Scenario Student Name Institution Affiliation Scenario Epstein, in her work, says that family, school, and community corporation is best as compared to parental participation to know that educators, parents, and people in the society have shared objectives to facilitate the learning and development of students. Therefore, Epstein comes up with the theory of overlapping spheres of influence that students study more when educators, parents, and other society members work together to direct and student learning development (Epstein & Sanders, 2002). In this model, three perspectives, school, home, and community connected inspirations on students through the interaction with partners, parents, community, and educators across aspects. The following is a graphic organizer of the six spheres. The caring of children in our school will mirror the family engagement the school has. If educators see children as students, they will then see the family as different from the school. Thus the family will perform its roles on the children and leave the work of education to school. When educators then see…
The Therapeutic Relationship within Probation Name Institution Introduction Within the field of psychology, there has long been a debate between researchers and opinion makers on how important the relationship between practitioners and offenders in probation is as far as determining probation outcome is concerned. A therapeutic alliance or therapeutic relationship is defined by Flaskas & Perlesz, (2018) as a collaborative bond between a client and a therapist, where positive change is gained for the probationer through interpersonal processes that do not depend on intervention technique. However, some observers have poked holes on a therapeutic alliance by claiming that it does not make the probationer undergo sufficient retribution because it is client-friendly (Alm, 2016). More studies are still being done on a therapeutic alliance with a view of how compliant it is with community-based sentencing. This paper performs a literature review on a therapeutic alliance in the context of probation with an emphasis on the effects of relationship between probationers and practitioners on the effectiveness of rehabilitation. The first part of this paper looks at the elements that are involved in…
Should the United States move towards a single-payer health care system supported by the government Health care reforms are one of the most debated reforms across the globe, especially regarding the provision of universally affordable care for all. The single-payer health care plan is one of the most debated health care reforms that is currently hitting headlines within the United States. There are various arguments for and against the proposed single-payer health care reform that promises the provision of equal and affordable care coverage to all citizens irrespective of their economic statuses by eliminating the existing multiple-payer plan, which has successively proved to be insufficient in addressing the health needs of the nation. With the implementation of the single-payer health plan bill, the government will be a better position to address three significant problems faced within the health care system, accessibility, quality, and cost of provision of health care. The single-payer health care plan is a system in which a single public agency or quasi-public agency takes the sole responsibility for financing the health care needs for all residents of…
Should the US have compulsory voting? The issue of compulsory voting has gained momentum when the US is experiencing a low voter turnout in elections. In the 2014 midterm elections, only 37% cast the ballot. The number increased to 50% in 2018. In the 2016 presidential polls, 40% did not vote. While many are advocating for compulsory voting, others are against it. Mandatory voting is paramount; legalizing it will increase the number of voters. Voting should be made compulsory in the US. Other countries such as Australia that were experiencing low voter turnout legitimized mandatory voting. Australia introduced it in 1924 after they suffered a low voter turnout in 1922. After its implementation, 91% of the electorate voted in 1925. Belgium and Switzerland have also applied compulsory voting. If mandatory voting is successful in other countries, then it can also work in the US. Low voter turnout has detrimental effects on society. It not only leads to social division but also damages the economy. In the US, estimates indicate that only 19% of low-income families vote. The Economists Intelligence Units…
Should the British Columbia Government Allow Open-Cage System for Salmon Farms? Salmon farming in British Columbia is steadily growing over the years and is one of the major revenue contributors in Canada. North America is the fourth-largest producer of Salmon in the World exporting mainly to Asia and the U.S. In 2016; the industry recorded revenue of $1.5 billion. The main species of fish bred in British Columbia farms are Atlantic salmon. They do well because the conditions in the offshore islands of Vancouver favour them. The area between Vancouver and mainland Canada offers suitable conditions that support the optimal growth of Atlantic Salmons. Cage system is constructed by laying protective nets underwater to protect the salmons from escape, predators, and food chain competitors. As the open-cage Salmon farming grows economically and physically, the government and the public raised concerns about the pros and cons of this project. The British Columbia government should not allow open-cage for Salmon farms because of the adverse effects it poses to the environment. One of the advantages of open-cage farming is because it is…
