Poverty Speaks for Itself
In some parts of the world, multiple diseases are still rampant. Despite the incredible advances in medicine these places still remain susceptible. Some of these diseases perished by the effort of human kind. However, scientists were not completely successful in treating some illnesses. For example, ailments such as Ebola, STDs, HIV, Dengue fever and Malaria are ubiquitous, yet not all are curable. Scholars have discussed that a major part in why such diseases are not treated in time is that many people are too poor to act and protect themselves from these sicknesses. Poverty is one of many reasons people are getting sick, and also it is the most affecting. Poor people are at a disadvantage, because they cannot provide most of their basic necessities for them to live their lives and deal with their daily routines. Thus, they can’t aid themselves properly when they are infected by a disease. Although people might argue that there are several causes that are the reason of mass infection of serious illnesses, I claim that poverty is the root cause of these illnesses because poverty leads to lack of medical attention, absence of public protection the, and the contamination of water.
Many poor families and children are eligible for health insurance and Medicaid. However, not all of those people are aware of this fact. As Mercedes Muñoz who edited the book, “Is Poverty a Serious Threat?” stated that “According to Census data, more than 15 million “uninsured” individuals reside in households with annual incomes of less than $25,000. Most meet the income test for Medicaid or S-CHIP eligibility, but they are not enrolled”… She continues by stating that, “many—perhaps most—of these 15 million “uninsured” persons are folks who have not sought health care” (Muñoz 51). The editor here proves that poor people can be medically insured and could be treated for their infections and diseases. Also, the editor shows that most of poor people could afford the medical insurance if they actually demanded health care. In spite of this point being very true, the poor still haven’t gotten more medical or physical attention. The world should acknowledge that poor people do not have the right resources to even know about what they can and cannot obtain. Three major points are being displayed to verify that poor people are the main target of infections, ignorance and not having a clean source of vital water.
Poverty is like a pillar for infections: It is the base of why people are not surviving simple conditions and disorders. Medicare and insurance tend to keep people safe and somewhat protected from various infectious deceases. However, being poor and residing is an underprivileged district can cause a surge in deteriorating health conditions, and premature deaths. According to John Mullahy, and Barbara L. Wolfe who wrote the article, “Health Policies for the Nonelde.

South Africa Health System
South Africa has a healthcare system which is structured at different levels. There are clinics, community health centers, and hospitals. The first level in the hospital structures are the clinics which treat the common needs of the people. It is these clinics that will refer someone further to the hospitals when one needs the further treatment. The clinics are either satellite or mobile clinics which are run by primary healthcare nurses. The community health centers are larger than the clinics and they have both nurses and doctors taking care of the patients. The last level of healthcare facilities are hospitals. The hospitals are for surgery, serious illnesses or emergency treatment that cannot be handled at the clinic levels. An individual can only go to the hospitals if they are referred by doctors in the clinics or in the case of an emergency. Basic healthcare is provided for free by the government through the healthcare services at the provincial level (Masquillier et al., 2015). There is also private healthcare insurance and those who get it receive tax benefits.
There are several gaps that are present in the healthcare gaps in South Africa that have contributed to the rapid spread of the HIV pandemic. South Africa has one of the highest HIV epidemics in the world with over seven million people living with it (Masquillier et al., 2015). The spread of HIV has been caused by gaps which are there in dealing with healthcare awareness for marginalized groups. There are several demographics who do not get the sexual health care that they need such as sex workers, transgender women, gay men, as well as those who inject themselves with various drugs. The second gap that is there is lack of sufficient funds to get people to test for HIV. There is also lack of sufficient facilities to serve poor populations especially in slums to give them access to critical drugs such as ARVs. The healthcare system does not have sufficient capacity to deal with nutritional issues.
One strategy that can be used to deal with the HIV/AIDs issue in South Africa is raising of public awareness through door to door campaigns especially in the slum areas. It is important for everyone to understand the importance of HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention. The local community needs also to realize that it is not good to have stigmatization of the minority groups such as gay men who do not get the healthcare which they deserve. All of this should be done to ensure that these groups of people are getting the care that they nee ...

America's Shame
Author: Singer, Peter
Abstract:
The US has, for many years, been at or near the bottom of the list of industrialized countries in terms of
the proportion of national income given as foreign aid. The ignorance of Americans about their nation's
role in aiding the world's poorest people is widespread, and it has been shown in many surveys. Singer
discusses the ethical obligations of citizens of developed countries to those living in extreme poverty.
Full text:
Reducing the number of people living in extreme poverty throughout the world is clearly one of the great
moral challenges of our time. Although the issue is by no means absent from what we study and teach,
as educators in the United States we appear to be falling short in the task of ensuring that our students
are adequately informed about world poverty, its consequences, and the ways in which it can be reduced.
Is it possible that some of the reluctance to deal with the topic stems from the fact that it may have
uncomfortable conclusions for our own lives?
If we take seriously the idea that the value of a human life does not diminish when we cross national
boundaries, then we ought to be giving a much higher priority to reducing world poverty. I have in mind a
broad re-envisioning of what we teach.
We should not limit so important a topic to specialized courses on international development (valuable as
they are). The issue should be prominent in anthropology, cultural studies, economics, ethics and
sociology. In political-science courses, we should ask why we pay so little attention to people living in
poverty outside our borders. Psychology courses could take up the factors that limit our willingness to
give to distant strangers. Engineers might increase the amount of class time they devote to how their
skills can be applied to assist the world's poorest people. Medical schools could focus more on the global
burden of disease and how it might be reduced, and law students should be prompted to think about an
international legal regime that allows American oil companies to buy oil from dictators who pocket most of
the proceeds. Programs could also be produced to help to educate the broader public.
Nor should we shy away from reconsidering our emphasis on teaching in fields that have timeless artistic
and cultural value. It is legitimate to ask: In a situation in which more people die each year from poverty-
related causes than died in any one year during World War II, how much should we be spending on the
refinement of our artistic sensitivities and those of our students?
I began to think about our obligations to the poor in 1971, when I was a graduate student in philosophy at
the University of Oxford. A few years earlier, such a question would not have been considered one for
philosophers to discuss. The prevailing view then was that the business of philosophy was to analyze the
meanings of words. The linguistic analysis that preocc.

