...These research tools are best suited to my topic because they allow me to gather a range of results from various individuals who may or may not be involved in the dance world. By utilising these methodologies I will be able to gain a thorough understanding of the different perceptions of individuals throughout different areas of the dance industry. For my cross-cultural component I will analyse the popular American television show Dance Moms to observe how young dancers are sexualised and criticized in order to obtain the idea of a “perfect dancer” and how it has influenced society’s judgement of individuals in the dance industry. Furthermore, this will allow a deeper understanding of the stereotypes and truths of “dance culture” in America. Continuity and change will be reflected in my PIP through the investigation of how significant changes in our contemporary society are reflected in the dance styles, influences, and the “ideal” body image of current times. This will allow me to make comparisons and draw out informed conclusions from the research I have utilised...

...hiding over $700,000 from the IRS, and many other similar offenses. But her most recent charges may just threaten the success of her Lifetime hit reality tv show, "Dance Moms". Will the show come to an end? Or will Abby just get replaced by somebody else? Everyone's replaceable! That's one of Abby's most famous lines from the show that she always says to her dancers, but I'm pretty sure she never considered herself to be included in her own saying. Miller recently pled guilty to fraud charges in June of this year, but she also was charged and pled guilty to a $5,000,000 fraud charge in October of 2015. She is hoping to receive shorter jail time and a smaller penalty, but she already faces up to 30 months in prison just for the charge she pled guilty to back in June. This is causing...

...Her Last Days Jody Seibold Hondros College Abstract My research paper is dedicated to my mother and her last days on this earth. Our nightmare started on September 17, 2012, this is when we were told that my mom had stage four pancreatic cancers that had spread to all of the lobes of her liver, spleen, and large intestine. We went to this appointment thinking she would be able to be treated not to get a death sentence. By the time we found out her cancer had already spread. She was offered chemotherapy but she declined it because at best, it would only prolong her life a month maybe two. She wanted to live her life to the fullest and not be sick from chemo. At that moment every minute was precious time left with mom and I wanted to be by her side every minute of every day. This is the true story of a beautiful life cut short from cancer. Her Last Days This research paper will explain the main function of the pancreas and why pancreatic cancer is it so deadly? It will reveal how a person can live without a complete pancreas? This essay will cover the five stages of grief my mother experienced. I will attempt to explain the emotional aspect my mother went through. It will also talk about hospice and how they assisted us through the process. Lastly, my paper will cover how strong my mother’s faith in God was and still is.

...Level Material Appendix D Research Plan As part of your research plan, you must first draft a research question for your research paper that will guide the rest of your writing. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that your research paper will be answering. For example, if your general area of interest is social security, a possible research question might ask “How can low-income families save more money if the United States had a reformed social security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, keep in mind that you will need to research sources to support your topic. Do not pick a one-sided question that will limit your research. Instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate—a question for which you genuinely want to know the answer. Try to pick a research question that is neither too broad, which covers too much, or too narrow, which covers too little. It should be broad enough to be discussed in a short research paper. |What is your general topic or area of interest? |I want to look deeper into the percentage of teen pregnancy now | | |versus back then. | |What is it about your general topic of interest that interests |I have a lot of friends that are teen moms. Also personally I | |you?...

...Introduction Mahatma Gandhi has been a distinctive leader throughout his lifetime. His leadership characteristics have been recognized, analyzed and praised all around the world. He has become a prime example of a successful leader. In this research paper, I will pick certain theories to analyze Gandhi’s leadership. Then I will choose a “leader” from my circle of family, my mother, and examine her leadership using the same criteria. The purpose of the comparison is to recognize key leadership attributes and behaviors and establish an understanding of the importance of certain fundamentals of leadership. As I was beginning to research information on the topics of leadership and the basic ideas of it, I realized that I agreed with a lot of theories and opinions. However, I decided to take some key ideas and formulate my own definition of leadership that fits my perceptions of life, my cultural beliefs, my background and my personality. In my view, in order to be a leader one must have an open mind. One must have the ability to view situations from different perspectives. One must be able to think logical and free of clichés and acknowledge all advantages and disadvantages for all parties involved. In order to practice those characteristics one must get to know the players of the situation, one must get to know their mindset and their reasoning for action. What inspired me most about Gandhi, and which is also considered his most distinguishable and memorable trait, is that he...

Introduction to Challenges Single Mom Face According to DeBell( 2008), about half of American children will spend part of their childhood in a single- parent family. DeBell stated that the absence of a father in a child’s home, the most consequential trend of our time, leads to social disaster(Pg. 427). Goldenberg (2008), states that a dysfunctional family, by definition, has failed to fulfill its purpose of nurturing the growth of its members.

