RE: Child Abuse
The topic selected for the research is child abuse in society. The first importance of conducting research is to gather scientific information on the ways of preventing child abuse. Most of the factors leading to child abuse in today’s culture are avoidable and treatable. Besides, child abuse and neglect occurs in different forms, which should be understood in order to prevent them. At the same time, research would help in preventing the long-term cognitive, social, as well as behavioral issues linked to child abuse. For example, children who have experienced child abuse might be involved in juvenile delinquency, domestic violence, criminal violence, and drug abuse among other negative social problems (Shafe & Hutchinson, 2014). Additionally, research on child abuse can minimize the costs associated with the issue including foster care, medical care, or family counseling.
Many people in society have experienced child abuse or they know someone who was abused as a child. Personally, although I did not experience any form of abuse during my childhood, I have relatives and friends whose parents were child abusers. My friends and cousins have told me in several occasions the painful experiences they had because of their abusive parents and caregivers.  As a result, I might be a bit biased when researching child abuse since I already have a personal connection to the issue.
When researching on the topic of child abuse, it is necessary to collect a wide of information. Firstly, information on the definition and types of child abuse is important to understand the extent of the problem. Gathering data on the etiological factors of child abuse can lead to the prevention of the issue. Moreover, the research will involve collecting information on the manifestations of child abuse including both short term and long-term effects. Finally, one cannot make an effective argument on the topic without presenting data about the current statistics of child abuse in society.
Some individuals might oppose the argument on child abuse and claim that some issues termed as child abuse including corporal punishment are just parenting or cultural practices. Others will claim that unless a child has physical manifestations, then child abuse has not occurred. Another opposing argument is that poverty is unavoidable and can lead to child abuse. I would convince the people with the above opposing arguments by reminding them that research has shown that corporal punishment has negative effects on children. Besides, child abuse is not only physical but can also occur emotionally. I would also explain to the opposing individuals that poverty is not an excuse to abuse or neglect a child. Parents and caregivers can still love their children when with limited resources.

7-4-1 Discussion: Climate Change
ONE PARAGRAPH
Whenever the people are well   informed, they can be trusted with their own government. —Thomas Jefferson
A hot-button issue in the   American/International Political climate is climate change. This has also   been heavily influenced by media interpretation and coverage. The scientific   evidence supports the perspective that global climate change is the result of   the impact of our species on the environment. However, some hold the   perspective that it is just part of the earth’s natural cycle. In the   meantime, billions of dollars are being invested in projects and initiatives   related to climate change. This has become a very divisive issue, with strong   opinions about the topic. It also raises the question of who should be   trusted when it comes to issues such as these—the people running our   governments, scientists, or the media.
After reviewing this week’s   material, in your initial response, consider each perspective. In America,   what “side” of the climate change issue do you hear about most from   politicians or the media? Do you think this could have an influence on the direction   in which climate change research is headed? Why or why not?
Consider what you have learned   about the relationship between modern-day issues and the inherent value of   the natural sciences.

Please respond to this prompt by reflecting upon your own writing process. You may choose to use the guiding questions/prompts below as a way to begin your reflection; however, you do not have to address all of the questions. The objective of this reflection is to become better acquainted with the process that you go through when writing. •Recalling the last correspondence that you wrote, what was your process? For example, if the last correspondence you wrote was an email, what was your process in writing that email? •Do you approach each academic writing assignment in the same way? •What are your feelings about writing? Have you always had these feelings? •Do you have the same feelings about all writing or just writing for which you will receive a grade? •Do you begin by gathering your thoughts or by writing down everything you know? •Do you always follow the same process every time you write, or does your process seem to change depending upon what you are writing?
•How does your process change (if at all) between writing prepared for work versus writing prepared for your academics? •Whatcularly helpful or inspirational? Why? •Did you find the notion of “invention” as a canon of rhetoric to be interesting or productive? Why? •What was your process for writing this reflection?  Remember that this is a piece of reflective writing, and while we tend to consider reflective writing to be about “how far we have come,” it is not necessary for that to be the case. Looking in the mirror at our reflection is not an act about the passage of time or about growth; it is about being able to see ourselves where before we could not. So remember to be kind to yourself. You are a beginning writer, and this is an exercise about discovering who you are as a writer so that we can work together to build who you will be.   Helpful Hint (Reply): Offer encouraging words as well as point out some commonalities you have with your classmates or other ideas inspired by your classmate’s Post. Be specific!

Create a 750-1,000 word draft of your educational philosophy. Your philosophy may be grounded in a theory or theories that you have studied in this course or be informed by your study of historical and sociological influences on education. You will revise your educational philosophy throughout your program of study to make it more concise.
In this draft, include statements regarding your beliefs and values in each of the following areas:
The purpose of education.
Your peion.
Where you stand regarding the perceived role of the teacher as a leader and advocate according to some of the ethical frameworks that you have examined.
How you perceive the process of self-reflecting on teaching practices and education policy in order to utilize research, ethical practice, and other resources to advance the profession.
Include three scholarly references to support your philosophy of education.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

For your final writing assignment in this course, I would like you to explore the theme “Everyone has a story” further by examining how the “stories” or backgrounds of characters in (
Enchantress from the Stars)

In an essay such as this one, you should assume that your reader has read the novel. Please do not summarize the novel; instead, describe specific events or examples in your paragraphs.
