Child A and his one older sister, Child B, all live at home with Mum and Dad. It was first noticed that Child A had additional needs when he started nursery, where he didn’t settle or mix with the other children. Child A was diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in 2011; he also experiences a lot of difficulties with anxiety. While there are some things that are known triggers for the anxiety, such as being touched, it is often not clear what has caused it. This means that some of Child A’s behaviour, actions and reactions can also be inconsistent and unpredictable. (Reference K2)…
In the case of Honig v. Doe, it was the first case to reach the Supreme Court dealing with discipline of special education students. This case took place in 1988 after two students from the San Francisco School District with emotional disabilities and aggressive tendencies were threatened with expulsion. John Doe (a pseudonym) was a socially and physically awkward 17 year-old who had difficulty controlling his impulses and anger. From early on in school, physical abnormalities, speech difficulties, and poor grooming habits resulted in his being the target of classmates teasing and ridiculing him. One day, in response to taunts from a fellow student at a developmental center for disabled students, he reacted in an explosive manner anticipated by his individualized education (IEP). He choked a student with enough force to leave abrasions on the boy’s neck. Afterwards, while being taken to the principal’s office, John kicked out a window. John was suspended from school for 5 days. The principal recommended that he be expelled. A lawsuit was filed, and the federal district court issued a temporary order directing the school to return John to his then current educational placement.…

The failure of the Enron Corporation in the late 2001, apart from signaling the largest corporate bankruptcy in the USA, has raised several questions about the effectiveness of the contemporary accounting, auditing, and corporate governance practices. The committee followed all the rules that were put in place by the board. “However, it is said that the audit committee deserves much of the blame for Enron’s collapse and the corporate governance movement deserves much of the blame for the Enron audit committee. Governance experts say the audit committee’s lack of independence made it less inclined to question management.” (Lavelle, 2002). Businesses collapsing, like Enron, can be prevented. “Those executives can be criminally penalized for misleading auditors. For a successful corporate governance, board members should be properly inducted, trained and developed. The pros and cons of different types of corporate governance need to be explored and best practice disseminated. There needs to be more company sponsored practical researcher on governance, rather than the black box it often is at present.” (Vinten,…

Where entertainment is use to convince people of the phrase “everyone belongs to everyone”, and becomes a society that is always happy, no problems, and organized.…
