...Bartley Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Research Paper Rough Draft Sinclair Community College Outline Introduction: My chosen social welfare policy is Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. I chose this policy because it is a policy that I agree we should have and I feel helps the needy families out a lot. Everyone at some point in their life will need some sort of assistance. TANF is a great option for people who might not be very poor but are struggling temporarily. TANF also is for families who are below the poverty line and who are suffering greatly. TANF is a federally funded grant program that allows states to administer and create their own assistance programs for families in need. The policy I chose corresponds to the practicum placement I am at, which is Boys and Girls Club of Dayton. Boys and Girls Club is an after school program for kids in Dayton to have a safe place to grown and learn. They also have ongoing relationships with caring professionals, and also get to experience life-enhancing programs and character developing experiences. The children at boys and girls club are less fortunate than say kids in Centerville schools, so this is a great place for them to come and get homework done, and play with friends. I believe my policy corresponds with my practicum because, a lot of the children and families I see look as though they have some sort of assistance. For some of the parents of children from Boys and Girls Club, TANF is probably temporary, but...

...Previous research concerning peer aggression has been conducted under the assumption that women rarely display aggression; therefore, aggressive behavior has historically been viewed as a male phenomenon (Björkqvist, 1994). Recently, many researchers have challenged the gender bias in the existence of aggressive behaviors and have broadened the definition of aggression. Björkqvist's research suggests sex differences exist in the quality of the aggression, but not the quantity. According to Paquette and Underwood (1999), an adolescent's expression of anger and contempt for peers can sometimes be expressed through physical aggression, manipulation, exclusion, and/or gossip. This broader definition allows for a more complete understanding of the social or relational aggression, which is typically associated with females. Relational aggression is more verbal than physical and very prevalent in today's society. Gender differences in the prevalence and the form of aggressive behavior used could be explained by the different social roles of females and males. This paper will discuss the different types of aggression and how each type is used within the female and male peer groups. Aggression has been defined as having five central features: Intention to harm, unprovoked, happens repeatedly, victim perceives the bully as having power, and occurring in small groups. There are two distinct forms of aggression within this definition, overt (physical) and relational (verbal)...

...includes impairments in social interaction and developmental language and communication skills combined with rigid, repetitive behaviors” (WebMD). Autism spectrum disorder or ASD for short; is how the doctors are recognizing any child or adult that falls within the Autism category. Clearly we have a growing problem with ASD, it is estimated that “1 out of every 88 children” will be given a diagnosis of autism (Jaslow, 2014). Why instead of decreasing, are autism cases rising? Some say it due to the ways that doctors are able to diagnose autism, but I think there is a different cause. There is one thing that most children have in common and that is the immunizations that are given to most children from birth. Doctors have found that ASD affect boys more that girls and they are “almost five times more likely” to be diagnosed with some form of ASD then girls (Jaslow, 2014). There is enough evidence at present to say that the rise in autism cases can be linked to immunizations. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism can be defined by “a group of complex disorders of the brain development” and “has roots in very early brain development” (Autism Speaks, 2015). Children typically show some signs of autism between 2 to 3 years old. Some of the most common characteristics that most ASD patients display would include: difficulties in social environments, a difficulty in verbalizing there wants or needs. Children that have been diagnosed with ASD tend to need repetitive actions. These...

...When it comes to poverty, I feel each year more and more families are in crisis and in need. However I also feel some people are getting government funding help who, in reality, do not need it. I am not saying everyone who is receiving help does not actually need it, but there are people out there who if they put in more effort, they wouldn’t have to depend on government assisted help nor would be struggling day to day. I have not been in a situation where I myself needed help, however I do know some people who are truly needed help and received yet, as well as others who honestly did not need the help but did not want to work hard. I am hoping my paper shows both the good and bad of today’s situation with people struggling, and hopefully some readers will have changed opinions on this whether it be good or bad. My Paper is written in APA format. Ending Poverty One Meal at a Time After reading the article “On the Edge of Poverty” by Sheryl Gay Stolberg[->0], it’s realized that it was written from a point of view that shows the many down falls of a situation where a SNAP card is needed yet doesn’t point much at improving it. In many ways it supports the food stamp system, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as it is currently laid out. Stolberg starts off by phrasing Dustin Rigsby from Tennessee. She goes on to lay out that he is a struggling mechanic who reluctantly accepts food stamps as a way to feed his family of three. It goes on to say that while...

