Because of the evidence-based connection between parental involvement and student achievement, many schools have put into place formal methods … the most reliable means of increasing actual parental involvement, which in turn raises student outcome levels (Ule, Zivoder & DuBois-Reymond, 2015). Because of differences in parental attitudes towards involvement, towards educational institutions, and towards the value placed on educational attainment, it may be difficult to ascertain what … more about the types of parental involvement, given that what works well for one family may not work as well for another. Individual differences in parenting style and cultural differences will impact communication style and type of involvement, and yet educators should never assume that cultural background is a positive and immutable determinant……

If 20 million people were infected by a virus that caused anxiety, impulsivity, aggression, sleep problems, depression, respiratory and heart problems, vulnerability to substance abuse, antisocial and criminal behavior, . . . and school failure, we would consider it an urgent public health crisis. Yet, in the United States alone, there are more than 20 million abused, neglected and traumatized children vulnerable to these problems. Our society has yet to recognize this epidemic, let alone develop an immunization strategy.

In 1981, the U.S. Congress declared October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, marking a celebratory hallmark for advocates and survivors nationwide (National Resource Center on Domestic Violence, 2012). Since this time, similar social and legislative initiatives have increased overall awareness of gender inequality, thus influencing a decline in women\\\\\\'s risk for intimate partner violence (IPV; Powers & Kaukinen, 2012). Recent initiatives, such as a national briefing focused on brain injury and domestic violence hosted by the Congressional Brain Injury Task Force, continue to call increased attention to the various intersections and implications of this national public health epidemic (Brain Injury Association of America, 2017). Unfortunately, despite various social advocacy movements, IPV remains an underrepresented problem in the United States (Chapman & Monk, 2015). As a result, IPV and related mental and physical health consequences continue to exist at alarmingly high rates (Chapman & Monk, 2015).

...Cultural differences Music Therapy and Aging
Summary
Grief, pain, and distress can become unbearable for the bereaved although death is an experience that every individual goes through. Many therapeutic interventions have been developed to help the bereaved cope with death including music therapy interventions. These interventions have shown positive impacts on the cognitive and emotional well-being of the bereaved and older adults with terminal conditions or under hospice care. However, the impact of these interventions on the aging process remains unknown and understudied. The proposed study will look at the effect of music therapy interventions on aging, especially on the frailties brought by old age. The scope of the proposed research is to look at the link between music therapy interventions and the quality of life of elderly people without any chronic or terminal conditions.
This study is expected to provide insights on how to cope or deal with frailties of old……

Your focus on generation differences is interesting and I feel that I share some of them, but I also wonder like you how much of it is cultural and not necessarily generational, as Quehl (n.d.) points out. I think that cultural values have changed and they continue to change and we are people who are no longer in step with the popular cultural values of self-assertion and of young people being taught that their will is valid even if an older person is trying to correct … self-esteem and just want to know if they have the skills to do a job or not.
