...Children Behavior Worse Than 10 Years Ago It is truth that child behavior today is worse than years ago. There is a tendency for children today to be more aggressive than ever before. The media is extensive with reports of children doing drugs and exhibiting violent behavior. In essence children are less disciplined today than they were years ago. There are number of reasons for the decline in children’s but one of them stands out, and it might even be at the heart of all the others: laxity on the part of parents. Parental laxity has swung open the floodgates harmful factors which have in effect compromised children’s sense of morality and discipline. By reneging on their responsibilities, parents have denigrated the significance of the family as the source of primary socialization (Schultz, 2012). Sociologists profess that behavior is learnt through a process known as socialization. Primary socialization, as differentiated from secondary socialization, occurs during the formative years of a child (Schultz, 2012). It takes place through the child observing and learning from those around him. Through this process a child is taught the type of behavior which elicits approval or disapproval from the people around them, usually the immediate. It is therefore important that at an early age a child observes and learns the right things, preferably from their family members. Unfortunately, parents have not been there to accomplish this process . More over, the institution of the family...

...Should youth 11 years old and younger be exposed to competition, i,e, scoring? Competition can be good for children. It can help children develop healthy attitudes about winning and losing. Children are not born with the natural urge to compete. This is a learned skill and behavior. Competition usually starts at about five years old. Competition can encourage growth and push a child to excel. Competition can also be very rough for a young child. There must always be a winner and a loser, but young children sometimes just can’t deal with losing. The question is, can a young child handle defeat and at what point do you no how much a child can take? Losing is a serious business, especially for a child who really wants to win. Winning, losing, or playing against others has little or no meaning for children under the age of seven. They are more concerned about the rules of the game and how the games are played. They often break the rules, because they can’t remember .By the age of eight, children can follow rules and understand what it really means to win or lose. In 2001, a survey was conducted by Sports Illustrated for kids. The survey found that seventy percent of children quit organized sports by the tender age of thirteen. They said that they were no longer having fun. Often this happens because referees, coaches, and parents are continued more caught up in the competition than the children. The focus should not primarily be on winning or...

...North South University Assignment prepared for: Jasim Uddin (JDN) MGT321: Oraganizational behavior. Assignment prepared by:Kamrul Hasan ID:0930875030 Date:03/10/2011 Do you think attitudes influence job performance? Justify your arguments logically using evidence. The obvious straight forward answer to this question is yes. Yes, attitudes influences job performance very much. The attitude of the employee affects job performance. When employees arrive at work, they bring with them their moods, their emotions, their opinions and their problems at home or with life in general. Since employees may have the need to cooperate with each other to get the work done, their attitude will have great influence on productivity, their relationships with each other and productivity on the job. It is like when an employee has a good attitude about a job, the whole chore just flows so easily leading them to think that the work is so smooth, easy and hassle free; which at the end of the day eventually holds a huge positive impact on their performance at the workplace. But, here is the opposite scenario, when an employee has a bad attitude about a job, he or she will realize either incidentally or coincidentally everything about the work gets wrong, even the silly things which should not be a problem turns out to be huge mistakes. Now let’s go back to the core question WHAT IS AN ATTITUDE? The absolute basic meaning suggests that an attitude is a way of...

...Nowadays, ads have a more important status about impact on consumers. It has both positive and negative impact on children. We should know how to distinguish ads that what have great influence on children’s behavior. In this essay, I will write about what are these impact and what should we do. Let’s start by taking a look at the positive impact of advertiments. First, ads can teach children how to express themselves and cultivate their imagination. Because ads always use some good ideas to get people’s attention, it can teach children how to think about something in other ways. Secondly, children can see the world’s changes in the ads; ads can make children easy to receptive a new thing. On the other hand, advertisements have negative impact too. Ads can make the children get hooked on expensive brand name. They will spend a lot of money to buy something that they don’t need; they will emphasize brand logo when they select goods. Maybe they will forget make a plan on how to spend money. In addition, ads also give the children a un healthy lifestyle. Every company never says their product is bad for people in their message. Children don’t have a good recognition capability to know what true is. They will like junk food, game console and luxury. These are bad for children grow up. In my opinion, we have to take some measures to protect our younger generation from being exploited. We should use more times to let they know what concept is true, and we have...

