Introduction

(2005), who first quoted the above definition for ethical leadership, had implied implicitly that, the leader’s intent is never ...

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).

Understanding society, and indeed the world, is a complex task that is unlikely to ever be fully achieved. There are various social theories that work to explain the workings of society, three of which are structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. The structural functional approach works on the idea that society is made up of systems that are beneficial to all concerned. However, there are substantial problems with this theory, as it does not acknowledge that certain structures need to change even if they seem to be working for the majority. Conflict theory asserts that society functions based ...

Social Action Theory

Anderson and Meyer (1988) use the following terminology to understand the social action theory: “For most of the history of research in mass communication, content has been seen as a silver bullet shot from a media gun to penetrate a hapless audience” (Anderson and Meyer 48). Media affects can be related to the social action theory by evaluating the negative effects of playing violent video games on children. A television show by CBS News further places emphasis on the role video games has on making children aggressive. The show clarifies that independent studies have proven that there is a ...

The Board of Education violated her right to privacy

The Board of Education disregarded Pettit's entitlement to privacy. She had devoted much of her time to work with the mentally challenged children for more than thirteen years and, all through her vocation, her assessments were constantly positive. Her sexual orientation in “Swingers” is outside her jurisdiction of her role as a teacher and the allocated working hours, and she is at liberty to do whatever thing as long as it does not meddle with her performance as a professional instructor. Based on the allegations leveled against her, her sexual activities have nothing to do with her qualifications or ...

Every business entity has the code of conduct that guides the actions of its employees. It is crucial for the management of the companies to ensure that the letter, as well as spirit of the principles, are observed.

The field of accounting has been one of the most affected sectors (Smith, Merlone, & Duffy, 2016). The employees often break most of these ethical guidelines willingly.

“Words/Meanings” from the Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer:

Foer’s article raised many interesting points. It is laid out rather like a dictionary, with a list of words followed by the author’s definitions and feelings around them. Some words were closely related to the topic of eating animals, for example, “Broiler Chickens,” and some more ambiguous, for example, “Desperation.” One of the most interesting words and meanings for me was “Suffering.” Foer discusses possible meanings behind this word and whether it is possible for someone to argue that animals don’t suffer. Suffering is a difficult term to define and to measure. The question becomes even ...

Multicultural Literature and Curriculum in Primary Grades

One book that can be useful in teaching multicultural education to primary grade children is ‘How to Define Cultural Diversity’ by Cheikh Diop. I choose this book because it is nonfiction and most of the terms are clearly defined for easy understanding. For instance, Diop begins by defining multiculturalism and cultural identity. One learning objective in the book that is appropriate for primary grade children is based on how it emphasizes the assertion that an individual’s personality is mainly composed of their linguistic, psychological, and historical forms, which every child can relate to (Diop, 1991). Diop also outlines ...

Importance of Emotional Intelligence: For HR Managers and Employees

While the term Emotional Intelligence has become a buzzword in organizational circles since the 1990s, sociologists and behavioural scientists argue that it not an entirely new phenomenon. Researchers such as Charles Darwin have written extensively about the human being’s innate capacity to identify, experience and understand emotional states; their own as well as that of others . A more formal definition of the term was presented by David Goleman, who quantified this so far subjective concept as “the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically” . There are several ...

Empathy refers to a person’s ability to imagine or feel the emotional experiences of another person. Research suggests that empathy is an important element of emotional and social development because it influences an individual’s behaviour towards others as well as the quality of the social relationships that a person develops (Gibbs 46). Antipathy encompasses the involuntary or voluntary dislike of a person or something. A nasty experience may induce antipathy in a person, but sometimes, it may occur in a manner that cannot be explained rationally in terms of cause and effect. Discipline is a practice that ...

Behavioural risk factor indicators are crucial in evaluating the success of a health promotion program aimed at preventing or reducing the prevalence of obesity within any given community (Institute of Medicine (U.S.) et al., 2005).

Ideally, the cure violence model is an approach that is widely used in public health to reduce gun related violence. According to the model, violence, especially gun violence, is analogous to communicable diseases that are passed from one individual to another if left untreated (Maltz and Rice, 2015). The model stops the proliferation of violence in different communities by using the approaches related to disease control and prevention. Some of the strategies include identifying and treating the high-risk individuals, identifying and interrupting conflicts, and changing day to day social norms. In most cases, the strategies lead to a reduction ...

The HBM was developed to be incorporated and adopted by healthcare services (Dardis MR, Koharchik LS, Dukes S. 2015). The HBM was developed by key psychologists in 1950 in the US. It is one of accepted theories in the US with ...

People used to behave foolishly and make a lot of mistakes during their life. For the most part, three years of Middle school is considered to be exactly such period of time. Middle school is also believed to be a quite dangerous territory. Children unnoticeably transformed into “teenagers”, a new title they are not fully aware of. Some misunderstand this title as the right to admit themselves better than the rest and even humiliate or offend weaker people. On the one hand, due to the maturity, many pupils began to notice considerable differences between people. On the other hand, ...

The Gender Discrimination in Criminal Justice System

Introduction Traditionally, women have not been viewed as criminals because of their less aggressive nature, making the act of crime to be mainly associated with the male gender.

Also, the criminal justice of the United States of America has been viewed as discriminatory because it fails to address the gender needs of female offenders whose number has increased over time. This essay discusses the historical perspectives, ...

The idea of bio-sociology that culture and biology are inseparable can be shown to be true on some occasions in the human life. Nature of an individual has the potential adaptive characteristics for some different behaviours. The behaviour of an individual will be affected either negatively or positively by the type of environment the individual is found in. A child exposed to criminal activities in his/her early life will be tempted to enter into that life to adapt to what his/she sees as normal life and way of doing things. Biology and culture are a mirror image of each ...

Risk perception is important as it examines people’s opinions when they are asked about ways they can evaluate and categorize hazardous activities. For the purpose of effective risk communication, having a sound knowledge of risk perceptions is indispensable (Slovic, ...

1) The well-known phrase, ‘a woman’s place is in the home’, quite clearly sums up the way women have been viewed by society.

These ideals were ingrained in them from a very early age. Hence most women confined their world view to acquiring domestic skills and maintaining an attractive physical appearance; both these factors were considered vital in finding a good husband, ...
