Significance of Primary Sources: “Middle Passage” Introduction Primary sources are one of the most significant sources in the field of history. Primary sources play a significant role to the learners, the teachers, and even the researchers.to the learners, the primary sources play a role in exposing students in multiple perspectives on the significant issues which took place and the past and also the present(Legg & John pg. 104). They give a better interpretation of the past, including the most famous historians, ordinary citizens, any happening which made a significant impact on society in the past.

The middle passage during the slave and abolitionism was a triangular stage of triangular trade where many Africans were transported and sold into slavery. The writing was done…
Supportive Submission 2- Abstract ABSTRACT Background: Children who are abused and neglected may face lifelong negative physical health conditions because of the physical and biological disruptions that occur as a result of the trauma they face. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to critique a study that was undertaken to investigate whether abused and neglected children had a higher risk of negative health conditions in adulthood as compared to children who were not abused and neglected. Summary: The study was undertaken using a cohort of abused and neglected children who were followed for 30 years, along with a cohort of children who were had similar demographic characteristics as the abused children that were also followed for 30 years. All of the children underwent health screenings at several points throughout the 30 years period by a registered nurse. Results: The results of the study showed that children who were abused and neglected faced more lifelong negative physical health problems than children who were not abused. Critique: The research methodology that was used increased the validity of the findings because…
Spanking is Not the Best Alternative for Disciplining Children Introduction Why do parents spank their children? Typically, the aim of spanking is to punish the children for wrongdoing or for misbehaving. But is this the correct way to follow when it comes to disciplining children? Spanking, formally known as corporal punishment, is banned in many countries. Research shows that substitutes to spanking can be just as operational in terms of amending bad behaviour and that spanking or any other form of corporal punishment to children is scarring of long-term emotional development (Campbell, 2016). Information Spanking is humiliating and threatening. The most important relationship is the one between a parent and their children; therefore, using violent means to condition a child will potentially disorient or ruin the loving relationship. Multiple studies by paediatricians assert that a child may interpret spanking as an act of disfavour, leading to mistrust and fear of the parent. Children who undergo this form of punishment may also become tolerant of violence. Again, spanking alone does not tell the child what is right from wrong and may…
The Importance of Reconciliation in Stakeholder Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Organizations are prone to encountering disagreements among stakeholders regarding their daily operations. Conflict resolution is an essential element in negotiation for all parties to participate fully and reach a consensus. Environmental organizations deal with numerous stakeholders such as government, local communities, employees, and other interested parties who might express conflicting interests. However, for the organization to operate smoothly and engage all parties in a collective goal, it must resolve any existing disputes. Reconciliation is a critical aspect of a negotiation that enhances satisfaction among parties in question. For instance, an organization pursuing a conservation project on resources shared by two conflicting communities may need to restore order and harmony before proceeding with negotiations on sharing its proceeds. Lewicki, Barry& Saunders (2015) present three ways to resolve disputes, which include reconciling the interests, determining who is right, and determining who is dominant. In such instances, the organization might determine who is right through addressing geographical boundaries. However, the most effective method should the lower probability of dispute recurrence, incur minimum transaction…

A description of the constructs of the Pender’s model using a specific health behavior The model of health constructed by Nola Pender describes that every person has some unique features and experiences that affect actions that they take later in regards to their health. The cluster of variables for specific behavioral knowledge and their effect has some important significance to motivation towards healthy behavior. Nursing actions can be used to modify the variables in accordance with specific health behavior concerns. The promotion of health behavior is the required behavioral outcome, and they signify the end results in the health promotion model. Behaviors that promote health should produce improved function ability, enhanced health outcomes which ultimately leads to better quality of life in all developmental stages that humans go through. In the long run behavioral demand is also determined by competing preferences and demands that occur in real time since they can slow or divert actions that are intended to promote health. A health choice or behavior which can be used to discuss the model of health promotion is the…

Intentional plagiarism, on the other hand, is gaining academic advantage through paraphrasing or copying work done by someone else and claiming it…

Such relocations will often stress and interfere with most important parent-child relationship. And this, in turn, may have more effects on children’s development.

Understanding Parents’ Perceptions of childhood vaccines in Saudi Arabia Introduction Health is an essential element for all human beings, and as such, it is something that cannot be underrated. People must take precautions meant to enhance their health in one way or the other. Childhood vaccines are one of the preventive measures recommended by ministries of health.

Also, many infectious diseases such as cholera, polio, tetanus, and diphtheria have considerably fad away in many nations. It is nevertheless noteworthy that the concept of vaccinations is not well received by all…
Behavior modification Discussion Behavior modification refers to the alteration of the patterns of behaviour through the use of various learning techniques through operant conditioning. According to Chance (2014), punishment and combination of reinforcement are used to correct unwanted behaviour by replacing it with the desired one. The key to making behaviour modification effective is consistency, and this is what I should do to my students so that I plant good behaviour in them. As a teacher, I should always instil good behavior to my students so that they can grow up as responsible people. I should make sure that any strategy I take is useful to my students (Chance, 2014). The best behavior modification strategy for my 4th grade student who is very fidgety and talkative during class when I’m teaching is negative reinforcement. This strategy involves taking away some unpleasant from a child so as to reinforce a desirable behaviour (Chance, 2014). In my case, the unpleasant thing is the fact that the child is annoying. In my case, I will separate the student from the others and make…
