The paper seeks to determine the reasons behind “sudden infant death syndrome,” the possible scientific and legal foundations, and when can these be separated from ...

On the contrary, all races should be treated equally with such doctrines as the equal employment opportunity being the guiding principles. The origins of this person’s logic could be the basic reasoning of a person in a society with class conflict, with ...

The availability of a parent in spending time with and positively influencing the child is not always guaranteed. In the case of unmarried parenthood the parent is even more likely to be unavailable for their child. Tough (41) states ...

It is worth noting that, old, problematic and insufficiently designed environments tend to drain the energy that could have been used on productivity, growth and development.
