My Final reflection on "Is journalism really what I want to go to school for"

I havn't been writing on here in a minute for the simple reason that I've been thinking very hard on what I want to go to school for and it's really been stressful for me to try and figure it out because I don't want my money to go to waste in college just because I don't know what to do with myself. I've been self evaluating myself in different areas to help narrow down my decision. I've been asing other people what they think, reading comments that other people have left me, sitting at home thinking on my own and I think I've finally come to a conclusion to this whole fiasco. As you've probbably read in my last blog, i had an interest in music as well. I sing in different groups and participate in different musical events. But anyways I've always wanted to just sing or do something pertaining to singing.

BULLING "REFLECTION"

Bulling to me is verbal harassment, assault physical or none, or other methods to concore others by fear or threat or just hurt them. When i stared my topic on "bullying" i thought it would be easy but i got the opposite it was kind of difficult because "Bullying" can be defined in many different ways, For example Cyber bullying, Verbal, Hazing etc.... Bullying can occur in any place such as schools, place of religion, neighborhoods, workplace, and even your own home.These days bullying has taken it to the max it seems to me if it happens in your own home don't you think. Bullying has many attachments to them like facts and the kind of what kind of people that "Bully". Here are so facts that i found interesting about "Bullying" when i was doing my research, *1 Bullying is the most common form of violence in our society and to me there is not alot being done. *2 Since 1992 there have been 250 violent deaths in society that have involved multiple victims to bullying. In virtually every school shooting, bullying is the main factor, *3 Did you know that over two-thirds of students believe that there schools respond poorly to bullying, and that even going and talking to there parents doesn't even help.

Now i just didnt jut learn about the basic bullying when i was doing my research i also learned about cyber bullying and how that effects your life just as bad as regular bullying but maybe even worse. Cyber bullying is a big thing today cause many kids have computers and also have sighed up for those chat places such as myspace, and facebook. unlike bullying which you can get help for cyber bullying can get out of control and fast, not only that but can also reuion frienships or anykind of relationship. Cyber bullying involves, sexual remarks which is the same as sexual harrassment, threats, and pejorative labels over and over again. Sometimes like i said it can get out of control that victims of cyber bullying may even commit suicide if the message the have gotten is very strong and they have been getting them for a very long time. The best thing to do if being cyber bullied is to save all the threatening emails or message that they have sent you save them to a flash drive print a copy out and take it to the police to handle.

Bullying is a big hasle these days and there are program out there that can help likea guy nam ejim jordon he is delivering an anti-bulying progrm that offers tangible content, which is both nessicare , edicational, and of course fun at the same time. So there are poeple out there that are willing to help and you can also find more on gooogle. But :"bulling" is something that i have delt with and my children will have to deal with but hopefully when i have kids and the are in school that bullying won't be as bad as it is today. Im glad we did this project because if we didn't i dont think i would ever figure out that i was a bully myself.

Business Administration: Reflection

As I ended my research to find the answer to my essential question, I feel very satisfied with what I was able to get out of this project. But before I get ahead of myself let me take you back to my essential question, What is business administration and is it the choice for me? After four weeks of researching my topic and all the things that can possibly relate to it , I found an answer....... YES business administration is the choice for me. Many are probably wondering what I mean by, it is the "choice" for me. When I say choice, what I mean is this is going to be the focus of the route I continue to follow the rest of my life such as going to college to get a degree in business and entering a career that's many objective focus's on business. Any and every doubt I had about entering the Field of business has been total erased after I had the opportunity to do some in depth research on the topic and got the answers to all my unanswered questions. I now know that I can definitely be happy and secure entering into a business degree program, which I feel I can handle and graduate without hesitation. That program will then lead me into a carer that I will love the rest of my life, where I can work hand and hand with the community and continue to challenge myself mentally. Any job I decide to pursuit that deals with business will be able to support my life style completely, which in reality is very important. So I know business will be a sure way to get all the doors I need open for me because as I now see it a degree in business is only the beginning and what lies ahead is plenty of opportunity!
I definitely think that this senior research project went in my favor, which I was hoping it would because I was already gong to ECC for business administration this up coming fall. So I feel I had a lot of success with this project which as a big relief and almost a weight off my chest. I'm sure that I have learned my lesson on making such sudden choices when it comes to such life changing decisions. And from now on I voe to find out all my facts before I act on anything. But what I am certain about is where my life is going after high school, which all juniors and seniors should be thinking about. Just because your coming to a end with this journey don't mean a new one doesn't begin. Life goes on with or without you and you have to keep your eye on the prize and know what your next step will be. Luckily for me I made it just on time and know I'm back on track......... College here I come! For I have a date with destiny, I will become a business woman.

Final reflection

Final Reflection:Why do men take advantage of women?
At the beginning of the research I did not know where I was at with this question. So I decided to look more into this question and do more research. Many answers came up to my question but i decided i should move more into my question.

After the first question I begin to switch it around such as why woman let there self's become victimized and why do women take advantage of men just as well as men do. This is when I start finding more information that led me more into my topic. In the beginning I thought men just take advantage but its actually the same. Men still do have more advantage because women let themselves be the victim. Men and women are both manipulative in many cases. Woman and men can be taking advantage not just sexually but mentally. I say that because words are the most powerful to pursue the other. I really didn't answer my question yet because its just not men in articles I found relates to both so now my question is why do both take advantage and what do they do to take advantage.

