...Paper Learning Disorders John Doe Advanced English Introduction Learning disabilities have a large impact on how society relates to those with those disabilities. It affects society in the person’s ability to interact within a community not just inside the educational area. Even though a child with learning disabilities can be challenged through evaluations, trained specialists, therapy and drug treatments they are able to live an independent life. The people with learning disabilities should be able to live an independent life as long as they are properly diagnosed. In order to be diagnosed with a learning disability they must meet certain criteria. This is because not all people who have trouble reading or writing may have a learning disability. They might have vision problems or auditory problems. The evaluation they must undergo will eliminate certain factors that mimic a learning disability. Once, the evaluation is complete the person is given information regarding how they can be treated. This will help them learn to overcome their learning disability and give them an opportunity to become independent. They would be able to go to college and work without being discriminated. Certain laws that protect people with learning disability come into place once they are properly diagnosed. Furthermore, with certain treatments, support and rehabilitation people with learning disabilities will be able to live independent lives. This is as long as they don’t have motor...

...Annotated Bibliography You Have Been Caught, What Now? Abstract The police have arrived and there is nowhere to run. Even if one did, they know a crime was committed and who has done it. Where does one go from here and what is going to happen? This will give the resources to follow the procedural justice process from beginning to end under normal and under unusual procedures. Regardless of the verdict there will be options along the way that may result in different outcomes throughout the process and some are unexpected. It all depends on the individual and how each case is handled by the police, the prosecutors, and the judges. Perhaps this will shed some light on the procedural process of the criminal justice system and how it really works. Introduction: What happens now? This annotated bibliography shows the procedural process of justice and how it progresses under normal circumstances for some and unusual circumstances for others. In the United States the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty. In a felony criminal case, the accused is “normally” investigated, arrested and booked, placed in a jail cell until the accused can be brought before a magistrate judge for the initial hearing called an arraignment, where the Miranda rights as well as the charges against the accused are read. Bond is discussed and granted or denied at this hearing. There is a Grand Jury hearing to discuss the merits of the case and it is “true billed” or dismissed. If it is true...

...Pro-choice abortion is the belief that women have the right to choose to abort a baby from their body. The "pro-choice" view is that a baby does not have human rights within the mother's womb. The people of the United States never voted on or supported this pro-choice position. Actually, it was the U.S. Supreme Court that legalized abortion. In the article by ChristiaNet it states “The health threat to the mother after going through with the procedure as well as the lifelong health risks that remain should be good enough reasons abortion should be illegal.” However, I believe that abortions are safer than childbirth? According to MMR (Maternal Mortality Ratio) complications during pregnancy and childbirth are a leading cause of death and disability among women of reproductive age in developing countries. The decision to continue your pregnancy or to end it is very personal. The most common reasons women consider having an abortion is the inability to support or care for a child, the pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, Physical or mental conditions that will endanger the health of the mother or the child if the pregnancy continued. These examples alone justify the legalization of abortions. Although, in the article by ChristiaNet it states “There are many reasons a woman may have an unplanned pregnancy, but none justify terminating the pregnancy.” This is just not true, there are meaning unwanted children born everyday. These children’s lives being ended by the hands of their...

...Nature vs. Nurture General Psychology What makes humans so alike? Throughout different cultures, the human race is very much alike. We all share the same biological system and we also share similar behaviors. However, we are influenced by our family genes and by the culture that surrounds us. Various aspects of nature and nurture have affected who I am today as a young adult. Nature includes the traits that are hereditary or inherited from my ancestors. One way that nature has impacted me is through temperament. From my mom’s stories, my temperament as a baby was very easygoing. This trait continued as I grew from a child into a young adult. To this day, when faced with conflict or new plans, I react in a relaxed way. I don’t stress out or get anxious about things too easily. Another example of nature’s influence is the way that I learn. At a young age I was diagnosed or labeled as a “slow learner.” I had difficulty with reading comprehension and memorization skills. My preferred learning style is tactile or hands-on. I really enjoy getting involved when learning new information and especially enjoyed classes that involved building and discussed practical issues. This trait may be a result of being premature at birth, having spinal meningitis as a newborn, or inherited from my family. My struggle with learning was also affected by nurture, specifically my school environment. Growing up labeled as a “slow learner” did not give me any advantages in school...

