...The Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) is a multistage shuttle run created by Leger and Lambert in 1982.The PACER is designed to measure aerobic capacity, which is characterized by endurance, performance, and fitness. The objective of the PACER is to run as long as possible while keeping a specified pace. Students run back and forth across a 20-meter space at a pace that gets faster each minute. A point is scored for each 20-meter distance covered. The test is easier in the beginning but progressively gets more difficult. In comparison to distance running, the PACER is a more effective, fun, and easy way to measure aerobic capacity that encourages participation from all youth and is relatively easy to score and administration er.

...conclude that the Bridge School owed a duty of care to Al-Fulani because of its special relationship with him and because the harm was foreseeable. II. Question Presented Whether the Bridge School owed Al-Fulani a duty of care given the school’s supervisory responsibility over student conduct and surroundings, knowledge of Gaines’s targeted harassment of Al-Fulani and recent wave of national violence towards Arab-American students after the World Trade Center attack, and Al-Fulani’s age? III. Brief Answer A court will likely conclude that the Bridge School owed Al-Fulani a duty of care. The law imposes a duty of care on schools when (1) a special relationship exists between the school and student and (2) the harm is foreseeable. Leger v. Stockton Unified Sch. Dist., 202 Cal. App. 3d 1448, 1453-54 (1988). A special relationship between a school and student is created when a school assumes the responsibility to supervise the conduct and control the environment of students, who do not do behave in ways associated with full maturity. Harm to such a student is foreseeable when a school knew or should have known that harm would be likely to occur in the absence of adequate supervision. Id. A special relationship between the Bridge School and Al-Fulani arose from the school’s supervision of the conduct and control over the environment of their students, who have checkered pasts...

...In recent years some sociologists have claimed that the west is becoming more secular. Secularisation is where religious belief, practiced and institutions loose social significance. There has been evidence to suggest that church attendance and the number of baptisms and church weddings are declining. However some sociologists reject secularisation theory and argue that religion is simply changing, rather than declining. They believe it is changing as a result of changes in wider society, such as, greater individualism and consumerism, or a shift from modern to late modern or postmodern society. Davie is one of these sociologists; in her view religion is taking a different, more privatised form. She explains this by giving the example of that people no longer go to church because they feel they have to or because it is respectable to do so. She says that although churchgoing has declined it is simply because attendance is now a matter of personal choice rather than the obligation it used to be. As a result there is believing without belonging, where by people hold religious beliefs but don’t go to church. Therefore the decline of traditional religion is matched by the growth of the new form of religion. Davie also notes a trend towards vicarious religion, whereby people are experiencing religion second hand. This is a typical pattern in Britain and northern Europe. In these societies people still use the church for rites of passage, rituals that make a change of status such...

...Postmodernism is one of the three theories that offer an explanation to the changes from traditional society to the society we live in today. It has been influential in many areas, including Sociology. They argue that we are now living in an unstable, fragmented, media-saturated global village, where image and reality are indistinguishable. For postmodernists, this new kind of society requires a new kind of theory – modernist theories no longer apply. Many sociologists argue that we are now increasingly affected by globalisation which have been brought about through technological, economic, political and cultural changes. Postmodernists argue that there are no true foundations to knowledge which is known as ‘anti-foundationalism’. This view has two consequences. Firstly, although the Enlightenment project of achieving progress is true, the absence of scientific knowledge restricts them from guaranteeing their knowledge is correct, therefore they cannot use it to improve society. Sociologists would disagree and argue that knowledge can be used to solve human problems. The second consequence of their anti-foundationalism view is that postmodernists take a relativist position and reject all-embracing theories such as Marxism, and refers to them as meta-narratives that claim absolute truth. They believe that it is just someone’s version of reality, not the truth. Therefore there is no reason to accept the claims that the theory makes. Postmodernist Baudrillard argues that society...

...secularisation and losing influence over society and its people, with church attendance at an all-time low. At the same time, postmodernists argue that new religious movements (NRMs) are now growing, as people want to fulfil something spiritual in their lives, as they have become tired of the materialistic, money driven society we live in today, alluding to the argument that religion may not be disappearing, but just changing to fit a postmodern society. Hervieu-Leger suggests that religion has declined due to 'cultural amnesia'. In the past, religion was handed down to children by the family, the school and Sunday school. But this tradition has now broken down, meaning that children today are less likely to get a religious identity from their family, so they know much less about traditional religion. Postmodernists argue that the emphasis in postmodern society is for the individual to make choices in their lives about their own personal identity. This has had a number of effects on the nature of religion. Firstly, Hervieu-Leger says that individual consuming has become more important than what religion you are born into. People no longer follow a religion without question or see religion...

