Importance of play on child development

JOURNAL ARTICLES REVIEW
Read and review three journal articles (research studies) on a topic of interest to you in the field of child development. *All three articles MUST relate to the SAME topic. Journal articles must be research based. This means they must discuss the data collected, report their findings, etc. Possible topics include effects of video games/technology on the brain, fetal alcohol syndrome, ADHD, mental health issues in childhood, prenatal drug exposure, nutrition, child abuse, birth order, bonding, self-esteem, blended families, effects of television, effects of child care on children’s development, school readiness, children of divorce, learning disabilities, importance of play, discipline, cross-cultural child rearing, etc. This is not an exhaustive list but rather represents a broad spectrum of possibilities. If you are uncertain whether a topic is appropriate, please send me a message with your idea and I will get right back to you.
Please try to use the Delta Library resources available to you either online or in person to gather research for this project. Popular magazines (People, Cosmo, etc.) and newspaper articles are NOT research studies and will be disallowed. This is intended to be a research-based assignment using the library. Please use this link to access the Delta Library:
http://library.deltacollege.edu
Another resource you may wish to consult is Google Scholar. http://www.scholar.google.com
Your review must include the following information which will be written up as three separate entities (you will complete Part I for EACH of the three articles) but submitted in one assignment into the portal:
Part I
A. Bibliographic information for each article: Title, journal name, volume, date of publication, pages numbers or web site (points will be deducted for incomplete information. If you review an article and the required information is not available, i.e. no author’s name, indicate that the information is not available).
B. A brief summary of each article. (Retyping the abstract if the article has an abstract is NOT acceptable. Use your own words).
C. Type of research (Was it a case study, a naturalistic observation, a survey, an experiment, etc? If the type of research conducted is not evident, indicate so and then give it your best guess).
D. Purpose of each of the articles

E. Population studied in each article (Infant, toddlers, preschoolers, school age children parents of infants, etc?)

F. Conclusions presented in the article (not your personal conclusions about the article).
Part II
Critique of the three articles reviewed (Part II is only done once):
A. Compare AND contrast the results of the three articles. Were they consistent with each other? If not, how did they differ? What was the reason for the differences, in your opinion? Thoughtful, objective critiques are expected. This section must be at least three fully developed paragraphs in length since you are comparing and contrasting the results of three articles. Points will be deducted for a short comparing/contrasting section of the review.
B. *Do you feel that these articles would be valuable for parents, teachers, or child caregivers to read? Why or why not? Would you recommend them? (Please, no snow jobs. If you felt they were valuable, say so. If not, say so. Your grade is not based on whether or not you agree with me or anyone else and one of the purposes of this assignment is to learn that a lot of good stuff is out there and that a lot of junk is out there).
C. *What value did you derive from reading these articles? Note: When summarizing and citing the conclusions of the articles, you must present information in your own words. Many times I have read student reviews that state “the results of our research indicate…” Hmm… did the student really conduct the research? I think not! Use your words and resist the temptation to copy from journal articles and research reports, aka plagiarism. Plagiarists get zeros.
Your journal article review should be at least 1000 words in length and points will be deducted for incorrect spelling and grammar.

Write your response in a business style in which you make recommendations and back it up with your reasons or research you completed.

Write a brief essay in which you describe the difference between a linear function and a quadratic function.

A quadratic function is a type of nonlinear function that models certain situations. As an object falls, its speed continues to increase, so its height above the ground decreases at a faster and faster rate. One can model the object’s height with the function h = –16t2 + c. The height h is given in feet above the ground after the time t is given in seconds, and the object’s initial height c is given in feet. Using the Text Editor, write a brief essay in which you describe the difference between a linear function and a quadratic function. Provide specific details regarding the appearance of the two functions and their graphs. Describe how a quadratic function and a linear function might go together, and what the graph might look like. Additionally, describe the plan or steps to solving the problem below to help you support your assertions:

A pinecone drops from a tree branch that is 20 feet above the ground. The function h = –16t2 + 20 is used. If the height h of the pinecone is in feet after t seconds, at about what time does the pinecone hit the ground?

What was the most frequent dollar amount given?

Beginning of Analysis
Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length, and is due on Sunday. By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers.
Last week, we looked at a scenario in which:
ABC Enterprises is a growing company in which employees must frequently travel for business. Currently, each employee is allotted 30 dollars each day to cover all meals. Employees have complained that this is not enough, especially when traveling to some of the more costly cities and countries. A survey was taken to get recommendations for a new allotment. Although not all responded, the response rate was good.
This week, you are going to use several key numbers to interpret the data. Open the EXCEL Spreadsheet you downloaded last week. Make sure you navigate to the Week 2 tab.
Calculate the following in EXCEL.
Mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation of the SAMPLE,
Then, answer these questions.
What was the most frequent dollar amount given? Does that number seem to be in alignment with the other measures of central tendency? Why or why not?
What is standard deviation? Does the standard deviation show that the data is clumped all together or spread apart?
Let’s say that the data is normally distributed. The assigned chapters of the week mention the Empirical Rule. What dollar amount range is one standard deviation from the mean? What percentage of values are within one standard deviation from the mean?
Using that same Empirical rule and let’s say the data is normally distributed, in what monetary range do 95.44% of all the responses fall?
What is your analysis of what the company should do? What should the new dollar amount be? Why?

