...children who participate in sports compared to children who do not and if there is a difference, than hopefully sports can be one solution to children who have low self-esteem and do not have many friends and may also help motivate kids to do better in school as well. Based on my research findings, I have found that there are many benefits of sports participation in children. Ultimately, the best reason for children to play sports is to have fun. One major problem our country faces today is childhood obesity. According to Becerra (2009), twenty percent of children in the U.S. are obese, which will increase their risk of many health problems when they reach adulthood. One way children can benefit from playing sports is that it is a fun way to exercise and stay healthy. Not only can sports help children to stay healthy and fit, but it also helps build their self-esteem by giving and receiving encouragement from their coaches and gaining respect from fellow teammates or peers. According to Metzl and Shookhoff (2002), when asked why they play sports, kids say it is to have fun, to improve their skills, to learn new skills, to be with friends, to make new friends, to succeed and win, or to be physically fit. Kids have few ways of getting the attention and respect they need. Metzl and Shookhoff (2002) state that, “what is unique about sports is that they offer kids an arena where they can earn attention and respect by exerting their natural abilities (pg.1). Sports also gives kids a chance...

...Brain-Based Teaching Methods/Solutions for Collegians in Poverty Abstract “The convergence of low literacy levels, poverty, an aging population, immigration, and the globalization of business means that working with the growing and significant segment of the population that comes from generational poverty is no longer just a moral obligation, it has become an economic imperative.” (Krodel, Becker, Ingle, and Jakes, 2008) This quotation highlights the plight of impoverished adults seeking a college education. Hampered by This paper first addresses key learning influencers such as memory, perception, emotion and cognition as they are affected by generational poverty. Then, the principles of brain-based learning are applied to suggest andragogy which mitigates these affects. The community college has been highlighted by no less than Barack Obama as one means to lift the mantle of poverty from those whose development and educational opportunities have been severely limited by virtue of their economic circumstances. In a June, 2009 appearance, the President noted that "community colleges are an essential part of our recovery in the present and our prosperity in the future." Its universal access, local influence and community reach make the community college an ideal institution to undertake this role. And, here in Cleveland, Ohio, this role is particularly critical. In 2012, Cleveland, Ohio was once again designated one of the “Poorest Big Cities in America,” a title it...

...able to prove if the change is benefit, but we will know. The most interesting thing I found in Carr’s paper is the example of how Socrates thought about writing. Here is how he says about it: “in Plato’s Phaedrus, Socrates bemoaned the development of writing. He feared that, as people came to rely on the written word as a substitute for the knowledge they used to carry inside their heads, they would, in the words of one of the dialogue’s characters, ‘cease to exercise their memory and become forgetful.’ And because they would be able to ‘receive a quantity of information without proper instruction,’ they would ‘be thought very knowledgeable when they are for the most part quite ignorant.’ They would be ‘filled with the conceit of wisdom instead of real wisdom.’” The comment Carr makes on this opinion is that, Socrates was’t wrong, but he was shortsighted. This comment is exactly what I want to say about Carr’s paper. Socrates failed to foresee the great progress that writing and reading would serve to spread information, spur fresh ideas, and...

...a desire to be socially independent and with a high ambition to succeed and can include occupation selection, selecting a life-partner, starting a family, accepting responsibilities, and social networking. (Nevid & Rathus, 2005) Middle Adulthood Stages of Development The physical development in middle adulthood can be accompanied a loss of strength, vision sharpness, strength, and coordination. Cognitive development during middle adulthood generally shows an average memory loss and a reduced ability to perform tasks requiring speed. The social and personality development during middle adulthood is considered by some to be synonymous with "mid-life crisis" which heralds the reevaluation of one's life goals and accomplishments and can spur positive changes, not just the negative changes generally associated with mid-life crisis and greater psychological health. (Nevid & Rathus, 2005) Late Adulthood Stages of Development Late adulthood can be marked by menopause and osteoporosis, a reduction in bone density, grey hair, less skin elasticity, and a loss of muscle mass resulting in an increase of body fat. Cognitively, during late adulthood verbal skills such as vocabulary and broad-spectrum knowledge are retained, but memory and mobility tends to decrease. Social and personality development can be affected by many variables during late adulthood: individuals in late adulthood may experience depression that may go untreated, and an individual in late adulthood may experience...