A
Mobile devices have become the de facto standard for communication. Almost all adults in first world countries use one or more mobile devices for work, entertainment, and communication. This means that there are many more devices on a given network and the Internet as a whole, further establishing the fact that there are many more opportunities for hackers to gain access to personal and private information. Mobile devices come with their own ways of protecting personal resources. Describe at least four different types of network security defenses that mobile operating systems provide in order to keep personal data safeguarded. Also, answer the question of who is ultimately responsible for securing personal data: the operating system vendor, or those who own the device hosting the operating system?
B
With mobile operating system attacks on the rise, it is going to be necessary to develop new solutions to mitigate cybersecurity threats. Most solutions that exist take on the form of pre-existing solutions that were meant to be used with desktop and server type operating systems. Thus, embedded operating systems are only just now starting to see their own utilities and solutions being born out of necessity. Describe some of the tools used to protect embedded operating system assets, and add your own personal opinion of how you feel embedded operating system security should be handled in the future.

Mother Tongue
by Amy Tan
I am not a scholar of English or literature. I cannot give you much more than personal
opinions on the English language and its variations in this country or others. I am a writer. And
by that definition, I am someone who has always loved language. I am fascinated by
language in daily life. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the
way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the
tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Recently, I was made keenly aware of the different Englishes I do use. I was giving a talk
to a large group of people, the same talk I had already given to half a dozen other groups. The
nature of the talk was about my writing, my life, and my book, The Joy Luck Club. The talk was
going along well enough, until I remembered one major difference that made the whole talk
sound wrong. My mother was in the room. And it was perhaps the first time she had heard me
give a lengthy speech, using the kind of English I have never used with her. I was saying things
like, “The intersection of memory upon imagination” and “There is an aspect of my fiction that
relates to thus-and-thus”—a speech filled with carefully wrought grammatical phrases, burdened,
it suddenly seemed to me, with nominalized forms, past perfect tenses, conditional phrases, all
the forms of standard English that I had learned in school and through books, the forms of
English I did not use at home with my mother.
Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself
conscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the
price of new and used furniture and I heard myself saying this: “Not waste money that way.” My
husband was with us as well, and he didn't notice any switch in my English. And then I realized
why. It’s because over the twenty years we’ve been together, I’ve often used that same kind of
English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me. It has become our language of
intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up with.
So you'll have some idea of what this family talk I heard sounds like, I’ll quote what my
mother said during a recent conversation which I videotaped and then transcribed. During this
conversation, my mother was talking about a political gangster in Shanghai who had the same
last name as her family's, Du, and how the gangster in his early years wanted to be adopted by
her family, which was rich by comparison. Later, the gangster became more powerful, far richer.

as this ever happened to you? You are embroiled in an argument
about a matter that is important to you and also to an employ-
ee. After several back-and-forth exchanges, you finally say,
“Okay, then, we’ll do it your way.” You do what you can to give that
employee exactly what he is asking for, only to find out later that he is
still ticked off. You are left wondering, “What is his problem? Isn’t he
ever satisfied?”
On the other hand, you may have had another experience as well. An
employee storms into your office, upset about a policy that, as far as she
is concerned, just isn’t working. You listen. She continues talking; you
continue to listen. In the back of your mind, though, you are thinking, “I
don’t know what we can do to fix that. It is what it is … nobody else has
complained.” She keeps talking and you keep listening. Finally she looks
at you with relief and says, “Thanks for listening. I feel better. I’ll talk to
you later.” You didn’t do anything, and somehow the situation is now
okay. You are left wondering what happened.
Usually in a conflict or disagreement, as we look for an acceptable
solution, we focus on the substance of the outcome. Everyone wants

means that the conflict is dissolved. Did you get what you asked for?
If so, then you are happy. If you did not get what you wanted, then
you are not happy. In the first scenario, your expectation is that, when
you finally decide on a solution, the employee will be satisfied. In the
second scenario, you do not expect the employee to leave your office
satisfied unless you take some action that is acceptable to her. But the
reality is often more complex than that. Just as important—sometimes
more important—are the other two sides of the satisfaction triangle,

Abstract
Social insect colonies are high-value foraging targets for insectivores, prompting the
evolution of complex colony defensive adaptations as well as specialized foraging
tactics in social insect predators. Predatory ants that forage on other social insects
employ a diverse range of behaviors targeted at specific prey species. Here, we describe
a solitary foraging strategy of the ant Ectatomma tuberculatum, on nest guards of the
stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula. We observed multiple instances of
E. tuberculatum ambushing and successfully capturing the hovering and standing
guards of T. angustula near nest entrances. The unique hovering behavior of the guard
caste of this bee species, an adaptation to frequent cleptoparasitism by other stingless
bees, may make these guards particularly vulnerable to ground-based, ambush attacks
by E. tuberculatum. Likewise, the behavior of the foraging ants appears to adaptively
exploit the defensive formations and activity patterns of these bees. These observations
suggest an adaptive and targeted predatory strategy aimed at gathering external guard
bees as prey from these heavily fortified nests.

Introduction
Predatory foraging strategies can broadly be placed into two categories based on the
energy expended while looking for food: sit-and-wait versus active foraging (Schoener
1971). Social insects further vary in active foraging strategies by either foraging

solitarily or using mass recruitment to overcome either large or numerous prey
(Gotwald Jr 1995; Matsuura and Sakagami 1973; O'Donnell et al. 2005). However,
such group-foraging behaviors often preclude these species from successfully preying
upon a vigilant and well-defended target. Many social insects that rely on solitary
stealth maneuvers have evolved behavioral strategies for overcoming this challenge
(Matsuko 1984; Gronenberg 1996; Jackson and Pollard 1996; Murphy and Patek
2012). For example, Ectatomma ruidum are facultatively solitary foragers, enabling
the use of a prolonged stealth approach to capture food items from heavily defended
colonies of other social.

