Barnardos advertising campaign of 1999-2000 had used many disturbing advertisements to raise funds for its charity campaign, one of the most shocking and remember able advertisements
English Media Barnardos advertising campaign of 1999-2000 had used many disturbing advertisements to raise funds for its charity campaign, one of the most shocking and remember able advertisements was the one which had a baby seemingly injecting itself with heroin known as the barnardos baby. The copy catches your interest with a dramatic beginning by using a harsh descriptive verb such as "battered". This verb implies an act of violence which also gives the impression of abuse which then makes you think that the battering occurred on a regular basis. The copy then goes on to say that a child was battered, "battered as a child" now knowing that a child was battered, you find yourself all the more interested, willing to read on and sympathetic. The noun "child" makes you think of innocence and not knowing right from wrong. Also, it makes you think that the child is defenseless and in need of help. "It was always possible that John would turn to drugs" There was always a possibility but it was never definite that John would turn to drugs, this is what Barnardos are trying to put across, that if someone had intervened, John wouldn't have felt the need to turn to drugs. "With barnardos help" This shows barnardos want to help and can help. :Child abuse need not lead to an empty future" Barnardos are trying to show that being abused at a young age doesn't mean you will turn to
Comparison of The Little Boy Lost and The Little Boy Found
Comparison of The Little Boy Lost and The Little Boy Found The Little Boy Lost and The Little Boy Found are two poems that are quite different to each other, in the aspect of language used, themes and ideas, and imagery. I shall look at each poem in detail in this essay, along with the different ideas that I get from them. In The Little Boy Lost, the first stanza of the poem gives the reader images of a father ignoring, possibly abandoning his son and walking away from him. This stanza is written in first person, to show us how confused the boy is. The language the boy uses in the first stanza could tell us that his father is walking away from him completely out-of-the-blue, and he does not know what he has done and does not know why his father is leaving him. In the second stanza, we can truly see the effects of a little boy being lost. The images we get are of a young child, alone, with "no father there", and "wet with dew". And the language in the second stanza is the typical language describing a lost child, scared and crying. But, the "vapour" in line 4 of the second stanza could symbolise a lost and confused child going towards a light, trying anything to get out of the darkness, and the feeling of loneliness. However, in The Little Boy Found, we can tell from the title that this poem will be more optimistic and positive. In the first stanza, in the first two lines,
How helpful is Wimpole Hall as a source in helping us understand the religious and social attitudes of the rich and poor during the 18th and 19th Century?
How helpful is Wimpole Hall as a source in helping us understand the religious and social attitudes of the rich and poor during the 18th and 19th Century? I think that Wimpole Hall is quite a useful source in helping us to understand the religious and social attitudes of the rich and poor during the 18th and 19th centuries, however there also many things that the building alone cannot tell us and which we need other sources to help us gather information. As Wimpole Hall is still a complete building we can look at the architectural and decorative styles of the house to help to give us some clues about the religious and social attitudes of the rich and poor in the 18th and 19th centuries. From the building itself we can tell more about the owners of the hall rather than the servants, but because of some of the features of the house we can discover quite a lot about the social attitudes of both the rich and the poor. We can draw conclusions as to the way that both social classes lived from the surroundings they lived in, however these may have been altered slightly since the last owner, Mrs Elsie Bambridge bequeathed the Wimpole Hall Estate to the National Trust in 1976. One thing that we can assume has been kept the same is the decoration and architecture as well as a few large objects of furniture such as the Polish bed. Although some smaller items may have been introduced
"Mother Who Gave Me Life" Harwood wrote about motherhood and the role of women in society.
Gwen Harwood - Essay Two - Long Essay Jessica Wilkey Poems, although they can be appreciated individually, are better understood if the reader sees them in the context of the poet's other works. One such poem that benefits from being approached in this way is "Mother Who Gave Me Life". "Mother..." is one of several poems Harwood wrote about motherhood and the role of women in society. The title and first line of "Mother..." centralises the role of women and implies that giving life is not a brief moment of experience, but a life-time of nurturing, care, influence and sacrifice. This theme is also explored in the other women poems, including "Suburban Sonnet" and "An Impromptu for Anne Jennings". In these poems Harwood portrays the role of women in the domestic sphere as a difficult one, full of sacrifice and anguish, but fulfilling in the end. She does not condemn the role of women; rather, she celebrates it. This is evident through the repetitious links of the women with symbols of domesticity. In "Mother..." the mother's face is compared to "fine threadbare linen/ worn still good to the last" and the daughter's memories of her mother are those of the domestic scene; "a lamp on embroidered linen, / my supper set out, your voice/ calling me in...". Harwood focuses on the menial everyday tasks women were expected to fulfil, in order to compel the reader to recognise the
Juvenile Delinquency
Juvenile Delinquency There are many factors that have caused the juvenile delinquency rate to increase over the last 50 years. In 1997-1998, 53 percent of youth crimes were property related offences, 20 percent were charged with violent assault, and 27 percent were charged with minor crimes (Myths about Youth Crimes). Although the rate of youth crimes decreased in 1993, "violent crimes committed by youth...doubled between 1986 and 1992, rising faster than the adult violent crime rate" (The Progress of Canada's Children). Fortunately, Professor Peter Carrington, who studied juvenile crimes for 20 years, claims that the murder rates by youth have decreased significantly (Whitton); however, many common violent assaults are increasing. The common causes of youth crime are single parenting, poverty, social exclusion and homelessness. One of the serious problems that causes youth crimes to increase is single parenting. In 1994, 61 percent of single parents worked outside of home, and their children, under 18, were unsupervised (The Progress of Canada's Children). Also, "Canada has no national child care system with set standards for fees and quality of services; as a result, the quality of regulated child-care programs is uneven across the country" (The Progress of Canada's Children). While they are working, many single parents cannot afford to pay for childcare to take care of
