...Arrington School: Penn Foster Essay: Ways to Get Your Children to Clean Their Room Date: 06/27/2016 The Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov was interested in the study of gastric function. He examined dogs' saliva when he fed them. While studying the dogs, Pavlov noticed they would salivate before they were fed the food. He then investigated the dogs' behavior and found that the dogs would salivate upon hearing the sound of a bell ringing, and moments later, they were given the food. It was at that time when Pavlov's discovery took place. By taking the unconditioned stimulus, which was an alarm sound, and a neural stimulus, which was something the dogs had been born with, and joining the two stimuli in a close range of one another, we learned that this phenomenon was called classical conditioning. We learned from classical conditioning that humans can learn. Children can learn to clean up their rooms by presenting children with an unconditioned stimulus and by sometimes adding incentives so that the children will associate the incentives with cleaning up their rooms, which would create positive cleaning habits that would last a lifetime. Another way of classical conditioning would be for children to watch their parents clean. Children often imitate what they see, so it would help the child or the children to witness how cleaning should happen by watching how their parents clean their home. Having children learn to clean up after themselves helps them throughout...

...their needs. A desk with the proper equipment, space to properly hang documentation, and a floor to organize other needed pieces of equipment. Organization can seem overwhelming at first, but with a little patience the task is really quite easy. Start with the biggest space hog in the office which is your desk. The desk should be clean, easily accessible, and sturdy. A desk should be able to withstand the weight of your pc, monitor, and desktop accessories. It should also have plenty of storage in which to put items that do not need to be accessed on a regular basis. These items could include: notes pads, personal accessories, food, pens, pencils and much more. Another crucial aspect of a well-organized office is to have uncluttered walls. I know it is tempting to hang cat photos, and inspirational pictures, but they serve no purpose in productivity. Items such as white boards, contact lists, charts, and graphs are much more suited for an efficient office. The final piece of a well-organized office is the floor. The floor should be clean and free of unnecessary objects. A person should be able to walk around without fear of falling due to trip hazards. It should also have room for filing cabinets, or other storage containers. These objects should be able to be placed in a manner that is conducive to a proper Feng shui. Feng shui is a Chinese...

...A. R. K Baker ENG 102 4 May 2012 Microorganisms at Work This topic is about how microorganisms continue to live in hospital rooms even after the rooms have been cleaned. The organisms that concern me are the multi resistant ones. It starts with a patient who is in isolation because of one of these bacteria’s and then discharged from the hospital after they are well. If these organisms are on the bedside table or the handrails the patient is already cured so it will not affect them. What about the patient coming in the room next? It is left to the housekeepers to clean the room well enough to prevent the spread of these infections. These infections that are spread from one patient to another are called nosocomial infections. They are hospital acquired bacteria’s. I came to this topic after my daughter had this exact thing happen to her. She is a brittle diabetic and at one point required a lot of hospital visits. After one of these visits she started to develop a boil. This in turn caused her blood sugar to go up and we ended up back in the hospital. Thinking the boil was a spider bite we were surprised to find out it was methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). They explained that it was a nosocomial infection that was probably acquired on our last hospital visit. When asked how she got it they said it was multi resistant and was passed from something she came in contact with that another patient would have touched. This is a problem that has been on the...

...Cleaning is an essential part. Some cleaning should be done daily, some should be done weekly and some monthly. Daily cleaning involves the floors, rugs, bathroom, handles, and tables. The floors and rugs should be vacuumed every day. Tables and counters should be cleaned daily, due to the fact they get used throughout the day. Handles that anyone has touched, should be disinfected. Another thing that I clean daily in my daycare room, is the mats I use for nap time. You should always clean them because you never know who will have them the next day. Maintenance on items should be done as soon as possible, always let your boss know when you find something wrong. Now the cleaning could be done by the staff or by a cleaning company. I do know at my daycare, we clean it. Now when it comes to location and space of a daycare, it is best to follow state regulations while choosing where you would like your facility. Security is important to have at a daycare. When it comes to security, try and have cameras in every room there is for you to be able to watch what is going on in the rooms. At the entrance I would a...

