Studies Have Shown Research Papers Samples For Students

Abstract

Domestic violence is a worldwide issue. In 1993, the United Nations General Assembly created a declaration to help eliminate violence against women. Since then, ample research has been conducted on both the effects and individuals who conduct domestic violence. Over the years, researchers have discovered that certain personality traits that become apparent in childhood are also apparent in perpetrators of domestic violence. These studies suggest that children and adolescents who display these personality traits should be placed in early intervention treatment in order to limit the likelihood of domestic violence abuse during adulthood. The following discusses five different personality ...

Youth unemployment has had disastrous effects in history, as proven through different research and findings. Traditionally youth unemployment has had negative effects on the development of nations, leading to critical situations such as increased dependency rates and on an extension basis raised poverty rates as well. Not only does youth unemployment have adverse economic effects, but it also affects the society. Countries which have a high rate of young people with no jobs tend to have higher crime rates because often they indulge in petty crimes to make ends meet. Moreover, educated youth that faces employment failures often have been ...

Campus Violence and Policies of Primary and Secondary Schools in Michigan

It is pertinent to note that violence has evolved from just targeting students. It could sometimes involve school staff and even the school administration. The issue of violence and disciplines are often addressed as a unit, but there should be different ways of dealing with both cases because more often than not, violence often overtakes disciplines issues and needs further investigations and probing (School Safety and Violence, 2016). Acts of violence are often common, and they could occur repeatedly. Despite the severity of violence, school administrators often ignore them, in some cases, it often goes unreported, hence, increasing the ...

The short-term and long-term effects of child abandonment and neglect are not things to be taken lightly (Trocme & Wolfe, 2001). Statistics indicate that child abandonment and neglect contribute to nearly half of all annual fatalities associated with child maltreatment (Erickson & Egeland, 2002). This paper opines that annual deaths associated with child neglect can be reduced by half if decent measures are established to minimize child abandonment and neglect.
In addition, statistics indicate that child neglect or abandonment tops the list of child abandonment charts. This form of child maltreatment is not only the hardest to evaluate, but also ...

The graduation rate for Hispanic students has risen, but the dropout rate for Hispanic students is still the highest among their African-American, Asian, and White peers. This results in too few Hispanics enrolling in college or other higher education programs, which segues into low employment rates and a higher level of poverty within Hispanic families. Hispanics are the fastest-growing ethnic minority in the United States today. Hispanic children are an important part of America’s future. Taking into account their growing numbers, they are going to become a crucial part of the work force once they reach adulthood. They are going ...

Bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) is a term used to define a number of surgical interventions used to treat extremely obese patients. In the past decade, many patients have chosen bariatric surgery as a treatment option for obesity. In 1998, doctors performed 13,000 procedures compared to over 220,000 in 2008 (Farraye & Forse 13). It is highly likely that this trend will continue because of the growing epidemic of obesity in the developed world. This paper holds the position that bariatric surgery is effective for treating morbid obesity but medical practitioners should not glorify it as a cure because it is expensive ...

Introduction

Regular exercise is known to be a therapeutic lifestyle factor. It is not a drug, but it possesses many traits of a powerful pharmacologic agent. Routinely performing physical activity (PA) stimulates many beneficial physiologic changes in the body (O’Keefe, 2012). Age is associated with increases in body weight, body fat, and abdominal fat. Besides as age advances, many people tend to spend time in sedentary activities. Fifty-five to sixty years is the age when people retire from their services; and this sets a sedentary lifestyle for most. Sedentary lifestyle, as is widely known, is associated with obesity, diabetes, cancer, and/or cardiovascular diseases ( ...

Abstract

The hippocampus is a part of the limbic system found in the temporal lobe. Hippocampal neurogenesis, the ability of the hippocampus to generate/produce new neurons all through to adulthood, has been linked to emotion moderation, spatial navigation, learning, memory, and cognitive function. These functions are usually impaired in depression and anxiety and hence the speculations that hippocampal neurogenesis plays a critical role in the etiology, pathophysiology and even the treatment depression and anxiety. The hippocampal neurogenesis hypothesis attempts to explain the role of hippocampal neurogenesis in the development of depression and anxiety based on findings from various studies. Findings that neurogenesis ...

