How Technology Has Affected The Minds Of Adults And Children, Miavalentina Paula
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
Nowadays, life can be considered more simple, logical, and strategic because of the use of technology. The way technology has developed and affected the world is astronomical. Yet, the use of technology has caused teens and young adults to become “dumber” over time. The mind simply does not work the same way it did 40 years ago. The true definition of dumb is “lacking such fundamental cognitive capacities as the ability to think critically and logically” (Begley, 2014). People quickly blame technology for the lack of skills in children and are quick to call them dumb.

Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
Adolescent students’ (ages 13 to 18) mental health has been affected by the education system. Currently in society, there’s a lack of addressing the problems in school. US School districts compete against each other to get high academic scores. This can lead to an increase of pressure for the students to receive higher scores, rather than focusing on their individual academic potential as the focal point of their own success. This research examines journal articles that identify increased pressure on students through test scores. The expectation to take high achieving classes increases negative stress and rates of mental illnesses. The …

White collar crime has detrimental effects on society, and consists of a destructive nature towards the economy. White collar crime works to make more profit for the rich and cause more hardships to the poor. Due to the lack of conversations on white-collar crime, in comparison to street crime, the public lacks knowledge on its negative effects. White-collar crime lacks media coverage because it does not garner as much attention as street crime. …
De-Escalation Training, Ellia Mora
De-Escalation Training, Ellia Mora
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
De-escalation training has been widely implemented by U.S. police agencies in the wake of adverse public reaction to recent controversial police use of force incidents. Despite the promotion from politicians, academics, expert panels, and the public, we are struggling to see the effects of de-escalation training on officers and police-citizen interactions. Police Brutality is classified as a situation where officers exercise undue or excessive force against a person(Amnesty International 2018). No national standard of training for police means that there is also no national standard on how police officers can be prosecuted for using lethal force improperly. This paper offers …

How Does The Foster System Connect To Juvenile Delinquency?, Mairan Rodriguez
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
Juvenile maltreatment in homes is a large factor in today’s incarcerated youth. Victims of child abuse and neglect are predominant in the foster care system. This issue has grown to where “1/4 of foster care alumni will become involved with the criminal justice system within two years of leaving care.” (Anspach, 2018). These children who experience certain maltreatment while in foster care are at an increased risk of engaging in delinquent behavior. They often move out of the welfare system into the criminal justice system.

Why We Should Defund The Police, Shelby A. Sanchez
Why We Should Defund The Police, Shelby A. Sanchez
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
Ninety-nine percent of the police departments budget throughout the country increases every year into the billions. More money is spent on keeping the “peace” than investing in young students to assure they have a bright future, avoid violence and in return, bring true peace to all communities. Police departments and even some of the population have been conditioned into believing that minority communities are naturally violent, inherently bad and need to be policed heavily. Instead, minority communities need resources and tools to break the cycle of poverty and crime. Defunding the police is a controversial topic and dangerous to bring …

Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
Alcohol and opioid withdrawal is very common, especially in the United States. People, including pregnant women go through withdrawal when they lower the number of substance(s) they have daily or just stop suddenly. Since the body is used to having a high dosage, when it’s lowered or stopped, the body reacts in ways that can be very painful commonly known as withdrawal. As for pregnant women, when they allow these substances in their body, it can be extremely harmful to the baby. These babies can develop conditions such as Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) or Fetal Alcohol (FAS) syndrome. Statistics show …

Problems In The Healthcare System, Julie Suarez
Problems In The Healthcare System, Julie Suarez
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
The healthcare system in the United States is the most prevalent and underemphasized issue in the country. It is not a single entity but rather a collection of people, institutions, and resources that provide health care services. As there are health disparities throughout the USA, navigation in the healthcare system becomes increasingly more difficult, and calls into question of the health literacy of the average American. Even as complex as this topic may seem, every citizen and individual should be aware that negotiation is always on the table and is a given right under a democratic republic. As such, a …

Promoting Employer Desired Competencies Through A Multiphased "Workgroup" Project, Ashly Smith
Promoting Employer Desired Competencies Through A Multiphased "Workgroup" Project, Ashly Smith
International Journal for Business Education
Employers and business leaders have long been advocating for the importance of career readiness skills like critical thinking/problem solving, information literacy, teamwork/collaboration, professionalism/work ethic, and oral/written communication (NACE, 2019; Partnership, 2008). While faculty and students see value in projects that develop these skills, such projects can be some of the most challenging to incorporate effectively into business courses (Chapman et al., 2010; Detmering & Johnson, 2012; Lee et al., 2016; Marks & O’Connor, 2013). This article reports on a multi-phase group project that aims to strengthen a selection of these employer-desired skills while ameliorating student concerns about the research process …
