...Change I: Historical Social Perspectives | Assignment #2 Question #1 Compare the “hidden curriculum” identified by S. Contenta with the underlying norms and values of “Indian education” highlighted in the video the Mission school syndrome and in the readings by Titley, Levaque, Gresko and Wilson. (750-1000 word) Although education was meant for all children, education for Aboriginal children clearly had a hidden curriculum. It has been mentioned in all of the readings and the movie that the main objective was to civilize them into the White culture which included the teaching of the English Language (reading, writing and speaking), religion, agriculture and other trade skills necessary to live in a “White’s man world”, where “the primary motive was to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”[1] However, the interpretation of the events of those days differs in perspective between the religious groups and the Native people. As Europeans immigrated to Canada and settled on the lands where Aboriginals hunted and lived, themselves hunting the same animals as the Natives (for sport rather than survival) and restricting the territory forcing Aboriginals onto reserves or residential schools. The Whites did not understand this way of life even thinking that it was barbaric and savage. Consequently the government and religious groups wanted ‘to provide native children with the opportunity to learn about the Catholic faith...

...the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), means “ a hearing impairment that is so severe that the child is impaired in processing linguistic information through hearing, with or without amplification, that adversely affects a child's educational performance” (34 Code of Federal Regulations [section]300.8[c][3] [2013]). Parents can choose to either communicate with the child in English, the major language of society, or teach the child manual language such as ASL and become a part of the Deaf culture. This decision is especially hard for parents to make who were never exposed to the non-hearing world before, and see deafness as a medical problem that needs to be fixed. This can become critical for the child’s future years and development as a person in the society since the child will always be viewed and judged as different. It is mandated that each child with a disability will be viewed individually to make the best decision in how to treat and help the child. The oral approach, audism, is a method in which children learn to use whatever residual hearing they have, in combination with lip-reading and contextual cues. The children will also thus use an auditory approach, in which they receive amplification devices to correct their hearing and to make use of the residual hearing they have as much as possible. Audism is a mainstream-type approach where the children will go to regular public schools and make use of a special education classroom or resource room when...

...PROPOSAL Identification of Research Topic Over the past five years while working in a residential care home for people with dementia, the researcher has observed that incidents of violence and aggression both physical and verbal towards health care staff happened regularly. The incidents of aggression affected staff mentally and physically but the majority of incidents went unreported. The nursing staff, registered nurses and nursing assistants in this environment both acknowledged the seriousness of this on-going problem to them. However the reluctance to report the aggression is because they considered the aggression to be part of the job despite them acknowledging it as a problem. England is an ageing society and as the population ages, health care providers, government, communities and families are faced with the burden of caring for people with dementia (Cubit, 2010). According to Access Economics (2005), dementia is becoming increasingly predominant to the aging population worldwide. A survey of over 15000 care homes in England and Wales found that 78% of residents were cognitively impaired (Bowman et al, 2004). In addition the Alzheimer`s Society (2007) reported that there are around 750 000 people in United Kingdom with a dementing illness. A more recent survey by the Alzheimer`s Society (2009) reported that around one third of older people with dementia in UK live in residential home care settings, representing 200 000 individuals. According to Leonard et al (2006);...

...Effects of Urban Migration on Aboriginal Peoples Independent Study Seminar Project Since the start of the Residential School era, urban migration, the process of people moving from rural areas to cities, among Aboriginal peoples has been a common practice for many. Whether it is for educational or work-related purposes, this practice continues on today. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of urban migration on Aboriginal peoples and whether these effects have positively or negatively impacted their lives. The reason for leaving, how leaving affected migrants emotionally and/or mentally, social impacts, opportunities, challenges, impacts of family/life at home, and native culture were all factors looked at to determine the...

...approach from the Skagit County, WA case study. The American Farmland Trust Cost of Community Services methodology compares the ratio of expenditures to revenue for different land uses, which are used in municipal land-use planning. Land uses, from residential / commercial / industrial , agricultural / and open space, largely determine the different revenues and expenditures of the municipal government because they generated different amounts of revenue from being taxed at different rates. Expenditures also vary from municipal services because different services need to be provided per use like education, police protection, fire protection, roads, and other infrastructural uses. The basic methodology of CCS studies is to first partition land uses into three classes: residential, commercial / industrial, and agricultural / open-space. Expenditures and revenues from the municipal budget are then allocated to the three different land-use categories. Although the specific methodology for fiscal allocations differs among CCS studies, the final result is always a ratio of expenditures over revenues for each of the three land uses. For example, a residential ratio of 1.2 means that for every U.S.$1.00 of revenue raised from residential land uses, U.S.$1.20 of expenditures is spent on residential land uses. Studies then report a separate ratio for residential, commercial/industrial, and agricultural/open-space land uses. A general finding of CCS studies is that commercial/industrial and...

