...When Men were 7 years old they were taken from there family to train for war. “From when they were 8 years-21 years they were educated by the Spartan System”.(Document A) Toughness was an important part of the Spartan MIlitary. An intensive training system was used to strengthen Spartans MIlitary and in the years that followed Thermopylae, Spartans greatest challenger was Athen’s, the largest and most powerful of all the Greek city-states. The weaknesses outweigh the strengths. Areas to be examined are they were taken from family at 7 years old, they had to run with no shoes to strengthen their feet on the negative side and they were stronger at a young age on the positive side. One weakness of Spartan education is boys were taken from...

Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 12 students, one teacher and wounded 21 others using weapons purchased from private dealers at a gun show. Part of Columbine’s issues should’ve been prevented if the gun laws in Colorado were enforced properly. Although it wasn't entirely Robyn, Eric, And Dylan's fault, the seller shouldn't have sold the weapons to minors because of this the gun laws were not followed resulting thirteen victims being killed.

...Netherlands – Health Summary This paper shows the trends in the prevalence of overweight (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 25 kg m−2) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg m−2) in the Netherlands. Overweight (obesity) prevalence in adult males increased from 37% (4%) in 1981 to 51% (10%) in 2004, and in adult females from 30% (6%) in 1981 to 42% (12%) in 2004, according to self-reported data. In boys and girls, obesity prevalence doubled or even tripled from 1980 to 1997, and again from 1997 to 2002–2004 a two- or threefold increase was seen for almost all ages. According to the most recent data, overweight (obesity) prevalence figures range, depending on age, from 9.2% to 17.3% (2.5–4.3%) in boys, and from 14.6% to 24.6% (2.3–6.5%) in girls. There is a lack of data on the national prevalence of overweight and obesity based on measured height and weight and on prevalences in different subgroups of the population. Regular national representative health examinationsurveys that measure height and weight are needed to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity and its distribution over subgroups in the population, and to properly direct and evaluate prevention activities. Introduction Obesity and overweight have reached epidemic proportions globally and are accompanied by a range of serious health consequences (1). The Dutch National Health Council confirmed the seriousness of the epidemic of overweight and obesity in the Netherlands (2). The aim of this paper is to describe the trends in prevalence...

...Vialet Rayne The article that I decided to dispute is about a victim who has to pay child support to the aggressor. According to the article, a 15 year-old boy who was raped by a 34 year-old women is now being subpoenaed to pay child support. Thirty-four year-old, Linda Kazinsky, repeatedly raped the now 19 year-old Jeremy Steen on a weekly basis for 3 years. After Steen alerted police, Linda Kazinsky was arrested and charged with statutory rape and false imprisonment. After Kazinsky was released for serving her time in the Nebraska’s state prison system she was able to regain custody of her child that had been a ward of the state for the first thirteen months of it’s life until Kazinky’s sister was able to gain custody. Soon after Kazinky filed for government assistance which later granted Jeremy Steen with a subpoena to appear in court for child support. During the child support hearing Jeremy was ordered to pay $475 a month as well as to having to pay $23,000 in back child support. I decided to dispute this article because it seems so injustice to charge someone to pay for a child that was conceived through sexual assault. It seems unreal to me that this poor teenage boy was seduced by this women that is twice his age. The women could have done it to get pregnant in the first place. Maybe that was her intention. The poor boy didn’t even get a say in weather he approved of her having the baby since it wasn’t consensual in the first place. For women who becoming pregnant...

...androgen or the media both show influences (Kenyon, 2006). To be in consideration of normal a boy child should play with a truck and a girl a doll. Many children like to experiment, such as a little boy who wants to try on his “mommy’s” shoes. The able normal behavior occurs if the little boy prefers mommy’s clothing over that of his specific gender. Although in society no one seems to look twice at a women wearing men’s clothing. It is difficult to define what normal and abnormal behavior by gender and sexual preferences or practices in a changing world. The DSM-II defines sexual orientation disorders as a person who is in conflict with his or her own sexual identity, disturbed by the sexual identity, or a desire to change his or her own sexual identity (DSM-II Homosexuality_Revision.pdf, 1973). This should not be in confusion with homosexuality. Homosexuality is the sexual activity between two members of the same gender (Lecture 21, 2010). Homosexuality was historically a sexual deviation disorder according to the DSM-II. However, during the 60s and 70s the definition of homosexuality was reexamined and was no longer thought to be a disorder. The reexamination states defining homosexuality as a disorder was on a basis of values not on the collection of data. The DSM-III made the changes necessary to form a new category for homosexuality and a new name of ego-dystonic homosexuality (Lecture 21, 2010). This diagnosis, however, is for those individuals who are in disturbance or have...

