Participation Trophies Hinder Kids "If I play a whole game I get a whole snow cone, but if I play a half a game I still get a whole snow cone. It's a whole snow cone either way. I'd rather play half a game." This quote is from one of Brian Regan's performances, "Lousy in Little League", where he talks about the new social norm of rewarding children for participating. While Brian Regan is a comedian, and this was meant to be funny, it does have some truth. Just as Brian Regan said, children…

1. Describe your work experience with award packaging. Award packaging is when the student’s cost of attendance and needed funds to attend a school are calculated to determine what award they’re eligible for (Pell grant, scholarships, work-study program, or student loans). I am familiar with award packaging from working at Brookhaven College Financial Aid Office, but no work experience. 2. Please describe a difficult customer service situation that you have experienced and what actions you…

bad habit of not seeing a point in trying or being motivated without a something to award them with afterwards. Participation trophies are crutches that have begun to take over the minds of those competing. Trophies are made to have a meaning. It is stated that, “Participation awards are place holders in life. They are records of accomplishment” (Priceman). At a young age, many kids see a participation award as a prize of what they have overcome. It motivates them to continue trying, however…

they played. Ashley Merryman, author of Top Dog: The Science to succeed. Instead, it can cause them to underachieve” (n. pag.). Giving children participation trophies indirectly teaches them that even if they do not succeed, they will be given an award or prize. Also, participation trophies do not give children room to make mistakes and learn from those mistakes. Because they received trophies for essentially a parent’s ability to sign them up, children will eventually develop a sense of…

Did you know trophy and award sales are now an estimated 3 billion-dollar-a-year industry in the United states and Canada? This is because trophies have become a bigger thing than a while ago. If everyone gets a trophy for just participating, Yes kids get to many trophies for just participating because if everyone gets a trophy, they will lose their meaning, and if everyone gets a trophy kids won’t know how to fail. If too many kids get trophies, they will lose their meaning. According to…

things that award your for working hard and winning something. Some think though that participation trophies are necessary for kids to gain a sense of hope which is wrong to do because things like this won't happen in life and will give them a false sense of hope and security and won't help them learn that for some things in life you might lose and not receive an award. Participation trophies are unnecessary and need to be stopped because they give kids a false sense of reality and awards them…

For recording assignments of Sound Recording Techniques 1, we as a group endeavoured to record a cover of ‘Treasure’ by Bruno Mars. The song itself was written and produced by Bruno Mars, Ari Levine and Philip Lawrence who labelled themselves as ‘The Smeezingtons’. The original song is usually associated with the genres of Disco, Pop, Funk and Soul. The Smeezingtons claim that the song was inspired by ‘Baby I’m Yours’ by Breakbot, who is a french producer and DJ who claimed that Treasure was a…

Addressing a mass amount of people in hopes to produce a clear and concise message is achievable using proper public rhetoric. “Aristotle saw the function of rhetoric as the discovery in each case of the available means of persuasion” (Griffin, 2012). Ancient rhetoricians have produce principals that guide this art of persuasion that allow the message to be clear, concise, and persuasive. The cannons of rhetoric are invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery. By using all five cannons,…

Colbie Caillat is a pop artist who loves to love love, and she’s not afraid of letting the whole world know all about it repeatedly in her 2007 hit album, Coco. Her work was far from enjoyable, but in order to fully dislike her for her work on this album, and to prevent you from picking it up, or listening to another album like it, it’s important to understand some of her past history, such as the reasons that explain her desire to get into the music business in the first place. For instance,…

John M. Darley and Bibb Latane 's essay, "When will people help in a crisis?" could argue that people have become cold and should open their eyes to what is going on around them so they do not neglect the people surrounding them. We should agree with Darley and Lanate because there are people who choose to ignore those around them even when those people are being abused. One point Darley and Latane make is that American ideology is a leading cause of a lack of response when someone is in need.…