Be sure to read through all of the questions, completely, before beginning your research. You don’t want to have to keep going back to the same subject. However, you may have to do that to some degree – that is one of things about research. That is why it is critical to keep track of your source.
Please research the following questions/areas for your assigned city. BE SURE TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR SOURCES. You will have to provide a list of references, and in-text citations, in submitted research. Every fact or piece of information you provide must have a citation and the full reference for that source included at the end in a reference list.
This set of research is the briefest one and should not take you too much time.
Be sure to check out the BUS 163 Library Guide on the left side of your Canvas screen and use the resources listed there to help you with your research.Income/Wages (50 points)
1. Try to find the average area salaries for:
a. Executives (this one will vary widely, and you may get a huge range. If so, just put in the range)
b. Software development engineers/software engineers
c. Accountants – you may find pay rates for a wide variety of accounting jobs. You might find information for some of these:
i. Accounts payable
ii. Accounts receivable
iii. Payroll specialists
iv. Controller
d. Human resource specialists (sometimes listed as HR managers)
e. Non-executive management positions (project managers, program managers, supervisors)
f. Administrative assistants
2. Area minimum wage (you may be surprised how low it is in some areas).
3. Overall prevailing wage – this may be hard to find. What it means is what the labor department and/or unions require to be paid. For instance, if you are doing construction work on a highway, your company has to pay you and your employees the “prevailing wage” for that work. In this area, people who pour concrete and do paving get $52/hour because that is the prevailing wage.
a. Try looking at several sources, but if you cannot find the information, just list where you looked and say you could not find it.
4. Find out the median income for your city/area.
5. Find out the average household size. It is good to check out the US Census Bureau site for this kind of information.
6. Look and see if you can find out if your city/area has required sick leave, like we do in Washington now. If so, what are the details?
7. What is the average home price in the area? What is the range of home prices?
Your information can just be bullet points for this.
Be sure to use AT LEAST three different sources. You might want to see what different information you get for any one category. If you get different information, please note that. A good practice is to look into the source for your source – where did THEY get this information. Also, check the dates and you will likely want to use the most recent informatio.

poverty outside our borders. Psychology courses could take up the factors that limit our willingness to
give to distant strangers. Engineers might increase the amount of class time they devote to how their
skills can be applied to assist the world's poorest people. Medical schools could focus more on the global
burden of disease and how it might be reduced, and law students should be prompted to think about an
international legal regime that allows American oil companies to buy oil from dictators who pocket most of
the proceeds. Programs could also be produced to help to educate the broader public.
Nor should we shy away from reconsidering our emphasis on teaching in fields that have timeless artistic
and cultural value. It is legitimate to ask: In a situation in which more people die each year from poverty-
related causes than died in any one year during World War II, how much should we be spending on the
refinement of our artistic sensitivities and those of our students?
I began to think about our obligations to the poor in 1971, when I was a graduate student in philosophy at
the University of Oxford. A few years earlier, such a question would not have been considered one for
philosophers to discuss. The prevailing view then was that the business of philosophy was to analyze the
meanings of words. The linguistic analysis that preocc.

A
Mobile devices have become the de facto standard for communication. Almost all adults in first world countries use one or more mobile devices for work, entertainment, and communication. This means that there are many more devices on a given network and the Internet as a whole, further establishing the fact that there are many more opportunities for hackers to gain access to personal and private information. Mobile devices come with their own ways of protecting personal resources. Describe at least four different types of network security defenses that mobile operating systems provide in order to keep personal data safeguarded. Also, answer the question of who is ultimately responsible for securing personal data: the operating system vendor, or those who own the device hosting the operating system?
B
With mobile operating system attacks on the rise, it is going to be necessary to develop new solutions to mitigate cybersecurity threats. Most solutions that exist take on the form of pre-existing solutions that were meant to be used with desktop and server type operating systems. Thus, embedded operating systems are only just now starting to see their own utilities and solutions being born out of necessity. Describe some of the tools used to protect embedded operating system assets, and add your own personal opinion of how you feel embedded operating system security should be handled in the future.

by Amy Tan
I am not a scholar of English or literature. I cannot give you much more than personal
opinions on the English language and its variations in this country or others. I am a writer. And
by that definition, I am someone who has always loved language. I am fascinated by
language in daily life. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the
way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the
tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Recently, I was made keenly aware of the different Englishes I do use. I was giving a talk
to a large group of people, the same talk I had already given to half a dozen other groups. The
nature of the talk was about my writing, my life, and my book, The Joy Luck Club. The talk was
going along well enough, until I remembered one major difference that made the whole talk
sound wrong. My mother was in the room. And it was perhaps the first time she had heard me
give a lengthy speech, using the kind of English I have never used with her. I was saying things
like, “The intersection of memory upon imagination” and “There is an aspect of my fiction that
relates to thus-and-thus”—a speech filled with carefully wrought grammatical phrases, burdened,
it suddenly seemed to me, with nominalized forms, past perfect tenses, conditional phrases, all
the forms of standard English that I had learned in school and through books, the forms of
English I did not use at home with my mother.
Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself
conscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the
price of new and used furniture and I heard myself saying this: “Not waste money that way.” My
husband was with us as well, and he didn't notice any switch in my English. And then I realized
why. It’s because over the twenty years we’ve been together, I’ve often used that same kind of
English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me. It has become our language of
intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up with.
So you'll have some idea of what this family talk I heard sounds like, I’ll quote what my
mother said during a recent conversation which I videotaped and then transcribed. During this
conversation, my mother was talking about a political gangster in Shanghai who had the same
last name as her family's, Du, and how the gangster in his early years wanted to be adopted by
her family, which was rich by comparison. Later, the gangster became more powerful, far richer.

as this ever happened to you? You are embroiled in an argument
about a matter that is important to you and also to an employ-
ee. After several back-and-forth exchanges, you finally say,
“Okay, then, we’ll do it your way.” You do what you can to give that
employee exactly what he is asking for, only to find out later that he is
still ticked off. You are left wondering, “What is his problem? Isn’t he
ever satisfied?”
On the other hand, you may have had another experience as well. An
employee storms into your office, upset about a policy that, as far as she
is concerned, just isn’t working. You listen. She continues talking; you
continue to listen. In the back of your mind, though, you are thinking, “I
don’t know what we can do to fix that. It is what it is … nobody else has
complained.” She keeps talking and you keep listening. Finally she looks
at you with relief and says, “Thanks for listening. I feel better. I’ll talk to
you later.” You didn’t do anything, and somehow the situation is now
okay. You are left wondering what happened.
Usually in a conflict or disagreement, as we look for an acceptable
solution, we focus on the substance of the outcome. Everyone wants

means that the conflict is dissolved. Did you get what you asked for?
If so, then you are happy. If you did not get what you wanted, then
you are not happy. In the first scenario, your expectation is that, when
you finally decide on a solution, the employee will be satisfied. In the
second scenario, you do not expect the employee to leave your office
satisfied unless you take some action that is acceptable to her. But the
reality is often more complex than that. Just as important—sometimes
more important—are the other two sides of the satisfaction triangle,

