Examining The Coping Resources Of Polyvictimized Youth And Young Adults, Zachary Robert Myers
Examining The Coping Resources Of Polyvictimized Youth And Young Adults, Zachary Robert Myers
College of Education and Human Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Bullying represents a significant concern for many youth and young adults in the United States and abroad. However, the growth of technology has allowed for new platforms in which perpetrators can engage in bullying behaviors, such as text and video messaging, social media applications, and online gaming. In addition, research has suggested that the majority of cyberbullied individuals experience co-occurring in-person victimization as well. These trends are concerning, given that findings within both the traditional and cyberbullying literatures place victimized youth at-risk for a host of social and emotional concerns. However, research has yet to fully explore the unique experiences …

College of Education and Human Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
In 2018, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Nadia Murad, a Yazidi woman who captured the attention of the world with her story of survival from the combatant and abusive hands of ISIS.

Student Perceptions Of Bullying Victimization: Associations With Student Engagement And Teacher Support, Allen Garcia
Student Perceptions Of Bullying Victimization: Associations With Student Engagement And Teacher Support, Allen Garcia
College of Education and Human Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Bullying is a serious, complex problem that affects school-aged youth. Years of research on bullying has provided evidence that bullying victimization is linked with adverse outcomes for youth; however, researchers have yet to fully investigate how bullying victimization and maladjustment is associated with student engagement, and whether teacher support is a protective factor for victimized youth. A social-ecological perspective was used to guide the study given that a person’s bullying behaviors are related and interconnected to a network of systems and relationships in their environment.The purpose of the study was to investigate middle school students’ perspectives on bullying victimization (i.e., …

Wind River Reservation, Wyoming, Heartland Center For Leadership Development
Wind River Reservation, Wyoming, Heartland Center For Leadership Development
Heartland Center for Leadership Development Materials
The people of the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming view entrepreneurship as the key to future survival. Entrepreneurship, they say, will encourage more people to shop locally, while attracting more outside dollars into the community. Locally owned businesses are important for a community that faces such challenges as a 54% unemployment rate, 28% living on per-capita payments to tribal members, and 62% living below the poverty level. While there are many opportunities for economic development, the twist is finding the right strategy and maintaining traditional cultural and tribal values that are important to the two tribes that share this reservation.

Looking through a historical, social, and psychological manner over the use of technology, Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World envision the benefits and dangers of technology in society, the parallels to technology’s role in the classroom, and what the overall role technology in schools should be when it comes to how much power devices and tools should be given in a classroom. While both novels provide two sides of the argument over the endorsement or rejection of technology, it will be shown in Enhancing the Art & Science of Teaching with Technology by Sonny Magana & …

Successful Psychopaths, Amber Magallon
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
In the modern world, psychopaths are seen as nothing more than murderers or criminals. Psychopaths are those without empathy and emotions. They are callous, manipulative, and reckless. People may see these people as one thing, but they are actually many psychopaths who are thriving in the corporate world. They are business leaders, CEO’s, and politicians. There is that slight possibility that they are actually helping not hurting the world of work. Is this really true? The question remains unanswered, but there is proof to prove both sides of the argument.
● Around 1% of the population are psychopaths ● The …

Corruption Within The U.S. Justice System, Aleida Montanez
Corruption Within The U.S. Justice System, Aleida Montanez
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
The U.S. criminal justice system has let down the American people when it comes to justice, and those failures not only impact the victims but the society as a whole. The judicial system was implemented around the 17th century, and corruption quickly followed it not long after. Although the justice system maintains some order in our society, it is not very effective when it comes to preventing any form of corruption within the justice system itself. The criminal justice system has empowered corporations and authoritative people to break the law and get away with it.

Domestic violence is generally defined as the use or threat of physical, sexual or emotional force by a partner. This research examines when a partner starts to physically or mentally abuse their significant other. Often the abuser assures their victim “they won’t do it again” yet continues to abuse their partner. Many factors contribute to the reasons a victim stays in an abusive relationship. One of the reasons a victim stays is because they want their partner to change. Although the exact reason as to why an abuser starts to abuse cannot be determined, there are signs in a person’s …

Opioids: The Epidemic, Jocelyn Covarrubias
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
The new epidemic in the United States is a storm of the most powerful classification of drugs: opioids. Opioids are one of the most helpful yet dangerously addictive painkillers in the world. Illegal prescriptions and street drugs like heroin have plummeted the United States into the worst drug epidemic in the last decade.
● Heroin is an illicit drug but Hydrocode, Codeine, Fentanyl, etc., are not. They all require a prescription written from a doctor. ● Illegal prescriptions have played a big part in this epidemic. In 2012 alone, 259 million prescriptions were written, That is more than enough for …
