...Clubs Coming To Help Big Bad Bullies: Chayzée Smith’s Story Everyday, millions of innocent kids are bullied around their school. They are pushed around, physically abused, and can’t do anything about it. The bystanders around them decide not to help either. The daily routine is the same: Get to school quickly and get out even faster, to avoid those kids. The thing is, that they don’t tell anyone, or get help. This is what it was like for elementary student, Chayzée Smith, except worse. Usually, Chayzée would leave quickly and run home as fast as he could, sometimes though, he would try to take a chance, and stay for basketball or table tennis at the school, but “the violence of the neighborhood always found its way into the after school program” (Smith). That was the other problem. His neighborhood was a rough one, always getting involved in drugs or violence. Smith would get beat up, or pushed away from anything and everything. Sometimes, he would even see things he shouldn’t or be involved in bad drugs. These issues abused Chayzée in many ways, and he couldn’t find a solution to this mess (BGCA). After a couple of months, teachers started to realize what was going on in Mr. Smith’s life. They realized what Chayzée was going through. So they decided to stand up in...

...The Boys & Girls Clubs of America Targeted Outreach Strategic Approaches primary approach to gang prevention is to identify and recruit at-risk youth and place them into ongoing Club programs and activities (Boys & Girls Clubs of America, 2008). The Boys & Girls Clubs of America offer health and life skills, sports fitness and recreation and tutoring (Boys & Girls Clubs of America, 2008). The programs and activities of the Club help to develop at-risk youth’s character, creativity, and health and mental skills. In addition, the Targeted Outreach program’s receives referrals from schools, courts, law enforcement, and community youth agencies (Boys & Girls Clubs of America, 2008). These referrals immediately identify at-risk youth for joining gangs. A comprehensive strategy to today’s gang problems incorporates both prevention programs and treatment strategies. Guiding principles are the objectives that the builder of a treatment strategy seeks to achieve (Hess & Drowns, 2004). The guiding principles of a treatment strategy for gang members will develop the framework for structuring the foundation of the core values and philosophies necessary for correcting gang member delinquency. Four guiding principles to be used during the development of an effective treatment strategy for gang members are: 1) encourage compliance with the conditions of probation and drug and alcohol programs; 2) identify and address risk factors for delinquent behaviors and actions in individual, group, and...

...Assignment Carol Hickman PHI445: Personal & Organization Ethics Instructor: Kristine Ouzts June 15, 2015 Thesis statement for the Boys & Girls Club of America (BGCA) Not-for-Profit Company This paper will evaluate how the BGCA honor their commitment to assist young people at reaching their potential of becoming productive, caring responsible citizens using motivation, education and encouragement. The ethical issue that BGCA faces is maintaining the virtues and image of the BGCA and the challenges related to disenfranchised youth of today.

...Foundations Paper Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and Longhorn Steakhouse are places many have had the pleasure of visiting. These restaurants focus on providing exceptional customer service and creating a positive work environment for their employees. Along with the focus on exceptional service, these restaurants share another commonality; they are all a part of the Darden Restaurant Group. In 1938, a 19 year old by the name of Bill Darden opened his first restaurant. Over the next 70 years, Bill Darden would add eight different restaurants brands to his portfolio of companies, each one dedicated to providing exceptional customer service. In 1995, the Darden Restaurants Group Inc. would develop the Darden Foundation. A foundation committed to giving millions of dollars to support non-profit organizations in the communities Darden restaurants serve. Darden Foundation The Darden Foundation was founded in 1995 and named for its founder Bill Darden. In partnership with more than 2,100 restaurants and 200,000 employees, the Darden Foundation works each day — through grant making and strong partnerships — to bring a tradition of service to life in every community Darden serves (http://www.dardenfoundation.com, 2014).