...Explanation of Title Is the title of the book “Detour for Emmy” a good or bad title? Why or why not? On my perspective the title “Detour for Emmy” is good title for this amazing book. The reason being is because everything Emmy goes threw is like a detour for her from start to ending. Emmy went threw a lot from being a regular teenager to being a mother at teenager years. Emmy had to change her goals and her dreams because of on little mistake that happened. But that didn’t stop Emmy from being the best she could be. She continued her life but down another path because she had another life to take care of besides her own. Being a single parent for Emmy was hard because she didn’t have Art there to help her or be there for Rosie. This was another big detour for Emmy because she thought that Art would’ve been a little bit more of a father and help to Rosie and her but he wasn’t. Everything to Emmy was a big disappointment to her in her life but she would just take another turn to make things better for her. Life for Emmy was full decisions to make either she took one path or she took another. Usually one was the difficult path because she either had to give something up she didn’t have the help. She would always have to take the path she knew would be easier for her and would help her with Rosie. “Detour for Emmy” was a very good title for this book as I explained the things Emmy had to go threw and the detours she had to make because of a little mistake that happened...

...Globalization in Business Donovan Chase PHL/320 12/22/2014 Bridget Peaco Globalization in Business Is globalization good or bad for your business? (1, premise) Globalization is viewed as either good or bad depending on your particular situation. For example, if you are an emerging growth industry, globalization represents a significant opportunity to access broader geographic markets, to accelerate growth and expand your business. (1, conclusion) However, if your business is an industry that has imploded due to the onslaught of global competition, or you have suffered a job loss due to downsizing or outsourcing you probably have a very negative view on globalization being good for business. Is Globalization “Good” Before we can decide what is good we need to have a definition of “good” as it relates to our topic. According to "Merriam Webster" (2014), Good is defined as something that is right or good. Something that has economic utility or satisfies an economic want. An example of good in the way we are defining it is the difference between good and bad. I personally feel that globalization is not good for the business of America. (2, premises) Globalization takes jobs away from people in the United States which raises the unemployment rate. (2, conclusion) Therefore, negatively impacting our economy.

...What does Kant mean by "good without qualification"? Obviously people try to seek and avoid many different sorts of things; those things which they seek they call "good," while those they try to avoid, they call "bad". These "goods" which people seek may be divided into those which are sought as means to some further end and those which they seek as good as ends in themselves. Obviously some things may be "good" as means to one end and "bad" as means to some other end. Different persons, motivated by different ends, will thus find different things "good" and "bad" (relative to their different ends). More food is "good" to a starving man, but it is "bad" to one overweight. In order for something to be good "without qualification" it must not be merely "good" as means to one end but "bad" as means to some other end. It must be sought as good totally independently of serving as a means to something else; it must be "good in-itself." Furthermore, while one thing may be good as means relative to a particular end, that "end" becomes a "means" relative to some other "end". So a college diploma may be sought as "good" as a means for the end of a higher-paying job. And a higher-paying job may be "good" as a means to increased financial security; and increased financial security may be "good" as a means to obtaining the necessities of life as well as a few of its luxuries. However, if we seek A only for the sake of B, and B only for the sake of C, etc., then there is never a justification...

Your dedication to a particular creed, ideology, or set of guidelines does not make you better than anyone else. Do what you believe makes you a good person on your own terms, and remember that it's an individual journey-everyone's path is unique. Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.[1] Be Good Step 3.jpg 3Be proactive. It's tempting to infer that as long as you avoid doing the things you know are bad (stealing, badmouthing, lying, intentionally saying hurtful things, etc.), then that means you are really good person, but there's more to it than that. By avoiding bad behavior, you've made a big step towards becoming a good person, but you've only just begun.

Happiness isn’t gained from any one thing, but from a combination of things according to Aristotle. There are 5 main things that Aristotle states that we need to obtain happiness. They are bodily goods, which include a healthy lifestyle, external goods, which are money, food, shelter and clothes. Then there are psychological goods, these are friendships, family, and self-esteem. Luck, both good and bad luck, and habits, mainly good habits that has us make habits of making right choices and build good character. This brings me to my last point with why I agree with Aristotle.

...Bad Practices I wish I could say yes to this question. The sad truth is that I don’t have a big choice of retailers for the amount of money that I make. Sadly, one of the biggest retailers that I shop at is Walmart. From the lesson presentation, I was completely horrified at how much of the products that are produced for Walmart come from sweat shops. Of course I would love to be able to say I will not shop at Walmart again, but there are no alternatives that provide the pricing that is provided there. I think however, it would be beneficial for the companies to have accountability for their overseas factories. I know this would inevitably drive up the prices of the products being produced, but at least the people who are creating these goods would not have to deal with the harsh conditions of these plants. There are some products that I don’t buy from Walmart, such as jeans, because I can purchase them at a local retailer for a couple of dollars more. This particular company gets their merchandise from within the United States and the working conditions of those plants are safe and the people are not over worked. So, in a way I have already begun to switch my shopping locations. True, I just can’t get away from Walmart, but I am trying to be more conscience of what I buy and I really try to do as much research as I can on a given company. I have to mention that Walmart is not the only company that goes about getting their goods from overseas sweat shops though. I used...
