Unfortunately, in what concerns the educational system, black boys do not receive the support needed and they are constantly punished instead of being showed a better alternative of living and learning. Our educational system should focus on providing every child with an equal education, irrespective of his cultural background.
If parents would be more concerned with their children education and if our schools would focus more on rehabilitating a troubled child than punishing him, perhaps black boys would have a better life and higher chances of success.

obstacles physician patient relationship. Must include quotes citation Deborah Tannen writing "Talk the Intimate Relationship"
Obstacles to a good physician-patient relationship

The physician-patient relationship is one of the most intimate and important relationships in many individual's lives. For the relationship to function in an optimal fashion, patients must often share information about their lifestyle habits, personal aspirations, sexuality, and feelings about their spouses with their physicians. However, a physician's desire to maintain a professional distance can result in communication barriers that inhibit the sharing of such thoughts and feelings. Examining some of the barriers that exist between patients and physicians, using some of the ideas and concepts from relationship therapy, and the differences between men and women can be useful. For example, according to Deborah Tannen's essay "Talk: The Intimate Relationship," the reason men and women often experience barriers to intimacy and a full and free flow of dialogue is that…...

Demo Obstacles
Democratic Obstacles to Liberty: Evidence from the Occupy Protests

Already a distant memory to most of the nation, if indeed they registered as more than the faintest blip on someone's field attention in the first place, the Occupy protests that swept through most major cities in the United States and several cities around the world were demonstrative both of the spirit of liberty that is still strong among some in this nation, and the problems that occur when this liberty meets the institutions established by a long-stagnant democracy. Some insist that the protests were not a failure, in that they reinvigorated national debate on a range of issues and actually made some concrete gains in areas such as the way banks treat their customers and the way cities treat their citizens. An honest look at the world about six months after the height of the protests tells a very different…...

social media and instant communication pose obstacles to such reflection and serious thinking? How can college students practice serious reflection in our always-connected and instantaneous world?
Just like virtually every student of my generation, I feel a need to be constantly 'connected.' I have a cellphone that I check obsessively and when I am doing schoolwork, my Twitter, Facebook, and other social media accounts are always open. To justify my virtual addiction, I remind myself that not all of my online pursuits are frivolous. I read The New York Times online; when someone challenges me with a fact or a quote, I feel reasonably confident that I can find a reliable online source to research what they have claimed. But along with that instantaneous ability to explore new ideas and meet new people, I do believe that something has been lost, in terms of the way my generation apprehends the…...

ELLs: Identification and Intervention
Why the Overrepresentation of ELLs in the Classroom

Artiles, ueda, Salazar and Higareda (2005) state that ELLs are overrepresented in the classroom because of a "tendency to overestimate the homogeneity of populations by failing to disaggregate factors such as language proficiency or to consider social class or program type" (p. 283). In other words, administrators and teachers are not recognizing diversity enough in the schools and are therefore expecting same-level ability from minority groups that may be quite proficient at learning languages, as manifested by their ability to understand multiple languages at once. Similarly, another contributing factor to overrepresentation is the lack of efficient identification models (ueda, Windmueller, 2006). Teachers are not taking contextual analysis in to play when performing diagnoses and are therefore missing ethnic and racial factors that are causing students to be misrepresented. Sullivan (2011) also identifies the cause of overrepresentation as being related to…...

While I believe that overcoming these obstacles will probably take the most effort, I think that this effort should be spent. Keeping these attitudes really leaves a person locked "inside the box."
Fifth and finally, environmental obstacles are discussed as those incidents that occur in a person's physical environment. People, work environment, and other "specific, observable features of our surroundings" (2-27) are what the authors define as environmental obstacles. Environmental obstacles can be difficult to overcome because, sometimes, there is little that a person can do about overcoming them. For instance, if a particular person is difficult to deal with, some people aren't sure how to resolve the conflict. Resolving the conflict, or thinking of resolving it, can often cause stress, which leads to other obstacles. The authors cite not having enough time as one of the most common environmental obstacles, as supervisors require work to be done quickly. Not…...

Health Care Management
Obstacles to change in Health Care management.

There are a nearly infinite number of things that can go wrong for a health care manager, and out of the two major problems that can arise, staff relationship problems and stresses over financial constraints, the more trying of the two managing the financial interests of the facility within the constraints from senior staff and management. The health care facility is in place to provide the highest quality care for a patient who is in need. The goal of those in the health care industry is to help the person with the talent, skill, medications and procedures which will aid the persons healing and recovery. When the hospital commander or staff decide that the profit margin is not high enough, the pressure arise at the level of the staff management and staff to find a way to reduce costs, or to be…...

Medicare and Medicaid

Medicare and Medicaid were formally enacted as amendments to the Social Security Act in 1965. These programs guarantee health insurance for the elderly and the poor. The Medicare program covers most persons age 65 or older and consists of four related health insurance plans, a hospital insurance plan, a supplementary medical insurance plan, and two privately run plans, Medicare Advantage and prescription drug coverage (Mazie, 2012).

