Essays on Classmates

It was a beautiful Friday morning when I woke up and prepared myself for the day. I knew it was not just going to be an ordinary day for me and my classmates plus other students. That day we were to go for a demonstration demanding from the administration that all students should be awarded their rightful marks for a particular class that we had undertaken mid-semester last year. The results were finally out, but nobody was happy with the results from that class. The professor who taught that class was known to lose papers once students submitted them, ...

Is it safe to allow teachers and students to carry guns? Will it be safer to give this permission only to the one group? These are difficult questions that create controversial opinions. News show schools, universities and other educational institutions had mostly negative impact of weapons. The history has many examples of deadly shootings in educational facilities. “23-year-old student Seung-Hui Cho [killed] 32 people in two locations and [wounded] an undetermined number of others on campus” (CNN Library) in the Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia. There are other examples of students who used guns to kill or wound people in ...

Once, when I was in school, around the age of fourteen, I ended up in a conversation with a boy who had bullied me in the past. I am not sure why he brought the subject up, but he began asking me about my sexual experiences (at fourteen!!!), wanting to know more about them. We were surrounded by our classmates (though there was no teacher), and I was so embarrassed, I wanted the conversation to stop, I wanted him to go away, I wanted to get away. I think, as well as being embarrassed at the conversation as a ...

Introduction

Japan is reported to have the world’s third largest economy, which gives it an essential role in the global community. This calls for the need to understand the Japanese people’s self-concept and how they hold themselves up as individuals and as members of the society. It has been widely established that self-concept is far from being a static perception, rather it is a changeable system which is generally a result of an individual’s social relationships. It is observed that people normally hold a different perception of themselves as individuals, and as a social group member. Consequently, ...

Infective learning strategies and incivility/bullying in the classroom

In the video, the teacher has been observed to have ineffective and poor teaching skills. The teacher lacked control over the students due to her inability to address the class to settle down, keep aside all mobile phones and electronic items and introducing the topic of the learning module (Gaberson, Oermann, & Shellenbarger, 2015). The teacher was focused more on the presentation and reading every bit from the slides without engaging the students to participate by discussion or asking questions. Many students were observed to openly converse with each other, play games, use cell phones, listen to music, and even ...

Restaurants should be required to provide customers with nutritional as well as content of food information. This would allow customers to make more specific and informed decisions regarding the food they are consuming. Making appropriate decisions regarding food intake allows customers with medical conditions to be more aware of the contents of their food. It also allows customers with particular food allergies to make appropriate decisions from the restaurant menu. And, this would allow customers that want or need to be aware of the nutritional value of food being consumed. Although many Americans do partake in dining out, there ...

Globalization and changing environment lead to improvement of cultural interactions between people and, thus, require new approaches to education. The diversity in schools and universities and different cultural and family background of students result in the new role of a teacher as a "guide" who is able to perceive each of his students as an individual with a personal set of skills and is able to find to each of them personal educational approach. It is especially challenging for early education when children just learn to interact with each other and to be tolerant. The terms "diversity" and "cultural ...

Abstract

The growing demand for the competitive specialists justifies the particular attention and concern to the Malaysian students’ reading comprehension skills from the Malaysian authorities. The introduction of teaching the Malaysian core school subjects in the English language (Yassin et al., 2009) provided the continual attempts and experiments to define the most efficient way to decrease achievement gaps in the reading of Malaysian pupils. Starting from the 5th grade, students extend their vocabulary through reading (Zubairi & Sarudin, 2009). The following research proposes the method of using “Reading Cues’ as scaffolding answering the closed or WH-questions to improve the performance of ...

So far there have been three the most popular ways of getting education: to attend a public school, a private school or to study at home. All of them, for sure, have advantages and disadvantages. It is worth mentioning that none of it can suit children perfectly well. Among advantages of going to a public school, for instance, are social and cultural interaction of children with their classmates and teachers, opportunity to get involved in different tasks and getting the right idea of how to overcome them. The same is about a private school, however, an additional advantage is ...

Abstract

This paper explores the concept of Marketing Mix as it applies to the effective selling of used textbooks. This product has been chosen because of its wasted earning potential for students who need to adapt to the rising cost of education. The Four Ps of Marketing – Product, Price, Place, and Promotion – are discussed in this paper as the application of each marketing component is vital to success in the sale of used school books. Like the four legs of a table, the four Ps complement each other and as such, weakness in one component can cause a collapse of ...

