They believe that inequality values are still in place today and not much has changed for it. For example, children are suffering from being in control and that allowing adults/parents are able to make physical, sexual and emotional abuse towards children. Centuaries ago, childhood was extremely undetected. Childhood did not exist and they cease from it existing. Children and adults were treated exactly the same and the rules were equal to both adults and children leaving no gaps between them. It was said by Neil Postman that there were no differences to be seen from adults and children. For example, information and communciation through town speakers took away all of the innocence there were in these children. Also, due to the high number in infant mortality rate (5.7 births per women) it allowed the parents to have no emotional attachment to their children. If we turn this around and see the difference now we can see that children have a emotional attachment with their parents due to the rules on infant mortality rate (1.83 births per women). Through this change children are better cared for than they were centuaries ago. Aires, a man who was a French medievelist and historian of the family and children aruged that childhood had improved since the middle ages. For example, children were expected to contribute within the household and workplace...

Women Health in India: An Analysis Sunilkumar M Kamalapur1 and Somanath Reddy2 1 Women’s Studies, Gulbarga University, Gulbarga-06, Karnataka, INDIA 2 Social Work, Gulbarga University, Gulbarga-06, Karnataka, INDIA Available online at: www.isca.in, www.isca.me Received 29th August 2013, revised 21st September 2013, accepted 5th October 2013 Abstract If health is defined ‘as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’, it follows that existence is a necessary condition for aspiring for health. The girl child in India is increasingly under threat. In recent decades, there has been an alarming decrease in the child sex ratio (0-4 years) in the country. Access to technological advances of ultra sonography and India’s relatively liberal laws on abortion have been misused to eliminate female foetuses. From 958 girls to every 1000 boys in 1991, the ratio has declined to 934 girls to 1000 boys in 2001. In some states in western and north western India, there are less than 900 girls to 1000 boys. The sex ratio is at its worst in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat, where severe practices of seclusion and deprivation prevail. Often in contiguous areas in these states, the ratio dips distressingly below 800 girls to every 1000...

...can lead to negative outcomes such as; low self-esteem, body dissatisfaction and eating disorders, as well as affect other spheres of life. In examining the role of the Media and the negative effects it has on an individual one can clearly see that the issue have gotten to the point where young women live a life where they are mentally tormented and pressured to achieve one body type. Media attacks the subconscious mind and imprint false images of beauty which in turn leads to downward social comparison and allows young women to feel insecure in their own skin which leads them to a web of negative thoughts and feelings about their own bodies. The result of this mental and physical torment is evident in the mortality rate. According to the National Death Index, crude mortality rates in the United States were “4.0% for Anorexia Nervosa, 3.9% for Bulimia Nervosa and 5.2% for eating disorders not otherwise specified” (Bilgrad, 1990). This is an...

...Status of children in India India has the largest number of children in the world. More than one-third of the country's population is below 18 years. Millions of children in India grow up uncared for, condemned to miserable conditions. They live in abject poverty without any sort of medical treatment, education or food. The status of children in India is very alarming. India has made some significant commitments towards ensuring the basic rights of children. There has been progress in overall indicators: infant mortality rates are down, child survival is up, literacy rates have improved and school dropout rates have fallen. But the issue of child rights in India is still caught between legal and policy commitments to children on the one hand, and the fallout of the process of globalisation on the other. Over the last decade, countries across the world have been changing their existing economic models in favour of one driven by the free market, incorporating processes of liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation. The direct impact of free trade on children may not leap to the eye, but we do know that globalised India is witnessing worsening levels of basic health, nutrition and shelter. Children are suffering as a result of social sector cutbacks/policies and programmes and development initiatives that deprive communities and families of access to and control over land, forest and water resources they have traditionally depended on. The negative fallout is visible: children...

...In earlier centuries, it had been usual for women to work alongside husbands and brothers in the family business. As the 19th century progressed, men increasingly commuted to their factory, shop or office jobs. Wives, daughters, and sisters were left at home all day to oversee the domestic duties in the reign of Queen Victoria. A woman's place was in the home, as domesticity and motherhood were considered by society at large to be a sufficient emotional and economic fulfillment for females. These constructs kept women far away from the public sphere in most ways, but during the 19th century charitable missions did begin to extend the female role of service, and Victorian feminism emerged as a potent political force. The transformation of Britain into an industrial nation due to the industrialization had profoundly influenced the ways in which women were to be believed ideally in Victoria times. Newly emerged urban jobs formed an urban living style that no one had lived before, it prompted a change in the ways in which appropriate male and female roles were perceived. In particular, the notion of separate spheres, which woman was in the private sphere of the home and hearth, man was in the public sphere of business, politics and sociability - came to influence the choices and experiences of all women. The Victorian era from 1837 to 1901 is characterized as the domestic age, idealized by Queen Victoria, who came to represent a sort of femininity that was centered on the family...

