...situation. In this paper, it presents the full context of school bullying, determine underlying factors and explore findings to what bullying is all about. It focuses mainly on reporting statistical analysis, like describing the population of interest, estimating mean and proportion and interpreting results due to hypothesis testing and interval estimation. The prevalence of bullying among US youth is substantial. Given the concurrent behavioral and emotional difficulties associated with bullying, as well as the potential long-term negative outcomes for these youth, the issue of bullying merits serious attention, both for future research and preventive intervention. In many cases, bullying may not only happen among children and youth. It also takes place in corporate world or public institution. However, it is beyond the scope of this paper since we limit the topic only to school bullying. INTRODUCTION Bullying is a pervasive type of aggression, which often occurs in schools. As with other types of aggression, the harm that is inflicted – whether physical, emotional or both – is intentional. However, bullying has defining features which set it apart from other aggressive behaviours, in that it is repeated, and that the bully or bullies have greater access to power than their victim(s). In this briefing, ‘bullying’ refers to peer-to-peer bullying within the school context. School bullying has been a topic of both public concern and academic research only since...

...Her belief is that prostitution should be legal, and that prostitutes should be required to pay a £50 annual registration fee in return for legal protection. Her thoughts were, “There are about 600 prostitutes in Stoke-on-Trent, so that would be £30,000 to the council every year” and that, “The girls would have to register where they were working and it would be safer. Girls who stole, or who broke the rules, could have their license taken away.” Crystal concludes that, “It would protect the girls and the clients”. However, in response to this plea Chief Inspector Adrian Roberts, commander of the Stoke-on-Trent North Local Policing Team, spelt out the police’s position on prostitution, saying that, “Prostitution is an unlawful activity and if we become aware it is going on, we will take action. We are not going to turn a blind eye to the concerns of the...

Fennell May 5, 2008 The Origins of Western Culture – HUM 101 Dr. DeChaby Spring 2008 The position of women in Muslim society has altered drastically in the centuries ever since Islam initiated in Arabia in the early 600s. Their place has fluctuated with irregular social, economic, and political situations.

This research paper will discuss Islam, Early Historical Background, Women in Islamic Society, Women in the Qur’an, Religious Life, Women Covering, Financial Matters, Financial obligations, Education, Modern Debate on the Status of Women in Islam, and U.S. Muslim Women Islam The Arabic word “Islam” means submission – in a religious situation, it indicates the submission to the will of God. Islam’s prophet is Muhammad, who acknowledged the initial revelation from God through the angel Gabriel in about 610 C.E.

...preventive measures in handicap are different from medical management in type and level. For instance, when a child has a cerebral palsy due to prematurity, he would need drugs and physiotherapy. But preventing prematurity would need, among other things, health education and pregnancy monitoring. Like cerebral palsy, or seizures, sexually abused street children are merely a symptom, but the causes are derived from elsewhere. Of course it [is] the symptoms that have to be dealt with in an attempt to help the children whose cases require special intervention due to the urgent and often difficult circumstances. While Marzouki (2002), concentrates on the need to look at the symptoms to help abused children with proper intervention strategies, this paper still believes in the need to also understand the precipitating factors for child abuse.

...11/28/2015 Chapter 1 Swatch # 1 – Denim [pic] Denim is durable twill woven with colored (usually blue) warp and white filling threads; it is also woven in colored stripes. The name is said to have originated in French serge de Nimes. The word comes from the name of a sturdy fabric called serge. Denim was originally called serge de Nimes, it was then soon shortened to Denim. Denim is yard-dyed and mill-finished and is usually all-cotton, although considerable quantities are of a cotton-synthetic fiber mixture. Decades of use in the clothing industry, especially in manufacture of overalls and trousers were worn for heavy labour such as construction workers and electrical workers. Denim has demonstrated denim’s durability. This quality also made denim serviceable for leisurewear in the late 20th Century. Denim is a rugged cotton twill textile, in which the weft passes under two or more warp fibers. This produces the familiar diagonal ribbing identifiable on the reverse of the fabric, which distinguishes denim from cotton duck. It is a twill-weave woven fabric that uses different colors for the warp and weft. One color is predominant on the fabric surface. Because of this twill weave, it means the fabric is very strong. I believe Denim is the most amazing fabric out there it’s versatile, it’s tough, its durable,, its easy to work with, its fashionable, its warm I mean I can go one with how great denim is. I mean everyone owns denim. Once before...

These findings are consistent with the concept of social reproduction by Pierre Bourdieu (1986), Annet Lareau (2003) and Randall Collins. The researcher concluded that parent’ low socioeconomic status impacted negatively on pupils’ performance, through denying the children access to resources which are readily available to children from higher socio economic status. He recommended that parents should continue to improve on their education levels through adult education programs. Secondly, children from low socioeconomic backgrounds should try to persevere through financial hardships and remain in school because schooling eventually has a redeeming effect on their poor plight.

Without her help, this research paper can not be achieved. Also I want to extend many thanks to my teacher Tu Chao who gave me a lot of precious tips on how to achieve standard language in paper as well as how to avoid mistakes in delivering information. Apart from my teachers I still own much gratitude to my fellow friends. You helped me rectify grammatical mistakes that appeared in my paper and gave me a lot of encouragement in finishing this paper. Abstract According to the current situation of English teaching, the cultivation of the students’ cultural understanding is not paid so much attention to as the basic English knowledge teaching. Due to this fact, many foreign language students nowadays have a good command of grammar, a large vocabulary, but they often fail to communicate well with native speakers with what they have learned. This research paper aims to analyze pragmatic failure from the perspective of culture. It is mainly divided into four parts. The first part is a general knowledge about pragmatics and pragmatic failure. The second part is to focus on the integrity between language...

Why these men did what they did to me. Old, disgusting men. It was horrible. They knew I did not want to be there, but they paid their money. They used me. I was their property for the night. They destroyed me. (14-year-old girl at Casa Hogar, a shelter in Costa Rica for children rescued from the country’s sex trade1) OVERVIEW Prostitution has been called the world’s oldest “profession.” In reality, it is the world’s oldest “oppression” and continues to be one of the most overlooked human rights abuses of women on the planet today. 2 Prostitution of women is a particularly lethal form of violence against women, and a violation of a woman’s most basic human rights. While society attempts to normalize prostitution on a variety of levels (discussed later in this paper), prostituted women are subjected to violence and abuse at the hands of paying “clients.” For the vast majority of prostituted women, “prostitution is the experience of being hunted, dominated, harassed, assaulted and battered.” 3 It is “sexual terrorism against women at the hands of men and little is being done to stop the carnage...

...The Rough Road of Domestic Violence Karen L. Silverio PSY 325 Statistics for the Behavioral & Social Sciences Yashica Woods-Buchanan 1 December 2012 I chose to focus on the factors that impact domestic violence for my final paper because in my career, I have seen the rate of domestic violence increase. I have always known about it, but never really took the time out to actually research what the causes were. By choosing this topic, I hope that not only will I be able to educated myself a little more, but maybe help save someone’s life by helping them remove themselves out of a domestic violence situation. Domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of income, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion. Domestic violence is a type of abuse. Usually a spouse or partner is involved in causing injury to the other spouse or partner. However, domestic violence can also involve a parent, child or other family member. The single most influential factor of domestic violence in society is the continuation of a generational cycle of abuse and/or a history of abuse in the family of origin. It is also linked to a person who has poor self-esteem (Life challenges, 2002). Domestic violence, sometimes called battering, family violence, or intimate partner violence, is a pattern of behavior used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation, often including the threat or use of violence. Domestic violence...
