...Nutritional Status & Agricultural Growth in Economic Development of Bangladesh Introduction Bangladesh faces an unfinished agenda with regard to nutrition. Child under nutrition rates remain among the highest in the world. Infant stunting and underweight rates in Bangladesh are above those in Sub-Saharan Africa (50% vs. 30% for underweight and 50% vs. 40% for stunting) despite the latter’s higher poverty rates. A key underlying factor, maternal malnutrition remains intractable despite efforts to improve the nutritional status of pregnant women. Iron deficiency anemia affects nearly 50% of all pregnant and lactating women. A direct consequence of this is low birth weight, which affects 30-50% of all newborns. It limits children’s growth potential and increases their vulnerability to infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases later in life. It also damages their ability to learn and develop useful skills, which exposes them to poverty and further under nutrition. Bangladesh is thus characterized by a cycle of intergenerational poverty, ill-health and malnutrition. To-date, public sector investments to address this have had very little impact because they were limited in scale and scope. Malnutrition is a multi-dimensional problem requiring interventions that cut across sectorial boundaries. Sustained improvements in nutrition outcomes are achieved not only through improved food security, but also changes in behaviours and knowledge regarding dietary diversity, child...

...relevant in this discuss. It is not out of place to imagine that parental socio–economic background can have possible effects on the academic achievement of children in school. Whatsoever affect the development environment of children would possibly affect their education or disposition to it. Parental status is one of such variables. When a woman's nutritional status improves, so too does the nutrition of her young children (Lisa et al, 2003). Rothestein has asserted as follows: "Parents of different occupation classes often have different styles of child rearing, different ways of disciplining their children and different ways of reacting to their children education needs. These differences do not express themselves consistently as expected in the case of every family; rather they influence the average tendencies of families for different occupational classes." (Rothestein, 2004). Socioeconomic status can be defined as a person’s overall social position to which attainments in both the social and economic domain contribute. (Ainley et al., 1995). When used in studies of secondary school students school achievement, it refers to the SES of the parents or family.

...result of the social environment have a great impact on the talking between women and men, not the sex differences in language (307-313). It is explicit that both Holmes and Macaulay express their personal perspectives about the similar purpose of talking, the dissimilar factors of language development and the perception of language that could affect their conversational style. In Holmes’ article, she told about the purpose of talking in public between man and women, “Formal public talk is often aimed at information people or persuading them to agree to a particular point of view” (301). She agrees that public talk is often undertaken by those who emphasize their degrees of public status. In addition, when the men have an effective talk in public, the purpose of the speech is to improve their social status. In private context, women contribute to establish social contact with others and develop personal relationship. Likewise, Macaulay illustrated his opinion in his article that those different social positions would affect the talking between women and men. “It is also obvious that those in a position of power often expect...

...The role visual style plays in communicating the ideas, themes and issues raised by the film Before to the introduction of ‘auteur theory’ Douglas Sirk directed films that were illustrious for classical Hollywood narrative. However, he used his power as director to step outside of the Mainstream Hollywood narrative and stylistic conventions (Core 1994), using techniques such as mise-en-scene to communicate the ideas, themes and issues raised in his films. All That Heaven Allows directed by Sirk is a perfect example of his clever use of visual style to communicate themes of social status, repression and nature. The film was popular at its release as ‘critics were well aware that Sirk's films attracted a humorous popular reception’ (Philip Core p132) but was critically dismissed as a women’s weeping movie (Nick James, 1994). Told from a women's point of view and post WWII exposure gives a sense of context and what life was like for women of the time. As Carrie quotes from ‘walden’s book’ it becomes evident that mise-en-scene enriches the film and gets an insight into post WW2 life. Carrie is trapped, however it is not just the dialogue of the film that is used to expose her entrapment. Carrie is represented as a prisoner in her own home. The use of the TV double comments on what Carrie is going through. Sirk presents the television as a symbol of repression and defeat, a tiresome life. Sirk uses the television set to explore the theme of Carrie as an onlooker on life and...

...In the book The Kite Runner, original social status is proven to create barriers in life regarding the aspects of friendship, mindset, and adaptation to change as we observe Baba’s and Amir’s life journeys in order to discover how it affects these aspects. Amir’s friendship with his hazara servant’s son Hassan takes a sudden toll as he ultimately comes to believe that traditional and historical beliefs outweighed true friendship as he was a young child. The mindset of Baba does not adjust when he and Amir are forced to move to America, as he still believes he possesses the same amount of power as he did in Afghanistan. While living in America, Baba never fully adapts to the American culture and way of life as he continues to live and act the way he would when he was back home. Baba showed this through his attire, and gestures while out in public and at work. Through the many examples in the book, alongside of studied evidence, there is a clear correlation between original social status and barriers which are presented when it comes to friendship, mindset, and the adaptation to change. Being born a Poshtun boy into a wealthy family, Amir is expected to portray specific qualities of a man and society expects him to associate himself with a particular crowd as this factor influences his friendship with Hassan. Baba pressures Amir to portray qualities of a masculine man, such as being aggressive and violent, which is not in Amir’s nature. Baba motivates Amir by comparing him to...
