UNSPOKEN GRIEF OF AFGHANIAN WOMEN DEPICTED BY KHALED HOSSEINI

  ABSTRACT- The persistent conditions of conflict and violence in Afghanistan, continuing for almost fifty years now, has caused huge destruction in terms of human and material losses. It has also led to a radical transformation in its socio-cultural fabric almost irreversibly.

These models were and are aimed at developing and maintaining appropriate student behavior. The authors of these models try to describe why they work.

Following are brief descriptions of some of the various behavior management models used in schools. Table 1.1 provides a sample of the most commonly used models.