Political Research Theory: The Feminine Mystique

Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique is considered the commencement of major women’s liberation movements. The 1963’s publication is the most popular of Friedan’s works because it endeared the author to women during the 1960’s. Subsequently, the 1970s feminists noted that the views expressed in The Feminine Mystique established the cornerstone of their movement. In the work, Friedan examined the frequent unhappiness that women of the 1950s experienced on a daily basis. The author described such lack of happiness as “the problem that has no name” (Friedan 15). Typically, women experienced a constant feeling of ...

Many of us, when we think about our histories, do not realize how influenced we are by the institutions are us. Whether it is by religion, class, work, a different institution, or a combination of a few, who we become has much to do with what we witnessed, and what went on around us, how we were raised, and the opportunities that were presented to us in youth. In some cases, these institutions began before we were born. For me, it is a combination of institutions. While many played small roles in my upbringing, as well as who I ...

<Course> It is a fact that who we are today is a result of multiple influences, which include influences from different social factors (e.g., economy, education, religion, family, and many others). Personally, sociology in my everyday life has shaped the major decision that I made in the past. Specifically, my motivation to continue my studies and the faith that I hold have been highly influenced by several social forces that surround me. First of all, my motivation to continue my studies have been highly influenced by my family, especially my mother. Growing up, I have seen how my ...

Intervention Plan

Intervention Plan Every educational establishment deals with pupils or students that have to acquire a certain amount of knowledge. That is why every educational establishment sooner or later will have such students that won't be able to accomplish a program for various reasons. It can deal not only with studying problems but also with behavior deviations. In order to help pupils to reach the standards of an institution, a pupil studies in an intervention plan has to be developed.

I am a student, a wife, a sister, and a daughter. Currently, I take on many roles, but being where I am now is not without many struggles and challenges. Growing up, I faced several difficulties which helped me develop and grow as a person. Right now, I intend to be my best here at the University of Maryland University College or UMUC.

Challenges of Multiculturalism

In a world with a large number of issues undergoing the complicated process of resolving like racial and gender discrimination, it is of no wonder that heated debates and arguments have been happening in all corners of the society. Philosophers, sociologists and even functionalists have mustered up enough grounds to curiously question the origins and possible answers to these arguments. Moralists like the famous teacher-student duo, Socrates and Plato, have stimulated the intelligent minds of the people regarding the morals and virtues concerning the significance of the challenges that discrimination presents. Sociologists like Karl Marx and Max Weber have ...

An ethical and political issue that has been difficult for people to address is gay marriage. Many people have strong opinions about the topic of gay marriage and weather two people of the same sex should be able to legally get married. There is a torn view with people who think that marrying the same sex should be allowed and that everybody has the right to be happy and love who they want. On the other side, some people think that a marriage should be between a man and a women and not people of the same sex. Religion ...

Edgar Allen Poe: few names such as this one can strike both fear and adoration in hearts of literature students everywhere. As a writer, Poe was known for his macabre stories that often ended with characters becoming ill, being buried alive, or dying other gruesome, torturous deaths. The tone of his works is fairly consistent, with most of Poe’s work having a dark, moody, and an overall melancholy tone. With his stories being favored as a topic of research for many English students, I began to wonder about his personal life. What struggles was he grappling with that ...

Introduction

The movement from a certain state to another is known as a transition. The informal transitions are part of an individual’s daily life. An example of an informal transition is a movement from home to school or to work. In addition, the formal transitions are part of the individuals’ experiences. For example, a formal transition between institutions, a movement from home to a certain health institution. Another formal transition is the movement from early childhood education to school. Particularly, one of the major transitions is the transition from home to work or to school. The main reason of ...

Nowadays video games are popular not only among teens, but also among adults. Therefore, video games industry is a growing one, which can even cause addiction. However, most top selling video games are based on violence. That is why many people argue as to whether violent video games can cause people violence and whether the age of the players should be limited to 18 and older. Although the direct link between violent video games and people’s violence has not been established yet, it is a well-known fact that playing violent video games is the result of the aggression, ...

It is not a secret that school curriculum is literally the issue of wide all-national discussion. No wonder, the effectiveness of students’ education is the main prerequisite of human future. However, very frequently one allegedly insignificant detail is not taken into account: in particular, the spectrum of skills, on which the main emphasis is made. No doubt, there would be many people, who would fervently defense the opposite position, insisting on the fact that children do obtain all necessary skills. Nevertheless, this paper is aimed at the proving of simple statement that any curriculum, which considers art education as ...

Dear Mr._________,

This letter is to request for a final grade revision/ appeal for an assignment that I completed for the course The God of Philosophers (LEH355) taught by Professor Carl Brownson during the Fall 2013 semester. (Facts)

The first half of the semester was great and I enjoyed Professor Brownson’s enthusiasm for philosophy. At times, my classmates would chat continuously during class making it difficult for others to hear, but I still enjoyed ...

