...Why Physical Education Should Not Be Mandatory in College I firmly believe that gym class should not be a mandatory part of a college schedule. Simply put, I think this in large part due to the fact that other venues and activities exist for the opportunity to get oneself in shape, as well as the point that why should a student be made to take a class when he is paying a lot of money out of his or her own pocket for their tuition? He or she should be given their own choice when it comes to taking a physical education course of any kind. While the opportunity to take the class should remain, the choice to make such a class mandatory is imprudent and arbitrary, at best. If someone wishes to get themselves in shape, they can find the time to go to a gym, or find the time to run a track. As busy as a student’s life is, it is not so busy that some time cannot be put aside for their own health and physical well being. In fact, this should be one of a student’s most important priorities, and should not be difficult to pencil into a schedule. There are many ways outside of class that a student can get exercise. They could walk, run, swim, work out, play any variety of sports; the list can be unending. In short, activity can be done so it is both healthy and something a student wants to do. So why implement it as a mandatory activity that some students would not want to participate in? Some may feel that they already get enough exercise as it is: there would be no...

Some disabilities that would hinder gym would be hip dysplasia, asthma, and neuropathy. Gym class shouldn’t be graded because gym class might only matter if you want to be an athlete. Everyone’s fitness ability is different, and some people have disabilities that make it hard to do gym. Unless you’ve got a star athlete on your hands, gym won’t matter in college. In real life colleges don’t care if your kid can score a goal or not. Gym doesn't matter as much to people who want to be an artist or an animator. Some...

...1. Why are you interested in being a Peer Health Educator? I am interested in becoming a Peer Health Educator because I would like to promote awareness and educational programs on concerning matters such as mental health, nutrition, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, and safety relationships to Sac State students. In addition, I am also interested in learning the skills and knowledge that will help me and my fellow colleagues reduce potential distressful life experiences. 2. What are your future career goals, and how do you think the PHE program will contribute to those? My future career goals is to work as a health educator either at a college, hospital or a non-profit organization.

...fields besides academics, but they were praised only on the field not in the class, the teachers would inform us that extracurricular is important for all round development but rarely any action was taken to support this statement. Moreover they were constantly told to focus on their academics more. I also found that the school failed to present extracurricular in more attractive manner. For example: During dance class the boys would rarely appear and were found to bunk class as they did not seem to find dance class worth their time and requested the teachers for excuse on gender basis. Visual arts were usually spent skipping, only the interested students could not bear to bunk class. Sports were popular obviously, but no one enforced mandatory participation to passive students who preferred to study in class instead of exercise. In music class, which was once a week most students rarely showed any intrigue towards learning their instrument and practicing them, so much so that when a survey was made by the principal, about 80% of the students in music class did not possess any knowledge of playing the national anthem or school song on their respective instrument. Moreover switching instrument classes were also forbidden, this only fueled the lack of interest creeping around the school. The classes were compulsory but...

...Week 5 Draft Summary for Prison Rehabilitation and Counseling Programs I chose to focus this term paper on the various programs offered to prisoners as part of their rehabilitation for introduction back into society. In today’s world there are many who believe that every one can be rehabilitated. The question should be asked; “does rehabilitation really work for everyone?” I will provide statistics on the success and failure rate, as well as which programs are most beneficial to prisoners. Whether rehabilitation and counseling works or not, something has to be done to assist prisoners in order for them to lead a normal life upon their release. I will discuss some of the many programs offered by various states ranging from “Pets in Prison” to obtaining college degrees. I will explain the various types of counseling offered to sex offenders, pedophiles and murderers. Those are a few topics I feel should have special interest in the counseling/rehabilitation area. I am sure most would agree that prisoners should receive some type of counseling and rehabilitation, but where do you draw the line on the rehabilitation services offered? Should the money from taxpayers be used to fund certain types of programs, how does the prison system decide who gets to participate in which programs, and how can counselors and judicial boards ensure there will be no regression? Those are just a couple of questions that will be answered throughout my report. Structural...

...Lifelong Learning Vicki Matthews SPE525N: Educating Learner’s With Diverse Needs Professor Gwen Dickey September 23, 2009 Abstract: Lifelong learning is a process for all children, regardless of learning abilities. The brain of an infant or toddler is like a sponge; the brain is in its’ prime. Increased mental and physical stimulated offered to a child during this time, the greater the chances of increased developmental growth. Attitudes have changed over the last few decades in regards to children with disabilities. Instead of hiding or ignoring the disability, models of advocacy and early intervention are espoused as being key to helping disabled children have academic success and also learn the social and life skills needed to transition in their adult lives. Introduction: Many years ago, when a child exhibited a potential developmental disability parents were advised to let a child ‘grow-out of it’. As the field of special education has evolved and grown, it readily acknowledged that catching issues early, not ignoring them, is the most effective way to help the child. “Early childhood experts agree that the earlier intervention begins, the better. Child development expert Burton White, who has conducted years of research with typically developing infants and preschoolers at Harvard University’s Preschool Project, believes that the period between 8 months and 3 years is critical to cognitive and social development:“to begin to look at a child’s educational...

