...Attending Co-Ed Schools Is Better Than Attending Single-Sex School Attending a single-sex school is not as beneficial as some educators claim. Both types of schools have their own social benefits as well as negative social aspects. However, it is evidently of more social benefits to attend a co-education school than to attend a single-sex school. The co-education schools play a major role in ensuring that social harmony between both genders is maintained. It does this through several ways. Firstly, the co-education type of schools helps students in developing vital life-skills. Some educators argue that single-sex schools are better because they give students a sense of confidence, which might be true to some extent. However, it is very important to understand that this kind of confidence is short-lived and of wrongly timed. The co-education system depicts a complete social setting and thus, students from the co-education schools stand a greater chance of learning how to solve their social problems like cross-gender intimidation and gender stereotypes, once they are out of school. This is the type of confidence that the students need. the co-education schools also have learnt how to behave in the presence of the opposite sex, how to relate at work, forming friendships as well as how to communicate in an acceptable manner. Secondly, student diversity is highly hindered in the single-sex schools. Those educators who argue in favor of the single-sex schools by claiming that this...

...Abstract Whether you are an economists or the average consumer, Health Care costs and spending seems to always be a hot topic. From my initial research I found that Health Care costs are steadily rising both in the private and public sectors. From what I have read I believe some sort of Health Care reform is required. There are vast numbers of people suffering and even dying because the cost of Health Care is too expensive. Unfortunately people skip doctor appointments and ignore ailments, just because they cannot afford it and it some cases people are paying the ultimate price. I’d like to look a little deeper into the Pros and Cons of Private and Public Healthcare and delve a little into some of the Health Care reform Bills that are in play or will be implemented in the near future. Specifically I want to look at Obamacare, as I hear it in the news, but do not know what impacts it has to the economy, good or bad. List of Figures Figure 1 6 Figure 2 6 Figure 3 7 Figure 4 7 Health Care Reform In recent years, a fair amount of attention has been geared towards Health Care. There has been a number of Economists that have voiced concern that rising health care spending could hurt the economy and lower employment. A December 2004 survey of CEOs found that employee health care costs are the greatest cost concern of America’s business leaders. (via aspe.hhs.gov). Due to the ever rising cost of healthcare, I found that approximately 53 Million...

...Print Media Vs Electronic Media We are living in a rapidly developing and modernized era where technology is taking charge in every walks of our life. This technology may come with many advantages and disadvantages as well. Every development is due to rapid modernization, improvement of old administration methods and the use of new technology to make things even better. However with the growing modernization human demand for knowledge is also increasing. Media serves an important role in keeping people informed about the events and innovations around the globe. This information may reach us in two forms, either through print media which is the oldest method, or the other one can be electronic media. With the improvement of electronic media during past few years and daily reports on achievements, electronic media has dominated over print media during past few years. Print media is the oldest form of Mass Media, and still not outdated. Daily about 70% of people start their day by reading newspaper, which is the oldest media around the world. Newspaper gives us information about whole world within few minutes of reading session, with a choice to skip the topics that we are not really interested about. Print Media still forms an important part of Media Industry which has been given a competition by electronic media and a new technology called e-newspaper applications. But still newspaper holds its value even today and is competing strongly with technology backed media. Basically...

...value prior to pursing it. This brings me to discuss why I want to pursue my MBA degree. As the old saying goes, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste” and someone has at least heard this phrase told to them, “Knowledge is power” so therefore education is a lifelong process and you could never have too much knowledge. I will discuss my reasons for pursuing my MBA, share my personality traits and look at the pros and cons on obtain an MBA. My decision to pursue my MBA After obtaining my degree in Business Administration in April 2011, furthering my education immediately became an option in efforts to broaden my career opportunities. I am currently employed by the City of Tucson as a Housing Services Agent working with low-income families who are in need of housing under the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) public housing sector and have been with the city for 12 years. On occasion, I am second in command when my supervisor is not available so my decisions merit the same when choices have to be made in regards to tenant or staffing issues. The reason I needed to go back to school is to help with my personal growth, be apart of this competitive market, build up my confidence and further my career choices. I want to make more money and would...

...Affirmative Case Stella Ladeinde, Caroline Njagi, Twila Shocknesse, SasheetaVinesh NUR/542 April 17, 2012 Lousie Rittmiller Teaching Values in Schools Prescribed by the State or Federal Government Who should assume the burden of teaching values? While acknowledging the role of parents as natural caretakers and guardians, an evolving American society has made the vital task of mentoring children increasingly difficult. There has been an apparent decrease in character and moral reasoning among today's youth. In light of this dilemma, the state government should introduce moral and character building content into the education code and standards as a beneficial alternative to the guidance provided by parents and guardians. Tay and Yildirim (2009) assert that schools have two important goals in the effort to develop morality within educational parameters: To teach the current values in the society and to cultivate positive, beneficial habits through this education. In addition, schools create opportunities for students to discuss these values and to help develop their own. The proposition states that a set of values must be prescribed by the state or federal government and taught in schools. Before determining whether a set of values formulated by government can have a positive impact in school as opposed to those instilled at home by the family, understanding the general framework of values is essential. According to Family Values International Encyclopedia of Marriage...

...Advantages of Fraternities 1.) Being a part of a fraternity or sorority offers a large selection of exciting volunteer opportunities and numerous social outlets. 2.) But not everyone will have a positive experience as a club member. Those who are fans of these associations argue that the Greek system give students a wide range of leadership opportunities and paves the way to lasting friendships. 3.) In most cases this is true, however it's unfortunate that a number of fraternities and sororities are little more than an excuse for getting drunk and doing potentially dangerous pranks. 4.) A good strategy for anyone considering joining a fraternity is to weigh the pros and cons of life Disadvantages of Fraternities 1.) First of all it is a great time commitment. You will have to devote all your time to your fraternity or sorority. Once you are a member, you should take part in all social events, meeting and competitions. 2.) Money. When you join the organization you should pay initiation fee and room. However, it is not all. You will continue spending your money on social events, attire and other unexpected expenses. 3.) A negative images. Actually, sororities and fraternities are organization that are aimed at positive results. Some of them are rather conservative and remain non-smoking or alcohol free.

In Davao City, an observable statistics of university students from neighbouring provinces and the city’s outskirts live in these temporary residences. However, reports reveal that these housing facilities, most of the time, fail to consider students’ safety and welfare. This study determined the living conditions of university students in boarding houses and dormitories. This is anchored on the premise that the physical and environmental components of these residential facilities could affect students’ holistic well-being. Data elicited through survey involving five hundred seventy-one (571) respondents and focused group discussion among selected groups of student-boarders/dormers, reveal that a student’s stay in a boarding house and dormitory has significant contributions to his/her personal, social, academic and emotional growth. But, this has nothing to do with the development...