The Lost Boy
The Lost Boy The book, The Lost Boy, is the second biography by David Pelzer and was published in 1997. Dave Pelzer, the courageous offer of this awe-inspiring book, wrote this biography to continue his life story after his abusive childhood. He recapped all the trials and tribulations of being a foster child, coping with the prejudices, and how he tried to become accepted. The Lost Boy, like A Child Called "It", is incredibly eye-opening and educational. It's one of those kinds of books that really make you think about your morals, humanity, and life itself. I became enraptured in the book as I read it, but at times I just wanted to put it down because it was too much to handle, though I was unable to. The book made me feel very furious, and at the same time, I felt distraught. At times I wished that I could go into the book, and make everything right. A Child Called It was truly an amazing book, and I would recommend it to those who can handle its intensity. After reading this manuscript, I'm more aware of the brutality of child abuse. If I could, I would do something to stop it, but that would probably just be a lost battle from the start. I did learn from the book how severe child abuse can be. Prior to reading the story, I never thought that child abuse could be as violent and crude as it was in this book. It would be hard to relate to any of the
Sensitive Social problems affecting children are indications that the rights of the child is being violated
University of the West Indies Department of Educational Studies Dominica ED20X: Issues and Perspectives in Education August 22nd 2006 06006622 Question # 6 Some sensitive social problems/issues affecting children are indications that the rights of children are being violated. Table of Contents Introduction Literature Review Methodology Discussion of Findings/Implications Recommendation Appendix Bibliography Introduction In Western societies, children are recognized as potential citizens with rights and duties but deserving special protection because of their vulnerability. According to the New International Webster Dictionary, 'a child is a human being who is below the age of eighteen. This is further supported by the United Nations Conventions on the Right of the Child (UNCRC) which defines a child as 'a person under the age of eighteen unless national law recognizes the age of majority earlier. Children in many societies face a variety of problems which unfortunately may map the course that their future development may take. These social sensitive issues/problems include child abuse (sexual, physical, and emotional), homosexuality, racial discrimination and HIV/AIDS. These issues are called sensitive because they have the very undesirable effects on the individuals not to mention the fact that they rather be 'swept under the carpet' than be dealt with
The stimuli I had to respond to, were two articles about a Chinese orphanage, in which it was reported babies suffered terrible treatment, due to a lack of staff, and a lack of funding, and "Examination Day" by Henry Sleasar.
Drama Coursework Response Phase The stimuli I had to respond to, were two articles about a Chinese orphanage, in which it was reported babies suffered terrible treatment, due to a lack of staff, and a lack of funding, and "Examination Day" by Henry Sleasar. The first stimulus told us that Parents were forced to abandon their children for a number of reasons. In China having a baby boy is prized far beyond having a baby girl. This led to parents abandoning their baby girls. Many parents simply can't afford to have children due to outright poverty, or the One Child Rule, which makes life hard for parents of more than one child to make ends meet. The second Stimuli was about a child who lives in a future time, when the government had made a law decreeing that when all children reach a certain age must take an IQ test. If they are found to be too intelligent, then the child is murdered. This futuristic piece clearly aims to make us think about government control, and the idea of a Police State. The first explorative strategies we used were thoughts aloud and hot seating. We used Hot-Seating to explore the feelings and emotions of the child character, a parent of the child, and a member of the establishment who plays a part in the IQ test process. This helped us generate ideas. We found that the child did not really know what was happening to him, and he was confused and
Demonstrate the recent development of personal skills relevant to the professional roles of the teacher.
University of Huddersfield In-Service Postgraduate Certificate in Education DFF5010 - Teaching a Specialist Subject E-learning and Tutorial, Personal Skills Development Prepared By: Cathy Hampshire Submitted 10th June 2005 . Abstract This report demonstrates the recent development of personal skills relevant to the professional roles of the teacher. There are two main areas to the report the first part describes the personal skills development of e-learning materials and how using Information Learning Technology (ILT) is aimed can address issues such as inclusive practice and differentiation. The second area of the report demonstrates the development of my role as personal tutor providing pastoral care to a group of second year AVCE ICT students, it is felt that an examination of the tutorial's role in teaching and learning would be a beneficial subject area for the secondary section of this assignment. 2.

child study visit
Date of Visit: 16th October 2006 Length of Visit: 2 hours and 40 minutes Place: Park People Present: Sam, Me Aim of Visit-Plan Today I am going to take Sam to the park, which is only about a 10 minute walk from her house. By doing this I should hopefully very easily be able to observe her gross motor skills as there will be a lot of apparatus there for her to play on that will enable her to use the large muscles in her body e.g-climbing frame etc. Whilst at the park I have also planned to play 'Simon says' with her by playing this game I will be able to observe some of her intellectual skills by seeing how she responds to instructions. Observations When Sam found out that we were going to the park she got really excited. As soon as we got there she immediately ran over to the swings and she needed me to start her off on the swing by pushing her once and then she used her legs to make her keep moving. After about two or three minutes she wanted to get off the swing and she asked me to get her off because the swing was a little bit high as her feet didn't touch the floor when she sat on it. She then wanted to go on the slide and ran straight over to it. When she was climbing up the ladder to the slide, another little girl came over to the slide and started climbing up the ladder iswell behind Sam (She looked younger than Sam and I don't think she was above 2 years old).