...Willem II (Den Haag, 27 mei 1626 – aldaar, 6 november 1650), Prins van Oranje en Graaf van Nassau-Oranje, was tussen 1647 en 1650 stadhouder van Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Overijssel, Gelre en Zutphen, Groningen en Drenthe. Inhoud [verbergen] 1 Biografie 2 Na de Vrede van Münster 3 Staatsgreep 4 Overlijden Biografie[bewerken] Hij was de zoon van stadhouder en prins Frederik Hendrik van Oranje en Amalia van Solms. Hij trouwde op 14-jarige leeftijd met de toen negenjarige Maria Henriëtte Stuart, de oudste dochter van koning Karel I van Engeland. Willem had ambitieuze plannen. Hij wilde de Republiek der Verenigde Nederlanden tot een sterk, gecentraliseerd calvinistisch land maken met hemzelf als monarch. Hij steunde daarbij op de orthodoxe calvinisten en kwam al gauw in conflict met de staatsgezinden. Hij was het in toenemende mate oneens met de politiek van religieuze tolerantie die zijn vader toepaste op de onlangs veroverde Generaliteitslanden, waar de bevolking grotendeels rooms-katholiek wenste te blijven. Willem droeg zijn steentje bij tijdens de Tachtigjarige Oorlog, waarbij de Hinderlaag bij Bergen op Zoom (1643) zijn eerste wapenfeit was. De vredesbesprekingen met de Spaanse koning waren geheel niet naar zijn zin, maar zij waren al te ver gevorderd om nog tot staan gebracht te worden toen zijn vader in 1647 stierf. Ook zijn moeder speelde daarbij een rol. Zij werd voor derving van inkomsten bij vrede schadeloos gesteld. Oppositie tegen de ratificatie...

...Bodelsen Genre: Novelle Drivhuset – Novellen hedder drivhuset fordi en ung dreng er meget fascineret af et drivhus. Titlen passer til novellen, da novellen handler indirekte om et drivhus. Handlingen strækker sig over et flashback igennem hans barndom til nu. Handlingen foregår i drengens tanker, og hans tanker foregår fra, han var barn til han bliver voksen, men selve forløbet af novellen foregår over en nats tid. Miljøet i novellen er beskrevet trygt, dette kan blandt andet tolkes ved at børn leger i lukkede områder af murer og hegne i kvarteret, hvilket gør det indelukket men også meget trygt sted at være, hvorimod gartnerriget er det usikre sted og det voksne liv. Novellen Drivhuset handler om en dreng, der er meget fascineret af et drivhus, der ligger tæt på hans hus, men alligevel længst væk, af det han kan se ud fra sit vindue. Han kan se drivhusets skygge falde 2 gange om året. Han plejer at lege ude ved kvarteret med sine kammerater, en af de lege som de leger, er gemmeleg. En dag gemmer drengen sig i drivhuset, sammen med en pige ved navn Inger, men der hvor de gemmer sig, er i gartnerriget, hvor det er strengt forbudt at gå ind. De lægger sig imellem tomat rækkerne, begynder at røre og kysse hinanden, men hver gang der bliver råbt ’’kom frit frem’’, så rejser de sig op, og går tilbage, for det er en af deres regler som bliver overholdt af alle, og for hvert drivhus, drengen ser i sit fortsatte liv, kommer han i tanke om, drivhuset han kunne se ud fra sit...

...Svensk børnehave afskaffer drenge og piger Børnehave i Stockholm vil undgå stereotype kønsroller med særligt legetøj og debat. Køn. Drenge og piger i daginstitutionen Egalia i Stockholm opmuntres til at lege de samme lege og bruge samme legetøj. - Foto: FREDRIK SANDBERG/AP AF Niels Holst | Man kan også gå for langt i sine bestræbelser på at sikre ligestilling mellem kønnene. Sådan lyder det i Sverige, hvor en børnehave er blevet genstand for en heftig diskussion, skriver nyhedsbureauet AP. Personalet i Egalia-børnehaven, der åbnede sidste år, undgår bevidst at omtale børnene som piger og drenge, men refererer i stedet for til børnene som 'venner' eller det kønsneutrale 'hen' i stedet for han eller hende. Forskellige kønsroller er ikke problematiske, så længe de ikke bliver værdsat forskelligt Tanja Bergkvist, blogger Og den tankegang går igen overalt i børnehaven, hvor såvel bøger, indretning af lokaler og legetøj er udvalgt, så man undgår at børnene udvikler stereotype billeder af kønnene. »Samfundet forventer, at piger er søde og kønne, mens drenge skal være mandige, hårdføre og udadvendte«, forklarer den 31-årige Jenny Johnson fra børnehaven. »Egalia tilbyder dem en fantastisk mulighed for at være lige præcis dem, de selv ønsker at være«, siger hun.

...Believing without belonging is a term used by Davie to describe the fact religion is becoming more privatised, as people have more choice in religious practices that they felt obligated to follow in the past. Many sociologists, such as Davie, argue that religion is not declining; it is just taking an alternate form – such as believing without belonging. Spiritual shopping, a term used by Hervieu-Leger, and ‘Jesus in Disneyland’ are two other ways in which religion is taking on a different relationship within society today. However, other theorists argue that the belief in religion is in fact declining in society, as illustrated by structural differentiation. Weber and disenchantment also support this idea, as well as Functionalists who state that religion involved belonging as well as believing. Firstly, Davie argues that today’s society is trending toward ‘vicarious religion’, where a small number of professional clergy practice religion on behalf of a much larger number of people, who experience it second hand. Even though church attendance may be declining, religious belief is still strong as many people still use the church for rites of passage (e.g. a wedding or a christening). Bibby found that 25% of Canadians attended church regularly, yet 80% of people said they held religious beliefs. Indicating that less people feel obligated to attend church and obey traditional religious teachings, they are able to still have faith in religion but within their private sphere of...