...Defining the issue Aboriginal families all across Canada were affected by the residential school system. The two main objectives of residential schools were to remove and isolate indigenous children from their families and cultures and to assimilate them into the Western cultures. From the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s it was mandatory that Aboriginal children went to residential schools by the federal government, to try to make them more like “children in mainstream society” (Kevin, Beeds, and Filion 340). Aboriginal values were looked down upon. Schools were operated by a staff that consisted of nuns and priests. They focused on teaching children Christianity. This event was significant in Canadian history because it represented the loss of culture, language, and family connection due to long separations and the hardships faced at school. The experience at residential schools continue to affect generations of Aboriginals still to this day. History of the Issue Prior to the Canadian government’s involvement in the education of Aboriginal children, traditional education effectively sustained Aboriginal cultures for decades of years (340). Early in the 1600s French missionaries came to North America to convert Aboriginals to Christianity (340). They established mission schools in New France. By the 1800s the government focused on educating First Nations children in a way to indirectly assimilate them into Canadian society (340). In 1879, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald commissioned...

...types of worker that happens because of different reasons. Generally, wage differential might be due to different factors as geographic location, education, gender, occupation, experience, age and so on. Some argue wage differential might happen due to characteristics of employer and employee, even though other third parties effects also should be considered. For instance, the following factors are said to be important for analyzing wage differentials between countries. Generally speaking, wage might differ due to different cost of living, region size, city size, race, gender, schooling level and etc. While comparing interregional pay rates between countries, slightly different factors are used, such as sex, occupation, gender, marital status, household size and average firms size. Several studies as it will be shown below had concluded that average firms size might be very important in determinant in wages, since firm operating with larger profits might pay higher level of salary, this phenomena was latterly explained as rent-sharing. Limiting effect of wage differential, especially, when wage differential has a discriminative behavior, is very important for the Government. For instance, high level of wage differential between urban population and countryside population might result in interregional migration of workforce, in this case from rural areas to urban areas. Also, high level of difference of in wage rate between capital and other city of the country might result in outflow...

...well known author and researcher, Jonathan Kozol is famous for doing studies on inner city schools. In his book, Savage Inequalities”, he looks at, East St. Louis, Illinois, and the struggles the teachers, students, and community have to deal with everyday. He sees lots of problems in the city, but one that stands out most is segregation that still occurs in education. Kozol says, “In each of the larger cities there is usually one school or subdistrict which is highly publicized as an example of “restructured” education; but the changes rarely reach beyond this one example. Even in those schools where some “restructuring” has taken place, the fact of racial segregation has been, and continues to be largely uncontested” (Kozol, 4).” Kozol shows how schools that have supposedly “changed” still have segregation problems that were said to be resolved for years now. No matter how much schools deny it, segregation is still alive. There are facts and real life situations to prove it, but the question is, what factors lead to this problem? How has segregation in schools affected schools and students who go to segregated schools? What ideas or conclusions have been developed to identify this problem? As stated before, one of the most concerning questions we have to ask is, what are the factors that lead to segregation in schools today? One of the biggest answers I found to this question was the topic of residential segregation and its affect on school segregation. Gerald W. Bracey, the...

...Foster carers and residential homes find it difficult to manage challenging behaviours as these children were exposed to poor parenting. The increase in risk behaviour could be associated with the onset of youth offending behaviour and the diversity of children in residential setting contributing to criminal gang (Barte rand Berridge, 2011). In searching for a sense of belonging, some LAC join gangs and peers resorting to petty offending that result in them finding themselves in the Youth Justice system (YOT). Being looked after presents certain instabilities that put children at risk of offending. LACS lack the parental support or advocacy when they enter the youth justice system. More so, the age of holding children accountable for criminal offences in the UK is 10 years and the least offence is sanctioned by custodial sentences (Wilson et al. 2008). The punitive measures do not give...

...Substance-dependent Clients, and critic population of the study vs. population of interest, Operationalization aspects, Evaluation of DV measurement, and Evaluation of DV measurement. Lin, Wei-Fen. Mack, D, Enright, R, Krahn Dean, &Thomas Baskin (2004), states that the level of anger and violence observed among alcohol and substance abusers are far higher than the levels found in the general population, and coping skills have been implemented in many substance abuse programs to teach patients how to become aware of their anger and also manage their emotions effectively. Many researchers have directed their focus on Forgiveness Therapy (FT) as an alternative option to any other treatment for patients to overcome their emotional bondage, which leads them to misuse alcohol and dependency to controlled substances. The hypothesis in this study is that Forgiveness Therapy decreases the frequency and severity of anger, anxiety, and depression, and patients in residential treatment for alcohol and drug dependency have demonstrated less anger and urge towards drug use after receiving this treatment. Critic of Population of the Study This study, which took place in a residential drug rehabilitation facility, targeted the effects of Forgiveness Therapy in decreasing the frequency and severity of anger, anxiety, and depression in the recovery of substance-dependent patient. The hypotheses was that the individuals in residential treatment facilities for alcohol and drug dependence would...
