...students curriculum. In a paper entitled “The Purpose of Education” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., eloquently states, “We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.” In the grand scheme of education, there are many ethics that can be taught to students. Here are just a few. Honesty One day while at school Susie confides in her friend Sally that she’s thinking about committing suicide, but she makes Sally promise that she will never tell a soul. Sally is distraught at the thought of losing her friend, and decides to tell Susie’s parents. But this act of honesty comes with a price to be paid. After being confronted by her parent’s Susie immediately informs Sally that she will never speak to her again. Leaving the opportunity for discussion open, a story as simple and yet profound as the one above can teach a child the cause and effect of honesty. Teaching honesty in school aged children is a means of investing in our future. Teaching honesty instills the thoughts in children that: telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished, you gain a reputation for being truthful — a trait most people value, and that telling the truth helps you feel secure, confident, and at peace. Integrity and Courage Day after day, Joe and his friends stand by awkwardly as Jimmy steals little Billy’s lunch money on the way to school. Joe know’s that it is wrong, but he isn’t sure what will happen if he intervenes...

...The government Policies of Protection and Assimilation impacted the lives of the Stolen Generation negatively, contradicting its main purposes. The term ‘Stolen Generations’ was used to describe the unwilling removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from 1901 to 1970. The children had to abandoned and reject their Aboriginality, assimilating into western values and norms. Consequently, many suffered from the trauma of losing their families, identity and culture. Also, the Aboriginal children had to cope with discrimination from the white community and the fact of having their human rights taken away. The loss of family and a motherly figure negatively impacted the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. The Policy...

...complacent while living the American dream. The youth of the 1960’s are responsible for the creation of the counter-culture formation. They rejected the perfect American life they inherited from their parent’s generation and many of the fundamental values that their parents tried to instill in them. The children of the post-war generation grew up with many luxuries and advantages their parents had not been privy to. Leaving home to attend college gave many students the freedom to participate in various movements for causes. The lack of parental supervision, and the ability to mobilize with other like minds created the environment that they could correct the wrongs of American society. The War in Vietnam was a perfect platform for their voices to be heard. In the mid 1960’s, a poll showed that more than half the population was opposed to the war. The formation of youth movements were created. The Students for a Democratic Society called on students to help build a society based on “participatory democracy” was the most well known. The U.S. and the South Vietnamese joint invasion on Cambodia triggered more protests on college campuses as the invasion was in violation of international law. Students, fellow Americans and soldiers were starting to resent fighting a losing battle for the sake of trying to save face. They wanted peace and demanded that their government started to listen. Young men were burning their draft cards and many crossed the border to Canada for exile...

...Cyberbullying on the Victim ……….. 6 Effects on School ……………………………… 8 Conclusion ……………………………………… 9 Reference Page …………………………………. 10 Introduction Young people today are using the internet more than ever. They view the internet and even more so the mobile phones as positive aspects of our society. The internet and mobile phones systems are the two biggest systems of communication which play a crucial role in our daily activities and development of identities. On the other hand, these same technologies are also often used negatively. Many children are the targets of bullying via the internet or mobile phones resulting in total confusion on the part of the "target". Very often, children are not able to understand that what they are going through is a form of bullying. As a result the previously safe environment of the internet is now becoming a source of confusion and anxiety. Cyberbullying follows children around the clock, and into the safety of their homes. Many times, kids are scared to tell their parents about cyberbullying, thinking they will be blamed, lose their Internet privileges, or that their parents will call the school or other parents, probably making the bullying worse. However, the pain that comes from cyberbullying is real. Parents should not underestimate the power of online or cell phone bullying, just because it may be happening in cyberspace and not in person. Cyberbullying is a growing epidemic among teenagers in America. Teens are victimized...

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15 to 24 year-olds. Most of the time, people don’t realize that they could have helped a victim because they didn’t know any of the warning signs. The article goes on to talk about the risks of suicide, that 60% of all suicide in America are used with a gun. This is why no one should ever have a gun unlocked or kept in a place where it is easily out of reach. In 1996, more teenagers and young adults died of suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia and influenza, and chronic lung disease combined .In 1996, suicide was the second-leading cause of death among college students, the third-leading cause of death among those aged 15 to 24 years,...

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING Introduction Alcoholism is a disease in which an individual continues to crave for alcohol despite of repeated alcohol-related problems. The signs of alcoholism and alcohol abuse are very similar, and are often just a question of degree or intensity. Typically, the last person to be aware that he/she has a serious drinking problem is the alcoholic himself/herself - they are in denial. Some signs and symptoms of alcoholism as well as alcohol abuse include, drinking alone, not being able to limit how much alcohol is consumed, dropping hobbies and activities the person used to enjoy; losing interest in them, feeling an urge to drink, having relationship problems, having problems with the law, having money problems, and requiring a larger quantity of alcohol to feel its effect (Videbeck, 2007). Alcoholism does not only affect the adults. According to Sociological theory, alcoholism is a learned response. This often happens at a young age. A child may see things around them or on TV of people drinking and they tend to believe that is the right thing to do. This addiction is primarily believed to be because of society's influences. This often will affect persons who mostly drink in groups. This theory is based more on the peer pressure a person might receive, so they often turn to alcohol drinking problems during college years. Moreover, it has become a public health concern because of its effect on the future of a child. The goal of the...

...[pic] [pic] [pic] Background/History Anorexia dates back to about seven hundred years ago, but it was first described in England in the 1800’s. The name Anorexia comes from two Greek words meaning a lack of desire to eat. Professor Ernets Lasegue of the University of Paris identified it as an illness just over 100 years ago. However, Sir William Gull was the first to document and treat anorexia. Sir Gull also gave Anorexia its current name. Anorexia nervosa overview Anorexia Nervo´sa is an eating disorder usually occurring in adolescent females, characterized by refusal to maintain a normal minimal body weight, fear of gaining weight or becoming obese, disturbance of body image, undue reliance on body weight or shape for self-evaluation, and amenorrhea (Dorland’s Medical Dictionary). People who have anorexia have an extreme fear to gaining weight. They severely limit the amount of food they eat and become a dangerously thin. Therefore, Anorexia affects both the body and mind. Though, it may start as an issue of dieting, it gets out of control. People who have anorexia always think about food, dieting, and weight. As a result, they will have a distorted body shape. Though some people tell them they are too thin, in their mind they think they are a fat person. Most of the time, it starts at the age of ten and it's much more common in females than males. Early treatment can be very effective; however, if not treated early, it can become a lifelong problem...