It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain; they change its structure and how it works.Drug Addiction affects more people than you know it. It can hurt the people around you and even yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Many unfortunate factors cause one to fall into drug addiction, but many ways exist for recovery. One way that can cause addiction is peer pressure. It has a big impact on many people and their lives. “Saying “yes” or “no” on the spur of the moment works pretty well most of the time.

Causes of Chronic Pain Syndrome Chronic pain is commonly experienced in the back and/or neck due to a degenerative spine condition that is caused by the natural aging process. A degenerative spine condition may cause your spine to shift out of alignment and press against spinal nerves. When a nerve is pinched, pain signals are being sent from the root of the nerve in your spine to your brain, sometimes along the entire nerve pathway. Common degenerative spine conditions that may cause chronic pain syndrome include: Spinal stenosis Degenerative disc disease Bulging or herniated disc Arthritis of the spine Bone spurs Chronic Pain and Chiropractic...

...Reclamation and Dialect America has a problem on its hands, the Journal of School Health repots that “Thirty-two percent of all US children are overweight or obese and, tragically, most of these children will go on to become obese adults” (Tuckson,MD 137). Obesity is an up hill battle with the children of today mainly because people are too busy. Time is the culprit, whether there is not enough time in the day or too much time with nothing to do. After school hours are full of various activities not all of which are physical, such as music lessons, study halls and club meetings therefore children are in hurry all the time so they "just pick something up" and these spur of the moment choices are generally not healthy. A few reasons behind the growing youth obesity epidemic are bad food choices, lack of exercise, lack of time, and hereditary traits. Also, too much time spent on-line or playing video games contribute to youth obesity as well. According to Reed V. Tuckson, MD, “ Today’s children will suffer from preventable chronic diseases” such as obesity and the health problem associated with it (137). Obesity causes many life threatening health problems at any age, commonly linked aliments include juvenile and type-2 diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, and cancer. Obesity has also been linked to heart disease, which is the number one killer in America. Apparently, American society is taking notice of the constantly growing obesity rate of its youth, which leaves the question...

It’s no secret that the Philippines is addicted to video games, in fact if you’re in a city in the Philippines, you can find an internet cafe within walking distance, and if you enter that internet cafe, there are bound to be teenagers there playing DotA or Counter-Strike or some other game.

Almonte (June 22, 2011) in his case study entitled “Implementation of a digital game-based learning environment for elementary Education” he stated that, “Video games have gained high popularity nowadays that researchers have taken an interest in its use as an educational medium.

...This has given such an impetus to international migration that it floods every corner of the world with the momentum of an avalanche. With this comes a substantial increase in the exchange of human capital between nations. Against this background, the pace of international migration keeps accelerating and the scale of it continuesto expand. However, as is often pointed out, international migration is a two-edged sword with dual effects.Nevertheless, the benefits of international migration are in excess of the economic costs. This essay will examine the brain drain and government spending on education problems for origin countries, meanwhile, unemployment problems, wage problems and social service spending for countries of immigration will also be included.(the essay’s structure) Brain drain for origin countries It is believed that international migration does harm to the human capital of origin countries, which is called brain drain.（this is the topic sentence, it is important.

...Make sure to take advantage of getting to know people from all walks of life, but be selective when you choose who you will be spending a majority of your time with. Make sure you chose people who have the same priorities as you have. If you don’t want to stay awake every night and party instead of studying during weekdays, then don’t put yourself in the position of having to say no all the time to your friends. Instead, make friends with people who have the same priorities and values that you have. Once you make friends, don’t let anyone- including your friends, talk you into doing anything that you are not comfortable with. If you are going to do something you’ve never done before, make sure you think it through instead of making a spur of the moment, spontaneous decision. When you are at college, you will face some of your most challenging times. During these hard times, turn to the best supporters you have: your family.