In the United States, the legal drinking age is 21 years as prescribed by the laws. However, the individual states are allowed to set their own legal drinking age. Some of the states have lowered the drinking age to 18 years. However, most of the states have maintained that the legal drinking age should remain to be 21 years. Looking at the neighboring countries and the developed countries like United States, the legal drinking age is 18. This is for countries like United Kingdom, France, Australia, Germany and china. Research has shown that 78 percent of the people in ...

In the world, about half of marriages of 25-40-year-olds end in the collapse, and in the majority of these families have children. Influence of divorce of parents on the psychological state of children of their future life cannot be overestimated. Family is the most important thing for a child. It satisfies the basic children's psychological love, communication, security needs. From the first days of birth the baby learns how to feel, to love, to trust. The child learns the example of parents to build further relationships, perceive the good, to experience crises (Pickhardt, 2011). Therefore, destruction of the family ...

Over the past four decades, obesity and its related conditions have been on a sharp rise in the United States as well all over the world.

Oil Prices and Exchange Rate

Oil price dynamics have a bearing on the ability of multinational to precisely model the future exchange rates. In most instances, in order to manage the foreign exchange rate risk that the firm is exposed in the international business arena, most multinational will hedge against the risks that are associated with exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, these multinationals minimize the possible ...

Abstract

In the society today, everyone desires to remain young, active, and self-dependent. However, the forces of nature do not allow human beings to survive forever in the environment. People have to die for others to be born (Aldrich, Kiyota, Arnold, & Tanaka, 2015.). Everyone must go through old age if they successfully escape from other fatalities that cause pre-mature deaths. Our society treats senior citizens differently. Some are respected, others are mocked and ridiculed, others are stigmatized, and worse, others go through very difficult life experiences such as taking care of the young(Chapter 14 the Resilience of Elders of ...

Introduction

World-wide, adoption has become a widely accepted alternative to birthing children. Throughout the United States, approximately 135,000 children are adopted each year (Claridge, 2014, p. 112). In every adoption case, an adoption triad is developed. This adoption triad consists of the adopted parents, the adopted child and the birth parents. This paper attempts to analyze the grief that is experienced throughout the adoption triad, as well as the different counseling models that can be implemented in order to assist these individuals.

Modeling Exchange Rates

Oil price dynamics will have a bearing on the ability of multinational to precisely model the future exchange rates of the foreign exchange in the countries that they operate. In most instances, in order to manage the risk that the firm is exposed in the international business arena, especially on the foreign exchange rate, most multinational will hedge against the risks that are associated with fluctuations in the exchange rate thus minimizing the possible negative effect that a firm may experience (Jain, 2007). Therefore, in order to take a position in hedging facilities such as currency futures, the firm ...

Research has shown that violence is a way of life for the gang members because it is their main system of justice. The paper also identifies the measures that state agencies should use to curb the illicit trade and save the society from the terror that is associated with this trade. The research has shown that the drug ...

As early as Biblical times, dreams have been given a special place; in ancient Egypt, Joseph’s interpretation of pharaoh’s dreams had awarded him an honorary place among his advisors, and was said to have saved Egypt from starvation.
Working with dreams in therapy implies a belief that that dreams are meaningful and provide added value to the therapeutic process. Studies have shown that dreams can be influenced by a certain psychopathology, and that their content and patterns (e.g. recurring dreams, nightmares) reflect a person’s wellbeing (Pesant & Zadra, 2004).

Crowded developed cities offer many opportunities for career pursuit, among others, to people living in them. However, like almost anything else, there are two sides of the same coin. Big, crowded cities can become the bearers of great problems, including crime, poverty, and homelessness, not to mention the high greenhouse emissions that citizens of crowded cities have to live with, breathing harmful substances released in the air on a 24/7basis and becoming ill. Apart from that, the more people are gathered in a place, the more susceptible they are in accidents. With the number of drivers on a constant rise the last ...

