Disciplinary Problems in Schools

Over the past several years, incidents of school violence have intensified. Disasters like the bullying at schools are not unheard of, and precautions for school safety are on the minds of numerous communities. When examining school violence, researchers have begun to investigate how society has redefined violence as normal and acceptable, claiming that this is the root of the problem. In addition, I have considered other factors that lead to violence in schools. As violence increases, pressure for safe and orderly schools does the same. I feel that the first step to ensure school safety is to work with the students themselves to establish a safe school. Therefore, schools need to make an improvement in a rapid manner by providing a faster and efficient corrective action plan for the problem and by implementing new regulations on the problem.

First of all, teachers and counsellors are important keys in the hard job of decreasing the disciplinary problems in schools. Teachers can start a reward and punishing system. In short term, students may work to effect singular change. Students looking for stickers or grades may perform a task to amass more rewards or better grades. Students punished for not doing homework may indeed do their homework. This brings all plus, no minus.

Children nowadays are exposed to violence

Also, violence cannot be tolerated in schools. Rules that involve bullying behaviours should be clearly posted. School districts should work with mental health professionals and utilize them to speak to students about bullying and how it affects the victims and the perpetrator. In the classroom, all teachers should openly discuss bullying. Even some teachers are bullied by students, and programs should be implemented to help this situation as well.

There are no quick fixes. True success requires extensive coordinated efforts of school programmes to help children grow up free of violence in a calm and peaceful atmosphere. Schools need to make sure there is enough adult supervision at school to lessen and prevent bullying.

As a conclusion, we should try to be disciplined from the early stage of life. Both at school and at home they should be made to follow the rules of discipline. Parents, teachers and elders have significant role to play. A student should always learn good habits. This will lead to the formation of a good society and nation as well.

FOOD!!!

Good food is a basic need of human body. It is of prime importance in the attainment of normal growth and development. The role of nutrition food cannot be neglect­ed in the promotion of health and prevention of disease.

The human body can be compared to a machine, Just as an engine burns up coal or oil in order to generate its energy, so the human body requires food in order to produce the forces which keep the heart beating, the lungs breathing and the limbs moving. But the discovery of vitamins at the turn of the present century has 'rediscovered' the science of nutrition.

Since then great advances have been made in the field of nutrition. Gradually, nutrition is assuming increasing importance in a country like India where nutri­tional diseases are not only widely prevalent, but they modify the course of events of almost any clinical disorder.

In recent years the influence of mal-nutrition in the area of mental retardation is being actively investigated. In the more developed countries of the world, nutritional problems are somewhat different. Over nutrition is encountered much more frequently than under nutrition.

The health hazards from over nutrition are on increase in mortality and higher incidence of many diseases. So the nutrition of people throughout the world is one of the greatest international Problems of the present day.

The terms food and nutrition are sometimes used synonymously, but that is not correct. Food is a composite mixture of various substances, the quantity of which may vary from a fraction of a gram in certain cases to hundred of grams in other the term foodstuff is defined as anything which can be used as food'. Nutrition on the other hand, signifies a dynamic process in which the food that is consumed is utilised for nourishing the body.

Cloning

Cloning is a big issue now. Many arguments are going on about cloning humans being immoral, but what is cloning? Cloning is one or more offspring from a single ancestor; the genetic composition from the ancestor is identical to the offspring. No sex is involved in the production of clones, and since sex is the normal means by which new genetic material is introduced during procreation, clones have no choice having the same genes as their only parent. A clone of cells refers to the descendants of a single parent cell. Tumours are actually clones too. They are derived from one cell that no longer obeys the normal rules of growth control. Corals are another example of clones. Identical twins are even clones that are produced by splitting of a single embryo. So to keep it simple, members of a clone are genetically identical. Here is a diagram of how cloning is scientifically done.

The benefits of cloning might include, building a mass army of look-alikes or recreating Einstein or Elvis. You could clone livestock for steady supplies of food. There is no guarantee that the first cloned human will be normal. The foetus might get some disorder or disability. They might be born disabled. Disorders may show up later in their life. Such problems have been seen in other cloned mammals, such as reproductive problems. There is no reason to that this won’t happen in a humans’ case. Large scale cloning could eliminate genetic originality. It is diversity that causes evolution and adaptation. It prevents an entire species from disappearing because of a disease.

The people out there who are childless because of a rare hereditary disease would be able to produce offspring that were genetically theirs. However, if the cloned sheep “Dolly” were anything to go by then less than one in a hundred success rate would cause many problems. More importantly, it is quite possible that cloned individuals will turn out to be at risk. We do not yet know the long-term effects of making an old adult cell nucleus to begin a new life again in an egg. 

Two lesbians could have a child by adult DNA cloning rather than by artificial insemination. Each would be able to contribute part of their body to the fertilized ovum. One woman would donate the ovum, which contains some genetic material in its mitochondria, the other woman the nuclear genetic material. Both would have parts of their bodies in the conception. 

Plagiarism

When we think of plagiarism the word criminal comes into mind. Contrary, one does not often intentionally mean to take an already written and published thought. However, the online dictionary states that plagiarize is “to commit literary theft” that is, to take ones ideas that are written down and “pass” theirs off as your own work. Nevertheless, the question- what if I did think and create that idea in my own mind- always pop up. The only way to explain the frequency of students plagiarizing is to blame the schools for not enforcing and teaching the rules. Therefore, when we educate others and ourselves the rules of copying and cheating there will not be any cases of accidental plagiarism. 

Society nowadays is flooded with online-websites, self help lines, and novels about the dangers of plagiarism and how to avoid it; yet students continue to steal others work for their own. With the over abundance of technological support and the vast variety of reference books and novels it is almost a temptation for students to plagiarize. All the same, students would not feel compelled to plagiarize if teachers would bring all the rules of citation into light. 

If we educate students at a young age that plagiarism is not the way to go then maybe the amount of plagiarism would drop. Furthermore, if there was a mandatory class that students took in their late elementary and throughout secondary schooling plagiarism would not be a major problem like it is today. Similar to the ignorance shared in the better days because of the lack of knowledge about minorities, plagiarism is an issue that most people do not feel entirely confident and comfortable with due to their shortage of education. 

In conclusion, it is the school’s duty to inform and implement the regulations of plagiarism so that students will not accidentally take others idea. Furthermore, students, who are not entirely educated, should not be held totally responsible for not knowing what plagiarism is and how to avoid it.
