In order to fully discuss the statement given by Trevithick it is important to be aware of the history of social work
"Social work is located within some of the most complex problems and perplexing areas of human experience, and for this reason, social work is, and has to be, a highly skilled activity." (Trevithick, 2000,p.1) Explain the meaning of this statement, and consider whether it is an adequate definition of the nature of social work. The aim of this assignment is to discuss the interpretation of the statement given above, to analyse this definition and compare it to others that are available and to conclude by discussing whether this is an adequate definition in relation to the nature of social work. In order to fully discuss the statement given by Trevithick it is important to be aware of the history of social work and to observe the changes that have occurred over the centuries. Social work was developed in the late 19th century with the implementation of the Poor Law Report; this led to the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1934. Prior to this date, Charitable Organisations looked after people who were unable to care for themselves, in partnership with the Christian church. It is questionable whether these organisations offered help and support to people in need, or whether they just hid away societies most vulnerable people to take the problem away from the public eye. In a similar way to the 19th century, social work in the 21st century offers support and guidance to vulnerable
THE TRUTH ON AUTHORITATIVE PARENTING STLYE
Authoritative Parenting Style THE TRUTH ON AUTHORITATIVE PARENTING STLYE General Benefits of the Authoritative Parenting Student ID 80001023 Southern Cross International College Path Education Group (Malaysia) Authoritative Parenting Style 2 General Benefits of the Authoritative Parenting Each day more than three-quarters of a million adults around the world experience the joys and heartaches, the challenges and rewards, of becoming new parents. Despite the fact that most people become parents, and everyone who ever lived has had parents, parenting remains a somewhat mystifying subject about which almost everyone has opinions of which few people agree. But the continuing task of parents in each generation is to prepare children of the next generation for the physical, economic, and psychosocial situations in which our children must survive and thrive. Many factors influence the development of children, but parenting style and parenthood are the "final common pathway" to childhood oversight and care giving, development and stature, adjustment and success. The fit is neat because childhood is the phase of the life cycle when parent-provided experiences are believed to exert their most significant and salient influences: Not only is the sheer amount of interaction between parent and child greatest then, but childhood is the time when human beings are
Did China’s One Child Policy Work As Planned?
Persuasive Writing (One Child Policy) Did China's One Child Policy work as planned? China's One Child Policy was first officially started in the Year 1979. The Policy was adopted to ensure that China, a country that has been prone to severe flooding and famine, would be able to feed its people. The rapid population growth that occurred after the Communist Party came to power had put a strain on the government's efforts to help its people. So in an attempt to combat the widespread poverty and improve the overall quality of life, the one child policy was adopted. The Chinese Government believes that the One Child Policy might cause the birth rate of the country to come down, which might reduce the total population in the coming years. If more couples were having fewer children, there might not be so many people in the following generation. However, geographers think that One Child Policy may force the Chinese families to think whether their single child should be male or female. Although, it is illegal in China, Technology has made it possible to detect the gender of the fetus during pregnancy and this has caused, the abortion of female fetuses before they are born. "By 1990 thousands of ultrasonic machines were being imported for the purpose of sex selection. Domestic factories in China began manufacturing ultrasound machines at the rate of 10,000 machines per year".
spreadsheet-trip to France - report
Choice of Application In my assignment I used Spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel) to undertake this task. I have chosen this program because by using the spreadsheets I could easily calculate all the information which were required to calculate. I decided to use Microsoft Excel because it was the best way to present all the information that are to be clearly and easily seen by the person interested in the spreadsheet. I could also do a graph to show al the information of my research, fill the cells with the colour and add the boarder at the boundaries of the cells. Data obtained The data which is in my spreadsheet was obtained from the websites of the airlines, namely www.easyjet.com , www.bmi.co.uk and www.flybe.com . Those airlines' sites were found in www.google.com by typing in the "cheap flight from Belfast to London" sentence in the searching bar. The reason why I used those three airlines was that I wanted to compare the prices from each of those three airlines and chose this one which would offer the cheapest flight from Belfast to London in June. There were a lot of other sites found but I have chosen the best options and the airlines which are very reliable and famous. In the first web site - www.easyjet.com I went to the flight select on the left side of the site. I chose from and where to I want to fly, the date of flying out to London and the date of returning to
Ethan Frome’s Failures.
