These three essays deal with vastly different topics. The first essay, entitled “Back to Square One” is less of an essay, and more of a creative writing piece; it follows the life of a family living in Tijuana, Mexico. The family is well-to-do, and lives in a nice, secluded house on a hillside outside of the city. The husband of the family is a policeman, in charge of the anti-corruption and anti-drug unit of the local police, and the mother is a stay-at-home housewife responsible for the care of their young daughter. Both the mother and the father are living in fear over potential ...

Children are new beings in this world and do not know anything about it. This leaves them with no option other than relying on the society in order to learn about the world. They look at what parents do and hence they start behaving like them. The learning process of a child is a psychological process that takes place in stages. The history of childhood explains that children come into this world as models that are ready to be shaped into anything. The process of being a leader begins from childhood, the role models and the social set up facilitates these characteristics ( ...

Infant Behavior and Development

INFANT BEHAVIOR AND DEVELOPMENT
Infants have a tendency to prefer one care provider to another under distress. For instance, if the mother is the primary caregiver, the infant feels more attached to her than it feels to its father. The primary caregiver refers to the parent with whom the child spends most of its time with.
When a child is in pursuit of closeness or physical contact for that matter, they prefer the individual who is more likely to be responsible for them when they are sick or when hurt. When separated from their caretakers babies appear to be ...

Every child goes through developmental stages. According to Kyla Boyse, RN (2013) in her article “Developmental Milestones, University of Michigan Health Systems, “Child development refers to how a child becomes able to do more complex things as they get older.” This process of development involves cognitive development, social and emotional development, speech and language development and learning and mastering fine motor skills. Between the ages of 6 to 12 a child is expected to have developed strong physical, emotional and mental abilities. Although all children are expected to go through the same developmental stages not all of them develop the same way ...

1. Author Frank F. Furstenberg believes that although America is a society that eschews a separation between classes, there are clear opportunity differences based upon the socioeconomic bracket that a person was born into. Furstenberg feels that this is contrary to the American ideology. But these ideologies do not match the actual reality of the United States. The author writes that “the United States, long regarded as the land of opportunity, has never entirely lived up to its billing” (Furstenberg, 2006).
The differences in classism have been for all of its history a social construction based not always on the reality. The ...

Ethical Issues in “Written Parental Consent and the Use of Incentives in a Youth Smoking Prevention Trial: A Case Study From Project SPLASH”

Although the potential ethical issues associated with this specific research seem minor, “worst-case scenario” risks to participants could include invasion of privacy, psychological trauma or emotional upset, embarrassment, stigma, peer pressure relating to the survey and discussion of confidential survey content and time costs.
The research also raised questions about the potential for coerciveness of students. A very large percentage of students whose parents completed the consent form by assenting that their child could participate in ...

Gun Prohibition

Joe Nocera argues in his New York Times op-ed column “Guns and Mental Illness” that it should be more difficult for people, rather than the mentally-ill, to attain a firearm due to a recent mass shooting in California. Last month, 22 year old Elliot Rodger went on a shooting spree in Isla Vista, California after emailing a 140-page manifesto to his parents. Nocera recapitulates the terrifying tale of two parents racing to California only to have their worst fears confirmed: Elliot had killed six people before committing suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Elliot had a long history with depression and had never been ...

This article addresses the need for childbirth educators, as the first line of information for parents, to understand procedures related to umbilical cord blood banking and potential uses of umbilical cord blood and cells to answer questions or discuss the topic with expectant parents. The article points out the need for more awareness in childbirth educators of the topic of umbilical cord blood since most expectant parents are unaware of the topic unless they know someone who has been involved in a stem cell procedure.
The majority of expectant parents are largely unaware of the benefits that umbilical cord ...

Communication Journal – 6600

The last class was very interesting because it allowed me to learn new communication skills that helped improve my confidence level. In fact, I was an angry person, who did not know how to control my temper, approach, or tone when disagreeing with others on specific topics.
Yesterday I discovered different skills and effective approaches on how to control myself. For example, I should take a deep breath before speaking to address a disagreement with someone. Also before I start talking, I should slowly count from one to seven. This allows me to slow down mentally so that I can ...

