without the consultation of current K-12 educators (Diana, 2011). Thus, action research by current teachers is an important practice for K-12 educators to conduct in order to refine their current methods and develop effective techniques for the development of their…

The concept of sustainable development has become ubiquitous in many aspects of modern society. Most multinational corporations release annual sustainability reports and the word “sustainable” is on stickered onto cereals, water bottles, and even cars. Despite its familiarity, there is little consensus on the term’s true meaning. It means different things to different people at different times, consistently evolving as pertinent to environmental governance at the time, growing from a concept…

Fossil fuels were created by the Earth millions of years ago while the core and crust were not yet fully separated. Have been used too much and it is damaging the environment us as human beings, need to survive as a species on this planet. The amount of natural resources available to us as consumers is diminishing by the day. The fossil fuels industries produces most of the power and heat throughout the civilized parts of the globe. The big companies making millions off of the demand for energy…

1) Topic 1 – Anticipated ethical and integrity dimensions of your discipline and your planned field of research within it. It is widely accepted that research should be undertaken ethically (Steneck, 2006). Research conducted in an ethical manner ensures the protection of welfare and rights of all participants and upholds an intrinsic sense of the common good (NHMRC, 2007a; Siebar, 1992). Ethical issues exist in any kind of research (Orb, Eisenhauer & Wynaden, 2001). In particular, qualitative…

As humanity has grown and expanded we have had an incredible, and arguably, irreversible effect on our biosphere. Between our intense levels of energy consumption and the pollution as a result of that use we are stretching the planet’s ability to correct itself it the limit. The Earth goes through different stages naturally, but the human race is torn between wanting to stop it, thereby keeping with what we know, and wanting to allow the Earth to right our wrongs. We are moving towards finding…

The most important relationships you can have are with your family. Whether that be adopted family, paternal family, or the loved ones that are considered family to those without one. The relationship most intriguing to me is between father and daughter in particular. When thinking about this subject my ultimate question would be, does a father’s involvement in a daughter’s life affect their relationships with others? Is a female socially more guarded due to not being raised by both parents,…

This project will specifically address prenatal development, infant care, attachment, child development and adolescence and conduct literature…

When it comes to childhood development, a child 's first years of life are the most important time to have them learn about happiness, love, and responsibility. Dressing a child up and letting them put make-up on is not the greatest way to raise a child. Child beauty pageants are becoming a growing trend in America. These beauty pageants set false rules on beauty, as they make children believe that they have to wear make- up, fake eyelashes, jewelry, hair extensions, fake nails, and other…

Observing a child has always been a fascinating experience. It is amazing to see how differently children act in regards to child development theories. I recently observed a 4 year old little girl who I babysit periodically. My observation was conducted after school at the school I am contracted at. For the purposes of confidentiality the name of the little girl has been changed to Kaiya. I observed Kaiya the week of February 15-19 after school from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Kaiya has two older…