...Even with the social and political setbacks that Zimbabwe has been forced to face, the economy has done decently, but that has failed to alleviate many of the symptoms of underdevelopment that are still painfully apparent. Underdevelopment may occur in various forms and have various causes, but the symptoms of underdevelopment are easily distinguishable. The most easily recognizable symptoms of underdevelopment are: problematic population growth, high birth and death rates, high infant mortality rates, and short life expectancies. Disease, famine, starvation, and malnutrition are also all red flags that hint to underdevelopment, as well as: low per-capita gross national product, overcrowded urban areas, poor overall health and sanitation, inefficient farming, and many other indicators. Zimbabwe still exhibits many of these symptoms in spite of the growing economy. Among those symptoms are: a short life expectancy rate; an average of 37.78 years for males and females, a high infant mortality...

...opportunities for the women development, but real backward women are not able to utilize that facilities. Traditional ethical code of the society expects women to remain restricted within four walls of home, which is still a common occurrence. In some of the countries of South Asia women are outlawed even to cast votes. In South Asian region, women are discriminated, because of son preference traditions of the society dominated by religious beliefs. Daughters are discriminated from birth to funeral ceremony. Women are also suffering from domestic violence, wrong tradition and cultural malpractices. Some awful examples of violence are: sex selective abortion, wife battering, child marriage, polygamy, rape, sexual violence, trafficking of women and forced prostitution, sexual harassment, dowry, Tilak system, suicide, killings and domestic violence still prevailed. Nepal being the country very poor are due to lack of awareness and access to quality education. As a result, people have superstitious beliefs, there is gender discrimination and political leaders...

...Humans, like other mammals, are helpless at birth. The newborn infant is highly dependent upon others for mere physical survival. If left alone, the infant would soon die of thirst, hunger, heat, or cold. To put it simply, the human infant lacks those instincts, or unlearned forms of behavior, that in other species serve to exist. Unlike newly hatched fish or ducks, which are capable of providing for their own needs in their new environments, the human infant is highly dependent upon others for satisfaction of basic human needs. Human young, born with an incomplete nervous system and having a long maturation period, will not survive unless adults feed them, protect them from the environment, and provide constant care. Socialization is a very important process that will mostly define a child’s acceptance and good relationship with things within the environment. Good socialization skills are developed when humans are exposed to as many things as possible. The more events that a child encounters and has positive reactions to, the better response he/she will have when these events are repeated throughout the course of life. It is important that you make the socialization process as entertaining and rewarding as you possibly can. This means that during this process, your infant will need to accept being handled and being touched by other humans so that she will not fear strangers (healthcare providers, or people whom they are introduced to.) This will prove beneficial when you...

...Life Span Development in Cambodia Crystal M Rowe Harper College March 5th 2012 Cambodia is an amazing country that has overcome much recent adversity. It is a ideal recent example to study human development in a redeveloping country. In fact as far as my research has taken me there is no published research on human development or transition to adult hood in Cambodia. The country of Cambodia or officially known as the Kingdom of Cambodia located in the southern portion of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. Its total landmass is 181,035 square kilometers (69,898 sq mi), bordered by Thailand to the northwest, Laos to the northeast, Vietnam to the east and the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest [ (Wikipedia) ]. Cambodia has a population size of approximately 14.8 million with the official religion is Theravada Buddhism which is practiced by about 95% of the total countries population. Cambodia is one of poorest and least developed country in the region. In 2003 Cambodia is ranked 130th out of 175 countries worldwide and the human development index was 0.556. Cambodia largest city is Phnom Penh was originally colonization by the French and has grown to become the nation's center of economic ,industrial, political and rich in cultural heritage. It was once know more commonly known as the "Pearl of Asia". Little attention has been given to life span development in Cambodia. In this paper we will go though and discuss all phases of human development from prenatal...

...Informative Brochure ENG115 Cancer is a disease, caused by abnormalities in the genetics of transformed cells. It appears in a variety of areas throughout the human body including the lungs, heart, brain, and even the skin. In the U.S. most people with cancer have it in areas that aren’t even widely know as a main area that contracts the disease. Although there is no widely known cure for cancer, there are many ways to treat it and prolong the life of those affected by it. There are many companies involved in the research and development of new drugs for the treatment of cancer patients, many of which hope to one day accomplish the ultimate goal of curing this atrocious disease. The process of developing the drugs that treat cancer is a long and meticulous one. In order for a new treatment to become available to patients, it must first go through a series of experiments. When a company wants to market a new drug to the public, it submits an NDA (New Drug Application) to the FDA for review. The company must prove through this application that the drug has been tested and is safe and effective (1.). But, even though it may pass as a safe drug to distribute, in the best interests of the developing company, it must also be economically cost effective. When developing a new treatment for cancer patients, some companies come across treatments that come from the hormones of animals. In cases like this, harvesting the animals for these hormones becomes an economic issue...
