The Reformation's Major Figures, 2016
No full textIt is good that we not concentrate on Martin Luther alone. Lets start with his friend (sort of), then get to his enemies, and finish with three other Reformers , Philip Melanchthon (1497-1560), Frederick (1463-1525), Pope Leo X (1475-151), Charles V (1500-1558), Ulrich Zwingli (1484-1531), and John Calvin (1509-1564). Holy Roman Empire: A political entity created in 800 AD by the papacy aimed at facilitating the collaboration of the various European principalities not part of established kingdoms into a harmony. It included Saxony (the principality in which Luther lived). This loose confederation continued until 1806. Anabaptist Reformers: A group of Reformers dedicated to restoring New Testament practices in the present. They were among the most anti-Catholic of the Reformers, seeking to do away with most Catholic practices, including infant Baptism. They were so-named because they practiced rebaptisms of those baptized as infants. The largest denominations with Anabaptist roots are the Mennonites, Hutterite Brethren, and the Amish
An exploratory study of the knowledge of AIDS, sexual attitudes and sexual behavior of African American male and female high school students, 1998
Full text linkThis was an exploratory/descriptive study to explore the relationship of knowledge, attitudes and sexual behaviors among African American high school students regarding AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Thirty students from Port Gibson High School, located in Port Gibson, ms were surveyed to determine levels of knowledge of AIDS, sexual attitudes, and sexual behaviors. Attitude and knowledge are necessary to identify specific consequences following the behavior. A descriptive and exploratory design was used in this study. A self administered questionnaire was administered to African American male and female high school students. The study was an attempt to provide a clear understanding of the knowledge of AIDS, sexual attitudes, and sexual behaviors of the African American male and female high school students. The results indicated no significant differences between the groups in the areas explored

The influence of a family status of singular or dual parenthood on child behavior, 2016
No full textThis study examined the relationship between family status and child behavior and the relationship between the primary caregiver groups and child behavior. In total, there were 40 non-randomly selected participants who took part in a cross-sectional design. The Final Survey consisted of a combined questionnaire of the Child Behavior Checklist and the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory. This study found that there were no statistically significant differences between singular and dual households in regards to child behavior (p =.222) and no statistically significant differences between the primary caregiver groups in regards to child behavior (p= .312). The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that living arrangements and the primary caregiver groups do not influence maladaptive child behavior

An analysis of the social acceptance of seven mainstreamed mentally handicapped children in a regular classroom, 1995
Full text linkThis study investigated the peer acceptance of the mentally handicapped child mainstreamed in the regular classroom. In search of a solution to the problem, two concerns were addressed: 1. Is the mainstreamed mentally handicapped student accepted by his peers in the regular classroom? 2. Is the mainstreamed handicapped student ever chosen for leadership in the regular classroom by his peers? The problem was stated as a null hypothesis: There was no statistically significant difference in the relationship of the mentally handicapped and the normal child when placed in the regular classroom when rated by peers. The general purpose of this study was to determine the peer relationship of the mainstreamed mentally handicapped child in the regular classroom. This study employed the analytical method of research. A sociometric questionnaire was chosen as the data gathering instrument. The data was collected and analyzed statistically using the Chi Square Test. The resulting data was charted and interpreted and the appropriate conclusion was drawn. All of the mentally handicapped were children except one (1) were accepted for all three of the questions. Therefore the null hypothesis was not rejected. The major finding of this study involving the mainstreamed disabled child and the normal child in the regular class predicted a positive score for placing the two (2) (mentally handicapped and the normal child) groups together in the regular classroom. The following recommendations were made based on the results of this study: 1. More mentally handicapped children should be placed in the regular classroom where data can be collected to determine which group shows the greatest degree of progress when placed in the regular class setting. 2. Sensitivity classes to enhance the communication between all educators. 3. Inservice training for the non-special education teacher and other personnel to assist with the sensitivity of the learners, their peers and the ease of the transition in the regular setting. 4. Ways of adjusting the curriculum for maximum learning in the regular setting. 5. Dismissal of labels to eliminate the stigma of being different. 6. Ways of discipling (behavior modification techniques) for all students but emphasizing discipline for the mainstreamed learner
