America has had one hundred and fifty school shootings since 2013. Every school shooting that has happened either killed or injured an individual. One may ask how can we prevent or avoid school shootings that are happening all around the world? Everyone wants to feel safe in any environment that he or she may be in. We have to stop school shootings in any way possible.…
Devastating, frightening and incomprehensible, school shootings are hardly new to the United States of America. Statistics gathered from just ten school shootings, account for one hundred and thirty-three dead and one hundred and forty-two injured, representing the work product of America’s ten deadliest school shooters. To qualify as one of the ten deadliest, the shooter must have struck a minimum of ten individuals and caused at least five deaths. Yet, the question remains, what type of person would enter a school with the purpose to extinguish human life?…
In an age where people are trying to take guns away from law-abiding citizens; we need our guns now more than ever. Everytime there is a mass shooting this debate pops up, yet we continue to have mass shootings. If some teachers were allowed to conceal and carry guns in schools, mass shootings would dwindle. The resource officer at the Parkland shooting never went inside and 17 children died, meanwhile, the resource officer at the Maryland school shooting engaged the shooter and saved countless lives. This illustrates the effects that a capable person with a gun can have on saving the lives of children.…
As of today, there have been 3,269 gun related deaths in the United States and 12,818 gun related incidents. Fifty seven of those incidents were mass shootings, five hundred and forty were home invasions, and three hundred and ninety two were defensive use (Gun Violence Archive). Most guns used in shooting are stolen in some way or another and yet, we still think that taking away the ability to buy them will stop all of the gun violence. Guns are not going away; it is time to arm those able to carry, allow concealed carry on college campuses, and to realize that taking away guns will not stop the mass shootings.…
As I start reading the article, I found out that it was about the injuries and death caused by shooting. I felt positive about the article, but as I continue reading it I figured out that there were no specific information about School Shooting injuries or deaths. Luckily, Alter’s website had some great links that I found really helpful. I came by a really good webpage called “Firearms and Crimes” and it has really good graphs and its statistics on the ways in which guns are used to commit crimes in School. The interesting thing about this site is that the information is came from the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the U.S. Department of Justice.…
Since I wasn't able to visit my eighth graders on our usual schedule (my teaching class had an in-class day to reconnect with each other and learn information for our teaching exam- sad face.) , I felt very happy to go visit my kids today! As I entered Ms. Fentress' room when her AI students were exiting, I realized that these kids are just like high school kids. One boy was jamming out to his music, and even rapped for his classmates. It's always funny to see how their distinct personalities intertwine with one-another to make it a friendly atmosphere.…

What is sociology? Sociology is the study of social life, change, behavior and human interaction.

In sociology, there are three sociological perspectives that associate with how we view and look at society.

The suicide rate is at an all time high. Students go home and think about the day they had and depress over it. Those students build up anger and fear. The fear of them getting bullied each day stops them from attending school. If someone hears something bad about them everyday then that student will start believing that it is true.…
Students who undergo bullying find it increasingly more difficult to concentrate in class. The victims focus more on the next time they might get bullying than on the instructions given by the teacher, so they miss the lesson. As a result of this things pupils lose their positions in class. Lastly, they explain that students do not raise their hands, participate or try to find out more by asking questions about the topics being taught to them. While addressing her study on bullying published on August 19, 2010, University of California Professor Jaana Juvonen articulated that, “Students who are repeatedly bullied receive poorer grades and participate less in class discussions.…
It is now recognized that bullying has enduring adverse effects on both the bully and the victim (Sampton 2009). This aggression is especially harmful to the bullied students. The targets are more likely to experience low self-esteem issues, depression, loneliness, and anxiety. Further, they may resort to self-medication (substance abuse), become suicidal and withdraw socially (Ball 2011). Their victimization may make them lose interest in schoolwork, attain low grades, avoid school more often or even drop out altogether.…