...Assess the view that religion is not in decline but simply changing as a result of changes in wider society (33 marks) Secularisation theorists argue that religion is in decline. However, others have argued that religion is not in decline, but it is in fact changing. They believe it is changing in accordance to the changes within society such as greater individualism, consumerism and privatisation, all which present a shift towards postmodern societies. Grace Davie argues that religion isn’t declining but is taking a much more privatised form. She argues that we now have people in society who ‘believe without belonging’, this means people hold religious beliefs but don’t necessarily go to church because they don’t feel they have to go to church in order to be seen as being a religious person. Therefore, the decline in traditional religion is matched by the growth of a new form of religion. Davie notes a trend towards vicarious religion, which is where a small number of professional clergy practice religion on behalf of a much larger group of people. This pattern is typical in Britain where church attendance is low, but people still use the church for rites of passage in order to ‘hatch, match and dispatch), this related to people using the Church for occasions such as Baptisms, weddings and funerals. She compares vicarious religion as the tip of an iceberg and sees it as evidence for believing without belonging. For example, people may not be able to attend church due to work...

...From 1981 to 1989, the world had two great leaders in power: President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Between the two of them, they revived the economies of the United States and Great Britain. They helped reform their countries foreign policy. Together, President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher had become a team that was unmatched, even today. For different reasons, both individuals had turn into victims of assassination attempts and both survived to continue their times in office. Ronald Reagan was born February 6, 1911. He worked his way through college where he had studied economics and sociology. In 1937, he was granted a contract in Hollywood and appeared in 53 films. Reagan had toured the United States and had become a spokesman for conservatism. From the big screen to politics, Reagan had been elected Governor of California in 1966 and then again in 1970. He won the Republican Presidential nomination in 1980 and was called into office January 20, 1981. Margaret Thatcher was born October 13, 1925. During her college years, she studied chemistry. She was politically active in her youth and served as president of the Conservative Association at her university. In 1947, she had earned a degree in chemistry and worked as a research chemist. A couple of years after graduation, she ran as the conservative candidate for a parliamentary seat in the 1950 elections. She had been defeated but remained undaunted. After the defeat, Margaret...

Met geschiedenis kregen we de opdracht om dieper in te gaan op een bepaald onderwerp in een oorlog. Ons leek het interessant om de rol van de wapens te onderzoeken. Hieruit komt onze hoofdvraag: Wat voor rol hadden tanks en gifgas in de eerste wereldoorlog? De Eerste Wereldoorlog is voor ons een veelzijdig en interessante oorlog, waarbij de rol van wapens een grote functie in had. Het was lastig om een hoofdvraag met deelvragen te maken, omdat je het niet te oppervlakkig en groot wil houden, maar je juist op één ding moet richten.

...society is not becoming increasing secular but forming new religions through choice and diversity. However, Voas and Crockett reject the claims Davie puts forward, explaining that if her thesis was to be true the British Social Attitudes survey from 1983 to 200 would show that belief in God is increasing, although it shows that not only is church attendance declining but also peoples belief in God. If Davie were right with new religions forming the surveys would've shown higher levels of belief. Bruce also interjects the view that if those who are religious are not willing to invest time into attending church, this must reflect the declining strength of their beliefs, thus the secularisation thesis must be somewhat accurate. Hervieu-Léger supports the theme of personal choice and believing without belonging. She believes that there has been a significant decline in institutional religion in Europe, with less people attending church in most countries. She says ‘cultural amnesia’ is partly to blame for this. Children used...

...is the mixture of dried and shredded flowers and leaves that come from the hemp plant. In 1619 legislation was passed in Virginia that required every farmer to grow hemp, and it was even used as legal tender in three states. By the 1900’s the drug became associated with immigrants and an anti-drug campaign was started. By 1931, 29 states had outlawed marijuana, and in 1937 the Marijuana Tax Act made is illegal under federal law to possess it (Marijuana timeline). In 1996 California became the first state to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes and as of July 7, 2014 New York became the 23rd state in the U.S. to do the same. A survey found on USAtoday.com stated “that in 7.3% of Americans 12 or older regularly used marijuana in 2012(Leger, 2013),” that is approximately 23.9 million people.” The stance that the federal government is holding firm onto is that marijuana is illegal, and is a schedule 1 controlled drug. There are many advocates in the legalization of this drug deemed by the federal government to be illegal. Most recently the states of Washington and Colorado voted in 2012 to legalize it for sale and recreational use which started in 2014. A big factor for wanting to legalize marijuana is the money that can be made. The state of Colorado sold approximately 1 million dollars on the first day of legalization, and nationwide legal sales were over 1.3 billion dollars in 2013 and...