Why these men did what they did to me. Old, disgusting men. It was horrible. They knew I did not want to be there, but they paid their money. They used me. I was their property for the night. They destroyed me. (14-year-old girl at Casa Hogar, a shelter in Costa Rica for children rescued from the country’s sex trade1) OVERVIEW Prostitution has been called the world’s oldest “profession.” In reality, it is the world’s oldest “oppression” and continues to be one of the most overlooked human rights abuses of women on the planet today. 2 Prostitution of women is a particularly lethal form of violence against women, and a violation of a woman’s most basic human rights. While society attempts to normalize prostitution on a variety of levels (discussed later in this paper), prostituted women are subjected to violence and abuse at the hands of paying “clients.” For the vast majority of prostituted women, “prostitution is the experience of being hunted, dominated, harassed, assaulted and battered.” 3 It is “sexual terrorism against women at the hands of men and little is being done to stop the carnage...

...that “girls attending girl’ schools were significantly more likely to attend a 4-year college compared to girls attending co-ed schools” (Single-sex vs. Coed). In the same article it shows that girls and boys scored higher on Florida Comprehensive Assessment test. The girls proficient score were “coed-59% and single-sex- 86%” and the boys proficient scores were “coed-37% and single-sex-75%” (Single-Sex vs. Coed). This proves that the children learn better when they are in single-sex classrooms. Students in interviews shared that they felt more “comfortable and at ease in single-sex classrooms” (Single-Sex vs. Coed). In recent media broadcastings America has heard numerous incidents that involved suicides due to bullying in the coed schools. Parents in America are in turmoil worrying how to stop the bullying. In the same research article “Single-Sex vs. Coed” researchers interviewed boys that were not involved in sports which are “gender-atypical boys that usually experience bullying in coed schools the boys stated that this was not an issue in the single-sex schools” (Single-Sex vs. Coed). Single- sex schools could be the way to eliminate bullying in schools. One theory that makes this argument clear is the Conflict theory. Single-sex classrooms would teach girls that economically they do not have to be dependent on men. This could also help in the manner of there not being an issue of boys talking over girls in the classroom. Teachers giving more attention to the boys than...

...The male teams are solely called, “Jaguars,” and not, “Gentlemen Jaguars,” which is extremely significant because it portrays a superiority as they are the only ones that can exhibit the strong and resilient nature of a jaguar. In addition to the biased and inconsiderate title, girls at Blue Valley West also experience prejudice in the substantially less support they receive in their games, even if they have a better year and record than the boys teams. In this year of 2016, the women’s volleyball team at Blue Valley West was on fire and had a sensational record of 42-2-0, whereas the boys football team had a substandard record of 2-7-0. However, the football team still received a tremendous amount of support despite their record, while the girls volleyball team was not as important to the students at Blue Valley West. Usually, it is the other way around, with the most successful team receiving the most support. This is...

Ellington dropped out of high school in 1917 to pursue his music career, and by the mid-twenties had relocated to New York. Ellington’s spotlight to fame came from Harlem’s Cotton Club. Duke Ellington performed at the Cotton Club for a continuous six years, which during that time was a place where many distinguished musicians were born. Ellington is largely responsible for the birth of the “Big Band” era of Jazz. However, Ellington frequently referred to his music as “American Music”.

Kpop is Korean pop music, although it is not only pop music, it is also trot, hip hop and R&B and Rap. It is a competitive field that requires hard work and determination. Kpop is not only music though; it is a guide that can help give a person more insight about the world around them. It is a hard thing to be an idol in Korea, there are so many values and difficulties they must overcome in order to achieve recognition and fame. If someone were to want to be an idol in South Korea then their best bet would be to go to “The Big Three”. YG Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and SM Entertainment, These three companies are named “The Big Three” because they are three of the most highly distinguished and accomplished companies in all of South Korea. “The Big Three” have led many idols to fame in not only South Korea but globally as well. In comparison to Canada or the US you could call South Korean’s harsh with the way they train upcoming artists, but they have higher standards. The training process consists of around three year’s minimum of being a trainee and there are many hardships that must be overcome through that process.

I'm fortunate to have realized those dreams." – David Beckham « prev1 / 4next » Early Years Born on May 2, 1975, in Leytonstone, London, England, to parents Ted Beckham, an appliance repairman, and his wife Sandra, a hair stylist, David Beckham was the family's only son.
