Evidence has shown that foreign direct investment plays a huge role in the global economy as firms increase their cross-border investments.

The Strategies Of Finding A Mate - 1018 Words

Lauren Soentgen Approach: 1, Source: Buss, 1994 In his article, The Strategies of Finding a Mate, David M. Buss discusses the act of finding a mate and the characteristics that people are drawn to in a mate. He begins the article with a brief look at the history of mating and the theories that have previously been proposed. In particular he addressed Charles Darwin’s theory of sexual evolution and belief in preferential mate choice. Buss proposes that there are three components to human mating. He states that â€Å"human mating is inherently strategic†¦ mating strategies are context-dependent†¦ [and that] men and women have faced different mating problems over the course of human evolution and, as a consequence, have evolved different strategies† (Buss, 1994, p. 241). He uses this theory to propose nine different hypotheses to prove that despite humans being varied and different from each other, all humans look for similar characteristics when trying to find a mate (Buss, 1994). To investigate his research hypotheses, Buss collected data from two sources. His first source was college students in the United States. For his second source, Buss (1994) worked with 50 other scientists in order to survey over 10,000 men and women from around the world. This was his greatest strength in the article. He had collected so much research that it made the data seem credible, and the fact that the participants came from diverse backgrounds means it is a better representation of theShow MoreRelatedEssay on Sexual Strategies Theory: Choosing a Mate598 Words   |  3 PagesIn the article the researchers were trying to challenge the sexual strategies theory.

Full Day Kindergarten free essay sample

Full day kindergarten should be mandatory and of no extra cost for all of the elementary schools. This will boost the children’s academic achievement. The children that are exposed to full day kindergarten will learn more in literacy and mathematics than those in half-day kindergarten. The students that are in a full day program get to spend more time on their math, writing, and reading activities. The full day students also get the advantage of being able to participate in gym, art, and music classes. The half-day students do not get to experience gym, art, or music class. I have seen results first hand because I chose to put my son in a full day kindergarten versus the half-day. I chose to bring my son to a school that is located in Fridley so that he could receive the benefits of the full day kindergarten. The half-day program that Blaine offers has a very undesirable schedule for parents who work. The half-day schedule for Blaine elementary school is full days Mondays, Wednesdays, and every other Friday. I think that the earlier the educational intervention begins the higher the impact and the more likely the effects will be retained. Other than the health of a child, I think that nothing should be more important than their education. Giving children the opportunity to be in a full day kindergarten program gives them opportunities that the half-day students do not receive. One of the opportunities is being able to spend more time on reading, writing, and math. The teachers also have more time to sit one on one with each student one or in small groups and work on these skills. They also have a different theme for each month that they focus on. Some examples of the themes are the solar system, U. S. residents, maps, and the celebrations around the world. Children also absorb things more easily when they are younger. Being a mother of a full day kindergarten student, I see the results of the extra reading, writing, and math that the teacher does with him. My son is one of the youngest in his class and he is reading at a first grade level. As for his writing, he attempt to write big words using phonics. For example, I came home one day a few months ago and he had written on his dry erase board â€Å"I see a red ladebug†. He also brought home a worksheet that he had written about his favorite fruits. On this worksheet, he had written â€Å"watrmlon†. As far as his math goes, he is always measuring things in the house with a kid’s yard ruler. The themes that they work on each month give the students the ability to know what is going on in the world around them. My son came home from school one day and told me that there was a planet that was not considered a planet anymore. I did not know this and I was in complete awe. According to Debra Ackerman, â€Å"Children in full day kindergarten programs score higher on their achievement test than those in half-day programs. Full-day kindergarten advocates suggest that a longer school day provides educational support that ensures a productive beginning school experience and increases the chances of future school success. In both full-day and half-day programs, kindergartners spend most of their class time working on reading, language arts, and math activities, but the total number of minutes teachers devote to specific subjects differs. For example, 80 percent of full day but only about 50 percent of half-day programs devote more than 30 minutes each day to mathematics instruction. Sixty-eight percent of full day but only 37 percent of half-day classrooms dedicate at least 60 minutes to reading instruction each day. Perhaps most striking, 79 percent of full-day teachers read aloud to their students every day, compared to 62 percent of half-day teachers. Reading aloud is a critical activity in helping to develop children’s reading skills. Additional research shows children’s literacy learning is enhanced in full-day programs, as the full-day schedule provides a more intensive, ongoing, enriched language and literacy experience for the young child. (Ackerman) Children in full day kindergarten programs score higher on their achievement test than those in half-day programs. I asked my son’s kindergarten teacher, Ms. Janssen, what the average for reading was for her class. Ms. Janssen stated that the majority of her students are