In this regard, the tool of delivering information regarding human sexuality ...

In this article, Laura Miler analyses the evolution of girls’ writing culture in Japan and elucidates on its growth and contribution to the Japanese linguistics. She does this by examining a note scribbled by a young student in her Graffiti photo. Girl graphs, she says, has been heavily influenced by the internet culture and many of the new syllabic characters used by young Japanese girls, are borrowed from English, Roman and even Egyptian hieroglyphs. She observes how the growing usage of mobile phones has further fuelled the inherent interest in innovative script writing among Japanese school ...

The issue of gangs has been one that has been of concern in the United States for the past 50 years. Many methods and techniques have been designed and formulated to try and curb this social vice. However, I believe that the most effective ways to curb this social menace is through the use of sociological techniques that handle the human aspect of the young ones ensnared in it. As the police chief, I believe that a number of the proven techniques can work for our society.

I believe that “Social Intervention” is one of the most effective techniques ...

Raphael’s The Woman with a Veil (1516)

Raphael’s painting, The Woman with a Veil (1516), exemplifies the values of the Renaissance. This portrait in particular shows a young lady elegantly dressed. A cream-colored veil descending down past her shoulders down her back neatly covers her brown hair. The exquisite detailing of her dress and veil exhibit the attention to detail for which Renaissance painters are known.

She has a few strands of curly hair that are not tucked into her hairdo. Attached to her head band that holds the ...

The contract entered by the 17-year-old son, who is a minor with Don is voidable. The contract can be invalidated on the ground that the contract of sale that was entered between him and Don can be annulled since the son is only a minor and he was not the designated representative of the company. Hence, once the contract is nullified, the effect is that it is as if there is no agreement at all. This is due to the fact that the minor cannot represent the company since there is no board resolution to empower ...

Lauren Greenfield’s photograph portrays the typical gender stereotype that so many little girls have to fight against or give in to. The gender training all around us says the girls and women need to be skinny to be beautiful. While is it acceptable for men to have their beer bellies, a couple extra pounds cannot be compatible with a beautiful young woman. On the photo, we see how a young girl is worried about her weight and what it may mean. Even though she is dressed beautifully in a black dress that show off her small waist, this ...

Defining Terrorism

Defining terrorism is a very complex issue, the importance of which cannot be overstated in the world today. The problem with declaring a “War on Terror” is that there is no catch-all definition of what constitutes terrorism (O’Kane, 2007). Most people have a very general idea of what terrorism looks like; it is easy to describe an act as terrorism once it has occurred, but it is very difficult to define terrorism as a whole before it happens.

A good definition of an act of terrorism is, arguably, an act, often a violent act, whose purpose is to ...

The article provides us with information about two separate studies conducted by Ernst and Young and University of Florida in 2002. Both studies analyze the causes and effects of inventory shrinkage in US retail industry.

According to the statistics, retailers loose at around 1.7% of their total annual sales on average due to inventory shrinkage, which includes shoplifting, employee theft and various errors.

In my opinion, inventory shrinkage is a serious problem to modern retail industry, as it significantly affects profitability of the company and its key indicators and results in consumer losses because of increased prices.

Part A

Question 1 We went up to the attic, into a long, low room under the eaves where I’ve squirreled away some boxes of old stuff; I dug into one box, and the first thing I hauled out was the very thing he wanted. A thigh-length leather vest covered with fringe and studded with silver, it dates from around 1967, a fanciful time in college-boy fashions. Like many boys, I grew up in nice clothes my mother bought, but was meanwhile admiring Roy Rogers, Sergeant Rock, the Cisco Kid, and other sharp dressers, so when I left home I ...

The enthymeme “e-Marketing should be included as a marketing and sales strategy in business because if offers more efficient techniques than traditional marketing” (Kwon, “e-Marketing,” 1) helped determine the organization of my essay by setting forth the deduction I was arguing and focusing my argument on the right subjects. My conclusion was that e-marketing should be included in a business strategy. My major premise, unstated, was that the best marketing was efficient marketing. My minor premise, stated, was that e-marketing is more efficient than traditional marketing. My major premise is not controversial so I spent a great portion of ...

