Why or why not? 4- Why do you think education and affluence serve to decrease physical punishment across cultures? Do you think that it is likely that Lynn will continue to use physical punishment while living here in the U.S.? Why or why not? As Lynn headed out to go shopping, she already knew her four-year-old son was in a bad mood. All that day he had been doing all that he could to frustrate her. First, he chose not to eat breakfast and then he spilled apple juice all over the carpet. He categorically refused to put on his red jacket and continuously tried to unbuckle his seatbelt in the car. Since they had arrived at the shopping mall, he had been whining continuously for 20 minutes and demanding they go to the toy store immediately. The mother’s patience finally ran out...

...Birch Paper Company Birch Paper Company Question 1 Which bid should Northern Division on accept that is in the best interests of Birch paper company? Answer: Thompson division even through the bid from west paper seems at first to be the best choice. In you calculate out the cost you find that Thompson actually has the lowest costs associated with them. Cost involved: ✓ Costs for Thompson are a:Linearboard and corrugating medium: cost $ 400x 70% * 60% - $168 plus out of pocket: $400x 30% = 120, for a total cost of $ 288. ✓ Cost for west papers would be a total of $ 430. ✓ Cost for Eire papers would be $ 90x 60% - $ 54 (Southern) plus $ 25 (Thompson), and their supplies of $ 432 – 5 - 432 = $ 312 for a total of $ 391. Question 2 Should Mr. Kenton accept this bid? Why or why not? Answer: Mr. Kenton should not accept the bid from west because it isn’t in the best interest of the company, but at the same time with the transfer policy that exists, it is really up to him what is in the best interests of his division. I believe he should accept the bid from Thompson because not only will it result in the lowest cost, but also it will encourage buying from within the company.

In this project I had to write a ten page paper about the decade of my choice, come up with a question from the decade I chose, find people from the era to help me answer my question, and create a display. This was one of the hardest and most time consuming projects I had ever done. It didn’t help that I was in a lot of other tough classes and in a lot of extracurricular activities. I didn’t know how I would be able to finish it but I eventually did. I was extremely proud of the project I completed and all the work I put into it. The project began in the fall of my eighth grade year and it was due at the end of the year. This project seemed overwhelming. The teacher...

...life. Right away they have contact with different types of communication from the start. Most children can identify basic signs and logos by the age of 2 or 3. From there they will begin to experiment with written forms of communicating long before they can read by scribbling. Reading and writing develop at the same time in young children who are unified or consistent. Children love to make marks on paper. As they do this, they begin to realize that the symbols on pages are letters that form words. This will help with the attempt to put their thoughts down on paper as well. The development of writing skills consists of stages that children go through. Parents can promote early literacy development for infants by presenting cloth or cardboard books with bright pictures, reading books that have rhyming words, surrounding children with fiction and nonfiction books, magazines or games, reading simple stories with one main character and a simple plot, responding to questions your child might have about print in your house or elsewhere, and supporting early writing by making sure that paper, crayons, pencils and markers are always available. Parents can also promote early literacy development for toddlers and preschoolers by...

...REVISING; THE ETHICS ON SPANKING During my time in this class, we had to create our research paper on something that sparked our interest and had plentiful opinions on. As I started to sculpt my work, I tried and included various sources that would support my points thoroughly. Afterwards, I revised my work and found a few parts in which were lackluster and sought to add more details and remove statements in order to make my essay have more clarity. Overall, what I've learned this semester is that I have a good, general grasp of creating and molding papers to my whim; however, I sometimes would need to polish my work slightly in order to improve it. In my paper, "The Ethics on Spanking", the first revision that I wanted to focus on what about adding details to my work. As I read through my essay, I felt as though some sentences could include more information. For example, “These problems and erratic behaviors will carry-on in children causing them to be more hostile towards their peers and coworkers as they become adults”. This statement seems to be absent of any details regarding these behaviors. In order to compensate for this I added more information about my cousin, rather than more factual evidence. The reason being is that by...
