...As far back as I can remember, I wanted to serve my country. I wanted to do something to give back to a country that had, and was going to, allow me to go as far as my determination and abilities could take me. Until I was older, I thought that the only way that I would be able to serve my country would be to serve as an infantryman. As I got older, I learned that I could serve as an officer, so long as I went through the proper training, and I received a college education. Shortly after that, I learned that I could do both if we're able to attend a military academy, and that was what I decided I would do. I think that I would be able to successfully attend West Point because I have dedicated my life to it, I am driven by an intense obligation to serve my country, and I have the right stuff to become a future leader of men....

...Examine the impact of educational policies on achievement levels of different groups of students. Several educational policies have been established over many years, which had impacts on achievement levels of different groups of students, in terms of social class, gender and ethnicity. The mains policies include several types of compensatory education, Tripartite System through The Education Act 1944, comprehensive schooling, Education Reform Act 1988, Academies & Free Schools and tuition fees. Some viewed these policies positively as they believed that each of these changes had certain outcomes, however, others criticize them. The 1944 Education Act formed the Tripartite System, which established three types of schools separating into Grammar, Technical Secondary and Modern Secondary. Along with the system, 11+ exams were created to help allocate each child into the different schools, where the students who passed the exam went to Grammar and who failed attended either Technical or Modern. This Tripartite System was seen as effective as it discouraged social class discrimination because it was meritocratic as students are allocated according to their ability and performance. However, this so-called meritocratic Tripartite System was criticized since bourgeoisie students had parents with economic and cultural capital, which means they could afford private tutors and better education unlike proletariats so bourgeoisie students were more likely to pass the 11+ exams. Therefore...

...Non-vaccinated Children Allowed to Attend Public Schools – This Is Not Acceptable Assignment 4 – Persuasive Paper Part 1: Revision of a Problem Exists English 215 February 24, 2013 This is a question that every parent must consider when they allow their school-aged child to attend public or even private school. How do you feel about allowing your child to attend school with children who have not been vaccinated? Would it bother you? I’m sure there are several different answers to these questions. This paper will focus on the reasons why unvaccinated children should not be allowed to attend public schools as well as the benefits of vaccination. Every parent wants to raise a healthy child. Every parent wants to make sure their child is protected from infectious diseases and wants to do everything in their power to prevent any illness in the future. Every day there are thousands of babies born in this world and as parents we know that their immune systems are not ready to take on the illnesses that this world has. So why not protect your child? The American Academy of Pediatrics state that childhood vaccines are 90 – 99% effective in preventing disease. The risks of not being vaccinated far outweigh the small risks associated with vaccination. This is an issue that some parents face each time we prepare our children to attend public schools. We all know the common cold is air born and school aged children are prone to picking up that strand from another child. There...

...of the Public Broadcasting Service. This documentary explores how modern vocational education is being reimagined. “Vo-Tech” once was a staple of American education, with students either going from the classroom to blue-collar workplace or going into higher education. However, since the 1970s, the catchphrase has become “college for all.” Although in modern times, many students are not able to attend college due to rising costs and lack of preparation during high school. Recent statistics show that more than half of jobs do not require a bachelor’s degree and many experts say it is time to bring back career and technical education. I was able to listen to the documentary and the producers provided a full transcript. Also on the website, there were links to further information that proved valuable for other...

...10B : 10 Batches D I S C U S S I O N O F A C H I E V E M E N T S Basically, our service is a one day service. Based on the gantt chart above, we can see that we have extended our service to some days. This is due to some unavoidable circumstances happened during the event day. The total batches that we planned to provide a service is 10 batches. However, during the event, only 7 batches were attended. Another 3 batches were not available due to assignment trip. Therefore, we proceeded with the services and lessons with a total of 7 batches. Everything went smoothly as per planned except on the skin analysis and the make-up lesson. Unfortunately, our skin analysis machine was not functioning well and our make-up artist, Carmen Wong who is supposely to give the make-up talk and lesson was unable to attend the event due to illness. These are the reason why we can not proceed with make-up lesson and the skin analysis service on that event day which is on July 31st. Other than that, the evaluation form has been completed on that day for us to review. With that, we received a feedback from the evaluation form. Most of them wanted the make-up lesson and skin analysis service to be operated. Therefore, we planned to perform again to make our service complete 100% in order to satisfy everyone’s needs. We feel that our reputation in delivering good services is important as our major concern is customer’s satisfaction. Besides, we noticed that we should extend...

