...Argument Against Wearing School Uniforms Theirs is an ongoing discussion in the nation about school uniforms, whether or not they help with behavior problems and scores (“An Argument Against School Uniforms”). Kade A., A sixth grade student, when asked about school uniforms she said, “no, I don’t like them because they are uncomfortable and makes her and maybe the people around feel like their wearing church clothes all the time” (“An Argument Against School Uniforms”). “Clothes are a sources of expression for children, an as kids get older they become increasingly resentful of uniforms. By instituting a uniform policy, schools are taking away kids individuality. Schools need to decide if that sacrifice is worth making” (“An Argument Against School Uniforms”). “School Uniform use was not significantly correlated with any of the school commitment variables such as behavior, or substance use of (drugs). In addition, students wearing uniforms did not appear to have any significantly different academic preparedness, proschool attitudes, or peer group structures with proschool attitudes other than students” (“An Argument Against School Uniforms”). Middle School/Junior High is a time of maturing, physically, mentally, academically and emotionally. Schools need to create an environment that encourages students individuality and motivate them to challenge themselves and inspire self confidence. Some people feel that school uniforms diminish creativity and self expression (“An Argument...

...Courtney Keys July 2, 2014 Dev Writing Uniforms Having your identity is the one thing that students should be given the opportunity to have. Yet schools are moving more towards uniforms throughout elementary through high schools. The debate over uniforms in public schools encompasses many larger issues than simply what children should wear to school. It touches on issues of school improvement, freedom of expression and gang violence. It's no wonder the debate rages on. Many schools are now requiring students to wear school uniforms. School board officials believe that uniforms are needed in public schools. School uniforms are not a negative thing to have. Yes, uniforms limit what the students have to choose to wear to school every day, but it doesn’t limit them from learning; the only reason they are in school. Student treat school as a fashion show, so eliminating that puts the students’ full focus on schoolwork. Although requiring students to wear school uniforms may violate their self-expression in some ways, a uniform are supposed to be looked upon as a positive thing, because they eliminate bullying, combine social classes and gives the school campus a professional look. First of all, school uniforms limit individuality. We are living in a world where it's important to express one's unique individuality. Clothing is a very effective way to show this. For example, if you like playing the basketball, you can show this by wearing a T-shirt with a picture of basketballs...

You’ll be wearing this every day, every week, and for the entire school year. Boring. Not only do parents have to buy regular clothes for their kids, now they have to buy school uniforms for their kids to wear to school every day. Every family will not be able to afford these school uniforms along with regular clothes. You will look exactly like everyone else. Students should not have to wear school uniforms.

... Abstract Females in school are exposed to all kinds of different rules that takes away their right to express themselves. During this essay you will find reasons why dress codes are difficult to follow upon female student. This essay will also explore some of the different controversial issues between schools and female students due to the dress code policy, and the different ways females use to fight back. School dress codes are more for females than males, because schools see women as distraction for males and others. Schools dress codes are messing with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gives the students the right to express themselves, without hurting others. We will see how females fight back on what they believe it is taking their freedom of speech and freedom to express their unique personalities. Fighting For Freedom Women like to express themselves through clothing, shoes, hair, make up and all kind of different accessories. Regardless of what color, religion, what body size or shape they have, females like to personalize their style using fashion and new trends. While parents drill on their female children the importance to love and feel comfortable with themselves no matter how they look. Schools portrays women as a “distraction” for men and others. They are constantly making changes to the school dressing codes, especially for female students from kindergarten to high school because of their natural sexuality...

Traditionally formal learning that takes place in a school or university and has a greater value placed upon it than informal learning, such as learning within the workplace. This concept of formal learning being the socio-cultural accepted norm for learning was first challenged by Scribner and Cole[4] in 1973, who claimed most things in life are better learnt through informal processes, citing language learning as an example. Moreover, anthropologists noted that complex learning still takes place within indigenous communities that had no formal educational institutions.[5] It’s the acquisition of this knowledge or learning which occurs in everyday life that has not been fully valued...

...research paper will examine the idea that traditional police training methods are inefficient for modern adult learners and new methods and techniques need to be utilized to ensure that today’s police force remains highly trained, professional and effective. The theory behind my thesis statement is that police officers are starting their law enforcement careers later in life (Mineard, 2006), are more diverse, have higher education and more life experiences. In the past, police officers were minimally trained, entered their careers at twenty-one or twenty-two years of age and had limited or no life experience prior to becoming police officers. Many law enforcement officers of the past entered police work directly from military service or school. Police training was developed during the early nineteenth century and the methods of training police officers have not change much over the past two decades. With the advent of the more mature, experienced and educated entry-level police officer, comes the need to reassess the training methods and adapt them to more effective methods for adult learners. Gone is the day of telling a rookie officer to sit in the car, keep quiet and do everything the training officer tells them. The military style training of blindly following leaders and trainers is not a reality in the twenty-first century. Officers who are better educated and have more life experience will, naturally, ask more questions, have more of an analytical approach to policing...

...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...

This paper will also show how the consumer will be able to innovate ways on how to appeal to the segment on how she will continue on buying the regular products she have bought. Introduction Buying brands or whole name products are an intangible needs that depends on the customer. A lot of people buy a specific brand at certain stores that are associated with big or lesser value that is important for the consumer.

...emphasized and we were made to focus more on our academic school life rather than extracurricular. There were students talented in many other 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...

In this work we will describe and scrupulously analyze more chapters than usual, given in the book “Managing Human Resources” 10th Edition, by Susan E. Jackson, Randall S. Schuler and Steve Werner, as these are the last chapters, introduced to us by the authors. In this case we will try to give adequate interpretation and analyses to the main concerns that appear in the related book. And finally, at the end of the essay we will answer the questions, related to this exam. The questions are: 1 Should companies offer a uniform “package” of benefits, or should they move to a flexible plan that allows employees to choose the benefits that are most meaningful to them (up to a specific, pre-established dollar amount)? 2 What are some key issues to consider when establishing and monitoring an employee assistance program? 3 How have changes in product and service markets affected the way labor and management relate to each other? Looking deeply into the chapter nine, we will give the analysis to the process of Conducting Performance Management, as to the one of the major aspect in the modern Human Recourses...
