...Children Just Want to be Treated Equally Academic Behavior Code A. Califano April 24, 2013 Abstract Many children and adolescents with obsessive compulsive disorder go undiagnosed. Researchers examine the possible causes and found that many children do not get diagnosed because of their lack of ability to understand and vocalize their experiences; hindering children’s abilities to maintain relationships and perform well in school. ERP is a form of treatment that has been recorded to work in many cases. In some circumstances children may not be able to handle the distress and anxiety that is associated with the repeated exposure exercises. Treatment is extremely important for those who are suffering from OCD. If not properly treated, it is expected that those people unfortunately can have a chronic and deteriorating course. Keywords: OCD, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Children, Adolescents, ERP, Treatment, Distress, Anxiety, Diagnosis Children Just Want to be Treated Equally Obsessive-compulsive disorder, referred to as OCD, is a common psychiatric disorder and is one of the highest recorded in the United States. It has been estimated that OCD affects 1 in 200 young persons (Adams, 1999). This means that 3 or 4 students in an averaged sized elementary school suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder. This disorder impairs children’s abilities to function in home, school, and community settings. The American Psychiatric Association (2000) characterizes OCD as recurrent...

...In this paper I am going to be discussing equality amongst men and women. I am going to explain many different reasons why women should be treated equal to men. I am also going to get you a reason why some would think that women aren’t equals to men. While there are some things men to better because they are naturally stronger than women, I do think that women and men are equal because women are just as strong as men mentally and spiritually and that is very important. Women have proven over the years that as long as they put there mind to doing anything it can accomplish, just like a man, in the world today women are doing everything that men are doing and some are even doing it better than men. First, I think that women and men are equal because women are just as strong as men mentally and spiritually so why shouldn't they we are consider equals. In terms of equality, I do see that women are more evolved mentally, spiritually and emotionally. That's why women seem to have a heighten sense of a taste, smell, sound and even sight. However, the problem is that society doesn't promote these things society promotes male qualities and for that reason along women aren’t treated fairly. Additionally, Women have proven over the years that as long as they put their mind to it they can accomplish everything a man can. If we go back in time we will see that women are astronauts, doctors, lawyers, and construction workers as well, which were all male dominated jobs before. After doing...

...Should All People Be Treated Equally in a Society? Egalitarianism (from French égal, meaning "equal") - or, rarely, equalitarianism - is a trend of thought that favors equality for particular categories of, or for all, living entities ("Egalitarianism"). Egalitarian doctrines maintain that all humans are equal in fundamental worth or social status. Equity is probably one of the most fundamental values common to all people in a society. Equity can be elusive; however, it is usually defined in terms of how equals are treated by government policies and the legal system, and how we decide who these equals are. The concept of equality is multifaceted; the literature on theories of equality is immense and the application of these theories is complex. My definition of equality is the state or quality of being equal. Should people be truly treated equally? Can it ever be possible to achieve true equality even if we wanted to? No. It’s just not in our nature nor is it fair to the citizens around us. It hides people’s true talents, will cause chaos without the government, and it isn’t fair financially. Besides, no one, no country, or nothing’s perfect. We shouldn’t or can’t force everyone into thinking they’re equal and should be treated the same, it’s just never going to happen. In the novel Animal Farm (Orwell), Orwell writes about a world where animals overthrow the oppressive farmer Mr. Jones and try to construct a society based on the founding principal that all animals are equal...

...African American race was discriminated for a long period and was discriminated in various ways throughout this time. The longest and most prominent method used was slavery, then after slavery ended segregation was another method, and lastly African Americans not being treated equally or having the same rights was another method that was used to discriminate against the African American race. To start with, the first method that was used to discriminate against was slavery which was the most prominent and abrasive method used to oppress the black race for hundred of years. Slavery caused the black race to basically be treated as property and not a person for hundred of years and even when slavery finally ended blacks still were not treated equally and were discriminated against. Slavery was also the most brutal of methods used to oppress the black race and the longest method used to discriminate the black race. During slavery blacks had no rights what so ever and and no say in what they did because there masters told them what to do and when to do it and they had to follow their orders. Also, during slavery blacks were not able to be their full potential because they were not even considered to be people and were treated as property. Also, during slavery slaves couldn’t even stay with their families a lot of the time or their significant other so hypothetically everything was taken from them and they had nothing. Slavery also occurred for hundreds of years and it wasn’t until 1865...