...Introduction Today’s recession has forced human service agencies and the government to become partners in order to serve the poor. Government funding and grants have decreased and the needs of the poor have increased. According to an 2010 Urban Institute study on nonprofits, the government depends on nonprofit human service agencies to serve the poor (Boris, 2010). Consequently, human service agencies depend on government funding and grants. A financial shift have caused human service agencies to lose funding or cause the agencies to operate waiting on late payment schedules from the government that result in many organizations having to close their doors to needy people. Well known human service agencies such as Chicago’s Jane Adams Hull House, YMCA, domestic violence shelters, childcare facilities, soup kitchens and organizations serving the youth population have stopped providing programs and services because they do not have the budget to pay for the programs. Although many nonprofit human service agencies are funded by the government, a human service organization must compete to get a piece of the dwindling funding pie for its human service programs. The key assumption of this paper is because of the unreliability of government funding, human service organizations must become more effective with their program delivery, contingency revenue generation, and sustainability. In comparison, nonprofit organizations that provide services to the poor must compete for funding dollars...

...Research Proposal, Part 1 Team A CJA/334 February 18, 2013 Susan Wind Research Proposal The issue Team A will be examining is the education of officers, why they decided on that career choice, what motivated them and what was needed to fulfill that goal. The significance of this issue is to develop an idea of what is needed of an individual to become an officer. In general terms the proposed study is the psychology that lies behind the mindset of a career in law enforcement. When understanding the theory behind a career in law enforcement a prediction in direction of future events can help develop, organize, and explain the pragmatic angles inside the criminal justice system. Each angle can support and aim at developing the needed funding to support the training and opportunities individuals seek out to obtain their career in law enforcement. Scientific knowledge behind the paradigm structure of why and how may bring a different theoretical and methodological idea of the criminology career. Funding for careers come from the physical, social, and development of research and can improve on the quality and direction of an individual. In theory that quality of development may need to focus on problems that may arise, such as the demand in small communities compared to larger ones, is there funding and scholarships for minorities and females within each area and what motivates women in the direction of law enforcement. Issues on the background...

...fellow soldiers in a “get it done and think about the consequences later” type of mind frame. Due to the fact that my upbringing was one of high moral standards, I have been able to use and take a mindful approach in my day to day decision making. Which is probably why my number one value from the Rokeach Value Survey was “Honest”. The utilitarianism theory which tries to have the greatest good for the greatest number of people (Gilbert 2012) is probably best fit my personal view of ethical decision making. I am in the food service profession. This means that a lot of my decision are based upon the majority of the personnel that I am preparing food for. I always have to take into consideration that I need to prepare the food that a majority of the guest will eat, because it will be costly if I do otherwise. Although I make whatever attempt that is possible to accommodate the picky eaters, it is just not feasible to have everything that everyone will want. This is a day to day dilemma that I have when I prepare menus for large groups of guest, but have used this method to create a happy medium for all whom attend my events.

...First of all, one realizes the fact that a would-be police officer should satisfy the requirements that exist. It is obvious that some special training which is provided in a police academy is needed. However, not everyone could become a police officer. A person should be in an excellent shape as this sort of job implies various kinds of physical activity. Secondly, a candidate should also be able to act in come complicated and stressful situations. That is why various psychological tests that determine the ability of a person to cope with the great level of stress are provided and help to determine whether a person is ready or not. A candidate should also have good driving skills as car chases are the integral part of the work. Besides, there are not all demands which exist, however, very often theses aspects have a great impact on...
