look at theories such as Baumrind’s typology of Parenting Style Baumrind (1971) theorised an approach that views childhood socialisation that classifies three styles of parenting; authoritative, authoritarian and permissive. The theory is a traditional view of socialisation, where parents solely determine child outcomes. Baumrind stated that the best mode of parenting is the authoritative parenting style, whilst the authoritarian parenting style is viewed as the least beneficial mode of…

My time spent in WRD 103 has been a journey full of opportunities that have helped me improve as a writer. I am so thankful that I was able to learn different styles of writing to help me gain experience in different types of writing that I have never been exposed to before. Overall, I was able to enhance and further develop my abilities as a writer by taking this class as a learning opportunity. One of my biggest challenges during this course was writing the rhetorical analysis essay. This was…

Diversity Essay As I set out to write this essay, I did what I usually do when I write. I made an outline and a few lists to help facilitate my writing. I began to draft a list of words to describe myself. The more I looked at these words the more I felt that they were just labels, like I should fit in a neat little box. A word doesn't describe me or my experiences. Those words don’t fully grasp depth of who I am as a person and what my experiences could bring to a campus like Rosalind…

half years, my scientific writing has developed tremendously through different courses and styles of lab reports. Initially I started off in my undergraduate studies by writing a few biology lab reports in my courses, however chemistry lab reports are not comparable to these lab reports, in which the content and structure are different. Once I got used to writing chemistry style lab reports, the format and style of writing changed again when I reached Quantum Mechanics. As I had taken Quantum…

and the effects it has on the children titled, “Investigating helicopter parenting, family environments, and relational outcomes for millennials.” The journal focuses on millennials, children born after 1982, and summarizes the different parenting styles and the ramifications it brings (Odenweller, Booth-Butterfield, & Weber, 2014). There are three different…

“The adults ignored him.” (pg. 223). Whether being cast off to the side or not acknowledged in the least, very rarely are we as children taken seriously in the “important” conversations. How could we have crucial ideas to contribute? We’re just kids, right? In chapter ten of Ender’s Game, Card introduces a new character named Bean. Now Bean, fresh off the shuttle, was one of the newer boys who had just arrived at the Battle School; “launchies” as the veterans called them. However, not only was…

• Keep this position as long as you can. Are there yoga positions not recommended during pregnancy? Due to varied yoga styles, there are some that are strongly prohibited when you are pregnant because they require strenuous and vigorous techniques which can be dangerous for your health. Thus, it is important that you talk to your yoga instructor which among the different styles will suit you best during this period. Normally, hot yoga, also known as Bikram yoga, needs you to be in a heated room…

In Chapter 1, “Every Trip Is a Quest (Except When It’s Not),” of How to Read Literature Like a Professor, author Thomas C. Foster claims that a quest can be defined structurally using 5 elements: (1) a quester, (2) a place to go, (3) a stated reason to go there, (4) challenges and trials en route, and (5) a real reason to go there (Paragraph 1.8). Foster’s claim allows me to view literature with a new perspective, thus improving my understanding of various works. I can assume that improving his…

THEORY OF WRITING: ITERATION III In my first theory of writing iteration, I stated that writing was communication with words. For writing to be effective, it had to fulfil a purpose and conveyed a message successfully. Although I still believe this to be true, I also declared that effective writing involved correct usage of grammar, spelling, punctuation, organization, etc. No longer agreeing with this statement, it was the initial concept that challenged the way I view effective writing that…

When most economists evaluate educational programs such as private schooling, they measure only short-term results – and for good reason, too. Tracking long-term outcomes not only drains research dollars, but also hinders impatient policy-makers from implementing improvements before the next election cycle. Even if economists had all the funds (and time) in the world, reaching out a decade later to the participants of a research study is a formidable task. In a pinch, extrapolating the…
