For example an award in a field might indicate a person's competence and knowledge but it can never really show how an experience has changed a person from within and how the person has evolved due to it.
When I worked with indigenous people, I realized how it feels being a minority in a world that is otherwise dominated by mainstream cultures. Small ethnic minorities have a culture very deep and a heritage worth preserving but still their culture faces threat of extinction and they face numerous challenges as they try to hold on to their values and traditions. It helped me understand that humanity has one face but many colors and each color is worth preserving because that's what makes us human and without any of those colors, we may lose some of the essence that makes us human.

S. In fact, I took it as a challenge for me to learn and gain skill in the English language. Hence, I took up 2 months classes in English language in the U.S. This is to prepare me in my coming college study in the country.
Currently, my main objective in the U.S. is to pursue and finish my college studies. Afterwards, perhaps, I also hope to further my studies by taking up a masteral degree. Aside from this, to be able to support my living in the U.S., I am also planning to take part-time jobs or perhaps full-time job that can meet my schedules during my college studies. I believe that this will not be a problem to me because I already have work experiences in Brazil. and, working to be able to support my living and my studies is a new challenge that I am eager to face…...

These values about friendship, family, and community are ones that will guide me through my career in sports management or sports/entertainment law, allowing me to be a positive force behind an industry with the potential to do so much good.
Academically, I have been highly successful because of football. For some students, sports can be a distraction, but for me it has always helped me to focus on my priorities. I excelled at reading early on so that I could stay up-to-date on the articles in Sports Illustrated and read the biographies of my football heroes. Football advanced my cognitive processing skills as I completely absorbed the strategic and logistical elements of the game. In school, I knew that every class lesson could be applied to improving my understanding of football in some way, and every subject from math, to biology, to physics, to English gave me greater insight into…...

Class trends in achievement: Prejudice and culture

According to the ritish Educational Research Association: "Some 31% of white pupils on free school meals -- a key indicator of poverty -- achieve five As to Cs, compared with 63% of white pupils not eligible for free school meals" (Shepherd 2010). However "this gap between social classes -- of 32 percentage points -- is far higher for white pupils than for other ethnic groups" (Shepherd 2010). Statistics thus suggest that while class prejudice may have an impact upon student test scores, a culture in some white, working-class homes that does not support education must also be taken into consideration as a factor, given that the effects of poverty are not nearly as obvious as they are for minority…...

Parenting Attitude and Style and Its Effect on Children's School Achievements.
This reading assessment examines the connection between parenting attitudes and styles and children's school achievements.

Kordi and Baharudin (2010) identify three distinct parenting style constructs. These include the authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative parenting styles. Inherent in these are characteristics such as certain levels of maturity, various types of communication style, levels of nurturance, warmth, and involvement.

According to the authors, the authoritarian parenting style creates an environment in which children are required to be submissive to their parents, while the parents' attitude are generally strict and directive while being emotionally distant and detached. The permissive parenting style, on the other hand, involves an attitude that includes fewer restrictions and limitations on the child. Children are, instead, expected to regulate themselves and their own activities. The authoritative parenting style is similar to the authoritarian style in terms of clear and firm direction, but…...

educate our children. As increasing numbers of affluent parents enroll their children in pre-school programs that offer more than just the traditional "play and supervision," but also provide early instruction in basics like reading and math, the question arises as to whether these children are obtaining a competitive edge over the less-fortunate peers. hile free pre-school, that is free pre-kindergarten, education is rare, many school districts have responded to the needs of working parents by establishing full-day kindergarten programs, while others have continued to maintain the older half-day system. Unfortunately, the newer system, particularly where it includes genuine introductory academic instruction, is expensive and therefore often unavailable in poorer areas. An excellent example of this situation is to be found in New York's Inner City schools. Here, a largely minority population must often face a shortage of qualified teachers, and a lack of funds, equipment, and supplies. New York…...

As Frank Ching (2003) indicated,
Interestingly, China appears intent on widening its influence through both antiterrorism and trade efforts. It has already reached agreement on creating a free trade area with the 10-member ASEAN, and last week Wen, the Chinese prime minister, proposed that SCO, too, establish its own free trade area

This good trading relation of China to Asian countries causes the diverse products of China to be present in the Asian market which in turn influences the living and lifestyle of the Asian society.

The will-power of the Chinese government to establish China as among the fast-developing nations and among the nations with stabilized politics, similarly causes its influences to its neighboring countries.

Quality of Life; Achievements and Lessons from Norway

Question 1; What are the unique aspects of Norway that made its advantages and successes so great?