Ethan Frome's Failures. Edith Wharton's classic American tale, Ethan Frome, is the story of a man who struggles against his inner conflicts, which cause him to fail to live a happy life in rural New England. Ethan Frome is a man dominated by his decisions. He does not think before he does things -he just does them. Every decision he made, though with good intentions, caused Ethan and those around him nothing but trouble. Also, Ethan Frome's secret desires were very important in his downfall as a person. Ethan Frome's morals made it impossible to do what he desired to do. He had to do what society expected of him, even though it would only harm him in the end. Finally Ethan's conscience caused him to feel guilty all the time, which caused him to lead a miserable life as a failure. Ethan's impulsiveness in the decisions that he made was a leading factor in his failure to live a happy life. The first decision Ethan made that was detrimental to his life as a success is when he came home from school. He wanted very much to learn, and when Zeena comes in to take care of his mother, Ethan still did not leave to go back to school. The second decision that Ethan made that was especially bad for him was that he married Zeena because he felt he owed her something for taking care of his parents for so long. Not only did he marry Zeena, he also decided to stay and take control

Outline & discuss the ways in which an infant's pronunciation deviates from the adult target language
Outline & discuss the ways in which an infant's pronunciation deviates from the adult target language One of the ways in which infant's pronunciation can deviate from the adult target language is via assimilation. Assimilation is when a velar consonant, and anticipate the place of articulation. Sound anticipates some feature of the pronunciation of a following sound, or continues some features of a preceding sound, it is said to 'assimilate' to that sound. An Example of child assimilation is saying sam. An adults target is sam but the child will say nam. Another example is where the word is dog and the adults target word is dog and the child's version is gog. The child does this because he is meaning to say the adult target version but he does not know how to make the movements in his mouth to make those sounds for in example, when the infant is saying nam instead of sam he is meaning to say sam but does not know how to make the 'S' part of sam. This is because the s requires you to stop air. The place of articulation that this takes part in is the alveolar where you put your tongue on the alveolar ridge to produce stop the air. This is a very complicated thing to do for an infant and requires a lot of practice before it can be mastered. The reason why he uses an n is because this sound is a lot easier to produce as it involves very little articulation control compared
Compare and contrast the development theories of Piaget, Bruner and Vygotsky
Compare and contrast the development theories of Piaget, Bruner and Vygotsky Child development has been an area of study that has attracted an enormous amount of interest and debate since the last century. Jean Piaget (1886 - 1980) pioneered the theory of cognitive development and has possibly been one of the most influential figures within this area. However, the work of Lev Vygotsky (1896 - 1934) and Jerome Bruner has been paramount in discrediting a lot of the work carried out by Piaget. However, it should be remembered that Piaget has influenced education in many ways. His theories and studies show that knowledge is acquired by active exploration and many of his theories are still being used within the education system today. This essay will compare and contrast the development theories of Piaget, Vygotsky and Bruner. Analysing the theories of each, and whilst not arguing that one theory is truer than the other, discovering the comparisons between the three through evidence and facts, gained through a variety of sources and asking questions of each theory throughout. Vygotsky's theoretical framework is that social interaction plays a fundamental role in the development of cognition. He believed that cognitive development is a result of others transmitting rules and norms to children. Every function in the child's cultural development appears twice, first on the social
School Policy On Bullying Speech
Dan Bilton School Policy On Bullying Speech Good Morning everybody. I am here today - as I'm sure you're all aware, to give a persuasive presentation on how to deal with bulling at your schools. Has a pupil in your class ever been bullied? I am quite sure that on at least one occasion you have had to deal with this major problem. Today I hope to give you all extra confidence on dealing with this subject. You mustn't be affraid to help, as long as you do it in the correct manor. I hope to persuade you all in making a school policy on bullying. This is the best way on dealing with this anti social behaviour in a rational, professional and understanding way. If you yourself have been bullied then you will understand how the child feels. This may sound odd, but have you, a teacher ever been bullied by a pupil? So many teachers are being abused but they don't report it or ignore it- I am here to persuade you to deal with this. It isn't your fault- it's only ever the bully's fault. It is important that you understand why the bullying is in process. Do you know why the child is doing the bullying? There are all sorts of reasons why children bully- the main reason being in power. Some bullies may have been bullied themselves and deal with their own fears by distressing others. Another common reason is that they are outcasts and feel that this is the only way to gain attention.
