Singing should be used in childcare centers to educate the children on how to speak. Songs are also used to calm the children.

Children are encouraged to improve in certain areas. Thus, making them do better in the future. Singing, encouragement, helping, and praising are some of the important learning practices in childcare centers that…

Risky decision-making defines being associated in and establishing arrangements in a particular time that could be marred with negative results. For instance, risk decision making has been positively correlated with many risk behaviors, for example, unprotected sex and drug abuse. Trial by peers’ program is a fundamentally social context to consider despite how previous experimental studies show that young people are prone to take risky decision-making. Students consider responsible decisions to whether they want to go to college by including academic choices. The arrangements range from deciding what book to read to judgments on the exact due time to complete homework (Hitt & Tucker, 2016).

Reasons for Poor School Achievement Poor school achievement has been a significant issue affecting the development of many schools. Research shows that schools that offer boarding services to students have excellent performance than day schools. The reason behind this is that students have enough time to revise for their exams while the day scholar students lack enough time to revise for their exams (Buck & Torgesen, 2018). Poor school performance is caused by poverty, cultural diversity among the students, and racism, among other factors. Identifying various reasons for the poor school achievement and formulating mechanisms for abating them, is very important in ensuring school development. Poverty is a significant reason for poor school achievement. Research shows that students from minority backgrounds face difficulties in achieving excellent performance as compared to Asian or white students (Buck & Torgesen, 2018). Schools with low returns have the most significant numbers of students who live below the poverty line. Schools with low-income students have high teacher turnover, less-experienced teachers, and inadequate access to high quality resources. Another reason for poor achievement in schools…
Violence and HIV Studies have indicated that violence involving intimate partners can escalate the threat of HIV infection at approximately 50 percent. Besides, there is evidence that violence or the fear of violence significantly leads to undermining access to treatment, support, and care services, especially for women living with HIV infection. In an attempt to tackle the sophisticated association of HIV and violence, Ban Ki-Moon urged the entire world to take action to eliminate violence against girls and women. Also, he recommended that women and girls get access to reproductive and sexual health and human rights that they are entitled (UNAIDS). Generally, violence is established to contribute to the drastic impact of women’s and children’s health, and it is also inextricably associated with the observed higher HIV prevalence. This research paper analyses violence and HIV by looking at transgender individuals, violence against women, intimate partner violence, and solutions to violence and HIV. Violence and HIV among transgender individuals The prevalence of HIV is highest among transgender individuals in India (Ganju, 2017). the transgender individuals across the world experience various types…
Analytical Essay of a Violent Event in the Media The fields of philosophy and sociology have recently experienced renewed interest as humans grapple with challenges such as rational choice, human agency, and complex social problems. In criminology, especially, the works of scholars such as Mead, Galtung, Raine, and Katz have been used to develop theories that explain the origin of violent behavior. This paper will, therefore, examine the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart through the lens of Mead’s philosophy, and propose an approach that could have been used to prevent the crime from happening. Cassie was house-sitting for her aunt and uncle Frank and Allison Contreras on 22nd September 2006 at night when she was murdered. On that evening, her boyfriend Matt came to visit her, after which Brian Draper and Torey Adamcik joined them. As they were watching a movie together, Adamcik and Draper decided to leave, saying that they preferred watching a film from the local theater (Adamcik). Cassie and Matt were left alone at home, and shortly afterward, the lights went off. Later that night, Matt’s mother…
Alcohol Abuse in Higher Education Institutions College drinking has been one of the primary topics studied by many researchers over the years. One particular research carried out back in 1993 showed that the drinking behavior of the college students involved close to half of the college student population. The study or project, that is, the College Alcohol Study, focused on a good number of surveys that were carried out throughout the country and involved data gained from 140 higher education institutions. The researchers who headed the project found that close to 44 percent of the student engaged in alcohol abuse. Furthermore, the data gained from the research further showed that men would consume five drinks or more in one sitting while women would consume four drinks or more. Further research conducted later on showed that for some of the college students, they engaged in alcohol abuse before they had attended college (Iconis, 2014). There are certain risk factors, which will contribute to the high rates or percentage of alcohol abuse, as seen among college students. One of the risk factors…
The Principles of Choice Theory Question 1 The choice theory was formulated by Dr. William Glasser, a psychiatrist who stipulated human beings are born with genetically coded needs, which make the basis of the five principles of choice theory. 1st principle Human behaving is coded in their genetic make and is controlled by five motivations; these are survival or self-preservation, fun or enjoyment, love and belonging, power, and lastly, freedom, and independence. 2nd principle During growth and development, humans develop wants that are related to the five needs stipulated by Glasser (Wubbolding, 2015). These want to grow and become part of our “quality world.’ In most cases, the experiences that people find interesting or fun turn to become their wants. 3rd principle This principle stipulates that our behavior is referred to as ‘total behavior’ and includes feelings, psychology, and physiology, among others. In most cases, therefore, responsive behavior is elicited whenever we feel our ‘quality world’ is out of balance. 4th principle All behavior is based on a purpose in the sense that we make choices that try to meet…

Walt Disney Case Study As an external consultant carrying out a research study on Walt Disney. I have been investigating why Disney has fallen behind film giants like Netflix in terms of competition. What is more, my study involves the analysis of policies that are being implemented by Disney concerning global performance and the company’s long term sustainability. After I few studies, I discovered that the main drawback facing Disney is the tight competitive threat coming from other digital filmmakers and, most importantly, Netflix. While basing my research on statistical data, in the early periods of 2019, Disney had 25 million subscribers in the United States alone. And during the previous times, Disney has generated annual revenue of one and a half billion dollars (Anita & Monica, 2019). Despite the previous income, Disney is facing some challenges that might lead to a loss of one and a half-billion dollars. On the other hand, Disney’s main competitor Netflix has one hundred and forty million subscribers, and most of them are widely spread all over the globe. To be more precise, Netflix…
