...Should students be allowed to have cell phones in elementary and high schools? Personally, I believe students should be allowed to have cell phones in elementary and high schools. However, I don’t believe students should be allowed to use them during school hours. It is very useful for a student to have their phone after school when walking home just in case of an emergency. There are plenty of kids I know that get scared to walk home but have no choice. There are also a few kids I know that go to a friend’s house without asking. Being scared to walk home seems strange maybe, but, I know what this feels like. Being on the phone with my mom or friend helped me deal with my fear and to overcome it. It is also very nice to have a phone on you when you are getting a ride with a friend. This is because you can call your parent and let them know to save their gas. It’s a win win situation at that point. If it were allowed for elementary and high school kids to have their phones, I believe there would be less abduction’s that end badly. The reason I believe this is because with the new GPS apps on most phones these days, parents can track their child as long as the child has their phone on them. My older sister has wondered off without my mom’s permission and because of the AT&T family map GPS; she was able to track her down. Some abduction’s I have heard of happened at a bus stop or while a child was walking home from school. Having a phone on them could have made it possible to...

When a person grows up, you will have a body odor. You cannot do away with body odors, so use the Home-Made Perfume. Perfume making is probably one of the oldest forms of chemistry. Perfume makers soon realized that, by adding other ingredients to a plant’s essential oils, not only could less oil be used, but the essential oil’s scent would last longer. In investigatory project, the researchers choose the Home-Made Perfume because nowadays, perfume has different chemicals that we don’t know if it is harmful or dangerous to our health. Home-made perfume is one of the best perfume because it uses natural resources that can be found easily in our environment or surroundings.

A famous philosopher once said the worlds in utopia referring to the world being perfect and if it didn’t turn out to be this way then there wouldn’t be any way it could have turned out to be. The advantageous methods of technology towards me in our daily life in regards with education have had a massive growth and an enormous impact on our daily lives. Some of the research questions that would come to mind would be: What the major influences technological advanced education had upon us or has the technological advanced education benefited students and teachers? The key finding about my issue from the sources I found as I explored my topic were very interesting. As I explored I realized that advancement in education makes the life easier for all education fields and it speed up the long process such as projects/assignments.

... With technology getting better and better throughout the years, society’s chosen form of communication changes. From writing letters, to making phone calls and emails, Texting is today’s number one way of communication between young adults. 97 percent of young adults send text messages every day (Knight 1). Texting became popular when these young adults were teenagers, in 2000. It is also the best way to communicate with today’s teenagers, with 63 percent of teens sending messages every day (Ngak 1). While this form of communication may be relatively new, it is here to stay. The question is, what is the affect of texting on teens? Although people may believe that texting is detrimental to teenagers’ literacy rates in terms of spelling abilities due to the use of “textisms” or texting abbreviations, it actually has a positive effect. Texting is beneficial to teenagers because it affects teen literacy in a constructive way, by improving spelling and reading skills and giving teachers a tool to use in the classroom, while also evolving the English language. The first text message was sent in 1992. The next year, in 1993, Nokia created the first phone with texting capabilities. It only worked if the recipient of the text had the same cellular plan as the sender. Finally, in 1999, texting people on other networks was finally allowed and it began to take off. The standard texting plan at the time was 35 texts per month. 2002 was when texting really took off, with 250 billion texts...

These types of behaviors are repeated over time which includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.

Co-Founder and current Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs has been an innovator and strong leader in the direction of the company. A mutual fund manager should invest in Apple due to the track record Apple and Jobs has demonstrated. The following SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis of Apple will illustrate where the company has been and where it is going. Apple has set high standards for their products, which continues to challenge its competitors. History Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak on April 1, 1976, both college dropouts, started Apple Computers. Jobs was a 26-year-old working at Atari and Wozniak was 21. Their partnership began several years earlier when Wozniak, a talented, self-taught electronics engineer, began building boxes that allowed him to make free long-distance phone calls. Several hundred boxers were sold and in 1976 Wozniak was working on another box--the Apple I computer, without keyboard or power supply--for a computer hobbyist club (Finkle & Mallin, 2008). Their original partnership began years earlier when they were designing a box to that could make free long distance phone calls.

