There is a great concern in Europe and North America about declining standards of literacy in schools. In Britain, the fact that 30 percent of 16 year olds have a reading age of 14 or less has helped to prompt massive educational changes. The development of literacy has far-reaching effects on general intellectual development and thus anything which impedes the development of literacy is a serious matter for us all. So the hunt is on for the cause of the decline in literacy. The search so far has focused on socio-economic factors, or the effectiveness of 'traditional' versus 'modern' teaching techniques.
The fruitless search for the cause of the increase in illiteracy is a tragic example of the saying 'They can't see the wood for the trees'. When teachers use picture books, they are simply continuing a long-established tradition that is accepted without question. And for the past two decades, illustrations in reading primers have become increasingly detailed and obtrusive, while language has become impoverished - sometimes to the point of extinction.
Amazingly, there is virtually no empirical evidence to support the use of illustrations in teaching reading. On the contrary, a great deal of empirical evidence shows that pictures interfere in a damaging way with all aspects of learning to read. Despite this, from North America to the Antipodes, the first books that many school children receive are totally without text.
A teacher's main concern is to help young beginner readers to develop not only the ability to recognise words, but the skills necessary to understand what these words mean. Even if a child is able to read aloud fluently, he or she may not be able to understand much of it: this is called 'barking at text'. The teacher's task of improving comprehension is made harder by influences outside the classroom. But the adverse effects of such things as television, video games, or limited language experiences at home, can be offset by experiencing 'rich' language at school.

The increasingly young crime is no longer the story of the authorities alone, but it is the story of each family, society and the youth themselves. Just because of a moment of not being able to control oneself, the consequences behind each case are always tears, pain... and that pain will be even greater when the perpetrators are just boys and girls who have just started their lives and lost their future, their youth... This reality requires solutions soon, education, prevent and stop the current trend of juvenile crime.
Juvenile crime is one of the criminal groups of high concern in all countries. In Vietnam, criminals under the age of 18 have a specific nature and are defined by law as a separate group of subjects with special policies. According to the provisions of Vietnamese criminal law, people aged 14 years and older must bear criminal responsibility in some cases, and people aged 16 years and older must bear criminal responsibility for all criminal acts. Article 12 of the 2015 Penal Code stipulates: "Persons 16 years of age or older must be criminally responsible for all crimes, except for crimes otherwise prescribed by this Code."
However, reality shows that the situation of juvenile crime is becoming more and more complicated, and the age of crime is getting younger and younger. There are people who are just teenagers but have committed serious crimes such as robbery, murder, drug trafficking and use.
There are even many "children" who commit crimes that are organized, purposeful, calculated, and plotted to commit crimes clearly and clearly, causing serious consequences, but many cases are difficult to handle, and cannot be prosecuted because he is not old enough for criminal responsibility. These situations pose many problems in researching, developing and amending legal regulations, decrees and guiding circulars to suit reality.

A lack of diverse love, such as interracial love, LGBTQIA+ love, and many other forms of love in mainstream media, may harm one’s perception of love. Media often dictates views of what love “should” look like, which is shown to children and people who are impressionable. When a young BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ child only sees heterosexual or white couples on TV, they might assume that the type of relationships they crave are unhealthy or unrealistic. They may believe that they must hide themselves or seek out unfulfilling or traumatic relationships.
Alternatively, media that depicts many different instances of love can positively affect those it represents. Diverse representation also has the potential to widen the lens of love for those who may hold a limited view. Another potentially harmful effect of modern media comes from idealizing certain unhealthy relationship behaviors, such as jealousy, possessiveness, and controlling behavior. While these characteristics are often portrayed as romantic or passionate on screen, these behaviors are detrimental to the health and functionality of a relationship in real life.
An example of this behavior comes from the movie and book series Twilight. In the series, a main character pursues his love interest by obsessing over her with possessive behaviors, including sneaking into her house and watching her sleep. Although portrayed as romantic in the movie, this behavior would be illegal and scary in real life.
When a child or adult sees this portrayal of love in their media acted out by attractive actors and actresses pretending to be in love, they may believe that the behavior is romantic. If someone enters an unhealthy relationship with patterns like these, they might romanticize it, believing that the push and pull of an unhealthy relationship is part of “passionate love”.

Traveling is one of the most enriching experiences that a person can have. It allows us to explore new cultures, try new foods, and see breathtaking sights. According to the World Tourism Organization, international tourist arrivals reached 1.4 billion in 2018, with a growth rate of 6%. This shows that more and more people are recognizing the value of travel in their lives.
One of the most popular reasons people travel is to relax and unwind. In a survey conducted by Expedia, 81% of respondents said they take vacations to relieve stress. Traveling to a new destination can help people disconnect from their daily routine and recharge their batteries. This is especially important considering that chronic stress can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease and depression. Another reason people travel is to learn about different cultures. In a study by Booking.com, 68% of respondents said they travel to experience new cultures. Traveling allows people to immerse themselves in different ways of life, try new foods, and learn about history and traditions. This can lead to greater understanding and empathy for people from different backgrounds.
Travel can also have a positive impact on the economy. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, the travel and tourism industry accounts for 10.4% of global GDP and 319 million jobs worldwide. This shows that travel not only benefits the individual traveler, but also has a ripple effect on the communities they visit.
However, it is important to consider the negative impact of travel as well. Mass tourism can lead to overcrowding, environmental damage, and cultural commodification. It is important for travelers to be mindful of their impact and make sustainable choices when possible.

Over the past century, the role of women in society has evolved tremendously. As societies worldwide progress and adapt, the contributions of women have shifted from predominantly domestic spheres to encompass significant positions in business, politics, science, and various other fields. This transformation has not only redefined traditional roles but has also impacted the very fabric of society, challenging preconceived gender norms and stereotypes.
In the early 20th century, women’s rights movements gained momentum, leading to important achievements like the right to vote and the right to work in several countries. These movements sparked an ongoing wave of social change that has continued into modern times. Education became more accessible to women, allowing them to pursue careers that had once been reserved for men. In some countries, women now make up a larger portion of university students than men, illustrating the rapid shift in educational priorities and access.
However, despite these advancements, challenges remain. Many women still face obstacles in the workplace, such as wage disparities, gender bias, and limited opportunities for advancement. Additionally, in some parts of the world, cultural norms continue to restrict women’s rights and opportunities, limiting their freedom to choose careers, education, or even personal relationships. These challenges underscore the need for ongoing efforts to achieve true gender equality.
The benefits of promoting gender equality are significant. Societies that support equal opportunities for women tend to experience better economic growth, improved health outcomes, and stronger social cohesion. Numerous studies show that when women participate equally in the workforce, it leads to greater innovation and productivity. Furthermore, countries that encourage gender equality often have higher rates of child survival, better educational outcomes, and enhanced social stability.
In summary, the role of women in modern society is continually evolving. Although there are still areas where improvement is needed, the progress achieved thus far demonstrates the potential of societies that embrace gender equality. The contributions of women across all sectors are invaluable, paving the way for a more inclusive and dynamic future.
