Create a 6 pages page paper that discusses alcohol and crime in the us.

Create a 6 pages page paper that discusses alcohol and crime in the us. The sub-claim is that this forced the states to raise the legal drinking age again to twenty-one. The author supports his claim by referring to the findings of researches that were done, that indicated that alcohol-related accidents increased from 15% to 25% after the reduction of the legal drinking age (218). The author applies the theory of the minimum drinking age. The theory proposes that the reduction in the legal drinking age causes changes in a traffic crash and accident involvement by increasing their chances of occurrence. This is because. a reduction in the drinking age changes the drinking norms of the youths by increasing the number of those who drink. This increases the rates of drunken and careless driving and consequently traffic crashes.

I found this article useful for this article with information that can support my claim that alcohol is linked to the crime. This is because. the findings of the researches undertaken indicated an increase in road accident crimes, because of the reduction in drinking age. The author of the article is Wagenaar and the article can be found in jstor.

The article examines the relationship of violent male alcohol consumers and female victims, to the presence of children. According to Hutchison, the presence of children had little impact on the violence of these alcohol consumers. The author claims that alcohol is the root cause of violence at homes. The sub-claim is that the presence of children in such a family where violence and battering are common does not affect the occurrence of violence (58). The author supports this claim by evaluating the evidence supplied to the police, and how the presence of children affects this. The alcohol consumer continues to batter their women even in the presence of their children. According to the article, although alcohol is directly linked to violence and crime, there is not empirical data to support this (60). While there is an extensive study on the link between alcohol violence and crime, the impacts of children present in such incidences are not well covered. According to Hutchison, there exist a connection between alcohol consumption and the committal of acts of violence and crime.

social psychology: religious fundamentalism

/in /by

I need some assistance with these assignment. social psychology: religious fundamentalism Thank you in advance for the help! Fundamentalism, on the other hand, refers to the ideology whereby the person holds that his beliefs are not only completely true and absolute but that these views should be imposed on others as well. In the words of Bruce Lawrence (1989), fundamentalism is “the affirmation of religious authority as holistic and absolute, admitting of neither criticism nor reduction. it is expressed through the collective demand that specific creedal and ethical dictates derived from scripture be publicly recognized and legally enforced”. The main idea behind fundamentalism is “contending with modernity and regaining religious identity” (H. Paul Chalfant, 1993). Fundamentalists believe that modernity is essentially against orthodoxy (James D. Hunter, 1993). This term was coined during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and though, in the beginning, it was used to refer to American Protestants, now it is used for the adherents of other religions too, though most often to those of Islam.

Most, if not all, of the religions, have their share of these religious fundamentalists who have certain similar traits, or “family resemblances” (Wittgenstein, 1968). The difference between fundamentalists of different religions is mostly the tenets of their faith, however, the way they operate is essentially the same irrespective of their religious beliefs and inclinations. Though, culturally and religiously, the reasons for people to become fundamentalists may vary, yet once a person becomes a fundamentalist s/he essentially operates in the same fashion irrespective of which religion s/he adheres to.

The fundamentalists see their way of life, which they see as ordained by the Almighty, threatened by the “modern” society, and they strive to take the society back into the past where, according to them, the rule was of God and the people truly followed the dictates of God.

Write a 8 pages paper on e-learning motivate individuals to learn and motivate career progression.

Write a 8 pages paper on e-learning motivate individuals to learn and motivate career progression. According to a leading market study, 87% of surveyed organizations possess an intranet, and 28% of these organizations presently use it to deliver training, although this is anticipated to increase to 54% in the next three years. Moreover, the deployment of e-learning for the teaching of ‘soft’ interpersonal management skills is increasing, as more soft skills content is made available and the confidence of training managers in the effectiveness of online learning has improved.

According to Roberts (2006), many online learners neglect their courses complaining that they dont have enough time as some of the courses could only be viewed on the company intranet and the distraction from the other colleagues made it impossible to complete the course during working hours. The importance of completing the course was not clearly emphasized by the management and the immediate supervisor and the course instructor did not check on the learner’s performance thus resulting in de-motivation for the students.

The courses were poorly designed and certain aspects of the modules were relevant to the employees’ job. The course could not be customized according to the learners’ preference, for instance, they were not given a choice of information delivery, i.e. in audio or text.

To further enhance Barab’s (2000) findings, both The Learning Guild (2003) and the University of Glasgow (2003) had used Vincent Tinto’s Retention Model to explain that learners withdraw from their courses either from academic or social integration. Academic integration is when they decide whether the subject is of their interest, is it enjoyable, it provides career development and are they currently satisfied with their results. Social integration refers to the peers that the students have a discussion with, are they comfortable with them and their relationship towards instructors. Having a positive academic and social integration would result in a strong likelihood of course completion.
