sexuality: Scholarly vs. popular media source comparison
Scholarly article

According to Roberts (et al. 2010), sexuality is becoming increasingly viewed as a commodity in the discourse of the western urban economy. Various terms that have been applied to this new emerging culture include 'striptease culture' and a 'pleasure-saturated culture' in which highly sexualized services and images such as lap-dancing have become mainstreamed and common (Roberts et al. 2010). Contrary to stereotypes that only lower-class women participate in the sex trade out of desperation, there has been a growing trend towards normalizing exotic dancing and other once-fringe aspects of the sex industry. For example, some students are resorting to sex work as a way of paying off exorbitant student loans. Previous studies have found that mitigating factors to students entering the sex industry include "family support, boyfriends, body image, self-confidence, and a lack of knowledge of (how to enter) the sex industry"…...

Scholars must use reliable information to build new conclusions and arguments of their own. If the information they use to build an argument is in any way flawed or unreliable, their entire conclusion can thus be in jeopardy. As such, one way to ensure that the information a scholar compiles is valid enough is to use peer reviewed articles from reliable academic journals. Peer reviewed articles have the their advantages, as well as some disadvantages, but in the end are the best choice for scholarly research.
In this exercise, a peer reviewed article was chosen to be used as a source of analysis for the peer review process. Leung (2013) wrote the article "Generational Differences in Content Generation in Social Media: The oles of the Gratifications Sought and of Narcissism" for the scholarly journal Computers and Human Behavior that was accessed through the Elsevier database. The journal explores how past,…...

This study situates place-based education in the context of critical pedagogy in order to provide a framework for art education with a focus on ecology. The study asserts that the local places are marginalized and undermined by the emphasis on consumption in the global sense. Ecological issues, such as destroyed habitats, deteriorating wilderness, alienation, homelessness, and detachment are all the felt effects of global economies. The study uses a critical place-based pedagogical framework to show how ecology can be supported in art education and why it is important to do so for both society and the environment, and why art education is a suitable vehicle for this approach.

The study is loosely constructed and lacks a definite approach to its subject. The study itself…...

Vincent, M., Clearie, A., Schluchter, M. (1987). Reducing adolescent pregnancy through school and community-based education. JAMA, 257(24): 3382-3386.

The study looks at residents of one half of a county in South Carolina and the impact that an education intervention has had on it. The intervention is supposed to have reduced the occurrence of unintended pregnancies in unwed teens. Through community-based education, this intervention was implemented. The effect of the intervention after four years of implementation is a marked/significant reduction in unintended pregnancies among unwed young women (14-17 years of age). The study shows that community-based education has been extremely helpful in meeting the objectives of the intervention, as it shows a significant correlation between the educational approach and the intended outcome of the intervention within the community, especially in comparison with three control group residences where no such approach was utilized.

The study provides a quantitative assessment using a correlation analysis of the results of the intervention to show the merits of the community-based education system. While correlation does not mean causation, the study's strength is in its dependence upon quantifiable data and it essentially lets the data speak for itself. It explains the problem at the outset, tells what happened with the outcome. Measures the results against those of other counties that used a different approach, shows that the community-based approach was more effective in meeting the objectives, and provides an argument for why it was. The study is helpful in supplying evidence for its arguments and it does not indicate any bias within the research.

Driving nowadays has become a relatively common aspect of every day life. More and more people are inseparable from their cars, motorcycles or other private means of transportation. As the number of people using private vehicles increases, so does the number of serious accidents on the motorways. One of the reasons for these accidents is drunk driving which has become a serious concern not only for the authorities but also for the civil society. There are a lot of aspects that can be taken into account when discussing possible means through which the number of fatal casualties as well as injuries can be reduced. Given that the civil society and the population at large has an immense role in…...

Franklin was a natural scientist, one who was fascinated with the natural world and who was also dedicated to documenting and understanding its workings. Morgan notes that Franklin was "continually designing experiments" and "had the same curiosity about the world that drives today's scientists," (8; 9). Franklin was, therefore, ahead of his time, and as Morgan states, felt he was "born too soon," (ix).
Morgan's biography is well-organized and straightforward but is not strictly chronological. hile he attempts to offer a basically linear account of Franklin's life in the context of his many achievements, Morgan presents Franklin's life more in terms of overarching themes than of how the man proceeded from childhood through old age. For example, Morgan begins by describing Franklin's fascination with the oceanic world, which led him to investigate other scientific processes and manifestations including lightening. Moreover, Franklin's spirituality and religiosity followed him throughout his career, influencing…...

Alfred Adler: A short literature review

Alfred Alder is one of the most noteworthy early psychologists to break from the Freudian model and to provide a new way of conceptualizing the human consciousness beyond the Freudian model of repression. Alfred's psychoanalytic theory developed as a "reaction to Freud's theories on the development of the self. Adler split with Freud over the centrality of sexuality in the formation of personality (Dewey, 1991). In contrast to Freud, Adler expressed the view that human behavior is holistic (nonreductive), ideological (goal-driven), and socially oriented" (Peluso et al. 2004). Adler believed that based on family relationships, by the time a child is 6, he or she has developed a 'style of life' through which he or she interacts with the world. Key to developing normally was developing a social interest, or way of relating to others in a manner that affirms the…...

But it may be that there lurked in them some trace of the impatient contempt with which the medical profession of an earlier day regarded the neuroses, seeing in them the unnecessary results of invisible lesions." (Freud, 1937, p. 373)This is to say that, from Freud's perspective, it had been historically the presumption of the therapy process that the speed with which one was treated and addressed was to a high priority. To this point, it had previously been seen that those who defied treatment with this level of expediency were beyond the reach of therapeutic methods. Freud discounted this position, instead making the primary argument that the length of time for some patients could be seen as necessarily prolonged. Indeed, Freud even points to the likelihood that some subjects would benefit from an interminable course of therapy in which regular consultation could help to alleviate the pressures of…...

Critically evaluating leadership theories

Defining what makes great leadership often seems like trying to capture lightning on camera: everyone agrees it is spectacular, but it is very difficult to encapsulate and define what it clearly is in a manner that is truly representative of its power. That is why so many people say that great leaders are born, not made. However, throughout the ages, various theorists have attempted to define what makes a great leader in a reasoned and analytical fashion.

One of the most common views of leadership can be summed up as the 'great man' concept of leadership -- the idea that leaders must be charismatic and motivate with their personalities as well as give directives. This concept still has common currency…...

academic or scholarly writing. The biggest thing is the professionalism that goes into the work.. A good piece of scholarly writing requires that the researcher has developed genuine scholarship in the field. It is the knowledge and quality of the research that determines whether something is scholarly writing or not, not the quality of writing. So basically, you need to start by learning as much as you can about the subject, approaching your research from a number of different angles. That also means using the best sources.
Source are important. Generally, sources are academic in nature themselves. You can make exceptions where data are concerned -- an economist or archaeologist will use primary source data for example, but you must build everything around research and scholarly work that has been peer reviewed. The key to the peer review system is that the author of the work has it reviewed by…...

copying the ideas of the other writers in your works without acknowledging the sources. In other words, plagiarism is the act of taking the written works of others writers with the intention of transferring the contents as your own works without citing the references. A paraphrasing is the method that writers can employ to avoid plagiarism, and one of the challenges that many writers face when completing their course works is the method of paraphrasing without falling into plagiarism.
Objective of this paper is to discuss the strategy of presenting the scholarly writing without falling into plagiarism. The paper also paraphrases part of the contents from the paper of O'Conner, (2003).
