Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is a program that was initiated to assist needy families in becoming self-reliant. This program is an improvement of the Aid to Families with Dependent Children that also served the same function since 1935. TANF is usually funded by the federal government which provides block grants to states who use the funds to state programs for assisting needy families. TANF block grant is distributed to meet various goals. For instance, TANF provides care to these needy families to facilitate caring for children in their own home or relatives’ home. Furthermore, TANF aims to decrease the dependence of parents through promoting work opportunities. Additionally, TANF typically aims at encouraging and maintaining two-parent families and reducing incidences of out of wedlock conceptions. However, the eligibility requirements for TANF have been quite strict, restricting several needy families from receiving the block grant. According to Floyd (2020), very few families have access to the TANF program compared to its predecessor. Families are required to meet the set financial criteria for every state for…

The Impact of Social Policies on Government serving Women Until I talked to a group of politicians in the United States and Sweden, I had never known that both countries had different proportions of women serving in government and actively participating in national politics. I could barely imagine that the United States, with its worldwide-known civilization and democracy, could register a lower number of women politicians and government-employed women than Sweden. Surprisingly, discussion sessions in each of the two countries indicated that Swedish women were more likely to attend a political function than American women, raising concern about what could be causing such disparities. Grounding the issue, it clearly came out that social policies, particularly the parental leave, contributed significantly to women’s participation in political events and functions. The fact that some countries, such as Sweden, had longer and paid parental leave gave women ample time and opportunity to participate in other society events, including politics, without being worried about time wastage and missed payments. Conversely, other countries, such as the United States, provided shorter and unpaid parental leave, denying…

Background Rationale Scope Significance Research question Literature review Methods Findings and discussion Recommendation and conclusion   REFLEXIVE AND EMPHATIC USES OF SELF-FORMS IN ENGLISH  A CORPUS-BASED STUDY DISTINCTIVE SYNTACTICAL AND SEMANTIC PROPERTIES DEMONSTRATED BY AUTHENTIC SAMPLES   INTRODUCTION Background Reflexive or self-pronouns make up an inherent part of the reflexive constructions in English. Sometimes, a sentence has a subject and object as the same thing. An example is; I love myself. I represent the subject and also the item in the sentence. A person can phrase the word as either a direct or indirect object in the sentence. They have a dual function in the sentence: as indicators of reflexivity and as intensifiers used for emphasis. In both cases, they express the relation between the event participants that refer to the same entity. Most linguists view this type of pronouns as indicators of reflexivity, but in the meantime, stressing their emphatic use in exceptional cases. It is also worth mentioning that some linguists single out reflexive pronouns used in the second function as emphatic pronouns…

Article Analysis: Why so men are cooking A The flame has called out and raised our race from its rudimentary origins since the dawn of humanity and has put us at the forefront of planet Earth’s supremacy. This flame has brought us from the cave to space, transforming how society communicates with each other. People glaze over one neglected activity while thinking about humanity’s incredible accomplishments in the kitchen and how the culinary arts have improved humanity. Time has advanced, and gender roles may have firmly developed that women are traditionally the masters of the kitchen. Still, men must restructure the old-fashioned concepts of the 1950s every day. Each day, more and more people talk about the significance of men engaging in culinary duties and changing the kitchen atmosphere to a more collaborative partnership. Racheal Premack, in her article, “why so many men are cooking,” she believes that rather than a recipe book, at-home chefs tend to be more likely to cook with an iPhone. They’re most inclined to take motivation from a video on Facebook. And on Instagram or…

The concept of big data has become an increased subject in recent times. First, before indulging in big data, one needs to know the meaning of data. Data refers to raw facts in the form of characters, quantities, or symbols manipulated and processed into meaningful information (Debnath,2019). Big data, therefore, refers to a group of data or a large volume of data that poses a challenge in terms of handling them with software or traditional hardware (Anderson & semmerlroth,2015). This set of data arises from the expansion of raw facts from various fields, thus making it difficult to store such data. The big data differs from data stored in databases in that it acquires different forms, from structured, semi-structured to unstructured, and its enormous. These data arise from day to day activities. For instance, from search engines in the internet and social media, to mention a few. There are different types of big data: structured, unstructured, and semi-structured (Debnath,2019). Structured means the data presentation appears in a fixed format. Unstructured data does not appear in a particular order or form,…

Success is, in most cases, the product of failure since one has to fail to succeed. The term success elicits different meanings depending on the person answering the question. There are different parameters for measuring success, depending on the individual as well as collective factors. Most people associate success with business only, whereas people become successful in almost all the other areas of life. Success, however, means accomplishing the desired goals and aspirations, meaning one can succeed in multiple areas. Success is defined as the act of achieving the goals set, characterized by goals, aspirations, and patience, similar to the conventional definition, and it can be demonstrated by my Japanese friend, who has remained successful in keeping his language. Success refers to the achievement of the goal/purpose set when commencing an activity. Some of the characteristics of being successful, including being goal-driven, having aspirations, and patience. Successful people are always driven by a goal in that they have what they want to achieve after a particular period and engage the necessary mechanisms to achieve.

Importance and Consequences of OBAMA CARE Introduction Obama care is a federal statute in the United States of America, formally known as affordable care and patient protection. It was signed by former US president Barack Obama to represent the health care system on 23rd march 2010 to regulate and expand Medicare coverage to all citizens, especially the low-income earner, though the government’s support. The judicial ruling was also expressed through federal governance. The affordable care act (ACA) was signed and started functioning in 2014, and half of the population was ensured by the end of two years. It had a significant impact on the citizens since it had employed and non-employed based insurance cover, which lowered the medical cost (Opel, 2018 p 16-25). The process brought about equality and inclusivity to all the citizens. It is funded through the cuts of Medicare rates, new taxes, and Medicare advantages. Obama care faced many legal challenges and political opposition before it came to pass, but it came to pass through the Supreme Court ruling. Therefore the Act is of great importance to…

Preserving the Lakes in North Carolina Diseases caused by pollution of the lakes of North Carolina have risen over the years. Aquatic animals in the lakes have suffered from the pollution of the lakes in North Carolina. I am taping my knowledge and time in helping preserve the lakes in North Carolina so that I can help reduce diseases caused by pollution of the lakes in North Carolina. The lakes in North Carolina have a great value to our economy. For generations now, North Carolina citizens have been drinking water from the lakes in North Carolina. The lakes provide a tourist attraction, and it’s where we go for summer holidays. Slowly by slowly, the lakes have been polluted by our industries. Statistics predict that there will be no rivers for recreation in two generations to come, no fish to fish from our rivers. The thought of all of this fading away makes me want to give my best in helping to preserve lakes in North Carolina. My drive towards this project is to want future generations to experience what we…
