How does a family of origin impact children? Families are beautiful things as they are the first source of social contact. At a tender age, families teach us how to live, interact, and how to make our way in the world. As kids grow up, the first people they learn to trust are those around them who are mostly members of their family. Family origin defines children’s thought pattern and behaviours. The impacts of the family make people who they are; therefore, positive effects make complete responsible individuals. In this discussion, family origin refers to a unit in which one is raised and not biological family. It should be noted that biological family may have little impact on your development if they did not raise you. The commentary specifically refers to a much broader and a greater community that care for an individual as he or she grew up. For example, for a child raised up by grandparents, family friends, siblings, cousins or aunt and not his or her biological parents refers to the former as his or her family…
Critical Thoughts and research design Introduction The research question that I investigated about the WHO organization’s operations and management of pandemics exposed me to several essential lessons about research design. The research question and the research targets had very crucial lessons that helped me learn more about how to conduct conclusive research and helped me populate the target model. The lessons that I learned from my study were not just theoretical but also strategic as I was able to identify the gaps in my knowledge that the question needed to fill to help me understand the concepts better. This article is a reflection of the lessons that I learned from the entire process, especially on how the process worked, the lessons from the project, and any significant observations that may impact my future investigations. How did it work The research process involved interviewing one of the WHO’sWHO’s American representative to understand how they conduct their response activities and how the responses change my perspective. In essence, how do they differentiate between pandemics and common health issues that require a minimal…
the readings of Lu Xun’s works From the readings of Lu Xun’s works, the national and international influence of the people was one of the ideas that stood out. The political (governmental) influence is seen as the community follows confusion teaching, mosaic laws, and traditional ideologies as required by the authority. The leadership in China determined what the people would do, which can be seen by the administration classifying the people and identified those that will study and sit for the exams. The fact that there were no female leaders made the community view women as inferior in comparison to the women. As a result, the women were oppressed and deprived of some rights and freedom by the whole community. Another significant influence was from foreign nations. The community, though they resisted the signing of treaties with other countries, the superpower nations such as Britain fought them. They accessed and ruled some of the critical departments of the government. Another international influence is western education. Although the Chinese had their form of training, western culture education plays a significant role…
Strategies that improve communication between nurses, patients, and their families In the field of nursing, there are patient goals that are set as standards to improve the way that nurses care for and communicate with patients. For nurses to provide high-quality, Patient-centered care, they have to recognize that there are existing approaches that limit their ability to perform exemplarily. The following study has meticulously assessed the effects of the bedside shift report approach on patient satisfaction based on the reported HCAHPS scores. The metric system can be used to provide nurses with information on how the patients perceived the quality of care they received at the hospital. According to research, the adoption of BSR in hospitals reinforces patient-nurse communication since they are more actively engaged during shift report. More hospitals are advised to develop a BSR nursing policy to optimize patient care, standardize procedures, and ultimately improve their HCAHPS scores in communication. Overview of the problem statement Since a decade ago, relevant medical authorities have been urged to come up with strategies that improve communication between nurses, patients, and their…
Prevalent Delinquency Delinquency is defined as the criminal characteristics that are portrayed by minors or juveniles. However, this is determined differently in diverse nations as there is also a variance in the age one is determined to be an adult, which can be from 16-18 years. Delinquency is seen as the behavior that is parallel to the law or any moral provisions of a given society. It is only applied when a minor commits a criminal offense of which, if committed by an adult, could attract criminal sentence. Prevalent delinquency henceforth involves the wide criminal behavior that most juveniles possess in their adolescent age. The prevalent behavior can be involving a specific distinguished action that most adolescents possess and commit. These behaviors could include minor theft, assault and weapons use, or even more dangerous and violent acts. The delinquent behaviors are prevalent during this adolescent age due to certain factors that include peer pressure and the self-evaluation process where one feels the need to belong in a particular group. This is since most of these delinquents do not hold on…
The social learning theory Introduction The social learning theory argues that it is the mediational processes which lie between the stimulus and response; influence our behavior and the way we act. When we witness a particular action, and then we star evaluating how we behave a child may be watching a movie of disciplinary and witness reinforcement for good behavior, they could like this reinforcement and therefore imitate this kind behavior. According to this theory, learning may occur through observing others, as role models. We probably imitate people those who we are similar to, those in high status, individuals, and gender, supportive people. For instance, I imitate my father’s hobby by playing soccer and shaving like him. I watched my mother being rewarded as the best actor in USA. Through observation I developed interest and am now acting I want to be better than her according to social learning theory this is direct reinforcement. Indirect reinforcement is when someone is modelling out behavior with no intention. Since I was young I watched my mother washing the dishes. Currently I have…
Learning and Growth among Identical Twins Larsen, S. A., Byrne, B., Little, C. W., Coventry, W. L., Ho, C. S., Olson, R. K., & Stevenson, A. (2019). Identical Genes, Unique Environments: A Qualitative Exploration of Persistent Monozygotic-Twin Discordance in Literacy and Numeracy. Frontiers in Education, 4. https://doi.org/10.3389/feduc.2019.00021 In this article, Larsen et al. analyses the ambiguity that exists in the growth and learning outcomes among identical twins. Identical twins share the same genetic code and grow up in the same family, thereby sharing the same family-based aspect of nature, but still, the majority demonstrate distinguished development in growth and learning. Larsen et al. identified three unique environmental factors that contribute to extreme discordance among monozygotic twins. These included biomedical factors, personal differences, and school factors. Among the personal differences, factors included general personality differences as well as effort and motivation. Class allocation and peer were the school factors identified by Larsen et al. all these factors work in isolation or collaboratively to influence twins’ achievement trajectories. Ritchie, S.

The Impact of Technology on Academic Learning Introduction Advancement in technology is a reality we cannot ignore. Today’s learners are more technologically equipped, and hence it is inevitable to talk about effectiveness in learning without discussing the effect of digital technology on academic learning. Despite this, there have been concerns about the impact of some of the technologies of the efficacy of learning. However, there is no doubt that the computer era has brought a paradigm shift in the effectiveness of learning, especially in the aspects of content delivery, the advancement of interactive learning, and also the assessment of learners. Despite the advance in digital technology being heralded as the basis of current and future streamlining of learning systems, social networking has been identified as a significant reason for the failure of students to complete schoolwork timely and honestly. Therefore, it is vital to analyze how digital technology is being applied in learning institutions, its implications, and the future of academic learning in the digital era. The status of digital technology in the education sector Technology has significantly advanced,…
Developmental Assessment and the School-Aged Child Introduction Assessment in school is used to determine the abilities of the children and the identification of special needs among children. Assessments in pediatric school-aged children entail a tailored and comprehensive process and are based on the needs and developmental expectations (Bellman, Byrne & Sege, 2013). School-aged children tend to grow at a slow and steady rate until they hit puberty. Children at this age are starting to build their self-esteem and understand the cause, effect, and reasons for a certain phenomenon. It is important to understand the developmental theories and stages according to the age groups. This paper explains the assessment of children aged 5-12 years old. Physical assessment among school-aged children Physical assessment informs the teachers on the background of the child and abilities according to the school curriculum and tutoring programs. Teachers use the interaction with the children to assess the learning necessities of each child and develop programs and involve teachers who are able to handle the physical, mental, and emotional issues of all the children individually (Bellman, Byrne &…