Sexual Harassment Program By Name: Institution of Affiliation: Date: Introduction Sexual Harassment means any unwanted or unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual favors, or any other conduct of a sexual nature that creates discomfort necessary to interfere with the performance of the employee. When a person is sexually harassed within their place of work, personal dignity is undervalued. As a result, these forms of Harassment may hinder them from efficient performance during their regular routines in their jobs, bar them from attaining their optimal potential, or making a living (Le, & Rycroft, 2015). Additionally, sexual Harassment can result in the destruction of the overall working environment for all personnel. In case it is not handled at the early stages, sexual Harassment in the workplace can lead to uncivil behavioral practices. Persistent and unwelcome interactions between personnel rankings The cases of sexual Harassment in the workplace is possible to both women and men, but women in most cases have the likelihood of being more susceptible to it because they are mostly accustomed to…
SERVICE-LEARNING Name Course Date Service-Learning Service-Learning refers to learning that actively involves students in a wide variety of experiences, which time and again benefit others and the community while also meeting the goals of a given curriculum. Service-Learning provides students with an opportunity to participate in community projects to apply classroom learning that may benefit the community. It is an educational approach or perspective that aims to incorporate community service to learning objectives so as to provide a practical and progressive learning experience while meeting the needs of the community. It is also a combination of formal education and applying classroom knowledge in community projects. Service-Learning recognizes the student’s personal talents and passions and allows them to exercise and engage them real-world situations. There are several types of Service-Learning, which include Advocacy Service-Learning, Direct Service-Learning, Indirect Serving-Learning, and Research-Based Serving-Learning. Advocacy Service-Learning involves educating and creating awareness to others about topics, issues, or matters of public interest-projects aimed at providing knowledge to the public.…
Self-Fulfilling Prophecies in New Zealand Name Institutional Affiliation Date Self-Fulfilling Prophecies in New Zealand Introduction Self-fulfilling prophecy has grown to become a discussed topic in psychology. People sometimes find themselves in states of truth that resulted from their predictions. According to Jussim (2017), self-fulfilling prophecies refer to a phenomenon that describes predicting something, and that thing is occurring merely from people’s beliefs. An instance is when a person predicts that their project turns out well, and as a result of their confidence, their project turns out to be great. Alternatively, self-fulfilling prophecies encompass the contrary beliefs, which are that if someone believes that they will underperform, it happens (Smale, 2019). Therefore, self-fulfilling prophecies entail having expectations and beliefs that influence behavior and actions (Jussim, 2017). Self-fulfilling prophecy has various roles. Smale (2019) explains that some of these roles are in psychology, whereas others are in sociology, and the term has appeared in several centuries. Smale (2019) explains that self-fulfilling prophecies have gotten used by sociologists as an analytic lens for studying deviant and criminal behavior, student performance, and the…
Sequence/Method of work and Programme Series of management documents drive the project management team to come up with a construction work plan. The program is created before the commencement of the work to set a timeline for the project based on the phases of construction. Construction programme requires maintenance of a close relationship with the engineers, project managers, and all the other stakeholders. The construction programme consists of various aspects of construction, such as budget, time, and resources. Some elements consist of the programme which includes scope, pre-construction, risk management, quality assurance, budget, and schedule of the activities. The scope of the programme explains the justification of the activities by stating the purpose. The purpose of the final structure, considerations are taken, the duration of the project and resource scheduling are elements of the programme’s scope. Before commencing construction pre-construction study was carried out to create storage space and terrain conditioning. During planning, risk assessment is taken into consideration to ensure workers’ safety from possible accidents that may be encountered during construction. The plan also contains quality assurance, which entails…
The secretion system of type 3 Discussion The secretion system of type 3 is aimed at investigating the encoding of the protein, based on their structural effectors, and he related bacterial infections, which are risky due to the EPEC. The assessment is discussed based on their functionality interchanging due to the existence of both LEE EPEC and the bacteria E.tarda. Hence, the results found are based on experimental practices (Zheng & Leung, 2007). Firstly, it was found that the bacteria tested produced a protein that substitutes for EscP EEC in promoting translocators secretion but not Tir delivery into HeLa cell. The interchanging of the homologous structure of the protein was low as compared to the EPEC EscP and E.tarda proteins. The E.tarda have comparatively low functional interchangeability due to the existing similar sequences in their amino acids. The composition of their protein is affected by the serum complements, which helps in preventing activation of alternative pathways on the surfaces which expose the homologous sequences. Hence, the bacterium is helped by the LEE sequence of the esP gene, which prevents…