... This doesn't sound like a good thing for the internet we know and love. In order to protect the fundamental principle that the internet was based on, and small web-based companies, net neutrality Must be protected and preserved. To understand why Net Neutrality must be preserved first you have to understand it, the economics of it, the arguments against the system, and the effect its change would have on small web-based companies. Net Neutrality can be defined very simply, that all websites are treated equally and distributed to the consumer or business equally. According to Tim wu, a professor at Columbia law School, he says on his personal website article Network Neutrality FAQ “The idea is that a maximally useful public information network aspires to treat all content, sites, and platforms equally.” What he is saying here is that basic concept of Net Neutrality is that no matter what provider, or platform (computer, tablet, or phone e.t.c) all content must be treated with equal delivery privileges. In other words, large companies can’t buy the top internet delivery speeds, leaving small web-based companies in the dust. However the United states Government has introduced bills, specifically The Internet Preservation Act, that do allow for Q.O.S (quality of service) discrimination. Which means that the Consumer can...

... women’s roles have had a positive change and they are treated better at home and at work. Since the roles have changed, women do not need to stay at home and be home-makers because they have proved that they are capable of anything. This essay will discuss against the topic that women should be home-makers. Some of the issues that will be discussed are women have been given opportunities to get an education and go to work. They should not be just home-makers because they need to be treated equally to men. Women should be encouraged to diversify their life choices and not just stay at home and be home-makers. Opportunities for women to have education to get a job allow them not to restrict themselves by staying at home being housewives. In reality, women were not given a standing in society and were not exposed to the outer world. However, women nowadays have been given the opportunity to be educated and to work for which they get paid and their families receive the benefits of a good standard of living. Their children get good education, good clothing and other benefits in society. In this century, women do not want to be just home-makers. They get good work and education by being responsible to their families economically. This allows women to be empowered in their lives. Treating women equally to men has changed the roles of women who did not have that privilege some years back. Over centuries, women have been treated as slaves everywhere. The difference between men and women...

...employees should be treated fairly but rarely should they be treated exactly the same, employers should treat employees fairly because when employees feel they are not administered fairly they lose respect for management , it causes buildup of resentment toward fellow coworkers , and when employees are not treated fairly they lose motivation for their work. It is an employer’s responsibility to treat all employees equally. First, Employers should treat employees fairly because when employees feel they are not administered fairly they lose respect for management. One reason this may occur could be that the employee was over looked for a promotion. The employee could have gotten a bad performance review that they don’t agree with. The employee could feel that favoritism is being shown to a coworker. Additionally, it causes buildup of resentment toward fellow coworkers. An employee could be being shown favoritism from a manager and be doing things that they should be getting reprimanded for but are not because of the relationship they have with this particular manager. For example the employee could be taking this manager out for dinner and drinks from time to time and in return the manager is looking out for that employee’s job. The manager could also be covering up this particular employees mistakes to make it look like it never happened. Thirdly, the most important reason Employers should treat employees fairly is when employees are not treated fairly they lose motivation...

...accompanying the patient to the lavatories, reception and entrance and this shows that she cares about her patient’s health. She also makes sure that the patient has the right to privacy and confidentially by asking and knocking before entering and by putting files of health problems that may be confidential to the patient in safe hands. The right to be respected should be provided at this health and social care setting because it shows that the care workers show consideration for the service users and that it allows them to feel that rights are being respected. To be treated equally and not discriminated against: To treat people how you would like to be treated even if they have different characteristics, such as their social class, gender, sexuality, age family structure, race, disability, religion, ethnicity and geographical location.

...diverse. Diverse cultures treat people equally, provide compensation fairly and include all people regardless of their economic position, gender or race. Although diverse societies sometimes have difficulty when creating governing rules they profit from perspectives that may be unknown in a non-diverse society. The idea that all people have something unique to offer in our society must be protected. Protecting that concept will allow us to continue evolve, be focused on our future and learn from our past. Lack of diversity; the negative impacts Things that cannot be changed often affect how individuals are treated. It is not possible to change the color of one’s skin or one’s gender. In a diverse society differences are celebrated rather than punished. The current international landscape is quite diverse. Different peoples, roles and opportunities exist in different places worldwide. By contrast, a practice like racism negatively affects society by excluding individuals based on their ethnicity. It will be to our advantage to stop evaluating people based on things they cannot change and instead evaluate them based on their future and current capabilities. Diversity is the equal treatment, compensation, and inclusion of people from all groups. Equality of treatment Primarily, in a diverse society people from all groups are treated equally. When a female qualifies for a traditionally male position they are treated the same as their male counterparts. For...

