This article analyzes poverty and its impact on the academic performance of students in Nigeria’s senior secondary school. The writers focus on the Rivers State in the country. There are high poverty levels in this state given the people’s dependence on fishing and small-scale farming (Onyije & Olawolu, p. 101). The authors note that poverty has greatly influenced education in the region. For example, students lack foods that are essential for their brain functions, making it difficult for them to perform well in school. The writers also associate poverty with psychological issues such as low self-esteem, a contributing factor to the poor performance. However, according to the article, there is minimal effect on the academic performance when the children experience poverty over a short period. The writers also indicate that lack causes economic stress and demotivates students from learning, reducing their readiness to study. According to them, memory is closely related to people’s emotional state which, is largely affected by lack and destitution.
Additionally, poor children miss out on the essential development skills due to the inability to freely access things such as reading materials, and modern technologies. Besides, poor environments do not accord children the opportunity to interact with intellectuals that would motivate them to pursue their education (Onyije & Olawolu, p. 103). This article also touches on the challenges that Nigerian teachers in the Rivers State face. These challenges include dealing with the rising number of poor students in institutions, and the difficulties of motivating children. The authors however believe that these challenges can be overcome if teachers learn about the culture of poverty and begin to be sensitive to the needs

Space Activity: Freedom to broadcast radio and television
Everyone has the free right to search, receive, and convey information. However, activities in international direct television broadcasting via satellite have to be implemented in accordance with the independent right of countries, including the rule of non-intervention. These activities should be implemented in ways that are in line with the improvement of mutual understanding of states and instill friendly relations and co-operation among all countries and people in a bid to maintain international peace.
Outer space and cosmic bodies are open for exploration and use by all countries regardless of their level of economic or scientific development but in compliance with international law (Jakhu, 2010). The freedom of space activity in enjoyed disseminating information through artificial earth satellites should assist in educational, economic, and social development. It should improve the quality of life of everyone and give leisure with sufficient consideration to the political and social integrity in the countries where the television and radio programs will be aired.
Broadcasting corporations need approval from their governments to have satellites in outer space. States, which intend to authorize international direct television broadcasting, should immediately notify projected receiving states of the intention and enter into talks with the states (Jakhu, 2010). Only when the above conditions have happened, and based on agreement in accordance with appropriate International Telecommunication Union, can an international direct TV broadcasting service be established then allowing the airing of television programs.
Every country has the right to engage in space exploration activities equally with other states. However, they should ensure their activities do not hinder or interrupt the space activities of other countries. They should refrain from activities that will threaten peace or mutual understanding of the countries.

Guinea pig sperm
The article presents a discussion about fertilization process in mammals with particular focus on the molecular structure of the guinea pig’s sperm cell. At the beginning, the researcher examines the molecular structure of the sperm cell in an attempt to validatethe uniformity of the membrane structure. Throughoutthe process, the researcher dividesthe hybrid cell into subsections namely, Whole-head, Anterior-head, and Whole-tail. The remaining two sections are Posterior-head and posterior tail (Primakoff& Myles, 1983, p. 417). In the subsequent step, the researcher pairsthe antigens and the antibodies to the cell, after which,the examination ofthe effect of the chemical components on the different zones of the cells follows. Subsequently,the researcher certifies the uniformity of the surface using different membrane domains. As per the findings, antigens attach to different regions within the cell structure but the attachment does not alter the outwards membrane structure.
The author of the piece examines the relationship between the process of fertilization and the effect of the process on the development of uniform structure of mammals’ sperm cells. While using previousfindings as the basis of the evaluation, the author of the article insinuates that antibodies influence the movement of protein molecules within the body organs. He adds that the outward appearance of the sperm structure influences the movement of antigens within the body of guinea pigs.According to the researcher, the difference in the shape and the size of the sperm molecules is attributable to the dynamics in the surroundings from where an organism resides.Likewise, polypeptides among other protein components change the chemical components of the cell, but with little effects on the membrane of the sperm cell membrane.
The outward appearance of the membrane of a mammalian sperm resembles in many ways as presented in the article. According to Primakoff& Myles (1983, p. 419), one has to study monoclonal antibodies structure in order to understand the relationship between the organelles in the sperm of a guinea pig. Within the molecular structure, thedifferencesmanifest when the examination of the molecularlevels takes place in isolation. Therefore, conducting an experiment in seclusion isnecessary sincethe heterogeneity of the surface antigens is uniform throughout the sperm cell.
The article is insightful because it helps readers conceptualize the structure of a guinea pig sperm without necessarily having to view the micro-bodies using a microscope. Consequently, studying the findings analyzing the topography of the antibodies develops one’s understanding of localization, as well as the significance of the process on the fertilization. The difference in the appearance of the domain of a sperm cell determines the movement of the sperm within the body of a mammal. The same behavior is evident in the movement of a domain cell within a composition of chemical components used in the laboratory for the experiment.
The article concludes that the existence of the domain is not restricted to the head of the sperm cell but the entire structure that makes up the sperm cell. As noted by Primakoff& Myles (1983, p. 418), the presence of the domain on the anterior head obscures the visibilityof the domain on the posterior tail. Out of the 117-hybridoma antibodiesscreened, only 56 were in isolation within the localized region at the end of the experiment. The rest stuck to the cells within the localized region. Moreover, the antigens on the surface membrane of the cell suggest thatthe capacitation happens withinthe cell. Lastly, the uniformity in the outwards appearance of a sperm cell is a sign that the five surface sections of the cell influenced the process of fertilization.

