...Are the SATS fair? If not how could us students change this and make the test fair for everyone? Is the SAT test fair for all races, genders and socioeconomic statuses? This question interested me because we discussed part of it for our first paper. In our first paper we didn’t go to in depth about the SATS but they were a part of the paper. This interests me due to how serious colleges take the SATS. With the SATS some colleges won’t even look at your application. If there are tricks to this test that allows some students to score higher than others this wouldn’t be fair. Dartmouth College had a large amount of wealthy students even though they offered free tuition to the students whose families made $100,000 or less. “At Dartmouth, free...

...Final Paper Prep: History of American Women in World War II Marilyn Thorsted HIS 204 American History Since 1865 (BUH1028C) Instructor: Dana Logan July 26, 2010 Topic The topic that I chose to write on is the History of American Women during World War II. What I would like to focus on is how these women lived and what impact they had on the American society at home or on the battlefront. Thesis: Women in World War II played an important role in defending our country at home and away. They were helpful when it came to filling the much needed jobs that were left behind by the men, and they provided much support on the battlefield as many of them recruited in the arm forces.

Do parents consider the consequences children will experience when they do divorce or do they just think of themselves. Marriage is not easy being in one myself almost twenty five years; having children myself I made it my goal to raise two stable productive people of society. I’m sure that is a goal for every parent, but I put my children first besides my own needs. Nothing is ever perfect and everyday we are not always happy we all go through stages. I decided along time ago I would not get divorced and would work through issues we would have. Having had that experience being a child of divorce I felt I could put my own experience in this paper. I believe I had missed out on many opportunities my counterparts who’s parents stayed married, seeing in my...

...Academic Finance as a Career: The Good, The Bad, and the Not-So-Pretty Don Chance James C. Flores Endowed Chair of MBA Studies Louisiana State University Current version: January 4, 2011 (Original version: November 19, 2007) Most undergraduate and masters students in finance (MS and MBA) are preparing for a career in the world of finance. Oftentimes, jobs in finance have titles like financial analyst, credit analyst, and assistant treasurer, with the possibilities of someday becoming a vice president of finance, chief financial officer, treasurer or some other high-ranking position of responsibility. Finance is an important field to study because it deals with the management of money, a subject of central concern to every business, government agency, or nonprofit organization, and indeed every individual. Knowing how the financial world operates, the characteristics of securities, and how investment decisions should be made serves one well for many career paths. The study of finance also helps to prepare a person to manage his or her own money and increase the likelihood of accruing significant wealth over time through solid principles of investing. Few students consider another finance-related career option: becoming an academic in finance. Most students know little about this career choice. Their experiences with finance academics are typically limited to their familiarity with classes taken from their professors. But there is a lot more to it than this. And it is probably...

...feelings. In Chinese culture, however, academic success is believed to be strictly a product of effort and therefore completely within the control of the student. Because Chinese parents view grades as controllable, they see no reason as to why their children should be expected to achieve anything less than perfect grades. The only excuse for not achieving perfect scores would be laziness, which is considered unacceptable. In this sense, Chinese parents aren’t trying to put undue pressure on their children, but rather to do what is necessary to set their children up for a successful future. However, American parents is more free about kids’ life and work so that they allow them to get some part-time jobs during they’re free time.Parents in America have a free though of letting their children to get a part-time job during their free time. In a 2011 Pew Research Center survey, 64% said American parents were not putting enough pressure on their children to do well in school; just 11% felt parents were putting too much pressure on their kids and 21% thought the amount of pressure was about right.

...program are four year program taught at senior colleges and universities and often is required to obtain a graduate degree in Nursing such as Masters and Doctorate degrees. Both programs generally have an admission process, there are some prerequisite general education and health sciences course required to be completed prior to being admitted to the program, along with background checks and admission to the college or university is required before submitting an application to the program. The Associate and Bachelor degrees prepare nurses to take the National Council Licensure Examination more commonly called the NCLEX-RN. These two degrees have many similarities, however there are also differences and that is what will be explored in this paper. An Associate’s degree in Nursing is a fast way to enter the nursing profession, it's a two year program which consist of general education and nursing core curriculum such as Adult health, Pediatrics, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Psychiatry, Community Health and Geriatrics. This degree trains nurses to be more bedside nurses working in hospital settings, under the guidance of advanced degree nurses. These programs became more prevalent in the 1950's in response to the nursing shortage to help alleviate the shortage. (Friberg, 2016). This option was appealing to a large number of individuals because you could obtain your degree fast and enter the workforce making a substantial wage. Bachelor’s degree in...

...Public Service Announcement Paper Timothy A. Owens SCI/220 June 23, 2014 Carlos J. Carmona Public Service Announcement Paper Attention consumers are you aware that foodborne issues can lead to serious illnesses or death. Foodborne illnesses effect more than 48 million people a year. Children are more susceptible to foodborne illnesses than adults are. If one is not concerned about him or herself, think of how quickly germs spread from one child to another. Storage Are you aware that perishable items should be the last items on the cart after selecting other items? This prevents spoilage. Refrigeration of perishables should take place within two hours of purchase and 1-hour of purchase if the temperature is above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. A helpful hint is to check one’s refrigerator or freezer’s thermostat periodically. The temperature of one’s refrigerator should be set at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and the freeze temperature set at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Many American are unaware of how long products such as fish, ground meats, and poultry can remain refrigerated or uncooked before bacteria starts to build. As a consumer, are you aware? The cdc.gov website is to freeze or cook these items within two days of purchase. On the other hand beef, lamb, pork, and veal can remain refrigerated a minimum of three to five days before cooking or freezing. The best way to prevent leakage of fluids from meats are to insert them in plastic bags. Plastic bags are normally located...

... The following traditional literature review examines the disproportionate number of young African-American males who have been placed in special education. The articles highlight factors such as cultural misunderstandings and teachers’ perceptions and attitudes towards African- American men. This literature review not only observes the misunderstandings, but it also looks at strategies and techniques that can be used to lessen the gap. Keywords: African American boys, African American males, special education, overrepresentation, disproportionate, educationally disadvantaged, cultural Literature Review Introduction: According to a recent study conducted by the Council of the Great City Schools, Black and Hispanic males constitute almost 80 percent of youth in special education programs. In addition, Black males make up 20 percent of all students in the United States classified as mentally retarded, although they are only nine percent of the student population (Barbarin 2011). Over the years, overrepresentation of African American males placed in special education programs continues to be a growing problem and it has not gone unnoticed that some of these identified minorities have been misplaced and inaccurately diagnosed. This paper reviews peer reviewed journal articles on this phenomenon. The authors attempt to explain, through qualitative and quantitative research, where the discrepancies originate – the process for student referrals and the roles of teachers, administration...

To some it means a horrible painful way to die while others are able to look at it as a disease. The word Hepatitis means liver inflamation. The liver is a large, glandular, reddish-brown organ located in the upper right side of the abdomen.
