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 ...

Alaimo, Kathleen. Historical Roots of Children’s Rights and the United States.

This article examines the rights of the child by tracing the historical origins of the rights of children in the West over the many centuries. The article also tries to clarify the distinctive ways in which children’s rights are contemporary understood. 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 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— ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Abstract

Abortion is a very controversial topic has been on many people’s minds and discussions. The abortion debate has spiked a lot of activism, with groups coming up to either support or oppose abortion. Those in favour of the practice refer to themselves as pro-choice, whereas those against it are known as pro-life. These opinions mainly stem from the influences of culture, religion, ethics, morality, and government laws. During debates, both private and public, the main focus is usually on the moral acceptability of induced abortions, or the rationalization of laws restricting or permitting abortion. Most women who undergo abortion are ...

The time gap between the childhood of the parent and that of the child is significantly large. There is much that happened in between the child’s time and the parents childhood times. 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 ...

Q.1.Cross-cultural psychology is a branch of psychology that tries to explain how characteristics of certain people including their behaviors, beliefs, values and way of perceiving certain things affect our way of life or others in a certain community. According to Ethan (2010) in the article ‘The Americanization of Mental illness’, he argues that according to research, mental diseases and diversity located across cultures have changed with time and in different places. He also describes mental illness as involving the mind and the brain therefore; one has less control over it. In addition, he argues that, mental illness can be brought about ...

According to Warder, Culture refers to the behavior and belief characteristics of a particular society, community or ethnic group. 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 experiences we go through in life are facilitated by the culture we live in, because culture provides or is the environment which allows all these experiences to take place (Warder, 1996)
Self concept refers to all understanding and knowledge of one self. The components ...

The desire for beauty led individuals into mutilating their bodies, a practice that was carried out by many different cultures of the world. Examples of some of the practices are plastic surgery, tattooing, circumcision, but none compares to the pain and effort that accompanied foot binding, which was practiced by the ancient Chinese.
Dorothy, In Every day a lotus, indicates that the culture of foot binding began in China in the tenth century during the reign of the Tang dynasty. The culture lasted for a long period which is approximated to be around 1000 years. The Tang dynasty had ...

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 ...

Throughout the novel Jane Eyre, the central character constantly grows in her understanding of misfortune and forgiveness. In the beginning, the young heroine suffers her fate but is unfalteringly vindictive towards those who are mean to her, like her aunt Reed, with little consideration of their fate. By the end, Jane offers forgiveness to her aunt in light of the patience exhibited by her childhood friend Helen Burns and her conversation with Rochester in the orchard.
In Helen Burns, Jane experiences her first encounter with unquestioning understanding. Despite all the antagonism from her teacher and Mr. Brocklehurst, Helen ...

Apart from genetics, a child’s growth and development are influenced by family and the environment. The family, for example, determines the moral development of the child and language acquisition (Kagan, 1999, p. 164). The family also shapes the child’s gender identity and the child’s behavior in the future. Therefore, the parenting style adopted by parents is of great importance to growth and development. The environment, on the other hand, shapes a child’s gender development, language and cognitive ability. The interaction between teachers and children in the early years of life, for example, determines literacy development.

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Introduction

Erik Erikson’s’ views make significant contributions to the field of psychology; this is particularly in the understanding of personality development and related factors. An understanding of his own study of personal development creates an understanding of development of his psychology (Fleming, 2004). Most of Erikson’s psychology work became evident in the post-Freudian era. It was between the 1930s and 1950s; being one of Freud’s students, most of his work exhibit the influence of Freudian views and theories; this was mainly in the field of personality development. However, dissimilar from Freud’ ...

Understanding the Link between Pedagogy and Leadership

Introduction
In the field of providing formal education, there is a need to establish a sense of leadership among those who are supposed to take the position of creating adjustments and points of progress in this particular field of learning. Education, being one of the primary social functions that play a great role in nation building, receives great pressure especially when it comes to creating valuable and distinct adjustments for the sake of improving the way young students are taught about the most important skills and knowledge they need to be able to survive a good life (Kato, et al, 2002).

Nowadays education sources as much scarce as they used to be 20 years ago. Sex education is not an exception as well. Sex and all the matters related to it have stopped to be a taboo in a public discussion. It is being discussed in the most popular magazines and TV shows without even mentioning the Internet, where in order to learn what sex is you do not have to go further than Google. Although, my gay years of childhood were not marked with such a great freedom, and getting sex educated was not so easy.

