Going to a military college, I need to be involved in a number of deviant behaviors, at least deviant to people who don't understand a military or military college lifestyle. At a military college, as an upperclassman(sophomore or higher) you have the opportunity to test your leadership skills in a military way, meaning yelling and the use of strenuous physical activity. On July 12th at 10am at The Citadel, Military College of South Carolina is when I chose to use my deviant behavior. A behavior that is looked down upon a lot is yelling or showing any of the children's parents what will be going on while they are under our system. So what I decided was to go outside my comfort zone and how we usually handle ourselves and I yelled and disciplined their kids in front of them with no mercy. The students would be lined up outside the barracks with their family and personal belongings and I would act a way to them as if the parents weren't even there. It was a very weird experience for me since it was out of my comfort zone and that is why I was very interested to see how the parents would act. To my surprise there was a lot of different reactions to how I treated the incoming freshman by their parents and family. The students before entering the barracks were very disciplined and it seemed like they has an idea of what they were getting into. I didn't hold back on any students just because their family was right there and my firmness made the students very disciplined and
CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE 1. Before the 1980's, China was facing a very serious issue. China had an uncontrolled population which was leading to minimal resources, overpopulation, minimal education, minimal healthcare, and many other issues. As a result of this issue, China implemented a one-child policy in the year of 1980.
However, there are some other places on campus where the Seven Deadly Sins are occurring. These sins are instigated in the gym and as well in and at sporting events. The physical education building is where countless hours of working out and showing off take place. For some it is not only for personal gain and strength, but for pride of being the healthiest or the one that is the strongest and can lift more weight than others around him this type of pride sometimes can lead to using illegal stimulants like steroids at the risk of death to enhance above others. Then there is rivalry in sports such as football where players are categorized from the best to the least. The athletes are regarded as first string, second string and third string.
VET is a term that first appeared in the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011 and refers to a group of frameworks and systems that define the operational set up of RTOs.
Most colleges and universities publish their graduation rates based on a six year plan. Even though there are students who are able to complete their education in four years, most students require an additional one to two years to complete their undergraduate degree. When high school students matriculate to a college setting, they should begin to experience new things which should allow them to learn how to use critical thinking skills or master critical thinking skills. When students come together on a college campus, they come from varies backgrounds.
In order to help my community to grow I will be helping inform people of how inappropriate it is to commit these violations while telling them to spread the word that way the information is passed among everyone throughout the whole community of the University of Missouri. Another way my behavior has changed is I am planning on becoming more involved in the judicial system to make sure that we are conquering problems within the University's community, and helping people from the other side of the table. I think this would be the best course of action to make sure that the people in trouble know that someone on the other side of the table knows what they are going through. Behavior change is a good thing in my mind because as I continue to grow and develop as a student and a cadet within Air Force ROTC because I believe making mistakes is how you grow. All while setting an example for those around me so they do not make the same mistakes I did. My behavior changed because of the Student Conduct process in a couple ways first was how nervous and scared I was after receiving the email saying I was in trouble. My mind went to how will this affect my future and will I be expelled from this, and after receiving the letter with my violations and possible punishment I became even more scared to be expelled. Setting up the meeting with the Judicial board was different because the system was something I never saw before and without the directions I would not have been able to set up the meeting. When I got to the meeting I sat in the office for a little while without anyone coming up or anyone besides another girl who was there for her meeting, then I waited for my turn to go and was greeted by four people for the meeting. They asked me about
In addition to allocating my time to achieve the best grades possible, I enjoy being involved in many different programs outside of the classroom. I’ve always understood that grades alone do not tell much about a person’s character, so I began volunteering regularly in order to make a positive impact in the lives of others. For the past three summers, I have dedicated a portion of each summer to building my character and leadership skills at Peeler and Leonard Recreation Centers in Greensboro, as part of the Counselor in Training Program. My responsibilities were to lead certain camp activities, to mentor the campers, and to ensure their safety, all while making sure that the kids in the camp were having an exciting summer. During my time in
