...Street children are found in many parts of the Philippines. This interview was done specifically in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental. Street children can be seen in the Quezon park of this city. The ones interviewed are aged 7 and above. They are loitering in the park and on the street. They ask anyone that passes by for “Pinaskohan” especially now, since it’s already Christmas season. They tend to follow the person they asked for “Pinaskohan” until they either get something from that person or they find another person to beg for money. They are mostly seen as beggars on the street. When I asked them where they live, they would say anywhere or point to some place where they would spend the night. As to their answer, I can tell that they don’t have a permanent place of residence and would stay wherever they seem to go. Looking at them at such a young age, I wondered where their parents might be so I asked them where their parents are. They pointed to their mom, who was carrying a child and at the same time begging for food to eat. I then asked them where their father was. They simply replied my question with an “I don’t know.” or an “I don’t have one.” It seems that they were left behind and thus, their mom as a single mother. I also asked them how regularly do they eat and where do they get food to eat. They said that they dig in the trash bags, trash bins, or asks food from the people around. They also told me that it’s not everyday that that they can grab a bite. I can tell...

...stores: 1. sensory store 2. short-term store 3. long-term storeAccording to the theory information from the environment is initially received by the sensory stores. (There is a sensory store for each sense.) Some information in the sensory stores is attended to and processed further by the short-term store. In turn some information processed in the short-term store is transferred to the long-term store through rehearsal or verbally repeating it. The more something is rehearsed the stronger the memory trace in the long-term memory. The main emphasis of this model is on the structure of memory on rehearsal | A02Case studies support to the multi-store modelGlanzer and Cunitz found that when rehearsal is prevented, the recency effect disappears.There is evidence that encoding is different in short term and long-term memory.

...Assessing the Effects of Streetism on the Livelihood of Street Children: A Case Study of Kumasi (in Ghana). AWATEY, Samuel* Development Planning Officer, Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, Ghana. * E-mail of the corresponding author: profdealfas@yahoo.com Abstract This study employed the livelihood approach to examine the effects of streetism on the livelihoods of children who live and make their living on the streets of Kumasi. The study examines the causative factors that push children on to the streets, their encounters and experiences in their attempts to cope with street life. The study used both quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data was collected from 50 street children in eight areas in Kumasi where the street children are predominant. The study identified that children who live on the street adopt a range of survival strategies, both legal and/or illegal, to confront the challenges of urban street life. The study further identified that the plight of children arises not so much out of negative experiences they have gone through such as child abuse or child neglect but broadly to the absence of and inadequate programmes resulting from the low-priority placed on issues related to child welfare in the country generally. These challenge human right and underpin injustice in the country. The problems street children face can be corrected overtime through working with the affected children directly and by addressing the symptoms indirectly. Promotion...

...Shreeti Sigdel Hamilton AP English III/5th 20 September 2013 The American Dream For generations, the American dream has floated around society in different forms. In the 19th century, it was viewed as an independent and cowboy-worthy lifestyle, whereas in the early 20th century, it corresponded to nationalism and unity. In today’s society, young generations often fantasize the lavish lifestyle of Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake while declaring it their American dream. The origin of the term dates back to 1931, where it was first coined in James Truslow Adams’ The Epic of America. Adams claims that the egalitarian nature of this dream began to take shape when the early Puritan colonists settled in America with the hopes of living in freedom from governmental persecution. Like the Puritans, millions of immigrants leave their country every year with the hopes of building a better life. Because of different generations’ perspective and individual values, it is difficult to assign a certain definition to the American dream. For example, to some people, the dream is often associated with success, while to others, it corresponds to future family stability. Whatever the version may be, America’s countless prospects guarantee every American the opportunity to achieve their dream through hard work and dedication. While every American has heard the phrase, “American Dream” at least once in their lifetime, every non-American has heard it at least a 100 times. The opportunity to live...

