...Cultural Comparison Between China and France Introduction From my first step in france 3 months ago, the first thing I could say is that France is facinating and fancy me.

...biggest effects on teens having sex. Girls buy and dress in the most expensive brands to fit in. Some of them will do anything to me accepted in the “cool” crowd including; having sex at a young age. With teens lack of eduction, some teens use no protection which leads to them becoming pregnant. Also with the popularity of partying and drinking, some girls do not even realize what is happening before it is to late. Younger teens just do not understand the significance in having sex. Why is everyone so concerned with teens becoming pregnant though? The psychological affects on teens when they become pregnant has such a negative impact on their lives. They start feeling so many different types of emotions such as; fear, frustration, confusion, resentment, and most of all depression. Their depression levels shoot up. Not only are the mental effects strong, but so are the physical effects. Becoming pregnant as a teen increases the chance of Anemia, Cervical Cancer, Miscarriage, and pregnancy induced hypertension. Often being a teen mom, you receive a lower level of eduction, earn less money, social isolation, and limited job opportunities. But not only does becoming pregnant effect the teen mom, it effects the child being born. Being born into a “teen” family increases the rate for the baby itself to become a teen parent. It also puts the child at risk for having behavioral problems later on in life. There are also medical effects on the child such as; Fetal distress, SIDS (sudden...

...During wars, everyone is affected, but mainly children are affected. Children have to move their location. There will be limited resources for children. Also children's education will be affected. Children are affected more by dramatizing events. Children might have to move location. One of the main reasons children would have to move is because they could live near where the war is taking place. Also family could play apart in the war. Another point is children could end up being separated from their family. This can change how the child looks at things. Children would also have limited resources. The water could become contaminated or there is no water around. The food that farmers grow and factories produce would go to soldiers to...

...training or choosing a traditional path of colleges and universities to further one's educational goals and prepare them to enter the job market, one must evaluate the pros and cons for the situation. There are several variables that influence one's decision on what eduction program is best. Typically vocational programs are more affordable, and offer accelerated classes, and some even offer job placement opportunities after completion. However by attending these schools, there are some negative aspects such as the rarity to transfer any credits to an accredited school, the limitation of only a narrow skill set, and narrowing opportunities for career advancement. The first positive aspect of vocational training is the cost. The lower price to attend such a program maybe the best, if not the only option for people who need to acquire job training. Another positive is the shorter lengths of classes make it an attractive option to many people who do not want to commit to a four year degree. Some vocational training programs are only a few months long allowing quick completion and allowing graduates to search for jobs quickly. The flexibility of some of these programs also appeal to people that need to schedule around family and current employment. One negative aspect of vocational training or specialized schools is that it may hinder any kind of new job opportunities, promotions into better positions, or into any kind of management role. It may also stunt wage increases due to...

...Throughout case studies on schools in different areas and of different income basis it has been shown that different types of eduction is offered. To support my personal view i will be refering to "Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work". Before reading Anyons essay i noticed the difference of teaching and learning of the different social classes. After graduating from middle school and starting high school i was exposed to many of the different social classes and the difference of the teachings. Its amazing how obvious it is that schools are placed in different social groups based on family income or different areas, and how the students are suffering from it. I've observed that in lower class schools, or schools that are filled with majority of children of parent s with blue- collar jobs are usually the students who are offered poorer education from the available teachers. Anyon states "The teachers rarely explain the work that is being assigned, how it might connect to other assignments, or wht the idea is that lies behind the procedure or gives it coherence and perhaps meaning or significance". When a student moves on to the next level of education this is clearly shown in their performance. It only damages the cilds potential because they are affected by the ineffective communication from the teachers, which develops a slower learning process. The children only have one objective in mind, which is completing the assignment. With little to no explanation behind it...

After being discharged medically from the Navy I couldn't work so I utilized my time by volunteering at different organizations, one in particular being the Lupus Foundation of America. I was influential in the manifestation of the first ever Walk to End Lupus in Newport News, VA. I also took it upon myself, with the aid of my physician to begin a military support group which encompasses not just Veterans but Active Duty, hospitalized patients, and their family members diagnosed with Lupus just so they know they are not alone. I visit others going through what I've been through in the hospital and share my inspiration. That support group has been my biggest personal accomplishment that I would be inclined to share with Alpha Gamma Xi Sorority.

...civil rights in the 1960s or the workforce diversity in the 1990s with woman and different ethnic groups becoming leaders and executives. According to the text, diversity is defined “as the ways in which people differ that may affect their organizational experience in terms of performance, motivation, communication, and inclusion” (Harvey, 2009, p. 1). Dimensions of diversity include components related to a person's race, gender, ethnic background, religious/spiritual dogmas, lifestyle, sexual orientation, age, abilities, and appearance (Schaefer, 2012). These are known as primary dimensions. Secondary dimensions are considered less central to someone’s social identity. Some examples are: Geographic location, military/work experience, family status, income, education, communication and work styles, and first language/education. 2. With what ethnic, cultural, or other groups do you identify? Describe what members of your social circle have in common. I am associated with many diverse groups of various backgrounds. Culturally and ethnically, I identify with Latino/Hispanic, African American, Caucasian/Anglo and Asian. Being of an “All-American” Caucasian background I am automatically stereotyped as a typical white male, good credit, clean cut, no style, cannot dance or play basketball white boy. These are the prejudices I have experienced. Since living in Yuma, I have been exposed to the Latino culture to include their religion, food, language, and cultural pride...

...American immigration history can be viewed in four different views, the colonial period, the mid-nineteenth century, the turn of the twentieth century, and post-1965. Each period brought distinct national groups, races and ethnicities to the United States. During the seventeenth century, approximately 175,000 Englishmen migrated to Colonial America. Over half of all European immigrants to Colonial America during the 17th and 18th centuries arrived. The mid-nineteenth century saw mainly an influx from northern Europe; the early twentieth-century mainly from Southern and Eastern Europe; post-1965 mostly from Latin America and Asia. Immigrants started arriving at Ellis Island 1902 Historians estimate that fewer than one million immigrants—perhaps as few as 400,000—crossed the Atlantic during the 17th and 18th centuries. The 1790 Act. limited naturalization to "free white persons"; it was expanded to include blacks in the 1860s and Asians in the 1950s. In the early years of the United States, immigration was fewer than 8,000 people a year, including French refugees from the slave revolt in Haiti. After 1820, immigration gradually increased. From 1836 to 1914, over 30 million Europeans migrated to the United States. The death rate on these transatlantic voyages was high, during which one in seven travelers died. In 1875, the nation passed its first immigration law. European immigration was in 1907, when 1,285,349 persons entered the country. By 1910, 13.5 million immigrants were...

...Introduction Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition that can affect individuals well into their adolescents. It occurs when a child is well above the normal weight for his or her age and height. Childhood obesity is particularly troubling because the extra pounds often start children on the path to health problems that were once confined to adults, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Childhood obesity can also lead to psychological conditions such as poor self-esteem and depression. In 2007, an estimated 22 million children under the age of 5 years old were overweight throughout the world, leading us to conclude that this is a global problem. Out of this figure, more than 75% of overweight and obese children live in low or middle income countries. These children will most likely continue to lead an unhealthy life. In addition, they are more likely to suffer from non-communicable ailments such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease at a very young age. At the national level, childhood obesity is increasingly prevalent. Data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys shows that the prevalence of obesity has increased for children in all age categoris. Below is a chart depicting the tested age groups along with the increase in obesity rates. Statistics also show that 17% of all children and adolescents are either overweight or obese.