Understanding all three sides of the satisfaction triangle can provide

Abstract
Social insect colonies are high-value foraging targets for insectivores, prompting the
evolution of complex colony defensive adaptations as well as specialized foraging
tactics in social insect predators. Predatory ants that forage on other social insects
employ a diverse range of behaviors targeted at specific prey species. Here, we describe
a solitary foraging strategy of the ant Ectatomma tuberculatum, on nest guards of the
stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula. We observed multiple instances of
E. tuberculatum ambushing and successfully capturing the hovering and standing
guards of T. angustula near nest entrances. The unique hovering behavior of the guard
caste of this bee species, an adaptation to frequent cleptoparasitism by other stingless
bees, may make these guards particularly vulnerable to ground-based, ambush attacks
by E. tuberculatum. Likewise, the behavior of the foraging ants appears to adaptively
exploit the defensive formations and activity patterns of these bees. These observations
suggest an adaptive and targeted predatory strategy aimed at gathering external guard
bees as prey from these heavily fortified nests.

Introduction
Predatory foraging strategies can broadly be placed into two categories based on the
energy expended while looking for food: sit-and-wait versus active foraging (Schoener
1971). Social insects further vary in active foraging strategies by either foraging

solitarily or using mass recruitment to overcome either large or numerous prey
(Gotwald Jr 1995; Matsuura and Sakagami 1973; O'Donnell et al. 2005). However,
such group-foraging behaviors often preclude these species from successfully preying
upon a vigilant and well-defended target. Many social insects that rely on solitary
stealth maneuvers have evolved behavioral strategies for overcoming this challenge
(Matsuko 1984; Gronenberg 1996; Jackson and Pollard 1996; Murphy and Patek
2012). For example, Ectatomma ruidum are facultatively solitary foragers, enabling
the use of a prolonged stealth approach to capture food items from heavily defended
colonies of other social.

Be sure to read through all of the questions, completely, before beginning your research. You don’t want to have to keep going back to the same subject. However, you may have to do that to some degree – that is one of things about research. That is why it is critical to keep track of your source.
Please research the following questions/areas for your assigned city. BE SURE TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR SOURCES. You will have to provide a list of references, and in-text citations, in submitted research. Every fact or piece of information you provide must have a citation and the full reference for that source included at the end in a reference list.
This set of research is the briefest one and should not take you too much time.
Be sure to check out the BUS 163 Library Guide on the left side of your Canvas screen and use the resources listed there to help you with your research.Income/Wages (50 points)
1. Try to find the average area salaries for:
a. Executives (this one will vary widely, and you may get a huge range. If so, just put in the range)
b. Software development engineers/software engineers
c. Accountants – you may find pay rates for a wide variety of accounting jobs. You might find information for some of these:
i. Accounts payable
ii. Accounts receivable
iii. Payroll specialists
iv. Controller
d. Human resource specialists (sometimes listed as HR managers)
e. Non-executive management positions (project managers, program managers, supervisors)
f. Administrative assistants
2. Area minimum wage (you may be surprised how low it is in some areas).
3. Overall prevailing wage – this may be hard to find. What it means is what the labor department and/or unions require to be paid. For instance, if you are doing construction work on a highway, your company has to pay you and your employees the “prevailing wage” for that work. In this area, people who pour concrete and do paving get $52/hour because that is the prevailing wage.
a. Try looking at several sources, but if you cannot find the information, just list where you looked and say you could not find it.
4. Find out the median income for your city/area.
5. Find out the average household size. It is good to check out the US Census Bureau site for this kind of information.
6. Look and see if you can find out if your city/area has required sick leave, like we do in Washington now. If so, what are the details?
7. What is the average home price in the area? What is the range of home prices?
Your information can just be bullet points for this.
Be sure to use AT LEAST three different sources. You might want to see what different information you get for any one category. If you get different information, please note that. A good practice is to look into the source for your source – where did THEY get this information. Also, check the dates and you will likely want to use the most recent informatio.

An 'American psychologist'
Robert V. Guthrie, one of the most influential and multifaceted African-American scholars of the century, wants to be remembered only as 'an American psychologist.' In an interview with the Monitor, he recollects the barriers he overcame to claim that title.
By EILEEN M. O'CONNOR
Monitor
Staff
November 2001, Vol 32, No. 10
In 1955, when Robert Guthrie, PhD, enrolled in a master's program at the University of Kentucky, he was a singular dark face against a backdrop of white.
"I remember one of my white professors eyeing me as if I were an anthropological specimen and remarking, 'You are from one of our Negro schools,'" Guthrie recalls.
His fellow white students didn't offer much support, either, he says, though he once attended a football game after a white student begged him. But when the band played "My Ol' Kentucky Home," a song that at the time included favorable portrayals of slavery, Guthrie knew he had to "get my education, then get the hell off campus."
Despite the discomfort and frustration he felt, however, Guthrie always knew he had a right to be there. That sense of confidence is what propelled him to pursue a degree in psychology when few blacks could, to go on to teach at the University of Pittsburgh, to study multicultural issues as a senior research psychologist in Washington, D.C., and to pen the now-classic tome, "Even the Rat Was White: A Historical View of Psychology."
Last spring, the National Archives of American Psychology honored Guthrie as the first African-American psychologist to deposit his papers there. Asking Guthrie to contribute was a natural choice for the archives because he has worn almost every one of psychology's hats, from research to teaching to government service, says director David Baker, PhD.
"We know almost nothing about the development of psychology at historically black colleges and universities, and only Bob Guthrie's work examines this in detail," Baker explains. "African Americans have much to be proud about their struggle against adversity, like the fact that in my lifetime they were not allowed to attend many grad schools simply because of their race. There are stories of inspiration, courage and strength, and also of anger, frustration and hurt."
First chapters
Guthrie and his twin brother were born in Chicago on Feb. 14, 1932. Weeks later, his father, a school principal, picked up the family and moved to Richmond, Ky., then to Lexington, Ky., towns in great need of teachers for African-American schools.
Growing up in the segregated South left an indelible mark on Guthrie's career outlook. "I did not think I would have an outstanding career," he says. "I was simply growing up in segregated Kentucky, and as at that time black colleges were training teachers to operate primarily in the Southern schools, I figured I might be a public school teacher. I did not know much about psychology. No one did."
He was able to attend Florida A&M University in 1948 by.

