...think access of young people to culture is better promoted if young people’s perspectives are included in the cultural policies. Cultural expression is one of the eight key competencies defined in the Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council on key competencies for lifelong learning. Key competences for lifelong learning are a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes particularly necessary for personal fulfillment and development, social inclusion, active citizenship and employment. We are told, “Although most people regard culture as an important part of an individual's personal life, it does not seem to make up such a big part of their lives in practice.” In the case of Europe we are told that “problems arise when young people feel alien in the society they are living in” or even that there is a distance or credibility gap between top-down organized activities and more self-generated youth cultures described as “apathy of young people towards participation in anything public” . So here i rise the question: How do you mobilize young people if their parents don't see the worth or relevance of 'culture' beyond their own communities? According to the UNESCO,...

...TANF The welfare system was created to help poor men, women, and children who are in need of financial and medical assistance. Over the years, welfare has become a way of life for our people. Currently, the government is in the process of reforming the welfare system. The welfare reform system’s objective was to get people off welfare and start back working. The goal was to move people from dependency to self-sufficiency but problems to the new welfare reform system have occurred. Some believe that, "participation in a welfare-to-work program might create new problems for children by adding strains to family life or by exposing children to poor substitute care arrangements for policies that design welfare-to-work programs that pursue the dual goals of economic self-sufficiency for families and healthy development children.http://www.cyfernet.org/welfare/roleextprog/current.html. "Welfare policies aimed at improving family circumstances for both children and parents must not make the error of focusing solely on parents; if the intention is to enhance the immediate and long-term development of both generations within the family, then policies must differentiate between youth and their parents."http://www.cyfernet.org/welfare/roleextprog/four_themes.html. These issues have brought about numerous debates. These debates have focused on the welfare reform system. Pros and cons of this new system have been debated, focusing on the welfare of the child, the parent, the employer...

You may choose to look at another topic not covered in this booklet but check with your tutor if you are unsure if it is suitable. Read selectively: the journal article in section 4 contains a lot of useful information about the UK as well as other countries. However, it is quite long and contains quite a lot of historical background information in the first few pages which will not necessarily be useful for your assignment. Use the sub-headings to focus on the sections that will be most useful to you. Use only relevant details: Be selective when choosing the information you want to include and make sure it remains relevant to the topic of the paragraph. E.g. If the paragraph is on the structure of the education system, do not start discussing any...

...2. Women Empowerment in Modern India Dr. Shruti Singh For centuries women were not treated equal to men in many ways. They were not allowed to own property, they did not have a Share in the property of their parents, they had no voting rights, and they had no freedom to choose their work or job and so on. Gender inequality has been part and parcel of an accepted male-dominated Indian society throughout history. Women were expected to be bound to the house, while men went out and worked. This division of labor was one of the major reasons why certain evils like 'Sati Pratha', ‘PardahSystem', 'Child Marriage', 'Dowry System', etc. took birth in our society. The traditional Indian mentality assumes that the place of women is mainly concentrated to the household activities like kitchen work and upbringing of the children. There is systematic discrimination against women economically, socially, politically and culturally more so, in India. These discriminations & disabilities are practiced at all levels day in & day out. Women Empowerment is the ability of women to exercise full control over their actions. This means control over material assets, intellectual resources and even over their ideologies. It involves, at the psychological level, women's ability to assert them which has, so far, been constricted by the 'gender roles' assigned to them especially in a culture like India which resists changes. This essay throws light upon the different challenges that are faced by Indian...

...Furthermore, different types of dual language programs are available to suit students for optimum learning. Programs include transitional programs, which give students a certain amount of instructions in their primary or native language for a specific amount of time before transitioning into English specific instructional programs. Transitional programs are also known as “one-way” programs because they are specific to non-native English speakers (“Dual”). Another program is that of a maintenance program. Maintenance programs give students instructions in not only English, but also in their native primary language. This allows for students to develop both English fluency and to maintain native language fluency all while increasing academic literacy in both languages (“Dual”). In addition, another program available for students are two-way enrichment programs. These programs teach both native and non-native English speakers in two languages with the intention to develop bilingual fluency. As an example for the use of a two-way enrichment program, monolingual English-speaking students have to opportunity to be immersed within a second-language instruction course along with native language speakers with hardly any English fluency (“Dual”). This would allow for monolingual English-speaking students to learn peers’ native...

