...role in the development of a learner. The acquisition of new knowledge, information and the way one responds to the learning environment makes him a holistic learner. It must be uncalculated in our minds that one of the purposes of education is to train learners on how to formulate solutions to problems, how to grow independently, how to apply what they learned inside the classroom in their real life situations, and how to understand things and make them useful to one’s life. You cannot learn simply by being told what to do or by watching others, you have to practice and practice frequently. Successful students employ time management systems to create study patterns that work and use active learning methods to add meaning and interest to their study time and maintaining their motivation by connecting reasons for study to their life goals and values. Learners must develop and established good study habits in doing school work, which can raised their academic performance. Significance of the Study The researchers believes that students, particularly Xavier University will be benefited from the findings of this study since the study provides basis for awareness and better understanding of how their current studyhabits affected their academic performance. Likewise gives them a more focused and clear perspective on how the specific behaviours related to their studies influenced study habits. Scope and Limitations The scope of this research are the...

...and pulled into the ship can be a subject that has experienced physical power over its body and a donkey that was lured into the ship with a carrot can be a subject that has experienced power of motivation. These two animal's action can be seen, as a whole, the consequences of education, even though it was by force or motivation. Now the focus moves on to who and what uses this power for what purposes. The power of Law explains this to us. Power of the Law is the coercive power of the State. It is a privilege of a state to enforce law to prevent its citizen's action by setting rules with some limitations. However, the power of this Law can be only exercised with the power of the support by public sentiment. Law, therefore is and effective force but the degree of feeling in favor of the law is one of the most important characteristics of a community, sometimes even more important than the powers of the police. This leads us to the distinction between traditional power and newly acquired power. Traditional power has many positive aspects such as it guarantees its stability and does not have to prove its reasons why it has continued. However it does have some opposite aspects such as, since it is so secure, it is not on the look-out for traitors. Power not based on tradition,...

...Learning and Cognition Paper Michele Fonseca University of Phoenix Learning and Cognition Learning is basically a combination of different experiences in which individual skills like knowledge. When we learn it is a lifelong process this we know for a fact we do only focus on notions that school and training is essential for development. As we know essentially 'cognition' means is 'to know', gaining knowledge through thought or perception. Cognitive learning is about enabling people to learn by using their reason, intuition and perception. This technique is often used to change peoples' behavior. But people's behavior is influenced by many factors such as culture, upbringing, education and motivation. Therefore cognitive learning involves understanding how these factors influence behavior and then using this information to develop learning programs. Learning through experience can come in many forms not always as noticeable as others. For example, students in an academic setting have different learning styles. This specific type of learning ability could allow students to absorb information in a classroom setting effortlessly. This type of learning is more of a passive ability, rather than something that requires effort to accomplish. This type of student could be learning although not paying any attention what so ever in a classroom. This type of learning also can be accomplished outside of a classroom setting within society passively (Advanogy...

...Adolescents with Borderline Personalities that Self-Mutilate Terri Lynn McCarley, RN Ohio Christian University Nursing Research NR3300 Professor Snider Adolescents with Borderline Personalities that Self-Mutilate The purpose of this paper is to discuss adolescents who self-mutilate and how the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder has an effect on it. This author will describe traits of a borderline personality disorder, some of the suggested reasons for self-mutilation and the correlation between the two. This author will provide a synopsis of two literature reviews. Question The question is in adolescents, what is the effect on borderline personality disorders as evidence by self-mutilating compared with adolescents with no mental health disorders? Why This Population is Important? This specific population, adolescents, was chosen because of the impact it has on the future generation. It has a large impact on the children that are coming up in life behind the adolescents. Children are usually influenced by the generation before them and this influence impacts the next generation. Adolescents are known as the “what’s happening now” in society today. This specific population is challenging and full of new views of how they see the world. Is this a phase or an actual mental health disorder for adolescents? The importance of this paper is to look at adolescence receiving earlier treatment and diagnosis. Another important...