Creative Writing: Plot and Structure

Nancy Kress’ work is a profound piece of writing. Kress mainly focuses on characterization of literary plots. Characters within any story are fundamental in building the connection of readers to the literary text. Therefore, authors should make sure that they select characters who contribute the overall quality of the plot. This means that any character that is within the plot has to be making a contribution to the plot in accordance to the objective of the author.

There are different types of characters with any given plot. There are main characters and minor characters. However, it is worth noting ...

Introduction

I am the most powerful person in my life. This statement forms the basis for my understanding of personal responsibility. In my understanding, personal responsibility is the ability of an individual to accept the consequences of their decisions and actions, and the capacity to acknowledge that their actions affect the people around them. Essentially, personal responsibility is concerned with self respect and self control, which enables an individual, be accountable for their deeds. Summarily, personal responsibility is all about a postulation that an individual takes ownership of his or her own account. The individual takes unqualified control ...

Introduction

War is truly a very terrible thing. It has a lot of confounding effects on every person who is involved. Some individuals take war well. Others undergo very horrible experiences as a result of war such that they are scarred for life. These people are still haunted by the effects of war even when the war ends and they return home. A lot of stories about the disastrous effects of war have been written by many authors. Tim O’Brien’s “How to Tell a True War Story" and Ernest Hemingway’s “Soldier’s Home” are ...

Organized crime integrates established successful principles used by lawful business organizations (Mallory, 2012). Accordingly, they operate like business enterprises only that what they do is illegal. The causative factors for these groups range from ethnicity, race, and political. The common factor however is they are all illegal.

Examples of organized criminal groups based on race or ethnicity in California are the Bloods and the Los Angeles crime family. Both groups are highly centralized with a chain of command. In both, the top brass are rarely seen in public but the group’s presence is felt and seen in public; ...

The Egypt revolution of 25 January 2011 was aimed at ending the regime of Mohamed Hosni Mubarak who had been the president of the country for quite some time. He was considered a dictator who did not have the interest of the country at heart but that of his own people. During his reign, there was little economic growth with a rise in the rate of unemployment. The country was still using government policies that had were implemented during the colonial time. They were hence not addressing the current needs of the society (Sharp65). There was also misuse of ...

Human beings develop from tiny elements into a full human being. During these developmental stages, they experience various life challenges. Some of the challenges are psychological, cultural, and emotional challenges. The two people I have in mind are Luke and his grandfather, Elly. Each of them represents a different generation. Luke is a successful young man. He is educated and works with an international organization. He is married to Lavender, who is of a different tribe and is a lawyer. Both of them work and provide for their two children. On the other hand, Elly is an old man ...

When World War I broke, earlier poets wrote poems celebrating the outbreak of the First World War. These poems reflected an over-optimistic, sentimental and unrealistic attitude to war that mirrored the attitude of the British people, who assumed that the war was chivalrous and heroic. Rupert Brooke's “The Soldier” is an example of such early World War I poetry, in which Brooke uses strong figurative language and symbols to romanticize and sentimentalize the horrors of war. By 1915, both the British people and poets began to realize how horrific and terrible the war really was, and poems thereafter began ...

Computer Literacy

Culture at Google Play Google’s culture is an open culture sharing the same mission and vision. (Google.com, 2013) This culture is reflective of how Google keeps its family and its clients. Because of the diversity of clients it serves, the company is challenged to continuously create applications that serves all facets of their clients – that is from those novice users who need simple solutions to those needing advance solutions. It’s culture enables developers on every country to create applications suitable to each community and in a language the locals can understand since Google’s aim is to ...

Monke (2004) contends that exposing young children to computers damages a child's ability to "enter into a rich and complex relationship with the subject at hand" (p.336). What are your thoughts about this statement? Support your thoughts with research and experience.”

According to Monke, it is important for parents to avoid exposing their children to computers because they affect their ability to handle the subject at hand effectively. Before reading Monke’s article, I used to think that computers do not have any negative impacts on the learning growth of a child. However, after reading, it came to my ...