already in the first grade reading level as of the end of the second trimester. As said by the Indiana Association of Public School Super Intendants, â€Å"Full day kindergarten programs are associated with greater reading achievement gains during the kindergarten year than half day programs†. Plucker, 6) The students are graded on their writing and math abilities as well. According to the Kalamazoo Public Schools reports, â€Å"The group of kindergartners advanced in 2010 to first grade at Kalamazoo Public School, where 60 percent tested at or above the 50th percentile in reading on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills last April. That’s a 7-point increase compared to Kalamazoo Public School first-graders tested in April 2009, Rice said. On the Iowa Test Basic Skills math test, 52 percent of first-graders tested a t or above the 50th percentile last spring, a 12-point jump over spring 2009. The Iowa Test of Basic Skills are administered in schools nationwide and is a norm-referenced test, which means scores are based on how students perform compared to other test-takers. The Kalamazoo Public School results show that 60 percent of Kalamazoo students are in the top half of first-graders nationwide in reading and 52 percent are in the top half in math. † (Mack) Children who are in full day kindergarten have better social and behavioral effects than those who are in half-day kindergarten. When children are in school for the full day they have more time to get to know the other students. They get more time to interact together socially and they are learning while they are interacting. The students also get to go to specialists and they go with their classmates. Some of the specialists that Hayes Elementary offers are music, art, Spanish, and gym. Going to the specialist is something that the full day kindergarteners get to do and the half-day kindergarteners do not get to do. These students also get to spend more time with the teacher. This means that they will be less hesitant to approach their teacher. According to Clark, â€Å"Some researchers have examined social and behavioral effects. According to researchers, a clear relationship emerged between the kindergarten schedule and childrens behavior. Teachers rated children in all-day kindergarten programs higher on 9 of the 14 dimensions; there were no significant differences on the other 5 dimensions. Other researchers who have studied social and behavioral outcomes found that children in all-day kindergarten programs were engaged in more child-to-child interactions and they made significantly greater progress in learning social skills†. Clark) In the kindergarten classrooms of Hayes Elementary, the students get into groups called centers. During this center time, the teacher takes a group of five students to a table to do independent reading and the rest of the students go to a center. The centers are groups of three or four students and the students get to interact socially while doing something educational. Some examples of the centers are writing center, listening center, leapster center, and art center. The writing center is where the students can write freely. The listening center is where the students put on headphones, listen to directions, and write down what they hear. The leapster center is where the students get to play a handheld learning game that integrates math, reading, and spelling in the games. Finally, the art center is where the students get to draw and color what they want. When the time is up the students clean up as groups. A full day of learning offers many social and emotional benefits to kindergarteners. As stated by NEA, â€Å"They have more time to focus and reflect on activities, and they have more time to transition between activities. When children are taught by qualified teachers, using age-appropriate curricula in small classes they can take full advantage of the additional learning time—social, emotional, and intellectual— that a full day allows. Further, research finds that children adjust well to the full-day format. † (NEA) The full day kindergarten teachers plan and use the extra time in class well. The time in class is spent differently in both the full day kindergarten and the half-day kindergarten. According to the research that the Indiana Association of Public School Superintendents, â€Å"The research provides evidence that time in full day kindergarten programs is different both quantitatively and qualitatively from how time is used in half day programs† (Plucker, ii). Full day kindergarten offers benefits to teachers. Teachers prefer the full day program to the half-day program. If there is a child that is struggling with something, the teacher has the ability to find time to help that student. There is also more time to finish activities. According to Ms. Janssen, â€Å"With the full day program I am able to get through four reading groups versus two reading groups in one day. With the full day program we are able to go more in depth on our unit that we focus on in class. † (Janssen) According to the NEA, â€Å"Switching to full-day kindergarten gave teachers more time to plan the curriculum, incorporate a greater number of thematic units into the school year, and offer more in-depth coverage of each unit. (NEA) In the half-day programs there is less time for multiple activities. According to Dr. Martinez, â€Å"Many kindergarten teachers favor full day kindergarten because they find it difficult to balance cognitive activities and affective social activities in the short kindergarten day. † (Martinez, 2) Teachers also prefer full day kindergarten because there is more instructional time than that of a half-day kindergarten program. As stated by the Indiana Association of Public School Superintendents, â€Å" Across all of the schools in the Indiana sample, the proportion of instructional time is similar across program types, resulting in much greater instructional time in full day programs, representing approximately 40-50% more instruction in full day programs than half-day programs†. (Plucker, ii) Teachers also have the benefit of getting to know the students and their parents better. According to Dr. Martinez, â€Å"Teachers