...My Virtual Child Paper My virtual child covers physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development at several age levels. This gave me an opportunity to visualize "the whole child" at various points in development. I raised a virtual child from birth to 18 years of age. Each virtual child has a unique set of characteristics at birth, some of which were influenced by how I answered the assessment I completed when I first logged onto My Virtual Child. These characteristics gradually emerged and affected his behavior and development. My child was a boy so I decided to name him Wolfgang. Wolfgang was born about four weeks premature and underweight (four and a half pounds). To regulate his body temperature, he spent the first few days in neonatal care. After five days, his Apgar score had risen from a six to an eight, which allowed me to bring him home. I was somewhat nervous when I brought him home because Wolfgang was not very hungry and had lost weight. Eventually, he began to eat more and gained weight. My partner and I had decided to breastfeed. I liked breastfeeding because I began to feel a connection hormonally. During toddlerhood, Wolfgang’s language and motor skills developed rapidly. Eventually, he was able to imitate actions and words. He took an interest in his surroundings, causing him to experiment with and study objects. He also started using the word “me” a lot and wanted to perform tasks by himself. He was pretty sociable. He just needed to warm up a...

...kind of emotion the individual is going through. Babies are unable to communicate by speech or bodily gestures when they are born or in their first years of life, therefore it is very important for people to be able to associate the baby’s facial expression to their emotion. When a baby is sad they will make a certain facial expression letting the parents know something is wrong. Same goes if the baby was in pain, hungry, or tired. Because kids and adults are able to speak and communicate both through speech and body language, it might make it seem as if facial expressions were no longer needed to know how someone is feeling, but in research it is still very important. For example, a doctor would be able to tell if his patient is in pain or afraid even if they do not want to let the doctor know something is wrong just by the patient’s facial expression. Social workers understand that facial expression is very important when dealing with kids who have gone to live with new parents. For example, if the child was put in a home where he is being mistreated or maybe the kids’ parents are hurting their child, that child might be afraid to let the social worker know what really is going on. In most cases, that child is afraid to become more hurt or get their...

...Nowadays, people more and more care about their health, especially, the food that they eat every day. Not only do they care about the quantity of foods, but also they consider the quality of foods. People confirm the ingredient before they buy products and they usually choose artificial sweeteners over natural sugar. They think artificial sweeteners will not add extra calories to the body and help them to control their weight. However, many health experts doubt the safety of artificial sweeteners after doing research about it. They have discovered several dangerous elements in artificial sweeteners. This paper reports the types of common artificial sweeteners, the reason why they are harmful, their bad influences on the body, and why they are not helpful to control our weight. The first artificial sweetener, saccharin, was discovered in 1879 in America. In the beginning, artificial sweetener was only used by diabetics who couldn’t absorb too much natural sugar (de la Pena, 2010). Since 1980, people have started to use chemical sweeteners to control their weight and improve their health. Suddenly, artificial sweetener products became very popular in the United States (de la Pena, 2010). Millions of Americans use chemical sweeteners instead of natural sugar in order to enhance their health. However, it does not mean that chemical sweeteners are health foods. Actually, they are not. They are not like vitamins, whole grains, or proteins that can contribute to our health...

...doing the research we’ve done, have taught me so much. Many of society issues are social inequality, poverty, urbanization, discrimination against race, and culture. When learning about these issues, I’ve decided to do my paper on Poverty and Children in the United States. Poverty within the United States has become a major issue that affects our society and at hand families with children are coming face to face with this issue every day of their life. Poverty has become a major issue in our society today due to the result of our economy and the decision that one makes in life. And sad to say when the economy is always on the defense at failing, the children of our society have to pay a high price. There’s many reason and factors that can be related to one’s poverty. Some factors that can take place to which can place a child at poverty could be, single parent, unemployment, homelessness, abuse, or mother having more kids she can take care of. Over time history shows that poverty in the United States has raised a great deal. Many of us can’t even imagine how it feel to live in poverty, even if it’s looking us right in our eyes, we still try not to picture ourselves in that place. Poverty means can range from so much, and not just from not having enough money. Poverty truly mean not having enough of everything you need in order to take care of your household, money, and food is the main source. Not being able to having enough food in your house means that you and your kids will go...

...Communities II. Impact Analysis The actions taken by companies in the food service industry have helped their relationship with the community, and corporate citizenship is a clear example of it. Corporate citizenship is concerned with “how companies manage their social, economic and environmental practices in a way that maximizes positive impact and minimizes negative impact in society” (Framework for the Future, p. 2). For corporations that practice corporate citizenship helping the community and the environment is important because they see it as a way of strengthening their relationship with one of their stakeholders. An example of corporate citizenship could be found in food service companies that get together to get money for the hungry. An example of this is the program that the rock star John Bon Jovi started through a restaurant. The restaurant is called “Soul Kitchen” and it is an initiative where the community participates. You can go there, eat and pay what you can. Even if you don’t have money you can still eat what you want, but you have to help out either in the kitchen or in the back yard helping to pick out the vegetables for the food that will be prepared to the customers, which is the local community (Soul Kitchen, John Bon Jovi’s charity restaurant, opens in New Jersey, Wayne Parry, The Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/20/soul-kitchen-jon-bon-jovi_n_1021600.html).

