Child Abuse
.... reported the incident to my chain of command, wrote up my observations, then had to wait patiently to see what would happen. The result - nothing. Child Protective Services said the report was not submitted within 24 hours, so they couldn't do anything. We had another case that we reported just two weeks ago to Child Protective Services. Another five- year old was involved. The teacher noticed a bite mark on his cheek. She asked him what happened, and he responded "my dad bit me." The teacher asked .....

Constructivism
.... constructivism considers knowledge of the world outside as human construction, although a reality outside the individual is not denied it is claimed that all we know about reality is our own tentative construction.

Each and every year the pollution of the air and water takes its toll, causing diseases, and shortening lives. The economic cost annually is .....

Animal Testing
.... experiments are preformed repeatedly on them without anesthesia. For something like cosmetics this is ridiculous. Karen Stevens, the founder and president of the organization All For Animals, founded in 1992, says; "There is no law that requires companies to test their personal care and household products on animals before selling them to consumers"
It is already known that there are ingredients that are perfectly safe for our skin. We know that making cosmetics does not require animal testing. .....

.... discussing which experiments will be beneficial, the philosophical and ethical aspects must be looked at. Experiments that are felt as necessary and are carried out by scientist should not cause any pain or distress to the animals being used in the experiment. Peter Singer’s “utilitarian”(Singer, pg. 79) view, weighs the pain and distress felt by the animals against the benefits derived from such tests. “. . . that because there is small benefit to science compared to the pain experienced by .....

Why Teens Are So Stressed Out
.... during the night to complete assignments. This leads to a severe loss of valuable sleep. After having to get up with only two or three hours of sleep behind them, a teen is very sleepy and aggressive. Most under-rested teens are angered very quickly. School work also leads to a lack of free time. If a teen is always working, he or she will have very little time to do anything else. This leaves desires unfulfilled and hobbies unpracticed. For example, if a teenage girl enjoys playing the piano but .....

"The Typical Abnormal Teen"
.... to be understood is one of the trademark characteristics of the typical teenager. Throughout the novel, Holden acts the way he does because no one seems to share his view of the world; no one understands what is going on in his head.
Holden also uses colloquial speech instead of forming sentences with proper words and grammar. Many reviews of The Catcher in the Rye say Holden's words "accurately capture the informal speech of the average intelligent, educated, northeastern American adolescent". Most .....

The Family Is A Social Institution
.... family to provide emotional and intimate ambience to come back to. Our society has moved away from the traditional nuclear families towards extended families, blended families, childless marriages, single parents etc. The key word now is variety where multi-generation households are making a comeback.
My views on family and marriage have remained more or less the same since early childhood. Indian marriage as it stands today is a very old institution. To outsiders it seems strange if not outright absur .....

Teen Pregnancy
.... to resist peer pressure or temptation, I feel, as though they should resort to abstinence.
Abstinence is without a question the best policy, and should be emphasized as not just the preferred choice, but the safest- to prevent pregnancy as well as some diseases that range from troublesome to deadly. Abstinence gives teens a better chance to develop into successful adults. In addition to what moral codes say about premarital sex, few would disagree that its simply not a good idea to experiment with so .....