The natural selection is regarded as the principle central to the theory of evolution. It can be defined as the process in which the species adapt to the environment in order to survive. In addition, natural selection leads to evolution when certain species with greater survival probability reproduce and pass on their genetic characteristics to the next generation of species. This grand theory of evolution is simple yet greatly misunderstood. In order to get a bigger picture of what theory is all about, imagine specie of beetles that comes in red and brown. Both of the beetle variety exists in ...

a. Does Michigan have identified learning standards for early childhood education?
Gronlund has identified seven standards for early childhood education. These standards cover subjects such as communication and literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies. Other subjects include emotions, physical development, and creative arts. Michigan has identified learning standards in areas such as English language arts, health and physical education, social studies, technology, and nutrition. The Michigan Early Childhood Standards presents more than 120 center-based activities that teachers can use to develop their curriculum plan. These standards are consistent with pre-kindergarten expectations thereby creating a coherent, unified approach to children’ ...

1a ) Natural selection is the process by which adaptive traits of species increases through generations. In Cadotte’s research, he had several combinations of the 17 kinds of plots and he found out that those which had the most variation, survived the most. These were the plants with the most distance from each other. The adaptive traits of these plants were inherited by its offspring. Since the plants with traits that survived the most produced more offspring then these were the ones that flourished the most. The reason, Codette explained was that these plants had different needs therefore they ...

The stages of early childhood and middle childhood are a time of rapid change for a child. As the child crosses from early childhood to middle childhood physical growth is subjective, much of the difference depending on the sex of the child. The brain begins to grow while it refines its connections network through processes such as pruning and synaptogenesis. The child will also evolve socially and emotionally; once a tantrum prone toddler they will soon begin conveying the independence and understanding of a future adolescent. These changes are also subjective according to individual as well as gender.

Understanding the ways of predicting the chances of inheriting certain genetic traits makes up the value under the study of genetics. Such ability has enabled development of varieties of animals and plants that have most of the qualities that are a desirable prediction of inheritance patterns in family lineage. One of the methods that are used in determining the mathematical probability that a given trait would be inherited is the Punnett square. The Punnett square is a simple graphical method that is used to discover all the combinations of a given genotypes that can be passed to children in cases where parent genotypes ...

Professionals also recognize that children cannot get separated from the social context, for example, family, culture, and society. Professionals ...

This article is based on the research done by Joseph Wolpe attempting to understand the root of a type of Neuroses in the form of an intense Phobia. The article states that phobia’s were original thought to be the result of an individual experiencing an extreme childhood trauma that linked intense irrational fear to an object or act. They were treated by a process known as psychoanalysis, in which the patient worked through the source of the fear with a therapist. A phobia goes far beyond the rational fear of being afraid for your safety due to, for example, a spider being ...

Introduction

Evolution is the change animals and species undergo over time to adapt to certain environmental changes and eventually produce multiple descendent species. Evolution and natural selection are often taken as complimentary to each other. However, evolution, by definition, is a historical process of change, while natural selection is merely a mechanism that results in this change. Advances in technology and biology has thrown light on several causes and consequences of evolution. Some of the deepest understandings of evolution come from understanding fossils and examining phylogeny and from the study of natural selection. Evidences suggest that when natural selection is strong, the rate ...

A Good Education overtures a holistic approach that addresses an individual’s body and mind, as well as the spiritual aspects.

Aims of a Good Education

“The habits we form from childhood make no small difference, but rather they make all the difference. — Aristotle” (“Keeping the Whole Child Heathly and Safe” 6).
As Aristotle observed, the habits formed in childhood are significant in shaping an individual’s later life. Our souls are nourished by the presence of others, but the nourishment comes from caring. Therefore, the challenge is how we can disrupt the current system to ameliorate the lives of children and parents.

Dear Lieutentant Governor David Dewhurst & Speaker Joe Straus:

Immigrant families are likely to experience poverty and other hardships in the process of settling in Texas. Of focus to our group is the gap in meeting the needs of children of immigrants, particularly in regard to early childhood education. The research on early access to formal education increasingly points to the benefits to social development in children (Haskins, 1989). Amidst the evidence of the gains to be achieved among children in early childhood education, immigrant parents tend to demonstrate apprehension about its benefits (Tobin, 2005).
The Texas Education Agency aims to provide opportunities for young children so ...

