...Play Observation Paper Play between all organisms is an action that has been observed by many theorists over time. These theorists have depicted the play of individuals in different environments and have drawn conclusions about play. This project presented me with the opportunity to observe a scenario of children playing and break apart the details to determine what really is happening. I chose to analyze the Baby-Sitting video of two young sisters playing while their mother is videotaping. The older sister is 7, and the younger sister is 7 and her name is Brianna. They have chosen to play house. Their indoor play area includes a toy kitchen, a toy dining area, a baby doll, and other nonrelated toys around them. The big sister is acting as a mother with a baby, and Brianna is pretending to be the babysitter. The moral of their play is that the mom is going on a date with her husband and she tells the babysitter what needs to be done for the little baby while the parents are gone. The babysitter then starts to pretend to do the list of things she was told to do, and then the mom returns again. The video of them playing was only 2 minutes; a lot occurred in such a small period of time. The big sister and Brianna seemed to be getting a long just fine, and there is no arguing over who is the mom and who is the babysitter. The big sister chose the roles and Brianna went along with it. Gregory Bateson was very interested in the way play and fantasy is communicated among organisms...

...HOW I FEEL ABOUT MOMS THAT STAY HOME Shane Sorensen Professor Barbara Hammons CHDV 115 6-10pm Mon, Wed HOW I FEEL ABOUT MOMS THAT STAY HOME Being a stay at home mother would seem like such a wonderful thing to enjoy, but in a world with many expectations and economic demands, it looks as though homes these days are missing one important ingredient, the mother. The mother is such an important role in a child’s life that without her needed nurturing, the child’s life could change dramatically for the worse. In what ways are mothers important? That’s what I would like to discuss, because there are many benefits to having a stay at home mom. The first way that comes to my mind is that the bond between mother and child is vital to the child’s mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual growth. First, let’s focus on their mental growth. Picture a child waking up every morning to a different face, never being able to bond or create a foundation for himself/herself. When that child gets into school, and tries to solve a problem, or fix a dispute between a friend, what if they don’t have the coping skills to work at that problem or relationship when they know that things in their own life are never routed or fixed steadily,(they won’t feel the importance of having steady lasting relationships etc.) they’ll never be able to develop the important skills like problem solving and bonding. Now I would like to focus on the physical aspects of a child’s growth...

...parents; who who watches our kids full time while we are at work. At the time, we had two options. First, buy a new home farther from work. It is bigger, made to our specification, have the luxuries we desired, less to maintain and have the most comfortable settings for everyone in the household. The second option was to purchase a modest home near our work, giving us the shortest commute that will result in more family time and, lower mortgage payment which is a benefit financially. Given that, since it is smaller, there are going to be considerable challenges in terms of space for us and our babysitters. In the end, we opted for the modest option, saving for our kids future and spend more time as family because this is what important to us and bring us happiness. Looking back now, due to that decision, I have the extra time to pursue higher education. Even with limited space, the babysitters have adjusted. On that note, yes, I definitely think it was ethically appropriate....

...made me very nervous as a child. Due to the abuse in my home towards my mother, it caused me to be very protective of my loved ones. I believe a child should live a life in his or her home without feeling nervous and afraid. Every child deserves a peaceful and loving home. My mother always made sure my brother and I felt loved. We would attend church every Sunday and participate in all the youth events. She made sure we completed our chores and homework before we could begin any playing time, because of that it helped me to learn what was important to least important. As a teen, I was always willing to babysit my younger cousins, ranging in age from infant to toddlers. My care and love for babies made it very easy to become a babysitter. When the married couples in the family would have a date night, I would be the first one they ask to babysit. During my time of being a sitter, my passion for babies increased more, and more, and I shared most of my time with them, sometimes keeping them overnight. There were times I thought of them as my dolls. It made...

...Introduction Throughout my life I have experienced many trials and tribulations, traveled to many states and countries, met great friends from all over and have been blessed to have a great family behind me. When my family decided to move to North Carolina following my eighth grade year, my life was soon to change. I was going to be immersed into a new southern culture which was completely unfamiliar but exciting to say the least. The thought of playing golf in the south, meeting new friends, and seeing what was forthcoming in fast approaching years was great. When I started school in Kinston, North Carolina in the fall of 2002 I began getting to know my classmates, the faculty and most importantly this new southern society I was immersed in. As the weeks and months went by there was something that caught my eye. It was evident at this extremely private prep school the norms and values everyone held dearest. The idea of going to college, being a “success” in life, getting married and eventually having kids was how we were structured. That was “normal.” When I started to notice how the “popular kids” treated the ones who weren’t as good looking or “got the girls” so to speak, I began to realize many things about our structured society. I began noticing what this alienation like behavior did to my fellow classmates both on the socialized level as well as their own self perception. It made them quiet, not in the “click”, lonely, and I assume ashamed about who they were...

...In a recent article of The Wall Street Journal entitled Regulators Boost Wages, Overtime for Health Aides, it describes how the Labor Department has extended minimum-wage and overtime pays to nearly two million workers in the home health-care industry that will take effect January 1, 2015. In an industry that is known for working lengthy hours to satisfy the needs of our elderly population, this is finally a step in the right direction. In this country, home health-care has been lumped into the same category as teenage babysitters when it comes to how much they make and before this movement for overtime rates, these workers could work more than 40 hours a week and never qualify to get paid time-and-a-half for their extra hours. According to the president of the Service Employees, Mary Kay Henry, “The Obama administration has made good on its promise” to extend wage and overtime benefits to health care work; this is a promise that seems to be very much overdue in the United States. Caring for the elderly and making it possible for them to stay in their homes as long as they are able should be more of a priority in this country; however, to be able to do this we need to have an adequate amount of staff to be able to accomplish this. Not only do we need ample staff members, we need these people to be properly trained. I feel it is a shame that we are attaching such a low price tag on the people that are taking care of our elderly and aging population. Labor Secretary Tom Perez...