...| At school | At the start of the course | During and after studying health and social care | Knowledge` | In secondary school I did study BTEC Health and Social Level 2 so I do know quite the basics about Health and Social. I got a merit for this course, I could have got a distinction but I did do 3 more other subjects which I had to focus on as well. I always had an interest in this subject because it expanded my knowledge in a range of things as I done 7 units covering 7 topics. My teacher explained each unit clearly and if we wanted help she would have gave us that support to make it more understandable. Whilst I was doing this course I realised this course is for people who want to pursue a career in a health and social care sector, to become a nurse, midwife, social worker, counsellor , care worker etc. That’s why I carried on to do level 3 at sixth form. | When I started this course in September (Health and Social Level 3) I had more of an understanding of what I’ll gain in terms of skills and a lot of knowledge. I knew as this was a BTEC Health and Social course it would consist 100% of coursework but my teacher gave me more information about this course such as there is 6 units in year 12 and another 6 in year 13. My knowledge in Health and Social is getting better as my teachers told me what to include in my assignments and how to get a pass merit and distinction. Whilst I’m doing this course I’ve learnt many things that would help me in university such as how to...

...living in. Carli Lloyd is a U.S women’s soccer player who strongly believes that everyone should be treated equally no matter what gender they belong to. After being on the women's team for 12 years, she has experienced gender inequality in every way, and she will continue do whatever she can to fight for women’s rights, so that young girls around the world won’t have to experience the hardships of being mistreated. First of all, Carli lloyd stated, “It had everything to do with what’s right and what’s fair, and with upholding a fundamental American concept: equal pay for equal play. Even if you are female.” Evidently, Carli is right about the unfair wage gap between the men and women’s team, especially since Carli and her teammates, play just as much and just as hard as the men soccer team players. There shouldn’t be a wage gap especially if men and women are doing the same job just as well. Secondly, Lloyd also claimed, “The top five players on the men’s team make an average of $406,000 each year from these games. The top five women are guaranteed only $72,000 each year.” There is a 334,000 dollar wage gap between the two...

...Celebrities: Unfairly Getting Away with Murder Celebrities all over the world can do the same crimes as middle and lower class Americans yet their punishments are much less. As stated in an article from Entertainment News, we see each and every day in newspapers and on TV where a celebrity is caught breaking the law (Celebrity Law Breakers). Loretta Martinez says this is a huge problem and that we hardly ever see any celebrities doing more than a day or two in jail, or paying a fine that is so small it doesn’t make a dent in their wallets (Martinez). Entertainment News also says this is leading to chaos and much dispute about what is going on with our government and law enforcement these days (Celebrity Law Breakers). This is why celebrities breaking the law and not being punished the way they should be is causing disputes about how our law enforcement and judicial system is unfair. Recently in a news article by Loretta Martinez, it is stated that Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears, Jesse McCartney, Marc Anthony, Nicole Richie and many other celebrities have been seen breaking the law and being punished with minimal charges or getting away with no charges at all (Martinez). There are many celebrities who were let go for doing the same crimes that middle and lower class Americans are serving jail time for. Entertainment News asks, how can our government say that “laws apply to everyone,” when everyone knows that many celebrities are clearly above the law (Celebrity Law Breakers)...

...let the colonist help. If they were to let them, then now would all be treated equal and right. The colonist would want independence from Great Britain, because the king created unreasonable taxes. The reason why The Declaration of Independence was written is, all men are created equal. All men have basic human rights given to them by God. The only reason to have a government is to protect these basic human rights, which Jefferson lists as "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." In the article, "Declaration of Independence," Jenjenm stated "The Declaration of Independence," because it states that government exists for the benefit of the people and that all men are created equal" ( Jenjenm1). The oppressors were saying that all British citizens were treated the same, but that was not the truth, because there King had many rules that were not fair to them. In the article, "British Citizens", Jonathon stated, "Parliament had no right to tax the British colonist" (Parker 1). That meant that they were charging the British colonist's taxes. That was unfair for them, because they were colonists too. This means that not all men were created or treated equally. Not all people felt represented by the Declaration of Independence, even though Thomas Jefferson stated "All men are created equal." They felt that other people had more freedom than themselves. There is many people that are not treated equally. That is, because they do not stand up to the rights they have as an...
