...Asia College Students on the Effects of Boyfriend/Girlfriend Relationship in Academic Grades A Research Paper Presented to: Ms. Loida R. Soreta Submitted by: Ruth Anne Geliberte Kathleen D. Mendoza Far Eastern University - East Asia College April 12, 2011 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study On a daily basis, college students are faced with a conflict of interest: to study or not to study. Often times these decisions are affected by outside factors that are beyond the control of the student (i.e. work, athletics, involvement in organizations). One other factor that is believed to be a major influence is the existence of a significant other. While involved in a relationship during college, one might be forced to choose either studying for school or spending time with the significant other, leaving the student with increased amounts of stress. Level of commitment to the relationship must also be taken into consideration. Many factors contribute to a student’s academic grades; the aim of this research was to know the effects of having a boyfriend/ girlfriend relationship while studying and if it affects the student’s academic grades. There are lots of different types of relationships but romantic ones have a special quality to them that sets them apart. Unlike other forms, they are created through a desire to be with an opposing sexual energy, a different flavour. Not necessarily different gender. They also have a much stronger hormonal...

...I believe that respect is the key to having healthy relationships: respect will always make a relationship with your family, friends, significant others, or the general public stronger. When I visited my fiancé in Germany I saw many types of disrespect. The married guys would go out to clubs and bring back girls. We went out on a sunny day and walked through the streets of Nuremberg. The sun was beating down on our face and reflecting off the rooftops. The streets were clean and the buildings were so colorful it looked like a picture out of a child’s storybook. Then the guys threw their garbage on the ground instead of walking to the enormous metallic garbage can that was four feet in front of them. My fiancé and I discussed the disrespect that was being demonstrated by other soldiers and decided to respect others and ourselves to maintain our relationships healthy. Families should have a certain level of respect which many families lack. If families respect each other then communication will become easier. This would lead to families arguing less and trying to see the other member’s point of view because we’d respect each other’s ideas. This would then lead to a happier family. Friendships also require respect. Friends are people who we can trust and talk to without being judged. We must realize that all people are different and have different ideas or wants. Friend should respect one another’s beliefs and if a friend tells another something in confidence then that friend...

...Stephanie Aguilar Professor Lee ENGL 1302 2, April 2013 Selfishness Are you aware of the meaning of true love when the money and the power are sitting comfortably in your hands? In the song “When I was your Man” by Bruno Mars, he expresses his regret of putting aside a loyal woman. Serving him as a lesson learned, he found the true meaning of appreciation of a good woman. Bruno Mars expresses the consequences of his decisions. Unfortunately, his choices threw away an opportunity that was standing at his door step. This song conveys situations in which Bruno Mars could have done more than he did. Throughout “When I was your Man,” he is continually stating things he once took for granted. Therefore forcing him to love and live without her. Bruno Mars shares his depressive mental state of regret using symbolism, irony and metaphor. Bruno Mars states, “I am in a situation right now, when you write a depressing song because you are in a dark place; you are bleeding in front of people talking about this personal experience. I have never felt anything like that before and I am going through it now.” He sings from the heart and personal experiences, as an artist you have to be able to connect with the lyrics. Mentioning that singing fairytales and lying in his lyrics was not what he was into doing. In fact, his uses of symbolism help him express his sincere regret. Bruno Mars is able to lyrically connect the abstract idea to his mood. He portrays a mental image to listeners...

...People often times fail to realize how their communication can greatly impact their social interactions as well as aid in the formation of strong intimate relationships they may hold with their friends or even their significant other. We use communication in many forms, whether verbal or non-verbal to gain a better understanding of one another and to reduce our uncertainty towards each other. By allowing ourselves to take part in the communication process, we therefore are able to disclose and exchange information which in turn aids in forming an intimate relationship better known as the social penetration theory. The theorists Altman and Taylor define the social penetration theory as something that identifies the process of increasing and decreasing self-disclosure and intimacy within a relationship. This normally occurs as two individuals engage in sharing information whether it is through traditional verbal means or as most common in today’s society, non-verbal means such as through the use of text messages and emails, to disclose personal information. When disclosing information about one’s self, there are typically three phases or stages people tend to go through in order to reach a more intimate state of sharing information which are the cultural, sociological and psychological exchange of information. People typically tend to go through each phase before getting to a state where they can establish they have reached a more intimate relationship with a person. The first...

...on the Use of Significant Figures HOME: http://www.chem.sc.edu/faculty/morgan | WWW.CHEM.SC.EDU | © 2004 USC BOARD OF TRUSTEES | [pic] All measurements are approximations--no measuring device can give perfect measurements without experimental uncertainty. By convention, a mass measured to 13.2 g is said to have an absolute uncertainty of 0.1 g and is said to have been measured to the nearest 0.1 g. In other words, we are somewhat uncertain about that last digit —it could be a "2"; then again, it could be a "1" or a "3". A mass of 13.20 g indicates an absolute uncertainty of 0.01 g. The objectives of this tutorial are: —Explain the concept of signficant figures. —Define rules for deciding the number of significant figures in a measured quantity. —Explain the concept of an exact number. —Define rules for determining the number of significant figures in a number calculated as a result of a mathematical operation. —Explain rules for rounding numbers. —Present guidelines for using a calculator. —Provide some exercises to test your skill at significant figures. What is a "significant figure"? The number of significant figures in a result is simply the number of figures that are known with some degree of reliability. The number 13.2 is said to have 3 significant figures. The number 13.20 is said to have 4 significant figures. Rules for deciding the number of significant figures in a measured quantity: (1) All nonzero digits are significant: 1.234 g has...