The observation is a study of altruistic behavior of adults toward strangers. One goal in the study is to determine if the presence of an audience motivates a person to be charitable. Hudson and Bruckman (2004) theorized an individual of a particular personality will respond more to the opportunity to participate in a charitable contribution if others are aware of the donation. This may be evidenced in a donation when the plate is passed n church when a person feels others are watching. Some religious organizations include an envelope to conceal the amount of the donation. In this way, the individual is acknowledged as donating ...

The world has changed quite dramatically over the past fifty years and how people use their free time has become very different than it used to be. People have always played games to pass the time, but these games used to be physical rather than digital. Games such as checkers or chess were played. Or people spent their free time reading books, talking, or doing work since life for many people in times past required more work. The very first video games can be traced backed to the 1950s, but these were simple simulations that did not have the ...

Literature Review

The United States profile of HIV prevalence and incidence shows considerable disproportionate distribution of various aspects of the pandemic among male and female population as well as among different races. HIV infection is a serious communicable disease that has necessitated heavy government expenditure in a bid to minimise its incidence and prevalence. Studies have shown that the distribution of HIV prevalence and incidence rates differ between African-Americans and Whites and from one gender to another. Other studies have also sought to determine factors that may have led to this finding.
HIV prevalence has been reported to be higher among African-Americans ...

1a. Can everyone chose healthy eating to prevent Type 2 Diabetes?

People usually say that we are what we eat, as a means to draw attention to the quality of our food intake. A healthy lifestyle is undoubtedly a strong ally to one’s well-being. However, the right to healthy eating seems to be rather one-sided, marginalizing those that cannot afford healthy living. There are communities that are forced to develop and live with diabetes, in a moving fast-forward world where technological wonders and advancements amaze.
Research has shown that low and middle income countries represent the vast majority of the overall number of people with type two diabetes (International Diabetes Federation, n.d). ...

Growth and development is a continuous process that proceeds in a systematic and sequential manner. This process takes place in stages where a child is supposed to overcome the challenges of a given stage before proceeding to the next level. Although most children grow and develop effectively, some are unable to proceed to the next stage as they develop different types of cognitive and childhood disorders, which affect their normal development.
Attention-Deficient/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) remains one of the most prevalent and common psychiatric and psychopathological disorders affecting about five percent of school going children worldwide. Approximately 6-12 percent of school going children ...

Over the last 9 years, research analysts from different universities around the world have been carrying out studies aimed at finding out the specific effects of video games on both the children and adults. From these research studies, it emerged that video games may have positive and negative effects depending on the situation at hand and the type of game that is being played. One major problem that has been pointed out by different research analysts is the fact that video games may cause addiction in the brain leading to confusion between reality and fiction. They say that this ...

Timing of Puberty

The timing of maturity of girls varies from one community to another because different communities have different beliefs of when their girls mature. The expected age of maturity of a girl depends on the community that one comes from even though it is averaged to be between 9 to 15 years. However, there are some instances when some girls experience earlier maturity than what is expected in their community. Some girls are not affected negatively by this occurrence. However, study has shown that some of the girls experience psychological problems when this occurs. Girls are the most affected by early ...

There has been variations in population of smoking college students throughout the globe especially for past 20 years. These variations were due to the differences in the smoking bans and lifting bans in colleges by the governments. It is estimated that a typical smoker starts smoking before reaching the age of 24 years. This factor makes it very important to consider the smoking habits of college going students who generally fall under the age of 24 years. Smoking students not only consume a major portion of tobacco products but are also the long lasting customers for tobacco companies. They ...

Light and heat are the common types of radiation that human beings know. This is because the two can be seen and felt. However, there are other kinds of radiation that cannot be detected by human beings. In many cases, human beings constantly receive this invisible radiation either from the ground, air or sky. They can as well be found in processed drinks and foods. Ionizing radiation can be used in many fields; including hospitals where doctors use X rays in the diagnoses of injuries and other disease; industrial unit where they are used in checking repairs in components ...