The video is about a soldier who is sent to war in Iraq. He remembers clearly one time when they were on the top of a building and they were political demonstrations some two miles away. He then saw a young man approach the crowd holding a grenade on his hand. He does not remember squeezing the trigger or watching the young man fall down, but he clearly recalls some two people coming outside the building and pulling the body inside. He never felt the same again. He went into a dark room a counted his magazine.

The research titled ‘Clinical Features and Functioning of Patients with Minor Depression’ was published in Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics on August 21, 2008. The study sought to describe the clinical features as well as the functioning of outpatients who were diagnosed with minor depression. The researchers developed four research questions. What are the characteristics of minor depression? Is there a difference between the severity of functional impairment related to minor depression and that of MDD?

Contemporary culture refers to current cultural values comprising of social, political and economic aspects. Culture is a complex unique issue that comprises customs, beliefs and attitudes and differs from one society to another. Whereas every section of the society determines culture, it is right to claim that studying the trends of the youth will help in understanding contemporary culture. Culture passes on through one generation to another and people in the current generation gets exposed to new developing trends in the community but also exhibit traits and habits from previous generations. Whereas in America, the elderly may prefer homemade ...

The most alarming issue is the fact that religion has become ...

In recent years, there has been concern over the rising numbers of violent crimes in the United States. Crime statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI 2011) indicate that 58% of murder victims are youthful African Americans. The trend is estimated to rise since in 2011, the prevalence was 58% which was 8% more than it was in 2007. Young men and boys of color are therefore the most vulnerable populations when it comes to violence. The photo chosen was appropriate to this issue because it addresses the concern that the African American community has over the rampant ...

McDonalds is viewed to be an unfriendly place for young people in terms of its working environment. Many young people try to secure part-time jobs in America to supplement their income. Fast food companies such as McDonalds are among the top part-time job providers. These jobs appear lucrative from an outside point of view. However, a close analysis reveals how the jobs have a negative influence on young people. These jobs affect the youths’ academic performance; add little or no skill to the individuals’ future life and influences individual values, especially in financial terms.

Most Americans believe that young ...

An issue of great importance to me is how media and its current portrayal of teenagers affects them. Issues like alcohol consumption, drug use, bullying, teenage pregnancy, violence, gangs, etc. are frequently shown on the airwaves, and often even on programs aimed at teenagers. Frequently, it even seems to be glamorized (as in many video games, such as the Grand Theft Auto series). This leads to a perception of these behaviors as “normal” and abstaining from them, by default, “abnormal”. This leads to peer pressure and pressure from society for teenagers (and others) to partake in such activities.

This ...

There are many social issues that affect the lives of people in the community. Some of the social issues affecting our community include drug abuse, crime, teen pregnancy, social discrimination, racism, sexism and pollution. Most of these issues have been addressed by various philosophers in the world with the motive of ending them. Many communities are affected by most of these problems in one way or the other. However, there are some communities that are more affected than others. Teen pregnancy is a social issue that has increasingly affected many communities in the world. This issue has been taken ...

Jimi Hendrix’s cover of the Bob Dylan folk song, “All Along the Watchtower,” adapts the song from Dylan’s mellow and malicious folk song to an exuberant, angry rock anthem for young people in the late 1960s. Under Jimi’s alterations, the instrumentation turns ominous and aggressive, his exuberant vocals sounding almost pleading. The song contains a limited chord structure and longer-than-usual musical sections, as well as unsettling improvisation and call-and-response from the vocals and guitar. The combination of all these musical elements make the listener, especially one who was young in 1968 (when the song was released), ...

My preparations will kick off by first familiarizing myself with the situation at hand. As of the information provided in the paper, I need to visit the sides first that are alleged threatening to derail our young generation fro the community structures. I expect to extract ...

The new forms of terrorist attacks are causing devastating psychological and physical effects among members of the public. Lack of knowledge among the public on these forms of attacks has led to unnecessary fears. Some of the modern forms of terror threats include the use of explosive vests on women, children and young men. These attacks are sometimes dispensed in highly populated areas that include residential areas and city centers (Bullock, 2012). Educating the public will involve showing them how to identify the different forms of threats. Necessity in identification arises because people have been seen to lose their ...