...In the story, “The Outcasts of Poker Flat” by Bret Harte, we see various character traits. Although these characters were created between the years of 1892 and 1899, we can see similarities between them and people in today’s society. A person’s traits are formed through time, impacted by the people in their life. The way one reacts in dire situations, how they treat others, or how they treat themselves can be traced back to their guardians, mentors, or significant others. The guardianship Mother Shipton and the Duchess have over Piney shows a loving, mother-like care a guardian should have. The mentorship John Oakhurst and Tom Simpson had shows healthy relationship, where Mr. Oakhurst’s only purpose was to help Tom. The significant relationships between characters vary; Tom and Piney, Mother Shipton and the Duchess’s previous ‘relationships’, and John Oakhurst and the Duchess. With each type of relationship, there are those healthy and unhealthy....

...voiced some version of the complaint, “I’m going to have to abandon my dreams, my career vision, for the sake of pragmatism and a job.” No doubt there are already people who can relate to this sentiment as the current situation develops. That was the wrong attitude in 2002 and it is the wrong attitude in 2008. Now, as then, we need our dream, our sense of our personal career vision, even more, but we need to bring discipline to the dream. We need to work harder, think deeper and make the vision both more detailed and actionable. What would that mean? We need to ask ourselves, “In five to seven years, where do we want to be in terms of functional role, industry knowledge, organizational culture, skill acquisition, our relationships with significant others, work/life balance, geographical location, community involvement, our daily expression of our core life values?” How deeply have we imagined...

...informal training in order to achieve and maintain effective skills. “We hear only half of what is said to us, understand half of that, believe only half of that, and remember half of that” (Cyr, n.d.). Therefore to effectively communicate, one must be mindful of what is said verbally and nonverbally because communication directly and indirectly affects the outcome of situations. Healthcare communication is possibly the most vital method or style of communication that requires training because it is an important aspect in establishing relationships, trust, and collaboration among clients, family members, significant others, other professionals, members of the community, etc. The process of healthcare communication involves professional to professional, professional to client or patient, professional to significant other, and client or patient to significant other interaction, which...

... The public issues of the social structure are the negative things that impact a society and contribute to it. Private troubles can lead to public issues. Some public issues include pollution, bullying in schools, health, sexual assault, and equal rights. Some personal troubles include job status, family issues, eating disorders, drug addictions and even death of a loved one. C. Identify the show, the general topic of the show, and the day and date watched. The show we watched is The Bachelor. This show focuses on 25 women competing for one man’s love and potential marriage proposal. We watched this show on is normal airing day of the week, Monday, February 2nd, 2015. Questions D and E ask: What were TWO of the WORST, most significant, major personal troubles people seemed to have on the show? D. In a sentence or two, what was the first worst personal trouble? Who had this personal trouble? One of the bachelorettes, Kelsey, becomes upset during the show when she lets the other girls know that her former husband died due to a heart attack about a year ago. Kelsey talks about how hard it has been for her since that day, and constantly faces an inner struggle of trying to find another love. She feels as though she now has no one to depend on. She also feels as though she will never be good enough for anyone besides her former husband. This tragedy plays a huge role in her “biography” of personal troubles. E. In a sentence or two, what was the second worst personal...

...following preferred form: The measured value is just an estimate and thus it cannot be more precise than the uncertainty of the device. (i.e. The number of decimal places for the measured value must match the number of decimal places for the uncertainty, and in multiples of the uncertainty)” Example: The smallest increment in a meter rule (scale measuring device) is 0.1 cm. Following the general rule of thumb to determine the uncertainty in a scale measuring device, it would therefore be half of the smallest increment (∆ l = 0.1/2 = 0.05 cm). The uncertainty of a meter rule is ± 0.05 cm, thus for the length measured, l = 31.225 ± 0.05 cm (incorrect) l = 31.23 ± 0.05 cm (incorrect) l = 31.25 ± 0.05 cm (correct) 1 Calculations Significant...

...People with disabilities represent a significant minority population in the United States; however, they are relatively underrepresented in the American workforce, in spite of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. Many experts agree that the continuing unemployment of people with disabilities is due in large part to the fact that potential employers and co-workers still maintain negative attitudes toward them as a group. These negative attitudes appear to be rooted in a lack of knowledge about people with disabilities, as well as the perpetuation of erroneous stereotypes about them. Some scholars and advocates (e.g., Lee and Rodda, 1994; Unger, 2002) assert that training designed to challenge existing beliefs is the key to changing these negative attitudes. Our research sought to test that assertion by determining the effects of a brief educational intervention on individuals' knowledge about and attitudes toward people with disabilities in the workplace. Using a Solomon four-group quasi-experimental design, undergraduate students were placed into one of four conditions and completed a survey that included a knowledge assessment and the Attitude Toward Disabled Persons Scale (Yuker and Block, 1986). Results indicate that the educational intervention had a significant impact on both participants' knowledge levels and their attitudes, even after controlling for gender and prior experience with people with disabilities. Implications of the findings are discussed...
