Several studies found this problem challenging and therefore, efforts have to be exerted in order to determine the root cause. According to Lass and Wilson (1965), student fails not because they do not have intelligence to understand why they are studying, not because their lessons are too difficult for them, but because they do not know how to study or understand what study means.

Targeting unhealthy behaviours depends upon a number of factors since the health practitioner needs to take into account the beliefs, the intensity of the unhealthy behaviour, an individual’s readiness to change in order to design an appropriate intervention to help the individuals understand the risks of that particular behaviour thereby inducing change. Using alcohol consumption as a health related behavior, brief interventions for this behaviour have been explained, this is mainly due to the large success of brief interventions. Thus this essay critically discusses examples of brief interventions in order determine what contributes to a successful intervention. INTRODUCTION Every human’s health and well being is affected by health related behaviour often regarded as the foremost important element or factor.

The film offers a realistic tension of the Civil Right era where there were segregations of bathroom, libraries, schools, and facilities. These three women were excellent role models, they’re story is full of positive messages and theme including integrity, perseverance, teamwork, and communication. In the scene where the colored people had to set in the back of the bus because they are second class citizens and had to go to far so they could relieved themselves was outrageous in a way that make you think twice on what to do in order to be accepted in this kind of prejudice. Katherine assigned to theoritical math in a room full of men engineers and she even had been confused as the housekeeping at first. Dorothy struggles to be named supervisor of her group even when she already did what a supervisor supposed to do. Mary goes to court so she can go to graduate school for engineering.

METHODOLOGY AND SAMPLING DESIGN 3.1 Types of Research 3.2 Sources of Data 3.3 Questionnaire Design 3.4 Sampling Design 4. DATA MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Nepal Bank Limited is the oldest commercial bank of Nepal. It was established 1937 which marked the beginning of an era of formal banking in Nepal. From the very conception and its creation, Nepal Bank Ltd, was as joint venture between the government and the private sector. Out of 2500 equity shares of NRs. 100 face value, 40% was subscribed by the government and the balanced i.e. 60% was offered for the sale to private sector. There were only 10 shareholders when the bank first started. It can be said that Nepal Bank Limited has a history that is unequal to any in Nepal. It was the first one of its kind. It also served as the central bank of Nepal. It is, thus, safe to say that the history of banking sector in Nepal would be incomplete without mentioning Nepal Bank Limited. The service rendered by Nepal Bank to the country and its people is a great one- one that has no parallel. The banking industry...
