1. The first research study that I analyzed is The Effect of a Professional Development Classroom Management Model on At-Risk Elementary Students’ Misbehaviors by Dr. Gary Reglin, Dr. Joretta Akpo-Sanni, and Dr. Nonofo Losike-Sedimo. The copyright to the article is by Project Innovation and it was published in Fall 2012. I found the study through a search on ERIC (Educational Reform Information Center) by using the search terms ‘Classroom Management’ and ‘Discipline’. The reason that I chose…

It shows that early life parental divorce place parents at a large risk of poor health at age 50 primarily because it leads to a decline in families’ socioeconomic status, an elevated risk of behavioral problems in late childhood, and an increased propensity to smoke in adulthood parents provide the basic needs of a family of eating, wearing, drinking, education and healthcare. Families face many challenges during all stages of raising children. In this research, we will review how can social…

are classified as obese”(CDC). As these numbers continue to grow, people are beginning to question the cause of this epidemic. There are several factors contributing to Americas weight problem including increased production of processed foods, socioeconomic status, unhealthy diets, and lack of exercise. Although, the current way of food production in America is extremely efficient, several studies have found that processed foods have an ultimately negative…

The world encompasses many different cultures, which governs way of living. Culture is defined as the characteristics that mutually make up societies or groups of people identified by beliefs, behaviours and customs. Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of social reproduction formed from culture studies created the concept cultural capital. Divided into three types of cultural capital aspects embodied, objectified and institutionalised state all contributing to shaping lifestyles and individuals. Presence,…

opinion. Along with that, I have gained quite a bit of knowledge about how parental involvement can be a huge factor in their child’s education. For some reason, I believed that families with a lower socioeconomic status would have more chances for involvement in education than parents in a high socioeconomic status. I could take on that perspective because I grew up with parents that fall under a high SES, but they were never involved in anyway with my…

as an individual living in a developed country, I believe in a socioeconomic status perspective in which mobility of classes is possible. Furthermore, with the amount of potential in this country, this motivates me to continue pushing in order to move on the continuum of class. According to the Martin (2012), earning a college degree represents a chance at “a better life” and an opportunity for “getting out” from under the socioeconomic hardship in which the lower class are raised (pg.63). Even…

is a time of growing up, moving from the immaturity of childhood into the maturity of adulthood, of preparation of the future (Steinberg, 2014). There are many factors that contribute to the behavior of adolescence, such as family structure, socioeconomics, parenting techniques, medical conditions, and depression. Therefore, as a teacher, knowing and understanding these factors can have a large impact on the student’s academic achievement. This holds true because “teachers set the tone for…

I heard once that it does not matter where you come from, but where you are going. While this quote conveys a very powerful message, it is simply a dream for many of the people that I’ve grew up with over the years. Some of my friends can only wish for a chance to have a better life or even to move out of a neighborhood where people are shot in their backyards. As we have learned in various class lectures, the overall environment in which you grow up plays a major role in our development, well…

a day to day basis. Similar to Jansen et al. (2012), Due et al.( 2009) provided a Family affluence scale which also measured the socioeconomic status of families. Questions included if the family owns a car, how many computers the family owns, and how often the family goes on vacation. Results similarly indicated that adolescent participants from lower socioeconomic status families are more prone to be in bullying situations. In a study on Adolescent bullying amongst different ethnicities,…
