Homeless individuals commonly come from families who are riddled with problems and marital disharmony, and are
alienated from their parents. They have often been physically and even sexually abused, have relocated frequently,
and many of them may be asked to leave home or are actually thrown out, or alternatively are placed in group homes
or in foster care. They often have no one to care for them and no one knows them intimately.

Many homeless experience isolation in part due to suffering from abuse or neglect during their childhood (Rokach,
2005).

To the extent that a woman's self-image is challenged or threatened by an

unattainable ideal of an impossibly thin female physique, she may well
become susceptible to disruption of her self-regard, and may be more likely
to develop an eating disorder.

Paraphrase in Paper (APA)

If a woman interprets the media's representation of thinness as the ideal she

must achieve, her sense of self-esteem might be threatened and even
damaged, making her more likely to exhibit disordered eating patterns
(Polivy & Herman, 2004, p. 2).

Solomon and Vazire (2014) found that “romantic partners maintain both biased and realistic views of
a core relationship trait: physical attractiveness” (p. 524).

Paragraph 1

Sociocultural pressure on women to be thin has been blamed for the development of eating
disorders. Despite decades of research, however, it is still not clear why few women exposed to
these pressures develop eating disorders, but most women in the society do not. The media are
often blamed for spreading the message that women must be thin, and for making women feel badly
about themselves. This view seems overly simplistic, however, ignoring the fact that women
voluntarily expose themselves to thin media images, that such exposure can actually be pleasurable,
and that most women exposed to this message do not develop eating disorders. The sociocultural
model of eating disorders needs further study and refinement, and the studies in this special issue
represent steps in that process. (Polivy & Herman, 2004, p. 2).

 Even more destructively, they get the message that this is possible, that, with enough
effort and self-sacrifice, they can achieve this ideal. Thus many girls spend enormous
amounts of time and energy attempting to achieve something that is not only trivial but also
completely unattainable. The glossy images of flawlessly beautiful and extremely thin
women that surround us would not have the impact they do if we did not live in a culture
that encourages us to believe we can and should remake our bodies into perfect
commodities. These images play into the American belief of transformation and ever-new
possibilities, no longer via hard work but via purchase of the right products.

The problem is not simply that these ads featuring flawlessly beautiful
women constantly bombard us. The second part of advertising's
manipulation is that we live within a culture that tells us we can remake
ourselves into whatever we want to become if we only work hard enough to
do so. When paired with the unattainable ideal of flawless beauty, this hard
work is nothing more than the message to buy, buy, buy. The woman
herself becomes the commodity. (Kilbourne, 1999, p. 132).

Federal and state governments should step up to help streamline and shore up the
nation’s disjointed recycling system. This could be done, for example, by
standardizing what can be recycled and putting limits on additives such as coloring,
which is expensive to remove and can make plastic less valuable to a recycler.

Measures to correct the American system of recycling forces the the governmental
involvement of to ensure uniform guidelines throughout the nation (What to Do
about Plastic Pollution, 2019).

The sudden outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-

2) has had a profound impact on diverse aspects of the world, including economies,
societies and international relations. Scientific and technological innovation have played
a core role in fighting this ‘war without smoke’, and scientific culture has also
demonstrated its power to inspire and unite people to overcome difficulties together.
Through concrete action, scientific professionals in China have demonstrated a spirit of
patriotism, innovation, truth-seeking, dedication and teamwork and shown great
compassion and shared humanity. In that sense, the COVID-19 pandemic shows the
importance of developing scientific culture.

Science and technology have played important roles in COVID-19 prevention and

and education was moved to students’ homes. Consequently, many
countries faced the challenge of an unanticipated and accelerated move to
online learning. This represents a crucial time to consider technology,
pedagogy and education. Digital technology played a significant role in
enabling teachers to teach students at a distance using tools that enabled
both synchronous and asynchronous communication with whole class,
groups and individual children or young people; access to learning materials;
and interactive and collaborative activities. This special issue examines how
jurisdictions worldwide responded, the emerging opportunities and
considerations; and what we can learn moving forward for the contemporary
role of technology in education in times of crisis.

modern era is the consequence of science and technology.

planned or unplanned, gradual or sudden, change is inevitable and very much part of
being human. Over the past few months, we’ve experienced an unprecedented
shift in our way of life due to COVID-19.

This pandemic also brought challenges to every country’s economy, communication,

education, and tourism. Despite all the challenges we can still move forward with the help of
modern technologies as well as science. Science and technology are the essences of our
everyday life and contributed to promoting various aspects of our lives, it also played
important roles in COVID-19 prevention and control, as well as help us to adopt and
continue with our lives, with our businesses and education.

As this pandemic continues, we can say that there are still many solutions in every
challenges we face. Thus, we can conclude that science and technology are an
inevitable part of our lives. Their presence is the reason for our improved lifestyle. The
development that we see around us is a result of science and technology.
Pre-pandemic, who would’ve thought that toilet paper could become as precious as
gold! And now, a trip to do a weekly grocery shop seems like an adventure of its own!
Before we know it, we’ve (reluctantly) let go of our old normal and now settling into what
seems to be our new normal.

Schools and universities have moved online

 Science and technology have brought specific changes in the education sector.
The availability of online books, online classes, e-library has greatly helped the
students and teachers. At present any type of information can be obtained with
just one click.