...Alike any other organization Walmart’s policy has been derived from increasing the firm’s profit margin. This is the firm’s responsibility for it’s shareholders. For Wal-Mart, using Kronos translates to improved productivity and customer satisfaction. Management reported a 12-percent gain in labor productivity in the quarter ending January 31, 2008. Therefore Walmart’s action is benefiting the shareholders thus the firm is fulfilling its obligation to the shareholders. Nevertheless, For Wal-Mart employees, known to the company as associates, the change may decrease the stability of their jobs and, possibly, create financial hardship. Then, the employees or the stockholders, which one of these the firm should satisfy more? This is the ethical dilemma facing walmart. The scheduling generated by Kronos can be unpredictable, requiring associates to be more flexible with their work hours. Stores may ask them to be on call in case of a rush, or to go home during a slow spell. Irregular hours, and inconsistent paychecks, make it more difficult for employees to organize their lives, from scheduling babysitters to paying bills. Alerts from the system may also enable store managers to avoid paying overtime or full-time wages by cutting back the hours of associates who are approaching the thresholds that cause extra benefits to kick in. Walmart’s initiative to increased it’s workforce efficiency may be difficult for some of the employees. Employees can quit anytime and find another...

...Personality Overview Theories of personality are truly amazing as each theorist speculates from his or her own point of view. All theories are a reflection of their author’s personal background, childhood experiences, interpersonal relationships, philosophy of life and the way they look at the world (feist & feist, 2009). In the following document strengths and limitations will be discussed in relation to underlying assumptions, deterministic versus free will, and awareness of self through conscious and unconscious motives for behavior. The psychoanalytic theory presented by Sigmund Freud paved the way for future psychoanalysts to add their own theories. According to McLeod (2007) Psychodynamic approach assumptions include our feelings that are powerfully affected by unconscious motives. Our behavior and feelings as adults are rooted in our childhood experiences and all behavior has a cause, even slips of the tongue. Therefore all behavior is determined. Personality is made up of three parts and behavior is motivated by two instinctual drives. Parts of the unconscious mind are in constant conflict with the conscious part of the mind. According to Berryhill, (2011) one major concept and underlying assumption of Freud’s theory subdivides the human mind into three distinct categories. According to his theory the components of the mind include the conscious, preconscious and the subconscious areas. The conscious mind also includes our current thinking processes, behaviors and...

...of almost every single family on our planet. And not just an ordinary member, but a very important one, because the time spent next to it exceeds the amount of time spent together with any other family member”. (Watterman, Alex 2010.) Some people can argue that children should be allowed to watch a lot of television because it is educational. However, I believe television has a 50/50 effect on children. Well what do you mean? What can prove otherwise that makes you believe that chidren are effect in good and bad ways? Children learn through the action of others that they can gain what they want through being stronger and treating other people like they are inferior. Statistics have proved that the growth of time spent next to the TV-set scales up the development of aggression (Watterman, Alex. 2010.). However, with the increased rate of working parents, most children come home from school and are left alone or with a babysitter who may not care what the children watch on TV. Unless parents supervise what their kids are watching, children may end up watching shows with violence, sex and bad language. Children that view such shows are likely to fear that the world scary or that something bad will happen to them. Furthermore, the children...

...I was born to the parents of Robert and Rosemary Andrews. My parents divorced while I was young. I grew up not knowing my father until later on in my life. My mother worked constantly leaving me in the care of my grandparents and different babysitters. I was the type of child that needed constant attention, love and supervision. My earliest experience in being broken by love or a lack of love was when I was 10. One day I overheard my aunt talking to my grandmother. My aunt was saying the reason for my actions was because my mother didn't want to hold me until I was walking. She also believed the absence of my father reflected the child that would never experience love. As a child at 10 my world was crushed and destroyed mentally. My mother was never around and if she was it was with one of her boyfriends. That left me alone 85 percent of the time with my elderly grandparents. So since I was always alone by myself and not feeling wanted by my mother it made me resent her which resulted to me not respecting women. My grandfather once told me love is like a flower you have to nurture it. The first time I thought I experienced love from someone other than my grandparents or aunties was from a female name Jaela. Long story short lets just say it was a disastrous an painful experience and added more fuel to the fire. I had real disdain and trust issues when it came to women so, in my future relationships and marriages, they failed miserably. It wasn't until 2012 in the month of December...

...their parenting skills by spending quality time with their children, playing a vital role and are banned from smacking their children. Firstly, parents should spend more quality time with their children. According to Porpora (2012), “Oftentimes parents fail to be actively engaging with their children”. This is because their children stay with the babysitters or day-cares more to with their parents especially when their parents are at work. Considering this, parent must be involved in a schedule which includes children’s time with parents. The parents can plan the daily timetables carry out some activities with their children. For example, their parents can tell the bedtime story or can make the cookies together with their children (Hoch, 2012). Consequently, spending time with children is one of the ways to improve parenting skills. Furthermore, parents have to play a vital role in their children’s life. Parents should shape their children to avoid falling into unhealthy practices (Bernama, 2012).This is because children are just like a piece of white paper. Whatever parents do will be influence their children to learn their actions. If parents fail to be a good role model, children will become confused and might rely on their peers or other people which could expose them to negative elements. Consequently, according to Pin (2012), “Effective parenting comes with plenty of love, sacrifice, effort,...
