Abstract
This paper examines children as spiritual beings and discusses books on the issue of children and faith. This paper also analyzes what makes childrens' faith different from that of adults. In addition, the paper discusses how to nurture the formation of spirituality in children.

From the Paper
"So what makes a child's faith different from that of an adult? The answer might be very simple. Children may not be troubled by what they do not understand. Do we, as adults, really understand the ideas of omnipotence, eternity, and infinity any better than we did when we were children? The answer is no. In fact, going out on a limb, it could be said that as adults we may even have a more difficult time understanding the idea of those things. We struggle to understand, to give meaning, to have all the answers because there is less fear in the known. But in our struggling, our quest to know the spiritual, do we adults lose sight of the complex mystery that is the spirit? The infinity?"

Abstract
This paper explores the benefits of children's television programing, with a special focus on "Sesame Street". The paper provides a brief history of childrens programs as well as of "Sesame Street" specifically, from its first airing in 1969. The paper explains how shows like Sesame Street have enormous benefit in sending a great message to children of all backgrounds and cultures, evident by its translation and creation in many countries from Israel and the Palestinian territories, to Russia, China, Australia etc. The paper concludes with the writer's own experiences of watching t.v. as a kid.

From the Paper
"The recognition of children's television programming as a useful tool for education has been present since the inception of programming that is geared directly towards children and their education. Within the world of children's television there are several mainstay programs which are independently recognized as the gems of educational television. Among the very cream of the crop stands Sesame Street. The program has been around for many years and has been a recognized leader since its first airing in 1969."

Abstract
The paper describes the scenario where a 5-year-old boy witnessed his father out for dinner with a woman who was not his mother and is thus confronted with the moral dilemma of whether or not to tell, in regards to both his mother and father. The paper considers the issue from Piaget's perspective who theorizes that the moral dilemma is essentially a stage above the child's development; he is not entirely equipped with the necessary skills to understand the moral implications of the situation. The paper then looks at Kohlberg's ideas and how he believes that the child's self interest and lack of full logic cannot enable him to make an entirely self-actualized decision. The paper therefore shows how from the perspectives of both Piaget and Kohlberg, the child is not fit to deal with the situation.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"In the case of moral dilemmas, children experience the situation in a rather different fashion than that of adults. This is largely due to the fact that children are in the process of growing and forming their perceptions of the world, and thus their stage of development is to be taken into account when assessing their reaction. In the instance of a moral dilemma, this development is to be of particular note, as some children may not have developed the cognitive abilities necessary to property deal with a particular situation, thereby making the unprepared for both the consequences, and implications, of their decision."

Abstract
This paper is an overview and analysis of the launching of Children's Advil to the general public in the United States. It includes a situation analysis covering company, product, price, place promotion, current environment. It goes into extensive detail about the pain relief market in general, and includes extensive statistics about both the adult and children's markets. It includes a media campaign, and details all of the media options available, with their rankings in order to insure the greatest possible success in the launching of this new product.

From the paper:

"Although the analgesics market is very competitive, the positive market trends, as well as the fact that manufacturers with well-established brands are spending a great deal to educate consumers and pharmacists about the benefits of their products, foretell a painless future for retailers and shoppers alike. In liquids, three of the top five brands are aimed at the children's market. It was these brands that contributed the bulk of the growth in the segment, such as Children's Motrin and Children's Advil, which grew business in drug 8.4 percent and 16.3 percent, respectively. In addition, Pediacare Fever increased sales by roughly 104 percent in the drug channel."

Abstract
This essay discusses how many children's books have been considered classics, but how they have also been challenged as having race and gender bias. Rudyard Kipling's "How The Leopard Got His Spots", Paula Fox's "The Slave Dancer", and Lynne Reid Banks' "The Indian in the Cupboard" are all examined in this context. The paper finds that they have a certain amount of racial bias.

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes the role of children in society, further exploring why children are important to society. The paper also considers how children engage societies. These questions are important when it comes to studying children and their role in society. According to the paper, children play specific roles in society and this can be seen in the social constructions people have of children. These include the way children affect culture whether it is by advertisements or through ideology that children have.

From the Paper
"Children are an important part of every society dating back throughout history. "Childhood is such a universal feature of human life that we readily consider it a natural stage of development. After all, doesn't every society that's ever existed have some people identified as `children" (Newman and Smith)? Why are children important to society? How do children engage in societies? These questions are important when it comes to studying children and their role in society. Children play specific roles in society and this can be seen in the social constructions people have of children including the way..."

Abstract
The paper deals at length with the problem of homeless persons and states that while the homeless population is increasing steadily, the number of children amongst this population has seen the steepest incline. The paper reports that the Institute for Children and Poverty has shown that nearly millions of adolescents are experiencing homelessness. This staggering number means that nearly 2% of all children and approximately 10% of all poor children in America are presently homeless. The paper deals extensively with the problem of educating homeless children by exploring the strategies and tactics put forward by the McKinney-Vento Act in educating homeless children.

From the Paper
"As mentioned above, during the 1970's the streets of America, during the night, were increasingly being occupied by adults and children alike for spending their nights. This phenomenon was exposed by the media and the social advocates along with the policy makers chipped in to being a social change particularly in the education sector. However, research shows that more people, particularly families with small children, are homeless today than they were in the 1970's and the number is steeply rising (Hafetz, 2003). Burt (2001) argued that the while the country progressed economically all through the 1990's, the trickle down affect of this progress could not be seen. In fact, on the contrary, the housing industry got more pressure, which resulted in the increased rents and lack of affordable housing (Burt, 2001). Therefore, homelessness has once again got the front page attention from the media. "

Abstract
The assignment was to meet the specifications of an abstract on HIV/AIDS assistance for children, but to focus on a particular group of children. In this case the focus is on African Children with HIV/AIDS. The paper describes the scope of the problem. Suggestions are then provided for assisting these children from a medical, psychological and economic basis.

From the Paper
Helping Children With HIV/AIDS In Africa Sub-Saharan Africa has been more heavily impacted by HIV/AIDs than any other region of the world. In 2007 alone approximately 22 million Africans were living with HIV. AIDS claimed 1.7 million African lives that same year (AVERT, HIV and AIDS in Africa, 2009). HIV/AIDS has left 12.3 million African children orphaned, a number expected to reach 25 million by 2010. There are currently 1.9 million children living with HIV/AID. That number is expected to rise as well, as up to 46% of the pregnant women in Africa are infected (Firelight Foundation, 2009).

Abstract
This paper argues that children are the future, and when children do not receive adequate education, how will this affect the future of the world? The paper discusses how obstacles (poor education, poverty, child abuse, divorce) that children face today will affect the future of the next generation because children are the future of the world and so changes must be made in the way children are treated.

From the Paper
""Children are our future. They will lead us to many things that we were not able to accomplish. They will take us to higher standards of the world" (Maxwell 6). Children are facing difficulties that will make a difference in their future development, mentally and physically. Over three million children are abused each year (Child Abuse in America). The obstacles (poor education, poverty, child abuse, divorce) that children face today will affect the future of the next generation because children are the future of the world. Children are the future so changes must be made to ensure that they become successful adults."
