...patterns, lack of social awareness and clumsiness. In the past and continuing present, typical treatments for ASD primarily focus on improvement and behavior modification. While medication is prescribed to control severe symptoms such as hyperactivity or seizures, there are no known cures for autism. (Therapeutic) There are only methods aimed towards lessening symptoms. However, research into a fairly new treatment called equine assisted therapy, is beginning to show signs of promise. Equine assisted therapy is a type of animal assisted therapy, a field of mental health that acknowledges the bond between horses and humans. It acknowledges the potential for mental healing that can occur when a relationship is formed between the two species, among other benefits as well (Therapeutic). It involves equine activities organized and facilitated by a licensed mental health professional, often with the assistance of a horse professional. These activities are most often completed on the ground and include such things as grooming, feeding, haltering and leading the horse. During the therapy session with the horse, the therapist and participant partake in talk psychotherapy, processing emotions, behaviors and repetitions. The fundamental objective for the child is to build skills including personal accountability, assertiveness, non-verbal communication, confidence, and self-control (ET) With more studies arising, there has been...

...Horseback riding and head injuries Introduction Horseback riding or just horse riding is the skill of driving, riding, vaulting or steeple-chasing with horses. Since time immemorial, horse riding (also referred to as equestrianism) has been an important aspect of human culture. In the last centuries, it was done mostly for utilitarian purposes such as work, warfare and transportation. In the present, horse riding is most commonly for recreational activities. Many people who like riding horses do it either for fun or for competition purposes (Kate 24). About 30 million people in America ride horses every year. However, there are approximately 2500 cases of riders who are below the age of 25 years being admitted to hospitals every year due to cases of horse riding injuries (Michael 201). A good number of these injuries are those related to head and brain. The risk of injuries in horseback riding is significantly greater than in bicycle riding. They occur because some of the activities like jumping are very risky since horses can be as heavy as 1500 pounds, move as fast as 30 miles per hour, and can stand as tall as 3 meters. Most of these injuries result when the horse falls off, or the horse rider is thrown forward and lands on his/her head or striking their heads on a nearby object like poles. Some of the factors which may increase the chances of falling and causing injuries to the riders are like slippery footing, bareback riding or green horse, and the height...

...It may seen odd but writers from Paper Masters have researched and found that Aristotle takes much of his notion on friendship from politics. Research papers on Aristotle's view of friendship looks at the philosophy of Aristotle and explicates how this philosophy boils down to politics and virtue in a man. Aristotle's treatment of friendship, including his definitions of friendship, is found within his work on ethics, the "Nicomachean Ethics." Friendship is included within his discussion of his general ethical theory. Aristotle bases his ethical theory on two constructs: Politics Virtue In most of the "Nicomachean Ethics," Aristotle discusses these two major subjects as separate subjects; or when they are discussed in relation to each other, they are discussed mostly with respect to what proportion of each is found in political activities or the conditions or state of a person's life. For instance, the more political an action is, the less virtuous it may be. And the more virtuous is an individual, the less he may be involved in the practical ends of politics. As mentioned earlier, friendship is a blending of politics and virtue; it can be looked at as an ideal blending. The Philosophy of Friendship According to Aristotle Friendship is included as a subject in term papers about Aristotle as a part of his general ethical theory because friendship has to do with the good which is the fundamental of the general ethical theory. As Aristotle begins the "Nicomachean Ethics...

...laughing outlandishly at a staff member's feeble joke), and other forms of exaggerated compliance. This behaviour is also reminiscent to the defiant stance that permeated the actions of Willis's lads. In the corridors, for example, there would be a foot-dragging walk, an over friendly 'hello,' or a sudden silence as the deputy passed. In the class room, Willis observed, there would be 'a continuous scraping of chairs, a bad-tempered ‘tut-tutting’ at the simplest request, and a continuous fidgeting about which explores every permutation of sitting or lying on a chair.' If someone sat on the radiator, it was because his trousers were 'wet from the rain.' If one of the lads drifted across the classroom he would be 'going to get some paper for written work. By engaging in these verbal and non-verbal forms of resistance the lads successfully created 'an aimless air of insubordination ready with spurious justification and impossible to nail down' (Willis, 1977). Willis's lads took immense pleasure in antagonizing school authority and maintained a strong sense of their collective identity in the process. In similar fashion, Limerick's young men resist mainstream norms by adopting a defiant and anti authoritarian stance. By engaging in various forms of law breaking activities young men can express their refusal to settle for a subordinate social status.

...Nile River is clearly the reason Egyptians were able to flourish. B. The process of diffusion of the chariot. The first chariot is synonymously dated with the origin of the wheel. 2000 BCE the chariot was created as a hunting vessel around the East Ural Mountains. (Plubin, 2013). Transmission of the chariot was driven by fighting and war. In 1800 BCE Syria used chariots as a weapon. Civilizations and cultures followed using chariots as weapons. In 1700 Hittites used the chariot as weapons in their kingdom and in 1650 BCE Egypt lost to the Hyksos army of chariots. Over the years the Middle East, China and Europe proclaimed the chariot as the main weapon of choice. Horses were bred to drive the chariots. The decline in chariots occurred around 500BC. The decline was due to the increase of horseback riding vs chariot use. C. .

Yet, by the beginning of the 21st century, this form of recreational activity, which essentially involves the observation an appreciation of wildlife and other aspects of the natural environment while minimizing the related ecological or sociocultural costs, had emerged as a major component of global tourism and an important focus for academics in the field of tourism studies. Many stakeholders, however, while enthusiastically embracing the concept of ecotourism as defined above, still do not really understand what it means: what activities qualify, who participates, where it occurs, what impact is acceptable, or how it can be optimally managed.

...taught jobs that pertain to taking care of or being around animals. As a Navajo child approaches the age at which he or she can start walking around, many of the child’s “friends” are related cousins and siblings. These siblings and cousins help out with raising the child or helping mom with duties that need to be done. Security and familiarity of Navajo communities is the reason for the closeness and helpfulness of many families. By a young Navajo child’s first birthday, the child has likely experienced their first horseback ride. This is because horseback riding is a profound skill to have as a Navajo for many of daily life is carried out by horseback riding. Around the ages of two, three, and four, Navajo children start to take on roles of responsibility. They are taught or learn how to do many chores to help out around the house and are even sometimes asked to help with sheep and herding of certain animals. In one research article, a mother says that she “taught her daughters to cook at five, and weave at ten years of age, although she wasn’t taught by her mother. 82 says children have to be taught today because they don’t mind their parents. In the old days of strict obedience they learned by imitation” (Bailey, 1940). This shows a bit of difference between two different styles of Navajo ways of life and exemplifies how different each family can be. By the time the child is four years old and up, they can expect to participate in herding activities. During the primary schooling...

Many of her childhood friends were members of the “old 6th Regiment.” Even though Clara was a part of multiple things, Clara is best known for organizing the American Red Cross. She worked as a hospital nurse during the Civil War. When the Civil War began she was determined to help the Federal troops.

She said she had complete ownership of Button and she was very happy about that. Clara's full name is Clarissa...

This is attributed to the following reasons: government support, international recognition and export demands, increasing domestic awareness and consumption of wine, development of local wine zones, regions and sub-regions and industry collaboration (Anderson, 2001; Beeston, 2002; Marsh and Shaw, 2000). Australia has become part of the ‘new world’ wine producers along with the United States, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina (Chang, Campbell and Sniekers, 2007).