...Annotated Bibliography for Standardized Testing Perry Barr Devry University Annotated Bibliography for Standardized Testing : I was always told that one bad apple will spoil the whole bunch; which is true. Standardized Testing should be used to find the child with a learning disability and work with that child. Not to grade the whole school and that school gets a poor grade. That’s like taking a bunch of apples and throwing them out just because a couple of them were spoiled. A person needs to work with the good parts of the apple and make apple pie. Improve the child by adding things that will take that child higher and increase their ability to learn. Gregory J. Cizek, "Unintended Consequences of High Stakes Testing - P-12,” Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, Sep. 2001 Susan Ohanian, "Collateral Vomitage,” www.susanohanian.org, Mar. 14, 2002 Standardized testing causes severe stress in younger students. According to education researcher Gregory J. Cizek, anecdotes abound “illustrating how testing... produces gripping anxiety in even the brightest students, and makes young children vomit or cry, or both.” On Mar. 14, 2002, the Sacramento Bee reported that “test-related jitters, especially among young students, are so common that the Stanford-9 exam comes with instructions on what to do with a test booklet in case a student vomits on it.” Cizek is an education researcher and I believe his studies are in depth to the topic I am documenting.

...Employment Discrimination BUS 311: Business Law I Employment Discrimination Employment discrimination occurs to many groups of individuals and has been happening for many decades. In the U.S., employment discrimination occurs whenever an employer or its representatives adversely single out employees or applicants on the basis of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion and a variety of other reasons. Laws have been prepared to discourage discrimination from occurring. Equal opportunities laws aim to create a level playing field so that people are employed, paid, trained and promoted only because of their skills, abilities and how they do their job. Discrimination happens when an employer treats one employee less favorably than others. It could mean a female employee being paid less than a male colleague for doing the same job, or a minority ethnic employee being refused the training opportunities offered to white colleagues. There are many types of discrimination. Direct discrimination happens when an employer treats an employee less favorably than someone else because of one of the above reasons. For example, it would be direct discrimination if a driving job was only open to male applicants. Indirect discrimination is when a working condition or rule disadvantages one group of people more than another. Indirect discrimination is unlawful, whether or not it is done on purpose. It is only allowed if it is necessary for the way the...

...injuries do not show up on CT or other imaging devices, doctors and even family members are often skeptical that any real damage exists. TBI is real and affects a large percentage of veterans returning from war. “Consistent with the designation of TBI as one of the signature injuries of the war theaters in Iraq and Afghanistan, 46% of the returning veterans recruited for this project screened positive for a deployment-related TBI” (Morissette, Woodward, & Kimbrel, Meyer, Kruse, 2011, p. 346). I have deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan and have sustained injuries in result of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED’s) and mortar attacks. Shortly after returning home, my family and close friends noticed that I was no longer the same person. Even though my family and friends asked me to go see a doctor, I refused to go, I felt like there was nothing wrong with me. A few years after being discharged from the military, I started to notice the changes that my family and friends have been talking about. One...

...The Family Life Cycle Starla Zelaya Sociology October 3, 2014 The Family Life Cycle Starla Zelaya Sociology October 3, 2014 Starla Zelaya Sociology October 3, 2014 Ms. Marilynn Tulcey The Family Life Cylce: An Annotated Bibliography “Erik and Elena Brewer’s Weblog”. February 12, 2012. Paragraph 1. This paragraph explains how the family makes up society. Family.Dictionary.com. This online Dictionary defines “family”. “The Family Life Cylce”. Psychology Wiki. This page explains the family life cycle. The family is defined as “a basic social unit consisting of parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together or not.” (Dictionary.com). It is said that, next to God, family is the most important thing in this life. In Erik and Elena’s Weblog they posted that “the family is the bedrock of society and can be proven by the fact that all over the world every society is structured by the same pattern. A man and woman marry and form a family. This process is repeated multiple times making multiple families which form villages, regions, and eventually countries. When several countries come together they form a continent and all of the continents make up the world.” For the society to develop, the family goes through eight stages. These stages are known as the Family Life Cycle. The first stage is known as the Family of origin experiences stage. During this stages the children learns how to maintain relationships with not only their...

...school life, or work. B. According to DSM-5, a manual used in examining mental health conditions, this condition is marked by moods that are depressed, and it may occur every day for about two weeks to a person. The symptoms may frequently be in the morning. II. It is believed that social, psychological, and biological factors play an active role in the cause of the severe disorder. This is according to biopsychological model. A. According to the diathesis-stress model, depression is as a result of diathesis or preexisting vulnerabilities that are activated by an event that is stressful (Adler,1956). This is according to Adler. Preexisting vulnerabilities, in this case, may refer to the genetic meaning interaction between nurture and nature, or schematic. B. Severe depression may be triggered by grief after losing a loved one through, divorce, death, or separation. Major challenges in life, feeling of being deprived or social isolation may be the cause of depression (Klein, Herron & Belcher, 2013). III. The problem being experienced by Joe can be analyzed and explained using psychodynamic theory. The psychodynamic theory focuses on the relationship emotional, mind (psyche) and mental, motivational forces in the mind, which interact to shape the personality of a person. A. Gabbard tried to explain the psychodynamic theory better by saying that during a depression, unconscious...
