Nowadays, schools in various parts of the world report that students tend to have behavioural problems. Unfortunately, this will make it harder for schools to educate students as problematic behaviours are likely to interfere with the education process.
There are some reasons as to why students behave inappropriately. Firstly, the way society works these days affect students’ behavioural patterns. For instance, parents might spend more time at work than at home and as a result, children lack parental guidance, not knowing how they are supposed to behave. This, in turn, is likely to cause them to have behavioural problems. Secondly, such behaviours might be caused by external influences, such as internet and television. Students, for example, might watch TV shows that use a lot of violence. Therefore, they are likely to imitate in real life by being more aggressive and using more violence. After all, students, especially teenagers, are easily affected by external parties.
In order to counter such problem, teachers should be friendly while still maintaining their professionalism. By being friendly, teachers might be able to understand students’ point of views and thus devise the right strategies to connect with them. This is because students are more likely to listen to teachers if they feel they can relate to the teachers and that the teachers understand them. Furthermore, it is also important to handle students patiently. This is really crucial since rough treatments might worsen their behaviours or encourage them to play truant. It is, therefore, wiser to be patient and guide students gradually to be well-behaved rather than using force to do so.
In conclusion, behavioural problems result from the way society works these days (e.g. lack of parental guidance) and external parties, such as bad influences from TV shows. Nevertheless, by understanding students’ views and guiding them patiently, students can gradually change and behave in a more appropriate manner.

The diagram outlines the various steps involved in the process of publishing a book. Overall, a manuscript goes through nine stages before it is released to the public. First, after the manuscript is written, it is sent to the publishing house for thorough analysis and review. Once approved, a contract is negotiated and signed between the author and the publisher. The next stage involves designing the book's layout using specialized software, followed by obtaining final approval. Once the layout is approved, the manuscript is printed, transforming the digital content into a physical book. This is followed by bookbinding, where the editor selects the appropriate format for the book. Finally, the finished volume is distributed to various bookstores for sale. The entire process typically takes 18 to 24 months. In conclusion, publishing a book in physical form, regardless of its literary genre, requires numerous steps—nine in total—and demands close collaboration between the author and the publisher.