...University Abstract Obesity is at an all time high in the Unites States, affecting 35% of adults and 17% of children. Childhood obesity can be very detrimental causing emotional, physical, and social strain on the lives of adolescents. Those that are affected the most are citizens that live in low socioeconomic status communities due to lack of education and lack of resources. There are shortages of grocery stores and markets that offer fresh fruits and vegetables thus communities rely on fast food restaurants and convenient stores for food. Furthermore lack of fresh food coupled with physical inactivity is the main reason for the rise of childhood obesity and obesity in general in the past 30 years. Creating safe places for children to play as well as providing food and resources is the only way to eliminate the ongoing obesity epidemic. Growing up there has always been a certain degree of importance placed on the diet and living a healthy lifestyle to live a long and successful life. As of late there has been a boom in fitness sales, gym memberships, and importance on diet and quality food consumption, yet in the past 30 years the United States has seen a drastic increase in the amount of obese individuals. With social media and so many other health initiatives taking place across the country, why is there still a rise in obesity levels amongst adolescents and adults? This shift in weight can be attributed to numerous sources such as fast food consumption, overall poor diet...

...million criminals behind bars, more than any other nation, according to data maintained by the International Center for Prison Studies at King's College London.” Americans are often locked up for things such as using drugs or writing a bad check. Sending someone to prison should be our last resort because it’s expensive and can increase risk for future criminal behavior. Yet, even as the crime rates decrease, prisons are still overcrowded. The reason for this, according to the American Legislative Exchange Council in the article “Prison Overcrowding,” is: During the late 1980s and early 1990s, state and local governments passed tough crime legislation. For example, California passed the “three strikes and you’re out” law which called for mandatory sentencing of repeat offenders, and New York adopted the “Broken Windows” strategy that called for the arrest and prosecution of all crimes large and small. Policy such as this led to reduced crime rates, but increased populations in jails and prisons. While mandatory sentencing laws are being passed, laws criminalizing an increasing number of behaviors are also being passed. The result is that, not only are judges forced to send people to prison in cases where it might not be necessary, but they are forced to do so because there are more activities which come with mandatory sentences than ever before. overcrowding in California was so bad in California that the Supreme Court declared it to be cruel and unusual...

...system that is “just” is one that is the most fair. Specifically, he believes that society should be built in a way that is fair for everybody and that those rights of any individual should not be sacrificed for the greater good of society. It is my observation that in today’s society injustice is wide spread and there is a moral collapse of our society due to the rich having the insatiable need for power and to control our society. Even when the creators of our society think they are being fair, the reality is that self preservation comes first, therefore rules and laws are mostly created to satisfy the wealthy, white, and normal upper middle class citizens . The race to achieve the American dream seems obtainable for only certain people and is more difficult to achieve when one is faced with certain obstacles or disabilities that others do not have. This need for control even effects our education which appears to cater to the young and affluent and those with a promising future and not to those of us who are in our mid life or older, disabled or recovering from a debilitating event in our life. Today’s system systematically disadvantages the poor, disabled, and the elderly in obtaining the same goals as a normal, healthy young student straight out of high school even though it appears that we have the same opportunities. Although there are special education programs in college, there is still a time limit before your funds run out and they are through with you. ...

...form of disabilities or the other, capable of limiting their involvement and participation in the regular educational programmes, and subsequently affect their academic performance and functionality in the society. The Nigerian society, like every other one, is composed of individuals with special needs. In Nigeria there is a severe lack of legislation relating to the education of disabled children with the National Policy Education (NPE) and the 'Nigerians with Disability Decree' the only government literature available. Released in 1977, the NPE set out the aims of special education in Nigeria: • To give a concrete meaning to the idea of equalising educational opportunities for all children; their physical, mental and emotional disabilities notwithstanding; • To provide adequate education for all disabled children and adults, in order that they may play their roles fully in contributing to the development of the nation; • The policy also includes beneficial provisions to people with special needs: Integration of children with handicap into the mainstream of regular school and provision of special education for children; In 1993 the Nigerian Government enacted the first...

Sexual assault may affect students' academic achievement as well as their capacity to contribute to the campus community." We should have effective solutions to prevent this problem. First of all, sexual assault has influences of all human behaviors. Social environment is one of the strongest influences as a lot of the criminal activities are performed by people who throughout life have had certain social influences.
