Meyer family When the Meyer family arrived in Levittown, they experienced different reactions from the initial residents. Some people were okay with them coming to live in the all-white community. However, others did not like the idea of a colored family moving in Levittown. A majority of who opposed based their reasons on rumors which were being spread about the Meyers. Like for instance, there was a lady who said that there was a rumor going around that the Meyer were moving into all-white communities to introduce other colored families to come live in these communities.

Importance of Security in Cryptocurrency Adoption Cryptocurrency got its name from the fact that it uses advanced coding and encryption to transmit data. It was created to remove reliance on banks and be a peer to peer-based system during payment transactions. The heavy encryption and coding are necessary to provide secure transactions for the purely digital currencies. In fact, crypto transactions require a two-factor authentication process that makes it even harder for hackers to tamper with. However, even with the securities set in place, cryptocurrencies aren’t entirely unhackable. One of the most recent hacks was on South Korea’s Bithumb exchange, where $30 million digital tokens were stolen. Roughly a week before that, thieves took away with $37.2 million from Coinrail. Moreover, one of the most significant attacks happened to Coincheck in January 2018. The hackers got away with 523 million NEM coins valued at approximately $534 million. These hacks have cost cryptocurrency companies heavily and sometimes dropped the value of bitcoin by a significant amount. How are Hacks Happening? Cryptocurrency can’t be counterfeited, so that protects its owners from fraud…

Early maturation does not make girls susceptible to premature sexual activity and early pregnancies because the environment tends to play an essential role in contributing to susceptibility. Environmental factors that may make girls and boys susceptible are the culture, religion, setting, governance, gender inequality, economic inequality, and the physical layout of the neighborhood (Sommer & Mmari, 2015). The environment involves social stressors and peer pressure, among other factors that have a significant impact on the consequences of maturation. Some of the possible implications of the body maturing more rapidly than the mind for both boys and girls are higher rates of depression and anxiety, which may stretch all the into early life (Sommer & Mmari, 2015).

It, therefore, means that early maturation can hurt both boys and girls unless proper education and training is carried out. Resiliency…

Implications of inter generational trauma Introduction In simple terms, the word trauma refers to the reaction of a person to a major catastrophic event that leaves them unable to come to terms with it. Intergenerational trauma, on the other hand, is the trauma passed down from the first generation of the survivors who were affected directly or witnessed traumatic occurrences to future generations. In most cases, it is passed through parenting practices, violence, behavioural problems, mental health issues and harmful substance use. In fact, many children in indigenous communities face trauma directly in response to such factors as violence, child abuse and neglect and substance abuse.
