Nursing Problem

In the year 2012 alone, upwards of 305,388 were born to mothers aged between 15 and 19 years, representing a birth rate of 29.4/1000 women. While teen birth rates have been declining over the last few years, the rates remain high and represent a major nursing problem for a number of reasons. Firstly, teen pregnancy (along with the associated sexually transmitted diseases and teen parenthood), is higher in the US relative to other industrialized countries (Kohler, Manhart, & Lafferty, 2008; Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). While it appears that there’s little difference in the rate of Continue reading...

Introduction

“School shootings” generally evoke strong public reaction and outcry. The incidents of “school shootings” that took place between 1997 and 2001 showed that the USA is at the collapse of ethical values as a result of delinquency in the society. Indeed, the incident, “Columbine has become a keyword for a complex set of emotions surrounding youth, risk, fear, and delinquency in 21st Century America” (Muschert, 2007). The theorist Stein (2000) labeled “Columbine” a representation for the “crisis of youth” society.
Thus, considering the rising publicity and public sentiments regarding “school shootings,” the researchers have been figuring out the different Continue reading...

Leadership and Advocacy in Education: Preparation Guide

Introduction
Policy addressing diversity and special needs learners in education already exists. However, these policies are often interpreted and implemented in a manner that continue to exclude special needs learners from the general education classroom. For the purpose of this plan advocacy can be defined as supporting and defending the right to an education in the least restrictive environment for diverse learners. Diverse learners can be described as students who represent all dimensions of a human being: ethnic; cultural; gender; religious; language; mental and physical ability; socioeconomic class and immigration status. This plan specifically addresses students who have physical, Continue reading...

Introduction

Many factors affect the delivery and provision of education services. Factors change over time due to circumstances and trends. One of the factors that affect education is cultural. In “The American School: A Global Context from the Puritans to the Obama Era”, Spring (2011) explored the effect of diversity in education, as well as the challenges brought about by this phenomenon in the classroom and the school setting. Spring also raised the problems of cultural diversity, particularly in developing a curriculum that addresses the diverse needs of learners. One of the most compelling discussions in Spring’s work include Continue reading...

Competing for student athletes has acquired fiercer momentum over recent years. By assuming different images, elite and non-elite colleges and universities are pursuing different promotional and marketing strategies to attract student-athletes. Conventional promotional and marketing strategies include, for example, TV ads and on-campus bulletins and announcements. As new platforms of expression emerge – most notably New Media – universities are grappling with new ways to enhance brand equity and project specific images. Tapping into new social media as new platforms and means of promotion and brand marketing, universities are, indeed, responding to growing needs for developing more effective, recruitment strategies (Judson, Continue reading...

Over the years, the nature of sex education in our schools has changed quite radically, but a controversy between approaches still rages on. It probably all began with a scientific (and short) discussion of the birds and the bees, perhaps in a biology class—or no discussion at all--and it has evolved into the offering, in some states, of in-depth comprehensive sexuality classes wherein pleasure, desire, and emotions are addressed, along with birth control, homosexuality, and the avoidance of STD’s and HIV/AIDS. The teaching of total abstinence until marriage is still very prevalent too, though this approach has Continue reading...

Introduction

Statistics and probability theory is widely used in social researches. In this paper I will show how the basics of this theory may be applied to a real world problem. My goal is to investigate how education level and race are related. I believe that there is a significant difference between race and level of education. It is well known that the problem of racism is still relevant in present days. The recent researches shown, that racism is inherent to most educated people. But they are carefully hiding this fact. Taking in consideration that white people are more likely Continue reading...

English IV Period 1

Ever since I was a child, my mother always told me to dream big, shoot for the stars, and to always be realistic. That statement gave me encouragement to attend school. In our household it was never a question whether or not I was going to attend college or not, I just did not know which one I would attend. Once I started researching the different types of schools, in-state, out of state, private and community colleges, I realized that the tuition was approximately triple the amount of my entire life savings. “It never used to be that much” Continue reading...

Sports at colleges are not only an entertainment and camaraderie arena in which students, parents and professional sports scouts follow closely but are also a major source of revenue. According to a recent audited financial statement issued recently (Strachan), NCCA almost hit 1 USD billion at USD 989 million for FY2014. This is a sum which practically exceeds revenues achieved in smaller countries from major sources of income. Interestingly, NCAA revenue is, mainly, derived from marketing, advertising and sales sources, all of which promote popular student athletes on campus, TV (particularly giants such as ESPN) and on on-demand platforms. Continue reading...

Introduction

One of the most intricate, surprising, and enigmatic features of human behavior is creativity. The feature is especially fascinating given that many of the great explorations and exploitations in inventions and discoveries, as well as artistic expression, rely on top-notch creative thinking, and therefore it is one of the most important human traits (Kind & Kind, 2007). Early childhood on the other hand, is an important developmental period for humans. It is at this period that the ability to learn, make decisions, independence, relations with others, creativity and the feeling of self-worth develop (Prince Edward Island Department of Education and Continue reading...

Introduction

IELTS is an abbreviation of International English Language Testing System (Benadir University). This test is considered crucial for anyone who wants to work, live or study in an area where the English language is a necessity. The IELTS test is used to measure and assess one’s skills and abilities in using the English language. Most universities including international colleges ensure that international students who are majorly immigrants take the IELTS test as part of the eligibility criteria. Remarkably, some immigration programs go to an extent of conducting the IELTS test both to an individual and their spouse (Abhinav Continue reading...

An international student is defined in several ways for purposes of identification in research. The terms foreign student, international student and oversees student can be used interchangeably to mean the same thing. International students can be defined as individuals who travel away from their home country in search of academic or training (Doria n.p). An international student is therefore anyone who travels from their country of origin to another country for purposes of learning in an academic setting.
For this paper, we will define international students as individual scholars who leave their country of origin to study in another Continue reading...

Digital tools to increase academic success for the adult learner

Modern society is at a critical stage of its development. Unfolding civilizational shift involves changing ways of life, different mentality and behavior. Person ceases to be primarily subject to influence from the impersonal economic and political structures, and becomes the subject actively implementing the right to choose, by means of which personality is self-fulfilling. Under these conditions, there arise new demands to education, as the socio-cultural system is largely determined by the nature of society and the individual; there matures the need to address the contradiction between the declared goals of the educational process and its actual results.
However, Continue reading...

An 18-year-old, who is graduating in May, has not completed any college applications or expressed any plans for life after high school. This may seem an unusual problem, but research indicates that there is a significant population of high school students who are less than eager to attend college (Bush, 2005). From a psychological standpoint, this lack of motivation in continuing education is complicated, with many potential causes depending on gender, class and a host of other considerations, including academic underachievement. The chief culprit of high school students not attending college seems to be underachievement and lack of motivation, Continue reading...
