...Is Technology Affecting the Developmental Progress of Children? Patrcia Odani Mukuka Southern New Hampshire University Increasingly, there is a large dependence on technology today as opposed to ten or twenty years ago. Technology has changed a lot of how life is lived today. It affects shopping, job seeking employment opportunities, entertainment and academics. There is no doubt that technology has set its foundation and is here to stay. One area in which the effects of technology can be clearly noted is in the lifestyle of children. The addiction to technology by children today has increased over the years. This is clearly seen in the developmental progress of children today. This dependence has greatly influenced how children interact with their peers, how they learn and how they spend their free time. It is important as educators and parents to find a balance between learning and using technological devices for recreation. Children today have developed a total reliance on technology for communication and entertainment. Steve Carell, the actor/comedian, in his commencement speech at Princeton University in 2012 said, “When I was in college, I wouldn’t ‘text’ a girl to ask her out on a date. I would ask her, in person. One human being to another. And when she said ‘no,’ which she always did, I would suffer the humiliation and self-loathing that a young man needs for his, or her personal growth” (Farber et. al, 2012). In his speech, Steve Carell illustrates how communication...

...Should Parents Allow Their Children to Play Video Games? Video games can best be defined as an interactive electronic game that requires players to control the movement of the character by using a controller and gain points and money, to say the least. Almost all video games require a medium for it to process the movements and actions of the player. The medium can be in a form of a game console, a disc where the game information is stored, a computer and sometimes both disc and console put together. For example, the Xbox or the Playstation require both the console and disc where as some games can be downloaded through the internet. The first form of video game that appeared on departmental store shelves was ‘Pong’ where basically the game was ping pong in an electronic appearance. The game had 2 straight lines that represented the paddles and a dot that represented the ball. The rules of the game was similar to its real counterpart, of that if one player did not hit the ball, the other player would gain one point. Before the game was introduced in a home version, the game was in arcades where children and adults would come and play (Winter, 2010). And ever since the video game was created, it would be surrounded by controversies where people always pointed out the negative effects of it just to get their kids off video games. Today, the video game has evolved rapidly and there are games developed for adults and games are played worldwide. Game consoles have evolved through...

...convinced Swanson for the experiment who reluctantly gave in eventually. They signed an agreement with City of Hope providing parameters for royalty payments and property protection. $35,000 was granted and Genentech would get license of those patents and City of Hope would get 2% royalties on the products sold. Thomas Kiley from Lyon & Lyon an IP firm, negotiated the agreement. Richard Scheller, a graduate student at California Institute of Technology was the means of their third collaboration with Caltech. Many complexities arose and City of Hope filed a case in 1999 claiming that Genentech owed them around $500 million worth royalties. It was a sad end to their partnership. By February, Swanson had raised $850,000 and the somatostatin research could start. Robberto Crea, an Italian saw Genentech as a supporting factor to his postdoctoral fellowship at City of...

...Sample Student Research Paper (Spring 2013) All Dolled Up: The Effect of Child Beauty Pageants on Contestants Reality TV shows like Toddlers and Tiaras and Little Miss Perfect expose the growing popularity of child beauty pageants. These shows have turned pageants into an industry that is valued at $5 billion (Cartwright 1105). This newly created pageant industry has changed the child beauty pageant system—contestants are competing at younger ages, they are wearing more makeup, and the focus is shifting away from natural beauty towards glitz and glam. The emergence of a pageant industry has changed the pageant system, but what affect does this industry have on contestants? More importantly, do pageants’ effects on young contestants warrant regulation? As more young girls compete in pageants, answering these questions and determining the effects of child beauty pageants becomes more important. These questions need to be answered so that the well being of pageant participants is ensured. The issue of regulation is of particular importance since parents, pageant companies, and the media all contribute to the growing pageant industry. Some regulation is needed to protect the young participants. Generally this regulation would be the parent’s responsibility, but in this paper I will argue that the industry merits specific regulation. In order to prove that regulation is warranted, I will analyze the negative impacts of the pageant industry using research from psychologists...

...Childhood Obesity Name: Institution: Introduction Modifiable factors like sedentary lifestyles and physical inactivity are to blame for the high rates of childhood obesity. Adding to this, other non-modifiable factors which occur in conjunction with the modifiable factors contribute to childhood obesity. This paper will analyze these two factors, with specific emphasis on the modifiable factors, and the appropriate prevention strategies that can be employed to reduce its prevalence in the population aged below 16 years old. Childhood obesity is a major public health problem that has reached epidemic proportions in both developed and developing countries. A significant amount of both financial and human resources have been allocated to analyze its causes, prevention strategies and management schedules. Knowing the causes of childhood obesity and the appropriate prevention strategies helps the public heath sector and any other relevant authority to re-evaluate and incorporate prevention strategies into its programmes. Understanding Childhood Obesity Childhood obesity is a disease of caloric imbalance that occurs after excessive intake of calories above the required consumption levels resulting in excess body fat that negatively affects the child’s health and wellbeing. Diagnosis of obesity is based on two commonly used measurement methods. The first is Anthropometric measurements of which...

