Raisa Guerra Professor Ali ENC 1101-033 March 20, 2011 The number one reason why people decide not to have children is because they are lazy! People who do not want kids are selfish and people who do have kids are not selfish. People with children think it’s a miracle to bring a person into the world. On the other hand people that do not want children think it’s a burden to bring another life into this overpopulated world. They think a child will restrict them from plans or goals they would like to reach.
The idea of taking children to day-care is unacceptable to a good number of people. They probably believe this because daycare involves putting someone else in the ‘parenting’ picture, someone to spend time with, and care for the child. However, this is not exactly negative. Day-care provides care for little children while their parents attend to other things, such as attending school or working to earn a living. It is important for those people who discourage day care to realize that not all parents can afford to stay at home with their children all day, as much as they would like to.
Boaz did whatever he could to lift Ruth up, to give her more crops, to take her in for his wife. He knew her weakness was not having a man to take care of her or a home to live in and he helped her. Friends are supposed to lift up each other and help them with their weaknesses. Some people I know would rather see you fail so they can shine even more. Which again goes back to the story, Boaz could have not given Ruth any of his crops so he could sell them and become richer.
Functionalists believe that it is functional in all families however they do not consider the darker side such as, domestic violence, neglect, which can drastically affect the educational function of the family as the child is not learning in a safe environment. Others would argue that many of the educational functions of family have been taken over by school, college and universities. This indicates that the majority of learned education does not come from the family though there are exceptions to this e.g. Home schooling. The economic functions of a family are important for society.
Before industrialisation children were seen as mini-adults they dressed like their parents and did the same sort of work in the fields and homes and like their parents had no formal education. Aries says that after industrialisation society saw children differently from adults and society was concerned about the physical and moral well being of young people. Children where now expected to undertake years of formal education and often learn things their parents do not understand. Today families are often seen as child centered because couples have a fewer children and have more money and leisure time for their children. Gittens describes children as a luxury to be encouraged by adults and like a luxury people talk about to 'afford' a child.
I do not hold sorrow for people of poverty because they have the opportunity to become successful if they decide to be motivated to work hard. I believe that not all people are as fortunate as others, such as being born into a wealthy family or affording college, however, a person does not have to be fortunate to succeed. My father did everything possible to make certain that my sister and I had dinner every night. He did not take us on vacations, take us to the movies, or have a nice car; he worked hard for us to eat. That is success.
The parenting style that I chose to write about is Permissive Parenting Style (PPS Permissive parenting is sometimes known as indulgent parenting. Parents who practice this style make relatively few demands upon their children. Because these parents have low expectations for self-control and maturity, they rarely discipline their children. Permissive parents raise children who grow into adults that have no strong inner sense of discipline, no sense of connectedness or family and will mostly likely have to re-parent themselves, which puts them at a disadvantage in all areas of life as adults. It is not unusual for adult children of permissive parents to feel resentful or angry toward their parents as they realize the many lessons they were not taught as children because their parents were so desperate to not make waves at any cost,by being the “cool mom”.
He was born in California, and moved to various places around the US before settling down in Saginaw, TX. Years go by like a subtle breeze in the fall, and before he realizes it, he was moving away for the rather prestigious Keller Central High School. But in those quick years, he fondly remembers a few memories that stand out among the rest. Other than his hilariously failed attempt in getting a girlfriend, the most notable memory that he can recall, was the introduction to the band cult. It was a bright afternoon with his father, as they were driving up to the middle school that he was going to spend the next 3 miserable, yet enjoyable years of his life.
In “Little Women: Alcott’s Civil War” (1979), Judith Fetterly argues that the four sisters of Alcott’s Little Women (1868) are denied their dreams because “Little women marry, however, not only because they lack economic options, but because they lack emotional options as well. Old maidhood obliterates little womanhood and the fear of being an old maid is a motivating force in becoming a little woman” (377). I conclude that these strong women chose their life outcomes due to their own maturation. Maturation is realizing things we wanted before aren’t always what we will want in the end, a trait Meg exhibits when she comes to realization about loving Mr. Brooke. Meg’s dream was to be rich so that she would not have to work, with “a lovely house, full of all sorts of luxurious things; nice food, pretty clothes, handsome furniture, pleasant people, and heaps on money”(140).
His other two daughters weren’t so important to him. Mary got married and became Mrs. Charles Musgrove, and Anne who was smart and nice didn’t have any influence on her father or sister Elizabeth. Anne was Lady Russell’s god-daughter. She was her favorite, and she could their mother in Anne. Anne was pretty when she was younger, but her bloom ended shortly and her
