...violence is and is not, at what point do we decide what is better for our children to see, violence on television or video games and movies. We see in the news all the time reports about children shooting up schools, like Columbine, and Sandy Brook elementary. In both cases the media and video games were to blame for these tragedies, people have always been tied in their thoughts about why these things happen. At what point do we take responsibility for the way we raise our children? And at what point do we stop the media from depicting horrible images that may cause harm to our children? The Studies on Violence Several theoretical models describe the psychological mechanisms through which media violence can influence later behavior. Fundamentally, the psychological process all rely on learning. With repeated exposure to media violence, one can guess that one will be more aggressive. Many studies have been done the effects of media violence and videos games on the young human mind. Most of the studies done show that after time of playing violent video games many children’s aggressive side came out more. One study that was done showed that aggression could even arise 3-6 months later after the child was exposed to the game. Though it is equally possible in these studies that people who are more aggressive tend to navigate to more violent video games and movies. With that thought that people who tend to be more violent who gravitate to violent sources, why are those...

...WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND? MAXIMS IN TEXT MESSAGE CONVERSATIONS An Undergraduate Thesis Proposal Presented to the Faculty of St. Mary’s College of Bansalan, Inc., Bansalan, Davao del Sur In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor in Secondary Education Major in English Merry Grace O. Bajo Maristelle R. Agcaoili Kimberly Villarin Ernyl Ver Egod CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING Introduction Grice's theory of conversational implicatures is considered as one of the basic and most interesting theories in the history of pragmatics (Levinson, 1983). It sets forward the mechanism that language users should follow in order to understand each other in so many instances when meanings and intentions are not explicitly conveyed (Terkourafi, 2007). Grice’s theory of Conversational Implicatures revolves around the maxims of quantity, quality, relation and manner and how they are violated or flouted. Paul Grice came up with these not as a set of prescriptive rules that people should follow in conversation, but as a means of describing and analyzing the way people convey meanings in real life interactions. The maxim of quantity refers to how much information is necessary in a particular conversation. In observance of this maxim according to Grice, “one should make his or her contribution as informative as required” and “one should not make his or her contribution more informative than is required” in a conversation. The maxim of quality on the other hand, pertains...

July 2010 34 Factors Affecting Students’ Academic Performance: A case study in Agartala Municipal Council Area Amitava Raychaudhuri*, Manojit Debnath**, Saswata Sen*** and Braja Gopal Majumder**** Abstract: Number of empirical studies has been done to determine the factors affecting school students’ performance in the elementary level. The basic objective of the present study is that students’ performance in annual examination is associated with students’ attendance in the class, family income, mother’s and father’s education, teacher-student ratio, presence of trained teacher in school, sex of the student, and distance of schools. The study is based on primary data. The required information was collected through random sample survey of the student in the government and government aided schools and their households. By applying regression analysis it was found that factors like students’ attendance, Mother’s education & presence of trained teacher in the school have a positive impact of students’ academic performance. 1. Introduction: The main objectives of education, as S.K. Paul et al. held are to bring “changes not only in the amount of knowledge but also for achieving abilities to do something, to think and to acquire habits, skills and attitudes which characterize on individual who is socially accepted and adjusted”. Keeping these in view SARVA SHIKSHA ABHIYAN was launched in 2001 with the objective of implementing...

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Nutrition plays an important role in the present age of scientific investigation and discovery. Recent studies and discoveries in the field of nutrition have been considered among the greatest scientific achievements because of their far reaching effects on human progress and welfare. Credit is due to those investigators in the field of nutrition who made careful and painstaking studies which have given knowledge on how best to select, combine and prepare food to promote the health and efficiency of the individual The world’s demand for food is becoming greater than ever. The current world population of 8 billion needs new innovations to meet the growing challenges of the poor and hungry world. Over nutrition, obesity, and related diseases characteristic of the developed world, is becoming serious public health problems in countries with widespread food insecurity. Children suffering from under nutrition today could well be afflicted with chronic diseases of development as adults. The economic development that has led to improved food security and better health in some countries needs to be harnessed, while at the same time incentives to avert the adverse health effects of the nutrition transition need to be taken. The potential of novel foods to alleviate under nutrition is becoming more apparent. But they are unlikely to have a role in the prevention of diseases associated with over nutrition in developing countries, which use...

