Racist Bullying in Secondary Schools - Research Proposal
WORD COUNT: 1790 DISCOVERING SOCIETY 000516005 Racist Bullying in Secondary Schools. Introduction: Bullying among school children is a phenomenon with a long history. Even still, very little is actually known about the causes, the level of presence and the methods and reactions to the methods employed to curb it. Racially directed bullying is even less known about than bullying in general. This is not because the topic lacks personal and social importance; rather it is a taboo subject which must be approached with caution. Being subjected to bullying can be very distressing and in the most extreme of cases it may even on occasion lead to suicide or violent retaliation from those victimised. Those committing the bullying may from a relatively young age be set on a course for later antisocial behaviour and delinquency which is not only disruptive for the individual but also for those close to them, not to mention for the rest of society. Yet, we know rather little about the extent of bullying, and the forms it takes; while attempts to deal with bullying problems in school remain intermittent and uncoordinated. Research has been carried out with the aim of gaining an insight into bullying in secondary schools. However, this is not enough and further research must be implemented in order to make positive progress in regards to racist bullying in secondary schools. Aims:
Different types of primary and secondary market research
Unit 10 P1 Different types of primary and secondary research Market research is an essential part of any business plan, whether it is a fledgling business or a multinational organization. Knowing that there is a sustainable market for your product and understanding of what your audience expects from you is vital from a successful business launch. . Primary research is when the creation of your own research, whether it is a question you ask to your friends and family or a survey put together alongside, agency and managed to a wide panel. Primary research will instantly make you feel more in control of your project. You choose your questions and select your panel through qualitative research, allowing you detailed responses from an individual person. You decide how, when and where your research will be managerial. You can ensure that your research is focused: the number of participants and their backgrounds, the number of nature of the questions, the number of time that your survey is available. Types of primary research: Observation: watching how consumers behave provides many insights, but can leave questions unanswered. Observation works well in retail markets; sit outside a shop and watch how many people walk by, look at a window display etc. Experimentation: Marketers often undertake experiments to measure how the use of one marketing variable affects
Mayfield data handling
Introduction For this piece of coursework, I'm going to look at Mayfield High School. I was given data on Key stage 2 subject results. There were 19 spreadsheet pages of data which had the number, Year Group, gender, IQ and KS2 subject results of the students who attend Mayfield High School. Statistical information shows that there are 1,183 students in total, of which there are: 282 students in Year 7 270 students in Year 8 261 students in Year 9 200 students in Year 10 170 students in Year 11. Also the statistics show that 4 students in Mayfield High School achieved KS2 level 0 17
Data Handling - Plan
Data Handling Mayfield High School Coursework; Plan I am going to collect data and evidence to support (or not support) the both assumptions made by me. To collect the data, I will have to do survey's and questionnaires so I have enough statistics to start a piece of coursework to prove the assumptions I'll be making. This is called "Primary Data". I will not be using that, instead of that I'll be using "Secondary Data" meaning you don't have to do surveys or ask people to fill in questionnaires regarding my assumptions for this particular coursework which will help me end with a accurate, correct and reliable conclusions; so it's convenient and saves a lot of time. Secondary data which I've been given is based on a fictional school named "Mayfield High School" but only recording junior school, the school is fictional but the data's based on or been obtained from a real school. The disadvantages of using secondary data are: * You could be unaware of who and how it was collected * The data collected could be either prejudiced or incomplete There are also advantages of using secondary data and are: * Its easier, faster and cheap to acquire * It will probably indicate the starting point I don't see any harm in using it for my project since my teacher delivered me the data so it must be accurate and reliable enough to work with. Different data is recorded for

Appropriate data collection methods Research problem Definition of the research problem is v important Identify whether Baileys Minis is going to reach any more of the liqueur market or just
Data handling coursework
GCSE data handling maths coursework Introduction: I was given a database full of information from a secondary school. This is called secondary data because I didn't collect it myself. I am going to compare the height and weight because I know that their bodies will go through some changes. Students are guaranteed to go through puberty some time while in secondary school. When this happens it means that the child is turning into an adult. Hypothesis: . I believe that the taller the person the more they weigh because a taller person is bigger than a smaller so they will generally weight more than smaller people. 2. I think that there is a stronger correlation between height and weight in Y7 and Y9 because I believe that if we put the data in a scatter diagram the data for Y7 there will be not much difference but for the Y9 they will be a lot more spread out. 3. I think y7 girls are taller than y7 boys but y11 boys taller are taller than y11 girls because year 7 girls go through puberty before boys so they will be taller but in year 11 the boys will be bigger because they have been through puberty later. 4. I think growth for boys is greatest in year 9 but for girls is in year 8 because girls go through puberty before boys so they will grow before boys and boys grow later than girls so that is why boys tend to grow more in year 9 than in year 8 Plan: * To prove right
The aim of this project is to define the boundary of the CBD of Stamford through an investigation with the use of both primary and secondary data.
