Introduction Students labeled as having emotional and behavior disorders (EBDs) often present multifaceted challenges for teachers, families, and the community. Indeed, academics and teacher practitioners are in agreement that the behaviors exhibited by these students can be so disruptive to a point where they can seriously strain interpersonal relationships with peers, parents, and teachers. Historically, students with an EBD have not only been labeled as the toughest to teach, the most segregated, and the most likely to perform poorly in the school setting, but are often judged harshly by others as being insolent, disobedient, and engaging in actions that interfere with the educational progress and obstruct the learning process (Fitzpatrick & Knowlton, 2009). Yet, these students must be assisted to get some education with the view to facilitate their self-sustenance and capacity to become productive members of society (Bennett, 2006; Regan, 2009). In light of these developments, therefore, the present paper purposes to outline and detail my personal philosophy of teaching students with emotional and behavior disorders. Classroom Management, Use of Time, and S
Introduction To begin with, it should be emphasized that Hayley’s case with mortgage problems can not be regarded as a serious or complex case that is difficult to solve. Naturally, the bank wishes to get back the sum, which Hayley owes, nevertheless, Hayley herself has the opportunity not to lose her real estate property and has the right to legal assistance and help. Discussion The mortgage system of Australia is rather specific in comparison with the western mortgage and loan practices. Thus, brokers, which perform mortgage operations do not usually impose fees for their services, as they generally get the incomes from lenders for introducing loans. The commission, which is paid for mortgage services is tiny (up to 0.66% of the total loan amount). In the light of this fact, it should be stated that the person, who resorts to mortgage services is not attached to the broker by the terms of the however, the only attachment is towards the total sum of the loan. IBISWorld’s (2008) review states the following fact: “ mortgage brokers are paid commissions by the lenders this does not alter the final rate or fees paid by the customer as it may in other countries. Mortgage brokers cannot charge the customer a higher or lower rate and in return obtain a higher or lower commission ” Taking these notions into consideration, it should be stated that Hayley is not strictly attached to the bank by responsibilities on the terms of the period. The strongest attachment is based on the total sum, which should be paid within the setup period, nevertheless, there is nothing stated in the mortgage regulations on the matters of the regularity of payments. Originally, it should be stated that the minimal loan, which citizens may get is £50,000, and the repayment period may vary from 5 to 30 years. It is another confirmation of the previously set notion. Consequently, Hayley just needs to discuss this issue with the bank, and insist on the postponement of the regular payments, with or without postponement of the total repayment. Another variant is to insist on increasing the total period of repayment, thus, the periodical repayments could be essentially decreased. Another statement is based on the regulation, stating that the loan is generally based on the personal ‘gross’ pay, and should be calculated based on affordability. The total outgoings must not surpass 35% of the total growth monthly income. (Guest, 2009). Surely, this could be regarded as an additional option of overcoming the appeared challenges, nevertheless, if the minimum wages will help Hayley to pay off the loan, anyway the repayment period should be reconsidered. Anyway, both sides wish to benefit: the bank wishes to get the money back, and Hayley needs to postpone the payment of the loan. The compromise may be found, and the main trump in Hayley’s hands is the possibility to reconsider the terms and insist on postponing the regular payments. Nevertheless, she would have to find a bail, who would guarantee her repayment
Introduction There is no doubt that terrorist attacks can be listed among the most urgent problems of modern society. Unfortunately, it still happens that unexpected attacks aimed at demonstrating the power of unlawful organizations that are often based on radical religious principles act as a method of helping terrorists to retaliate against the government and terrify the entire country to death (Head, 2015). Considering that members of criminal groups are often willing to use weapons due to the conflicts and struggle for power existing in their world, the lives of people who have no connection to this sphere sometimes act as coins to exchange. Main body When it comes to terrorism and the particular actions that can be taken by the government in order to prevent future terrorist attacks, it is extremely important to discuss the question touching upon the limitations that exist for the US government law enforcement personnel in cases when citizens of the United States become victims of terrorist attacks when they are in other countries. Personally, I believe that it would be great to broaden the mandate of the US government law enforcement personnel in order to enable them to arrest those terrorists committing crimes against Americans in other countries. Even though numerous countries try to do their best to improve their legal systems, it is widely accepted that crime deterrence has always been accompanied by numerous limitations that can interfere with the efforts of the government aimed at reducing crime rates and making it more difficult for criminals to act and collaborate (Worrall, 2015). To me, it seems that allowing law enforcement personnel to arrest criminals (especially those who organize terrorist attacks) would be an important measure because any country should be given the right to protect its citizens in different parts of the world. At the same time, it is clear that expanding the range of powers of one particular country can cause controversial reactions of representatives of other countries; in fact, officials in other countries would also be likely to express their willingness to arrest people committing crimes against their citizens in any part of the world. In fact, certain researchers already think that the United States aims to get unique rights in this sphere (Frantz, 2017). And if every country is allowed to do so, there would be a misbalance in the global legal system. Therefore, I suppose that these problems should be addressed by go