There are various modes of data collection in research. One of the prices sources f data is interview, where the research team engages persons in a one on one discussion so as to get the root of the matter being researched on (Robinson, 2010).

In situations involving juvenile offenders police discretion means that the police are in a position to make choices that are legally sanctioned as to what they do with a Juvenile.

The police discretion is affected by the following factors;

Offense: In exercising their discretion police pay greater attention to serious offences than they do to petty offences. Economic Status: There is some evidence to suggest that juvenile belong to lower – class families (lower class juveniles) receive different justice than their counter parts from the upper – middle class

Complains: The likelihood of arrest increases if a citizen makes a complaint and is present.

Gender: In the exercise of police discretion police are likely to arrest males compared to females. In most instances females are ...

It is fascinating and covers almost of the issues that need to be understood by everyone in order to address the emerging issues in the society today. I would like to agree with Sorrels for the kind of information given in the chapter four: Placing Culture and Cultural Space: Locations of Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication. Actually, this topic is quite relevant to the contemporary society because it enlightens the readers on the diverse situations ...

Part I

This dedication to the act of harvesting lumber itself is condoned in the book through the main dramatic tension: the work of the Limberlost harvesters to make sure that no timber thieves illegally cut down trees and cut into their profits. Because the conflict focuses so closely on the legality of who should harvest the Limberlost, and not whether the harvesting itself is a good idea, there is no abject environmentalism to speak of in the text - just ownership of land and nature's resources. McLean even just primarily objects to them not taking lumber efficiently enough - "McLean ...

In a family, the task of raising and educating children from birth or even before birth to the time the time such children become of majority age rests on the parents (Ambert, 16). Similarly, in the animal kingdom the animals take care of their young ones, provide them with the physical needs, and protect them until they can take care of themselves. In the human race however, things are a little different. For instance, in the animal kingdom the young ones are only raised by their biological parents. It is rare to find an animal raising the young one ...

David Zinczenko begins his essay by stating that young people have started to sue McDonald’s and other fast food chains for serving food that made them obese, and that he agrees with them that their diet choices are not simply a matter of individual or personal responsibility. When he was growing up in the 1980s as the child of a single mother, he also ate two meals a day in fast food restaurants and ended up weighing 212 pounds by the time he went to college. He was lucky because his experience with the military and a health ...

Over a long period of time, the federal government has had struggles in instituting the rules and guidelines on matters of sentencing. This is so because of the sensitivity of the judicial sentencing authority especially following the Reform Act of 1984 which came as a replacement to the former traditional sentencing policy. The Reform Act of 1984 is a more strict authority which is proscribed by the enactment of mandatory guidelines to deal with sentencing. There also arose the limitation brought by the Supreme Court’s decision on the constitutional grounds with the exercise of mandatory guideline provided for ...

Introduction

Teenage pregnancy in modern societies is being viewed as a dysfunctional. Historically, across cultures it was discovered to be functional since teenage couples were encouraged to begin raising a family very early. With contemporary educational trends this value of childbirth at a very early age has been replaced by getting into college, having a degree and then thinking about childbirth in one’s late twenties; thirties or even forties. This research project hopes to explore how appropriate this perception of when pregnancy should occur and the ...

What is love? The answer to this question is sought as long as the humanity exists. Any other feeling can be described quite easily, but love is something that different people understand in their own way. It cannot be seen, touched, heard or smelled – it only can be felt.

During the 1930s, the Great Depression affected many states leading to major changes in most sectors of their economy. One of the countries that became a victim of the Great Depression was Canada. Owing to this, the issue has attracted the attention of many researchers. The aim of this review is to examine the work of one such researcher, Katrina Srigley, in her book, Breadwinning Daughters: Young Women working in a Depression- era City, 1929-1939 (2010). The Great Depression era affected the live patterns of young women in Canada. They experienced a great shift while trying to ...