The article discusses whether it's both professional and ethical for genomics and genetics to release the DNA and fine chromosomal test results to their patients in full without considering the consequences. DNA results can truly change its life; it could mean breaking of a marriage, realization that death is killing slowly from within, acquiring funding to fight the illness, higher funding into research for a disease cure.
Some patient's results withheld while others are given in part to protect the patient interests. The practice has proven to be a dilemma for the society because both ways there are harder consequences. For ...

Introduction

There have recently been increased incidences of mothers harming their newborn babies intentionally. This might appear to be very bizarre given that a mother is naturally expected to show extreme care and sensitivity to her newborn baby. The article “Good mothers, bad thoughts: New mother’s thoughts of intentionally harming their newborns” by Louise Murray and Mark Finn explores this issue from a psychological perspective.

Facebook has become a popular networking tool over the years. Initially, it was widely used by teenagers and young people but even older people have joined its use because of the numerous advantages associated with Facebook. Facebook has become a powerful tool for strengthening relationships amongst families, as opposed to the belief that it causes family dysfunctions. For instance, Ms. Van der Spank was able to hold healthy conversations with her children after she joined Facebook and became friends with her children. She was able to understand what was happening in her children’s lives as opposed to the initial response ...

Thesis: Furthermore, because procreation by bondwomen can be regarded as both a means of perpetuating slavery and an act of love and self-sacrifice, the sexuality of enslaved women and their relationship to their offspring must be understood as a complex negotiation involving individual agency, resistance, and power (Li 14).
- This episode introduces what Jacobs continually describes as the fundamental evil of familial bonds; its flagrant destruction of familial bonds (Li 15).
- Slavery disrupts the relationship between parent and child not only by allowing each to be sold to different masters, but by positing a figure of authority and ...

The story ‘agreeable’ by Jonathan Frazen is a good example of how literature has used modern day life to communicate. The story uses modern day setting to communicate to the people. The story takes a modern approach including in characterization, themes, and even the setting. The story ‘A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings’ was written in ancient times in 1955. The story uses different methods of characterization, themes, and setting. Unlike ‘Agreeable’, which was written in America, this story was written in Mexico in Spanish and later translated into English. These two short stories differ in terms of style characterization ...

Emergency nursing deals with a wide range of responsibilities due to the diverse number of patients with unique illness. This profession tends to be dynamic because one is required to make every patient comfortable and well taken care of. One of the key responsibilities to many nurses is having a sense of humor, which helps in lightening the tension between the nurse and the patient. Thus, this paper will examine and analyze three articles that discuss the importance of nurses visiting new born babies, the relevance of elders seeking more health care than other ages, and the significance of burses having a ...

Patrick tells a story of high academic performance being passed down generationally in a family. He seems to believe that since one is from a family where most members have succeeded academically they must also perform outstandingly. This is a distorted view as there are so many other factors that determine ones academic abilities rather than family or background as people are born different, go into different schools and also undergo various difficulties at personal level.
Amy Chua makes a vague generalization by saying that Chinese mothers can get away with things that the western mothers cant. This is overrating the Chinese mothers ...

Every race, culture, country or religion is subject to stereotypes. In the field of parenting, some children are too attached to their cultures while others are not. In some cultures, children are treated with coercion while others are spoiling them. Every child differs from each other as well as parents. Regardless of race, culture or religion, every parent should teach their children love and respect for their cultural heritage as well as awareness on others.
I always have the notion that strict parents raise successful children. This perception is attributed to the many successful people who admitted that ...

The only frequently reported disadvantage of breastfeeding is nursing in public ...

The article “Birth Plans: Are They Really Necessary?” discusses the practice of using birth plans in regulating relationships between womenand labor and delivery facilities. The two experts in this area, Polly Perez, a Perinatal Nurse Consultant, and Stacy Lepsch, a Clinical Nurse Level II, express opposing opinions on this issue. Lepsch believes that birth plans have little value in the modern obstetric care as they only constraint delivery nurses and often represent unrealistic expectations of the future parents. Moreover, empirical evidence suggests that birth plans do not improve the overall birth experience and may even hamper it. According to Lepsch, a close ...

