Unit 3 E1 and E2 Human Rights Act (2000) 'It requires courts and tribunals to make judgements using certain articles of the European Convention on Human Rights as a starting point. The Act was not designed specifically to protect children but they are accorded the same rights as adults. This means they have the right to dignity, respect and fairness in the same way they are treated. Thus a setting is not able to use corporal punishment (smacking or caning) even if a parent consents to it, because it is seen as degrading and a violation of a child's rights. The Human RIghts Act means that parents of children are also protected.'
It is becoming clear that custody evaluators tend to approach these cases with a culturally insensitive approach toward sexual orientation. This phenomenon is similar to the “color-blind” approach, which ignores differences between various racial groups, often times stripping them of their identity and unique needs. While it may seem politically correct to treat cases involving a same-sex parent as you would treat cases involving two heterosexual parents, failing to acknowledge and address critical differences in these cases violates our ethical responsibilities not only to our profession, but also ignores what is best for the children involved. The continuation of this research is vital in creating appropriate guidelines for custody evaluators and developing the proper training for psychologists to become competent to work on these specific types of cases. Moving this research forward as a dissertation project combines my passion for issues of diversity with my interest in the legal system.
This points suggests that schools aim to legitimise inequalities between students and say that meritocracy is a myth and that students are not rewarded on the basis of merit though examinations and qualifications, although many qualities of the education system suggest it does. Bowels
One should not think of being bilingual as disadvantage, but as a way to learn and educate themselves. Having bilingual education offers a completely different world for students of different ethnic background and therefore creates a comfort zone necessary for the maturation of a child to an adult. In his autobiography the Hunger of Memory Rodriguez argues that supporters of bilingualism fail to realize the power of assimilation, and how those who are bilingual and are not realizing "while one suffers a diminished sense of private individuality by becoming assimilated into public society, such assimilation
Competition is relegated to activities that are do not affect the hiring or promotion of employees. This effectively denies an employer the opportunity to examine the individual merits of an applicant, unless one presumes race and genders are “merits.” This can have drastic negative consequences on morae, as workers lose motivation to improve. As former Governor of California Pete Wilson said, “What's the purpose of preparing our children to compete and win in the marketplace if the marketplace itself is governed by laws that discriminate against the most qualified in favor of the less qualified?” (Jabbra, 2000) The mere fact that minorities are underrepresented does not mean they are being unlawfully discriminated against. If one were to look at the National Basketball Association, one could not deny the overwhelming lack of non-blacks in the league. Does the NBA seek only to hire black males by artificially creating an environment that precludes whites, Hispanics, Asians, and other non-black athletes?
Second, the State may limit the freedom of children because an assumption is made that children, unlike adults, lack the ability to make critical decisions in an informed, mature manner. Third, the Supreme Court acknowledges the importance of the parental role in child-rearing and, thus, justifies limiting the freedom of minors since "the child is not merely the creature of the state; those who nurture him and direct his destiny have the right, coupled with the high duty to recognize and prepare him for additional obligations" (Fourteenth Amendment...). A duty to prepare" is interpreted by the Supreme Court to include raising a child with "moral standards, religious belief, and elements of good citizenship" (Fourteenth Amendment...). The State gives deference to parents because
We must institute a relationship where it is the right of the children to alter or abolish the rules and regulations that we find offensive. We agree that insubstantial causes should not change the rules that we have been abiding by, but if our parents’ actions become excessively intolerable, it should be our right to remonstrate against such power and shut them down, to the benefit of the children. The history of our despotic parents calls for independence from such overpowering power. To prove our arguments, we submit facts to present our case:
The exclusion of this civic process is a threat to democracy. Remove the right to vote of a prisoner can lead to inequality and injustice that is contrary to democratic ideals. By contrast, the restitution of voting rights of prisoners may promote their rehabilitation and social reintegration, and can have a real impact on the political climate of a country. According to the article 25 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights: “Every citizen shall have the right and the opportunity, without any of the distinctions mentioned in article 2 and without unreasonable restrictions: (b) To vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors”. In addition, the article 2 states that this applies to every citizen “without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion,
Final Product #2 By banning books, it creates a negative effect on kids and adults and possibly even eliminate the teachings of life lessons for students. Going through life without the knowledge of what else is out there besides “good” in people can be harsh for some people especially for kids. Kids would not be able to handle life too well in the real world, if the whole time when they were younger they were being protected from all the "bad things" and “bad people.” Many people decide to do what they think is best for the safety of children, but in reality when kids grow up to be adults sometimes it harms them in more ways than helping them. Books shouldn't be banned from society, but some books do have suggestive content or profanity. When the so-called “negative parts” of the books remain, kids gain knowledge of what is and what is not good to do, say, or act.
I always feel that unless you are learning something from young people then you’re not really working with them. Unfortunately, so many adults do not understand that young people have their are their own culture and discriminate against them accordingly without giving them a real chance to change people’s perceptions this again is one of my aims in working with these disaffected young