...Additionally, the incidence of obesity among adolescent children, aged 12-19 years, grew from 5% to 18% over the same time period” (CDC, 2011). Coincidentally, over the past 30 years, more parents are working, not only every day, but longer hours, and in many cases both parents are working. Is the rat race killing our kids? There is an epidemic of parents who are too tired or lazy to engage their children, and have begun relying on the T.V., computers, or video games to occupy and entertain them. Also, the evolution of new technology has children involved with a screen of some sort, whether it’s a T.V., video game, cell phone, computer, etc, hence researchers have coined the term, “screen time.” This behavior of instant gratification has created an environment of sedentary behavior, as well as fostering a lack of personal interaction with others. The increase in screen time has become a normal way for parents to occupy their children while they are busy doing tasks of their own or resting after a long day at work. This paper will show that as a society, everyone should be proactive, take responsibility, and offer support and encouragement to promote appropriate physical activity in children. Children must be shown that there are more things to do outside and with others, that there isn’t such a need to be focused on a screen, but instead become interactive with others face to face. From a health perspective it has been shown that “Poor fitness in young adults is associated with...

...Cyberbullying: What School Administrators (and Parents) Can Do ANDREW V. BEALE and KIMBERLY R. HALL Abstract: Technology has transformed the lives of adolescents, including the ways they bully one another. Variously referred to as electronic bullying, online bullying, or cyberbullying, this new method of bullying involves the use of e-mail, instant messaging, Web sites, voting booths, and chat or bash rooms to deliberately pick on and torment others. To combat cyberbullying, educators need to better understand the nature of it and be aware of actions that they can undertake to prevent cyberbullying in the schools. Keywords: combating cyberbullying, electronic bullying, online bullying n recent years, considerable emphasis has been placed on implementing bullying prevention programs in public schools (Colvin et al. 1998; Hernandez and Seem 2004; Pellegrini and Bartini 2000). Researchers and administrators have developed programs, written articles, delivered workshops, and given speeches focusing on the goal and importance of eliminating bullying behavior in schools. The difficulty, however, is that despite the major emphasis on prevention of bullying in schools, the problem persists. According to the results of the first national survey on school bullying, 74 percent of eight- to eleven-year-old students reported that bullying and teasing occurred at their schools (Nansel et al. 2001). To make matters worse, technology has escalated bullying to a new and particularly insidious...

...Binalfew Mecuriaw EN 102 Prof. Nuredinoski 5/13/13 Cyber-bulling In School Children According to the an author, Zetter, Kim, a neighborhood women setup an account in MySpace anonymously to contact one of her daughter’s classmates. The goal of the woman was to find out why the girl did not go along with her daughter. After she set up the account, the women started contacting her daughter’s classmate. The girl thought the account was for a 16 years old boy. She did not realize that she was contacting her schoolmate’s mother because the woman created the account anonymously. After they started contacting to each other, the woman started abusing the girl with her repeated and mean messages. She started insulting the girl via MySpace repeatedly. Finally, the girl was found hanged behind her house. We all remember that when we were in elementary and high schools, teachers would have to stand on the play ground during break time and monitor the bullies, who would try to take another child’s lunch money, or to take a note being passed around in the classroom that would read something like “I will see you on the play ground after school.” We all passed through this kind of bulling. This kind of bulling used to be performed by physically bigger students and it was not also that much serious. However, over the past few years, with the improvement and tremendously changed of networking technology, the way of life and interaction among people has been altered completely in both...

...most common type of violence in contemporary US society. Bullying occurs in schools, workplaces, in homes, on playgrounds, in the military, and in nursing homes, for example. Today bullying and cyber-bullying have become an increasing problem in the schools. Cyberbullying is a form of aggressive behavior that occurs through electronic devices such as mobile/cell phones (calls and SMS/text messages), e-mail and the internet (blogs, chatrooms, newsgroups, social networks and web-pages). Like other forms of bullying, cyberbullying is usually defined in terms of intentional and repeated interactions on the part of the perpetrator who is perceived to be more powerful than the victim: the perpetrator’s ability to act anonymously is indicative of a form of power he or she holds over the victim As in the case of traditional bullying, cyberbullying often occurs as a result of such relationship difficulties as the break-up of a friendship or romance, envy of a peer’s success, intolerance of particular groups on the grounds of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disability, and ganging up on one individual (Duncan, Neil, Rivers, Ian, 2012). Bullying has taken on new heights and sometimes victims of bullies suffer severe and lasting consequences. Everyday there is more and more stories on the consequences of what can happen when a person becomes a victim of bullies. Suicide and violence has risen in schools because of children being bullied. What are the risk factors for bullying?...