Instructional Planning

One possibility for a differentiated instruction could be found in looking at the activity relating to the political election advertisements. While the topic is effective and denotes the understanding of whether the advertisements are truthful, it could be a wonderful idea to allow some students to actually write a political election advertisement themselves and then have the classmates reflect on whether the advertisement is in fact truthful. This differentiation instruction addresses the element that students may need another may to complete the activity if they learn in different ways than one another. For example, this allows those ...

Abstract

The book "Mystics, Maverick and Merrymakers" talks about the Jews religion. The author gives a glimpse of the inner worlds and daily lives of the Hasidic girls. There are many characters mentioned in the book that have different characteristics. Some are portrayed as weak while others are seen as strong. A character is strong based on his or her degree of self-knowledge, ability to take responsibility for his action, ability to cope with difficulties and awareness of an event (Saddock and Virginia 49). These individuals grow and acquire new ideas from the challenges that face them. A weak character, ...

Disruptive behaviors are conditions that can have a great influence in the teaching environment. Disruptive behaviors unswervingly hinder the ability of the teacher or the capability of a learner to benefit from their classroom experiences. Students attend schools with hopes of being productive citizens of society. I like to think of students as future leaders of tomorrow! For the most part, students attend school because it is the law. A learning environment should have actively engaged students, who are eager to participate and show knowledge is being acquired on a daily basis. However, some students are bored and disengaged ...

Introduction

Within the last 10 years increased attention has been given to the LGBT community and their civil rights. The issues of gender are now being debated in schools and impacting educational communities. The term transgender has undoubtedly been a popular term in recent times. The idea of being transgender seeks to break down cultural norms of gender and categorizing. In this literature review the focus takes on different implications of how the LGBT community has impacted the way in which children are socializing. Schools are experiencing a SSA (Same Sex Attracted) phenomenon where young people are receiving a lot ...

Introduction

This literature seeks to explore the correlation between class issues and schooling based on an Australian model of study. Most of the authors in this review agree that there is a correlation between class issues and the way schools are perceived and operated. The rise of neoliberalism has led way to an induction of creating a greater divide between the haves and have nots. Australian schools have shifted from the dynamics of the 1970s and 1980’s where the idea of a more balanced school system was part of educational reform. However, as of 2009 this has shifted and ...

Popular television shows often reproduce and have a connection to real life gender, class, relationships, political ideas, religious identities among other issues (Dines & Humez, 2003). One needs to be attentive to television shows for a better understanding of how they portray these issues. This paper is going to focus on the television show Strangers with Candy which is a Comedy Central comedy series, and how it encodes real life issues such as the ones above. Strangers with Candy boldly covers difficult subjects ranging from alcoholism to mentally retarded persons having an affinity of baked deserts. The three main issues ...

My service project involved picking up trash on campus. Fifteen classmates, myself, and our instructor lined up on campus and walked to the plaze, picking up trash we found along the way. We were provided with trash bags and gloves to pick up the trash. I was surprised at the amount of trash that I saw on the path. I did this activity two times to fulfill my service project. As a result of my service, campus and the surrounding areas have less trash and is more appealing to see. After finishing the project, I felt proud of my ...

Facebook is a company and an online social networking service that is based in Menlo Park, California. It first was launched in 2004 by its founder, Mark Zuckerberg along with some of his classmates in Harvard University.

It was a beautiful sunlit morning, and our class was confined in a classroom taking a Math test our teacher gave us. There was nothing in that test that I didn't know: there were some fractions to solve, some proportions to do, and some graphs to draw. I felt quite confident, because I had studied for the test and cramming everything before the test actually did me good, as the blank with the test questions did not look so daunting to me. I quickly skimmed through all the tasks to determine the value of work I was to do, ...

Introduction

No one could have anticipated the scope of integration and pervasiveness of the internet in contemporary societies. Since its inception, the internet has undergone unprecedented growth in its reach and applications to become a staple in various sectors of the economy. A key technological revolution that accompanied its development was the emergence of social media as a primary platform for communication. Social media refers to web-based tools and services aimed at fostering community development through information sharing (Tarantino, McDonough, & Hua, 2013). They include blogs, wikis, sharing tools, networking platforms, media (e.g. video, audio, photo, and text), ...

Healthy families, promote the wellbeing of their family members through the provision of emotional support and companionship, positive relationships with the family members, economic security, the psychological and physical health of the family members.

Children draw from the synchrony and wellbeing of their parents, positive energy projected within a family gives rise to high immunity and mental health of ...

