Introduction

The Chicano Movement is traceable to the agitation of better Mexican-American human freedoms and civil rights, expanding from its humble beginnings of the 1940s, to the vocal Mexican American Movement it was during the 1960s. Its core goal was the agitation of greater Mexican American empowerment. The movement expanded from its humble beginnings, through time to later on transform into the national movement it became. As a whole, it encompassed a wide-ranging cross section of aspects and issues affecting the greater Mexican identity. As such, these included Mexican farm workers’ rights, the restoration of land grants, the enhancement of educational development, ...

INTRODUCTION

What we look like matters. Most people would like to think that we, as a species, are not so shallow, but the reality is that we are. We judge, criticize, and determine the value of many people based on their physical presentation, their hair, skin, height and, very often, their weight. This can send a message to the younger generations that your appearance is equated to the level of acceptance they may receive from peers. While such things, like bullying, can affect both young boys and young girls alike; girls are more likely to take those criticisms so deeply that they ...

Introduction

Universal Healthcare is obviously prevalent within the Unites States healthcare systems; however, the utilization of universal health is a major component when implemented into any healthcare system.

ABSTRACT
Over the past decades, there has been a significant shift in the perceived best practices in the field of special education. While the paradigm for special education, at one time, involved removing students with special needs from the classroom to receive specialized instruction from specifically trained practitioners, the social stigma and lack of academic progress pushed administrators to move toward a more inclusive philosophy of education. A meta-synthesis was performed of past quantitative and qualitative studies to determine what type of structure will best ...

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the complexity in which organizations operate, including an expansion to global environments that intrinsically establish moral challenges for the members of their organizations (George, 2007; Donaldson, 2003). There are several reasons for this complexity, as the actions of individuals are receiving more scrutiny, there are more widespread requests for transparency, there is a greater need for organizations to operate across legal and governmental systems that are in competition, as well as to operate across divergent cultures that often use different sets of morals and values.
Concomitant to this increase in ...

Abstract

Body dissatisfaction refers to an individual’s negativity regarding their own body image. It is found throughout all individuals, regardless of age or gender. However, studies have shown differences do exist when it comes to body dissatisfaction and an individual’s age or gender. Previous research has been aimed at body dissatisfaction and the causes that leads to an individual’s body dissatisfaction. This study is aimed at analyzing whether or not media exposure has a bigger influence when it comes to body dissatisfaction than psychological factors.
The sample for this study will consist of 450 participants throughout three ...

A Domestic and International Epidemic

INTRODUCTION
The word “slavery” is a word with many meanings and ideas conceived by nations, cultures and peoples all over the world. However, at the core slavery is any form of activity that forces one human being to be dependent and at the mercy of others, a loss of freedom, and the definitive crime against humanity. People imagine a lot of things when we think of slavery. Some might think back to biblical stories and the Jewish slaves in Egypt or the indentured servitude practices in Western Europe in the 1600s. However, in the United States, the word slavery automatically brings ...

1. Executive Summary

Recently, the Hong Kong’s population is characterized by a large and growing segment of young and affluent consumers as they have plenty of disposable income to spend on alcohol beverages.

Introduction: Explaining Nationalism

Nationalism provides for an underlying concept explaining the organization of humanity. Normally, nationalism bases its definition on the importance of a shared system of beliefs and heritage that characterize different forms of identities. As the world itself is diverse in geography and living conditions, it is inevitable for people across the globe to coalesce with one another based on the sameness and coherence of their consciousness and experiences. Along the way, they develop a closer sense of identity the more they find themselves affected by a certain event, particularly those whose landmark effects have enabled a ...

Barriers to Forming an East Asian Trade Bloc: China and Japan

Countries usually enter into trade agreements by forming blocs so that they can provide and benefit from preferential treatment in trade. The arrangement provides a country easier access to external investments removes trade barriers and facilitates better and greater movement of goods and money across national borders. The trade bloc commonly seeks to reap the benefits of significant economic advantages made possible through greater FDI flows (Foreign Direct Investment), economies of scale of production, more competition among manufacturers in nearby member countries, beneficial tariff regimes and more efficient markets.

Marriage is a tradition that is practiced and honored all over the world. It signifies the birth of a relationship that grants couples the privilege to build families and an enduring kinship ties. Studies show that people who are happily married have more desirable benefits and experiences than those who are unmarried, cohabiting, widowed, or separated (Shariff 557). Specifically, married individuals have better parenting styles, stronger support systems, greater economic security, greater financial resources, healthier psychological status, more desirable emotional wellbeing, greater physical health, and longer life.
Marriage practices in Western countries are different from those of other societies. ...

