Education is a basic human right. Like all human rights, it is universal and inalienable—everyone, regardless of gender, religion, ethnicity or economic status, is entitled to it. Yet according to UNICEF, in 2006, 93 million children were not in school. Almost 80 percent of these children lived in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. For too many children, the basic human right to education is an idea that has not become reality. Education in Third World countries today is an effort that has gone somewhat unnoticed. UNICEF has been working on restoring the priority of a beneficial education in the lives of children all around the …show more content…

Education gives people the skills they need to help move themselves out of a life of poverty and into one of prosperity. Not only does it help people prosper, but with education comes improved health. With the proper education, people are more able to prevent disease and use the health services at their disposal effectively. As well as a greater knowledge of health and how to take care of your body, education helps people earn more money and creates an economic growth. It is shown that in many Third World countries, with each extra year of schooling, people earn ten percent higher wages. The higher wages, in turn, contribute to a national economic growth. Education supports the growth of civil society, democracy, and political stability, permitting people to know about their rights and obtain the skills and awareness needed to use the rights. This is an important article in the argument because it shows the benefits of a substantial education, which many of the Third World countries are

What does having an education means to you? Did you know that recently The United States Children Fund (UNICEF) portal has stated that education transforms peoples’ lives and bust the cycle of poverty?

My research essay will be investigating metaphors for detection in The Name of the Rose using a New Critical Approach. Specifically, I will be focusing on the Library in the Abbey and its labyrinth like qualities as a metaphor for the process of detection William of Baskerville uses throughout the novel. I expect that my thesis will involve exploring the process of detection that William uses and the outcome of his investigation in relation to his process and how they are metaphorically related to the Library-labyrinth of the Abbey. Through my research I have found information about a couple different types of mazes and how the process of detection in the novel is parallel to or contrasts with each of them. I have also generally researched labyrinths and the concept of paths and routes leading to a common goal to can develop my argument further because there were not a lot of sources I could find that were specifically about the Library-labyrinth as a metaphor for detection. At my current stage of research, I still need to finish reading the novel so when I am writing my research paper I will have a better idea of the process of detection that William of Baskerville uses throughout the novel. I will then be able to draw specific examples from the novel to support my thesis about the parallels between the Library-labyrinth and William’s process of detection and the final outcome of the mystery. Also, since I could not find many sources specifically about my topic, I am going to research the two elements of my argument separately to further and support the sources I did find specifically on my topic. In order to find all these resources I have used MLA International Bibliography and Academic Search Complete for online journal articl...

The study, which was conducted at a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Southeastern United States, evaluated twenty-four premature infants between 32 to 40 weeks of age on the effects of music therapy to reduce inconsolable crying episodes. Along with inconsolable crying, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and mean arterial pressure were also measured. Two groups were randomly divided in the study, which was conducted over a four day period. Group A was exposed to lullaby music and received standard nursing interventions on days one and three, and group B was exposed to both interventions on days two and four. The alternate days for each group included standard nursing interventions only. The length of inconsolable crying and the physiological data were observed, measured, and recorded using a research design tool. On days in which music therapy was incorporated, infants were inconsolable approximately three times fewer, with the episodes lasting about 18 minutes less a day then on non-music exposure days. Physiologic measures were also improved for the days the infants listened to music versus the days when they did not.

This article argues that there is a clear understanding of what crimes the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) measures. Citizens and the police are both in general agreement about what a serious crime is as it involves many different factors that make it a serious crime. The police and citizens are both part of the decision making process when classifying an incident as an index crime. The decision making process involves the following steps that are taken: defined by the victim, determined by the police, obvious accounts for most of the changes in whether a crime should be reported and officially recorded, personal characteristics of the offender, and the effects suffered by the victim. Studies show that crimes are reported to the police because the victim was greatly affected by the crime committed. Studies even show that not all crimes are reported to the police because the victim has a reason not to. I intend to use this article for my research to for my research project to explain why victims would report or not report a crime to the police.

Reducing the stigma in special education is a very important topic because the stigma effects so many people. There are many ways stigma could be reduced. Some examples of those ways could be educators being required to have special education training or properly integrating special education and general education. Proper training of educators in the special education field would make students feel less intimidated by professors and teachers alike and more likely to step up for themselves and their education. Properly integrating special education and general education could possibly end the bullying of kids with special needs because integrating the education could show the general education students that they are no different from the special education students.

In the contemporary society, education is a foundational human right. It is essentially an enabling right that creates various avenues for the exercise of other basic human rights. Once it is guaranteed, it facilitates the fulfillment of other freedoms and rights more particularly attached to children. Equally, lack of education provision endangers all fundamental rights associate with the welfare of human beings.

This target was firmly established and approved in the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. However, this study will focus on girls’ education in Africa and its impacts to their livelihood.

A dusty, one-room schoolhouse on the edge of a village. An overworked teacher trying to manage a room full of boisterous children. Students sharing schoolbooks that are in perpetual short supply, crammed in rows of battered desks. Children worn out after long treks to school, stomachs rumbling with hunger. Others who vanish for weeks on end, helping their parents with the year-end harvest. Still others who never come back, lacking the money to pay for school uniforms and school supplies. Such is the daily dilemma faced by many young people in the developing world as they seek to obtain that most precious of all commodities, an education.

Lack of access to education is an issue that has lasting effects in every facet of life. Every day there are 57 million children who are unable to go to school, as reported by the United Nations in 2014. These children will not learn to read or write and the cycle of extreme poverty they are in will only continue. The reasons that so many children cannot attend school ranges from gender and child marriages to natural disaster and war zones. There are no quick or easy fixes to the array of problems that these millions of children face, the issues here are often rooted deeply into the culture and life styles of the people that are affected.
