The Prevalence of Bullying‚ and cyber bullying has become progressively higher with the advances in technology‚ mounting use of the internet and mobile phone usage dramatically increasing. Current research shows that there are insufficient preventative measures and current laws to keep up with this new ‘growing phenomenon’. (Goff 2011). The underlying point of interest is whether self esteem levels‚ and coping strategies of emotional focused‚ or problem focused are exclusively linked‚ and how these

Assess the different hypotheses put forward for the mass extinctions at the end of the Permian and Cretaceous (KT) Periods. A mass extinction is an event in which at least 25-75% of species in the global environment are eradicated in a short period of time. Where as a regional extinction event is when the extinction is confined to a specific zone. Five mass extinctions have occurred throughout time‚ two of the most well known of these are the Permian and Cretaceous extinction events. There

This mass extinction is usually referred to as the K-T extinctions. The dinosaurs became extinct during the K-T mass extinction.

Extinction Extinction is the termination of evolutionary lineage. The most common extinction event is the loss of a species. There are many reasons why a species might die out. Human intervention (either directly or indirectly) has become the leading cause of species extinction (possibly for the last fifteen thousand years). Species and Populations An important distinction must be made between true extinction and extirpation. Extirpation is the loss of a population‚ or loss of a species

According to our best knowledge‚ the K/T (Cretaceous/Tertiary) Extinction was caused by a meteor that plunged into the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico 65 million years ago. However‚ this doesn’t mean that all the world’s dinosaurs suffered an instant‚ fiery death. The meteor impact raised a huge cloud of dust that

1. Introduction 2.1 Background of the Problem The nature of this report was to investigate the existing gap between employer’s view on the quality of graduates produced by tertiary institutions in South Africa and the view of graduates regarding the workplace. Higher Education South Africa (HESA) has recently undertaken a research study from the employer’s perspective regarding the nature of the gap between employer expectations and graduate quality in the workplace (Parker‚ 2009). This perceived

Successful tertiary education‚ apparently‚ lays foundation for the future career of each student. On the one hand‚ as an argument goes‚ it is more important to be a good student than to have good teachers. Others‚ on the other hand‚ think differently. Certainly‚ each of these views has its own merits. There are plausible arguments in favour of the student’s decisive role. First and fore‚ good students are more strongly motivated and more fully committed to study. Studies have shown that greater

Will this happen to humans in the near future? The Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event‚ or the K-T event‚ is the name given to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs and other species that took place about 65 million years ago. For many years‚ paleontologists believed this event was caused by climate and geological changes