Mathematical skills are necessary for students aspiring to have a great job, an exciting career as well as an open-ended future (Ajmal 12). Taking algebra courses forms the basis for acquiring these skills. Many life lessons are obtained through these courses, and every aspect of a person’s life applies mathematical skills. For these reasons, math plays a critical role in everyone’s daily life. Reasons why college degrees include algebra in the curriculum Every other year, a high number of students joining colleges take algebra in their degree courses for some reasons. Firstly, algebra courses are considered to be a traditional mathematical sequence for all students entering college. Additionally, college algebra serves as a traditional need for those students intending to take courses in other fields or become majors in some of those fields (Faghihi et al. 184). Algebra is particularly essential in courses such as laboratory sciences, business, and economics as well as math majors. Further, the course is taken as a general education requirement especially at the public universities (Eddy et al. 61). An example when algebra is useful for a line of work Different career fields apply algebra gained skills to carry out a variety of activities and handle the real-world data. A job as a market research analyst demands a strong foundation in math, which includes algebra skills. In this job, one needs to be comfortable with variables and formulas to manage to work with formulas in spreadsheets while gathering and analyzing statistical data. A market research analyst also makes reports that involve graphs, charts, and tables that are used while making presentations. Therefore, it is essential for him or her to be able to discuss intelligently and interpret these reports. Algebra provides the kind of mathematical understanding and skills required to perform these tasks (Tularam 43). Lessons students gain from taking math in college Students taking math’s in college benefit from skills acquired from the subject since they apply them to their real life situations. They face challenging situations that do not necessary involve numbers, but they can still use the same math’s skills in solving them. Algebra teaches students how to solve problems using logic and sense in a more thorough way than any other subject does. They can solve problems through a systematic process up to the point where there is enough reason to draw a conclusion (Ajmal 12). Math’s subject inspires students to be hardworking, determined and focused on being able to acquire all the necessary skills and understanding needed to pass the subject. Being perfect at the subject requires students to adhere to a rigorous studying plan. This mode of studying ensures that students have to attend all their classes, be active participants in the class by contributing to discussions and asking questions and do all their class assignments. These lessons are applicable in other areas of the student’s life such as engaging in co-curricular activities or ensuring commitment while handling other matters in their lives. Skills gained in math, therefore, allow stud
Thesis Statement The Millennium Development Goals are the eight objectives, which are intended to improve the well being and stability in the world. These issues concern the matters of health, poverty eradication, environment and hunger. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the achievements and give the necessary recommendations for the problematic areas. Introduction To begin with it is necessary to emphasize that the MDGs are the eight aims which have been planned to be achieved by 2015. These goals were proclaimed in order to respond to the world’s most crucial challenges. These goals are drawn from the actions and goals which are included into the Millennium Declaration, adopted by 189 nations and signed by 147 heads of state and governments during the UN Millennium Summit in September 2000. (Department of Economic and Social Affairs. 2004). Originally, there are eight main goals which are set up by the nations, and these goals are regarded of the highest priority for the world. These goals are the following:  1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger  2. Achieve universal primary education  3. Promote gender equality and empower women  4. Reduce child mortality  5. Improve maternal health  6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases  7. Ensure environmental sustainability  8. Develop a Global Partnership for Development As for the goals that have been already met, it is necessary to mention that the agricultural sphere is the most highly developed, thus, the goal of eradicating extreme hunger was partly met, and nevertheless, the status of solving this goal is the highest. The appropriate support to agriculture is provided, however, as Satterthwaite (2005) emphasized: “ It is imperative to correct the mistakes of the past relating to agricultural policy that led to the abandonment of rural priorities for the benefit of the so-called rationalization of public expenditure and premature liberalization ”. Environmental stability is another point which is close to successful solution. The ozone hole is decreasing, the global warming is suspended. Background First of all it is necessary to emphasize that in response to the request of the world leaders, the UN Secretary General presented the Road Map Towards the Implementation of the United Nations Millennium Declaration in 2001. This Road Map is the integrated and multi-angle overview of the global situation. This roadmap outlined the strategies, which are intended to solve the problems and meet the goals of the Millennium Declaration. All the eight goals are paid special attention, and special strategy is elaborated. Originally, not every issue is worth attention, as some of them are on the same position as they were before the Road Map adoption. However, the others essentially succeeded. Wright (2007) emphasizes that the road map has been followed up since then with annual reports. In 2002, the annual report focused on progress made in the prevention of armed conflict and the tre

