...Safeguarding children in early years setting Theoretical perspectives on safeguarding have developed over the years and include a range of different themes and perspectives.(Oliver and Pitt 2011).Therefore I have decided to do my literature review on safeguarding children as I feel that gaining for knowledge on how to safeguard children I am able to be more confident and also apply them to my setting. I also want to improve my knowledge of current policies and practice aimed at safeguarding children and young people. In my setting I avoid to implement the safeguarding policies as I do not have much knowledge. In my literature review I will research on how we safeguard the children, working together with other agency, the effects on children that are maltreated. I will be also looking at theories and why child maltreatment occurs. Safeguarding legislation and government guidance says that safeguarding means protecting children from maltreatment, preventing impairment of children’s health or development ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care (Barlow and Schrader-McMillan 2010). However according to the legislation taking action is there to enable all children and young people to have the best outcome. “The action we take to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm - is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and families has a role to play working together...

...It’s A Science! A Review of Why We Buy by Paco Underhill Abstract Paco Underhill set out to gather data to research the science of shopping and has detailed his findings in his book, Why We Buy. A self-proclaimed urban geographer and retail anthropologist, Underhill has compiled a database of shopping behavior patterns. He has spent countless hours tracking customers as they move through stores, observed shoppers’ browsing and purchasing behaviors, took notes on how long shoppers spent in a store, what they touched and bought, how much they spent, and so on. He founded a research company called Envirosell which consults with clients to help them improve their product sales. The following review of Underhill’s book entitled, Why We Buy, summarizes some of the key findings of his science of shopping, related literature and implications for the study of and future of marketing as a result of Underhill’s findings. Key Findings Paco Underhill breaks down the science of shopping into three separate topic areas. The first part of the book approaches how customers interact with both the physical space of the store and with other people. "It’s a law of nature – shoppers need a landing strip” (Underhill, 1999, p. 44). The landing strip that Underhill refers to is defined as a transition zone related to the physical layout of stores. Shoppers when they first enter a store enter into a transition zone where they have to adjust to their new surroundings. Moving from their...

...classrooms that are part of these brick-and-mortar schools are no longer competitive and vital to the learning process. Instead, students now pay most attention to the information they get off the internet. Sites like Wiki and Facebook have figured out the formula to keeping our young people’s attention. Why should we as tax payers continue to supplement this dying form of education when the answers can be found by researching the success of the online college education system and the top ranked education countries around the world? While on vacation in Phoenix I noticed TV commercials toting an online education that the state sponsors. I could not believe that I was hearing this, state sanctioned home schooling. Let’s think outside the box for a moment. Think of the savings we could make with rethinking the way we teach our students. I am a firm believer that all students need to go to school to learn how to get along socially and learn how to deal with people that are different from you, as well as exercise, but there has to be a better way of organizing how we teach children the curriculum. Studies have shown that the United States is beginning to lag behind other countries when it comes to how well our children perform when they get out into the real...

...therefore as employees we are fascinated with obtaining more money so it comes as no surprise when it is said that money is a motivator but in the past we didn’t have much money and therefore people were eager to work hard to achieve bigger salaries, whereas these days most people are paid well and it therefore becomes hard to motivate them (Wyld, 2011). In this essay I will show that there are other ways of motivating people. A current survey of employed workers shows that although money can motivate it is not a top motivator. The survey showed that intangibles such as recognition, involvement, challenge, pride, communication, meaningful work, and opportunity for growth are more powerful employee motivators. This is in no way saying that money does not motivate because it does to a point. The strength to which it motivates will depend on the individual. For example an unemployed person or someone with bills to pay or someone with children going to school will be more aware of monetary needs whereas an employed person once able to meet their monthly expenses will see money as a way of keeping score of what they have achieved (Half, 2010). This leads to one of the many theories that would be discussed which is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. The others are the Path-Goal Framework and Herzberg’s...
