...This paper addresses the gender gap disparity between levels of fear of crime. Researcher Diedrik Cops, introduces the “fear of crime paradox,” in which those groups that reported the highest levels of fear (women and elderly), in reality have a lower risk of actually being victimized (Cops, 2010). Research taken from National Victimization Surveys (NCVS) indicated in Crime and Criminals, explains that crimes typically occur intraracially, meaning between races and the characteristics of victims tend to male; young (between the ages of twelve and twenty-four); and more likely to be African American than white; more likely to be Hispanic than non-Hispanic (Crime and Criminals, 44).

...over employment relationships (Williams and Adam-Smith, 2009). However, inequality nowadays is more complex. It has gone beyond the issue of class differences, thus the lack of equality and non-discrimination framework impedes the progress of equality and diversity in contemporary organisations (Fawcett Report, 2013). The presented paper builds on the existing literature on the topic of equality and diversity in the workplace, and aims to examine the role of trade unions, governments and human resource managers in promoting equality and diversity within organisations. Particular difficulties of advancing equality in practice are investigated and solutions to overcome these issues are discussed. Overall, the paper is structured into three main sections. To begin, a short outline of different approaches used in addressing equality and diversity will be considered. The first main section highlights the role of the stakeholders in promoting equality and diversity in the workplace. The second section evaluates numerous challenges preventing the promotion of equality in practice. The third section is dedicated to the discussion regarding potential solutions for the issues uncovered in the previous section. Finally, a brief summary section is presented which concludes this paper. 2. HR approaches in addressing equality and diversity The debate of equality and diversity is driven by dichotomous underpinning. According to Williams and Adam-Smith...

...Women in Psychology Paper PSY/310- History and Systems of Psychology September 16, 2012 Laura Rolen Like women, members of minority groups have been on the outside looking in for most of psychology’s history. Unlike the case for women, however, significant gains for blacks and most other minorities were not made in the years following World War II, and minorities continue to be underrepresented in psychology (Goodwin & Wiley & Sons inc., Chapter 15, 2008). In this paper I will be discussing Mary Whiton Calkins (1863-1930), Calkins was an American philosopher and she was the first of her generation of women to enter into psychology. Calkins was born on March 30, 1963 in Hartford, Connecticut she was the eldest of five children who were born to Charlotte Whiton Calkins (mother) and Wolcott Calkins (father). Calkins father was a Presbyterian minister her and her siblings lived and grew up in Buffalo New York, and at the age of 17-years-old her and her family moved to Newton, Massachusetts. Calkins started taking college classes at Smith College in 1882 where she was a...

...their behavior. These students have the most challenging behaviors, they are often emotionally unstable, and oppositional in most situations where change is involved. Students with EBD are served in a variety of settings including the regular classroom. They encounter academic challenges and can pose as a potential threat to the teachers and their peers. It is important for educators to know and understand the rights of the students with EBD in their classrooms. They also need to research and implement effective strategies to use with the students. To best meet all the needs of the student, schools should create a special education team consisting of a special education teacher, regular education teacher, administrator, and parent. Each person is connected to the student in a different way and can provide insight on intervention and prevention. This paper will discuss and summarize the definitions and challenges of EBD, comparing and contrasting the experiences of a special education team versus research. The special education team consisted of a special education teacher, Sherri Wakefield....

...Eliot regarded Four Quartets as his masterpiece and it is the work that led to his being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. It consists of four long poems, each first published separately: Burnt Norton (1936), East Coker (1940), The Dry Salvages (1941) and Little Giddings (1942). Each has five sections. Although they resist easy characterization, each begins with a rumination on the geographical location of its title, and each meditates on the nature of time in some important respect—theological, historical, physical—and its relation to the human condition. Each poem is associated with one of the four classical elements air, earth, water, and fire.Outline Research Paper Thesis Statement: T.S. Eliot wrote poems that expressed his negative views of life, the human race, and the world around him by personifying" I’m not sure what this means: "comparing and highlighting the negative facts about them.

...time immemorial information has been passed down from generations to generations orally. Words and proverbs were actually not attributed to a singular person but to an ethnic group, for instance, the Yoruba adage, the Igbo adage, the Hausa adage, the Bini adage and so on. As we advance over the years, we started attributing word or group of words as quotes to an individual and also books were written by individuals. It was in the bid to stop mass reproduction of books that copyright came into been. During my research on this topic, I found out that most of the research works and journals on academic integrity in Nigeria only focus on cheating, malpractice and fraudulent practices and behaviours by both the student and lecturers alike and none was on plagiarism. Academic Integrity: Nigeria Factors and Solutions profiled In Nigeria, It is no longer news that academic dishonesty remains one of the major challenges of our education system (Olasehinde, 2000; Olasehinde-Williams, Abdullahi & Owolabi, 2003).