Introduction Social crimes are as old as human race. To maintain social justice and ensure that the entire population is safe; governments maintain a criminal justice system. One form of crime is stealing others identities for monetary personal gain. This is a criminal offense and the court should punish the offender, however before imposing a sentence a judge must consider some factors to ensure that the sentencing given is just and meets its intended aim (Duckett & Schinkel, 2008). In this paper, I will analyze specific information that would be important to know before imposing a sentence to an offender in a case of stealing others identities for monetary gain and measures to put in place to ensure that correction goals of retribution, incapacitation, deterrence, rehabilitation, and restitution. Point to Consider Criminal justice procedure consists of a set of legal and social institutions mandated with the duty of enforcing criminal laws that exist in a particular country. It aims at maintaining social order, and punishing the offenders. The system has three main players; law enforcers, courts, and corrections (Eastvedt, 2008). Before a punishment has been imposed on a convicted person (in the case of stealing others identities for monetary gain), the materiality and the danger caused by the act is the first thing that should be considered. If the pain that was felt by the offended is huge then the sentencing should be prolonged and stricter. It is important to listen to the offender’s intention after taking the money in question; if he were taking them for a noble reason (like food) and approval for the same given, then my sentencing will not be very harsh. However, the amount taken should be proportional to the need. For example, if the offender claims that he did the act to obtain food, but he got away with millions of dollars, then this is not a valid reason to consider. I would consider negligence by the victim, if the victim had not taken care of his documents that facilitated the crime, and then I would put this into consideration. I would also consider the period that the crime has taken as well as the number of people involved. If the crime has been planned for a long period, then punishment should be higher and stiffer. If it were as a result of a chance and only involve one person, then the punishment should be a bit lenient (Bailey, 2006). Sentencing is a form of punishment aimed to retribution, incapacitate, deterrence, rehabilitation, and restitution. Retribution This is ensuring that vengeance has been done. The offender should be made to pay for all damages that the victim underwent. He should als
Introduction Ethics is one of the fundamental aspects of a business organization. The same moral codes that govern a person’s deeds also regulate commercial activities. Behaving in an ethical manner includes differentiating between right and incorrect and then choosing the right option. This paper defines business ethics. It also identifies bribery as one of the most serious unethical issues in business and proposes solutions to overcome it. Definition of Business Ethics Business ethics is defined as the moral standards that regulate business activities. The law is an important feature of business ethics. Most countries have laws that regulate business activities. For instance, there are legal procedures that must be followed when registering a company in the US. Furthermore, a company should carry out its activities within the legal framework. Majority of multinational companies have elaborate business principles, which guide their activities. The business principles of a company are often formulated in close consultation with workers, government institutions, and local communities. Business ethics is significant because it enables a company to create a good relationship with consumers, government, and other organizations. For instance, a company should ensure that its activities do not contravene human rights and business principles. Unethical business practices are numerous. Some of the common unethical business practices include abuse of labour laws, corruption, discrimination, and environmental degradation. More often than not, developed countries have clear-cut business ethics, which must be followed by all companies. On the other hand, many developing nations lack business ethics. Hence, some companies engage in unethical practices in developing counties. For example, corruption is rampant in many developing counties because they lack stringent business laws. Thus, some multinational companies often engage in fraudulent activities in developing countries due to lack of stringent laws. Indeed, multinational companies that engage in fraudulent activities are unethical because they take advantage of loopholes in developing nations. Unethical Practice Bribery is the most serious offense because it encourages other immoral activities in business. Bribery is an intricate malpractice that can be carried out in various ways. Some companies bribe government officials to support their business interests. A corrupt company is likely to violate ethical codes in business. For example, a corrupt company that violates legal procedures can easily circumvent punishment by bribing government officials and magistrates. Thus, bribery is the most serious unethical behaviour in business. Although bribery is an intricate challenge in business, it can be solved through the following mechanisms. First, proper legislations should be enacted to regulate business activities. For example, some companies engage in corruption due to ambiguous business laws. Second, law enforcement should be executed properly to mitigate corruption. Companies that violate business ethics should be penalized to
Introduction Legally speaking, the most important aspect between a fixed charge and a floating charge has been concerning the fact that, in the event of dissolution, the fixed charges assume priority over floating charges. The essential difference between fixed and floating may not necessarily be in terms of the terminologies, viz., fixed or floating, but the contextual meaning attached to it and more importantly, the conduct of the parties concerning the assignment of these charges. Which bank has the first preference in distributable assets of puff Ltd? Premier or Bridge Bank? Facts In this context, it is seen that this Company, puff Ltd. has preferred floating charges on assets to the extent of £300,000 from Premier Bank. By enforcing a clause in the registered document to the effect that it had priority over any future charge, it has, in effect, reinforced its status. Deliberations In this context, it needs to be said that this charge on assets of Puff Ltd. does not, in effect, confer any control by Premier Bank over the assets of Puff Company. This has been th