Amazon is one of the world's most popular online retailers. The corporation provides its services on an online platform that enables many users in many parts of the world to have access to these services. Amazone company has undertaken massive investments in technology innovations. Amazone has a large base of customers who access the online service offered by the corporation. A large number of online users require that the company adopts the use of cloud computing and ERP systems in its operations.
Modern business organizations heavily rely on cloud computing technology in their operations. Cloud computing refers to the process of delivering computer services, which are on-demand from storage applications. Cloud computing happens both over the internet and also on a pay as you go basis. Companies in the modern world prefer not to have their computing infrastructure. They opt to rent access to anything from the use of applications to the storage capacity from a cloud service provider. It is costly for companies to own their cloud computing services. The Maintenace of the infrastructure is expensive too. Companies save operational expenses by renting the infrastructure.
Cloud computing enables companies to incur expenses of the only service they use, and they can pay for it only at the instance of use. The companies which engage in the provision of cloud computing services, in turn, make profits from the sale of the services to many users. (Yang et al, 2017). Cloud computing offers a wide range of services today. Through computer networking, companies can get storage space for their information and data. Cloud computing also enables networking and enhances processing power through the use of computer languages and artificial intelligence. Cloud computing also offers ideal office applications. The services do not require the users to be at the computer hardware physically. Individuals today make use of cloud computing technology.
Cloud is a term that could, in other words, mean the internet. The information stored in the cloud is information stored on the internet. There are three main models of cloud computing. The first model is the Infrastructure-as-a-service. This term refers to the units that build up the computer service that is possible to lend, such as the storage service, networking service, virtual, or even physical servers. The second model is Platform-as-a-service. The building blocks that makeup Cloud computing are in layers. The next layer up and the layer underlying is what is referred to as platform-as-a-service.
Amazon uses Enterprise resource technologies. Enterprise resource planning allows Amazon to integrate various business practices. ERP provides ideal solutions to various organizations. It will enable Amazon Corporation to optimize the use of resources with more significant innovation. Regardless of the size of the organization, ERP helps to reduce the waste of time. ERP heavily makes use of modern technology in enhan.

Wounded: Life
after the
Shooting
By
JOOYOUNG LEE
Most gunshot victims do not die. In some estimates, 80
percent live to see another day. Yet social scientists
continue to focus on gun homicide. What happens to
individuals who get shot and survive? How do they
experience life after the shooting? This article examines
how gunshot injuries transform the lives of victims. In
practical ways, gunshot injuries complicate sleeping,
eating, working, and other previously taken-for-granted
activities. These disruptions also have much larger exis
tential significance to victims. Indeed, daily experiences
with a wounded body become subjective reminders that
individuals are no longer who they used to be. Ironically,
in some interactions, being wounded becomes attrac
tive and advantageous to victims. Together, these
themes illustrate the need for more sustained ethno
graphic work on the foreground of violent crime vic
timization.
Keywords: gun violence; health; identity; injury; crime

1 Assignment:Economic Environment
In 2018 I worked in a soft drinks company where they adopted the recent technology in the production to increase the production rates and the accuracy of the quality of the products. After the introduction of the technology in the company, a large number of people lost their jobs since the tech replaced the labour and was cheaper than the manual production that involved individuals directly. The technological factors are one of the external factors that are increasingly affecting the business organization. The business changes relate to the presence and the development of technology.
The technology increases the supply of the products. The increase in the supply enables the company to keep up with the demand for the soft drinks. The technology enables the company to increase the productivity and the communication between the suppliers and the consumers. The company can cut down the waste as well as keep up with the demands due to technological advancement. The technology also increased the accuracy in production due to the machinery that was more accurate than the human labour and the company was able to cut down the waste again. The company reduced its expenditure in terms of the losses incurred due to poor production.
It is important to consider the environment while thinking about the strategy change. The supply and demand within the business affect organizational ability. The demand and the supply stimulate each other impacting the prices of the goods and services in the budget. The customer's interest in specific products exhausts the supply available and increases demand. The demand and supply of goods and services have a high influence in determining the prices of goods and services. The prices of the product are likely to fall if the supply keeps on growing and if the supply keeps on decreasing the prices are likely to keep on growing (Becker, 2017). However, with the market economy, the interest consumers, as well as the companies, produce limits product that matches the demand and the supply and it is used in determining the product development and production.