Recent years have seen significant changes in the economies of both Mexico and Chile. Given this, it can be useful to examine the current economic situation in Mexico and Chile, comparing the two. While many people in the United States might tend to think of these two nations as being identical in nature because of the fact that they have Hispanic cultures and the Spanish language, there are in fact many differences. For example, Mexico since the late 1990s has been able to benefit from the existence of NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement). This has allowed it ...

Research Question: What should be done about abortion?
Thesis Statement: Abortion is impermissible except when performed to save, not to take, life.
I. Abortion as a Utilitarianistic Act
Mothers who opted for abortion often base their decisions on factors that are favorable to them personally, making their utilitarianist philosophy essentially egoistic. Thus, a mother who opted to perform an abortion is essentially an egoistic utilitarianist.
Consequently, utilitarianism suffers from the problem of failing to respect the separateness of persons; that is, that of the mother and that of the unborn child (Jacobson 168). ...

Effects of Fictional Violence On Aggressive Behavior

Introduction
Media violence has been a topic of controversy because many researchers propose that violent media will encourage people to act aggressively and violently as a result of learning that behavior from watching others. Many of the earlier studies focus on short- term effects of watching violent media and measuring the effects by observing the outcome of aggressive behavior. One of the earliest studies to bring up the topic of the influence of viewing aggressive models on aggressive behavior was that of Albert Bandura in the 1960s. According to Bandura’s study, when children were presented with an aggressive ...

Abstract

Adult learning and education is an extremely complex and challenging branch of education, as the restraints of time management, study skills and anxiety, among other factors, can hamper the possibility of adult learners to receive the education they need. Given these constraints, a humanistic approach to learning is recommended, as it focuses on the individual needs of the adult learner and grants them greater autonomy in the learning process. This is best exemplified in self-directed learning, a process that offers adult learners the ability to cultivate their own skills, and work at their own pace and under their own direction. While ...

Introduction

Human sexuality is how human beings express themselves sexually. Usually driven by desires of sexual pleasure, human sexuality has physical, biological, and emotional aspects. Biologically, human sexuality refers to the reproductive system as well as fundamental biological drive which exists in all the species and can include sexual contact and sexual intercourse in all forms (Birnbaum et al, 2001). Emotional aspects deal with deep emotions relating to social bonds and associated sexual acts. Physical aspects around sexuality range from medical considerations to physiological or psychological and even sociological aspects of sexual behaviors. In this paper, I will strive to ...

Introduction

The term globalization is no longer restricted to economic journals and text books. The definition of globalization has taken a wider sphere. Globalization has taken the world in its embrace since the turn of the last century. By globalization today we mean the greater integration of the world in terms of economic cooperation, financial interactions, cultural interchange, as well as enhanced political interrelationships. Thus globalization has not only increased the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the culture, values, ethics and socio-political strife of the other nations of the globe, it has also increased the interdependence of the globalized nations. Initially, ...

As the development of transportation and communication technology has increased in light of globalization, immigration has had a significant impact on world politics, and it has become a central theme in political discussions focusing on international relations. In light of the substantial and ongoing issue of American immigration, immigrant populations are dealing with prejudice, unfairness, and xenophobia more than ever before. Given America’s status as the great melting pot, it is one of the biggest receivers of immigrants from other countries, thus, the impact that caused by immigrants is a crucial factor that affects many aspects of the American society and ...

Abstract

The issue of balancing family and career is controversial especially based on the gender issues that tend to emerge from such debates. The following analysis presents personal experiences and worldwide view on the issue and the respective implications. It is evident that gender equality is not the solution on work-family conflicts as countries with greater gender equality level also report such cases in exception of Sweden where women are institutionally supported whether they are married or not. The fact that over 60% of the households with the school aged children are mainly dual-earning families depicts the essence of developing ...

The issue of illegal immigration in the United States is an extremely polarizing issue, one which divides Americans and is a constant hot button issue in American politics. Illegal immigration can be defined as the entry of a non-legal citizen who has not gone through proper legal channels to gain residency in the United States. These individuals reside in the country and even work within it, all while not being registered or legally recognized as an official US citizen. Most illegal immigrants in America come from Mexico and other Latin American nations, and can be found in all areas of the ...

In contemporary academic settings, there were increasing percentages of students who have opted to work part-time. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), “in 2010, about 40 percent of full-time and 73 percent of part-time college students ages 16 to 24 were employed” (par. 1). A number of studies have been delved into to determine any evident link between students’ academic performance resulting from working part-time. Some studies assert that working more than 20 hours per week would be grossly detrimental to the academic performance of students . However, most have confirmed that the benefits far exceed any ...

