Because of the impact of the society and parents plus the evolution of new technologies, young people are less and less able to communicate face to face. Young people are losing the ability to socialize face to face because of parents and society. A few decades ago, parents and the society used to be more flexible about freedom. Nowadays, a lot of parents choose to “shortened the leash on their kids” by limiting their independence because they feel that it is the best way to protect their children from what is happening in the outside world such as child-abduction for example. Not only are parents stricter, but the actual society as well.
If they can’t complain about problems, since their troubles aren’t nearly as bad as the boy’s they can not be sad or down. In Omelas, the positive and negative aspects balance each other out. Everyone in the town knows that the boy is locked up there, and they all know that their constant “happiness... [and] the health of their children... depend on this child’s misery." The price they pay for their perfect lives is that this one child has to be locked up forever, it is a pretty small price to pay for eternal joy. No matter how many bad things happen to the boy, they will be balanced out by the incredibly good things that happen to the citizens of Omelas.
Thrust into the real world with our confidence almost permanently shattered, we are expected to be successful and important when prior to that we were always told the opposite. Bullying harms us not only in our youth, but for the rest of our lives. In the poem “To This Day” by Shane Koyczan, we hear the story of children who have faced the effects of being bullied. A little girl for something as foolish as a birthmark on her face and a boy for thinking pork chops and karate chops were the same. Age did not change the words that cut through that poor little girl.
The poem is about a parent realising that life will present children with hurtful situations, ones which cannot be avoided or prevented. Martial imagery can at first seem out of place - after all, the events of the poem are very insignificant compared to the realities of war. However, the imagery and language is chosen to communicate the idea that such incidents are significant and important in the eyes of a parent. References to war might also suggest that the battle is futile. Whatever the father does the nettles will grow back and his son will probably be hurt again, just as wars will continue to occur, however violent the attempts to end them.
Fairly quickly the idea of playing outside went from “boisterous games” to being “too poor to sit in the house.” With this sentence the manipulation of Hurston’s point of view begins. Through the eyes of a child playing outside is a wonderful privilege. Through the eyes of Hurston’s mother, it was the only way to experience “any pleasure.” To Hurston’s parents, life was a test and they were trying to get themselves, and Hurston, through it. Hurston’s father had a negative point of view on life and always seemed to be putting Hurston down (for her own good perhaps?) he often threatened to break her spirit or “kill [her] in the attempt.” In a perhaps less blunt way, Hurston’s mother showed that she too, had a fearful and negative outlook on the world.

During the coarse of the novel, there are subtle changes that take place in the behavior of the boys’.
Innocence in the life of a child is as important to them as the very air that they breathe. When they are young, they only believe in the naïve views that they have on the world, and will always follow the ideals that they were born with. The same ideas that give them a beautiful, pure, and peaceful mind set, that has not yet been tainted by the atrocities of mankind. We must do all we can in order to protect the loved ones and the children of our society so that they do not grow up repeating our own terrible mistakes. “I kept thinking about Jane, and about Stradlater having a date with her and all.
An innocent child living a difficult and unbearable life in which isolating himself and imagining a world of joy and perfection are his only moments of true happiness. Many believe shadowing one's reality with the opportunity of imagination is a suitable choice to cope with sadness. However, Alden Nowlan’s The Fall of the City proves otherwise as the main character, Teddy practices the aforementioned technique to deal with the sadness he encounters everyday as a result of his troubled relationships with his uncle and aunt. Teddy isolates himself from the real world by spending time in an imaginary kingdom he calls Upalia, where King Theodore defeats evil continuously, and restores harmony amongst his kingdom time after time. Sadly, evil prevails in the end as Teddy’s uncle brainwashes him, causing him to experience destruction by ripping his paper cut dolls and shaped boxes into shreds,
Of course not, all people know that fighting can’t solve anything, and sometimes it would make the problem worse. Spanking the children is not okay because it would make the child has bad memories and spanking can’t solve problems. Spanking will make the children have bad memories. Even they grow up and become the one who doesn’t needs their parent spanking anymore, a good kids, he still remember how their parents hit them, and how it hurt.
Freedom of fear, right to capitalism, and stability for future generations brings us our most important ideal from out beloved Preamble, "providing for the common defense". Freedom of fear has given people the comfort to live their lives as safely as they choose. Capitalism holds the basis for society, and protecting that is detrimental to our way of life. If nothing else, you will see the need for protection in your children, and understand why the military is so necessary. Sure, the petty things will always happen, but remember why you can base your life around such minuscule things: your government has guaranteed your right of life by providing for the common defense. Appreciate