...Childhood Obesity SOSC 102 Professor November 7, 2014 Childhood Obesity Childhood obesity is a major, growing health issue in the United States. It is a condition where excess body fat negatively affects a child’s health or well-being. Children become overweight for a number of reasons. Some of the causes are genetic factors, lack of physical activity, eating unhealthy, medical illness, family and peer problems. Healthy eating and active living are major factors that can eliminate childhood obesity, or merely reduce the growing numbers that obviously exist in society today. “Over the past three decades, since the 1970s, the prevalence of childhood obesity has more than doubled for preschool children aged 2-5 years and adolescents aged 12-19 years, and it has more than tripled for children aged 6 to 11 years.” Ogden et al (as cited in Koplan, 2005, p. 22). Obese children in those age groups may suffer a lot of emotional or psychological stress. They can feel depressed and unhappy because of constant teasing from peers about being overweight. This could cause them to have low self-esteem and might hinder their ability to socialize with others effectively. Other negative effects, are that they develop behavioral problems, which in turn often negatively affects their academic growth. Active Generations is a promising obesity prevention program with emphasis on nutrition education. Students who participate in this program increase their understanding of the connection...

...Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is a syndrome that needs more attention than several other diseases that is curable by modern technologies. This syndrome is said to be a traitor when a person is infected because it has no definite causation and definition. Many people claimed that they have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity but most accounts are disregarded because of factors that made doctors conclude that they have allergies, some similar diseases, or they are psychologically “hypnotized” by the alarming issue. MCS have specific symptoms such as chest pain, headache, depression, memory loss and many more. These symptoms are very common and most diseases nowadays have congruent symptoms as with MCS. MCS is considered as a dangerous illness because it bears other effects that bothers the minds and threatens the life of many. These effects are neurological disorders, cardiovascular disorders, convulsions and seizures. Now, caution and prevention are implemented in order to put the consciousness of the people affected to silence. These preventions done are neutralization of hazardous chemicals and other simple ways to avoid the activation of MCS. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity can be a dreadful disease but can also be deactivated to a calm state. I. Background of the study The condition now most commonly known as multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) was brought to the attention of the U.S. medical establishment when the late Theron Randolph...

Steps you can take to increase your own knowledge base: (Hint: What courses or special training you should consider taking? Jobs that give you experience and knowledge you don’t now have? Describe these and other steps here.) n opportunities you receive on a regular basis, the more likely you are to recognize opportunities as they emerge. You can build your ability to recognize opportunities by holding jobs that put you on ‘‘the cutting edge’’ (e.g., jobs in research and development or marketing), by building a large social network, and by having rich and diverse job—and life—experiences. Steps you can take to increase your access to knowledge: (Hint: Can you increase the breadth of your social network? Read a wider range of magazines, including ones related to your field? Describe these and other steps here.) n Organize your knowledge. Knowledge that is organized is much more useful than knowledge that is not. As you acquire new information, you should actively seek to relate it to what you know so that connections between existing and new information come clearly into focus. Information that is connected and organized in this manner is easier to remember—and to use—than information that it is not. Steps you can take to organize the knowledge that you have more systematically and...

...Although Television is the most effective way to advertise products because of how much it is consumed and how large of an audience it captures, does it attract individuals who were not intended to be targeted when it comes to alcohol advertising? Advertisements centered on alcohol have proven to attract all races, both the male and female gender, and all age groups, especially those who are underage. The marketers of alcoholic products have succeeded with these advertisements, but have also created a negative impact to many individuals that have experienced this product. Although it is clear that alcohol industries aim to only increase market share and not necessarily increase the number of underage drinkers that their commercials attract, research has stated that this is, in fact, the direct outcome. Alcohol advertising has also shown to attract low income and minority groups. The television networks are fully aware that because of this specific advertising, it could be causing greater harm then what is intended. “Alcohol marketers say they have voluntary standards that prevent them from targeting consumers younger than the legal purchase age. They claim to avoid pitches that primarily appeal to teenagers and to pass up ad placements that reach an audience that is predominantly underage. Yet, we are told, when one reaches 21, former teens become potentially valuable alcohol consumers and legitimate targets for aggressive promotions to drink,” (Hacker, 2002). Television, being only...
