Learning and writing in children Introduction In most fields of study, language is thought of principally in terms of the written word, for it is in this form that we usually make permanent records of important ideas. Rela- tively little attention is spared for something as fleeting and unremarkable as spoken con- versation. In linguistics, however, speech, rather than writing, is regarded as more central to human language, for several reasons. First, humans have probably used spoken lan- guages for 100,000 years, perhaps longer. Writing is a relatively recent development, only a few thousand years old. Even today, most of the world′s 5,000 or so languages have no established writing system. But there is no society which communicates just by writing, without a spoken language. Furthermore, children learn to speak long before they learn to read and write; indeed, learning of spoken language takes place without formal instruction. But does ordinary speech really warrant scientific atten- tion? Although we generally take the processes of speech pro- duction and recognition for granted, they involve a range of surprisingly intricate mental abilities…
Investigative Report and Expert statement TASK This task follows on from the scenario in Assessment 1. In your preliminary investigation of the accused you have determined that Lincoln has defrauded the victim of $121,000 over seven years by fabricating time-sheets, writing and cashing in fraudulent cheques under the pretenses of casual employee wage expenses. This calculation has been determined by comparing the value of all group certificates issued to the Australian Taxation Office against the wage expenses recorded in the general ledger. However, without further investigation you cannot determine the location of the illicit funds defrauded from the victim. The Officer in Charge has read your report and has decided to advance this complaint into a strike force for continued investigation and if necessary, prosecution. STAGE 1: Provide details of the investigative processes you will undertake as the Forensic Accountant to (A) collect your evidence to prove $121,000 was defrauded by the accused and (B) follow the trail of the illicit funds to determine how the stolen money has been used. In this explanation you will need to…
argument that school uniforms are better or worse than normal clothes It can be argued that school uniforms are better or worse than normal clothes. Some say that they’re itchy or uncomfortable while others say that school uniforms feel wonderful and like to have it on. I have never gone to a school with school uniforms but I think I would like it. It seems like fun, you immediately have something in common with other classmates which makes it easier to connect with them and not having to worry about looking poor or sloppy since none can judge you by your looks. However, there might be people judging you because of your school uniform when you walk in public and you might stand out more than usual. Maybe it’s a pain to wash and keep clean sometimes, but still, it’s a pretty clever way to make people feel united and for the school to get more money. I think that it’s more about the money and less about worrying that the pupils are wearing too little or too much. I…
impact that school bullying has in the relationship existent between aggressive behavior and academic performance Literature Review The current study identified that bullying was one of the major concerns reflected in the spiking rates of aggression among elementary schools. Therefore, the current literature review addresses three themes identified as relevant to the study’s objective, determining the relationship between aggressive behaviors and school achievement in elementary schools with respect to bullying. The themes include: (a) causes and characteristics of bullying, (b) negative consequences potentially associated with bullying, and (c) the impact of bullying on academic achievement Causes and characteristics of bullying According to Alrokban et al., (2019), school bullying is among the major problems associated with violence in schools. Bullying is characterized as the victimization of a student by a peer through a repeated sequence of negative actions targeted on certain aspects of their personality and nature (Olweus, 1993). Bullying is interpreted differently, but scholars agree that this is a type of violence, and three features must be evident for it to materialize; the conduct is intended to cause psychical and emotional harm,…
LAZY LAWRENCE STORY In the pleasant valley of Ashton there lived an elderly woman of the name of Preston. She had a small neat cottage, and there was not a weed to be seen in her garden. It was upon her garden that she chiefly depended for support; it consisted of strawberry beds, and one small border for flowers. The pinks and roses she tied up in nice nosegays, and sent either to Clifton or Bristol to be sold. As to her strawberries, she did not send them to market, because it was the custom for numbers of people to come from Clifton, in the summer time, to eat strawberries and cream at the gardens in Ashton. Now, the widow Preston was so obliging, active and good-humoured, that everyone who came to see her was pleased. She lived happily in this manner for several years; but, alas! one autumn she fell sick, and, during her illness, everything went wrong; her garden was neglected, her cow died, and all the money which she had saved was spent in paying for medicines.…
Role of Government Protectionism in Business Activities and Economic Growth The global economy (and global trade) will impact countries devastatingly. There are numerous pressures placed on countries that may disrupt the economy of a nation, particularly in times of a slowdown or recession. A country can also feel this strain irrespective of the global economy, for example, in a cycle of consolidation or catch-up that takes time for international competitiveness to be achieved. The most common principle is that nations use a concept known as trade protectionism to safeguard themselves against the harmful effects of global economic pressure. The discussion herein explores the Chinese government protectionism in business activities and economic growth while giving different viewing about the government’s protectionism. Role of Government Protectionism in Business Activities and Economic Growth When you analyze the commercial cases involving China at the World Trade Organization (WTO), China is the nation most severely affected by trade protectionism. In keeping with the WTO, China confronted seventy-three anti-dumping cases and ten compensation cases by a world trade body in 2008, accounting respectively for 35% and…
Writing a Lab Report – the Results Section 2 This section is one of the most important parts of a scientific paper, because it contains the information that will allow you to determine the fate of your hypotheses and predictions. For that reason, it is vitally important that you present your data clearly. You should follow the guidelines in the writing handbook that is required for class, as well as the guidelines below. These guidelines are important to follow because when it comes time to write up the results of your experiments in this (and later semesters) you will lose significant points if you fail to follow these guidelines. If you are uncertain about this you should always check with your instructor, but some general guidelines to keep in mind are: You need to address every variable you measured in your experiment. If you address it in the methods section, you need to address it here as well. This may involve text, tables, figures, and/or appropriate statistical analyses. The results section must include text in it that explains the…

analysis of Salada Foods Jamaica Limited Overview The nature of the project requires that we conduct an analysis of Salada Foods Jamaica Limited, registered office is located in Kingston Jamaica and as such this project and its operations are within the home country of Jamaica. The spill over effect of the global downturn has had a severe impact on the Jamaican economy especially due to structural deficiencies including: inefficiencies in the public sector, high energy costs, crime and politics. The Jamaican economic downturn has therefore been characterized by: weakened consumer demand, exchange rate devaluation (stabilized now), elevated inflation levels (moderating) and negative GDP growth. The Jamaican economy has continued its decline since 2007, with year-on-year real GDP dropping 0.9% for the quarter ended December 2010. A closer look at the economy, showed the manufacturing sector declined by 2.6% for the corresponding period. However, the subsector, Food, Beverages & Tobacco (which includes Salada) declined at a slower rate of 0.7% for the period. In nominal terms, this equates to a 1.6% decline in the subsector while the company was able to…
