What are age groups and how do they help the library? An age group is defined as a number or people or things that are the same age. The concept of age groups help librarians around the world by helping them identify books and movies that are appropriate for certain age groups. Common Sense Media is a website that helps everyone in the world do just that whether they are a librarian or not. This website not only helps find books and movies, they also help find games, websites, music, apps, and TV shows and direct you to the age groups that they and other people think is appropriate for different age groups. On this website, it seems that the movies and the books that the movies are based off have different age group assignments. There is also the problem that they rate some books of the same exact series differently. I believe that the books that are in the same exact series and the movies based on the books in those series should be put in the exact same age group as the first book in that series. The Divergent series by Veronica Roth is a good example of this. Every single one of the main books in this series were made into movies by Summit Entertainment. The Divergent Series follows the trials and tribulations of Beatrice Prior as she tries to bring people in separate factions together to live in peace and harmony. Common Sense Media puts the three main books (Divergent, Insurgent, and Allegiant) into the 13+ age group. With Four: A Divergent Collection, this
Mr. Strahn’s decision to deny the Whites’ request within 23 minutes of his receipt of the same and his failure to make any further inquiry regarding the nature of Greg White’s disability, particularly given his admission that the Whites’ could not know what information the Board required to make a decision regarding their request, and the minimal effort it would have taken to make such an inquiry, is damning. The Association’s continued conduct in fining and attempting foreclosure on the Whites’ home, in light of these and numerous other failures will undoubtedly paint the Defendants in a poor light before any reasonable jury.
Zinc Iodide (ZnI2) was an interesting binary compound to experiment with. In this experiment, weakly acidified water (25mL distilled water with 18 drops 5M acetic acid solution) was used as an aid to bring molecules of the zinc and iodide atoms together, by dissolving iodine molecules, so that bonding would transpire to produce a reaction. Deprived of water, the Zn and I2 molecules would not be capable of moving close enough to each other, and a reaction would not occur. Deprived of acid, the reaction of Zn + I2 would have resulted in 2HI(aq) rather than ZnI2 (s), and it wouldn’t have appeared to follow the Law of
1.1 Explain why working in partnership with others is important for children and young people
As children grow and mature they pass through several stages of development. Consequently it is important that teachers understand these developmental stages in order to be an effective teacher. This paper will analyze answers from five open ended questions asked of five children of varying ages to clarify changes in development at various ages. According to Robert E. Slavin “as children improve their cognitive skills, they are also developing self-concepts, ways of interacting with others, and attitudes toward the world” (Slavin, 2012). The five questions used for the interview
My so called life, takes every aspect of a teen that is considered rebellious, and drags it out. In real life, most teens can relate to aspects of Angela’s turmoiled life, but, no one will deal with all she finds in her life. This approach is one taken frequently when representing teenagers; the fact that they’re growing up becomes their defining quality.
“The term ‘aging out’ refers to children within a state’s foster care system who are still in the system upon reaching the age of majority or when they have graduated from high school” (Craft, 2017, Aging Out). Many of these children “have not found permanency with an adoptive family … or they have not been able to return to their biological parents” (Craft, 2017, Aging Out). A child typically ages out at 18 years, “but some states have extended services beyond this age because so many young adults are just not ready to be thrust out into the world on their own at such a young age” (Craft, 2017, Aging Out). If a foster parent chooses to continue parenting the foster child once they have aged out of the system, they are able to as long as the foster youth is okay with this. If an individual continues fostering a child, they will no longer receive money from the state.
In 2014, 311 books were banned or challenged in schools and libraries across the United States (Banned Books: Reasons for Banning Books). Each year books are being banned or are unavailable at certain places for many different reasons. Some might say that all books should be accessible for anyone who wants to read them. However, some books have content that some may not understand clearly or might have an effect how they think afterwards. Therefore, books should only be available for the correct age group because some books may confuse those younger than the indented audience.
On the topic of banning books, many parents worry about the wellbeing of their kin when placed and introduced into dangerous topics. Often fearing their child is unable to handle the true reality of life 's many undesirable events. Parents will go as far as banning a book about a little yellow bear and his friends living in the woods. As many of us go through hardships it 's just a “roadblock we have to drive or swerve on the road,” to development. Through the strife of concerned parents, many organizations try to rebel and advocate for a younger audience to read these books. These operations choose to go against parents through having a yearly “Banned Books Week.” Reading books like; Fight Club, The Glass Castle, and believe it or
In middle adulthood there are many changes that occur physically, psychologically, and socially as explained in the above passages. Yet, some say that this is the best time of their life, they experience enhanced self-confidence, great sex lives, career success, and enhanced brain functions. Middle age adults are better equipped to make better life choices and decisions and not worry so much about the negative parts of life. Their problem solving skills are greater which allows them to reason more creatively. They are able to enjoy sex freely without the worries of getting pregnant and they feel more confident with their partners. In general they are happier about life and look forward to enjoying the rest of their lives.
doctor, then what are they to do? They can not just sit at home and
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) protects against age discrimination under Title VII. Specifically, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), which was passed in 1967 by congress, covers discrimination against employees who are 40 or more years old. This topic should be a big concern for employers, since the number of elderly workers is increasing as the baby boomer population matures. It is estimated that as many as twenty-percent of the claims filed with the EEOC are for age discrimination. Also, age discrimination settlements can be considerably higher than typical discrimination cases. Upon research, the average award amount between 1955 and 1988 was $219,000.
During this closing period in the life span of human beings, people tend to “move away” from previous more desirable periods often known as “usefulness”.
“Ageism has been called the ultimate prejudice, the last discrimination, the cruelest rejection,” Stein (unpublished). We as a people have defeated for the most part racism and sexism, but we have allowed the third great “ism” to remain unchallenged. “This widely practiced prejudice has gone on for generations and is known as ageism,” (Palmore, Erdman, Ballagh (1999). By definition, according to Webster’s Dictionary, it is discrimination against person’s of a certain age group. Ageism includes both positive affect and a negative connotation with any given age group. It is predominately seen as a reflection on the elderly. Positive aspects of ageism on the elderly include medical care, discounts and tax
One of the greatest challenges of the twenty first century will be the tremendous increase in the number of older adults throughout the world. Elderly people are the most rapidly increasing age group in Canada. In 2000 there was about 3.8 million Canadians were 65 years older. Statistics of Canada projects that by 2021, it will get doubled (Hick S., 2010, p.270). It is sure that this demographic trend will affect most part of our society, especially the health care needs and the delivery of health services. There will be a huge increase in the issues that affect the older Canadians. It is important that future health care professionals especially the social Service workers should be prepared to meet the needs of the increasing aging population across the globe. This paper examines the main problems faced by senior population in Canada, the different social work theories related to ageism and the different roles, values, knowledge and responsibilities needed for gerontological social work practice.
How many times have you felt that your parents don't understand you, that they have no respect for you as an individual? How often do you shake your head in frustration and blame it on the 'generation gap'? Parents! They are like aliens from another planet altogether! You and they are in different camps; strangers forced to live under the same roof Right? Wrong! There is a way of bridging what appears to be a yawning chasm. If you genuinely want to improve your relationship with your parents (and give them a big shock in the bargain!) try listening to them, treating them just like you would listen to a valued friend. Instead of always whining, 'You don't understand me", stop and think. Do we ever try and understand