Should Schools Decrease Class Sizes to Improve Student Outcomes?

Introduction
The idea that by reducing class sizes the students will automatically perform better and thus achieve higher grades may seem logical; i.e. that if the student-teacher ratio is lower, then the teacher can spend more time with each individual in the class. Also, that there is less likely to be disruption with a smaller number of students in the same room. It is a topic that has long been discussed, argued, and to some extent has also been tried, and has been the subject of various research studies over a considerable number of years.
Much of the research has ...

Vitz (1999) published this paper based on research which he claims highlights “the serious family decline of the last few decades.” Although his paper examines a number of factors contributing to that perceived decline, his opening remarks place the largest portion of blame on the shoulders of fathers – men who have “abandoned their role in the family.” ...

Issues in Special Education: Inclusion of Students with Special Needs

Background
In the world over, the concept of inclusion of people with disability, particularly inclusion in education, is increasingly becoming a vital issue of concern as several attempts are being made to offer people with disability similar opportunities that are available to people who do not have any impairment of any kind. Ideally, children are considered disabled in learning if, for some reasons, they are not able to learn normally as their counterparts with similar ages and as Holt (2004) documents, disabled are not able to use the same learning facilities as the ones used by their counterparts. Additionally, ...

Disruptive Behavior Disorders as Predictors of Adult Criminality

Disruptive behavior disorders are characterized by high rates of defiant, hostile, and non-compliant behaviors, which usually include hyperactivity and aggressiveness (Fonagy, Target, Cottrell, Phillips & Kurtz, 2005). According to DSM-IV, these behaviors can be categorized under the following headings: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders (ADHD), conduct disorder (CD), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) (Fonagy et al., 2005).
Conduct disturbance covers a broad range of behaviors that manifest in somewhat different ways at various ages of the same child across various settings. The symptoms of disturbances of conduct are often subjective as they can range from merely annoying behaviors such as temper tantrums, whining, ...

Effects of Advertisements on Children

It should come as to no surprise that each day, one gets to see almost a dozen of advertisements from print to video. Everywhere one turns, there will be an advertisement for a brand or a government project. Many see this as a way of life, others see it as a visual nuisance, while there are those who are immediately enticed to try out the product for various reasons. However, if one looks closely at these advertisements, it would be obvious that they are targeting a specific age group. Many parents and educators would raise their eyes if they noticed this hidden strategy of companies ...

Hygiene refers to the practices that communities perceive as upholding or preserving healthy living, while an infection is an attack of parasites on a host organism.

1.0 Introduction
Imprisonment is defined as a means of punishing wrong doers through their exclusion from society for a given period of time. The period of time is determined by the nature of the crime. The aims of imprisonment are as follows: to express society’s disapproval for the act committed by the prisoner, to atone for the crime perpetrated and to offer the offender an opportunity to come to the realization of the real impact of their act. Imprisonment ensures that the offender does not get an opportunity to further harm the society by repeating the crime. The time ...

Accumulating evidence indicates that bullying is by far the most prevalent form of violence in our societies. Alarming figures from schools in addition show that between 15-30% of children are either authors or victims of bullying. Research findings also indicate that whilst verbal abuse remains constant throughout the different school levels, physical bullying increases in elementary school peaking during middle school and decreasing in high schools. The American Medical Association estimates that more than 3.7 million children engage in bullying while approximately 3.2 million kids become victims of moderate or serious bullying annually (Cohn and Canter).
Bullying can ...

Previous observational and interventional studies have shown that regular physical exercise may be associated with reduced symptoms of depressions. The degree to which exercise training may reduce depression symptoms in elderly patient with extreme cases of depression disorders hasn’t been evaluated though. However, it has been found that patients who receive antidepressant would respond faster at the initial stages when compared to those who could take both antidepressants and training. Cases of less severe depression, respond more rapidly through exercise than those with more severe depression symptom. It has been noted that exercise would bring the same results ...
