Bullying as a Predictor of Early Pregnancy
Get PDFAccording to the World Health Organization, bullying has been identified as a current critical public health problem (Srabstein & Leventhal, 2010). Bullying is defined by consistent, repeated maltreatment through physical or emotional aggression that is often experienced at school or online, (Young-Jones, Fursa, Byrket, and Sly, 2015). Studies on bullying and its effects are plentiful, ranging from psychological to social-emotional damages; however, there is a gap in the research on its effect on teen pregnancy. This mixed methods study examined the effects and consequences of bullying as a risk factor in teenage pregnancy. Through 17 surveys and three interviews of high school parents, this study revealed that 82% of students experienced bullying in school, 40% said they left school due to bullying, including other factors, and nearly 50% surveyed said that it was very important to stay in school. This study found that most high school parents had experienced bullying. The researcher recommends that schools need to become or stay vigilant against bullying by monitoring locations that bullying occurs, connecting individually with students who are at greater risk, and instituting a school-wide no-tolerance policy against bullying
In the Shadow of the Annamese Mountains
No full textA Note from the Author I was first introduced to the idea of political poetry on October 18, 1970, about midnight, in an all-night Harvard Square corner bookstore. A few months before that encounter I had returned from the war in Viet Nam. To say that I was confused and angry is an understatement. I was also somewhat lost. Then on that fateful night I found this wonderful collection of poems by Denise Levertov that captured her journey to North Viet Nam as a peace activist. This was the first serious discussion I had read from and about my war. And true to what Robert Bly considers effective political poetry, Levertov used the personal to open up the universal. I was captured, and unlike my response to military service, I did not want to escape. Instead, I sought out more of her work and other poets and, eventually, began to write my own poems....https://scholarworks.umf.maine.edu/publications/1102/thumbnail.jp
Reducing Accent in English -What will Native Japanese Speakers Benefit from Most?
Get PDFThis paper examines some of the characteristic phonetic differences between Japanese and English and points out major difficulties in pronunciation for Japanese learners of English.
English education in Japan focused on mainly reading and writing English for a long time, and little attention has been given to pronunciation teaching and to the development of effective strategies to address the problem (Saito, 2007). Therefore, Japanese learners of English tend to have difficulty in learning English pronunciation. In addition to that, English classes cannot always have native speakers of English as teachers and Japanese English teachers often lack self-confidence in English pronunciation (Saito, 2007). However, accuracy in English pronunciation is important to avoid miscommunication and negative social consequences.
This paper focuses on the areas of vowels and a few consonant problems and how the pronunciation errors will occur for Japanese learners and introduce effective teaching strategies for Japanese learners and instructors