Although ADHD is often associated with children, this disorder is di.docxADDY50
Although ADHD is often associated with children, this disorder is diagnosed in clients across the lifespan. While many individuals are properly diagnosed and treated during childhood, some individuals who have ADHD only present with subsyndromal evidence of the disorder. These individuals are often undiagnosed until they reach adulthood and struggle to cope with competing demands of running a household, caring for children, and maintaining employment. For this Discussion, you consider how you might assess and treat individuals presenting with ADHD.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Poverty Speaks for Itself
In some parts of the world, multiple diseases are still
rampant. Despite the incredible advances in medicine these
places still remain susceptible. Some of these diseases perished
by the effort of human kind. However, scientists were not
completely successful in treating some illnesses. For example,
ailments such as Ebola, STDs, HIV, Dengue fever and Malaria
are ubiquitous, yet not all are curable. Scholars have discussed
that a major part in why such diseases are not treated in time is
that many people are too poor to act and protect themselves
from these sicknesses. Poverty is one of many reasons people
are getting sick, and also it is the most affecting. Poor people
are at a disadvantage, because they cannot provide most of their
basic necessities for them to live their lives and deal with their
daily routines. Thus, they can’t aid themselves properly when
they are infected by a disease. Although people might argue that
there are several causes that are the reason of mass infection of
serious illnesses, I claim that poverty is the root cause of these
illnesses because poverty leads to lack of medical attention,
absence of public protection the, and the contamination of
water.
Many poor families and children are eligible for health
insurance and Medicaid. However, not all of those people are
aware of this fact. As Mercedes Muñoz who edited the book, “Is
Poverty a Serious Threat?” stated that “According to Census
data, more than 15 million “uninsured” individuals reside in
households with annual incomes of less than $25,000. Most
meet the income test for Medicaid or S-CHIP eligibility, but
2. they are not enrolled”… She continues by stating that, “many—
perhaps most—of these 15 million “uninsured” persons are folks
who have not sought health care” (Muñoz 51). The editor here
proves that poor people can be medically insured and could be
treated for their infections and diseases. Also, the editor shows
that most of poor people could afford the medical insurance if
they actually demanded health care. In spite of this point being
very true, the poor still haven’t gotten more medical or physical
attention. The world should acknowledge that poor people do
not have the right resources to even know about what they can
and cannot obtain. Three major points are being displayed to
verify that poor people are the main target of infections,
ignorance and not having a clean source of vital water.
Poverty is like a pillar for infections: It is the base of why
people are not surviving simple conditions and disorders.
Medicare and insurance tend to keep people safe and somewhat
protected from various infectious deceases. However, being
poor and residing is an underprivileged district can cause a
surge in deteriorating health conditions, and premature deaths.
According to John Mullahy, and Barbara L. Wolfe who wrote
the article, “Health Policies for the Nonelderly Poor”,
mentioned in their article that “when poor people become sick,
they have less access to health care and the quality of the care
that they do obtain appears to be inferior” … They continue by
stating that “poverty results in substandard housing or poor
living that may lead to ill health” (Mullahy and Wolfe 41). This
proves that the minority of poor people with disorders or
deficiencies are not being treated within the normal standards,
but within a depraved grade of consideration. Also, the authors
demonstrate that being poor will lead to a lower level of
medical assistance. Some people might consider that the actions
taken towards poor people medically is immoral. Each year
more and more people are dying because of their status in the
community; if they are labeled as poor they will get less
therapeutic support and fewer attention. Poverty is a hardship
that many people face, placing them in a condition that might
3. not make them eligible for the appropriate level of aid.
Many young children are becoming victims to poverty and its
outcomes year after year. As John Mullahy, and Barbara L.
Wolfe also mentioned in their article that “The health of
nonpoor children has improved considerably over the past few
decades, that of poor children hardly at all.” …They continue
by stating that “Medicare does not cover the majority of poor
and near-poor adults and children” (Mullahy and Wolfe 41).
This validates that disadvantaged children are at a higher risk of
catching these mass infectious diseases because of the
negligible level of health service they receive. Also the authors
reveals the fact that poor children are not being taken care of,
and that their situation has not been resolved for decades.
Innocent children are brought to this world where poverty is
becoming a tyrant and controlling most of their lives especially
from the medical field. Unfortunately, poverty is growing larger
as the days go by, and not a lot of children are surviving
because of the gap left by poverty.
Poor people are suffering from negligence and ignorance of the
public and regrettably not getting enough attention. According
to José Barry Azoh who wrote the article “Social Sciences
Research On Infectious Diseases Of Poverty: Too Little And
Too Late?", he states that “These diseases and poverty are
trapped in a sort of permanent relationship of a double layer of
infections and poverty, in which pathogens infect people living
in persistent conditions of poverty... Many of these pathologies
have been referred to as NTDs for diverse reasons…” He
continues by stating that “They have, for the most part, received
lesser investment… in terms of proper attention and actions, or
have simply been ignored by the afflicted communities, media,
governments, re- search funders, the pharmaceutical industry,
and the rest of the world.”(Azoh 1) This is important because
the author shows how many individuals can be biased when the
situation comes to poor people and families, thinking that they
are of a lower class, not worthy, and do not deserve much. Also,
the author views that poor people are being socially ignored by
4. basically everyone, getting lesser attention every day. Poverty
and diseases have a bond that is sadly somewhat unbreakable,
poor people are not able to afford medication or Medicare,
hence, they are neglected by society and left uncured. People
say money makes the world go around, if you are poor and have
nothing to afford to keep yourself safe, you will be forgotten
and will not be able to survive in the new world. It seems that
the less fortunate people are being trampled on so that the
privileged can get what they desire. Unfortunately, protection
for subordinate individuals is fading away.Water is the source
of life that people depend on the most to survive. Nevertheless,
poor countries and people are mostly the main target for
limitation of water and its sources. As P. K. Geol who wrote the
book “Water Pollution: Causes, Effects and Control”, stated that
“On the other hand the poor and developing countries have
overpopulation, increasing their domestic wastes and sewage.
Though these countries do not use much resources and energy,
but short finances make a constrain on the treatment of wastes,
which are often disposed off untreated cause severe water
pollution problems” (Goel 2). The author indicates that not
many people can get a reliable source of fresh water to fill out
their needs. Also, he points out that people who suffer from
poverty tend to receive spoiled and highly-polluted water. The
author also grasps the idea of low salaries and wages, indicating
that many people in these countries cannot afford to buy clean
water or manage to pay for an uncontaminated water source.
Poor people in these countries are struggling to get some pure
water, however, their low incomes is somewhat interfering with
their chances of getting some. Not being able to obtain fresh
water can lead to dehydration which links water contamination
with medical issues together.
Water shortage is a catastrophe that we are modernly
confronting. Human beings are extremely dependent on water in
their daily routine: taking baths, cleaning food, and most
importantly drinking it. All species are reliant on water, and the
amount they are getting is declining rapidly. In their article
5. “Water poverty indicators: conceptual problems and policy
issues”, François Molle and Peter Mollinga mention that “Since
humans are part of the ecosystem, they are also affected when
the amount, quality and timing of water flows necessary to
support ecosystems is not ensured. Loss of biodiversity, health
impacts from pollution, aesthetic degradation and other negative
impacts are caused by such water scarcity” (Molle and Mollinga
530). This is important because water is very essential for all
creatures, and water scarcity is disturbing the ecosystem
dramatically. Also, they signify that this is a global problem
and it needs to be resolved sooner than later because it will
affect people and especially poor ones. Water is being abused to
the limit that people are becoming unaware of how much water
they are using and how much water is being wasted. Water is
one of so many things that people take for granted, and no one
feels the value of something until they lose it which relates to
how poor people feel because they are mostly deprived of
unpolluted water.
In conclusion, poverty is a serious and a universal problem that
many people are challenging today. Poverty has roots that
spread throughout the world causing chaos, disorder and
confusion. Many obstacles confront poor people and these
obstacles vary from privation of remedial care, absence of
community security, and the corruption of their clean drinking
water source. Because poor people most of the time do not have
the privilege to get appropriate health assistance, they receive
little to no help. Poor people do not have a rank that is high
enough to seek people’s attention. Sadly, much of the world
does not have access to clean water. In order for people to get
out of poverty, these three major points must be addressed by
the world community to attempt and diminish the existence of
poverty.

