...emotional disturbance (or behavioral disorders) represent 8.1% of all students ages 6–21 served under IDEA, or .72% of the school population (U.S. Department of Education, 2002a). However, prevalence studies have suggested that the actual percentage may be much higher. Boys outnumber girls in this category by about 3.5 to 1 (Oswald, Best, Coutinho, & Nagle, 2003). Emotional disturbance refers to a number of different, but related, social-emotional disabilities. Individuals classified as emotionally disturbed meet several criteria established under IDEA, including the following: An inability to exhibit appropriate behavior under ordinary circumstances An inability to maintain relationships with peers or teachers An inappropriate affect such as depression or anxiety An inappropriate manifestation of physical symptoms or fears in response to school or personal difficulties These characteristics must be manifested over an extended time period and have a negative effect on school performance (U.S. Department of Education, 2002a). Individuals classified as emotionally disturbed represent a range of severity, and the disability itself may be temporary or permanent. Specific emotional disturbance areas include childhood schizophrenia; selective mutism (failure to speak in selected circumstances); seriously aggressive or acting-out behavior; conduct disorders; inappropriate affective disorders such as depression, social withdrawal, psychosomatic disorders, anxiety disorders...

...Supply And Demand In the business world, business owners are all concerned with supply and demand. From the large hamburger franchise to the local burger joint down the street, supply and demand effects everyone. Of course, supply and demand are affected by many different factors. In order to adequately show you how some factors affect both supply and demand, let's start off by picking a business to use for an example. I'll use the popular hamburger franchise, McDonald's, in my example. Supply There are many different factors that shift the supply of a business, even a large franchise like McDonald's. They can vary from the amount of suppliers in the area to the changes in resource prices. While it may not seem that the amount of suppliers in the area would affect the supply, it actually does. The amount of hamburger franchises or even the smaller restaurants in the area, will affect where people will get their food. The small chain may offer a better hamburger or a hamburger at a cheaper price. With the economy slowly recovering, people have cut back on spending and limited their budget spent on eating out. This influences their choice of restaurant, and while McDonald's has a hamburger you love, the local hamburger restaurant might offer something similar for less. In the same aspect, McDonald's prices might be higher due to the changes in prices for their resources. As the consumer, it may seem silly for McDonald's to raise their prices when the price of...

...What Dominates Children in American Culture? American culture is dominated by the media which is causing children to become lazy, violent, and less stimulated mentally. Children are influenced by everything that touches their lives. So it’s no surprise that the media plays a major role in molding children. In The Twilight of American Culture, Morris Berman believes that Americans are affected by the decline in the schools systems and are less motivated to read challenging books for stimulating their brain, instead they choose to spend hours watching television and playing video games. Since parents tend to use the television to babysit their children, instead of spending time to get them active, is causing children to become lazy. Obesity is on the rise in American among children. Since children are constantly watching television they are no longer getting adequate exercise. Although television and video games are not one hundred percent responsible for causing children to become aggressive, it still plays a role in forming their aggression. Some children can already have aggression problems, however by watching the violence portrayed in video games and television, they become more willing to express that aggression out on others. Watching too much television can also cause children to become less mentally stimulated. Children would rather receive information instantly instead of taking the time to develop their own view by reading. Berman explains that because...

...Eutrophication Eutrophication is the process by which a body of water becomes rich in dissolved nutrients from fertilizers or sewage, thereby encouraging the growth and decomposition of oxygen-depleting plant life and resulting in harm to other organisms (Encarta dictionary 2007). This is one of the ecological problems that are affecting PAU thought others don’t see it as a problem. Thus, the essay will discuss further on how it is started and evidences of its existence, how to minimize or prevent it from eventuating, and how it affects the environment in which we live in and give a real case study of its effects. Eutrophication began to develop on the lakes of PAU when the campus department stopped cleaning the lakes in order to let the birds to lay their eggs on the flowers growing in the lakes. This is evident in lake two. This has led to eutrophication due to the overcrowding of plant life in the lakes. Some proof that the lakes are becoming entropic are that they smell, overgrowth of plants means the level of oxygen is depleted and less penetration of sunlight, algae are starting to cover the surface of the lakes. Therefore, this shows that lakes here at PAU are starting to become eutropic. Prevention is better than cure therefore it is better to prevent the lakes from becoming eutropic than to cure it after it has become eutropic. As stated in the article, ‘How to cure Eutrophication’ (2012, May 17) that a pond that has become eutropic is hard to rehabilitate. This is...

...Yavuz1 Zeynep YAVUZ PSYC 102/8 Teoman Ertuğrul TULUN 15.02.2013 THE CHAMELEON EFFECT Nonverbal communication is a big part of people's interaction and it includes mimics, gestures, body postures and so on. People who are good at affecting others through their speech always use nonverbal communication tools successfully. The chameleon effect can be described as “ ...unconscious mimicry of the posture, mannerisms and facial expressions of one’s interaction partners” (Bargh, Chartrand 893). In this experiment, Chartrand and John Bargh wanted to show how much people mimic others' body language, whether it has a casual affect on increasing liking and if open minded people are much more affected by chameleon effect or not. Chartrand and John conducted 3 experiments about that subject. In the first one the question is: “Do people automatically mimic others, even strangers?”, the second research question is: “Does mimicry increase liking?” and the third one is “Do high-perspective-takers exhibit the chameleon effect more?” (Dean “The Chameleon Effect”). In the first and second experiment, the independent variable which is changed by experimenters to see if it has a casual effect is the use of mimics by the confederate. In the third one, the independent variable is being able to empathize. Dependent variable which is measured to see if it is affected by independent variable is respectively: mimicking others' body language, the increase of liking when mimicking increases and the degree...

