...just one month old.” The report goes on to say, “Prosecutors said one girl was just 2 years old when the abuse started in October 2002. The other girl was less than 8 months old. The sexual abuse of the boy allegedly began in December 2002, when he was just one month old.” According to The Idaho Statesman Newspaper in Boise, Idaho, “The parents are being charged with four counts of felonies. The first three include the connection with the allegations of sexual abuse by the boys, and the fourth charge addresses allowing a child to walk on dirty floors, in which resulted in infected cuts on the child’s feet.” This sounds more like a child neglect case rather than a connection of a child molestation case. I am not defending the couple in any way, but I feel there is no proof of them knowing about such acts going on between their children. Therefore, it will be hard to prosecute the couple on the molestation charges unless there is some type of evidence that is not being presented or considered until the trail. There was a young boy in Florida several years ago who was charged with the murder of his 6-year old cousin. He accidentally killed the young girl while rehearsing a wrestling move that he had seen on television. The young man was 13 at the time of the...

...FACTORS AFFECTING THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF FIRST YEAR STUDENTS IN PURPOSIVE COMMUNICATION OF QUEZON CITY POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY S.Y. 2015-2016 Chapter 1 The Problem and its Background Introduction Purposive Communication is built upon the firm foundation of logic and orderly reasoning. Purposive Communication learning progresses smoothly, step by step, from the simplest processes to the most complicated and advanced applications, each step along the way resting upon those topics which have been taken before. It is axiomatic that the understanding of the present and future lessons depends greatly on the kind of understanding of the present lesson. Within this context, Purposive Communication learning is basically like a language; if it is not learned properly from the beginning, it may become too difficult and abstract later to grasp and understand. In the study of Purposive Communication, the first topic of the study can be exceedingly important in the development of the student under an instructor. As such, concepts should be taught by the instructor and learned properly by the student with the aid of detailed explanations. This should include every available and relevant learning aid to condition the minds of the students into understanding the lesson well. Towards later part of the discussions examples are given applying the same concepts the theories to enable the students to relate their understanding of the lesson to the given examples as encountered...

...Bradelie ST Phar Enc 101 Mickey Mouse: mere Rabbit to Beloved Multi-million mouse. A century ago who would have believed a miniscule, rodent creature would be the icon of not just a multi-billion dollar company but also a symbol of innocence, youth, and, happiness. The icon of such is none other than Mickey Mouse, a character that has hundreds of different meanings to millions of different people. But the Mickey the public knows today is not the same cartoon mouse that audiences knew when he made his first public appearance in 1928. Mickey wasn’t always Walt Disney first prized creation, there first was an animated creature known as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit; A happy, upbeat fellow who often found himself in sticky situations. During his time under Disney Oswald was on of the first to show personality and humility through physical humor and frustration comedy. Sadly Oswald’s rambunctious personality soon came to an end when Walt Disney realized despite being the man behind the character, he actually didn’t own the rights to the animated rabbit, as he was property of the Universal Pictures. Eventually, Walt Disney broke his ties with Universal, left his staff behind and ventured onto new hopes. Mickey Mouse was born in Walt Disney's imagination early in 1928 on a train ride from New York to Los Angeles. Walt then decided to make the character modeled after the mouse he grew so fond of and this time that no one would be able to take away. Contrary to popular belief...

...1.) Three Properties of Culture * Symbolic – stands/means for something * Socially constructed – created by society * Embodied in form – person, objects, visual, audio, language, nonverbal gestures 2.) Four means of understanding the “popular” aspect of popular culture * Well-liked * Measured by success usually in ratings and sales * Well-known * Recognized globally * Example: Paris Hilton * Targets a general wide audience (“mass culture”) * Commercial media that is for general consumption * Directed to the common people * Belongs to the people * Invokes a individuals tradition and roots 3.) Cool hunters are people who go around looking for the next person that is considered cool and what will be the start of a next new trend. They research the underground trends of fashion-forward youth in order to appropriate them for mass consumption. The triumphant circularity of cool hunting refers to: * No coherent philosophy of cool * Can’t manufacture cool, only observe it * Must be cool to know cool * Look for people first and cool things later 4.) 5.) The functionalist approach argues that the explanation for popular culture is our obsession with “mass entertainment” in terms of their social uses or their function in generating solidarity among individuals within large and anonymous communities. It also emphasizes how the symbols, rituals, and practices surrounding its production and consumption...

...Lily I need to do something. I need somebody’s help. This situation confuses, baffles, and even worries me. I have never seen this dog before. I quickly run to my mom to assess the situation. It feels hard to believe that eleven years flew by since the first day that I saw my little fluffy bundle of joy. My little poodle attained the name of Lily. I never imagined I would become as close to Lily as I did. One day, she casually walked into my backyard. I did not have a clue what to do, but eventually I carefully approached her. She was the most polite dog I have ever met. We played all day, and soon became best friends. But, of course we had to find her rightful owners. In a short time, we found the owners and returned her home. However, Lily never ceased to miss a day of showing up at my door. Before long, the owners offered us to keep her. Lily apparently did not want to be with these owners. Obviously we accepted this offer, and this became the happiest day of my life. On the other hand, I knew that good things come to an end, and situations do not end the way we would like. Overcoming a loss is extremely difficult, but I realized that experiencing a death has made me a stronger person and who I am today. Now eleven years have past since the day Lily became mine, and I can still remember that day like it happened yesterday. Lily was an amazing dog and I would not have traded her for anything. I loved her will all of my heart. Unfortunately, during the...