...downs. I've been able to write papers but I've always needed a little bit of help to complete them. My mom has always been there when I am having problems writing papers. There have been times where I am amazing at them and knock them out like nothing. These are papers are usually short stories or something I can relate to. Then theres times where nothing comes to me and it seems like it takes forever to write them. When writing the papers one of the difficulties came from what I was writing about. In high school papers stressed me out because I knew I was going to have trouble with them. When I had to write my paper for chemistry, I worried about the length, how many citation, and how to cite it. I ask myself how does confidence impact my ability to write? On the one hand the papers I have the most confidence writing and I favor the most are ones where we have to tell a made up story or about a life event. I can write these very easily because I can remember the event very vividly or can make up a story with lots of detail. With event stories I usually just remember then write and occasionally go back to reread and fill some parts with more detail. In high school one of the first papers I had to write in my English class about a life event that changed your life. I thought to myself this is really easy to write about. I had an idea and there was no length on the paper so I didn't have to worry about how long it was. I was ready for this paper. I had confidence and I knew inside...

...were addressed. Health Perception & Management: The possibility of delays due to her prematurity is what Mom worries most about. She answered “no” when I asked whether or not she allowed smoking in her home and “yes” when I asked it she felt that her health practices contribute to her child’s health. Nutrition: Dinner for this family usually consists of a vegetarian protein replacement, a green vegetable, a starch and water. Sitting down at the dinner table together is a priority. The usual packed lunch contains a sandwich, fruit, vegetable, and water or juice. Elimination: There are no problems with constipation in this family. All three members are able to have a bowel movement in a bathroom other than their own. When asked if Mom or Dad take time to relax in the bathroom if need be, the answer was “yes.” Exercise: The adults in this household do not feel that they prioritize exercise as much as they should, although they do encourage their daughter to participate in organized sports. Mom stated that lack of exercise contributes to childhood obesity and heart disease, but can have a positive psychological effect. Television watching is limited to one hour per day. When asked what their family would do on a sunny spring day she responded, “kayaking or hiking.” Cognitive: Books, Internet, nursing literature, health care professionals are the sources Mom uses to acquire information about health concerns. I asked what precedes their family’s decision to make lifestyle...

...with crayons and did math with a piece of paper, a pencil and if we were lucky, we had an adding machine. So much has changed over a short period of time that it is sometimes scary to think. An adding machine has now become such a sophisticated calculator that has computations that one could never figure in a short amount of time with a pencil and paper. When I just sit back and think what we did back when I was a child, as compared to the children right now, I am amazed. Another observation that I have made, is that I can drive down the road and see many people in their cars on their phones either talking or texting, whether they are drivers or passengers. I am just as guilty as well. I rely on technology more than what I should allow myself. I know my limits and boundaries, whereas others do not. If you were to purchase a new automobile, it will be enhanced with technology that allows you to punch a button on the steering wheel to talk on the phone as long as you have the “Bluetooth” button engaged on your cellular devise. When I was in elementary school, I did not have a cell phone, and my mom did not even know what texting was. My mother actually had to pick up the phone on the kitchen wall and call the school to leave a message with the secretary. I would receive the message whenever the secretary had time to walk down the hall, unless it was an emergency. The levels of communication have changed considerably. If my mom did ever call the school, it was at this...

...Bartel Williams Professor Johnson Eng 121-013 7 April 2014 Research Paper Proposal Center Title, Do Not Bold or Underline Question Posed: Throughout the book we hear Rose Mary’s complaint: “I’m a grown woman now, why can’t I do what I want to do” (Walls 58)? At what point can adults do whatever they want, if at all? When is it time to put other needs before your own? Why does Rose Mary behave this way? To answer this question I am going to attempt to diagnose Rose Mary with a mental illness, to justify her thinking and reasoning throughout the memoir. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, bipolar disorder is "a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks" Jeannette seems to understand that her mother is mentally ill, “"She'd be happy for days on end, announcing that she decided to think only positive thoughts" She goes on to say "But the positive thoughts would give way to negative thoughts...when that happened, Mom would refuse to get out of bed... she would lay wrapped up in blankets on the sofa bed, sobbing about how much she hated her life" (Walls 157). I also will study her artwork, and how she balanced art and motherhood. Was her artwork so important to put before her Children’s welfare? “A FEW DAYS AFTER Mom and Dad brought me home, I cooked myself some hot dogs. I was hungry, Mom was at work on a painting, and no one else was there to fix them for me (Walls...
