Introduction Several learning disabilities exhibit symptoms that are very similar to Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). These disorders affect sensory perception. One is Audio Processing Disorder (APD), another is Visual Processing Disorder (VPD), and the third is Sensory Processing Disorder (VPD). This paper defines these four disorders, explores commonalities among symptoms, and offers suggestions of accommodations that could help in a classroom where multiples of these…

Is Sexual Education Important? Since the beginning of public education, sexual education courses have been a controversial topic. With the hope to avoid offending parents, guardians, teachers, students, or religious beliefs, it has been shoved under the rug and expected to be taught in the home. With this approach, what happens to those children with parents who don’t believe in educating their kids about sexual activity? When they experience adolescence or even adulthood, they are responsible…

As of October 2015, the Guttmacher Institute, a New York-based research organization, found that twenty-two states and the District of Columbia mandate sex education -- and eighteen require that information on contraception be provided (Toppo). With only twenty-two states and the District of Columbia mandating sex education, so many young adults and students are missing out on the proper education they need to make decisions about their sex lives. The United States is failing these young…

connection between the increase of amount of women graduates around 1970 and the rise of marriage age after 1972 and how exactly these events were influenced by the spread of oral contraceptives. The main question of the paper was whether the birth control pill and the legislation that enabled young women to obtain it altered women’s career plans and the age at first marriage. During the research the authors found out that yes, they indeed did, increasing the overall marriage age and devoting…

Recently I did my observation at Chime Institute 's Schwarzenegger Community School in a first-grade class that consisted of about twenty students both those of who have disabilities and do not. These students are typically six years old and at the time there was one teacher and one assistant who led the class. In the classroom, there was also one paraprofessional for the student with special needs. The mother of the child was also there guiding her daughter and helping with any questions the…

and Adam Diaz were ideal ‘criminals’ to analyse using theories that we discussed in class. I will be using four theories to explain why those two characters were committing criminal acts. The four theories I plan to use are learning theory, self control theory, general strain theory, and differential association. I would like to start with Michael Dowd. He was known to be fearless, he was known to not care if he got busted, and he learned a lot of this behavior because of his fellow peers. One…

with actuators, electronics, network connectivity and sensors that enable them to collect and exchange data leading to an infrastructure of the information society. Through the sensors and internet connectivity, Internet of Things enables the remote control of these physical devices. It facilitates the integration of the physical world into computer based systems. Thus, efficiency is improved, as well as economic benefit and accuracy. The embedded computing system enables each…

The first hormonal birth control pill, Enovid, was approved by the Federal Drug Administration in 1690. Hormonal contraceptives work by combining estrogen, the female sexual hormone, and progestin, a derivative of progesterone that prevents ovulation, together to inhibit ovulation and create an inhabitable cervical environment for both sperm and embryos. Therefore, oral contraceptives effectively block the fertility cycle by not allowing sperm to meet an egg or implantation of a fertilized fetus…

Less than sixty years ago, women would not have had this privilege, but instead would heavily rely on men to provide some sort of birth control method. However, thanks to Margaret Sanger, women have the right to choose their form of birth control. Sanger’s legacy consists of many, even now, controversial movements, including the legalization of women’s birth control, the creation of Planned Parenthood clinics and the start of a revolution in sex education for women. She is also seen by many as a…

In this course my fellow classmates and I had to complete 6 hours of volunteering at a local area, whether it was at a nursing home, food bank, or helping at a local organization. I took the opportunity to volunteer at the Frederick 4H Therapeutic Riding Program. This program offers individuals with disabilities to ride a horse in order to build their social skills, build their motor skills, and give them confidence. This organization states, “Our Mission is to encourage and provide Frederick…