...The Broken Windows Research Paper Graffiti on walls, trash in the sidewalks, loitering in the corner, drunks roaming in the streets and prostitutes attracting customers on the same sidewalks children walk to school on. From a certain perspective, it is viewed as minor crime something the community shouldn’t worry about. Sooner or later though that graffiti attracts more territorial vandals fighting for dominance over the streets, probably the worst trash there is. The worst thing that will occur however is still to come, the community will no longer feel at home and feel more and more distant, the city gives an image that no one cares,(community policing, pg. 64) and the citizens will start feeling the same and feel as if everything bad can get tolerated, crime rates go up and morale goes down. However there is something that can be done, a phenomenon that will give end to this non sense and incivilities; The Broken Windows theory. The Broken Windows theory introduced by social scientist James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling states that in order to maintain control of crime in the community. Law enforcement should enforce small crimes (“petty”) in order to prevent bigger crimes from happening. Law enforcement prevents small crimes by emphasizing aggressive enforcement, sweeps, arrests, tickets, and using tactics such as directed patrol and selective enforcement. One in which you deter the crime problem by heavy policing which is usually more expensive to a department. The...

...Intergenerational Interview Report “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”- Alan Watts Throughout history; more specifically throughout different generations, we as human beings have been subject to a certain amount of change within our society. As time goes by change is almost inevitable among a nation. Change has occurred throughout history due to specific events that have a ripple effect upon individuals. Whether the change is a result of advancing technology, social climate, or foreign influence there is little chance of preventing the effect it will have on society. It is difficult to argue that we have not seen a paradigm shift in social attitudes from generation to generation, and one could easily point to this the being the reason that we as a society have progressed so quickly over the last 50 years. Until conducting these interviews I was not aware of the immense amount of progress, and in some cases amount of deterioration, that we as a society have caused. It is obvious in the way that human beings have treated things like environmental sustainability, civic engagement and social justice over this time and this paper will be examining how these ideas have are different to generation. While interviewing my grandfather I was able to gather lots of information about not just the time he lived in, but also some information about himself that I had not previously known. He started off the interview by telling...

...1. Introduction With the development of urbanization, immigrants become one of the special and important parts of metropolises. The issue of their integration into local society has become a new topic for many researchers. Especially in China, with the thirty years of reform and open relations, a huge number of domestic immigrants have migrated into the big urban areas. They are facing many obstacles in their struggle to make a position in a new environment. Is there anything that the urban planners and designers can do to help them blend into the society and give them a sense of belonging and identity? This research will make efforts to address this question and discuss the relation between immigrants and urban environments, particularly the public open spaces by a series of research methodologies. Some literatures will be reviewed and discussed to give a general understanding of the relation between urbanisation and immigrants and the effects of public open space. Then, in order to narrow the research scope, the investigation of immigrants’ social integration condition will be conducted in Guangzhou which is one of the most developed metropolises in China with large amounts of domestic immigrants. Moreover, the white-collar immigrants were chosen as the main research target group. In general, “white-collar” refers to a salaried professional or an educated worker who performs semi-professional office, administrative, and sales coordination tasks, as opposed to a blue-collar...

...that she could remember being very scared because of the cartel involvement in the area where they lived and were running from. She has 5 brothers and sisters and her parents that came over the border. These cartel members would harass and try to force her father to work for them and do whatever they wanted. Her father wanted nothing to do with any involvement with them. He told his family that they were leaving because he would never be one of them or allow his children to be forced into the cartel world. She remembers late one night into early morning, getting on horses and travelling over the border. Her mother was pregnant at the time with her youngest brother and they were willing to die then to stay another day. Can you imagine how they must have felt? Wondering if someone was going to catch them and either kill them or put them in jail? It must have been terrifying for all of them. They made it here though safely but the struggle to attain citizenship has become almost impossible. They lived on the streets and in shelters. She said her dad would get up and go stand on the corner with a sign from 5am until 11pm every day and night for his family.
