The society has changed and crime is increased and good behavior reduced among the youths which is not good for civilization.

Besides, they are against Biblical teachings that encourage people to stay in peace and harmony. For instance, the Bible in the Book of Galatians 6:2 ...

For hundreds of years people from every corner of the earth have questioned why social interaction has taken the complex form that it now has. If humans had a natural origin, then how, and more importantly, why is society such a nexus of ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts’? Rousseau, in his work Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men, stated in that as societies grow and become more complex, simple one-on-one interactions become rarer and it is harder to ‘keep the peace’. As such specific codes of behavior, including concepts such as morals, ethics and good manners, ...

Home environment plays a significant role in shaping the linguistic and culture development of the children. Wessels S. (2013) argues that every family, including the native-born and foreign families, have varying cultural linguistic backgrounds. As such, every learner in a classroom setting possesses a unique experience, values, and beliefs. In this regards, educator researchers suggest that teachers need to understand and appreciate the linguistic and cultural diversity of their learners.

Becoming a coach is about helping others succeed. No matter how fit an athlete is, their mental focus is what puts them ahead. They need to have confidence in themselves and their abilities, they need to stay focused on the task at hand and be able to push themselves towards a goal despite the physical pain and fatigue, and they need to put aside self doubt. In approaching the idea of coaching, I’ve found it’s important to understand the psychology behind a winning attitude. I think positive discipline is one way to influence athletes to have that winning attitude and ...

TMA 01 Part 1: Summarizing and interpreting a table

The information in the table can be used to explain aggressive behavior. The results show that children who were exposed to an aggressive model behaved more aggressively than compared to the children in the control condition. This shows that exposure to an aggressive model increases the amount of aggressive behavior that is shown by children. It did not matter whether the model was in a film or live. It also did not matter whether the model was a fantasy creature or human (Oates, J. 2005, 123). This can be seen from the table as the average imitative aggression was higher in ...

Packaging is one of the key components or elements of marketing, together with production services, price and distribution as well as it is very relevant in sales promotion.

Role of drug abuse in criminal activities

Introduction According to Drapela (2006), drug use and abuse is not only detrimental to an individual’s health but also plays a role in facilitating criminal behavior in the society. The research aims to identify the root cause of the delinquents’ crimes (Maldonado, et al. 2010). This research will seek to provide strategies that will enable the administration of the right strategy that would alleviate criminal behavior completely (Anglin, et al. 2009). This strategy would indeed treat the cause of criminal behavior, rather than treating the symptoms of the problem (Haberstick, et al. 2011). Furthermore, the application of information ...

In today‘s society, spanking is a “primitive” way of enforcing discipline on a child. It serves to heighten negative responses towards their parents, siblings, and other people around them. Parents attempt to curb the behavioral pattern of their children by spanking them.

Of course, there are those parents who believe that children become fearful and adhere to the prescribed rules of the society when threatened by corporal punishment, but the reality is that spanking is not the best ...

Learning in children is a complex undertaking. Psychologists agree that while the level of learning of the student is a function of a number of factors, the behavioral and instructional strategies employed by the teacher, is singled out as one of the main factors that is majorly ignored. While it's generally agreed in education circles that there are specific instructional and behavioral strategies that would universally work to enhance learning in children, it must be appreciated that such strategies would be unlikely to be all effective in all cases, and especially in cases involving different types of learners, typical, atypical and gifted. ...

Lawrence Kohlberg was the proponent of the cognitive-developmental theory of moral development (Rathus, 2010). He expounded on the complexities of moral reasoning and the kinds of information that children use. According to him, all children go through the same sequence of the developmental stages of moral reasoning (Rathus, 2010). He further asserts that children progress at different paces and that not all children – who later become adults – reach the highest stage (Rathus, 2010). However, he claims that regardless of the pace at which children develop, they would still have to go through each stage sequentially. According to Kohlberg ( ...

Genre of the book

The genre of the book could be described as children’s fantasy. This can be seen by the fact that the book has based its story on Charlie, a child who loved chocolate very much. Similarly, most children love chocolate very much. However, most children cannot have as much chocolate as they would want to eat. The book, therefore, aims to stimulate the minds of children to fantasize about the joy they would have if they were in a situation where they could have as much chocolate as they wanted.

Stoeber (2001) has noted in the European Journal of Psychological Assessment that social desirability bias is when people respond to interview questions in ways that will be viewed favourably by others. Usually it occurs when an individual under reports a bad behaviour or over reports a good behaviour. In these instances, the social desirability bias poses a big problem to researchers who rely on self-reports, and more so for the researchers who depend solely on questionnaires. When individuals realize that they are being watched or are being observed, they will tend to act in ways that are socially acceptable and socially ...