...School Library Media A ccording to Wikipedia (2010), the Nigerian Igbo proverb, “Ora na azu nwa”, translates as “it takes a village to raise a child” (Proverb Question section, para. 6). Whether this popular phrase derives from international cultures or from one’s own experiences in life, it provides a framework for our schools and society to meet a cultural shift in a global society. Creating awareness and enhancing digital citizenship in our society could best be assessed as having reached a pivotal point. Weigel, James, and Gardner (2009) assert that, “the Internet’s potential for learning may be curtailed if youth lack key skills for navigating it, if they consistently engage with Internet resources in a shallow fashion, and/or if they limit their explorations to a narrow band of things they believe are worth knowing. Left to their own devices and without sufficient scaffolding, student...

...Chapter 1 (page 4-19) Taking Risks and making Profits within the Dynamic Business Environment Business: Any activity that seeks to provide goods and services to others while operating at a profit. Profit is the amount of money a business earns above and beyond what it spends for salaries and other expenses needed to run the business operation. Goods are tangible products such as computers, food, clothing, cards appliances and services include intangible products which cannot be held in your hand such as education, health care, insurance, recreation, travel and tourism. Entrepreneur is a person who risks time and money to start and manage a business. (Sam Walton started Wal Mart, Bill Gates started Microsoft) Revenue is the total amount of money a business takes in during a given period by selling goods and services. Loss occurs when business expenses are more than its revenues. Risk is the chance an entrepreneur takes of losing time and money on business that may not prove profitable. Higher the amount of risk, higher is the profit. Standard of Living: The amount of goods and services people can buy with the money they have. Business provides employment, employees pay tax and the tax is used by the government to build the infrastructure. Quality of Life: The general well being of a society in terms of political freedom, a clean natural environment, education, health care, safety, free time and everything else that leads to satisfaction and joy that goods and services provide...

...Introduction Singapore, dubbed as the “Asian Switzerland” and recently the most expensive city in the world (Ranasinghe, 2014). Many conditions attributed to the exponential growth (i.e.: favourable tax regime, stable political climate, effective regulatory bodies) and prima facie, the robust human capital supporting its economy has well augmented it to be an economic powerhouse (Hui, & Toh, 2014) – despite the disparity in land size compared to her neighbours and the lack of natural resources. Section one of this reflective commentary examines the factors concerning and influencing Singapore’s graduate employment opportunities (GEO) from different perspectives and viewpoints. Section two delves into my professional career pathway till date. Deliberating input from psychometric analysis, peer feedback and personal preferences, this commentary discusses on the suitability of my desired role as a Business Development Manager at an Online Travel Agency (OTA).

...and services to cater for the elderly and this has been one of the major contributory factor to the apparent increase of aged persons approaching 80 years who according to Professor Richie Pluton (2015) will approximately be 400 million by 2050 and he argues that these vast number will pose a great challenge of disability and diseases unless ingenious methods that enhance healthy lifespan are adopted. It is calculated the number of individuals 60 and older will increase to 1.2 billion in 2025, furthermore in this way it will increase to two billion in 2050 (WHO, 2013b). Additionally, by the year 2025, about 75% of aged populace might be living in developing nations, are currently burdened by the inadequate human service such as skills, knowledge and labor (WHO, 2013b). The human service in this case refers to an aspect whereby the elderly are required to provide for some intangible commodities for those close to them and other individuals. Human service from the elderly is quite a challenge since these individuals are lesser energetic and have a...

...A STUDY ON THE EMPLOYABILITY AND ATTITUDE OF EMPLOYERS, TOWARDS EMPLOYING EX-PRISONERS AND EX-OFFENDERS AS PERCEIVED BY HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGERS IN ORTIGAS PASIG CITY Prepared By: Ms. Marilyn Dimaculangan CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION It is well known that employment is an important need of most individuals; it provides income, social connection, and feelings of societal contribution and self worth. What may be less well known are the barriers to employment faced by those with criminal record, the challenges faced by employers in hiring ex-offenders and what can be done to facilitate employment opportunities as record numbers of people transition from incarceration to the community. A great number of employers are reluctant to hire individuals with a criminal past citing lack of skills and work history, untrustworthiness, and fear of liability for negligent hiring, among other things. Employers use of criminal history background checks over the past decades and they are less willing to hire ex-offenders that any other advantaged group. Their willingness to hire ex-prisoners varies according to the industry and position, the type and severity of offense committed by applicant and work experience since release. Employers are not always consistent in what they say versus what they do when it comes to hiring former offenders and prisoners Jail is a synonym for prison, especially when the facility is of a similar size as a prison. As with prisons...
