Though her final breath was taken in 1994, seven-year-old Megan Kanka has changed, and possibly even saved the lives of many Americans. Megan may have died on July 29, but since that day, her legacy lives on. Megan’s mother said she believes that Megan was destined to die in order to save the lives of other children (www.pennlive.com/news/expresstimes/stories/molesters5_mainbar.html). By inspiring the Megan Kanka Foundation and giving America a reason for Megan’s Laws Megan is still benefiting America today, by giving families and kids the resources to stay safe, and learn about sexual
Edu10002 understanding language and literacy Smitha Rallapalli Student number: 100637372 Assessment Task 1 The topic I chose is about what Emotional help is available for the survivors of Domestic Violence, due to the circumstances being a victim would cause loss of hope. After a good search about the topic I selected four sources that helped me to learn more about my topic. My first source is domestic Violence Support Group a social website (“Domestic violence support group” , 2010) is a Facebook page created in 2010 by Emily and Ally who are victims of domestic violence, this is an active page which has above 20000 likes and more than 130 active participants, this webpage supports people who need advice, both men and women survivors and victims to express their thoughts and feelings and share their experiences, this page helped me to understand more about the topic by using social constructivism theory , it gave me an overview on kind of support available to the survivors by reading and by participating through the social interactions it let me dwell deep into the topic on how survivors thoughts would be, and how they are supported.

Instead, the duration of forgiveness therapy and termination of therapy is decided by the client (Reed & Enright, 2006).

The company basically personified itself as a woman that is caring and successful role model for women. This strategy has been particularly successful in increasing sales and establishing presence in the domestic market, but Mary Kay Cosmetics has not been able to transfer this success to international markets. The company has been selling products overseas for over 15 years, and the share of international sales have been at a dismal 11% of total sales compared to its rivals. The failure of Mary Kay Cosmetics in replicating its domestic success in foreign markets is the primary issue that will be addressed in this case. The analysis of this case will help us understand the process Mary Kay Cosmetics took to internationalization of the firm, reasons why the approach the company took to internationalization hasn't worked, and why its competitors are more effective in foreign markets.

BODY IMAGE ABSTRACT The study aimed to determine the connection and measure the influential effects exposure to pervasive beauty images have on how female adolescents view their body. Recent findings have revealed that regardless the age, weight or size, at some point women experience body dissatisfaction (Paquette & Raine, 2004). All subjects were female adolescents ranging from sixteen and nineteen years of age. All subjects were equally put into groups. The control group (n=20) was solely given the Body Image self-report questionnaire to complete and the experimental group (n=20) were required to watch a 2.21 minute clip from one of ‘Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’.
The young girl went on to explain how practicing safe sex will help lower the rate of STDs and prevent unwanted pregnancies. Knox faced many discouragements from the school officials, however her primary goal remained the same and that was to reach the teens about practicing safe sex. “We decided sex education was going to be our issue because we all knew somebody who had been touched by the high rates of STDs and teen pregnancy (873)” This is why I chose this topic because everybody can relate to this subject. I’ve known people who have had life changing experiences so young, while in high school my cousin became pregnant; I had numerous friends who had been touched by the high rates of STDs, and others who have had many abortions due to the lack of comprehensive sex education. “I think that God wants you to question, “Knox said.
Obscenity and profanity can help people accept reality by allowing them a way to cope. Both are useful tools in conveying emotions and adequately getting thoughts across. Someone may not get the full idea of how they should view something until they are met with obscene images. An example would be abortion. Some people think that there is no harm happening; it is just ending an unwanted pregnancy for whatever reason.