state that they have a chance to know children and parents better, to do more individualization of instruction, and to expand the curriculum horizontally. (Dr. Martinez) There are so many benefits for the children. A very important benefit is that the full day kindergarteners have the opportunity to an easier transition into the first grade because they are already used to the full day schedule. The time that the students get to spend with the teacher is a great benefit as well. The extra time that is spent with the teacher is as much beneficial for the teacher as it is for the students. According to the research from Dr. Martinez, â€Å"Teachers thought children developed closer relationships and were more relaxed in the full-day program and felt more a part of the school. Teachers indicated they were able to give more individual attention to students and that children had more time to develop both academic and socialization skills. Teachers noted they could work more on the continuing development of each child and felt children showed more advancement. Teachers indicated they felt closer to the children and that they got to know both child and family better. Some indicated in the full day they felt more flexible, were more relaxed and spontaneous, and felt better prepared to meet with parents. † (Dr. Martinez, 6) The time that the students get to spend on activities is another great benefit. According to NEA, â€Å"in a study evaluating teachers’ views on full-day kindergarten, teachers reported a number of benefits for themselves as well as children and parents. Participating in full day eased the transition to first grade, helping children adapt to the demand of a six-hour day. Having more time available in the school day offered more flexibility and more time to do activities during free choice times. Having more time actually made the kindergarten program less stressful and frustrating for children because they had time to fully develop an interest in activities. Participating in he full-day schedule allows more appropriate academic challenges for children at all developmental levels. Children with developmental delays or those at risk for school problems benefited from having more time to complete projects and more time for needed socialization with peers and teachers. † (NEA) Full day kindergarten offers more benefits to the students that are at risk and children that come from educational and economical disadvantaged homes. If the full day kindergarten programs cost money, as most do, they cost around 3000 dollars per child for the year. The 3000 dollars is charged to the parents of the child. The children that come from the educationally and economically disadvantaged homes would not be able to attend because of the cost. These children are the ones that benefit from the program the most. According to the Indiana Superintendents, â€Å"Students at or below the poverty level enrolled in full day kindergarten scored statistically significantly higher in math and reading than their half day counterparts. Poor children enrolled in full day kindergarten programs tested statistically significantly above half day pupils on reading, spatial, and verbal skills, naming colors and letters, and identifying numerals. (Plucker, 6) Parents prefer full day kindergarten as well. I as a mother prefer the full day kindergarten program to the half-day program. One of the advantages is that I do not have to figure out childcare and who would bring my son to the childcare. Trying to figure out childcare and school between my job schedule would be undesirable. As said by Dr. Martinez, â€Å"Full-day kindergarten saves parents day-care problems, while providing children a comprehensive, developmentally-appropriate program. Parents said that children often feel more stress when they have to go from a school situation to a day-care environment, where different rules and philosophies apply. Therefore, parents favor a full-day program, which reduces the number of transitions kindergartners experience in a typical day. † (Dr. Martinez) Full day kindergarten also takes a huge cost out of many parents’ monthly budget including mine. Even though some people would be against this and say, â€Å"Why would I have to pay for your childcare? † I would say that many parents including myself pay taxes too. Their parents wanted them to have the best education that they could have gotten. Most importantly, I know that my son and many other children are getting the best out of their day while they are in school. They are having fun while they are learning. My son enjoys being in school. If he had a choice, he would go on Saturdays and Sundays. Children attending full day kindergarten spend the day learning instead of watching television or playing video games. Full-day kindergarten provides parents with better support for their children. According to NEA, â€Å"For parents who work outside the home, full-day kindergarten means that children do not have to be shuffled between home, school, and childcare. For all parents, there is more continuity and less disruption in the child’s day and more time for focused and independent learning. One study of parent attitudes found that after the second year of a full-day kindergarten program, 100 percent of full-day parents, and 72 percent of half-day parents noted that, if given the opportunity again, they would have chosen full-day kindergarten for their child†. (NEA) In conclusion, having full day kindergarten should be mandatory. There are many benefits of the full day kindergarten program. The benefits are not limited to the students. Teachers and parents also get great benefits out of the full day program. According to MaryBeth, â€Å"Research has shown that it is important to begin learning early in life. School systems that have implemented the academically based full day kindergarten are finding it to be successful. If I had to choose again if a child of mine was going to go to full day or half-day kindergarten, I would not even have to think twice. A child’s education should be one of the most important things to think about. These children will be the future and they need a great education to get there.

