negative association of child development Deierlein, Andrea L.; Teitelbaum, Susan L.; Windham, Gayle C.; Pinney, Susan M.; Galvez, Maida P.; Caldwell, Kathleen L.; Jarrett, Jeffery M.; Gajek, Ryszard; Kushi, Lawrence H.; Biro, Frank; Wolff, Mary S. In Environment International. January 2019, 122:310-315 Language: English. DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2018.11.031, Database: ScienceDirect The study concentrates on the negative association of child development, especially by the subsequent anthropometric measurement use of electronic devices to developing children. The study examines the United States population growth with low lead concentrations. Children and adolescents are engaging in activities that stimulate their cause to physical strains and injuries. Many children in adolescents use the computer and other electronic gadgets which occupy almost 75% of their time. The posture sustained by the awkward could lead to a range of adverse effects during their development. These may include musculoskeletal disorder, visual problems, neurological, and physical changes. However, the research identifies preventive measures that can be taken to protect against such injuries. For instance, if it is a condition that developing children must use, electronic materials, chairs, and tables they use must…

Child Abuse Risks Development of Depression Introduction The issue at hand is looking at child abuse, which increases the risks of the kids developing depression in their later years. Children who have been abused in their early years growing up having issues to fight with, they lose trust, perform poorly in schools, and make choices that are usually viewed as wrong by other people, some find it difficult to choose what is right or wrong. Child abuse has been noted to have long-term effects that are negative on the development of the brain and physical conditions, together with increasing risks of psychiatric illnesses. The genes, environment, and personalities are other factors affecting people with depressive disorders. When children are exposed to life stresses like poverty, lack of food, and basic needs, it likely causes them to develop stress, which later might lead to depression. Chronic depression among adults is likely a result of early childhood abuses and may cause an individual to commit suicide if treatment is not administered at the right time. These factors influence each other in different…
“The Other Side is Not Dumb”Short Response Paper Sean Blanda’s article ‘The Other Side Is Not Dumb’ gives a well elaborate approach to how people think and the need to have freedom of expression. The main aim of his writing is to provide an honest opinion that all people should be entitled to their views and opinions. People think that others should also think likewise, which is not accurate and practical. To support his claim, Blanda has used an example of how people interact through the internet and different social media platforms. Blanda has referenced sources in which the user clicks a hyperlink, which does not direct you to the desired location on the website instead of another irrelevant site. In all this research, the author intends to establish that every reader needs an open mind in their interactions with other people. Blanda has established the author’s authority through the use of ethos within the third paragraph in handling the aspect of ‘psychology.’ In this section, he addresses the false consciousness that people have regarding others, as in this…
Prosocial Behavior and Motivation The scientific study of how humans think, influence, and relate to various interactions is defined as social psychology (Macmillan, 2019). Social psychology aims at unrevealing mysteries behind human behavior and how they impact on others around them. In daily interactions, it is common to find persons helping each other. A person might help another expecting nothing in return or something in return. When an individual assists another person out of love and not expecting something in return, the act can be considered altruism. Altruism is, therefore, defined as the selfless concern about the wellbeing of other humans (Macmillan, 2019). An altruist aims at seeing everyone happy regardless of their race or kind. The main motive is to alleviate suffering by providing a helping hand without expecting rewards. In ancient societies, tradition played an import role in defining the behavior of individuals within a community. Important traditions were passed from parents to their children, and this included those that encouraged altruism (Beitin & Aprahamian, 2014). Currently, traditions are not treated as they were in the past; they…
How Genetics and Environmental Factors Produce Antisocial Behavior Psychologists attribute antisocial behavior to both genetics and external factors. Antisocial behavior refers to conduct that leads to violation of other people’s rights, harm and endangering of other people. It involves manipulation, breaking the law, lying, fighting and any other actions that we consider socially an acceptable. Studies with twins and persons from varying social settings have shown that such actions result from the genetic make-up of the individual or the environment they live in. Precisely, research findings show that the combination of genetic and environmental predispositions is more effective in producing antisocial mannerisms than each of them would when acting singularly. Behavioral genetics research has revealed that both factors account for antisocial behavior in roughly equal proportions. Hence, none of the two is sufficient to bring about conduct disorder in an individual. For instance, the genetic make-up of an individual exposes them to particular environments. Studies involving children of criminals show that the children are more likely to take to crime than children from law-abiding parents. Thus, though scientists have not…

QATAR PETROLEUM’S OPERATION STRATEGY Specific set projects or plans can be accomplished by converting the mission statement through the strategic objectives which aim for long-term organizational goals. The strategic objectives are designed to entail specific, realistic, and measurable translations of the company’s mission statement, which can be applied to managing and guiding decision-making procedures successfully. On the other hand, operational objectives entail a project’s monthly, weekly, or daily benchmarks that assist in implementing the main strategic objectives. Operational purposes are connected to the strategic objectives as observed in managing and employees breaking down the main strategic goals into workable or accommodable roles and tasks. Getting tasks accomplished, such as the production of services and goods to consumers, are the main concerns in an organization’s operational responsibilities.
