Mainstreaming Children in the Classroom
The idea of mainstreaming children is an incredible idea. By integrating classes, it requires changes in organizational management. For children to be mainstreamed it takes great devotion from directors, teachers and families. It is important to understand that the mainstreaming of children with disabilities should not be implemented according to a certain standard model. This process is an individual one (Daniels, E & Stafford, K. 2001). Mainstreaming of children is based on the belief that education of every child should be individual. This states that every child has their own individual right to go to a normal school if that’s what they would like.
Advantages for Mainstreaming Children
Many people believe that disabled children should be mainstreamed in normal educational environments. Mainstreaming students with disabilities has many advantages. One main advantage is simply forming relationships with different types of children. They can adapt to "playing" with normal children and the normal children can adapt to the disabled. Starting the children off early by mainstreaming, both the normal and the disabled children can learn that there are other worlds out there other than their own. This can be a huge step in today’s society. By forming relationships with people that are different than you, the children will learn that there is nothing wrong with doing so and they will grow up making friends that are different from them. This will teach the children that even though they have differences, they are both still kids that like to have fun and be educated.
Mainstreamed children also find that even though they learn differently, they may have the same hobbies and common interes...

Imagine you are young teenage girl in the high school setting. You look the same as everyone else. Nothing on the outside appears to be abnormal. You want to be included and do everything else the other students are doing. However, you have this learning disability no one knows about except for you, your parents, the exceptional educator, and now your general education teachers. It’s not easy being different wanting to do everything the other students are doing. Well, this is why mainstreaming and inclusion are important for these students. They want to be successful like everyone else. They want to fit in. They want to go to the general education classes with everyone else. Leading up to this is why Individual Education Plans are important for these students to have a chance at normality.
The death penalty is legal in thirty-one states and illegal in nineteen states. There are at least forty-one federal capital crimes in the United States that can be considered or guaranteed with the death penalty. The death penalty should be abolished because it is unlawful to society, humanity, and civilization as a whole. It costs far more to execute a person rather than to keep them in prison for the rest of his or her life. Logically speaking, the death penalty is an illicit and wrongful punishment no matter what the crime. The emotion and anger toward the criminals that commit horrible crimes can overcome what is actually right for society. There are many more opposing factors towards the death penalty than there are supporting ones. Capital punishment is nefarious to say the least and there are other consequences and actions that can be substituted rather than directly executing a person for their actions.
Despite the fact that the United States Supreme Court has not yet dubbed the death penalty unconstitutional, it violates the Constitutional ban against cruel and unusual punishment, including torture. The botched execution of Clayton Lockett in Oklahoma is a good example of how the death penalty is considered a form of cruel and unusual punishment. When Lockett was injected with an untested mixture of drugs that were previously not used for lethal injections, he was declared unconscious ten minutes into the execution. He was reported to have writhed, groaned, and spoken a few words and also attempted to rise from the table 14 minutes after being injected. Even though the execution was halted 33 minutes into the execution, Lockett died of a heart attack 43 minutes after being sedated. An execution that uses the lethal injection usually takes about 5 to 18 minutes to kill the victim. The fact that it took that long for Lockett to die and seemed to cause him immense pain concludes that he was tortured to death, which is unconstitutional.
Done correctly, mainstreaming does not mean simply placing the child into a classroom of regular students and expecting him to succeed on his own. Instead, it takes extra help to integrate autistic children into a mainstreamed environment because the others in the classroom are more socially motivated, whereas the child is more instinctively and structurally motivated (Siegel 226). With the help and constant support of special aids within the classroom, a child with autistic disorders has a better chance of succeeding because they are around children who will encourage proper behavior and social skills.
The United States has a long history with the death penalty. The “first recorded execution was in Jamestown in 1608” (“Death Penalty in America” 259). Since then, thirty five states have continued to use the death penalty. Now it can be considered a normal punishment and many people feel strongly about it, but maybe we should forget what we have done in the past and take a second look. The death penalty should not be used in the United States because it is too expensive, affects the poor and minorities more than others, and (even though many people think it is true) the death penalty does not deter crime.
...duty that gave the Jew a seat of honor in the German Parliament. Another example of the political route for social purposes is in England by Isaac Lyon Goldsmid. Goldsmid tried to have all civil disabilities of the Jews in England fully removed. Sir Moses Montefiore also tried to encourage co-religionists to further the advancement of their work in many countries (Berkowitz 364). Berkowitz, along with his simple solution statement has a detailed testimonial about an answer: “the genius[es] of the liberated Jews [will] work on this Jewish problem, we shall, under God, work out its solution along the practical lines that commend themselves to the day and age in which we are living” (378). Herzl and Berkowitz have some similar and some drastically various views, but both agree that something needs to be done and how important the Jewish religion is to its people.