...Leaving Home - Essay At some point in a teenager’s life – we simply want to leave our parent’s house. However, moving out is not that simple again as it might sound. There are a lot of different things you need to consider and deal with, such as how you spend your money, food, clothing etc. And that is just the top of the mountain. But, we can now conclude that it is not quite as simple as we might have hoped. But what are the benefits of moving out, from your parent’s basement? When you want to move out from your parent’s old basement – we discovered that it is not that simple again, but when you manage to get it under control what’s the benefits? Well, there’s many.

...to one. In this essay I am going to give you a list of reasons why trucks are being chosen over cars. Trucks are large and have lots of room inside for passengers, and their cargo. Trucks always have plenty of leg room in their cabs. With a pickup truck you can always drive down the road and not have to worry about bottoming out over a simple rut in the road, or a speed bump. Trucks have that extra room under them to give that extra little lift between the ground and the bottom of the truck. In a truck you never have to worry about running into the curb when parking and bending down your license plate. A car will always allow you lower insurance rates. On every insurance sight on the internet, cars always had the lowest rates. Cars also get great gas millage. You can fill up your car and usually do it for around $40.00, and proceed to get all around town for a couple of days. When going on a road trip cheaper is always better, so a car is the way to go. Cars are also the original vehicle, there what many people think of as a vehicle. It was the first vehicle and some people will drive nothing else. Trucks are great for hauling things. When doing yard work, you can haul off any yard dabree by yourself. Then when picking up mulch or bark dust, it can be loaded directly into the back of the truck and taken to where it needs to be unloaded. Clean up on a truck is then simple with a truck, you just hose out the bed and you are done. With a car you have no room for hauling things...

...------------------------------------------------- My most embarrassing moment My Most Embarrassing Moment Baum, Narrative Essay Have you ever had a moment in your life that you can just not forget about? I have a time in my life that I have never been so embarrassed in front of so many people. Some things are easier to remember, and some are easier to forget. I can remember this day as if it happened yesterday. It was a Friday night and I went to eat at Bonnie & Clyde’s pizza with my family for my brother’s birthday party. Out of all nights the place was packed and there was not one empty chair in the building. We sit down at the table and we enjoy the birthday. We eat pizza, cake, and everyone was having a good time. I thought I would be nice and start to clean up everyone’s plates and cups to make some room on the table for everyone. They give you the pizza on a round silver tray, so I started to pile up all the plates, cups, and silverware on to the tray. As my mother asked me “do you need any help?” I told her no I got it and started to walk up to the counter to drop off the tray. I knew that with all the stuff piled onto the tray that it was going to be too heavy but I wanted to try and carry it anyway without any help. As I am walking the tray up their stacked full I tripped over a step in the floor and I am sure you can guess what happened next. I dropped the tray everywhere and I feel to the floor. The trash went everywhere along with...

...left--it feels more like 2 years--and so far I’ve been bossy as hell. When Jesus is here, he isn’t much of a dictating older brother, he usually keeps to himself, but when he comes out of his cave, he’s not afraid to tell us the truth. “Clean your room it’s messy as hell. Go outside and actually do something instead of sitting on the couch all day! Wash your dirty dishes! Clean the bathroom, mop and sweep the floor. Clean the kitchen. Feed the chickens!” His nagging is a whirlwind. I, on the other hand, am much worst. What I inherit from him is not only my siblings and housework, but also the nagging. I don’t just nag, I yell. Actually I’ve notice lately that I’m becoming too verbally aggressive, I insult my younger siblings too much when they don’t hang their backpacks, pick up their dirty socks, wash their unclean dishes, or even when they don’t close the bathroom door after using it (one of my pet peeves). Anything nowadays can be a pet peeve for me. I don’t like it when I get home from school and see that I have step on chicken droppings and have to take off my shoes before I go in the house. I don’t like it either when our sink is full and basically like a mountain of dirty dishes. It’s funny how everyone is just waiting until there’s no more room there and just decide to wash them in the dishwasher. A constant thing my siblings do is leave their textbooks, papers, and pencils in the couch, kitchen table, or the floor. And of course feeding our chickens gets annoying. We all...