Introduction
The systems theory describes change in behavior as the resultant effect of people receiving messages that motivate their actions. As per the definition, adhering to the principles of the theory can prove critical in ensuring the accomplishment of different goals in organizations. This is because the theory recognizes communication as the link between people conveying messages and the audiences of the message. In the case of small organizations such as Blind Spot, success in using the theory requires implementation of strategies that influence behavior change in individuals (Rothwell, 2013, p. 45). The theory also categorizes organization as systems that respond differently to the use of different models in communication. As discussed in the book in mixed company, the theory befits an interdisciplinary model to solving problem hence the paper supports the use of the theory by Blind Spot. Elizabeth, Miranda, Mangal, Kalkhorani, Rosa, and Karim are the members of the organization supposed to steer the project of ensuring safety of the masses using roads. As part of the team, I liaised with other members of Blind Spot in ensuring the accomplishment of the agenda of eradicating vices such as drunk driving. The motive is emanates from the need to solve a number of societal problems such reducing accidents in using systems theory.
Theory from the book
Dan Rothwell in his book states that using systems theory in understanding the motive behind individual behavior is essential because the theory insinuates that people act responsibly whenever convinced to do so. The theory also identifies delegation of duties as the guiding principles in solving misunderstanding in organizations. When using roads for example, road users ought to rely on the theory in considering themselves as the beneficiary of the resource. As the coordinator, I noticed that the use of the theory was helpful in coordinating exchange of ideas. The theory also formed the basis of my communication with nonmembers. Lastly, communication as interdisciplinary helped bolster communication as the principle strategy for ensuring efficiency in eradicating drink driving.
Group: Blind spot
An organization is a system of units directing energy towards the accomplishment of a specified goal. Prior to the formation of such entities, members agree on specified set of rules after which, all abide by rules in pursing their agenda. In the case of blind spot, a group whose aim is to dissuade individuals from risky behavior, the systems theory served as the guideline for communication in ensuring the accomplishment of the objective (Baran & Davis, 2011). Going by the events over the years, the formation of the group was necessary since deaths on roads were leading to loss of lives. Compliance to the principles of the system theory was necessary since communication creates understanding (Baran & Davis, 2011). In addition to identifying the factors contributing to road menace, the approach facilitated dissemination of information within the group thus a reduction in cases of conflict within the group.
I together with other group members who include Kalkhorani and Mangel made the decision to synergize our efforts in devising ways for curbing the menace. During the planning stage, members came up with suggestions on ways of improving communication with the knowledge that communication influences behavior of people. We devised suitable strategies for creating understanding amid members such as having interpersonal dialogue (Rothwell, 2013, p. 287). Understanding communication patterns in society proved critical in our case since dialogue facilitated the conveyance of message to the masses. In line with the systems theory, the team leaders assigned members of the group different tasks as the first step. The obligation involved both formal and informal tasks. For the formal duties, the leaders collaborated with Elizabeth in studying the problem. Both verbal and non-verbal techniques applied in the communication of the information to the group.
The informal roles assigned to the members included social and disruptive duties (Seeger, Sellnow & Ulmer, 2012, p. 231). Individuals with slow tempers took disruptive duties that requires critical analysis, whereas temperamental members undertook the remaining task. Being a person of moderate temper, Miranda who had the desire of helping her peers steer agendas that improve the wellbeing of the masses in the community served as the team leader. Unlike many of his colleagues, he was passionate about creating groups that motivate youths to take part in communal development initiatives. For the time she served as the team leader, she dealt with all manner of challenges without fear or favor. She used her oratory skills in convincing people to respect road signs.
