whipped daily … Etta Wheeler, a concerned, caring woman did not relent in her struggle to rescue the child … Mary Ellen was removed from the home … was adopted by a new family and with the nurturing she received, began to thrive” (Krupinski & Weikel, 1986, p. 98). This quote shows that with the intervention of an adult, a child can be rescued from the abuse they endure. This supports the argument for an adult to intervene when they see child abuse because it shows that an adult needed to…

Zhiyuan Li Philosophy 3000 In his paper Realism and Skepticism: Brains in a Vat Revisited, Graeme Forbes tries to articulate Putnam’s brains in a vat (BIV) argument. According to Forbes (1995), in order for a normally embodied thinker to think about concepts such as brain, in and vat, she “must somehow be informationally linked to” instances of those concepts (206). However, Forbes does not consider (and it seems to me that he does not think he needs to consider) what particular sorts of…

2.1.3 Company size Several studies have reported a negative link between firm size and short run underpricing (Megginson & Weiss, 1991, Ibbotson, Sindelar & Ritter, 1994; Carter, Dark & Singh, 1998). Younger and smaller companies are more underpriced because they are riskier (Ritter, 1984; Ritter, 1991; Megginson & Weiss, 1991). Michelsen and Klein (2011) argue that company size acts as a primary role when the firm was making decision on whether to go private or not. According to the authors,…

Critical Reflection on Learning Theory in Early Childhood How children learn during their early childhood is a question that has been forefront in the minds of educators, theorists, and psychologists, among others, for centuries. Despite of this, the answer to the question of how children learn is yet to receive a concrete answer. On the contrary, learning theory in early childhood is ever evolving with new theories often devised out of a critique of their precursor. One learning theory that…

How Humour can benefit workplace relations and improve employee satisfaction Humour is multifunctional, it can be used in organisations to achieve many positive objectives (Cruthirds & Romero 2006). Humour within the workplace can be defined by the groups of people and the behaviours from the company. Humour can impact both horizontal and vertical relationships in an organisation, as well as the interpersonal relationship that is underlying (Cooper 2008). Humour can provide valuable benefits;…

Research question An analysis of alcohol consumption among King David High School students Motivation Recently I watched a movie called 10 Things I Hate About You (1999). One of the main characters of the movie: ‘Kat’, is a teenager in high school who does not fit in with her peers and completely rejects social norms. One night she unwillingly, after incessant pleading of her socially ‘regular’ sister, attends a party. After having a difficult time trying to be comfortable at this party she…

For almost as long as complex societies have existed, there have been debates and discussions concerning the characteristics that contribute to the long-term stability of these entities. Scholars have also given much thought to the different reason that led to the collapse of complex societies, nations, and empires. Over the years, it has been possible to identify several different factors, which in many cases overlap, that are used by historians and social scientists to explain the collapse of…

(McWhinney et al, 1986). After this opening question I observed the golden minute that is now discussed widely during GP training. Although consultation models do not refer directly to a “golden minute” they do encompass it particularly McWhinney’s model where it states “the key to the patient-centred method, as its name implies, is to allow as much as possible to flow from the patient. The crucial skill is to be receptive to cues offered by the patient” (McWhinney et al, 1986). The second…

correlated well to field observation of drought resistance (Bannister 1986; Bannister and Kissel 1986; Abrams et al 1990), or even to minimal water potentials (Davis and Mooney 1986, a, b). A variety of contrasting, compensating physiological changes may occur as water is lost; e.g., open stomata allow water potential to decline while photosynthesis continues, or closed stomata prevent both low and photosynthesis (Bannister and Kissel 1986; Schulz et al 1987; Guehl et al 1991). The basal water…

Charismatic leadership became a topic of great awareness after a renewal of the scientific field of leadership in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s which incorporated a raise of publication and the expansion of leadership theory (Conger & Hunt, 1999). Conger and Kanungo have collected a model of charismatic leadership components in organizations in 1987, to screen off the concept. This model was after that confirmed by a factorial analysis with powerfully believable results (Conger & Kanungo,…
