Essays on Aggression

Purpose of the study

Self-stimulatory behaviors are common among children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (Cunningham & Schreibman, 2008). Aggression is also a common behavior problem among children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (Hill et al., 2014). Various scholars have suggested that an association exists between the self-stimulatory behaviors found in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders and aggressive behavior, another common behavior challenge (Dominic et al., 2007 and Kanne & Mazurek, 2011). The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship that exists between the self-stimulatory behavior and aggressive behavior in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

Introduction and Literature Review Draft

Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders present with various behavior challenges (Ludlow, Skelly & Rohleder, n.d.).

This behavior entails the repetitive body movements. The self-stimulatory behavior in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder is related with various senses. Some of the senses highlighted by Edelson (2017) include visual senses such as hand-flapping repetitive blinking, and staring at lights. The self-stimulatory behavior involving the auditory senses include the snapping of fingers and the tapping of the fingers. Others senses that are related ...

PMS- as a defense

According to the various cases described where women turned excessively violent and killed people in a rage, their ascribed behavior has been linked with PMS as a trigger which led to these incidents. PMS is experienced by women before and during menstruation due to the hormonal changes in this time period. It can lead to depression, anxiety and when situations seem unbearable, women are believed to turn excessively aggressive and violent. In my opinion, PMS is not enough to be credited as a major or ultimate reason of why women can become aggressive, violent and murderous at a distressing ...

In addressing the issue of religious values, the authors of two books, Confucius Lives Next Door: What Living in the East Teaches Us about Living in the West and Children of Dust: A Portrait of a Muslim as a ...

A social network comprises of the people who are close to an individual, who can share various aspects of life, and who a person turns to in case of a problem. The network can range from family members to friends, but they all have one thing in common, that they are joined by friendship. My social network comprises largely of my ...

Forever 21 is one notable example of apparel companies competing, primarily, over Millennial customers. Forever 21, operating in seven countries in addition to Europe, is a notable example of an established apparel player adapting to continuous changes in apparel ...

Violence and aggression are the hallmark of old patriarchal societies where men’s supremacy was the main value underpinning a family. However and unfortunately, it would be too early to talk about such type of social structure using the past tense, since even in our today’s open-minded world patriarchal families based on men’s violence and women’s oppression are not a rare case. While trying to understand why such a situation could take place and why Beth could follow and obey her husband so long, it would be helpful to address the theoretical approach suggested by Andersen ...

Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

The Main Features of Introverts' behavior in the social environment

As is known, introversion is one of the most common categories or indicators to measure personality traits. Introverts are people whose personality traits are very different from those of other people, who can also be called extroverts. Introverts tend to accumulate their energy and direct it to their inner world, while extroverts waste their energy on the interaction with the outside world. If an extrovert needs a constant dialogue with the people, an introvert can successfully do without it. An introvert is capable of minimal contact, which is also necessary, but it happens rarely and only in the companies ...

Music is the binding structure for the society as it mimics the standard beliefs of people. A community fond of listening to a certain music is likely to emulate the values portrayed by the lyricist. It is right to say that the creators of music play a fundamental role in instilling virtues and also vices to the society as a whole. Celebrities are universally recognized due to their works of art that they produce. Claiming that they have no influence is misguided and totally wrong. I believe that music has a significant role in escalating violence in individual towns ...

Preamble

Autism Speaks (2012) argues that autism spectrum disorders are not the causes of the challenging behaviors that are witnessed in children diagnosed with the disorders.

The following is an annotated bibliography with the sources that offer insight on why individuals with autism spectrum disorder engage in challenging behavior. Connie, A. (2011).

The complexities of racism, and the ways in which society should end it, remains intriguing fodder for literature. Some of the most intriguing portrayals of these arguments are in Frances Watkins Harper’s “The Slave Auction” and “The Slave Mother,” Luis Valdez’s “Los Vendidos,” and Zitkala-Sa’s School Days of an Indian Girl. While Harper’s direct, anguished portrayals of the evils of the slave trade elicit an implicit argument to stop these practices and end their pain, Valdez is more explicit in his call for aggressive revolution and demolishing of stereotypes, and Zitkala-Sa similarly advocates for a ...

The primary difference between the speeches President Woodrow Wilson gave before Congress in January 1917 and January 1918 was his tone.

While the focus of both speeches was the ongoing conflict in Europe and what the United States could do to help facilitate its resolution; the tone of the 1917 speech was more idealistic, hopeful and indefinite, and the 1918 speech was more practical, pessimistic and direct. In the 1917 speech, Wilson illustrated his hopefulness on the belief that the warring parties ...

Behavioral interventions can be grouped as either antecedent-based interventions (ABI) or consequence-based interventions (CBI). CBI is a group of practices in which the problem behaviors are addressed by manipulating the reinforcement or punishment stimuli following an observed behavior, whereas ABI refers to a group of behavioral interventions that are concerned with the modification of environmental factors that are believed to precede problem behaviors (Tullis, Cannella-Malone, & Payne, 2015). Therefore, ABI strategies are implemented before the problem behavior occurs, so their unique quality is the possibility of problem behavior prevention, which makes the behavioral change easier to maintain compared to results ...

In any type of company, one of the significant challenges for leadership is connecting industry knowledge and business analytics. Bartlett (2013) observes that these two components serve as the primary sources of information for decision makers. Managers generally hold much insight and wisdom in their accumulated experience, but unfortunately, any gaps in the facts are commonly filled with opinions (Bartlett, 2013). Instead of relying on subjective sources, leaders can utilize business analytics to validate new ideas and test industry beliefs (Bartlett, 2013). A starting point for effective business analytics is to recognize that data and information are not ends ...
