Parents rummaging through their teens’ social media accounts may do more harm than good as it shows no trust. There are better ways to for parents to stay connected and help keep their kids safe. In the article “Should parents snoop on their kids online?” written by Eliene Augenbraun, she quoted Caroline Knorr, a parenting editor at Common Sense Media, who said “Kids know technology better than their parents do. If you rely on technology to monitor your kids or prevent them from engaging in online risks you are getting a false sense of security.” And this is very true. If a parent instead of looking at their child’s phone just talked to them to see
However, in my own opinion, I believe that conformities exist amongst sex and password sharing but I cannot accredit them as good comparisons. Although, I agree that password sharing is not an acceptable action to be condoned, I find the illustration of sex to be on a different rank of importance. Through the use of perceptions accepted during teenage years, the author makes it apparent that in current time’s password sharing is a widely known phenomenon. Teenagers have always been exposed to peer-pressure and conformities so that they can “fit in,” but do not think in depth of the consequences that follow. Through the use of interviews with young students on the topic, Richtel verifies this occurrence to be true.
Professor Solorzano English 50 2 November 2011 Weapons of No Destruction Many people disagree whether children should play with toy weapons. Some people believe that they do more harm than good. “Why I Bought My Son a Toy Gun” by author Michael Golden is an article which is in favor of young children playing with toy weapons. “Why I Won’t Buy My Sons Toy Guns” by author Robert Shaffer is an article that is one hundred percent against young children playing with toy weapons. In opposing articles by Michael Golden and Robert Shaffer, the authors have views on toy weapons which are compatible in regards to violence, death, and television, but are contradictory in toy accessibility.
Its worth the inconvenience for all our future. Peer pressure is the greatest cause of kids trying drugs. If by testing the athletes or other school leaders, we can get them to say no to drugs , it will be easier for other kids to say no. On the other hand, Amendment 4 guarantees the right to privacy and some say that is being violated by random drug searches. Some also argue that students who aren't doing anything wrong have nothing to fear.
Bandura also argues that while children can learn this behavior in the home by watching family members who maybe aggressive or violent and then acting on what they see. Albert Bandura does not believe that individuals inherit violent tendencies, nor are they genetic factor involved. He feels they are copied from the three principles listed above. (Bandura, 1976: p.204). As for myself, I do agree that children will copy certain behaviors of adults around them as well as some of their siblings or other peers.
They have the notion that it is used for protection against unwanted pregnancy, when there are many other benefits. In the book Dr. Spock’s Baby and Child Care, Dr. Spock states, “Does sex education encourage sex? Many parents are afraid that talking about sex with their teenagers will be taken as permission for the teen to have sex. Nothing could be further from the truth. If anything, the more children learn about their sexuality from talking with their parents and teachers and reading accurate books, the less likely they feel compelled to find out for themselves” (2004).
When a teenager feels he or she is ready for sexual intercourse they may be ashamed or afraid of entering a store to purchase contraceptives or condoms and they may fair that if they confront their parent about this, their parents may become disappointed in them or may even become angry with them. So they take the chance of having unprotected sex with their partners. They may feel that because it’s the first time having sex for both partners, they are not unable to contracted any STDS or even conceive a child. Offering condoms in schools helps to educate the students on safe sex practices. It helps them to become more aware of the dangers of unsafe sex, and also help them to make the right sex choices when it comes to sex.
Some artists may use this tactic to explain that their upbringing was tough; saying to avoid the paths they took, but the listeners just here the violence. One way to solve this problem is for parents to censor the music their children listen to. Parent can easily do this with parental blocks on computers and by not buying the explicit cd’s for their children. Allowing children to choose the music they listen to isn’t bad parenting, as long as the children understand the music is abusive and not to be imitated. Having an older brother I can attest to the ease of getting my hands on explicit music at a young age.
The Effects of Divorce on Children Terry Means Palm Beach State College Author Note This paper was prepared for Human Growth and Development, DEP2004, taught by Dr. Michael Miles. The Effects of Divorce on Children Introduction Divorce relates to a life-transforming experience that affects children once it occurs. The impact is significant and psychologists advise parents considering divorce to assess and consider the impact that divorce presents to their children. It is therefore evident that any effect on the life of the parents impacts the children, either temporary or in the long-run. Some parents remain unaware of the impacts of divorce among children aged zero to three years or infants (Levin, 2013).
This basically means that humans have basic unconscious biological urges and a desire for immediate gratification and satisfaction. Freud believed that if gratification and satisfaction could not be acquired legally, people would instinctively try to do so illegally. (http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/why_do_people_commit_crime.htm) Freud also believed that we learn right from wrong when we are children and we also learn to control our desires. He believed that “people primarily get moral principles as a young child from their parents and that if these were missing it’s because of poor parenting. (http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/why_do_people_commit_crime.htm) So in essence he is saying that if our parents teach us as children to control our desires and properly teach us right from wrong, we wouldn’t have desires to acquire things illegally.