...why women are less seen in engineering and also to create a solution to how we can motivate women to join the science field Introduction I came from a country far along the Atlantic and the Pacific ocean. I was a child born in the midst of boys who wanted to be involved in everything. As time went on, I began to fall for the love of wanting to build things and experiment with many materials. Upon arriving in the United States, I fell in love with computers. I later made up my mind to be a computer engineer. With such dreams of mine, I got a call on this particular day from a friend in Nigeria. We talked and he later asked me what I wanted to do with my life, joyfully I told him I wanted to be a computer engineer. I felt this sudden silence and shock on the phone, he made a comment to me, a comment that changed who i am today, he said “But you are a woman, Engineering is a man work, how will you do that?”. This later caused me to research more about women in engineering, and to my amusement, women are less found in engineering. Today I will tell you the two reason why this issue is occuring and the steps we can all take to end such issue. Lack of women in the engineering field can be because women were often assigned jobs sorting papers, copying, and typing—tasks they felt did not value or cultivate their skills. Lack of confidence also causes women to feel unwanted in the engineering field....

...Sociological Perspective Paper: Conflict Perspective Team "B' SOC/101- Introduction to Sociology October 13, 2014 Angela Rudibaugh Sociological Perspective Paper: Conflict Perspective Recently I viewed a video named Three Cups of Tea. The video highlighted the works of Nobel Peace Prize nominee Greg Morrison’s work through bringing educational institution to girls across the world. The video has brought up points pertaining to conflict perspective theory of sociology covering two classes looking out for their own interest. The struggle between the two groups clearly shows a dominant and a submissive side. In the video men are portrayed as the dominant group, while women are the submissive group. This is made valid by Morrison’s comments throughout the video. The video Three cups of Tea is of a short interview of a man named Greg Morrison and his young daughter that discusses his humanitarian work. Morrison has built 78 schools for young girls in third world countries such as Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three cups of Tea is a book that is dedicated to helping spread his message; books not bombs. Morrison aims to educate young girls with the hope that they will grow up to make education a priority for their own children (NBC News Archives, 2010). The conflict perspective theory of sociology was developed by Karl Marx. In this theory “social injustice and uneven destitution of wealth give rise to criminological conditions.” (Conflict Perspective, 2011, para. 1). This...

...by definition, is ‘the expulsion or attempted expulsion of an evil spirit from a person or place’ (Dictionary.com). For this research paper, I have chosen to research exorcism and the beliefs, history and practices that go along with it. This is a topic that has always interested and been fascinating to me. There have been numerous movies, documentaries, and stories written and performed relating to exorcism- both claiming to be true and fictional- and it was a topic I was deeply curious to learn more about. This paper will explore the history and beliefs of exorcism and will also explore the role of the exorcist, which is the person who is intended to rid the affected of their demon(s) (Toner). History Exorcism, by definition and history is a strictly religious act or rite. It has strongly been related to the Catholic Church and Christian ceremonies and rituals. However, since there is the matter of demons and non-living beings involved, many consider exorcism to be a very superstitious belief as well and not necessarily just a religious one. In addition, there is history of exorcism present in Jewish tradition, ethnic religion and in the New Testament. Many believed (and still believe) that there was magic and superstition present during early exorcisms; however, this was not the case in the early years of exorcisms. According to a religious research article by Patrick Toner, “As is clear from testimonies referred to, no magical or superstitious means were employed, but in...

Arnold’s life before he entered the war Benedict Arnold was born on January 14, 1741 in Norwich, Connecticut. Arnold's father was Benedict Arnold III and his mother was Hannah Waterman King, a widow, before her marriage to Benedict Arnold’s father. Arnold had two brothers and three sisters as well. The family lived well for a while, so they lived in peace. However, after some time, the family ran into some money problems due to some poor business deals. Arnold’s father then became a regular at the tavern and unstable, so Arnold attended school at Canterbury....