Explain how police brutality happened in different states and countries.

I’m here to introduce the topic of police brutality and how police are assaulting black people because they were fighting for civil rights. Early records suggest that labor strikes were the first large-scale incidents of police brutality in the United States, including events like the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, the Pullman Strike of 1894, the Lawrence textile strike of 1912, the Ludlow massacre of 1914, the Great Steel Strike of 1919, and the Hanapepe …So African American people been fighting for their rights for a long time and people still did not get their full rights. But I feel like it hasn’t gotten any better because the police are still killing African American men for no reason or overcharging them like giving more years for little charges. And it’s never gonna get better because some white people just can’t stand African Americans. My goal is to show that African American people have been harassed their whole life and people have died over it for trying to get equal rights for black people and their community.
How police brutality happened in different states and countries

This article talks about how police brutality started and how it started to grow bigger and start to affect more colored black young men. “INTRODUCTION: AFRICAN AMERICANS, POLICE BRUTALITY, AND THE U.S. CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. This study interests me because I have young friends that are colored too and I wouldn’t. This article was made in 2013 he is the professor and chair of black and Latino studies. This article is a secondary source article because it brings up other dates etc from other sources. This article talks about how the police patrolled the black communities. Spruill, Larry H. “Slave Patrols, ‘Packs of Negro Dogs’ and Policing Black Communities.” This book is in a secondary source because it brings up different dates. This book was published. I chose this topic because I also wanted to learn more about my history and what happened to a lot of African Americans. The author is tryna say the cops have more rights but we marched to try to get the same rights as white people. Also, the book talks about how police treat African Americans as dogs and they didn’t care what happened to them. The date this book was published was in 2016. “Blacks and Law Enforcement: TOWARDS POLICE BRUTALITY REDUCTION.” The article focuses on police brutality and how African Americans got treated. This article was a source in 1986 and this article was a secondary source because it talks about a war etc that happened in 1986. The author concludes that African Americans should not get treated that way. They only get treated like that because of their skin color. But as we got later in the years I don’t think anything has changed because cops are still killing people and still getting arrested for no reason. These articles are the same because they are explaining how young black boys are getting treated badly because young black people didn’t deserve it. Some black men got killed and went to jail for no crime they were just picked on by the police.

The significance of black men and the effects that affect their life

The effects of them being racially accused because if things happen to colored men the police are only gonna blame the colored men if they were white they would get less time and a slap on the wrist. This is showing that young black kids are being stereotyped by the police. This article talks about Tupacś Shakur’s life legacy and how he tried to follow his mom’s footsteps by representing black people. This article was written in 2014 in the spring. This article is in the second person perspective because Tupac didn’t write this article someone wrote the article on him. I chose this article because I wanna see what he did to try to help colored people and how he did it. Also, he was debating the continues of black males for the hip hop generation and to keep everyone motivated. This article focuses on the way black teens were raised like so what in jail or dead didn’t even finish high school. And it talks about how African American teens got it worse than white teens. Black teens got it worse because the police try to slay most of the black kids but kids white kids a slap on the wrist and give them more chances in life. In this article on police brutality by Lee, it talks about different studies and how judges have handled it. And one case study says that 5 officers committed a crime and they didn’t get any consequences for it. And people think that he should have been convicted because of what the police officers did. Also, people did interviews and they felt like people should have gone to jail and they didn’t go to jail. All these texts are similar because they talk about how black would face more consequences than any white kid because of their skin color are how police perceive black people. Throughout these texts, they are similar because the Authors are saying police are wrong for harassing the young black men up. And the police don’t get accused of anything that they do.

The consequences they had to face were being racially profiled and harassed

These articles talk about the consequences young black teens have to go through for being colored and having a hard time growing up because they are racially profiled or assaulted. That racial violence is wrong because some people get seriously hurt from it. Using a secondary source to collect data, the authors provide evidence the study is of interest to me and my research on police brutality because I wanted to see what people went through growing up and how they dealt with it. I can use this study to think about my own research design by Discussing the topic and explaining ideas on how I could get rid of them. The author includes important dates and why they would happen. The article focuses on the riots and police which means they use riot shields for black people. This title is called police and riots by ANTHONY DANIEL PEREZ. Also, this includes the reasons why white didn’t like colored people and why they used to use their riot shields. This is a secondary source because they weren’t there but the person is telling a secondary part in where and what had happened. Also, it talks about the Boston police and how they attacked and harmed people in Boston for protesting. These topics interest me because it shows how they were treating black and how they didn’t care about what they did to colored people. I can use this