Evolution of Sexual Reproduction

There are different forms of reproduction, which includes vegetative, asexual, sexual reproductions. Naturally, the question arises, what are the benefits of sexual reproduction in terms of fitness of a species, and how does it compare to other forms of reproduction? Logically, females reproducing asexually are more likely to have twice as many grandchildren and can increase their fitness two folds(Hurst and Peck). On the other hand, by reproducing sexually, both sexes have to invest copious amounts of time in selecting mates, making nests, bringing up offspring etc. In this paper we will try to understand the benefits and disadvantages ...

Evolution is a process where all the living beings have to change and adapt themselves to their environment in order to survive. Evolution takes place in many ways and natural selection, is one on them. In natural selection, those living beings who are best adapted to the environment, survive and reproduce more aggressively thereby making similar offspring. The mechanism by which natural selection takes place is fivefold: Variation, Inheritance, Selection, Time and Adaptation.
In any organism, no two species are exactly same. Many times the change is small, for example, change in the color on wings of birds, eyes ...

Question 1 – Self Assessment Result

After attempting the self-assessment test, I was really very surprised to see that my preferred or dominant conflict-handling style is “compromising” with a score of 18. Additionally, I have also learned that my secondary styles are collaborating and accommodating with a score of 16 each. Backed by the self-assessment, I strongly agree with the results because when conflicts arise, I prefer to compromise each other rather than fighting over and winning at the cost of the mutual benefit as well as long-lasting relationship.
Similarly, while managing conflicts, I collaborate with every member involved to address the concerns so that no ...

The Definition and Symptoms of Asthma

Asthma is a common medical condition which is chronic and involves the airway. It is a complex disease which is symptomatized by repeated instances of inflammation resulting in varying degrees of airflow blockage and a hyperactive bronchial response. The way the disease manifests clinically, the level of severity, and the treatment efficacy is determined by the interaction of these features.
The symptoms of asthma are usually preceded by specific triggering events or stressors such as physical exertion, pollutants, or weather changes. Asthmatic episodes may also be seasonal, especially for children who have seasonal allergies (Ege, Mayer, Normand, Genuneit, Cookson, Braun-Fahrländer, & ...

The Role Played By Families

Psychological and cognitive development can be considered significantly crucial during a person’s earliest years: Infancy through early childhood. From zero (0) to six (6) years of age—the ages of infancy through early childhood (Kagan 1999), a person’s cognition is largely dependent on his/her first experiences and his/her immediate environment. As Jean Piaget theorized, a child has an innate curiosity to know more about his/her environment through interaction (Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care, 2010). But aside from early experiences and interactions with the environment, the first people to whom a child is exposed greatly play a role on his/her ability ...

1. The alleles we inherit from our parents get expressed as outward traits. For almost all traits, one allele will be expressed and the other will not. If one of your alleles is dominant, its trait will be expressed. If both alleles are recessive, their trait will be expressed. Each of the traits in the table below follows a simple dominant/recessive system. For each trait, circle whether you have a dominant or recessive trait.

The contemporary “hero” that I want to focus on is Harry Potter from the Harry Potter Series. The story of Harry Potter spans seven books, and we meet him just as he begins his journey as a wizard. Harry Potter, in my opinion, falls under the “heroic” standards in ancient mythology because he fits the basic criteria of a “hero” and is similar to Diomedes from the Iliad. It is apparent when we learn of Harry’s infancy and his tragic childhood that includes losing his parents, surviving a horrible attack that should have left him dead, and defeating the most powerful ...

Psychology can be defined as the scientific examination of the mind as well as behavior. There are various perspectives or approaches to psychology. (Nevid, p.3) This essay discusses the similarities and differences between Psychodynamic perspective and Biological perspective.

Difference

The Biological perspective of psychology explains that our behaviors and traits are determined by our genetic make-up, hormones, nervous system as well as the structure and operation of the brain. This perspective observes thoughts, feelings and behaviors from a medical or biological point of view. Examples of this perspective include; the spatial awareness that enables us find our way home and the ...

I find it very interesting that your earliest childhood memories are linked to moving from one state to another, especially from Florida to North Carolina. It has been proposed that earliest memories are linked to stressful events (Tobin & Etigson, 1968), and I believe that moving from one state to another where the weather is difference exerts some amount of stress on such a young child.

Explain how the genetic sex of a child is determined and two factors related to the possible causes of gender.
There is a definitive way that can be used to determine the gender of a given child, either unborn or born. Karyotype is the procedure that is used to determine the sex/gender composition of an unborn child. It uses blood from the fetus to analyze the composition of the chromosomes of the given individual. A result showing XX chromosomes indicates that the given gender proving to be a girl. XY chromosomes show that the gender of the individual is a boy. All these ...