The Power of Punishment
Growth is one of the most important parts of being human.
Whether one does something
against what they know is right or not, it is vital that that
individual grows and learns from their
actions. This is what will lead one to thrive in the real world.
For children, there are certain
facets of growing up that encourage this type education and
self-progress to occur. Corporal
punishment plays a necessary role in promoting this ability to
grow and thrive. Although
punishing children too harshly can be destructive, I argue that
punishment is necessary in a
child’s growth because it leads to better decision making,
encourages more discipline, and
promotes better morals.
11. Although it is evident that punishment can escalate and lead to
outcomes such as physical
or verbal abuse, the pros strongly outweigh the cons. The idea
that corporal punishment can lead
to abusive parental behavior is a huge topic of controversy
among individuals. In the experiment
"The Role of Race in the Association between Corporal
Punishment and Externalizing Problems:
Does Punishment Severity Matter?." conducted by Geneviewe
E. Lapre and Monica A. Marsee,
it is stated that “Although this popular punishment style is often
associated with short-term
obedience (Gershoff 2002), children who experience corporal
punishment may display long term
psychosocial adjustment problems” (Lapre and Marsee 1).
Basically, this is promoting the idea
that punishing children may cause them to follow the rules or
not make the same mistake again
for a while, but it could affect them detrimentally later on. Too
strict of punishment could lead to
Commented [ER1]: This is a very strong thesis. It

what.
Essay 3
possible mental problems for children and emotional distress.
But, this only occurs if corporal
punishment is too severe. Of course, if a parent is abusing their
child either verbally or physically
and leaving marks or scars, the child is going to feel
emotionally and physically unstable. It
would lead most anyone to feel this same way considering the
severity of the punishment. But,
corporal punishment doesn’t mean abuse; or at least it
shouldn’t. It can be mild punishment that
purely pushes an individual in the right path without putting any
psychological or physical harm
on themselves. It can have various benefits, including its ability
to lead to better decision making
in children.
Most every individual strives to make better decisions in their
life. Corporal punishment
can be a major contributor for a child to learn from their
mistake and make a better decision in
13. the future. In Patrick Lenta’s essay "Corporal Punishment of
Children." he states that
“individuals justify a punishment by identifying the goods that
it can bring—deterrence of
wrongdoing…” (Letna 2). The purpose of this statement is to
highlight the idea that a child that
receives physical punishment from a parent will most likely not
make their wrong decision
again. This is because, of course, punishment is associated with
bad not good. If the parent is
constantly showing warmth and affection, the child may never
change their ways towards better
decision making. The use of this type of punishment will ensure
that children have learned what
they did wrong, and thus will be less likely to make the mistake
again. In reality, knowing that
the decision they made resulted in self penalization, the child
should make future decisions that
will benefit themselves and others. This is just one modest
example of how corporal punishment
can have beneficial long-term effects. Another apparent one is
its ability to send children down
the right path when it comes to self-discipline and direction.
14. Not only can corporal punishment lead to better decision
making, it can also help ensure

between what they consider appropriate punishment and
what they consider abuse. This helps the reader understand
what exactly they mean by those terms.

most instructors will still want you to use "his or her" in a
situation like this.

Essay 4
discipline in a child. Disciplining a child is a very important
measure taken to ensure that they
know where they stand as far as rules go. In the article
"Corporal Punishment in Japan." written
by Aaron Miller, Miller discusses how Taibatsu is a form of
corporal punishment used in Japan.
It is stated that “Taibatsu has been used in japan for centuries,
mostly by adult men to socialize
growing boys into ‘proper ways’ of Japanese adult life” (Miller
40). This way of punishment
15. turns immature young boys into proper young men. It has also
been used for a very long time
(centuries to be exact) leading one to believe that it must be
effective considering it is still in use.
Taibatsu is a form of physical punishment, but that doesn't mean
it is abusive or wrong in any
sense. Not punishing a child can lead this child to believe that
there is nothing they need to fix
because they aren’t doing anything unsound. When in reality,
there is something that needs to be
done. With corporal punishment, it is straightforward and clear
to the child that they have made a
mistake. Thus, not wanting to go through the punishment again,
they will most likely make a
better decision in the future. The same goes for Taibatsu. It is a
very abrupt form of punishment
that effectively molds these boys and teaches them proper ways.
Without this corporal
punishment, it is quite unlikely that individuals would have any
reason to stray from rule
breaking in light of being disciplined. This will most likely lead
to children continuing to break
the rules that are set in place to help them. Not only can
corporal punishment enhance discipline,
16. it can also lead to a better code of ethics.
Morals are a very important facet of one’s life. They are what
allow individuals to make
the decisions they know in their heart are right. Last but
certainly not least, punishment has the
ability to promote better morals for a child. In Hazel Blum’s
article “Reforming (But Not
Eliminating) the Parental Discipline Defense” she states that
corporal punishment is “a desirable
and necessary instrument of restraint upon sin and immorality”
(Blum 9). It is evident that Blum
Commented [ER6]: The author should be more specific
about what kind of physical punishment is involved in
Taibatsu.
Commented [ER7]: This transition could be stronger if the

