Due to the severe nature of these sexual offences, society bears different attitudes regarding the punishment of sexual offenders. According to a study carried out by talking to individuals over the phone 733 of the participants replied indicating that they feared sexual offenders and agreed with the requirements set that all sexual offenders should be registered as sexual offenders (Kernsmith et al.). When surveying the public’s attitude in regards to the punishment of sexual offenders, two methods, i.e. interviews and questionnaires, should be employed to collect comprehensive data. When surveying the general public, it is vital to comprehend that the topic is quite sensitive as the respondents may have been victims; they may have family members who are the subjects, or they may have personally been offenders and rehabilitated. Once one comprehends the diversified nature of the public, it is easier to tackle the survey. The next step would…

Photography Unit 2 Discussion: Part 1 Why is exposure in photography a subjective decision? Exposure refers to the amount of light allowed to enter the camera when taking a picture. Exposure is determined by the amount of light allowed to enter the camera when taking a picture. Letting a lot of light into the camera results in a bright image, whereas allowing low camera lighting results in a dark photo (Rentschler 1959). It is, therefore, the choice of the photographer to decide whether the picture should be bright or dark. This choice may vary from one photographer to another; hence, subjective. How do decisions about aperture and shutter speed influence the photograph? Aperture and shutter come in handy in photography during controlling exposure. Fast shutter speed will ensure the camera captures slight movements of the objects in the picture. Similarly, the photographer may prefer a more prolonged exposure. Such decisions tend to influence the quality of the photograph in the sense that they transmit the message that the photographer intends to convey. Unit 2 Discussion: Part 2 If…
Confidence Development Plan Self-confidence is a critical element that is very instrumental in an individual’s life. Most people struggle to find it. People who lack confidence can find it very hard to make it in life. Their beliefs have blinded them and thus cannot do something new. Someone nervous can rarely pursue a challenging project, fearing failure. On the other hand, individuals who have self-confidence and have strong beliefs in themselves can easily make it in life.

Response on Still Doing It: The Intimate Lives of Women Over 65 The video clips show some women aged 65 and above expressing their views about sexual feelings as far as their age is concerned as well as the societal stereotypes pertaining to their age bracket. For most of the people, presumably below the age bracket, including myself, tend to think that once an individual hits 65 and above, their bodies no longer feel any urge for sex. I have been able to learn from the video that the activity of the human body system, especially on matters about sex carries on as long as they live. However, when we are young, our beliefs are made to believe that as we age, our bodies become sexually less active. Now that the case is as presented by the victims falling within the age bracket, then I agree that the society should abandon lots of stereotypes and hold a debate on the matter. I know it may seem weird finding older people in an intimate relationship, especially with partners way too younger…

The study is founded on the progress of self-esteem and its impact on someone’s life results. From the research, it is evident that self-esteem intensifies from teenage years to middle maturity, from which it drops at an acceleration speed into old age. In solidify the findings, there are no regiment differences in the trajectory of self-esteem concerning the gap between adolescence to timeworn age (Orth & Robins, 2014). The research suggests that self-esteem might be immutable, but it doesn’t mean it is comparatively stable. This is because a person who has high or little self-esteem has a high probability of having comparatively high or low self-esteem years later. When it comes to the effect that either high or low self-esteem has on an individual life, persons with great self-esteem do have a habit of having success and comfort in the domain of their lives. This is an indication of the substantial…

Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) Using the emotional scale that ranges around one hundred and thirty-three with a standard deviation of either positive or negative thirteen, my total score was a hundred, which is an average intelligence quotient score. My score, however, is slightly below the mean with a little variance with the standard deviation range as well. The scale indicates a good intelligence quotient since the rating is average. This implies that I can use information and logic to answer questions or to make correct predictions since I have superior intelligence. In the general population, 68% of the score is within the standard deviation of the mean. This implies that nearly 70% of all the people score within plus or minus 15 of the average rating. However, on completion of the assessment involving a friend, family member, or even the loved ones to compile the self-report measure to determine the emotional intelligence, their responses vary from one another.