...P1- Describe physical, Intellectual, Emotional and Social development for each of the life stages of an individual. In this assignment I will be going through all of the life stages than an individual will go through. These stages are: • Conception. • Pregnancy. • Birth and Infancy 0 – 3 years. • Childhood 4-9 years. • Adolescence 10-18 years. • Adulthood 19-65 years. • Older Adulthood 65 years + • Final Stages of Life. Conception is when the ovary must have released an egg, this is then drawn down the fallopian tube towards the uterus. This usually occurs halfway through the menstrual cycle. In the process of these, the lining of the womb is preparing for the occurrence of a pregnancy and thickens its lining by increasing blood flow to the thinning blood mucus to allow sperm to enter. During sexual Intercourse, between a man and a woman sperm is ejaculated into the vagina. Once the sperm enters the uterus, it tries to find the egg which is at the lower end of the fallopian tube. Male semen contains several million sperm, but only one will be needed for conception, and that single sperm cell contains the father's genetic contribution to the baby. Each sperm contains 23 chromosomes and each egg contains 23 chromosomes. The sperm can swim, and need to be able to do so as they have to move through the cervix, into the uterus and along the fallopian tubes. During sexual intercourse millions of sperm are ejaculated by a man. The sperm swims through the uterus and fertilizes...

...structure of literary works. In the novel Fifth Business, by Robertson Davies, many of Jung’s archetypes are reflected in the characters. These archetypes include the Eternal Boy, the Wise Old Man, the Hero, the Maiden, and the Persona. The characters of Boy Staunton, Dunny Ramsay, Paul Dempster, Mary Dempster, and Leola Cruikshank symbolize these archetypes and support the overall theme of appearance versus reality in Fifth Business. Upon analyzing Carl Jung’s archetypes, one would find that Boy is the most obvious example of the Eternal Boy archetype. Over the course of the novel, Boy grows physically, but he acts very childish. He constantly denies throwing the snowball that struck Mary Dempster. He tries to prove to Dunny that he is better than him in every way. As kids, he ridiculed Dunny’s old sled and wool mitts (Davies, 3). In the future, he even goes as far as waving Leola’s naked photos in front of Dunny’s face (Davies, 148). Boy never grew mentally. Boy symbolizes the appearance of things, directly conflicting Dunny’s values of reality. And while many may believe that Dunny is the Hero of Fifth Business, he is better suited to the archetype of the Wise Old Man. The Wise Old Man acts as uses his personal knowledge to help offer guidance.To support this claim, one could take the example of his teenage years when he worked in a library. Dunny became focused on his goal of being a polymath. He read encyclopedias and various books on magic. As the novel progresses, Dunny ends...

...and their morals by simply being a kids and having fun. To have one’s childhood forcefully taken away from them is inhumane, and unfortunately sexual, physical, and mental child abuse has always existed. Thorn is a technology task force made up of twenty technology companies including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter that lend their knowledge, time and resources to fight the sexual exploitation of children. According to Thorn, the exact number of child abuse victims is difficult to identify due to illicit nature of this activity, but it is estimated that there are 100,000 to 300,000 children at risk of commercial sexual exploitation in the United States and one million children exploited by the global commercial sex trade each year. Given these figures there are three questions that come to mind: Why does child sexual exploitation occur?; What are the consequences of sexual exploitation on the victims?; What can be done to stop it? According to NSPCC child sexual exploitation (CSE) is a, “…form of sexual abuse that involves the manipulation and/or coercion of young people under the age of 18 into sexual activity in exchange for things such as money, gifts, accommodation, affection or status.” A direct link has been observed between poverty and sexual exploitation. During a time of extreme poverty or as a result of natural disasters children tend to be placed in situations where they may be forced into agreeable or forced prostitution. Other reports suggest that...

