Gender Differences in Chinese Language Use Introduction Many studies in the field of gender and language use presume that there exist several differences. The paper critically discusses the comparison of three research articles, particularly on the methodology used when studying gender differences in Chinese language use. However, the main objective is focusing on how the techniques in each article we successfully used to test the researcher’s hypothesis. Additionally, the extent to which the research question has been resolved or not and the future directions to take from the three articles. The articles studied are from the authors Wei Hong, Wang & Lifeguard, and lastly, Chan’s article. Firstly, in the article by Wei Hong, the author used a questionnaire survey technique for the methodology part while conducting the study. Also, the results were analyzed statistically using a (T-test) method on gender differences. The technique used in the study successfully showed that there is closeness in gender differences in request patterns. Likewise, the data confirmed that females are much better polite while making requests compared to males. Secondly, Wang & Lifeguard, in…
case study on Edward Snowden Introduction After analyzing the case study on Edward Snowden, the researcher has realized that Snowden’s disclosure of private documents had a significant impact on the Canadian Securities law. According to the opinions of many legal experts, it is evident that his actions violated the Espionage Act of 1917 (Greenwald, 2014, p. 1). Snowden has thus, been subjected to the breaking of the law since he provided various reporters at the Guardian and NSA programs with information that caused the public to know that they were subjected to government surveillance. In turn, NSA responded, stating that the traffic records were collected with the aim of identifying links of various terrorist activities. Ethical Issues and Implications From the Kantian perspective, Snowden violated a perfect moral duty through his actions. However, from the same perspective, the American government was wrong since the Kantian ethics opposes against using people as a means to an end (Robert, and Adam, 2016). It was equally unethical for the government to hide from the citizens the activities they were carrying out with regard…
Bilingual Case Study Proficiency and Report There are various clinical and successive methods of analyzing the proficiency of students in the language. For individuals traveling to the US or the UK from other English or non-English speaking regions, the Test of English as a Foreign Language allows for understanding the proficiency of students in English languages (Bratton, 2018). However, there is no standard test for understanding the mastery of two or more languages. The Student Oral Language Observation Matrix (SOLOM) allows for observation of languages spoken by students and their proficiency (Bondy & Wong, 2013). This test allows for better planning and understanding of handling individual student, From the Solomon Matrix, I found that the majority of students born between the year 2005 and 2017 had challenges understanding and acquiring a second language. According to (Bharar & Lee, 2018), student mastery of more than one language is influenced by their background. As a result, after doing further analysis, I found out that most of the Caucasian descent did not know their native language due to parenting. In the sample of…
Definition of the Problem In the case study, ” A First-Year Student’s Struggle With Identity” by Kim C. O’Halloran and Megan E. Delaney; Kevin, the Director of Residence Life at Myers College is faced with mediating the disputes between Jenna, Susan and Susan’s mother. Kevin has to decide if homosexuality is wrongdoing or if both Jenna and Susan’s mother are wrong. The focal point of struggle is Jenna’s prejudicial perspective towards homosexuality, which hurts Susan, who is a lesbian. On the other hand, Susan’s mother blames Myers College for her daughter’s sexuality. As a Director of Residence Life, Kevin is faced with a dilemma. The conflict between Jenna and Susan results from the different cognition of sexual orientation. Jenna believes in heterosexuality. Susan is also influenced by heterosexuality privilege and cannot positively solve a normal emotional requirement. Additionally, there is no standard system or procedure to unify all people’s concept of sexual preference. Kevin tries to understand Susan better to amicably solve the conflict of heterosexuality against homosexuality without going public, but he faces backlash from the Student Counseling…
Should higher education be available to all? Higher education should not be available to all. With the state of the world, education is essential to everybody. Every parent wishes that his or her child gets the education to higher levels. Everybody has the right to access education but some people believe that higher education is meant for rich students while others insist that it should be to all students. In my opinion, only good students should have a chance to access higher education. It is because there are limited resources in higher learning institutions. Also, there are higher requirements in these learning situations that only a few students can meet. First, there are a lot of training activities that go on in universities. If everybody is allowed to join the university, there will be limited resources thus poor learning. There are a lot of funds put aside to facilitate universities. As a result, universities can only hold a few students. The university education also has higher learning requirements therefore, only the severe and good students are allowed to join and…
Case study for group presentation – LGBTQ Part 1: Question from the Study Alex’s suffering had become unbearable, and she wanted to escape the pain she was facing. She felt hopeless and isolated to the point where she felt that death was the only way she would be relieved. However, she was conflicted about ending her own life. Alex had the confidence to approach a local organization to seek counseling. I would give her the chance to express her thoughts and feelings to provide relief from loneliness since she isolated herself from friends and unexpressed negative feelings. I would let her vent and unload her feelings then reassure her that she is not alone, some people care about her and help is available and that suicidal feelings and thoughts are temporary. Support available for the transgender individual from their social networks can help ease these challenges; for instance, the development of supportive social networks whose main objective is Gender and sexual identities. Principles such as community-based participatory research can help in the collection and analysis of information. Finding a qualified…
Case study 1 Malaria I want to point out the fact that Malaria is a disease that threatens the life of many people in the world. An infected Anopheles mosquito mainly spreads it after biting an individual. These mosquitos carry a parasite known as plasmodium that is released to the bloodstream after the bite. Sometimes back, I was infected by Malaria, and my doctor said that the moment that parasite gets into your body, they travel directly to the liver to mature. After many days, the mature parasites enter the bloodstream and begin to infect the body defense system like the red blood cells. Malaria is caused by an infected mosquito that has a plasmodium parasite. WHO also suggested that people are infected by different kinds of malaria parasites such as Plasmodium vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae, and P. falciparum. The most dangerous is Plasmodium falciparum, which causes a severe type of the disease that has high risks of death. Also, an infected mother can transmit the disease to the baby during birth, which results in congenital malaria. Malaria is…
Scholarship Application There have been a number of experiences which I have gained so far as a nursing student. For instance, I have typically applied the knowledge which I have gained in and beyond the classroom to help many people in the society with different conditions and problems ranging from health conditions, and family problems. Another experience which I have gained was when I worked as a flight attendant. I had a flight when two patients were nearly dying, one was going for cardiac arrest, and another older woman had extremely high blood pressure. I was the chief flight attendant on board, and there was no medical officer or staff among the passengers to help the situation. So I used all my knowledge to save them, and they both made it until we landed. Also, I have interacted with nurses as my mentors; hence, this has helped me improve and build on my knowledge and skills as a nursing student. The experience has made me feel more connected with people and being able to dig deeper into my career. Secondly,…

Review of the codes of conduct Codes of professional conduct In the architecture and interior design sector, there are laid down codes of conduct that ensure the activities undertaken are a reflection of integrity and professionalism. In this study, one of the codes that we give prominence is the British Institute of Interior design code of conduct. This highlights the ethical principles and standards within which members of the institute are supposed to adhere to. The code, through its principles, assures that the interior designers and architect within its jurisdiction carry out their duties in line with the societal, interior designers, clients, supplies, and the entire design industry requirements. It aims to prevent any individual limitations that might compromise the integrity of the interior design and architectural industry. The following code is the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) code of professional conduct. RIBA is a tool that allows for members’ accountability in cases of complaint against them. It also assists members in the daily architectural activities through the provision of relevant guidance and information. In achieving this harmony with…
