More importantly the article emphasizes how these factors influence the challenges Chinese natives face when learning the English language (Fung, 199).

Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? Submit a copy of the proposed regulation along with your responses to these five questions. (10 points) The Federal administrative agency I am interested in is the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

As an immigrant, I find the proposed regulation could influence my entrance, exit and stay within the United States as well as the permit of my relatives to visit or immigrate to the U.S The proposed regulation: “Provisional Unlawful Presence Waivers of Inadmissibility for Certain Immediate Relatives” does affect me, as it could potentially reduce the waiting period required to obtain a US visa permit for close relatives of mine. I am currently working towards becoming a green card holder and would like my Mum to come spend time with me, as I need help in taking care of my newly born baby. If this regulation is accepted it means Mum can have her visa granted quickly (within a month) rather than waiting for years. 2. Describe the proposal/change.

...Introduction (the intent and purpose of the paper) An interview is the most important element in the job searching process. When an employer contacts you for an interview, they are indicating that they are interested in bringing you on board. An interview helps you and the employer determine if the position would be a good fit.

After each question prepare a “response” for each question addressing how you personally would address each question (be detailed and thorough in your replies): • Question #1 – What do you expect to be doing in 5 years time? o My personal response to that question: 5 years from now, I would like to see myself in an executive position at Allina Hospital. There I will have the opportunity to train other employees and have more responsibilities. If I can learn the company surroundings, I can further my business education within the company. • Question #2 – What are your weaknesses? o My personal response to that question: I personally am not a self-confident person and I find it difficult to talk to people I don’t know. However, working with patients on a daily basis and continually needing to speak to strangers has helped me. • Question #3 – Do you have...

There are three different sectors which provide care and education for children in my area, these are: • Statutory Sector • Voluntary Sector • Private Sector Statutory provision: These are services that have to be available by law which are funded and provided by the government such as The Sure Start Programme, The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Children’s Centres, maintained nursery schools and nursery classes in primary schools. All of these services are free, as the child right to education. These services provide a wide range of education in different subjects. Nursery classes in lily’s primary school aims are to support and educate children by giving them the early education they need in order to be ready for primary school. Children are in small groups with the same age group as themselves; therefore they would build a relationship with other children as well as mix with others who have a different background/culture and beliefs.

By answering these questions I hope to show you how important it is to have the right resources to assist the client. What populations have you reviewed and which one have you selected? I reviewed and have selected developmental disabilities population for my special population paper How and why have you selected this population? How was this area of interest formed? I want to say developmental disabilities population has selected me to be a part of their population. I am very luck to work for a wonderful agency call HeartShare Human Services of New York. I was never interested in working in the developmental disabilities field because I was afraid of the unknown of the population. I thought the worst of this population, I though about the bad behavior, diaper changing, and taken a client down in public. To my surprise my clients are so far from the stereotype I had in my mind. HeartShare has helped New Yorkers develop to their fullest potential and lead meaningful lives. We are a community-based organization providing a wide range of services to children and adults with developmental disabilities, families in crisis, and people with HIV/AIDS.

...Research Paper Introduction: My research topic was on toilet training for toddlers, which is very important in the early years of children. I have never done any research on toilet training so this was all very new information and definitely well-needed. There is so much information on toilet training that I will go into later on in my paper. Information on toilet training is very important for parents, caregivers, siblings, babysitters, and day care centers. Anyone who is going to be around young toddlers should have vast amounts of knowledge on the subject and plenty of experience. Description: I introduced the potty to Emma when she was 18 months. I bought her one of those small potty chairs and explained to her this was her special potty. At this time I didn't yet push the potty we were just introducing it to her. I also would let her watch me use the toilet and explain to her "Mommy was going pee-pee on the potty like big girls do!" We will start with the basics to get full understanding of the topic. Toilet training is training a young child to use the toilet. Learning to use the toilet is a big step for toddlers and it can be difficult for some. Some children just seem to train themselves when they are ready, but many need some help from their parents. Parents see toilet training as an important milestone for their children and often become very concerned if it doesn't all go smoothly. For toddlers it is something new to learn. It is one of the steps from...

...does society have? The concept of “nature vs. nurture” remains to be a profound aspect when it comes to studying sociology. The social class we fall in, the education we receive, the gender roles we play, and the media we are exposed to prove to be much larger components in shaping who we are than our chemical makeup. Of course, there are many other key elements that determine our behaviors and morals such as religion, race/ethnicity, and geographic location, but for the purpose of this assignment I am going to concentrate on the first suggested social institutions and statuses. I have been fortunate to have had the chance to study exactly how socialization affects an individual and apply it to my own personal life. I have gained a greater understanding of why I am the way I am, and why my children are the way they are. This insight will surely be used to improve the quality of their futures, as well as my own. Chronic disease has become a major issue in the United States and this isn’t because of a genetic change. Changes in society have led to many Americans who consume a high calorie, low nutrition diet which is affecting their children and children’s children. Studies show that the gestational period, followed by the first two years of a child’s life sets the foundation of health for years to follow. In The First 1000 Days: A Legacy for Life, BBC Radio 4(2011) Dr Mark Porter explains how long-term health is greatly determined during the time of conception through the first...

...Introduction The article When Young Children Use Profanity: How to Handle Cursing and Name Calling was written by Timothy Jay and published in Earlychildhood NEWS on February 17, 2010. The main idea is to give some information regarding usage of “unacceptable” words and phrases use by children and gives some tips to address this issue to teachers, possibly parents and educational institutions. He explains that there are a number of categories of “unacceptable” words and the meaning and impact of them varies upon community, religion, geography and other factors. To control the usage of these words he advises a technique called ABC, which concentrates on the reasons of usage, creation of a well-managed code of conduct and reactions from teachers or parents when this is breached. The author explains the importance of the code of conduct for each institution and informing parents and teachers on the details of it. Further he gives some tips which can nurture good language like the creation of good character traits, role modelling, rewarding, the creation of a good environment as well as avoidance of any potential source of bad words. 2. Audience and Purpose Though the author is addressing Educational institutions but teachers and parents will be interested in this article. The source is Eearlychildhood NEWS and the purpose is informative. It is an academic text and from an academic journal (explain?). The level of language used is neutral to formal.(explain) The tone of the language...

...violence- these are just a few headachy problems that school along with society are currently dealing with. However, the question here is: “Are they morally correct? “ Being at the age of a high school student and working in the student council, I already have and will surely further have difficulty involving with this challenging question. I was always curious and interested in the difference between ethics and morals. When I was making decision, there had been several aspects and sources helping me to figure out why I did that, it sometimes was from my family, or religion, even situation. In my opinion, I believe that I don’t really make moral decision and form values within a culture that affects me as well as formed system of thinking that I have developed for years. As the book, “Moral of the story”, explains the origin and the arising question of what is moral, committing suicide is one of the issues that I have already faced. Through secondary and now high school, I usually was told and read about the phenomenon of students themselves dying recklessly. When I was at 11th grade, I saw a boy jumping out from the fourth floor, because of the pressure of study that his parents expected from him. It saddens me to think that one could possibly want to choose death over life and I still don’t quite understand it. For me, it is a foolish and moral action. The shortest definition I’ve heard, is that morals are how you treat people you know and ethics are how you treat people you don’t...