...fast-food industry is a consumer service; two organisations that operate in the fast-food industry are McDonald's and Hungry Jack's. McDonald's was chosen because it is the primary operator in this market and holds the greatest market share. Hungry Jack's was chosen because the product they offer is the most similar to McDonald's. I thought it would be interesting to compare marketing strategies of two organisations that offer a fairly similar product. McDonald's is the market leader both in Australia and throughout the world. Hungry Jack's is positioned more as a market follower. Companies use target marketing to tailor for specific markets. There are three components involved in target marketing: market segmentation, market targeting and market positioning. McDonald's primary target markets are seniors, adults and teenagers however the most heavily targeted segment is children. Hungry Jack's also essentially segment their market using demographic variables. The final step in target marketing is developing a marketing mix. These tools are also known as the four P's and in the case of services, the seven P's. They are product, price, promotion, place, people, process and physical evidence. With the marketing mix of McDonald's compared to Hungry Jack's, the major difference is that McDonald's promote their product using the marketing mix more evenly. Hungry Jack's use many elements of the marketing mix similar to McDonald's, however they are not as heavily promoted and...

...poverty as a state where individuals lack a certain amount of money or material possession to enable them to live efficiently. Despite being a first world country, the United States faces high levels of poverty, especially among the African Americans and Hispanics. The poverty levels mostly affect school going children leading to dropouts. According to Rumberger (2013), it is estimated that over 1.1 million high school children fail to graduate due to dropouts. Children who drop along the way are unlikely to find a job. Thus, they live a poor life due to failure to earn wages. As a result, such children are likely to engage in crime, rely on public assistance, thus generating social costs that are shouldered by taxpayers. According to 2009 research, about 20% of children from low-income earning families were more prone to drop out of school. The poverty level among young children is high in the U.S. with over 20% of children born in low-income families dropping out of school. As per...

...Justin Bowers M3A2 1/27/2016 IKEA Analysis Report How do IKEA’s products, services, and related attributes satisfy the wants and needs known as its value proposition? Before I get into the meat and the potatoes of the paper that’s talking about IKEA, I would like to talk about and define the value proposition and its purpose for a company. The value proposition is basically, something that is stated or promised that is going benefit your customers. The value proposition helps you with three main points. The first point is that it helps recognize the product roadmap which, will help identify anything that needs to be let go that’s not going to help contribute to the value proposition. The next point of value proposition it helps promote and sell of whatever product you have. Also, it is the opening to your customer pitch. The last in final point is that it also lets you know the higher prices. Sometimes the value can be unclear of the product, and the customer is thinking in terms of cost based prices. That going into how long did it take it to build, how much did the materials cost. Value based pricing is about revenue increase and money savings. If you want to have high profit margins, use prices based on value. The Strategy of IKEA is to provide low cost on their products and have some great designed furniture that will intrigue the customers mind that will enhance their over all experience at IKEA while shopping. “Low Price with meaning,” is IKEA’s slogan that...

...upon individuals. Whether the change is a result of advancing technology, social climate, or foreign influence there is little chance of preventing the effect it will have on society. It is difficult to argue that we have not seen a paradigm shift in social attitudes from generation to generation, and one could easily point to this the being the reason that we as a society have progressed so quickly over the last 50 years. Until conducting these interviews I was not aware of the immense amount of progress, and in some cases amount of deterioration, that we as a society have caused. It is obvious in the way that human beings have treated things like environmental sustainability, civic engagement and social justice over this time and this paper will be examining how these ideas have are different to generation. While interviewing my grandfather I was able to gather lots of information about not just the time he lived in, but also some information about himself that I had not previously known. He started off the interview by telling me about his childhood. My grandfather was born in Haarlem, Netherlands in 1940 and as many know this was the year that Germany began its occupation of the Netherlands. He grew up in a rural area and spoke about how little food him and his family had due to the conflict happening in his home country. When I asked my Grandfather about his childhood he told me there was little to be...

...Racism and Power A Formal Research Paper on Racism HSP-3UI-03 Jenna Yates 06/16/2014 -1- Introduction Over the generations, there have been horrific examples of racism around the globe. The holocaust, the slave trade and Apartheid in South Africa are all examples of appalling events throughout history that display racism. In addition to these extreme examples, racism exists on a smaller scale in peoples day to day lives. For example, there are people who face certain disadvantages, like being denied employment, denied an apartment or denied a friendship all because of their race. While there is definitely a movement to eradicate racist actions and beliefs, they still exist. Despite education and a history of horrible experiences with racism, it is still a huge issue in our culture and in our environment. This is so, because there is always a group who benefits from racism and it is hard to let this power and privileges go. Racism has been an effective tool for those in a position of power and privilege to maintain their status, income, recourses, the ability to make decisions, etc. Racism empowers some and disempowers others. Even though we have seen the down side of racism, it is something we continue to repeat from country to country and decade to decade because we know it works to maintain power. Despite all the advances society has seen in research, knowledge and technology, mankind has not been able to abolish racism. Therefore, in spite of our understanding...

...When you hear the word poverty, the images which we come across may involve people in distant lands. We have seen people who suffer greatly from poverty from the effects of wars, natural disasters, famines and bleak economic situations. it is unimaginable that here in the UK, one of the worst poverty rates since World War 2(bbc poor kids 2012). We often feel impelled to do something to help, or contribute to a cause or campaign aimed at the response to a specific need or crisis, while it is important for us to become aware of a global problem or crisis. Poverty is defined as two meanings;Absolute poverty; when a persons income is so low that they cannot afford the basic essentials for living.Relative poverty where there income is well below the national average of living usually around £15,000 pounds a year(gcse sociology ). Child poverty has become a significant issue in the UK. Its definition itself has become quite controversial. This essay will use the definition set by the government. Labour has defined child poverty as any child living in a household with below 60% of average income after housing. (www.society.guardian.co.uk) It has grown substantially in the 1980s and 1990s. The recent increase in child poverty is particularly a British phenomenon. According to figures, the level of child poverty in the UK is very high .