...Descriptive Essay—Student Example #1 Young Lions, Young Ladies Adolescents like to have a place they can call their own. In the fifties, teenagers hung out at the malt shop, sipping cherry cokes and rockin' with Elvis. Today, in a small town in Tennessee, they're jam skating to Montell Jordan. I was amazed to find a microcosm of life blooming on a 70 x 160-foot cement slab known as a roller skating rink. As I entered the building which housed the rink, the warm, nostalgic scent of popcorn hit that part of my brain where dusty, cobwebbed memories live, memories of my own adolescence. I made my way past a group of exuberant teenagers at the snack bar until I reached the skating rink. Skinny, hard benches, made for small butts, lined one wall. I took a seat and scanned the rink. My eyes paused to read a sign; white, block letters on a black background warned, "Skate at Your Own Risk." Two young men swaggered past me: confident, heads held high, eyes focused on their destination. I leaned over, looking down the long row of benches, curious to find out where they were going. Their confidence lagged a bit as they approached a large group of their peers, including several young ladies. All of them exhibited signs of discomfort as the girls crossed their arms over their nubile bodies and the boys tried hard not to stare. Abruptly, a silent signal sent the entire assembly to the benches. Pairs of dexterous hands laced up skates as quickly as possible, while other hands aided in...

...Descriptive vs. Narrative Essays Camille Hall English 121 Instructor James Welch March 17, 2013 Descriptive vs. Narrative Essays Descriptive essays are much more detailed and expressive than narrative essays and are more apt to hold the reader’s attention by ejecting more emotion. The narrative essay uses detail to advance the story, while the descriptive uses to detail to describe an unfamiliar subject. The ability to describe something convincingly is always important to both the writer and their audience. Both descriptive and narrative essays use detail but for different purposes. In this essay I will compare and contrast two essays; “I Want A Wife” and “Caged Bird” in order to give insight into each type of essay. The aim of a narrative essay is to describe a course of events from a subjective point, is usually told in chronological order, and is usually written in first person. Narrative essays are used to tell a story in a way so that the reader learns a lesson or gains insight, much of this is done through lots of detail about the subject that is being written about. The best narrative essays are those inducing images in the reader’s minds about what's happening by using concrete, specific verbs and nouns rather than a lot of adverbs and adjectives. To write a narrative essay you will need to tell a story (usually about something that has happened to you) or it could be fiction. The purpose is for your reader to learn a lesson or gain insight of...

...A Room Of One’s Own It has been eighty-three years since Virginia Woolf spoke at Newnham and Girton on the subject of women and fiction A Room of One’s Own, and though the context seems at times irrelevant to the world in which we live today, we must remember our roots in society. In reading the essay, A Room of One’s Own, we are able to better understand the turmoil and frustration of the female artist of the early twentieth century. Woolf’s writing is meant to be understood by all women, in A Room of One’s own the narrator says, “Call me Mary Beton, Mary Seton, Mary Carmichael or any other name you please—it is not a matter of importance”(Woolf 5). This quote is an example of Woolf’s attempt to universalize the words in the essay so that they could potentially apply to every woman who read them. I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Woolf’s use of the English language as an art from, and I believe this style was key to the essay’s success, and one of the reasons A Room of One’s Own is still in print today. Among other reasons we can still understand and find relevance in A Room of Ones Own, is the groundbreaking ideas in the essay. In her own way Virginia Woolf took on the establishment, and tried to give a voice to those who had none. In correspondence between Woolf and her friend G. Lowes Dickinson, she writes that her goal for this essay is to "encourage the young women--they seem to get fearfully depressed." (Woolf xiv) Throughout A Room of One’s Own, a few major ideas really were...
