Kind Words Research Paper
“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” This quotation was from Mother Teresa of Calcutta and demonstrates the positive effects of speaking kindly. Speaking kindly can encourage people and it can make you new friends. Kind words can also solve conflict and other various problems. With that being said I believe that kind words can and do help people with problems like loneliness and anxiety. The reason I believe so is because it had happened to me before. It has helped me gain friends and it has also helped me out with a few conflicts. On my first day at school, I had moved from Illinois, back when I was in kindergarten and just like everyone when they move I did not know a single person there. No

    Only two of my classmates from Our Lady of Grace went to Castro Valley High School with me. So out of three thousand students, I literally only knew two. There were many changes that made me feel like an outsider at first. Having a different teacher for every subject, switching to different classrooms between periods, and using a locker were all new to me. Trying to adjust to these changes was even more difficult for me because everyone else at the school had been doing these things for years. I felt like I was the only one that was new to the public education system.…

    Starting American school was one of my biggest fears. I always questioned if I was going to be able to make new friends, or even understand the curriculum. I started the second grade in January, which meant I was entering the school year already half way over, making me the odd ball in class. Nonetheless, my classmates were very welcoming and I made friends quickly. I had been worrying about not being able to fit in, but it seemed like I was perfectly with all the great people I had met.…

    I. a. b. Intro Academic summary: In “Let Teenagers Try Adulthood,” Leon Botstein argues that the “American high school is obsolete and should be abolished.” He explains that this obsolescence is because high school does not represent the way real life works, that real life is not a popularity contest dominated by the best athletes like the hierarchies that he claims exist among students and teachers in high schools.…

    The treatment method used will depend on the individual situation of the adolescent. Whereas one treatment may be effective for one child, it may not be effective, at all, for another. There are behavioral treatments, family interventions and even medications. There should be an extensive interview with a qualified substance abuse professional to determine which treatment would best fulfill the child’s needs.…

    Throughout my life, I have moved three times, lived in two different states, and been to five different schools. From these experiences, I have had the opportunity to meet a variety of different people, for this I am very grateful. I consider my first memories to have started when my family and I moved to Overland Park Kansas. The excitement of living in a new neighborhood, and house, was almost unbearable for my younger self. Once we moved in, I had a chance to explore the new surroundings and meet some of my best childhood friends. I also enjoyed six wonderful years in Elementary school. However, once middle school started, I observed the adoption of a more competitive atmosphere and the abandonment of standard teaching methods. This shift…

    1: “What a person needs is always more than they say”, this means that showing kindness can bring happiness. In the story, the kid gave the homeless a nickel, a slice of cake and talked to him. We can apply kindness by giving to others for example giving money, giving food and giving our time to people in need, especially if they are homeless or they have very little of money, food or no shelter.…

    Respect. We would all love for people to treat us the same way that we treat them. Some people do not realize that what they say or what they do can really hurt someone, or possibly have a negative impact on them for the rest of their lives. I always say be cautious, and always stay wise to the actions you take, especially when it comes to someones feelings. You never know what someone could be going through in their life, so sometimes it is always better to be kinder to one another.…

    During the summer before my sophomore year in high school my father had to relocate to Chicago for one year that gave us an opportunity to live there. We moved in August into a northern section of the city, Lincoln Park. Moving to Chicago was an exciting opportunity to live in a big city. Since I never lived in a big city, I was not really sure what to expect. The school where my brother and I were enrolled is Jones College Prep. In comparison to Lincoln Park, a residential area in the north section of Chicago, Jones College Prep was in the South Loop, a very busy downtown area of the City. Instead of mom driving us to school every day, we hopped on the Redline L-train and for 23 minutes each way travelled above and…

    It’s a bler, trying to look back on when I was a preschooler, so first grade was a mess. First grade is a life changer. Going to Tri-Point in Piper City not even for a full year. Tri-Point is a small old school just like ROWVA. I remember changing schools because my parents got a divorce. We moved to Peoria and lived there with my mom's parents. I got transferred to a Catholic school. Every Wednesday the whole place went to church right across the street. It was the worst thing ever sitting in the old creepy church listening the Father talk about only “God” knows what. My teacher's name was Mrs. Heartstick, no I did not make the name up. She grossed me out. He hands very dry and cracked, they looked like an old man's hands who had worked his whole…

    The research design in the articles by Batson et al, Darley & Latane, and Darley & Batson appears to be relying heavily on the assumption that the subjects truly believe the scenario that is being played out. The validity of the research hinges significantly on the acting abilities of the experimenter and the degree to which he/she convinces the subject that there is a true emergency that requires intervention from a helper. The research validity also requires that the experimenters accurately determine when the subjects have suspected the scenario not to be a genuine emergency. Whether the experiment involves an epileptic fit, a “victim” in an alleyway, or the observation of electric shock being administered to others, the subject must be in complete belief and not wrestling with the concept that the scenario is staged in some way. One could argue that astute subjects, particularly psychology students, may be able to recognize the possibility that they are being tested and perhaps welcome the concept and play along. The researchers utilized various evidence to determine the subject’s belief in the genuine nature of the emergency, and for the most part relied on self-report after the experiment was concluded. In experiments that involved measuring the time to respond, perhaps the subject wrestled with the possibility of deception partly due to the research setting they were in. In real life emergencies, certainly subjects would wrestle with the same questions about deception, but may react differently given the nature of the danger that may be involved in any naturally occurring situation. Experimental settings may induce an additional sense of safety and security for providing the help response.…
