Abstract
This paper is a detailed behavioral description of a normal 15-month-old boy, using Greenspan's categories that evaluates developmental integration and analyzes the environmental qualities surrounding the child's development. This paper discusses Greenspan?s developmental skills, mastery of which provides an indication of adaptation or maladaptive behavior: Attends and engages, communicates through gestures and behaviors, creates mental images and shares them and categorizes meanings and makes connections between them. The author believes that observation analysis shows the ways in which general theory can be applied to a specific case, as well as the ways in which the human element can make theoretical learning a much more powerful experience.
From the Paper
"The child observed, Timothy B. (not his real name), is 15 months old. He is the only child of two working professionals. His father is a computer consultant, and his mother owns her own publicity business, which she runs out of their home, located in an affluent suburb of Los Angeles. His parents have been married for five years; they planned Timothy's arrival carefully and do not plan to have other children. All of Timothy's grandparents live in other states, and no other immediate family members live nearby. Timothy spends most of his time with his mother, as his father's work entails long hours. Observations made for this paper did not include any interactions with his father, though other adults interviewed suggested that their relationship seems normal; in fact, Timothy's first spoken word was "Dada," which is common in young children."

Abstract
This paper discusses Mark Twain's story, "Good Little Boy." It describes the plot of the story and the motivation of Twain in writing it. The paper compares the idea of the good little boy encountering troubles with the concepts and religious beliefs of Twain's time. It also discusses how the reader may be disappointed with the outcome of the story and why this would be so.
From the Paper
"The boy goes on to realize that everything turned out the opposite of the way it was depicted in his church literature. It wasn't the good little boys who were rewarded and never broke their legs or had bad things happen to them, but the other way around. He saw that when he tried to do good, bad things happened to him. When he tried to help people or animals, they weren't grateful and blessed him. They were angry and he was the one who got hurt. When he tried to instruct the boys who were disobeying the law, he was punished, but he was still determined to be good."

Abstract
This paper examines the book ?Boys Will be Boys? by Myriam Miedzian which discusses why boys in contemporary America society turn to violence so often. It looks at how Miedzian finds that what we call male behavior is accepted in society as the norm, as if males were violent by nature and so had to act out certain rituals as part of their genetic heritage. It examines how, although Miedzian believes that males are born with a certain predisposition toward violent behavior, external factors such as better parenting and education do have an effect. It compares the views of Miedzian to that of other biological theorists on the evolution of traits in mankind.
From the Paper
"The author finds that this all derives from a view that males are born with a certain predisposition toward violent behavior. As a group, males are more prone to violent behavior, but those who actually exhibit violent behavior seem to be suffering form one or more disabilities, such as learning disabilities, brain injury at birth, maternal alcoholism, and so on. Some see a domineering mother as a cause of violent behavior in the next generation, but the author believes the absentee father is another cause, whether that father be physically absent or merely uninvolved in the raising of his children. Many also believe that males make poor child-nurturers and that if they did involve themselves more in the raising of children, those children would come out much worse off than they do at present. The author argues with this conclusion as well."

Abstract
This paper explains that the fundamental premise of Myriam Miedzian's "Boys will be Boys" is that violence in society can be drastically reduced, both in terms of war and crime, if society is willing to tear down the traditional archetypes of masculinity. The author points out that one of the most common lines of attack that Miedzian takes into consideration is the notion that somehow the male is biologically inclined to be violent, which stems from the argument put forth by a number of socio-biologists. The paper concludes that proposals for changing this archetype are likely to be insufficient in ultimately shifting the perspective held by society because market forces are likely to continue advertising and supporting the male as a figure of action for the simple reason that it is profitable.
From the Paper
"The second powerful argument that Miedzian is forced to grapple with deals with the theories of political realism. Specifically, the idea that violent and aggressive males are advantageous to society because of foreign struggles and wars. Still, she classifies this premise as false and writes, "The 'real men' who run our country are handicapped by the values of the masculine mystique to make rational foreign policy decisions. . . . The masculine mystique teaches men to be tough, to repress empathy, and not to let moral concerns weigh to heavily when the goal is winning." Overall, she believes that these traits are harmful on a large scale and inevitable lead to unnecessary conflict."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Munro's short story is about two young preteen girls, Eva and Carol, and their quest to be noticed by the uninterested boys. The writer discusses that Munro effectively manipulates the obscure rules of pre-teenagers to create the dilemma where Eva and Carol try to attract the other boys' attention using a boat they found.Through Munro's excellent understanding of the preteen rational, the author creates a dilemma for the young Eve and Carol to search the attention they seek, and in turn expresses the reality of such a fragile time period as the preteen years. The writer maintains that it is important that authors like Munro reminds readers of a time with simple rules so people can escape back to that certain time through the artistry of their fictional works.
From the Paper
"It is commonly understood that society abides by a strict unwritten law, and through the various stages of life those rules change drastically. For example, as children: the rules state that a boy and a girl are mutual and utter enemies, but as the children enter the preteen marker, the rules seem to change completely. Eventually, both sexes find themselves fascinated with one another. Yet, by the mandate of puberty, this change does not happen simultaneously, it is the female that goes through these mind and body changes first, and as a result a young preteen girl might start finding interest in the opposite sex but not get the same interest back. Author Alice Munro surely understands this concept and uses it as a palette to paint her short story, "The Found Boat"."