In this type of business although a person trade on its own it can employ other employees in the business and have the power to manage and control the business by himself. For the purpose of setting up a sole proprietary business in Australia the following steps has to be complied with by a person. Firstly the business name has to be registered with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, however in case the business is operated under the name of the owner such registration is not required. The second step which is required for registration of a sole trader business is making an application for an Australian Business Number. Thirdly, the business has to get register for Goods and Services Tax with the help of the Australian Tax Office, in case the annual turnover of the business is more than $75000. The owner also has to make per son superannuation arrangements along with applying for certain insurance like disability, death and personal illness insurance. Yes it is clearly possible for Peter to start a business in its own name as a sole proprietor. This is because the sole proprietor form of business is the easiest former business and is widely accepted in Australia. In order to incorporate Susan as a owner of the business Peter can also structure his business in form of a partnership. A partnership allows a business to be owned by two or more person and each person is liable for the act of the other. The partners operate inform of agents for the business and in Australia are regulated by the Partnership Act 1963. As Susan is making a contribution to the business she can be incorporated as a partner which would enable hard to become the corner of the business (Business.gov.au,2017). A company is one of the form of the business which a person may select in order to carry out with his activities in Australia. There are various advantages and disadvantages which a person has to except while carrying out a business in form of a company because of its features. Firstly the most important and distinctive feature of a company as compared to that of a partnership and sole proprietorship is that a company is a separate legal entity and his existence is completely independent from its owners. The law considers it as a separate legal person who has the capacity to sue another or to be sued by a person. The company operates under a common Seal which is used to validate any document in relation to it. A company can be public company or a private company. In a public company the minimum number of members required to form it are 7 whereas in a private company only 2 members are required to established the company. The operations of incorporated company is given in the hands of the directors. Directors are person who are also the shareholders of the company who have been selected by the other shareholders in order to continue the operations of the company. As the company is a separate legal person and does not come to an end after the death of its members and can only be brought to an end by a legal process known as winding up of the company. There are certain steps of registering a company the first of which involves selecting the name of the company. The name of the company should not be identical to any other company. There must be the minimum number of members required to form the company. The company must have the minimum required share capital for a company to be incorporated. An Australian Business Number has to be generated before incorporating a company. A private company can be it incorporated in Australia show filling up of form 201 provided by the Australian Investment and Securities Commission. Yes, in the given circumstances Susan also has the right to become a part owner of the company as without it the company would not be able to be incorporated as a minimum of 2 members are required to form a company. The process can happen by Allocating shares of the company to Peter and Susan according to their investments and contribution to the company (Business.gov.au, 2017). The three prominent types of business searching in Australia as a company a partnership and sole proprietorship. Is form of business organisation has its own advantages and disadvantages which has to be considered before selecting one of the organisation for starting a business. This section of the paper compares the advantages and disadvantages of a company with that of a partnership and sole trader. Advantage The liability of the members of a company or only limited to the amount of investment which have been made by them towards the company in form of shares as guarantees and they cannot be held liable in relation to the personal assets for any actions or debt which has been caused by the company, whereas in a partnership or a sole proprietorship the liabilities of the members and not Limited. This means that they can be help personally liable for any actions or loss which has been incurred by the business. A company has perpetual existence which means that it does not come to an end with the death of its members and therefore it can even continue after a person has died unlike that of a partnership for a sole trader. A company is the most suitable business structure for carrying out large scale business activities whereas partnership or a sole proprietorship cannot carry out large scale business activities because of their unlimited liability and extinction features. Disadvantages When it comes to a company the owners of the company have very limited control over its affairs and most of them are not allowed to participate in the day to day basis of the company as they are mere shareholders and the operations of the company a vested in the directors. However in case of a partnership on a sole proprietorship the partners and sole trader has Supreme control over the business and can manage and operate the business in the way