This idea spread into the United States and gained footing during the 1950s. The focus though was less on eugenics and more on the making of a strong family unit. Eugenics is the idea of breeding out those of lesser intelligence or class. However, after World War II, people shied away from the idea of creating a “perfect race.” But there was still a concept of creating a strong, nuclear family consisting of father, mother, and children (Jurczak, 2012, p. 3). Paul Popenoe, a eugenicist, opened the first marriage-counseling center in the United States.
Summary of why evolution should be taught in public schools In her essay “Why evolution should be taught in public schools”, Laura H. Kahn argues imperative concern on why evolution should be taught in public school. She argues that our children, our future scientist and world’s leading healthcare frontiers, needs to receive a good science education to further enhance human understanding. Without scientific based education and understanding of evolution, it would be infeasible to understand and research and treat for various biological and medical diseases, antibiotic resistant bacteria, emerging viruses and deadly microbes. Kahn also explained the long history of human kind on battle of disbeliefs between evolution theory (belief of evolving biologically) and creationism (spontaneous generation from deity), which began in nineteenth century between scientists, who were known as the leading scientist at the time. Felix-Archimede Pouchet, believed in spontaneous generation and published 700 page book which claimed to prove that the life could originate from inanimate matter, thus life from deity.
The Atomic Energy Act stated how the United States government would manage nuclear technology. The Atomic Energy Act also determined that the nuclear weapon programs would be held under civilian, not military jurisdiction. Another treaty, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), was organized to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and/or the peaceable use of them. Virtually every country in the world has signed this agreement (excluding India, N. Korea, S. Sudan, Pakistan and Israel) which was opened for signatures in 1968. Preventive measures have been taken to assure the safety of the human race against nuclear technology.
This is the reason why different social groups adopt different styles of parenting that math their social beliefs, values and interests.

For example in my setting we must adhere to EYFS, children act, equality act etc United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) - this act is across every country apart from Somalia and the USA.

As we can see in item 2B a feminist sociological thinker believes that ‘social policies assume the ideal family is the patriarchal nuclear family’ and this sort of family is favoured by government policies and laws. This means to say they believe the nuclear family setup keeps the man in power of the family; a heterosexual couple with children. This is shown in social policies such as custody rights: courts automatically give women the custody of children in divorce cases as they are seen as the ‘natural’ caregiver- which presumes that a woman’s role is an ‘expressive’ one and it is her duty to stay home care for the family. Furthermore Leonard argues that where social policies appear to support women they will also continue to reinforce the parochial family and are still a form of social control over women. For example a mother will get far more maternity leave than a father will paternity leave, again presuming it is the mother’s duty to remain home and care for the children.
Although they helped to raise money for the rejection of this amendment, they were not linked to any of the churches mentioned in this article. It’s important to consider how God views abortion, even though “the Bible never specifically addresses abortion. However, there are numerous Scriptures that tell us what God’s view of abortion is. Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that God knows us before He forms us in the womb. Psalm 139:13-16 speaks of God’s active role in our creation and formation in the womb.
Functionalism vs. Marxism The Functionalist theory believes in a family that is perfect for the industrial society in which we live. The family type more often described by modern functionalists is that of a nuclear variety, idealised as white, middle class, male & female, having children and holding typical western values. Functionalists believe that the family has vital functions to carry out; one of the main functions is passing on of traditional values, another main function would be the socialisation of children and, carrying on, the stabilisation of the adult personality. The Functionalist theory relies heavily on the nuclear family, It is of common belief amongst functionalists that the nuclear family with two parents and dependent children living together in a home is a necessity for the industrial society to thrive. Murdock, a functionalist, states that the family has four functions: sexual, economic, reproductive and educational, He argued that the family needs these four factors and he argues that they are the family's purposes.
Kelsey Kim English III – Pre AP December 6, 2012 Mrs. Vaughn (Allusion) Should the production of designer babies be legal? (Ethos) James from the Bible once said, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." Since birth, we as humans are taught to love and respect ourselves and others no matter what shape or form we happen to be in. In 2005 scientists were given the "OK" to carry out experiments that would ultimately challenge this concept by revolutionizing the human creation process completely. This process is known as "preimplantation genetic diagnosis" but commonly referred to as "designer babies."
