Learners that are rejected by their peers potentially become less integrated into the norms of social institutions (schools), consequently exerting them at risk for subsequent academic and behavioral difficulties.

situation that caused me not to meet the assignment due date and acknowledge my mistake I would explain briefly and precisely to the professor the situation that caused me not to meet the assignment due date and acknowledge my mistake. If the lecture accepts and grants me an extension, I will put extra effort and turn in quality work. If penalized, I will not be upset by the professor, and finally, I will not be late again and show effort all through in my subsequent assignments. If I participated in a lecture in China, it would be a little bit different due to time differences and lesson plans for my lectures.

The violence is as a result of misogyny, entitlement, superiority and many other similar attitudes that the perpetrator has. In recent years there has been a lot of criticism of criminal law and the criminal justice system from feminists. The feminists believe that the criminal justice system is male-oriented and that majority of the cases of violence against women are overlooked. To them, criminal law lacks empathy for women. However, the criminal justice system is in a dilemma on how to go about the violence against women issue since it is very sensitive. For instance, there are no clear rules that protect all the women in the world against gender-based violence and each society has its rules and norms. For example, in white communities, a husband can rape his wife, and the court will make sure that the wife gets justice. However, in black communities, there exists…