...Personal Model of Helping Andra Bachan BSHS 312 July3, 2011 Lonnie McCullough Personal Model of Helping This paper will discuss my personal model of helping that I have developed so far in my educational career so far. This paper will cover how and why I have formed this viewpoint, my view of helping, the relationship between the client and participant, techniques or approaches to change, the kinds of problems that can be addressed with my model, and multicultural issues. The limitations and strengths of the model and there populations this model can help will also be addressed in this paper. The personal model of helping that I have developed involves various theories. My model of helping involves the Adlerian theory, existential theory, person-centered theory, gestalt theory, reality therapy, cognitive behavior theory, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and rational-emotive theory. Adlerian theory includes the importance of birth order, takes into consideration the individual’s life style, their social interest, and their personality as it pertains to inferiority and superiority. The goal of the Adlerian theory is to increase social interest, change negative behaviors that are self-destructive, and help increase problem solving skills. In therapy sessions the family dynamics are observed. Often times the family unit assigns the roles the individual plays within the family based on birth order. The eldest child may have most of the responsibility placed on them because...

...individual views personal responsibility differently. I believe that personal responsibility is the ability of each individual to maturely respond to the various challenges and circumstances of life. The challenges I face in my life are work, school and my personal life. Without personal responsibility I would not be able to balance between them. While not everyone believe you need to have personal responsibility to succeed, I believe that having personal responsibility is the key to success in college and in life because it is our capability to handle all of life’s challenges and accepting responsibility for our actions. Life brings each one of us so many challenges and it is hard to balance all of them together without getting stressed. Personal responsibility is needed in order to balance all of these challenges. I never thought I would be capable of working fulltime and going to school but I took action by putting my personal responsibility to use. It was hard for me to accept responsibility at first because I have never been a responsible person but I realized without it college success would be impossible. Failure to accept responsibility for the things in my life that made me unhappy would have led to me making excuses with no progress toward the goals in my life. I decided that I was in charge of my life and I was going to accept the added challenge of going to college into my life. In order to succeed in college I will need to accomplish goals and gain time management skills...

...House I realized as I was watching this that there are a lot of people that need help from others. It may not be there fault. Specifically in this film it shows the woman coming from other countries trying to make a better life for their families. As they did this they are not stuck her in the United States without a job and they also did not have anywhere to stay. The thing that stood out to me the most was that no one was helping these woman and they were actually mad that they were immigrating into the states. The thing I learned about this movie is that there is always someone in need of some help. It does not have to be people immigrating from another country and not being able to find a job but there are people who cannot afford things such as food and shelter for their children and they need help. Most of them do not ask for help I have come to realize. In the film I kept thinking about that. They did not ask for help because they felt like no one was going to help them or they just felt ashamed. Some things I have insights about in this case is that people should try to help others if they see that they need help because those people are not going to ask for help. They feel to ashamed. I can apply this by trying my hardest in my everyday life to help others. It does not have to be in a very large scale right now because I don’t have a big voice to be heard right now because I am just a college student. I can make a difference in someone’s life though. I can help someone...

...four aspects of diversity that have most affected my personal identity are race, age, gender, and physical ability. Gender is one of the most easily of observed areas of cultural diversity. As a woman, especially one living in the south, I am expected to look and act a certain way. I am to be presentable at all times. There are expectation in the way I speak but act as well. The way I am supposed to dress is also defined by our culture. There are certain jobs that I am expected to have and others I am not. The thing with culture is it not only is the visible images we are to portray there are invisible ones as well. Others assume that because I am a woman I am less than a man. There are certain ways I am expected to think as well. What people fail to realize is that I am a very strong willed individual. I am quite educated. I may live in the south now, but I was born and raised in the mid-west. I have held jobs that a typical woman is not expected to have. All of these things have shaped me into the person I am. Being a woman comes with many expectations placed on us by our culture, but visible and invisible. Physical ability is another area of cultural diversity that is many times overlooked when going through our day to day lives. When I tell someone that...

...In the beginning, when I started here I did well more than I expected because there were more expectations here for moving on into a career and in life, that is quite motivating to push myself to be able to work harder, however, some of my choices did not help me work smarter. It seems strange because most people would try to motivate themselves to be a better student after receiving praise for doing well academically, but what I did not like was that I didn’t even think carefully about how many classes can I take also what can I get help with since there are so many resources there yet I saw an unhealthy pattern throughout my semesters here. Never did I know I was anxious some days it is manageable and other days my anxiety felt like an emotional explosion, but when my feelings of feeling alone and how no one cares about me got out of hand, it was to the point where I did not want to go classes anymore,it felt like a routine that was really boring me, so I ended up getting help and seeking a counselor but it didn’t look like she could help me here since she isn’t a Christian counselor and I needed that connection to be able to get over my anxiety, I reached out to a Christian counselor instead. Knowing that my anxiety is an issue, I met with my doctor and she helped me realize that yes, my concern is real and...

...personality spectrum my biggest dimension was the giver personality. I think that I need to learn how to put other peoples needs aside so that I can focus on my school work more. I love to help others and will always put others before myself, but when going to school in a distance learning environment that will sometimes get in the way, it is easy to put off school work for other people. I need to designate time away from my husband and children so that I can concentrate on the task at hand in my schooling. That does not mean that I need to neglect my family, I just need to also make time for myself. When doing research on the internet I need to be very careful. It is easy to get into websites that are not ones that I should be using for education research. It is difficult because there are websites like Wikipedia that look like they are credible and good for research purposes, but in fact they are not. Sites like wiki are able to be changed by anyone, allowing people to go in and change information, making it false, or adding information that is not correct in with what is. A good way to know if I am on a good website is if it is .edu, .gov, or .org. I need to make sure I am doing lots of research on any topic to make sure that I have all the facts about that topic correct. The University of Phoenix has a lot of good resources to use for research. They have a University Library that is very helpful when doing research. I can choose different databases to use that will work better...