Arguably, smoking is among the most dangerous behaviors that cause harm to human health. Just, like the use of drugs and alcohol, smoking is not exceptions on its effects to health. As a matter of fact, debates have been there for a long time on the legalization and criminalization of smoking based on health issue. In the 21st century, the number of minors smoking is increasing tremendously. Therefore, the law enforcing agencies and health care practitioners should look into the issue critically. Through critical analysis, the criminalization of health related conduct should take place.

Aphthous stomatitis is also known as a canker sore. It is one of the most common mucosal lesions that dentists and physicians observe in patients. It is seen more commonly in females. No specific etiology has been documented for Aphthous stomatitis. However, some factors like auto antibodies, and vasculitis mediated by immune complex have been brought forward as possible etiological factors. Some factors that can precipitate it include stress, trauma, hormones, heredity and chemical irritants. (Casiglia, 2010). Certain food materials have also been implicated, including coffee, cheese, potatoes, figs, nuts, citrus and chocolate (Casiglia, 2010). Also, some nutrient deficiencies, ...

There have been several versions of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act since its first introduction in 2001. For the purposes of this discussion pertaining to whether the DREAM Act is a good idea or not this writer will take into consideration the most recent version, which was rejected by the senate in 2010 December. While the DREAM ACT appears, generally, to be a great idea, the provisions of 2010 legislation can be considered discriminatory in many ways. Considering the idea of providing people classified ‘illegal immigrants’ or undocumented who have entered this country illegally/ ...

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 ...

Question 1

Erving Goffman claims that a man is only completely at peace with himself when he fits an extremely exact mould of ‘what is acceptable’, whilst Mary Pipher claims that girls also suffer from experiencing a demand for impossibly high standards. In today’s society, it is increasingly the case that individualism allows for men and women to look and behave how they choose to, but arguably, those ‘sub-cultures’ are still heavily loaded with high expectations and ...

The novel’s setting is the racist south during the civil rights movement. The characters interaction in the novel try to bring out the situation as it was during the civil rights movement. Key to note here is that various people had the responsibility of uniting the people while some like Dr, Martin Luther king Jr. had the responsibility of fighting for the rights of his people. The rivalry that was there between the white and the black camps had created so much tension among the two groups creating enemies as a result (Harken 57). There was to be ...

The fable dates back to the writings of ancient Greece, which featured the prolific works of Aesop, and even to the Old Testament, which features the fable of the serpent. What all fables have in common is the use of animals, creatures of myth, or natural forces which are given traits of humans for a brief time. The action of the fable expresses some sort of lesson, and fables often end with these lessons restated as a short sentence. One of the most famed fable tellers of the twentieth century is Dr. Seuss, whose wide range of animated books ...

Abstract

While one usually comes right after the other in one's life, high school and college are radically different experiences for most young people. There are some people who reminisce fondly about high school days, while others long for the freedoms of a dorm room and a meal plan. High school is a period of time that includes more milestones than college days, in most cases; ironically, it is also a period of time that many adolescents end up missing most of, because they are so busy thinking about the future instead of the present. Arriving at college exposes students ...

Tom’s coat had swished out from behind him as he’d walked through the door of Chicago’s biggest bank; he’d removed his dark-rimmed glasses and walked up to the counter, placing them down on the surface. Sat behind her desk, Shannon, a beautiful blonde with the biggest blue eyes had looked up at him, surveying his appearance and taking in the bruise on his cheek, the fresh cut above his eye, and the dangerous glint in his eye. She’d silently made her assumptions as Tom reached into his pocket: her heart had leapt into her ...

Developmentally Appropriate Practice for young children

A developmentally appropriate practice is an essential procedure that should be undertaken to ensure that the young children excel in the early childhood education. Through developing an appropriate practice for the young children, a proper framework is established that will ensure the children perform better in the examinations. Young children unlike the adults, require some time to be capable of learning a new concept (Gronlund, 2007). For this reason, the young children cannot be taught as adults since there understanding level is still developing. This implies that the children will require more time to be capable to grasp a ...