...previous experiences (if any) of therapy, medical and psychiatric history and very importantly, why they are seeking therapy. This first conversation is also an opportunity for the client to ask any questions they may have and to discuss the details of how the sessions will potentially work. If the therapist is happy that they can begin a therapeutic relationship with that person they can then go on to establish which modality they are most lead by in order to create the best screed and approach and also how susceptible they may be to hypnosis. There are several ways to determine this and some are more suitable than others in terms of time constraints while in consultation. A practitioner may wish to use the Balloon/Lead Test or the Eye Roll Test as these are most suitable for use in this environment. The problem with using tests to try and discover if someone is open to hypnosis is that if the client fails the test they could lose confidence in hypnotherapy or in their potential ability to be assisted by it. Equally however, if the person passes the test this will instil confidence in the practice but this could ultimately override the ability for it to be carried out successfully. Either way conducting these tests can have a detrimental effect on the...

...During my Theory of Knowledge (TOK) course I realized that everything in the world is linked to each other, there is nothing separate in the world. I also learned that the base of every subject, Science and project is “knowledge”. The basic definition of knowledge is “the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association”. The whole life of a person is based on the idea of learning and knowing everything which is around us. Nowadays people use different ways of knowing (WOK) in order to get a fully reliable information. ‘There are eight different ways of knowing. They are emotion, faith, imagination, intuition, language, memory, reason and sense perception.’ Each of them has its own purpose, value...

...and Its Setting This chapter introduces the subject under research. It provides a thorough discussion of the problem being investigated as well as its significance. It further discusses the scope and limitations of the study and presents the definition of the terms used. Introduction Restaurants could be grouped according to the style of service they offer. The service style determines the layout, menu, inventory, food prices and décor of the restaurant. They could be classified as fast food, fast casual, fine dining and casual dining (Johnson, 2014). This study focuses on the fast casual type of restaurants which are locally established in General Santos City. By definition a fast casual restaurant offers the ease and convenience of fast food, but with a more inviting sit-down atmosphere. The menu consists of better quality ingredients than can be found at most fast food establishments (Mealey, 2013). Inventory signifies all food, beverages, serving supplies and cleaning supplies. Every piece of inventory should be counted at least once every week so that menu items could be prepared for the customers and to stay in control of the goods on hand (Parpal, 2007). Inventory control, also known as inventory management, refers to the systems and strategies businesses use to ensure that they have adequate inventory. According to Parpal (2007), the main purpose of conducting inventory count is to measure the amount of food, supplies and other products used over time. This...

...Corey Rivera Dr. Matthew Arbo Phil 201-D20 December 7, 2013 Response Paper Does a belief in an all-knowing, all-good, all-perfect, and all-powerful God provide one with all the answers to life’s inexplicable questions? Conversely, does a belief in atheism offer any insight into life’s inexplicable questions? According to an article titled “On Being an Atheist,” written by the Australian philosopher H.J. McCloskey, atheism seems to do just that. In fact in his article, McCloskey not only bashes the classical arguments for God’s existence using the problem of evil, but also offers it as the reason why one should not hold to the belief in all-knowing, all-good, all-perfect, all-powerful God. However, as seen in the arguments against McCloskey’s beliefs in atheism, such a belief is not only a sin against God, but has devastating effects to all of mankind. McCloskey claims that arguments, named “proofs” in his article, offer no significant evidence to establish a case for an omnibenevolent God, and therefore should be disregarded.1 However, McCloskey is using the classical arguments the wrong way and in a manner they were not designed to be used. The problem with referring to the classical arguments for God’s existence as “proofs” implies a sense of certainty. These arguments were not meant to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of God, as McCloskey believes. Rather these arguments take a best explanation approach for the existence of God. They simply argue the best...

...Apple Inc. Executive Summary Apple was not just innovative; the company was disruptive. The ability of the tech giant to go from an electronics company on the fringe of obscurity to creating an ecosystem of “must-have” products has been nothing short of amazing. The company did it by being disruptive. When Apple launched the iPod, Steve Jobs created a device that changed not only how the consumer listens to music, but also how he or she communicates, takes pictures, reads, or just passes time. Apple took smartphones to a new level, creating something sleek and innovative. Jobs created a cool new music player for “cool” people. The company established a high-cost narrow-focused market segment (Baltzan, 2011). The iPod and Apple would end up with a high perceived-value that meant, while the consumer always paid a premium price, he or she also always received an operationally superior product and great customer service. Applying Porter’s Five Factors Model, Apple demonstrates its superiority in the smartphone/tablet industry. While the company does not dominate the global market, it does dominate in profits. As a result of large profits, Apple has more financial leverage in negotiations with suppliers and manufacturers. Rivalries and substitutes are generally not an issue among existing Apple device users. Brand loyalty is extremely strong among Apple users. The examination of Apple through Porter’s lens reveals a company that is sustainable. Do you agree...