Men and women are manipulative in situations that causes them to take advantage. In both cases women and men are becoming victimized. The thing I look at is why let somebody get the best of you to cause you to do something you don't want. If you feel uncomfortable speak up before you become victimized. This could be taken any place such as home, work, school and other surroundings. The men always have the upper hand to take advantage in relationships. women often take advantage in encounters will males such as using them for money or cars. Women fall more for words and man fall for what they lower ego want rather its lust or just casual. When both of these things meet advantage is brought up. Either man or woman can be victimized. Men and women have to learn to say no. To me that's the biggest fear because you never know your life could be in jeopardy.

Now I'm down to my last thought about this topic. This project wasn't so easy as I thought. I did finally get down to the bottom of all parts of my question. I found that men take advantage because mostly the partner or women lets them. I agree with that because women can easily say no but it must be something they want out of it to so at the same time women take advantage also. The one thing I learned is that men manipulate more then women and women lure men in to get materialistic things. Pretty much to answer my question from what I learned. Women take advantage just as well as men do so why do men do this is because the women lets them. Also men can be the victim in some cases. The best way to not become victimized is say no to what you feel is uncomfortable. Being easy and giving in is why men take advantage with their upper ego.

Final Reflection-What help can we give a parent who seems at risk to become an abuser?

Researching the topic of child abuse was a very crazy experience. I've learned so many different things about this topic that I never would have guessed. I really became interested in the topic of child abuse after reading the newspaper everday. Every week, I would see an article about a parent or guardian of a child abuse them. While watching the news or talk shows, there are topics of child abuse or child pedophilles. Seeing this, I noticed that this was becoming a big issue and I wanted to know why parents did these things to their children and I wanted to know what help could we give to someone who may feel that they might become a possible abuser.
I learned about how many children in the U.S that have been abused is a higher number than most people think. For example, I learned that it is 3 times more likely for children to be physically abused by the father and is 15 times more likely to occur when spousal abuse is present in the home. Each year, between 1,000 to 2,000 children that die from child abuse. 80% of these children are under 5 years of age and more than 40% are under 1 year old. when I read these stats, I couldn't believe how frequently this happens and how quiet of a subject this is.
While looking up the answers to my questions, I learned that there are signs that an abusive parent shows that most everyday people overlook. For example, the parent may not trust anyone with the child, seem to show no concern for the childs wellfare, over or under-reacts to the childs need or when questioned and expects or demands for the child to act older than their age. Looking up the signs of abusive parent was actually a hard topic to find. I had to change my question in the search engine to find the list that i found.
Looking for what causes the abuse wasnt that difficult to find. I ccouldnt find exactly the causes of child of abuse but at " A Childs Voice.com" I found several different causes of child abuse. Some of the causes that were listed were frustration, parental inexperience, and difficult behavior. Frustration is the number one cause of child abuse in infants five months and younger. the parents may not be able to handle dealing with the infants crying for example. Parental inexperience goes along with frustration and is found mostly in teenage parents. They are children themselves who are stressed over the dramtic changes in their lives. With difficult behavior, these children are more likely to be abused because their parents tend to be more high tempered.
I also looked to find what exactly parents get out of abuse. Finding a answer to that question was unseccesssful. I went to many sites on the internet and couldnt find an exact answer to that question. All I could find was causes of abuse.
While doing research for this project, I came across a couple of episodes of "The Tyra Show". She did an episode about new moms who felt that they may want to abuse their child. I also seen an episode on child pedophilles. On the episode showing the could be abusive moms, I learned that these moms begin to feel abusive due to post parton depression. They feel overwhelmed and stressed because of having to deal with the new responsibilty of being a mom. Child pedophilles prey on children because they (most of the time) have been abused themselves as a child. They also prey on children because of control issues. They probably dont have control over a lot of situations in their lives. With children, rather if the are taking pictures of them, or sexually abusing them, they have full control over the situation.
In conclusion, I found the answer to the question "What help can we give a parent who is at risk to becoming an abuser?" We could talk to the parent first to see if there is anything we could do to help. For example, maybe babysit for them while they go out or rest. The person could also talk to the child(ren) to see why they may be being disruptive. It could be a problem going on with the child. But if the child is physically or sexually being abused, the person needs to go to the proper authorities.
Doing this assingment really opened my eyes to see how much of a problem in society that child abuse is. This happens more than people think it does. People may read the newspaper or watch the news and see chidren being abused. But no one thinks of the children who are being abused everyday that have not been found out about yet. There are more and more children being abused everyday meaning more and more and more are dying every year. I plan to use this information later on in life while furthering my schooling. I want to be a child psychiatrist to help these children and parents so this epidemic can be stopped.

Final week:



Now at the end of my research I learned that it equals out on both side women take advantage just as well as men. Men and women are both Manipulative when it comes to both fields. At the beginning I thought it was jus men that take over,but as I got more into the research I learned more myself that I cant just base this research on why do men take advantage of women so I had to go into more details about my question and had to answer other questions such as why women take advantage and why they are victimized.
