"Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful." - Margaret Mead In today’s society, there are hundreds of social issues occurring, which we must deal with as part of our daily lives. For example, issues of divorce, child abuse, alcoholism, racism, and stereotype cause problems every day, and millions of people are being negatively affected that people have depression and even anti-social disorder. However, one of the most reoccurring problems is stereotyping. Then what is a stereotype?
Child soldiers are boys and girls who fight in adult wars missing out on the safe and better childhood. They are children who perform a range of dangerous tasks such as: laying landmines and explosives and acting as decoys when spying on enemies. They are forced to work with violence, in the kitchen making food for the soldiers and some of the children are used as sex slaves. Using children as soldiers creates one of the most atrocious obstacles of the children’s rights and it is simply wrong. 250 000 children around the world are working as soldiers forced to commit violent crimes.
War is inevitable, there will always be conflicts among people, countries and leaders. War affects children in all the ways it affects adults, but also in different ways. Children are dependent on their parents for care, food, water and shelter. War adversely affects the lives of the children when they lose their parents to the war, lack of opportunity for an education and the possibility of living in a refuge. Children are exposed to situations of terror and horror during wars, such experiences that may leave traumatic impacts upon the children.
The mind frame which an adolescent is permanently damaged with is not a healthy one. The learned behavior that a male or female carry on becomes an unhealthy cycle. It is too often that adults don’t realize that the major victim to domestic violence is the innocent child who lives the domestic violence environment. For example, young preschool children witnessing domestic violence has a negative effect on the development of preschool. There is a discrepancy between exposed and non-exposed children in cognitive ability as well as externalizing and internalizing behavior problems.
In addition to learning disabilities, war also results in collective trauma at the family and community levels. According to Professor Daya Somasundaram and Dr. Ruwan M. Jayatunge, there is a breakdown of family and community processes, support structures, moral values and much more. As it can be seen, the use of child soldiers is building up a generation that may not be able to run a productive and prosperous society. So what does the future hold for child soldiers? Will there always be child soldiers?
Despite the fact that some people believe child soldiers should just leave the army if what they are doing goes against their morality, I strongly believe they are too scared that they wouldn't survive if they tried to leave. Most are forced to join against their will. Almost all are corrupted by drugs and alcohol that their leaders forced into their systems. Many are too young to comprehend the full extent of their actions and become fatally dependant on their leaders. There are over 50 conflicts going on around the globe, its estimated that there are as many as 300,000 child soldiers caught in the crossfires.
Children’s Rights Project attorney Marsha Robinson Lowry said There are a lot of injuries, a lot of abuse. The most significant thing is the psychological death of so many of these kids. Kids are being destroyed everyday, destroyed by a government- funded system set out to help them. (Thomas, 2005) The bulk of children in foster care have already suffered from an abusive past, so the goal of the system is to put them into a safer environment. Unfortunately that is usually not the case because of the multiple homes that foster children are constantly being switched to the chances of being put into an abusive surrounding is increased.
Children can also get mental problems because of spanking such as killing themselves. Children start to think about why they were born and asking themselves if they should live in a world where they just get spanked all the time. Therefore, parents who spank their children should change their minds about spanking their children. Spanking children is not a good way to discipline them because children will have bad relationships with parents and other people. For example, children who are usually spanked by their parents have problems with them because of spanking, so children will become more aggressive with other people who are around them.
Effects of Bullying on Children Joanna Solis American InterContinental University ENG106 Professor Bennett May 14, 2012 Abstract Bullying causes so many devastating effects in people’s lives, especially children because many times they do not know what exactly is happening around them, much less the consequences words or sometimes even a push or a shove can have. Bullies need to understand that there are consequences for them too, in the long run, they could be faced with the same faith as the ones they themselves bullied. Whether it’s banter or just playing around, there’s a fine line between teasing and bullying. Effects of Bullying on Children Bullying has always been a part of American culture and it is seen in almost every school across the country. There are even some people that view it as a “normal” situation in which, in their opinion, everyone has to deal with at some point in time.