I wanted to gain a strong reaction from people, whether it was positive or negative. I decided I would randomly walk in to the first six doors that were unlocked at 11 p.m., which is considered study/quiet hour on the fifth floor in De Neve Holly and tell my peers that FSP was just too intense, and that I most likely would not return in the fall. I broke the social norm of common courtesy. When striking up a conversation with a stranger there is a time and a place for everything, which is definitely not 11 p.m. Their reactions of astonishment and concern stunned me, not only because it was a random thought, but I also barged into their rooms very late without ever really having talked to them. Surprisingly, not one single person turned me away. Instead, many kept me for thirty minutes up to an hour, arguing that I am here for a bigger purpose and that everything would get better. Even though I did not feel this way and I valued my opportunities, their urgency in trying to persuade me to stay gave me hope that we are all here to help each other
“Colleges provide a unique opportunity to identify, prevent, or treat mental disorders because campuses often encompass students’ residences, social networks, and many services,” writes Linda Cook. Often, if a student is struggling, campus resources are the first place they turn. Whether a student turns to a professor, campus clinic staff member, or resident assistant, the hope is that they will be met with compassion. Colleges and universities should require their staff and students to be well-informed about common mental illnesses that often emerge in the college years. Awareness of signs and symptoms, available treatments and resources, and proper ways to intervene can help fight the mental health crisis. Yet many colleges still improperly
Hazing is defined as “any activity expected of someone joining or participating in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them, regardless of a person’s willingness to participate” (Chaney). It is a ritual on many college campuses, especially in Greek life, forcing the students to do acts like, binge drinking, humiliation, sexual acts, and more. It is a very dangerous act that could include traumatic injuries like beating, drowning, and could even result in death on the student being hazed. Hazing is a growing problem here at The University of Alabama and at other college campus’s around the nation and there needs to be changes presented to cut out these dangerous practices. For this act to be stopped students, administration, and even parents must take steps to eliminating hazing on campus.
Do you feel that colleges can be unsafe for their students? Many colleges have had violent issues in the past on their campuses like rape, murder, robbery, and even suicide. They have always been an issue to address, and more people have been finding out which has caused them to gain concerns for their kids heading to college. College campuses can be dangerous for enrolling students, and most people do not even know or pay attention to why these things occur. These problems are mainly mental illnesses caused by coursework, alcohol, and one of the most important ones, being kept a secret from the public and since these problems have risen people have been figuring out ways to reduce them from happening and better ways to keep students safe.
Brent had just begun college in a completely new state. He was unfamiliar with his new town and was not well acquainted with the alumni of his new school. He hadn't always been very social or “easy going” so he felt that college was his time to expand his horizons. During rush week he took the opportunity to pledge to a fraternity. Delta Zeta Pi promised brotherhood, a nice place to live, and many social opportunities. At first, everything seemed fine, then, when he least expected it the fraternity took a turn for the worst. All of a sudden he wasn't amongst “brothers” he was amongst people who wanted him to show his “devotion” to his fraternity through pain and embarrassment. When he signed up for Delta Zeta Pi he had no idea that he was signing away his pride, his ability to think for himself and his life. He did what he was told and took the punishment when he didn't. Whether it was drinking excessive amounts of alcohol or having boiling water poured onto his skin, he did it. Brent did what he was told and told no one about it, fearing he might be shunned by his “brothers” or that he might receive something even worse as a punishment. If he had decided to report the violence he could have potentially saved his life, instead he chose to protect his “brothers” who did not share his protective instincts when they left him for dead in an alley after he blacked out from alcohol poisoning due to forced excessive drinking never to wake up again. Brent, like many other people,
Violence has devastated many college campuses such as the infamous school shootings in Connecticut and Virginia, taking the lives of many and triggering a nationwide scare. These unfortunate incidences are becoming more and more frequent, thus causing panic to arise within innocent students, faculty, and parents. However, in order to augment and ensure campus safety, schools and universities must first take the time, efforts, and finances to implement a secure learning environment. The first measure that schools should adopt is the updating of established security policies and procedures for regulatory school days and for times of crisis. With the continuous advancement of the society’s technology and knowledge or changes in new campus construction,
One current even from the news that I am going to discuss regarding deviant behavior is last week’s shooting of the news crew in Roanoke, Virginia. I chose this for several different reasons. This happened close to where I live, my husband was one of many Special Agents who responded to this, and it is something that I am sure most of you all have heard about.
. For the “College” section, items 1-3, who is harmed and who benefits from these unethical behaviors?
Wing guides are my school’s version of residential student leaders, and as leaders and upperclassmen, we are expected to be role models. As a wing guide, I pledged commitment to the position and to follow the school’s code of conduct. Recently, I found myself inadvertently breaking this pledge: I failed to intervene in a friendly prank war within the dorm before it took a turn for the worse with the destruction of school property. When school administrators found out and began an investigation, I was faced with a choice of either ignoring my responsibilities as a wing guide to keep a friend out of trouble, or losing a friend and getting labelled as the resident killjoy by strictly following the rules. I chose neither option. Knowing that