...appropriately. Children spend a large portion of the year in school consuming many of their daily calories from school lunches; something must be done to make the food they eat healthier. School lunches are full of fat and calories and do not offer the right type of fruits and vegetables, no appropriate proteins and dairy items. The government has partnered with farmers to provide the food to the schools but in doing so has not offered our children the healthiest options. In addition schools do not have the budget to purchase healthier options on their own and will often subsidize the food program by selling name brand fast food in the cafeteria for a marked up price. Changing children’s eating habits in schools will be very difficult because you can’t force children to eat. It is uncertain if changing school lunches would decrease obesity or not. Though children are in school for a large portion of the day they still have time at home and if life changes are not made changing how they eat in one area may not do much of anything. Another assumption I have made is that by increasing recess time rather than decreasing it children would not be as obese. The same goes for making physical education mandatory in elementary schools and requiring physical education be taken in each semester of high school. Simply changing the lunch menu and offering more lunch time would not necessarily decrease the obesity rate among school age children. Without any type of education to go along with...

...Chapter 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES Presented in this chapter is foreign and local literature and studies which are relevant to the present undertaking. Literature and studies cited enables the researcher to have a better understanding and a wider perspective of this investigation. Adversity Quotient (AQ) and its nature Resilience refers to the ability to cope or to give a successful response to high risk or adversity as measured by the four CO2RE scales of the adversity quotient. It is an outcome of both individual characteristics and environmental causes. Resilience is viewed by the individual from the inside as he or she responds to the outside or external influences and events, viz. Adversity. Richard Davidson, director of the Laboratory for Effective Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin, conducted a landmark series of brain imaging studies that tested two groups of people: one identified as highly resilient to life’s ups and downs, the other easily upset by them. Davidson tracked their brain function as they performed stressful tasks, such as writing about the most upsetting experience in their lives or performing difficult math problems under time pressure (Goleman, 1997). Resilient people have a remarkably rapid recovery from stress. A study of store managers at a large American retail chain store found that the managers who were most tense, beleaguered, or overwhelmed by job pressures ran stores with the worst performance...

Copyright © 2005 by Pearson Education, Inc. Learner Diversity Differences in Today’s Students T eachers begin their careers expecting to find classrooms like the ones they experienced when they were students. In some ways classrooms are the same. Students go to school to learn, but they also want to have fun and be with their friends. They expect to work but often need encouragement from their teachers. They’re typical kids. Classrooms are changing, however; the population of our schools is becoming increasingly diverse. Students come from different cultures and speak many different languages at home; they possess a range of abilities and talents; and issues involving differences between boys and girls are receiving increased attention. In this chapter we examine this diversity as we try to answer the following questions: ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ What is cultural diversity, and how does it influence student learning? How are the educational experiences of boys and girls different? How do schools accommodate ability differences in learners? What are learning...

...the scarcity of the faculty, improving of facilities and the inevitable school competition where most of the parents and also their kids prefer to enroll their child or even the children themselves prefer to attend in a well-popular university because of its name, facilities and even their graduates or alumni students who became their proud products. Also, one of the main reason why the incoming freshmen prefer to enroll to other school is the financial matters that their parents are unable to sustain their needs in terms of school projects, tour and other related subjects that entails money to spend as well as daily allowances. These are the reasons why they have a limited number of enrollees or even experiencing the ups and downs in terms of enrollment. The Department of College of Business and Commerce in Arellano University Pasay branch and even in the other branches are also faced this kind of dilemma. Now, the department head, staff and the faculty enhance a strategies based on the concerns of the student and even the number address its problems increase of new enrollees. In this way, the Department will promote their courses in order to capture and persuade more enrollees to enroll to in AU-Pasay Campus. The enhancement of existing promotional strategies would be a basic of increasing number of enrollees that would realize the profit in the year to come.
