...Spokane. The two boys, Victor Joseph and Thomas Builds-the-Fire, tell the stories of conflicts with family members and struggles among their peers. In Indian education, Victor narratively tells the fights, discrimination and confusion he and his friends went through. High rate of violence, substance abuse and mental health problems appear among Indian students in the reservation schools. It is clear that the defective education system and school environment in Native American reservations leads to those severe issues. Violence is one of the key issues that appear in Native American reservation schools. In Indian Education from The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, the main character Victor witnessed a fight between Randy, the new Indian kid, and Steve. Randy was transferred from a white town. Within an hour after he first arrived his new school, Steve Flett picked on him by calling him names. Many students gathered around in the playground to witness the fight. During the fight, Steve kept demanding Randy to throw the first punch and eventually evoked Randy. Randy pinched a ball and broke Steve’s nose; the students are in awe for such behavior. Victor said Randy “taught me the most valuable lesson about living in the white world: Always throw the first punch.”[1] It is clear that Victor and other...

...increase theft, and can be used for non-educational purposes like cheating, cyberbullying, and sexting. Most students are easily distracted in the class room; therefore, by allowing students to bring their cell phones to school will not only distract teachers, but also other students. An example of this is a cell phone ringing. If someone’s phone rings in class, it will cause everyone to lose focus of what is going on and pay more attention to the person whose phone rang. Other students are distracted by the many features on their phones’. Cell phones nowadays are like mini laptops. In “Updating Policy on Latest Risks for Students with Cell Phones in the School,” Vanessa St. Gerard discusses the negative and positive uses of cell phones in school. St. Gerard argues, “As technology continues to advance, more issues with cell phones and other electronic devices in schools will surely arise” (45). St. Gerard also points out, “Cell phones are not designed for simply making and receiving phone calls anymore. Advanced technology now developed for cell phones allows them to play music, take pictures, record video, provide Internet access, and send and receive text messages” (44). Having all these features on one’s phone can be a distraction. When students engage in such activities, they tend to fall behind in their class work. In his article, “Recent Court Rulings Regarding Student Use of Cell Phones in Today’s Schools,” Thomas Diamentes talks about...

PURPOSE, AUDIENCE, TONE, AND CONTENT L E A R N I N G 1. 2. 3. 4. 6 O B J E C T I V E S Identify the differences between summary, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation paragraphs Identify the content in writing paragraphs Demonstrate how audience and tone influence content Apply purpose, audience, tone, and content to a specific assignment Imagine reading a poorly written review of a movie that you would like to see this weekend. You cannot follow the characters, action, or conflict because the author of the review rambles on and on. Without clear paragraphs, this review will likely lose your interest, and you may skip the movie altogether! When you are the writer, it is helpful to position yourself as a reader. Ask yourself whether you can focus easily on each point you make. Effective writers use a single paragraph for each new idea they introduce. Paragraphs separate ideas into logical, manageable, and distinct units. Each paragraph focuses on only one main idea and presents coherent sentences to support that single point. Because all the sentences in one paragraph support the same point, a paragraph may stand on its own. Each paragraph is shaped by Purpose: the reason why the writer composes the paragraph. < Tone: the attitude the writer conveys about the paragraph’s subject. < Audience: the individual or group whom the writer intends to address. < Content: the written material in the paragraph...

Executive Summary The internet has created a new useful economic ecosystem, the E-commerce, and it has been developing and growing for the past decade. It has become the main stream of the world, which provides a quicker and more convenient way of sharing and exchanging ideas, goods and services, both regionally and globally. In the past decade, many new startup e-commerce companies have ruled the market share from the retailers and service providers. As old retailers continue to recess in their market share to the e-commerce, their revenues, operating margins and profits also declines. Internet penetration rates have a great impact on e-commerce growth rates. More than 90% of the...

...a SWOT analysis for Custom Coffee & Chocolate. Strengths * Formal Education - Both, Bonnie and Stacy had formal education in management and marketing; this provides them the basic knowledge of how to manage a business. * Experience – They worked for several years in other companies acquiring the experience necessary to take on a challenge of establishing a new business. * Intimate knowledge of their core customer – As former students of the university, they have a good grasp of the people they cater to. Weakness * Location (Yes, location) – Anyone would think that the perfect location would be near the university, but I don’t think so and this is why: although the university is a good location, only have traffic during school seasons; take away summer recess, winter break, and all other holidays and off days and the opportunity to capture customers gets substantially reduced to those days when the university is open. Compare the university location against Pike Place Market, which is a business center with lots of business people and shoppers that work and shop all year around. Also, the spending power of business people is higher than that of students, thus allowing Bonnie and Stacy to offer their products at a higher price since these demographics are willing to pay a higher price for higher quality – not so with students since their disposable income is limited. One more point to ponder is the uneven flow of traffic; I can see lots of students going to...

...behavior. Operant conditioning was coined by behaviorist B.F. Skinner, which is why you may occasionally hear it referred to as Skinnerian conditioning. As a behaviorist, Skinner believed that internal thoughts and motivations could not be used to explain behavior. Instead, he suggested, we should look only at the external, observable causes of human behavior. Skinner used the term operant to refer to any "active behavior that operates upon the environment to generate consequences" (1953). In other words, Skinner's theory explained how we acquire the range of learned behaviors we exhibit each and every day. Examples of Operant Conditioning We can find examples of operant conditioning at work all around us. Consider the case of children completing homework to earn a reward from a parent or teacher, or employees finishing projects to receive praise or promotions. In these examples, the promise or possibility of rewards causes an increase in behavior, but operant conditioning can also be used to decrease a behavior. The removal of an undesirable outcome or the use of punishment can be used to decrease or prevent undesirable behaviors. For example, a child may be told they will lose recess privileges if they talk out of turn in class. This potential for punishment may lead to a decrease in disruptive behaviors. Components of Operant Conditioning Some key concepts in operant conditioning: Reinforcement is any event that strengthens or increases the behavior it follows. There...
