Peer mediation decreases the level of conflict in urban schools. The conflicts in school could be initiated from factors within the school, or outside the school.

At least that is what the literature review reveals concerning the perspective of the students on such measures . According to Frost, “The Continue reading...

Over the past generations, offering education to students with special needs had always been complex. Those who had learning disabilities were usually segregated from the mainstream, not just in education but also in social and economic activities. These youngsters were usually the ones who suffer, mainly as an effect of their sensory impairments or their physical disabilities, which went against their acquisition of new knowledge. Since then, it was believed that “human bodies must conform to a certain standard or norm” (Wang, 2009, p.154).

Teaching Sustainable Sciences to Elementary Students: Strategies of Approaches

Davis and Smithey (2008) conducted research about effective strategies in teaching Science to elementary student. Davis and Smithey’s longitudinal research spanned 10 years during which the researchers studied patterns, strategies, and iterations of Science teaching methods for elementary students. Based on the outcomes of research, Science teaching for elementary students must be inquiry-based and collaborative between the teacher and the learners. In teaching science concepts including sustainability, teachers should interact with students by providing them opportunities to formulate and communicate their own ideas. In a lesson about sustainability, for instance, teachers may make lessons collaborative by asking the Continue reading...

Qualitative: A Literature Review
Undergraduate students taking courses related to human health have various perceptions of the behavior exhibited by their peers, which may affect their health. Ridder, Heuvelmans, Visscher, Seidell, & Renders (2010) argue that there is a relationship between the actual behaviors reported about students and perceived behavior by the medical students in Netherlands. The authors used a sample of 1608 students issued with questionnaires regarding the number of students engaged in alcohol consumption. Riddler et al., found that the perceptions of medical students tend to overestimate the levels of consumptions for cigarettes and alcohol. Jones & Rossiter (2008) Continue reading...

It is from this aspect that this paper draws its premise. This paper aims to look at one Continue reading...

Problem-oriented policing (POP)

Problem-oriented policing is a police strategy that involves in the analysis and evaluation of a specific crime to create effective responses. This approach involves root cause analysis that identifies the reason/reasons behind the occurrence of a specific crime. The strategy then evolves on solving these reasons and eliminating the foundation for the crime. This strategy was formulated by Herman Goldstein in 1979. This model was expanded by John Eck and William Spelman in 1987. They jointly designed the SARA model. The SARA model is Scanning, Analysis, Response and Assessment (COPS, 2015).

Mark Twin famously advised aspiring novelists to “write what you know,” and F. Scott Fitzgerald based much of This Side of Paradise on his own personal life. He grew up in the Midwest, studied at Princeton, served in the Army, and partied in New York City. Fitzgerald used these experiences to write his first novel, featuring Amory Blaine, a quintessential privileged and self-entitled snob. The narrative traces his experiences and philosophical development from a spoiled teenager to a hapless adult; lost and incapable of any real action. However, the novel is a traditional American coming of age story, and Continue reading...

Abstract

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD) is an anxiety disorder that is related to serious traumatic experiences and events. Different tools have been devised to assess PTSD.

The IES-R instrument functions in such a way that the observation of the cut-off score or the kappa coefficients helps one assess and evaluate PTSD. The IES-R can be used to do repetitive measurements with the objective of monitoring the progress among PTSD individuals. Continue reading...

Technology has getting more advanced each year, especially in the field of robotics. Moreover, not only the robots are getting advanced, but they are more useful, more intelligent and more independent than from the past.

I believe the theme of the poem is confusion over why a school full of children was told a man had committed suicide. Furthermore, it appears the poem is about why the children were lied to, as they were sixth graders, and if they did not know already, it would not take them long to understand it was not an accident, but rather a deliberate suicide. Another possible theme could be Davis’ confusion over why anybody would take their own life. Several pieces of imagery suggest these themes.
For example, in the opening of the poem, Davis is unsure Continue reading...

According to the Oxford Dictionary of English (2010), a slumlord is “A landlord of slum property, typically one who charges extortionate rents”. Concurrently, the literature on slum proprietors and slum dwellers provide two distinct ways of defining a slumlord, each revolving around the given definition. First, based on property ownership, some of the literature identifies a slumlord as the proprietor of an area befitting the characteristics of a slum. According to the United Nations' Human Settlements Program (2012) slums have “deplorable living and environmental conditions and are characterized by inadequate water supply, poor sanitation, overcrowded and dilapidated housing" (p.99).

Is Marji freer in Austria? How or how not?

Marji is safe but not any freer in Austria. She was safer in a sense that she no longer has to endure the terrors brought by the war in her country. In addition to this, she does not have to experience the judgment passed on by her contemporaries and teachers at school due to her strong character in Austria. “I think that the reason we were so rebellious was that our generation had known secular schools” (Satrapi 98). However, as it turned out, she was surrounded with a bunch of people who take for granted the freedom they were Continue reading...