...TITLE OF THE ESSAY : Child Labour : The Abuse of Girl Child * Siddharth Sharma (2ND YEAR B.A.LLB STUDENT AT NLIU, BHOPAL) TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. INTRODUCTION 2. WHY A GIRL CHILD GETS MORE VICTIMIZED? 3. SEXUAL ABUSE AND CHILD LABOUR? 4. DO WE HAVE A SOLUTION? INTRODUCTION “Born to parents who themselves were uneducated child workers, many child worker are forced to continue a tradition that leaves them chained to a life of poverty” Child labour violates a nation’s minimum age laws, threatens children’s physical, mental, or emotional well-being, involves intolerable abuse, such as child slavery, child trafficking, debt bondage, forced labor, or illicit activities, prevents children from going to school and above all, uses children to undermine labor standards. In this regard The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act was enacted in 1986. The constitution of India also recognizes the right of children and safeguards their right to survival, protection and development. Article 14 of the constitution bestows right to equality. Article 15(3) empowers state to make special provision in favour of children. Article 23 prohibits traffic in human being. Article 14 prohibits employment of children below 14 years in any factory or mine or hazardous occupation. Article 39 prohibits abuse and exploitation. Article 45 provides compulsory education up to 14 years. India has recently finally left the company of seven other countries that still legally permit...

...moving way. That is what makes this such a powerful yet tender poem of childhood? The poem ‘Memory’ written by Chris van Wyk (1957-) is a powerful yet tender poem of childhood, it is also disturbing in a sense that it describes a traumatic part of the poets childhood. The title ‘Memory’ invokes feelings such as nostalgia and reminiscence for what has past. The language used in the poem is relatively simple comparing it to that of a four year old child. It also displays the four year old child’s curiousity and innocence through the language used as well as the imagery mentioned. The imagery in the poem can be compared to that of childhood imagination, which is displayed when children play games or pretend, which involves role playing. The first stanza of the poem sets the stage concerning what is to follow in the poem. In stanza one, ‘shuffling about in a flutter of flour’ (line 2) describes the fidgeting and hyper-active movement of the speaker of the poem, who is a four year old boy. Through the eyes of this four year old boy, we are introduced to his younger brother Derek. In line one, Derek is described as dangling on the kitchen chair, from this, deductions can be made that he is so young that his legs do not even reach the kitchen floor. In line five, the word ‘perched’ is used to also describe how Derek is sitting on the chair. In line six, Derek is likened to a bird, which makes the adjective, ‘perched’, most apt as it is mainly used to describe the way birds...

...Gun Control Thomas J. Williams Sr. Comp Ge 217 Rachael Stanford March 4, 2015 The article about columbine and the 5 year old really outraged me because I believe there were signs of trouble before the shooting but I believe the administration and people around them just didn’t pay attention to the boys. Probably saying ‘boys will be boys”. It turned out to be the worst school shooting in history. The article said “A Kentucky mother stepped outside of her home just for a few minutes, but it was long enough for her 5-year-old son to accidentally shoot and kill his 2-year-old sister with the .22-caliber rifle he got for his birthday.” (5-year-old Kentucky boy fatally shoots 2-year-old sister) There is no good reason a young child should own a gun but the worst part is this is not the first and probably won’t be the last. There are others like this like two other incidents involving young children shooting others. In early April, 2013 a 4-year-old boy in Tennessee shot and killed a 48-year-old woman, and just days later, 6-year-old Brandon Holt was killed in New Jersey after being shot in the head by his 4-year-old playmate. “On April 20, 1999, two teens went on a shooting spree at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, killing 13 people and wounding more than 20 others before turning their guns on themselves and committing suicide. The crime was the worst high school shooting in U.S. history and prompted a national debate on gun control and school safety, as well...