...have a “fat phobia,” an intense fear of gaining weight. Their desired weight represents their self-worth, self-control, and status. They generally fall into the following two subgroups, with many crosses back and forth between the two during the course of their illness. 1. Restricting food intake and possibly exercising excessively (anorexia athletica) 2. Bingeing and purging food. (Hunt, 2014) Going in more detail about the symptoms of anorexia, the individual denies of being hungry even though s/he may be feeling hungry. They will have this fear of eating that makes them avoid food even if they are starving. Moreover, the anorexic may even refuse to maintain minimal body weight. For instance, they may be too thin for their age and height. Adding on to the symptoms, anorexic have urge of exercising excessively. Even when they are too thin, they exercise a lot. This becomes worse as they diet in the same amount, degrading not only their physical health but mental health too. An anorexic is usually obsessed with the calories and tend to count calories in their food intake. One of the major symptom of anorexia is believing oneself as overweight even if they maybe underweight. Importance of Counselling in treating Anorexia Though anorexia is a severe condition, it can be treated with many techniques, counselling being one of them. Counselling is a specialty within psychology where trained professional use psychological theories. Knowledge and techniques to clients live cope with...

...1. Discuss the effect of the fast pace of technological change on human resources. Since it is known that the higher level technologies tend to be more complex, which results in a requirement for a highly skilled workforce to maintain and sustain, the cost to hire and retain these experts is rising at a pace that is equal or faster than the technologies themselves. The required constant training costs to keep these human resources up to date with the existing and even emerging technologies can put a huge dent in the organizations bottom line. This level of expertise also makes these human resources become a demanded commodity by your competitors, which unless they are contractually bound to remain with your organization, could be a real reason to drastically interrupt your developments until a suitable replacement is acquired. Another effect is that with the attempt to keep pace with these fast paced technological changes, your skilled staff will require constant updated or replaced tools (computers, analytical software, and other financial driven requirements) to enable them to carry out their daily requirements. The positive side to investing in and retaining this level of human resources is that they can then be empowered to make decisions to improve production and other areas that will reduce the response time related to competitor’s threats. With a workforce that possesses this high level of skill sets, it is paramount that management is able to harness and fully utilize...

...Research Critique, Part 1 Problem Statement Identify the clinical problem and research problem that led to the study. The clinical problem being examined in the research study are the three main factors that influenced mother’s decision to formula feed their babies in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada. Breastfeeding has numerous health benefits However, in practice, many women choose not to breastfeed instead replace their breast milk with infant formula milk. In 2010, in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada breastfeeding had dropped to 64.0%( Canada Statistics). While health risks raises in babies with formula feeding, a significant percentage of mothers are reluctant to change their infant feeding behaviors and decided to continue with formula-feed. In some regions of the province, the rate of breastfeeding is very low due to mother resistance and commitment to infant feeding method. Despite increased breastfeeding promotion and support initiatives, mothers still prefer formula feeding over breastfeeding. There is not sufficient proof that mothers’ decisions to formula-feed due to personal factors. What was not known about the clinical problem that, if understood, could be used to improve health care delivery or patient outcomes? The study indicates that women decision to formula-feed their infants due to a lack of support from their mothers, and partners. In addition, decision to formula-feed also influenced by convenience and...

This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the current and prospective of women abuse concentrating in South of Lebanon. Other calculations include rates of numbers of women being abused including statistics of women educated in Lebanon. We also found two reality shows where men clarify why women are allowed to be abused and that it is the right thing to do in certain situations. Furthermore, we inserted KAFAA’s point of view on this matter including what type of situations they dealt with. Also, we have a valid report on the behaviors of the victim and the abuser by a Dr. from psychology department. The interview reveals reasons to why women are abused and how should they react to it. The report finds that even though the government tried to pass a bill that will give women some rights, the religious groups withdrew the law by claiming that it is against their beliefs and that the Shariaa is more than enough. It is a true fact however; if the Shariaawas fully implemented then it would have worked perfectly as said by Dima El Dassouki, a social work in AUH who works with abused women....
