It is inevitable that behaviors of students inside a college classroom in a way depend on their race or ethnicity, which does not make it very neutral place of learning and social interaction. Studies have shown non-native speaking students struggle depression because they are in a different country and away from family. Scholars argue whether this is the implication of the alienation to students who form the mainstream population or just one of the effects of being drenched in a multicultural society. Additionally, Studies show non-native speaking students are more pessimistic than any other students and are more likely to anticipate possible problems in their ventures. This insinuates that they are more inclined towards avoidance of future maladies, and thus they always tend to play their affairs safe. Non-native students are also more prone to health problems as aftereffects of their depression and pessimism, not to mention persistent recurrences of inferiority complex, which may interfere with their academic achievement and in this case, they would benefit from a depression screening when they are go for medical treatment on campus. Due to the fact students who come from an ethnic background are more at risk for depression, colleges and legal regulations should balance privacy and safety in order to prevent future massacres on campus because there was too much protection of privacy, which may have contributed to the Virginia Tech incident. On the other hand, when the two females complained that the shooter was stalking them, the school administration did not act because the privacy law protects students autonomy rather than making them get mental health counseling (Gammage and Burling. 2007). The law should not be so protective of those who have warning signs such as twisted poetry, or even written out deep seeded issues in their written assignments and complaints against them from other students that feel they need protection against someone who poses as a threat. It...
Since the shootings, Virginia Tech has had many discussions about having a watched list of students who may be at risk for unlawful behavior. Colleges and legal regulations should balance privacy and safety in order to prevent future incidents on campus because the laws protects too much privacy.
School Safety Plans & Policies Campus Safety Procedures Activity Description and Summary The design of safety measures at my school is fundamentally the responsibility of the district authorities, as schools are expected to respond uniformly to district policies and procedures. However, I did help to implement and monitor safety measures through my roles during the school safety drills. My primary responsibility in the campus safety initiative was to assist with in fire drills
Violence on College Campuses Virginia Tech could probably have avoided the terrible massacre of 2007 had its officials taken more timely and effective action with Seung Hui Cho. He had a very long record of mental illness dating back to middle school, including fantasies of violence and murder, and he had received psychiatric treatment in the past. His behavior at Virginia Tech was so disturbing to students and faculty that a
Although the research tools provided by the ISO 14001 framework are both qualitative and quantitative, this approach is consistent with the guidance provided by Neuman (2003) who points out that, "Both qualitative and quantitative research use several specific research techniques (e.g., survey, interview, and historical analysis), yet there is much overlap between the type of data and the style of research. Most qualitative-style researchers examine qualitative data and vice
"It was tested on almost 600 kids in a desegregated Indianapolis middle school where there are a lot of aggressive kids," Bosworth says. "Those who used the computer were more aware of their own coping strategies and violence presentation. They also showed a decrease in the belief that violence was a way to solve problems" (quoted in Singer at p. 41). Peacemakers Program. Violence Prevention for Students in Grades Four
Fire Safety Management The purpose of this paper is to explore several key concepts related to Fire Safety Management. Specifically this paper aims to explore the following concepts in greater detail: Fire protection/suppression systems, Building Construction and Exit Drill in the Home (EDITH) and other Home Safety Programs. Fire technology has expanded in recent years, providing for important fire safety management components. This includes construction of more fire retardant buildings and implementation
School Culture on School Safety Many studies have been done on safety in schools. Likewise, many studies have been done on the culture of various schools. Unfortunately, there has not been significant research on a link between the two. This is not to say that these kinds of studies have not been done, but rather that there has not been enough of them. Many of the studies that have been