Essay 5
is reiterating the idea that this form of punishment is a vital part
of keeping children away from
the danger or threat of developing a bad code of ethics.
Children will base much of what they
17. believe is right or wrong from what they are taught as children
and what they learn from their
parents. If parents don’t provide strict enough punishment or
are far too easy on their children,
then these said kids won’t develop a moral code of what is right
or wrong. If they get a certain
punishment from their parents, this will provide a
straightforward method of letting children
know that a certain action they performed was frowned upon.
Every time the possibility comes
up for the child to make the decision again in their young and
adult life, they will be cognizant of
the memory of getting punished from performing said activity
or pursuing whatever it was that
allowed them to get punished. Thus, they will probably
associate the action that got them in
trouble with being morally wrong. Hopefully this will lead them
to develop morals that they
know are tried and true because of the punishment they received
as children. With the good
morals set in mind, children will most likely be able to use their
mistake to build a better future
life for themselves. As it can clearly be seen, corporal
punishment has a plethora of noticeable
18. benefits.
Even though abuse is real and can occur, it is obvious that
corporal punishment has many
beneficial outcomes including its ability to help a child make
better decisions, provide them with
more discipline, and encourage a better code of ethics. Parents
today tend to be much less strict
on their children because of issues such as physical abuse that
seem to be headlining all around.
Because of this, children are beginning to lose sight of what
they know is right and lose their
sense of morality. The ubiquitous corporal punishment that used
to be present in most household
is what kept children in line and taught them the rights and
wrongs of life. Without this, children
could develop a decreased work ethic, have less drive, and have
less discipline in future social

and formal situations. If people don’t know how to act and
don’t know what to and what not to
do, the world will simply not spin as it should. The question is,
will individuals see the benefits
of corporal punishment and use it to keep this travesty from
occurring?

Thesis Statement: Although the punishment of children might
sometimes turn into abuse, I argue that the authoritative
parenting style teaches children morals through role modeling,
positive discipline, and reasonable corporal punishment used for
the best interest of child.

The article “Positive Discipline Parenting Scale: Reliability and
Validity of a Measure” by Paul Carroll and William Kyle
Hamilton talks about an authoritative parenting style and
positive discipline are correlated towards happier and more self-
independent children. The author of the article talks about how
authoritative parenting style guides children by helping them
become more independent through meeting the needs of their
children and being aware that they will follow the example
shown to them. The authors give examples on how these
statistics show success through the authoritative parenting style.
The article states “Another key element of the program is the
idea that how a parent responds to a child influences how the
child will respond, and the belief that this is true is formed
through experience, so we included a measure of this belief”
(Carrol, et al. 63). This shows how though being strict with
children through the authoritative parenting style can be seen as
harsh it also leads children into a positive direction through
putting a good example for them to follow. This article is
credible because the author is a PhD candidate in psychology
along with a co-author who is graduate student in psychology. It
is also 16 pages long and includes statistics within the journal
to prove how the studies conducted resulted.

seen to negatively affect their life. The study focuses a lot on
Japan and surveying an apparent group of healthy children to
see whether they had been through corporal punishment as a
child. The end result was that a lot of them had received
physical punishment growing up and had had no effect in their
later life. I will use the quote, “The present results indicate that
a sizable proportion of the undergraduate student participants
had experienced pervasive parental CP and NP, and more men
than women reported both types of experience (36.5% vs. 19.4%
for CP; 22.1% vs. 9.7% for NP). This result is especially
interesting given that we targeted an apparently healthy and
academically successful population of young people” (Kitano, et
al. 9). This quote proves my point because it shows how the
survey results favor the use of corporal punishment in the way
that it does not end up negatively affecting the children’s life
later on. This article is credible because the authors come from
credible work places such as the Research Center for
Community Medicine, the Department of Public Health, the
Department of Hygiene, and attend the Graduate School of
Human Sciences as well of the Faculty of Nursing and
Rehabilitation. The article is 16 pages long and includes
statistics from the direct survey done.

The Article “Perceptions of Corporal Punishment among Creole
and Maroon Professionals and Community Members in
Suriname.” was written by Inger W. van der Kooij, Josta
24. Nieuwendam, Gerben Moerman, Frits Boer Ramón J. L.
Lindauer, Jaipaul L. Roopnarine, and Tobi L. G. Graafsma. The
article’s main idea is to inform and provide a researched data
based in Suriname about the perception of child discipline and
corporal punishment among parents and teaches. The Article
presents a study conducted in three of ten districts in Suriname
involving the residents of Creole and Maroon and the study was
divided into 12 focus groups which included 16 Maroon and
Creole Surinamese mothers, 13 fathers, 20 adolescents and 18
professionals. The study conducted a series of question to all
the participants regarding child discipline and corporal
punishment. Most parents and professionals agreed that corporal
punishment is not a form of abuse and it is accepted if used in
the best interest of the child. I will use the quote, “Well, if your
parents spoke too much to you and you did not listen. Then they
are allowed to give you a strong beating. But they are not
allowed to mistreat you” (Kooij, et al. 284) in my essay because
this quote supports my argument that corporal punishment is
important sometimes to teach children discipline and morals for
their wrong doings. At the same time, parents should know the
limitations to corporal punishment and should not abuse the
child. The article is 15 pages in length and it has cited about 33
different sources. All the authors of this article are associated
with different universities and research centers which leads me
to believe that this article is a credible source to be used in my
essay.

The article “African American Mothers’ Self-Described
Discipline Strategies with Young Children” by Elizabeth A.
LeCuyer talks about the African American culture and how
physical, but not abusive, parenting style does not lead to a
negative effect in children. The articles states African American
25. families are more prone to use non-abusive strategies in order to
discipline their children. They're methods can be described as
disciplinary strategies rather than corporal punishment for
misbehavior, parents use verbal teachings to maintain a positive
parent-child relationship. I will use the quote “The use of these
non-physical strategies along with other indicators of accepting,
nurturing mother-child relationships such as mothers’
appreciation of play, and ability to understand their child’s
perspective and developmental limits, may be the most crucial
components of effective discipline in this population, rather
than the presence or absence of physical strategies”(LeCuyer, et
al.160).This quote supports the thesis of why authoritative
parenting style teaches children through role modeling,
avoiding corporal punishment and using positive discipline as
reinforcement. The article is 20 pages in length and the authors
are all PhD holders at the University of Rochester School of
Nursing, Rochester, New York, USA which makes the article
credible with the research and data collected.
