...the three main factors that I personally believe have the most traumatic and continuous effect on society that will ultimately repeat itself and create a pattern of issues that society will be forced to resolve in the future. It is my desire and personal goal to acknowledge each issue that many children face, label and prove it to be a awful disability, an find a realistic resolution to each issue addressed as a disability. According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, in the United States, 21 percent of children live in families with incomes below the federal poverty line. Although many of these families have working parents, low wages and unstable employment make it difficult to provide the necessary resources for proper childhood development. Not only does research indicate that poverty is a threat to a child's well-being, but it also affects his ability to learn. Regular attendance at school is important for educational success. Absenteeism has a negative affect on academic achievement in reading, math, and general knowledge. The NCCP has found that among poor children, chronic absenteeism in kindergarten predicts low achievement levels at the end of the fifth grade. Poor families' lack of resources such as transportation, food, and clothing may prevent children from attending school...

Feelings of hopelessness, No one can imagine the suffering you are feeling. This is what people go through everyday with restrictive or obstructive lung disease, while both are different they are very much the same and they are deadly however they are treatable as well as preventable. Restrictive lung disease as known as restrictive ventilator defects is where the disease causes the lung to restrict its expansion which makes it los lung volume. Which in other words the lung its self as lost its ability to expand due to lose of tissue or cell stiffening due to invasive environmental factors. Having a restrictive lung disease can make it very hard to breath and impairs the body’s ability to transfer oxygen into the body’s bloodstream. Without having the proper amount of oxygen in our blood our bodies can begin to shut down. Now obstructive lung disease is the opposite, obstructive lung disease is where the lung cannot exhale all the air in the lungs. This can be cause by damage or narrowing of the airways as well as blocked or inflamed airways. We exhale carbon dioxide and not being able to exhale all the air in the lung can lead to poisoning...

...commonplace in my experience and I accepted them as absolutely harmless. I had seen the calming affect these rituals had on my classmate. My five year-old self was unknowingly picking up on behaviors that were the hallmark of autism. I attended an elementary school that was located in the autism hub of the county; so several students with autism were mainstreamed, or assimilated, into my classes. These students were not the majority. Rather, neurotypical students, a term used to describe children without a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder, composed the majority of our school’s population. As I have received more schooling and worldly experience, I have come to know and love the autistic community. I even chose a career path that will lead me to help treat children with autism as an Occupational Therapist. As I set out on my journey researching autism spectrum disorders, I sought answers to the loaded question, what is the best hope for a child diagnosed with an autism...

...Great Expectations by Charles Dickens In this essay I will be exploring the ways in which Charles Dickens builds tension in the novel great expectations. In this novel I will be discussing the main themes used by dickens to place the viewer in suspense and tension. Dickens focuses on the main characters like Pip and the convict in order to create tension and suspense as Pip was the main point of sympathy since he was presented as an orphan whilst the convict was illustrated as a monster. Great expectations is on the subject of a little boy called Pip who thinks that money will buy everything however through the help of the convict, soon after in his life he will discover that money will not obtain him joy. The most significant obsession in life is the theme of happiness which Pip finds at the subsequent stages of the novel where he catastrophically falls in love with Estella, therefore regrets his action of choosing money in excess of his friends and family. Whilst dickens uses descriptive language to assemble an image in the readers mind he also uses powerful language in order to involve the reader within the novel in addition to allow the reader experience the themes and emotions. This Essay will explore how Dickens builds tension throughout his novel using imagery and his powerful language in both the setting and weather in chapter 1 and 39 whilst exploring the emotions of two main characters Pip and the convict in chapter 1 and 39 of the novel. ...