...The Crucible Essay Brandon McDonald In the story “The crucible” by author miller witchcraft has taken its toll in the house of Salem. Everyone in the town will go crazy because they have found a women doing crazy thing in the house of Salem. So in the book they stated that if witchcraft keeps going that all people will be into witchcraft. The people of Salem are religious. Witchcraft affects everyone. So the good people what ever they do involve around god. Witchcraft is affecting everyone because they don’t want people doing it kill them. So they are trying to catch the people that are doing it and kill them. “Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name”. The major part of witchcraft is that everybody hates you forever. The worst part is that they know when you’re doing it because you don’t show up for any community events. The town is all about God so they pray every day about witchcraft. They don’t want to get curtest so they go to church everyday to pray so they thought that a girl was doing it because she was acting weird and always quite. “A man may think God sleeps, but God sees everything, I know it now.

...Sound Intensity and Sleep Deprivation: A two-sample examination of reaction time in an uncontrolled environment Shane Afsar CU Boulder, Fall 2006 Do sound intensities and the amount of sleep an individual obtained affect his or her reaction time? Studies released to the media often report that sleep deprivation adversely affects reaction time – a fact most recognized in the numerous reports which state that driving in a sluggish state decreases an individual’s ability to respond to stimuli. Therefore, we hypothesized that sleep deprivation negatively affects an individual’s ability to respond to sound, regardless of the sound’s intensity. Using a reaction timer, we assigned four individuals as an experimental control that reported seven to nine hours of sleep and tested them at low, medium, and high sound intensities to see if the intensity of the sound does indeed have a significant effect on reaction time. Then, we tested the reaction time of four sleep deprived individuals who reported five hours of sleep at each of the sound intensities. We randomly selected a sound intensity during each trial to attempt to minimize the effects of anticipation. If sleep deprivation harmfully influences an individual’s capability to react to sound (regardless of intensity), then sleep deprived individuals will react more slowly to low, medium, and high intensity sounds compared to well-rested individuals. The mean reaction times to the sound intensities in the experimental control...

...one-person working together can add more ideas. Furthermore, having diversity in a group such as, different cultures, beliefs, and even age can help the group understand and appreciate their input and experiences for any assignment. Differences in the group can also help you be more open-minded which in turn will create a respectful learning environment and better be able relate to your peers. How might factors such as diversity, attitude, learning, and work styles affect collaboration? Although having more than one person work on a project or assignment can be very affective; it can also have a adverse effect. With the diverse styles of ideas, someone in the group may believe one’s idea is better than the other person’s. In addition, age can be a factor; due to someone in the group being 18 years compared to 42 years of age. The team member that is 18 may be considered “ not experienced” enough to be able to give input into the assignment. Learning also affects collaboration , for instance, some of the team members may be visual learners, auditory learners, social learners, or solitary learners How does personal responsibility influence the work and success of a group? Personal responsibility can influence the progress of a group in many...

...changes will prevent us from closing down international offices and will increase the overall revenue in 3 to 5 years. The main aspect of the strategy is that the all the changes that have been mentioned in the organization and the international operations will continue to affect us as a whole until the recession and the economy is recovered. It’s clear that the strategy I will refer best matches to the second strategy which needs to focus on Performance, as well as revenue, that is reviewed every 6 months to a yearly performance that will have a maximum rating of 5% instead of the 8% every six months. This will stay in place until the economic recession that we are facing is eliminated. Ms. Van Michelson being the Human resource manager in the organization I would make some of these permanent and some will be temporary in the appraisal system. The temporary changes will consider modification of performance management of organization. The permanent change will be implemented by restructuring the additional benefit package in which basic consideration will be on cutting expenses. I also feel that if we make such changes we can keep the US operations open in the locations we have and it also will not affect the local communities with unemployment and large layoffs. The first thing I would propose is to not have an bi- yearly performance revenue but instead go to a yearly revenue and we most also look at the pay increase model it is my belief that if we reduce that percentage...

...rewarding us for investment in improved social performance in supply chains” they mean that all the good that Nike is doing doesn’t mean anything to the consumer, ultimately most consumers are just worried about getting the best bang for their buck, otherwise known as getting the best deal. Unfortunately for Nike investment in improved social performance will costs them more money which will lead to product prices to rise. 3. To have an open-systems approach means that although businesses must make a profit in order to survive, they must equal out their desire for profits against the needs and desires of the society. The parties involved would be the company and the society in which it is affecting. The stakeholders would be anyone that can affect or be affected by the actions or decisions of the business. 4. Leadership beyond borders means people who can see across borders created by others, such as the borders of their jobs and reach across borders to engage in dialogue and action to address systematic problems. An example is Nike stepping up...