The article by Maria and Daniel evaluates the informal support of children by parents after separation. According to the authors, researchers have focused more on the formal support where people have fixed amount of income and hence men are required to send a given amount of money to the children. In the case of low income earners and those who have incomes that vary from one time to another, the case is different and researchers have not looked at the effects of this on the fairness issue. Researchers have also ignored the informal support of children when mothers are remarried ...

The excerpt was basically about monsters, but not the literal thing. Monsters, based on how the mother tried to explain it, were problems in life. Her child was getting worried of the lurking monster beneath the bed, even though the mother knows that there is not really any monster. She had this dilemma whether she would tell her son that there is not really any monster beneath the bed or she would just let him discover it all by himself, much like how a child would discover that Santa Claus is not anywhere close to real when he grows up. ...

Parents are usually the most influential people in a child’s life. The involvement of a parent affects a child’s social and emotional development. Parents control the appropriate and inappropriate social behaviors that their children learn, such as self-control, empathy, cooperation, and respect for others. These being the case, a missing parent can negatively affects a child’s emotional and social development since there is only one parent doing the work of what many other children have two people engaging in completing. A disproportionate number of ethnic minority children of low socio-economic status live in single-parent households in the United States. According to ...

Children’s health and social theory of risks: Insights from the British Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) controversy

In “A Rainbow of Differences”, Erica Goode illustrated how homosexuality affects children. For decades, the subject was politely (Goode 2000, p.2), if not politically, noted as nonexistent. That, indeed, “no important distinction could be found” between a child of gay parents and the child of an archetypal home (Goode p.1). The definite opinion is that there is a difference. Homosexual parents have children who face questions in themselves, threats from peers, and discomfort toward the irregularities of judgment. What arises are a particular generation of children who gain confidence and freedom in identifying their own roles, attitudes and opinions, toward a community who ...

The basic responsibility of a teacher is to understand, recognize and appreciate the nature and behavior of a child. Every child is unique and does possess special characters. No other person knows a child better than its parents, and it is critical for a teacher to partner and get involved in the discussions with the parents to know more about the child. A caring and an indulging teacher can always instigate a confidence in the parents and create a belief that they can take care of the children with special needs in the absence of parents. The need of a parent is to hand over their ...

The article entitled “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” written by Amy Chua and published online in The Wall Street Journal proffered pertinent issues relative to the alleged superiority of Chinese mothers in raising their children. Chua contended that Chinese parents apply a significantly anti-thetical parenting style, as compared to Western parents, that focuses on three perspectives: (1) not being overly anxious on the children’s self-esteem; (2) believing that children owe parents everything; and (3) parents know what is best for their children and therefore decide for them, especially to the extent that children’s preferences and desires are overridden. ...

ABSTRACT.

Teaching involves leadership in guiding students and taking actions that create a motivating environment. Amongst the challenges faced by teachers are facing unmotivated students and developing positive attitude towards their stay in school and success, in learning. Sometimes it becomes hard for these teachers to identify the unmotivated learners and the reasons behind their lack of motivation. Assisting an unmotivated student may not perfect the student to A+ grades but may improve on their efforts towards learning and develop positivity in attitude. As much as it is the teacher’s responsibility to motivate learners, parents and principals play a critical part ...

The changes in playground equipment over the past four decades have been fascinating. If you went to a playground in 1972, you would have found a wooden or metal teeter-totter or two, a tall swing set with rubber seats and metal chains, a jungle gym that looks like the Northern Hemisphere, and a metal merry-go-round. The surface of the playground would have been the same grass as the rest of the field that made up the park. There might have even been a metal corkscrew slide; there certainly would have been a long metal slide. Nowadays, of course, the surfaces of playgrounds are soft and rubber, ...

The article Identity Ambiguity and Change in the Wake of a Corporate Spin-Off by Kevin G. Corley and Dennis A. Gioia is dedicated to the case study of organizational identity change.

Frustration can cause aggression in athletes when they are unable to make a goal, are fouled by an opponent, or other situations that interrupt the game.
