pull-out

Examples of pull-out in the following topics:

• The Gifted

  • Gifted education programs take many forms, including a combination of acceleration, pull-out or cluster grouping, and enrichment activities .
  • An alternative to acceleration is pull-out or cluster grouping, in which gifted students are removed from regular classrooms.
  • In pull-out programs, gifted students spend most of the school day with a regular classroom of mixed abilities, but may be pulled out for an hour or part of a day to practice critical thinking drills, creative exercises, or subjects not introduced in standard curriculums.
  • Pull-out programs are generally ineffective at promoting academic achievement since they do not align with the regular curriculum.

• Suburbanization

  • The traditional suburban cul-de-sac residential design is one pull towards suburban living for many families.
  • Suburbanization is caused by many factors that are typically classified into push and pull factors.
  • Push factors are those that push people out of their original homes in urban areas into suburban areas.
  • Pull factors are those that attract people to suburbs in particular.
  • As a result of the mass residential migration out of urban centers, many industries have followed suit.

• Urbanization

  • People move into cities to seek economic opportunities.A major contributing factor is known as "rural flight".In rural areas, often on small family farms, it is difficult to improve one's standard of living beyond basic sustenance.Farm living is dependent on unpredictable environmental conditions, and in times of drought, flood or pestilence, survival becomes extremely problematic.In modern times, industrialization of agriculture has negatively affected the economy of small and middle-sized farms and strongly reduced the size of the rural labour market.Cities, in contrast, are known to be places where money, services and wealth are centralized.Cities are where fortunes are made and where social mobility is possible.Businesses, which generate jobs and capital, are usually located in urban areas.Whether the source is trade or tourism, it is also through the cities that foreign money flows into a country.Thus, as with immigration generally, there are factors that push people out of rural areas and pull them into urban areas.
  • As cities develop, effects can include a dramatic increase in costs, often pricing the local working class out of the real estate market.For example, Eric Hobsbawm's book The age of the revolution: 1789–1848 (published 1962 and 2005) chapter 11, stated "Urban development in our period [1789–1848] was a gigantic process of class segregation, which pushed the new labouring poor into great morasses of misery outside the centres of government and business and the newly specialised residential areas of the bourgeoisie.The almost universal European division into a 'good' west end and a 'poor' east end of large cities developed in this period. " This is likely due the prevailing south-west wind which carries coal smoke and other airborne pollutants downwind, making the western edges of towns preferable to the eastern ones.Similar problems now affect the developing world; rising inequality results from rapid urbanization.The drive for growth and efficiency can lead to less equitable urban development.

• Family and Gender Issues

  • Further, women are accused of intentionally seeking out jobs with fewer hours and lower pay in order to be more flexible for their children.
  • Family obligations tend to pull down on women's earnings as they proceed through the life course and have more children.

• Migration

  • Lee's laws divide factors causing migrations into two groups of factors: push and pull factors.
  • Push factors are things that are unfavorable about the area that an immigrant is coming from; pull factors are things that attract the immigrant to the new location.Historically, migration has been nomadic, meaning people sustained movement from place to place over their lifetimes.
  • Seasonal tourists seek out certain natural amenities, like snow-capped mountains for skiing and winter sports or desert sunshine for a break from oppressive winters.
  • In many developed countries, urbanization has slowed and the population has begun to move out of cities — in some cases back to rural areas, but most frequently, to newly-built suburbs.

• Aging and Wealth

  • Right now, more money is being garnished through taxing the current workforce than is being paid out to retirees.
  • If the laws governing Social Security are not changed by 2017, the program will begin paying out more funds than it receives.
  • The baby boomer generation, those born in the 20 years following World War II, is starting to reach senior citizenship and pull from these public funds.

• Role Conflict

  • We experience role conflict when we find ourselves pulled in various directions as we try to respond to the many statuses we hold.
  • The most obvious example of role conflict is work/family conflict, or the conflict one feels when pulled between familial and professional obligations.

• Introduction

  • Because you have been socialized into society, you know that the red lights mean you should pull over, so you do.
  • In all likelihood, you do not have to question this individual as to why they are driving a special car with lights on it, why they are wearing a uniform, why they are carrying a gun, or why they pulled you over (you may ask why they pulled you over, but doing so often increases the likelihood they'll give you a ticket).

• Infectious Diseases Today and in the Developing World

  • The blood pulled from the bite of an Anopheles mosquito carries this disease, which infects the human or animal host and resides in red blood cells in order to reproduce.

• In-Groups and Out-Groups

  • The way the aggression is justified is through dehumanizing the out-group, because the more the out-group is dehumanized the "less they deserve the humane treatment enjoined by universal norms. "
  • The out-group homogeneity effect is one's perception of out-group members as more similar to one another than are in-group members, e.g.
  • Thus, out-group stereotypicality judgments are overestimated, supporting the view that out-group stereotypes are over-generalizations In an experiment testing out-group homogeneity, researchers revealed that people of other races are perceived to look more alike than members of one's own race.
  • The in-group and out-group concepts originate from social identity theory, which grew out of the work of social psychologists Henri Tajfel and John Turner.
  • Recall two of the key features of in-group biases toward out-groups
