How do we take responsibility for ourselves or others? In the short story, “The Veldt”, the house takes responsibility for the family and not the parents. Since they let this happen, the children ended up disobeying them and the parents need to learn from that in order to keep control and restore balance into their life. In the end, it is the parent’s faults that they let their control slowly slip away and let the children have freedom in the nursery. Since they let their responsibility go, the house replaced the parents which made the children feel that the house is their parents.
Functionalist Murdock suggested as children we are socialised into societies shared norms and values and he believed that males provide the economic roles and females provided the expressive role. Therefore it is natural for women to play the expressive role in the household looking after the family’s emotional needs. However, radical feminist Ann Oakley argues that the role of the housewife is a social construction and isn’t linked to the female role. The housewife role makes sure that women stay inferior to men making it difficult for them have careers. Women carry out the triple burden in the household; the domestic labour, emotional labour, and paid labour.
This should be changed like other countries have done. When a parent has commit a crime and are facing potential deportation, some people will argue that the children should be able to stay in the country and be citizens because they haven’t done anything wrong, they were merely born and didn’t commit the crime the parents did, they shouldn’t have to pay. That’s how people win court cases to stay in the country, showing the meaning of “anchor babies.” They may have a point, that the children did not do anything and don’t deserve to lose their parents but the children don’t realize that their main reason of being born was so that when that situation would come up, they were the only thing keeping the parents in the country. These children are being used for the “right” to stay in a country they aren’t even citizens in. If you aren’t willing to become a citizen in a country, don’t live in it.
Having to travel further to take a child to a specialist school, various appointments; • If there are other siblings they can often feel left out as all attention is given to child with learning disability; • One or both parents have to give up work to care for the child which can cause financial and emotional difficulties. 4.1 What is meant by the term social inclusion?

These two articles work together to show how balancing family, marriage, and work is very difficult whether it be unrealistic expectations of co-parenting or mismanaging anger. In Hope Edelman’s “The Myth of Co-Parenting: How It Was Supposed to Be. How it Was” she expresses vividly how she feels about her misinterpretation of married life. Before she was married to John, she had a “vague assumption” (Edelman 284) that co-parenting was an attainable goal. Her idea of co-parenting was “If I’m going to contribute half of the income, then he’ll contribute half of the housework and child care” (Edelman 284).
3.1 Explain why it is important to ensure children and young people are protected from harm within the work setting. According to Tassoni (2010) parents leave children in your care with an expectation that they can trust you and your colleagues to keep their children from harm. It is difficult for many parents to leave their children in an education or care setting and go to work; they need to be fully confident that their children are in safe; supportive hands with people who will help their development. Failing to meet this is a gross breach of your professional values. As children grow and extend their horizons beyond their homes, organisations such as schools and youth groups have a particular role in safeguarding children and preventing harm occurring.
Theresa - WST 101 SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION Social construction is the morals and values, beliefs and norms that are made based on the society one lives in. Morals, beliefs and norms shape the way we are such as personality, identity and gender roles. As soon as birth parents try to construct their child into what society finds acceptable, from the way we act, dress and even think. Gender roles are the result of socialization. Society molds us into our specific gender role and everyone tends to not break this.
Everyday in this “perfect” society children are being born and placed into foster families, group homes, or other facilities that children are placed into when their biological parents do not believe they can take care of them. This concept is just like the arranged marriages that take place everyday in Yemen. Efforts by loving parents to find a better life for their children. In both circumstances, the children have no say in what is going on and both cases can lead to a worse life for the daughter or son. So we, as Americans or any other culture, have no right to judge the lives of other cultures when we do the exact same thing.
(Sernau 2005). In the origin of the caste system, the upper classes were descended from the conquerors while the lower classes were mostly descended from the conquered (Sernau 2005). Plato had a simple but compelling theory of social inequality, that all parents tend to be partial to their own children and to given them special advantages which allows them to prosper and in turn pass that inheritance on to their children (Sernau,2005). Many individuals inherit businesses, homes, cars, land, equipment, and money from their parents who have ensured their business is in order and have trained their children to take on the family business as well as provided them with a good education so that they will have the knowledge and skills to manage the business. For example, Sam Walton, who died and left his children with the Wal-Mart businesses.
Not only are they expected to bring in an income along with their husband, they have to assume all housework without the help of their husband. So because their caste system women are encouraged to follow their gender roles. Those in high caste are encouraged to stay stay dependent on their husbands and not seek work outside of the house while those in low and lowest caste double up on responsibilities of home responsibilities as well as contributing to their income through work outside of the home. India’s dowry system keep women constricted to these roles and reiterate the importance of males in their