Introduction The aim of this project is to define the boundary of the CBD of Stamford through an investigation with the use of both primary and secondary data. Hypothesis: These are a few hypotheses on which my investigation would be focused and based on: . Number of Pedestrians will increase towards the CBD 2. There will be more parking restrictions towards the CBD 3. There will be less residential and more commercial land use towards the CBD 4. The shopping quality and street appearance will improve towards the CBD 5. There will be more street furniture and CCTV cameras towards the CBD The Central Business District Before going further, it is important that we have a complete understanding of what a CBD is. CBD is the central area and the focal point of a city or town. It is the commercial, retail, social and cultural centre with a large concentration of shops, public buildings, offices and various entertainments. These are some of the main characteristics of the CBD: . It is usually the geographical centre and the oldest part of a settlement 2. It is very accessible as there is a convergence of public transport networks and roads to allow larger threshold of customers. 3. Due to its accessibility, it has a high population density and this result in high land values. 4. The high land values encourage the developoment of taller buildings to save precious land
Use available evidence to gather and present data from secondary sources and analyse progress in the development and use of a named biopolymer.
Biopolymers "Use available evidence to gather and present data from secondary sources and analyse progress in the development and use of a named biopolymer. This analysis should name the specific enzyme(s) used or organism used to synthesise the material and an evaluation of the use or potential use of the polymer produced related to its properties." . Introduction a) Polymers A polymer is a generic term used to describe a substantially long molecule. This long molecule consists of structural units and repeating units strung together through chemical bonds. The process of converting these units to a polymer is called polymerization. These units are called monomers, which are typically small molecules of low molecular weight.1 Over 99% of all plastics are made from non-renewable natural resources, which are finite, for example, oil, coal or natural gas.3 Waste management is a major problem for plastics because they produce large amounts of waste, which can be bad for the environment. b) Biopolymers A biopolymer is a naturally occurring polymer generated using natural resources like plants and micro-organisms. Biopolymers are polymers that are generated from renewable natural sources, are often biodegradable, and not toxic to produce.4 Starch, proteins and peptides, DNA, and RNA are all examples of biopolymers, in which the monomer units. The polymer primary
To create three different hypotheses related to tourism and tourists in Dubai that can be tested using a range of primary and secondary data collection techniques.
Introduction Aim: The broad context of this project is based on the ' managing tourism' part of my geography course. The aim of this project is to study the reasons of the rapid growth of tourism in Dubai and the different ways of identifying and classifying the different types of tourists that visit Dubai. Objective: To create three different hypotheses related to tourism and tourists in Dubai that can be tested using a range of primary and secondary data collection techniques. Hypothesis 1: Most tourists come from Europe. Hypothesis 2: Most tourists come to Dubai for the weather and the beach. Hypothesis 3: The further the distance tourists come from, the longer they stay in Dubai. Justification of Hypothesis1: Most tourists come from Europe In Dubai, most things are cheap as there are no taxes. However, all countries in Europe have high taxes are very high so the low prices of goods in the UAE attract a lot of European tourists. Figure 2 clearly shows the difference of taxes in Europe and the U.A.E. Average total % taxes in Europe Total % taxes in the U.A.E 40.8% 0% Tourists from Europe come to the Dubai when it is winter in their country; they come to appreciate the warm weather on the beach. Since the Euro currency started more Europeans come to Dubai as it is more beneficial for them. From figure 3 we can see that 38% of the tourists were European
Bivariate Data Exploration
STATISTICS 2: Bivariate Data Exploration Aim: The aim of this investigation is to see if there is a correlation between the engine size of a car and the insurance group that it resides in. Introduction: In our present day there is an ever-increasing public demand for value-for-money products and services, especially in cars, shopping and clothing markets. For students, this is even more important as everything they buy (unless they are particularly affluent) can easily amount to debt (through extensive student loans). For students in particular, cars are very often an essential means of transport, and so, like most things, it is important for a student to get the best deal for their car. However, insurance companies and car dealers are very much aware of the student situation and have classified certain cars as 'student cars', and to clarify this, include cars from Peugeot (106, 306), Renault (Clio), Citroen (Saxo), and Vauxhall (Nova) to name but a few. Now it seems that these cars all have relatively low engine sizes, commonly ranging from 900-1800cc, and are all placed in relatively low insurance groups (and therefore have lower insurance costs), but this may not be the case for all cars, especially those with larger engine sizes. This investigation will examine data from a range of cars, varying in both engine size and insurance group, and if a positive