In today’s world, the Internet pervades every aspect of life, from smartphones to streaming video. Every single human need for information or entertainment can be accessed with the push of a button, which creates a culture of immediacy that some people believe threatens societal development. However, it can be said that the Internet provides a bastion of information and communication that is unprecedented at any other point in history. This is found most clearly in the advent of social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter - these are hubs of information and modes of communication between millions of individuals at a ...

a. Describe the theory of Performance-based measures and its practical application.

With the implementation or utilization of a service, those receiving the service are under the expectation that the service provider should provide quality work in keeping with the client’s or customer’s satisfaction (Peer & Tenhula, 2010). The satisfaction of the customer must be the top priority in a business, as their primary goal is to serve the customer, who is their primary benefactor and the supplier of payment, and therefore funding. The theory of performance-based measures involves the reimbursement or payment of those providing a product or service based ...

Abstract

As the title suggests, this paper covers the importance and purpose of the female orgasm. Since the female orgasm is not essential for conception, this paper attempts to shed light on why it regarded as so significant, not only by women but by men as well. This paper lays stress upon the fact that achieving a vaginal orgasm is not an easy ordeal for women. At this point the paper distinguishes between vaginal and clitoral female orgasms, while explaining why the latter orgasm is easier to achieve while the other one is not. Although this paper points out the lack ...

The mid-20th century saw a number of developments and changes in the way cinematic language and technique was being utilized in film. Given the huge economic and social impact of World War II on all of Europe, particularly France, new ways of expressing the anxieties and concerns of the people had to be created. The French New Wave (or nouvelle vague) was born as a result of this post-war reconstruction and reflection, allowing European cinema to transition from dark, serious looks at the gritty realism of life (as evidenced by Italian neorealism) to worlds of stylized editing, frenetic energy and a sense ...

Abstract

Depression is a major concern of the modern day medical and health sector. Various national entities have thus employed varying methodology in the aim of mitigating and reversing its negative effects. Policymaking is therefore more focused on the depression-enhancing case scenarios, with various measures being formulated and implemented towards tackling the same. Additionally has been the need of enhancing the treatment measures, methodology and procedures requisite towards greater treatment of depression. Notably, has been the need for a paradigm shift, with regard to viewing depression as not only an ailment or symptom of other biological ill functions, but also as a social ...

Drinking alcohol means different things to different people. For some, it is often a social activity associated with pleasure, leisure, and relaxation. It may also be a response to peer pressure, thus fulfilling the need to fit in and belong. Having too much alcohol or binge drinking is associated with serious and chronic illnesses as well as violent and reckless behaviors that compromise the health and safety of the drinker including the people around them. Although an increasing number of women also drink, there seem to be variances compared to men. This paper hypothesizes that alcohol has a differential impact on women’ ...

Introduction

Regarding the contentious issue such as gun control, several advocacy groups representing their side of the claim on the matters of public safety and gun control have weighted on mixed public opinions. There are large majorities that support policies to control the manufacturing and sale of firearms to insinuate safety of the greater public from criminals acquiring firearms. However, pro-gun advocates are extending their opinion on the grounds of each individual’s self-protection of life and properties. Some individuals have praised the effectiveness of gun control in reducing crime rates in the United States. These individuals believe that gun ...

Abstract

The aim of this research paper is to analyze the social networking phenomenon and its impact on interpersonal communication. A thorough examination of the topic suggests that social media has become the primary medium of communication for the past few decades which may be a key factor for the significant amount of attention they receive. Social media today, especially social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, have become more than a means of exchanging written messages. Such sites are used extensively to share photographs, videos, organize and coordinate events, corporate marketing and networking. The study found that users mainly use ...

Epistemology relates to the pursuit of knowledge and science – it raises questions about the nature of knowledge, the way in which we acquire it, and how to verify that this knowledge is, indeed, true. Plato’s thoughts on epistemology had a profound effect on his metaphysics, including the theory of Forms. According to Plato, the theory of Forms has a profound effect on how man interacts with the world around him. This manifests itself in graining true knowledge through Forms to understand the nature of being, as well as possessing strong ethics, which leads to living together gracefully through politics. This unique ...

Abstract
Negative (opposing or intimidating) events arouse robust and speedy physiological, rational, emotive, and social reactions. This organization of the organism is accompanied by physical, cognitive, and interactive results that diminish, lessen, and even wipe out the influence of that incident. This array of mobilization-minimization seems to be bigger for undesirable events than for unbiased or positive happenings. Hypothetical explanations of this response form are reviewed in this paper. Further, it will give a verdict on whether negative bias has been helpful or harmful to the process of human evolution. It is established that ...