Introduction

Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter have become staple applications in the workplace and at home. Because of this, more of our friendships are developed and nurtured online. While social media gives the individual a sense of autonomy, and allows for freedom of expression, there are implications for those who use social media as a way of abusing, and terrorising others. The consequences of such behaviour can lead to the breakdown of face to face communication and the dissolution of relationships. On the extreme end, legal consequences can ensue for those who use social media to break the ...

Personal Ethics

There is absolutely no doubt for me that any contemporary society requires ethical values to be observed by everyone. These values are necessary because they would serve to regulate the relationship between people and set some particular rules of accepted behavior. Besides, basic universal values are already spread all over the world. Living in a society we are all interdependent. If I can rely on people around me, I am able to move forward without any feeling of fear or suspicion. Moreover, I am able to learn from these people how to be consistent, I learn what it means ...

Introduction

Though personality disorders are described by researchers as being widespread and incapacitating, there have been developments in the field, and they have focused on understanding this disorder with intent to treat (Lenzenweger, 2008). Settling on a comprehensive definition, assessment approaches and the management of these disorders has been problematic because of the varying dimensions and impacts to individuals and the general society (Clarkin, Lenzenweger & Meehan, 2015). According to Widiger (2003), individuals often have self-distinguishing approaches to creating and developing relationships, expressing their feelings and thinking. On the same, while some people are outgoing, others have been described as being ...

Admittedly, there is a correlation between the crime statistics and the frequency of or tendencies of the criminal behavior occurring at any given time and area. Usually, crime statistics is useful in forecasting future crimes, a situation that implies the relationship existing between the statistics and the trends in criminal behavior. From a theoretical perspective, the relationship between crime statistics and the frequency of a crime is based on the routine activities and the rational choice perspective. In essence, both of these principles imply that individuals are self-determining even as criminal activities are purposeful. Substantially, this theoretical constructs mean that offenders or those ...

For every child whether they experience delay or not, it is important to know that they will learn just as well provided they are given the right tools and that they are allowed to take part in the normal activities that go on around the schools and even in the surrounding environment (Friend, 2014). They should be exposed to this as allowed to do so to their best of their capabilities. It is not right to have the special needs children grow apart from those who are not affected in any way.

I disagree with my classmates who claim that watching television cannot make one smarter. This is because television is informative and tends to educate a person on the realities of the world. The media offer the current happenings in society. For instance watching, the episode of 24 one can integrate a lot of information. The Sleeper’s curve is a new force that alters the mental development of children to benefit their cognitive faculties. The media show violence, ethnic stereotypes, and stories of addiction not to promote bad behavior but to enlighten the young people. These kinds of programs are nutritional and ...

In school, I was almost intolerably ambitious. I was more than motivated, I was focused. This experience in itself, was very much centered on neglecting communication and balance so I could dedicate myself to personal projects and class work. At the time, it was the best thing I could do and, aesthetically, I was praised and envied for it. My singular choice was so fine-tuned that I was ahead of my classmates, and possibly better educated than my peers. However because of my high expectations, you can more or less agree that I’ve burned out after four years. ...

Chapter 6 – Learning

Firstly, the classical conditioning applied even before my early stages of learning. It created a positive experience for me during my elementary years since I associated school with having fun with my classmates and teachers. Back then, it was easier for me to deal with school because of the excitement and happiness of seeing my classmates and friends again. The classical conditioning worked by assuring me that school experience is a positive experience. On the other hand, classical conditioning also works when the bell rings and the class is over, it also brings a positive feeling for me since I can go ...

Mike Rose in his essay “I Just Wanna Be Average” narrate about his experience in vocational school, “ euphemism for the bottom level” (183). It was by mistake that Rose end up into that kind of a school. Nevertheless, he did not protest, he accepted vocational path as his own. Rose gives many details, providing full profiles of his teachers, classmates and surrounding. On one side are teachers who are not interested in what they are teaching, without real lessons plans, without skills and knowledge about topic that they are presenting.

Seemingly, Malcolm Gladwell believes that working for a famous company or attending an elite college may terminate a person’s dreams. The famous author uses the analogy of a big fish in a small pond in his latest book, “David and Goliath,” to overturn conventional notions regarding who should be an underdog and what makes for a disadvantage. Certainly, Gladwell opposes anyone attending a giant university or college, merely for the name, or doing something out of an inner drive for prestige.

Accordingly, the popular author, outlines that choosing something elite translates to accept to be like a little fish living in a big pond. ...

As a newly assigned K-12 teacher in a school district, one must accept the challenges that come from being a newly appointed teacher.
