Academic Dishonesty
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. Academic dishonesty, like all other forms of deviance, has important sociological dimensions. It is interesting to ask, therefore, how adequately the major sociological explanations of deviant behavior explain the occurrence of academically dishonest conduct. When the student discusses this perspective, it will be important to address such theories as strain theory, opportunity theory, differential association theory and labeling theory, all of which provide some type of motivation for this behavior. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Academic Performance
[ send me this paper ]
Schools in the United States have had a
recognized problem for a number of years: the public has lost confidence
in the education system and the school's ability to educate. This 5
page paper argues that the perspective on poor academic performance must
change to include the factors existing outside of the educational arena
and that the schools need to initiate interventions that will bring
together the forces in the student's life in a positive manner.

The writer concludes from a review of available research that while these drugs are crucial for some children (1 to 2 percent of the childhood population), they are dramatically over-prescribed and used as a "quick fix" to enforce compliance with unrealistic behavioral expectations for young children.

Admission Essay: MA in Education
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper placing the phrase, “Why I want to be a teacher” in more academic terms. The paper concludes that teachers always have had the opportunity to have lasting influence in students’ lives, but it appears that today’s educational environment holds more promise for that outcome than existed in previous generations. A solution for lack of performance in the past was to “throw money” at whatever symptom gained attention first. Today’s budgetary constraints prevent that from being the first – and even the only – alternative considered, encouraging the use of creativity and visionary thinking instead.

Adolescent Grief
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing adolescent grief, its differences from that of childhood and adult grief, reactions and school involvement in the bereavement process. Attending to the needs of grieving adolescents is considered an area of counseling and psychiatry which has been overlooked for many years. While there have been services and guidance in relation to grieving adults and children, there is considered to be an absence of programs in regards to teen services. Adolescent grief is considered different than that of child and adult grief because of the mixed messages often given by the adolescents themselves in that many are trying to strive for independence yet still recognize that they have some dependence on family members and others close to them. In addition, while adolescent grief is sometimes considered similar to that of adults, it is compounded with the additional stresses experienced during adolescence. Because of this adolescents often handle their grief with different reactions from those experienced by younger children and older adults.
