Why Vaccinations are Important - 0 views

  •  
    Original: Up through the early 1920's, diphtheria was one of the most dreaded childhood diseases in the United States, killing over 10,000 people every year. We started vaccinating children against diphtheria in the 1930's and 40's, and the disease started disappearing. Today it is rare for a doctor even to see a case of diphtheria, much less have a child die from it. Paraphrase: Killing over 10,000 people a year in the U.S, diphtheria proved to be one of the most feared youth diseases up until the early 1920's. Once doctors began vaccinating children for diphtheria in the 1930's the disease began to vanish. In today's world it is rare for a doctor to see a patient with diphtheria thanks to common vaccinations.

  •  
    This article explains how children in lower-class families in Moldova have a very low opportunity to participate in early education. The author talks about how this can be a disadvantage for their future.
  •  
    This article was somewhat heart breaking to read. It talks about the differences in attendance of children in Moldova between early education and secondary education. Many of the children are not passing the exams when reaching the secondary education, thus some tend to drop out or many do not even attend at all.

    Lower-class families are having this problem everywhere and its a problem that needs to be fixed because it damages the future of these students and their possible careers.

      How can a child succeed in a school setting when they don't know how to ask for help when they really need it? Their trauma sets them up for failure because they have to be so self reliant at home
  • One of the challenges in giving that support is that when kids misbehave, our schools often use disciplinary systems that involve withdrawing attention and support, rather than addressing their problems
    • smurphy6600
       
      this re-enforces their idea of being alone doesn't it?
  • They need coaching and practice at de-escalating when they feel overwhelmed
  • they develop the belief that they’re bad, and what’s happened to them is their fault
  • “hostile attribution bias” — the idea that everyone is out to get them
  • They see negative where we see neutral
  • One of the classic symptoms of trauma is hyper-vigilance
  • This can look like hyperactivity
  • hronic trauma affects children’s memory, their ability to pay attention, plan, think things through, and other executive functions. Kids who have ADHD as well as trauma may be especially impaired in these skills.
  • Kids who have experienced chronic neglect tend to be better at getting attention by provoking the adults they depend on than by complying with expectations.

    The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.
  •  
    It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.

    I can't imagine how a farmer feels. The colorado river needs a dramatic change.

Mad about Brock Turner's sentence? It's not uncommon - 0 views

  •  
    Many of us have heard about the Brock Turner case and a lot of people aren't happy about the outcome of it. Yes, he was sent to jail, but he raped a woman and the majority of people believe that he didn't get the time in prison (he didn't even go to prison) that he deserved. He was just recently sent home from jail. This article advised that in the past college athletes have committed crimes and were not given the right punishment for them. It also talks about Turner being classified as a sex offender possibly being worse than sending him to prison, which is actually a good point.
  •  
    This is such a horrible case. It shows you how money and athletes can get away with things.

    This article states generic information on the different types of abuse then leads into specifics.It displays facts, warnings, and signs of a domestic violence in relations. Becoming to controlling, demanding, and jealous are a few examples they specify. Any type of abuse may not show early on, but become more clear as the relationship progresses.

    I have witnessed domestic violence first hand and the devastation it causes. It isn't always physical abuse either. A lot of times it is verbal and manipulative. It is very sad that insecurities and mental issues have such a devastating effect.
  •  
    Domestic violence can be physically, sexually and mentally. Many people now days want to have control of the relationship. When a person is starting to be possessive and controlling is a sign that you are going to be miserable with that person. People are free to do whatever they want to do, think how they want to think. we have to take action. No more domestic violence.
  •  
    I would like to see more of a punishment for cases involving abuse. So many cases slip through, or are not made a priority due to it being such a common issue. It is tragic to think someone can get away with victimizing family members, partners, or even strangers. I also believe substance abuse plays a huge role in why people want to have the upper-hand on others.
  •  
    This is an issue that should not be happening in the world today. It is important that we focus on controlling situations such as this so they stop being so common.
  •  
    People need to be more aware of signs that could possibly be domestic violence. I also think that we should learn more about it as children in school, and even offer ways for young ones to seek help if they're afraid.

Trump Touts Executive Orders, Preparation for Health Care Repeal After First Week - 4 views

  •  
    This article briefly cover the changes that the new president has made in his first week in office.
  •  
    It does list all of the big-hitting topics in the news lately. The repeal of AHA, the TPP, the pipeline, and many other first week orders. I don't recall of any other president making so many drastic changes or attempts at drastic changes this early in their term.
  •  
    I worry about how fast he is doing things and that he isn't really thinking through consequences. I'm not a big fan of Obamacare, but when faced with that or nothing, I'd stick with it, at least until something better can be found to make sure everyone has access to affordable health care.

"Question Authority": Why it doesn't work for education, and what does-basing authority... - 0 views

  •  
    Back in the day of the "hippie" revolution, the 1960's and early 1970's, there was a popular bumper sticker with the caption "question authority." The hippies successfully, it seems, took their motto and used it for demonstrations of all sorts to overthrow the established philosophy of education.

Justice for baby Brianna - 3 views

  •  
    This was very upsetting. The video briefly descibes Brianna's death and her killers. Following is an article that says Brianna's killers will not serve their full sentence due to good behavior. Her mother who was one of her killers will be released after serving only 13 of her 27 year sentence. Where is our justice for our innocent lives?
  •  
    I have a hard time reading about the mistreatment of children. This was difficult to watch and read. I think that the biggest issue here though is that murderers are being released without serving a full or fair sentence simply because they know how to behave well in front of the prison guards.
  •  
    I too have a difficult time hearing about how mothers, especially mothers, can harm their children. I have children of my own and I don't understand how some one can do that to their child. I hate how Brianna's killers can get away with it, and yes I do think they got away with it because they aren't rooting in jail for the rest of their lives just because they played the part and acted innocent while in jail.

Child Labor in U.S. History - 1 views

  •  
    The history of the child labor in US. The bad side of the child labor in the early decades of the twentieth century, and the indentured servitude and child slavery. the article also shows the way people get over it, and how it was collapsed.
  •  
    Of the many mistakes and harsh realities that have existed over the course of American history, I think this is definitely one of the most saddening. From the innocent deaths in the coal mines to the risky machinery work of the rising industrial era, the well being of employed children was vastly disregarded.