Homeschooling parents are at times seen as isolated, self-centered, and reclusive. They keep their children away from the markedly valuable commonplace school, the environment where children acquire the essential knowledge and experiences that equip them with the required skills to successfully deal with civic and societal demands. Levin and Belfield (2003) report findings that “private schools produce more community service, civic skills, civic confidence, political knowledge, and political tolerance than public schools” (Ladd & Goertz, 2014, 222). However, it is incorrect to portray homeschooling as dispossession or removal of schools of their valuable purposes. It is widely known ...

The Hollywood industry has faced tremendous changes since the beginning of operations. The industry deals with movie production and has moved from the times of high theater movie attendances, for instance, by the year 1929, four-fifth of all American population, which makes up around ninety-five million people who attended the movie theaters, weekly (Epstein, 2009). The Hollywood industry is therefore controlled by the movie producers, the film owners, the directors and the movie stars themselves. The concept of popcorn economy on the other hand, revolves around productive resources being limited. As a result, Hollywood is in the process of ...

Abstract

There exist numerous defenses to criminal charges. The defenses are usually used by the persons facing particular charges in a bit to negate the requisites of a crime, especially the aspect of intent. In criminal cases the general rule is that crimes are offences that are usually committed against the government. Every person is usually presumed innocent until the contrary is proved. As such, the burden of proof lies on the government to prove that a crime was committed and that the accused person committed the alleged crime. The prosecution side, which represents the government in a criminal trial, must convince the judge ...

Abstract

Homelessness in the world is significant humanity problem, which while many will acknowledge needs to be resolution, they also seemed to be unmoved with making a change. The stigmatization associated with homeless people is spread through the misinterpretations of the reasoning of how the individual arrives at their situation. This is largely a problem for the ever increasing population of homeless youth which has risen in the last several years due to the economic situation and familial factors in which self-determination and perseverance take priority. The problems that many homeless individuals face as well as youth is the lack of healthcare. ...

- Introduction and Thesis Statement
Sociologists believe that both deviance and race are things that have been socially constructed in the society and have been embedded in people’s way of life (Innes, 2003, p.34). Deviance attributes to the actions of one defiling the social norms engrained in the society, which causes one to be marginalized in a given society. Race is also a social construct of the society based on one’s phenotype, which often results to the stereotypes of certain people in the society (Lemelle, 1995, p.56). This paper will discuss how race impacts deviance behavior and sparks a ...

Introduction

In the post cold war era, there was widespread hope for the end of armed conflict. However, such hopes were belied. Instead of long-drawn standoffs between the major powers of the world, the nature of conflict became more variegated and localized. Added to the larger number of smaller scale conflicts was the new phenomenon of a ‘clash between civilizations.’ Islamic movements challenged the supremacy of the United States, which had emerged as the sole superpower on the global stage. The new realities have forced the United States to continue to deploy military ...

For the context of this motivation case analysis, I have chosen to analyze myself in terms of my level of motivation and ways in which I can improve it, consequently improving the motivation and academic outcomes of my students. After analyzing my case through the lens of social cognitive theory and self-determination theory (SDT), I have determined that I have a lack of self-efficacy for completing tasks and engaging with students who require help. I also have poor stress management, as the pressures of completing classroom tasks and day-to-day education administrative work diminishes my motivation to teach and engage. Therefore, ...

A concept perpetuated by many different motivational experts and self help experts states that if a person wishes to achieve success there are simple steps that can be taken to effect such a goal. A common one is positive visualization. A series of four experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that positive visualization could increase the likelihood of desired outcomes in different endeavors. The results of these experiments showed the opposite effect. Positive visualization actually drew ambition away from the very activities that were required to ...

The evolution of real estate infrastructure serves as among the most compelling signs of economic growth. One could ...

HS201: Day/Time

Polls have illustrated that there may be a correlation between sleep duration, sleep quality (level of sleep disturbance) and levels of stress (American Psychological Association, 2012; National Sleep Foundation, 2009). Self-reporting of sleep and stress levels may indicate trends, but this relationship needs to be established by utilizing proper scientific methodology so that relationships can be quantified. In this study, the relationship between sleep and stress will be explored using students in HS201.

STEP 1: Hypothesis Generation

It is hypothesized that amongst students of HS201, levels of stress will be negatively correlated with both sleep duration and sleep score. The independent variable is the ...

Osteoporosis refers to a disease that is characterized by reduced bone mass as well as bone tissue deterioration. The disease results in an increase in the fragility of the bone and increases the chances of bone fracture. The bones that are at risk of breaking include bones of the spine, hips, shoulders and wrist. Osteoporosis is commonly referred to as a silent thief since the loss of bone mass occurs with no symptoms appearing. Incidents of fractures resulting from osteoporosis occur more often than a combination of stroke, heart attack and breast cancer. The disease is also the most common bone disease ( ...