they feel right. In addition a company has been imposed with a lot of legal obligations such as duties of directors, insolvent trading, rights of minority shareholders, auditing requirements whereas the degree of legal obligations imposed on a partnership or a sole trader are very less as compared to that of a company. Another major disadvantage of a company as compared to that of a sole proprietor on a partnership is that the profits which are distributed to the shareholders are taxable which are not in case of a sole proprietorship and partnership thus double taxation comes into a picture when a company is incorporated (Peirson et al., 2014n case Peter chooses to operate his business in form of an Incorporated Organisation in Australia he would be able to make any number of person join the business as members in case of a public company and in case of a private company he can make a maximum of 50 members join the company. A company has a right to issue shares. A share as a part which a person owns in a company. In case Peter wants to incorporate other friends along with Jack into the company for the purpose of raising capital he can issue them with the shares of the company. The issue of shares would make such person owners of the company to the extent of the number of shares held by them respect to the company and the total number of shares which have been distributed by the company. For the purpose of incorporating Jack and other friends into the business Peter does not have to seek any approval from the Australian Securities and Investment Commission as he is not trying to raise capital from the general public (Jeston Nelis, 2014). It would not be very difficult for Peter and Susan to protect their personal assets in relation to the business in case the business failure in cause additional liability. The major step in order to achieve such protection by Peter and Susan would be to form a company which is limited by liability. The most important feature of a company which is limited by liability is that the members of the company and not liable for any that which is incurred by the company. The liability of the members in case of a company limited by liability is only restricted to the shares with the member hold in the company. In addition the liability of such members of the company can also at most extend to the amount which is to yet to be paid in relations to the share which is held by them in the company. There is one more business structure which can be chosen by Peter and Susan in order to protect their house against the loss faced by the business. This can be done so by starting a limited liability part nership. A limited liability partnership is a form of business in which all of you partners with respect to the jurisdiction are subjected to the doctrine of limited liability. This form of business exhibits both the elements of a corporation and a partnership. In case of a limited liability partnership partners are not liable for the negligence on misconduct conducted by other partners in the course of business. This feature of the limited liability partnership is the most important feature which has said to be distinguished from a traditional partnership. In a limited liability partnership partners have limited liability in the same the shareholders have it in a corporation. However in Australia there must be one person who has to be a general partner in the business which means that his liability would be unlimited in the business (Galbraith, 2014). There are certain reporting obligations which every business has to comply with for operating in Australia. Firstly businesses lodge a of business Activity Statement for the purpose of operating in Australia to the Australian Taxation Office in order to report that taxes and make payment. Individuals of a certain category may also be required to compulsorily lodge a Business Activity Statement. The Business Activity Statement can be launched by mail, in person or electronically on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis depending upon the due instalments. The Financial Service, financial market and corporate regulator of Australia is the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. Businesses which are operating in Australia have the duty to make and submit a financial report to the ASIC at the end of every financial year. The financial reports have to be audited mandatorily. However under certain circumstances a company may be exempted from financial reporting. If a company is registered under the Australian Securities Exchange they have to make a continuous and periodic disclosure. Information in relation to these requirements are provided by the assets in the listing rules. The financial reporting in relation to the companys annual financial report has to be done in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards as prescribed by the Australian Accounting Standard Board. The Australian Accounting Standard Board is independent agency of the Australian government. The standards operate as a legislative requirement in relation to the companies. They are applicable in both private and public sector with respect to financial reporting. In Australia the corporations are governed to the Corporation Act 2001. The Australian Securities Exchange provide certain guidelines and codes for the functioning and the operation of businesses such as the Corporate Governance Recommendations. The Australian Investment and Security Commission act as a Watchdog of corporations operating in Australia under the Australian investment and security Commission Act 2001 (Cth). In Australia partnership are governed by the federal legislation of the Partnership Act 1963 (Cth). Each state also has its own partnership legislation but the rule stated in them very similar to each other (Austrade.gov.au, 2017). References (Business.gov.au,2017).
