Cell phones have become indispensable tools for far more than just making phone calls. They act as a mobile office, an Internet browsing device, a personal digital assistance, a calculator and more. The explosion of cell phone ownership in the last decade has presented a challenge for institutions of learning all over the United States. The concern has been raised that cell phones are disruptive to the students overall education. A district policy has not yet been standardized in all schools; while some allow them and implement an out of sight out of mind rule, others simply ban them from the campus. There was a time when parents would only buy a cell phone for their child to use during emergencies. Now it is not unusual to have a High School where almost every student has their own cell phone. With the rise of cell phone use in schools and a greater online presence by students than ever before, new problems unique to...

...What makes a student go from a normal run of the mill everyday member of the student body to a homicidal maniac? What made students like Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold turn to rage and murder at Columbine High school? What pushed Cho Seung Hui over the edge at Virginia tech? What sparked the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre? Most importantly what can be done to stop and or limit the potential risk of a future attack? By studying the shooters themselves experts should be able to ascertain at the very least a baseline that could possibly be used to answer question like these. Hopefully by understanding the various factors that drive these people to murder we will be better able to identify any signs and intervene. According to a study conducted by social scientists, “Out of 220 school shootings 172 were homicides, 30 suicides, 11 homicide/suicide (meaning the shooters take their own lives after killing), and 5 were legal intervention deaths (an injury or death caused from law enforcement officials) and 2 were unintentional”. To better understand “why?” we need to look at possible causes, such as the school environment itself, the actual individual, and the community in which they live. From the standpoint of school, the actual institution such as social and educational atmosphere have a bearing on the crime and violence level, for instance let’s say we have a school in an urban environment where the students come from financial aid homes i.e. welfare or other subsistence...

...All police officers should wear body-cams to protect the lives of the citizens as well as the officers. Everybody wonders what really happens when someone claims to be harassed by the police or vice versa. Body-cams can protect officers from false claims against them and can do justice for the citizens. They also would provide more evidence when it comes to fatal deaths, and incidents. The many lives that are being taking by police officers in this world can greatly be solved with the live footage of a body cam. A young African American named Trevon Martin was harmed by a security guard. Two other African American boys were killed also by police officers; their names are Michael Brown and Oscar Grant. There was also a claim that police officer was beat. Body-cams can help solve the problem of false claims not only for citizens but officials as well. One case in particular that would better support body-cam would be that of Trevon Martin. Martin was born on February 5, 1995. He was a junior at Dr. Michael M. Krop High school and he lived with his mother and his brother in Miami Gardens, Florida. George Zimmerman was born on October 5, 1983 in Manassas, Virginia. He was employed as a fraud investigator for insurance. The retreat at twin Lakes was a gated community in Florida. Trevon Marin was visiting his father’s fiancé’ and her son along with his father on February 26, 2012. At 7:09 p.m., George Zimmerman called the police nonemergency number to report what...

The various tales have been reinvented as picture books, novels, animated and real-life films. The stories have been twisted and shaped by an ever changing society to represent a wide range of the dominant society’s views. Among these they show perspectives on social class, women’s roles, cultural differences, religion, and human behaviour. As time goes on, the original tales are discarded and the altered stories become widely known and read. This can lead to the underlying perspectives of the altered stories become subconsciously...

...impairment of children’s health or development ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care (Barlow and Schrader-McMillan 2010). However according to the legislation taking action is there to enable all children and young people to have the best outcome. “The action we take to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm - is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and families has a role to play working together to safeguard children” (Safe net, 2004). To keep the children safe in 2013 the government introduced that everyone working with children should get Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS). The government also announced the vetting and barring service (VBS) which enables anyone working with children should be vetted. The VBS was introduced under the safeguarding vulnerable Groups Acts...

