate with one another, for instance Christianity advocates for monogamous relationships while Islamic religion encourages polygamous relations. This means that those prescribe to a given religious view tend to behavior to the prescribed social behavior, it therefore cannot be said with certainty at this point that humans are monogamous or polygamous.

The social behavior of humans cannot be compared to that of other species since humans have a power of ...

Abstract

In this essay, the four main points in which Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection is based on are presented and explained: variation, inheritance, high rate of population growth and differential of survival and reproduction.

After this, and regarding the colleague’s previous answer about the topic, a relation is established between the factors that the colleague stated, being that a population’s distribution, density and abundance are intimately related to the four main points discussed earlier, of variation, inheritance, high rate of population growth and differential of survival and reproduction, helping one another to be able to happen within a certain ...

There are many instances in my life wherein I ask myself the question “How did I live?” I cannot remember my childhood too much. All I can remember is that I suddenly became a conscious being—able to see, hear, feel, and basically observe everything in my surrounding. I grew up as a toddler, then a few years later, as a child. Of course I had a lot of realizations when I was a child. Childhood, for me, is the age of enlightenment. I do not know what childhood is for others or how they see or treasure it, but I am pretty ...

Introduction

Theories by definition are guesses and conjunctures about a particular idea and the means to prove its validity, facts are presented to support the theory through research and practical applications. At certain point theories becomes the subject of debate when the underlying principles of the theory are challenged due to the weak spots and holes found in its context. Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory is not so different from the rest of other theories that are in question due to their limitations. Psychoanalytic theory was built upon the perception that people exerts resistance when being enforced to be conscious of his ...

What is the Relationship Between Personality and Criminal Justice?

The search for criminal personality has piqued the curiosities and interests of both academics and the general public (Caspi et al., 1994). There has often been an allusion to the relationship between personality and criminal behavior. After all, it is normal, regular people who commit crimes like child molestation, murder, or rape (Bartol & Bartol, 2010).

Kaufman’s first two sentences capture the attention of the reader since they give a shallow depth of the significant title the author has used. After reading the title of a book the first statements of the piece should reflect the motive of the author in creating the book. In this case the author achieved this objective and it captured my attention to get to read the whole piece.

In the title of the book by Kaufman, the highlighting of Hector and Achilles was significant in this piece (Rosa & Eschholz, 103). The author of the book and hector were best ...

Music has always played a very significant role in people’s culture and development. Since ancient times it was the way of sending hidden messages and reaching the desirable audience, sometimes even to make people do something. For instance, one can easily observe that his/her mood changes greatly when listening to certain song or track. Moreover, it is not a secret anymore that certain type of music is used in commercials in order to make listeners buy certain products or services. Basically, music is one more way of mass media that manipulates people greatly without them even realizing it.

“Growth” and “development” are not the same. Growth means specific observable physical changes taking place in a child throughout most of his life due to increase in both the quantity and size of the existing body cells. These include increase in height, weight, head circumference, body shape, and shoe size as well as the length of the arms & legs. Development, on the other hand, is progressively evolutionary process of advancement from simplicity to complexity, along a defined path, marked by increased intelligence, knowledge, behavior and skill-sets. The growth and development cycle gauges the actual developmental progress using two ...

Learning is a lifelong process. It usually starts the moment our sense starts to work that is actually what humans are by nature. According to Wardle (2008), all humans are born to play. However differences come when factors such as the type of play and how an individual play are already being considered. Nevertheless, it does not change the fact that humans, not only toddlers could play. This paper will focus on the importance that playing plays on the development of a child.

The debate on which between traditional education and home schooling is better is one that has been existent for as long as these two systems have been in place, and it does not seem about to end soon. There are a number of advantages to homeschooling and traditional education; however one seems to outweigh the other in some way. The bone of contention is whether the early years of childhood education should be done at home or in a school.

Traditional education can be defined as education of students that is done in a learning institution either in a public or private school. ...

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 ...

Likewise, there has been a change in the face of the world. Globalization has brought with it social change and technological changes too. Moreover, the term ‘world village’ has been invented due to the simplified mode of interaction throughout the world. These changes have percolated to the most basic institutional organ ‘the family.’ It is true that every adult who takes care of children have ...

Since the beginning of time, people have come up with many proposals and ideas in a bid to expose the true identity of Christianity as a religion.

This paper shall therefore involve a comparison of articles in order to explore how Jesus and Christianity has been presented since the high middle ages till today. The following are two excerpts for Hildegard’s Scivias: its mouth is gapping downwards in order to pull down by deception ...

Culture matters to the extent that individuals living in different societies are likely to have differing experiences and more conspicuously, cultural matters to the extent that their perspectives provide a new insight into the psychological processes.

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 ...

Introduction

Childhood obesity is a contemporary problem of great relevance. Rates of the children diagnosed with this condition have increased considerably in the recent decades. Studies account that about 30% of children and adolescents in America are obese (Kiess 213). Obesity can easily be recognized; however, it cannot be treated easily. Nutritionists mainly associate obesity with unhealthy weight gain caused by aspects such as lack of exercise and poor eating habit. An abnormal weight gain trend indicates the likelihood of developing an obese condition. However, a child is not regarded obese until when he or she records a weight of at least 10% ...
