...Here XXXX University Introduction There are so many incidents on television where teenagers are being bullied via Facebook and other online sources. Almost every adolescent has access to the internet nowadays and most of them have a mobile phone. Therefor it is not surprising, that cyberbullying or bullying through these new communication technologies is increasing. In order to put cyberbullies to a stop it is necessary to know, who these teenagers are, what they do, and why they bully. This research will introduce briefly the suicde of Megan Meier and the foundation what is set into effect today to prevent children and teenagers from being victims like her. Another young victim of cyberbullying was a local teen, Viviana Aguirre, an El Paso girl who was being bullied and picked on and her tragedy caught media attention. She received messages via Facebook telling her to kill herself. This impressionable girl was tormented mentally and her self-esteem was seriously damaged. She ultimately became a victim of cyberbullying which lead Viviana to commit suicide. There must be an end put to this. The reason for this study is to identify the threats and the environment that exists in our local high schools providing a dangerous basis for committing cyberbullying. By conducting a survey we intend to find our weak spots and therefore create solutions that will prevent cyberbullying in the future. Just the mere researching into this negative phenomena serves to promote awareness and rally...

...Culturally Responsive Teaching: Bridging the Gap Michael Warren University of Texas at El Paso Culturally Responsive Teaching: Bridging the Gap The changing demographics in classrooms are not often reflected in the pedagogies, curriculum and strategies used in represented grade levels and content areas by the education professionals that drive our education system. Recent research has considered the idea that culturally responsive or culturally pedagogical teaching may be the answer to closing the achievement gap created by the absence of cultural awareness. The concept of cultural awareness may be simply defined as an understanding and awareness of the diversity in the classroom (Villegas & Lucas, 2002); however, such a simplistic definition does not recognize the many dimensions involved in the pedagogy of culturally responsive teaching, which for students includes seeing germane links between subject matter and lessons and their experiences outside the context of the classroom and how those links influence what and how they learn. The purpose of this literature review is to examine the many facets that make up the term Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) and the impact and implications implementing such a broad concept may have on the education system. While the literature discusses several topics connected to CRT, I will confine this review to the following: (1) CRT Background/Definition (2) The methods of study, the participants involved and the significance...

Used primarily in the ambulatory setting and clinics within correctional facilities. ERMA was primary created, and copyright protected for Correct Care Solutions in 2011 and since has been implemented in over two hundred correctional facilities. In 2013, the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center underwent a change of contract, this meant that their medical department was no longer ran by Correctional Health Care, and as such was no longer privy to their current electronic health record Vizion. The conversion from Vizion to ERMA would end up taking almost 2 full years to be put into full effect. The program implementation was meant with many challenges, these included both legalities and overall functionality. Compared to its predecessor ERMA is was still in its infancy and had a long way to go before it would be meet the minimum requirements necessary not only for correctional care, but also to maintain all the professional accreditations that come with being able to properly document and care for...

...politics is artificial, even preposterous. Notions of authority, expectations of what is right with regard to social choices, play a major role in politics; conversely, power is a very critical and indispensable factor in law. . . . Power and authority are always co-present to varying degrees. This notion of the co-presence of authority and power or control is fundamental to legal theory . . . .” * Michael Reisman La separación entre la ley y la política, como se entiende tradicionalmente, es una falsa dicotomía: la ley es un elemento de la política, y por consiguiente, el poder. Estoy de acuerdo en que este es un punto vital que apreciar, en particular en el sistema jurídico internacional. Para evaluar mejor la teoría, se debe analizar la creación del Derecho Internacional y como la relación ley-poder llegó a crear el estado-nación que da lugar a tal institución. Para comenzar, se define el estado nacional como una organización política de población homogénea que comparte cultura, lengua, etc. con un gobierno que sirve a los intereses de esta. En los Siglos XVI y XVII, comienza a surgir un aumento a lo que es denominado un estado nación. A mediados del Siglo XVII se concreta la nación estado, debido a varios acontecimientos: 1) Surge la Reforma Protestante. Ésta respondía a las necesidades del pueblo al cuestionar las interpretaciones bíblicas y la Doctrina Católica que se usaba para subordinar a masas de personas. Decir que los...

...can cause PTSD are called "stressors” and may include natural disasters, accidents or deliberate man-made events/disasters, including war. Symptoms of PTSD can include recurrent thoughts of a traumatic event, reduced involvement in work or outside interests, emotional numbing, hyper-alertness, anxiety and irritability. The disorder can be more severe and longer lasting when the stress is human initiated action (example: war, rape, terrorism) (Veterans Affairs.gov 2010). Crime is always high next to a active duty post. It is plain math. You have your normal amount of civilians, and you add the total amount of soldiers to that. The volume of military-related crime off-post is beginning to tax civilian law enforcement authorities. Felony El Paso County jail bookings for service members have...