...compared. Reference groups come in several different forms. Peer group is defined as a small group of similarly aged, fairly close friends and sharing the same activities. In general, peer groups or cliques have two to twelve members, with an average of five or six. Peer groups provide a sense of security and they help adolescents to build a sense of identity. (http://inside.bard.edu/academic/specialproj/darling/adolesce.htm, 2004) In actuality, peer influence is more complex than our stereotype of the negative influences from friends. First, peer influence can be both positive and negative. While we tend to think that peer influence leads teens to engage in unhealthy and unsafe behaviors, it can actually motivate youth to study harder in school, volunteer for community and social services, and participate in sports and other productive endeavors. In fact, most teens report that their peers pressure them not to engage in drug use and sexual activity. Second, peer influence is not a simple process where youth are passive recipients of influence from others. In...

...of hazard, these are health hazards, safety hazards and security hazards. A health hazard would be a risk of somebody becoming ill from an incident. A safety hazard would associate with someone becoming injured, however a safety hazard could also relate to an incident that can be caused by broken equipment or a damaged building. A security hazard would be the risk of an incident where for example information has been exposed, intruders entering a property whereby a child might be abducted from a school or even a patient discharges themselves from a health and social care setting without consent. Employers, employees and professionals overall, in particular health and social care professionals have to prevent risks that may arise from hazards in order to keep themselves, other service providers and service users safe from illness, injury or any potential harm overall; every individual within the workplace has to be kept safe from harm (even cleaners and caterers). Although there should be a balance between exposing individuals to unreasonable risks and over protecting people to a point where people can no longer identify risks themselves. There can be numerous risks of hazards from different age groups and situations within a health and social care setting. A Risk that can arise within a hospital is...

As children gain more access to media through technology such as phones and computers, the time per day that children are exposed to images is increasing. The average high school student spends as much as 8-10 hours a day with some type of media, according to recent findings from the Geena Davis Institute. Studies estimate that counting all ads, logos, labels, and announcements a child is exposed to 16,000 images in one day. (Youth Media Reporter 2009). Media and Violence Against Women Often, media such as TV, commercials, movies, music lyrics, and even Halloween costumes, sexually exploits girls and young women; and it perpetuates unhealthy and unrealistic stereotypical portrayals of both young men and women. Sexually violent material can contribute to a social climate in which violence against women is more accepted. According to several studies by the APA Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls (2007), men and women exposed to sexually objectifying and violent images of women from mainstream media were more accepting of rape myths, sexual harassment, sex role stereotypes, and interpersonal violence. Such structures of violence allow violence against...

There is often considerable scientific disagreement both about available reserves of natural resources and about the extent of environmental damage caused by particular pollutants. Even where the scientific evidence is incontrovertible. There may be political conflict, based on different vested interests, over the degree to which particular environmental controls should be accepted. Governments may, for example, refrain from introducing effective control if they fear these will adversely affect company profitability or jobs, even where the environmental cost of not introducing controls are considerable. There is always scientific debate around the facts regarding the reserves of natural resources. T Very rarely is there conflict over the degree to which particular environmental controls should...

...AMITY INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SCHOOL AMITY UNIVERSITY UTTAR PRADESH BRAND JOURNAL SUBMITTED TO- PROF. KOKIL JAIN SUBMITTED BY- ANUJ DIWAKAR ENROLLMENT NO- A1802011097 SECTION-C * Will Cinthol's new ad campaign be able to capture youth's attention? If Karen Lunel bathing under a waterfall gave Liril a shot in the arm, Vinod Khanna running on the seashore did the same for Cinthol. After Khanna, the other heartthrobs who lent their face (and other body parts too) to Cintol were Imran Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan. However, what Lunel did for Liril, Cinthol could not quite duplicate with all the hunks put together — perhaps because shopping trips in large parts of India are still a male domain. But times have changed and so has Cinthol. The new advertising campaign for the brand, conceived by Creativeland Asia (CLA) is devoid of any wellknown face but has a bunch of young people bathing in several unlikely, improbable parts of the world. There's a good reason for that. "Our consumer research showed shifts in lifestyle and that every individual wants to live life to the fullest. Personal grooming plays a very important role in a person's life, and we found a good opportunity there," explains Sunil Kataria, EVP - marketing & sales, Godrej Consumer Products LtdBSE -1.12 % (GCPL), which owns Cinthol.