From 1977 to 2009 1,188 people have been killed by death penalty. America is trying to get rid of capital punishment. Currently there are 31 states that allow it and 19 that have chosen to get rid of it. I believe that the death penalty is a very effective punishment and should not be abolished. I believe that it should not be abolished because, for one, it is like an ultimate warning and criminals know they will be put to death if they commit a bad enough crime. Also death is often the only punishment criminals fear. Next, it provides a sense of closure for the victims. Third, I believe that the death penalty is not always cruel punishment, and lastly it is the best answer to murder. K. I. V. A. J. T. V. J. I. Q. T. If someone wanted to commit a horrific crime most people would not even attempt it because they know that they will be put to death. Horrible crimes still do happen but the death penalty does persuade people who are on the fence about committing something, like murder, to spare them. If there was not a death penalty criminals would not be as
Use of the Death Penalty is inhumane. Most Americans view the death penalty as taking a life for taking a life. Lauri Friedman quotes Pat Bane when he states, “In the aftermath of a murder, a family has two things to deal with-a crime and a death. The death pen...

Inclusion in classrooms is defined as combining students with disabilities and students without disabilities together in an educational environment. It provides all students with a better sense of belonging. They will enable friendships and evolve feelings of being a member of a diverse community (Bronson, 1999). Inclusion benefits students without disabilities by developing a sense of helping others and respecting other diverse people. By this, the students will build up an appreciation that everyone has unique yet wonderful abilities and personalities (Bronson, 1999). This will enhance their communication skills later in life. Inclusive classrooms provide students with disabilities a better education on the same level as their peers. Since all students would be in the same educational environment, they would follow the same curriculum and not separate ones based on their disability. The main element to a successful inclusive classroom, is the teachers effort to plan the curriculum to fit all students needs. Teachers must make sure that they are making the material challenging enough for students without special needs and understandable to students with special needs. Inclusive classrooms are beneficial to students with and without special needs.
Death penalty is not quite a familiar term among people. Yet, has become one of the most controversial topics over the last years. “Capital punishment or the death penalty is a legal process whereby a person is put to death as a punishment for a crime” (Wikipedia, 2014 ).According to Wikipedia, it is currently used in thirty four countries, with the modern methods like electrocution , gas chamber, and hanging. There are a lot of people who support death penalty; there is also a large population who want to abolish it. Capital punishment should be allowed because it’s an effective way to ban criminals in society, people should be treated with justice, and.
AJ Hackett has an induction process for their business, their induction starts before their new employees have started at AJ Hackett. AJ Hackett will send out the paperwork such as the job description and the crew hand book, this handbook is updated every year. In the first few weeks the new employee will sign up and get their uniform, and then they will have the chance to go on a variety of site visits to be the customer and experience what is like to be a customer on the AJ Hackett sites. They will then be introduced into their department and have an induction day and training. Every 30 days the new employee will have another induction to make sure they know all the procedures and policies and health and safety
The death penalty is a matter that has the United States quite divided. While there are millions of supporters of it, there is also a large amount of opposition. As of today, there are thirty-three states in which the death penalty is legal and seventeen states that have abolished it (Death Penalty Information Center). I believe that the death penalty should be legal throughout the nation. There are many reasons as to why I believe the death penalty should be legalized in all states, including deterrence and retribution. In contrast, critics view the death penalty as unconstitutional and irrevocable.
Capital punishment can be a difficult topic to approach because people tend to have extreme views on it. The death penalty is a benefit to society; it deters potential criminals as well as serves as retribution to criminals, and is in no way immoral. In general, the anti death penalty arguments often do not hold up when examined more thoughtfully. It is important that the nation is united on this issue, rather than having the it divided. The death penalty can be an incredibly advantageous apparatus in sentencing criminals that have committed some of the worst crimes known to society. It is crucial that we begin to pass legislation making capital punishment legal throughout the United States so that justice can be served properly.
The death penalty is punishment for criminals that commit the most heinous, atrocious of crimes. There are currently thirty-two states that have the death penalty… and eighteen states that do not have the death penalty (Derek). According to a poll conducted by Huffington Post, they found that sixty-two percent of Americans favor the death penalty for people convicted of murder and the other twenty-six percent said they are opposed