The Medicaid health insurance program is designed for low-income persons under age 65 and persons over that age that have exhausted their Medicare benefits. Hospital care, physicians' services, skilled nursing care, home health services, family planning, and diagnostic screening are covered by the plan. The program is funded by the Federal Government and the states. To participate in the plan, states are required to offer Medicaid…...

The economic obstacles of attaining a college degree in modern day American society are significant. ith rising tuition costs rising, along with other necessary materials including books and technology, there are so many different points in which the economic burden of attaining a college degree get to be too much of a burden and may drop out. Every student comes from different walks of life, with different financial situations, so the breaking point for each student may be different. There are many economic obstacles that individuals can encounter over the course of attaining a college degree. Hopefully, there are more reductions in tuition, scholarships that are attainable and programs that can help keep students in school and keep the economic burden of attaining a degree to a lower costs. The importance of education cannot be emphasized enough, it is with that desire to attain a college degree and hopefully, overcome…...

Thus, providing development teams more problems during the testing process.
Lee J. White, in his study Domain Testing and Several Outstanding Research Problems in Program Testing indicates that in the area of program testing, there are several significant problems which need to be addressed.

White indicates some of these problems include the following.

The determination of a scientifically sound basis for the selection of test data

The development of program specifications which can be used to both generate test data and also ascertain the correctness of program output.

The development of relationships between program testing and formal verification.

Jorgensen and Erickson (1999), on the other hand, focused on software integration as a cause of problems in software testing. Such integration presents problems because new test relationships need to be established between the integrated modules. Unlike in a per module software testing, which limits a test on the specific functionalities of a module, testing integrated modules…...

Legal Obstacles
What are the legal obstacles to data mining? What problems could occur? What solutions would you propose?

The legal obstacles to data mining are data ownership, privacy of the data, and the expected results (Jensen, Jensen, & Brunak, 2012). When conducting data mining, it is vital that the researcher establishes who owns the data. Failure to do this would result in legal issues. The person who is entitled to it at any particular time owns the data. Data miners should ensure they know who the data owner is before data mining is conducted. Privacy of the data is another obstacle to data mining. Patients who submit their information to a health care facility would want a guarantee that their data will not be used for other purposes without their consent. Patient privacy should be respected at all times in the process of data mining. The expected results for data mining…...

They are telling me that for years they wished I would stop but they did not want to nag me for fear it would only make me smoke more. Those who did nag me were so overjoyed at my decision to change my behavior that they have acted warmly towards me and offer endless works of encouragement and support. As a result, I have truly come to appreciate the value of close friends who become willing to be honest. I have also realized the extent to which some of my close friends and family love and care about me. The effect on my psyche is overwhelmingly positive.

Internal Factors That Might Impede the Development of a Successful Financial Strategic Plan:
The University of California is one of the largest, highest-quality public university systems in the United States. It has been a source of affordable public education for generations of Californians. However, because of the state's recent financial crisis, these premiere universities have been forced to severely cut back on services to students and there are worries about retaining the system's quality and low cost for California residents. The need to improve financial efficiency while maintaining services is something that all government institutions are required to do, but the need becomes especially acute when dealing with the access to education (Quehel 2008).

The University of California's Commission on the Future recommended that the university system "encourage more students to graduate in three years; create a pilot project to offer 30 to 40 classes online system-wide to help overcrowding; pursue greater…...

Counseling
When someone is asked to give examples of heroines in society today, the picture that immediately comes to a mind is that of renowned athletes, authors, or politicians; rarely would anyone include single mothers in their list of heroines. One could then ask, how would one describe a person who is a nursemaid during the day, a mother by night, and the sole breadwinner who has to attend to the bills and ensure her kids have something to eat, as well as "decent clothing so they can go to school and look like they belong to somebody" (Huda, 2001, p. 341)? Single mothers are heroines in their own way, but sadly, they also happen to be a vulnerable population that runs a high risk of poor physical and mental health. Their lifestyle forces them to take up the role of a mother as well as that of a father. This,…...

What unique challenges if any do OD practitioners face when dealing with a public sector intervention rather than a private sector one? Explain thoroughly.
Certain concepts of organizational development are common to all organizations, such as the idea that people function differently in groups and the need to motivate individuals to perform their essential organizational functions with transformational as well as purely transactional rewards. But not all organizations are created alike. It is important for organizational development (OD) practitioners to keep this in mind when assisting organizations in the public versus private sector. Public sector entities are not constructed to make a profit but, as their name suggests, exist to serve the needs of the public. They have different accountability structures and often have very different organizational cultures.

In fact, according to Stupak & Moore (1987), one of the first challenges of any organizational development practitioner dealing with a public entity is…...