Norway's success n the twentieth century, and its ability to gain the number 1 ranking in as the best place to live in the U.N. Human Development Report. The developments in Norway reflect some unique conditions which indicate the advantages and successes achieved were great. The starting point for these considerations is the condition of the country and the situation prior to the developments; with Norway being one of the poorest European countries at the beginning of the twentieth century (Williams). This alone is not a unique position, as Norway was not the poorest, but given the current quality of life, this starting point does indicate the achievement that has been seen.

It may be argued that the austerity of the poverty created a culture that has been…...

ichard Nixon Achievements as a U.S. President
ichard M. Nixon was the thirty-seventh American President whose administration started functioning in January1969 and concluded in August 1974 in an abrupt manner following the Watergate scandal. Despite the consequences brought by the scandal, Nixon's presidential terms can be remembered in good words considering the fact that they brought the nation success on many fronts (Collins, 2000).

The President is most positively remembered in the foreign policy arena. In addition to this, Nixon demonstrated his character as a bold president when he successfully negotiated with the Soviet Union and Maoist China, thus producing persistent revolution in East-West relations (Collins, 2000). His summit meetings with USS leader Leonid I. Brezhnev formed an agreement to restrict intentional nuclear weapons. He also declared an accord with North Vietnam after which American involvement in Indochina ended. Disengagement agreements were also negotiated in 1974 between Israel, Egypt and Syria under…...

First and foremost, it would boost morale amongst the staff. Despite their strengths, they face many stresses as caregivers when they deal with patients who are elderly and suffer life-compromising comorbidities. Caring for our caregivers ultimately improves the quality of the care they bestow and boosts organization retention levels.
By inviting the wider community to an on-site event, the public would be able to be educated about the work that we do and become privy to hearing and reading various patient testimonials regarding the success of the TAVR. The event would offer heart-healthy food and drink, free exercise programs, and informational sessions. This would enable us to market the program to the potential patients, educate the public and healthcare providers about the program's benefits, and increase acceptance and appreciation of the program. Ideally, these commemorative events of program milestones would become a regular occurrence for the TARV facility.

Smoking and Health Changes in Society
he rising cost of healthcare continues to be one of the most important contemporary social issues in the United States. Among other things, a focus on the importance of preventative medicine will be necessary to make meaningful improvements to American healthcare and to the overall health of the American population. Smoking cessation will necessarily play a crucial role that respect, because of the magnitude of the harms to society. Accomplishing that on a meaningful level will require a fully integrated approach that encompasses, legislative changes, increased regulation of the tobacco industry, community education, and, of course, a fundamental emphasis of smoking cessation throughout the healthcare community.

In the U.S. alone, smoking-related illness is directly responsible for approximately 400,000 preventable premature deaths from disease every year. hat is more than the number of deaths from illicit drug use, violent crime,…...

The Comprehensive Legislative, Regulatory, and Healthcare Approach

Smoking-related disease and death have both declined substantially in the U.S. because of the proven effectiveness of legislation such as prohibition of smoking in the workplace and in bars, restaurants, public transportation, and many types of public areas. The evidence also demonstrates a direct reduction in smoking that has been achieved through the use of taxation to increase the price of smoking products. In 2009, President Obama signed important legislation finally bringing tobacco products under the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

However, the U.S. still lacks a comprehensive and unified smoking-cessation approach within the healthcare system. This represents a significant gap between what is known about the benefits of smoking prevention programs and the influence of healthcare professionals on patient behavior. Nurses, in particular, have tremendous influence through their patient counseling and patient education opportunities. Ultimately, integrating healthcare smoking prevention resources with other existing approaches will be the key to achieving the long-term goals of eliminating smoking as the most significant preventable risk to human health in American society.

Achievement Testing
Howell and ueda in their article Achievement Testing with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students question the veracity of the widely used Standardized Norm-eferenced Achievement Test (SNAT) in measuring systematic differences among group means. As they point out, SNAT characteristics, are: completely nonaligned with instruction; assume a uniform curriculum, schooling, language proficiency and sociocultural experience across student groups; and are designed for an outside purpose of formulating education policy. Given the limitations of SNATs, Howell and ueda explore the alternative Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) and the Performance Assessment (PA) approaches to student achievement. Though more aligned to classroom curriculum and instruction, these alternatives too have their limitations. The CBM focus on task-analytic decomposition of complex domains, for example, is of concern for teachers of language minority students who commonly use more holistic or 'whole-language' approaches. Similarly, the reliance of PA on the use of complex and interactive tasks is more likely…...