Abstract
The writer studies Alec, a twenty month old, and records his observations of the child and his informal interactions with him. The writer also interviews the parents of the child and then tests the abilities of the child himself. The writer concludes that Alec is right on track, if not advanced, in his development.
From the Paper
"I did my child-study project on a twenty months old buy named Alec. He was born on August 24th 2005. He has two half sisters who are six and eight years old. The family is upper-middle class originally from New Jersey. The mother has bachelors in criminology and masters in teaching. The father has a bachelors degree and owns an electrical company. They are still married.
"Alec is in the Sensorimotor Stage of Piaget's Cognitive-Development theory. The Sensorimotor Substage he is in is the mental representation stage. In this stage children arrive at solutions to problems suddenly rather through trial and error behavior. In doing this they experiment with action inside of their head which is evidence that they can mentally represent experiences."

Middle Childhood, 2007.
This paper evaluates the case of an eight year old boy, playing at a playground, based on a checklist of middle childhood behavior and on child development theories.

Abstract
This paper explains that the observed child is representative of Jean Piaget's concrete operational stage, which occurs between ages 7 and about 12, and the third stage of cognitive development marked by a gradual decrease in centrist thought and the increased ability to focus on more than one aspect of a stimulus. The author points out that, at eight years, children evaluate themselves against the standards of others---parents, peers and teachers; therefore, because their performances often do not measure up to the perceived standards of others, they can feel inadequate and unhappy. The paper relates that this boy has excellent gross motor skills, which is significant because motor skills are important in social interactions at this age. The paper includes the developmental checklist.
From the Paper
"This style of attachment develops from a parenting style, which is more disengaged. The child's needs frequently are not met and the child comes to believe that communication of needs has no influence on the parent. He does not care if his father is there or not, and when some strangers came to the playground with their children he showed them the same attention. He plays with strange children and he does not care if he knows them or not."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to provide a condensed overview of the Biblical Old Testament, as outlined and explored in the book, Old Testament Survey: The Message, Form, and Background of the Old Testament, by William Sanford LaSor, David Allan Hubbard, and Frederic William Bush.
The first point that must be made here is that the point of view of the authors of this meaty volume is tinged heavily by their Christian evangelical attitudes. The authors consider the Old Testament to be not only a historical study of a time and place in history (the Middle East, during the two thousand years before Christ,) but also the precursor to the New Testament, in a purely religious sense.
Thus, the authors emphasize the importance of the old Testament as the foundation upon which Christianity is based, as ... "

Abstract
This paper explains that acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a leukemia in which the lymphoblast cells proliferate abnormally, resulting in the rapid progression of the disease with the abnormal cells easily infiltrating any organ in the body. The author points out that Jimmy has a favorable prognosis because his WBC count of 3,600/uL is within the range that suggests a favorable prognosis. The paper relates that two chronic complications of ALL are infection and bleeding.
Table of Contents
Introduction
Discussion of Jimmy?s Case
Risk Factors for Cancer and Characteristics for a Favorable Prognosis
Pathophysiology ( White Blood Cell Lymphoblast)
Clinical Manifestations and Pathology
Chronic Complications and Pathophysiology
Laboratory Tests: CBC and Uric Acid
Bone Marrow Aspiration Test
Intravenous Fluids and Allopurinol to Prevent Renal Failure
Medications: Allopurinol, Vincristine, Dexamethasone and Asparaginase
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In ALL, a white blood cell lymphoblast becomes genetically altered and begins to clone itself and proliferate. This cloning begins in the bone marrow, where white blood cell production occurs. In healthy individuals, white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow and transferred to the blood on a continuous basis. In individuals with ALL, the same process occurs, except that white blood cell production proceeds at an excessive and uncontrollable rate. The normal blood cell production in the bone marrow provides the blood with the white blood cells. This means that when proliferation occurs, the cells produced naturally are transferred to the blood. These cells are then transported throughout the body. The proliferating cells can also be transported to the thymus, liver, lymph nodes, testes, and the CNS, and can continue to proliferate from those locations. ALL also results in reduced levels of the other components of blood including platelets and red blood cells because the proliferating white blood cells crowd them out."