...The Hell of Nineteen Eighty-Four. ). Did Orwell realise quite what he had done in Nineteen Eighty-Four? His post-publication glosses on its meaning reveal either blankness or bad faith even about its contemporary political implications. He insisted, for example, that his 'recent novel [was] NOT intended as an attack on Socialism or on the British Labour Party (of which I am a supporter)'.(1) He may well not have intended it but that is what it can reasonably be taken to be. Warburg saw this immediately he had read the manuscript, and predicted that Nineteen Eighty-Four '[was] worth a cool million votes to the Conservative Party';(2) the literary editor of the Evening Standard 'sarcastically prescribed it as "required reading" for Labour Party M.P.s',(3) and, in the US, the Washington branch of the John Birch Society 'adopted "1984" as the last four digits of its telephone number'.(4) Moreover, Churchill had made the 'inseparably interwoven' relation between socialism and totalitarianism a plank in his 1945 election campaign(5) (and was not the protagonist of Nineteen Eighty-Four called Winston?). If, ten years earlier, an Orwell had written a futuristic fantasy in which Big Brother had had Hitler's features rather than Stalin's, would not the Left, whatever the writer's proclaimed political sympathies, have welcomed it as showing how capitalism, by its very nature, led to totalitarian fascism? With Nineteen Eighty-Four, it is particularly necessary to trust the tale and not...

...Home › Social Awareness › Facts About Sweatshops Facts About Sweatshops BY ENDMODERNSLAVERY - PUBLISHED: 11/24/2013 - SECTION: SOCIAL AWARENESS One of the most galling things about Western culture at the moment is the sense of entitlement. Many of us have government funding for support or hold down full-time jobs. The majority of Western countries have modern human rights laws and will help anybody who is in trouble or distress, within reason. The sense of entitlement leads many of us who have perfectly healthy, enjoyable lives to feel that we are the ones on the end of a hard time from fate. However, have you ever considered the conditions in other parts of the world? You may think you are having a hard time, but when is the last time you were forced to work two or three days in a row? When was the last time you considered how lucky you are to be able to splurge on apair of expensive shoes? One thing you should be thinking about in this situation is where these expensive extras you have are actually coming from. Your clothes tend to be made, wrongly, by sweatshops owned by the huge corporations that you buy from. Those who work in sweatshops are desperately unlucky to have to do so – the rate of pay is pathetic, working conditions tend to be poor, and human rights violations are almost constant. Here are just some facts that you should understand about working in a sweatshop. It may help you create some gratitude for your own lifestyle, or realize just how hard some people...

...Heather Richard EDUC 611 Treatment Plan Liberty University Introduction You are a school counselor in a Title One middle school located in the heart of Newark, NJ. Recently, there was a shooting at your school that involved many students. Classrooms were locked down for three hours. A few days ago, a teacher at your school said she saw in the crisis handbook that following a crisis, teachers should look for student behavior that is out of the ordinary as a way of identifying students who may need to see the school counselor. The student she is concerned about is a seventh grade (13 year old) Asian male named Tai. She said that he seems to be more withdrawn since the shootings and believes one of the students who were shot was a friend of his. Tai is new to the school this year and participates in the free lunch plan. Case Conceptualization and Needs Assessment Having a comprehensive crisis management plan in place allows members of the school staff and community to be aware of policy and procedures related to identifying students who may be in crisis. A crisis management plan should detail student behavior which may be signs of mental illness or crisis. In doing so school staff have criteria in place that helps identify those who may need assistance. According to Allen et al., the role of the school counselor is defined by the American School Counselor Association's (ASCA, 2000) by the statement, "the professional school counselor's primary role is to provide direct counseling...

...The Interpretation of Dreams Sigmund Freud (1900) PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION Wheras there was a space of nine years between the first and second editions of this book, the need of a third edition was apparent when little more than a year had elapsed. I ought to be gratified by this change; but if I was unwilling previously to attribute the neglect of my work to its small value, I cannot take the interest which is now making its appearance as proof of its quality. The advance of scientific knowledge has not left The Interpretation of Dreams untouched. When I wrote this book in 1899 there was as yet no "sexual theory," and the analysis of the more complicated forms of the psychoneuroses was still in its infancy. The interpretation of dreams was intended as an expedient to facilitate the psychological analysis of the neuroses; but since then a profounder understanding of the neuroses has contributed towards the comprehension of the dream. The doctrine of dream-interpretation itself has evolved in a direction which was insufficiently emphasized in the first edition of this book. From my own experience, and the works of Stekel and other writers, [1] I have since learned to appreciate more accurately the significance of symbolism in dreams (or rather, in unconscious thought). In the course of years, a mass of data has accumulated which demands consideration. I have endeavored to deal with these innovations by interpolations in the text and footnotes. If these additions do...
