If secured the child will receive ample attention and have basic needs met. However, if unsecured may result in an impaired social and emotional development (Peterson, 2004). In attempts to distinguish between the associated attachment behaviours observed in infant-caregiver interaction, Mary Ainsworth patented the strange situation test; subsequent findings resulted in three categories of infant attachment style; A: insecure avoidant, B: secure and C: insecure resistant (Ainsworth, et al. 1978). This model was later applied to adult romantic relationships and adapted to form theories of adult
It is an irrefutable fact that we should help each. However sometimes help to others poses some danger to either us or others. Thus Peter Singer’s argument that, “we ought to prevent evil whenever we can do so without sacrificing something of comparable moral significance” in my view is a better school of thought or a sound moral law. We shall find out how he arrives at this conclusion and how convincing he is. Singer begins his argument by outlining some very important facts about human beings.
The act was created to protect children and Templeman regarded the arguments on the words ‘is suffering’ as a distraction from the aim. ‘This is an example of judicial practicality and desire to see justice down’ . This case illustrates that the ‘rules’ of statutory interpretation do not have to be followed exactly and are merely guidelines. Lord Templeman states that the rules of interpretation have ‘an aura of scientific authenticity about them when the reality is that interpreting any document is more of an art than a science’ . In other words, the rules can only be guidelines because judges will clearly have different interpretations.

Who Is No Child Left Behind Leaving Behind? is an intriguing article by Theoni Soubus Smyth. Smyth uses the article to back up her opinion of the effects of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). The article delves into the history and background of testing for NCLB, as well as which groups (primarily minority groups) are being affected most adversely by NCLB’s statutes and policies. Smyth talks about different aspects of the NCLB Act of 2001 and creates a strong argument for her case on the too-many drawbacks of using NCLB’s testing principles as accountability for states, districts, schools and the individual educator.
In order for abortion to be wrong, the fetus must be believed to have full personhood and status as an individual being and that a fetus, though a morally significant being, it’s status is relational distinction rather than an absolute one: Without an existence outside the woman, a fetus cannot be a full being and therefore can be aborted without moral guilt. (Sherwin, 415) Marquis strengthens the traditional view that it is wrong to kill a child or infant and takes the next step to include the fetus in this category, supporting it with a sound philosophical foundation. Within this moral distinction, the actual location of the fetus—whether inside a woman’s body or some other imagined system that would make it viable—is immaterial to his argument. Marquis believes that the fetus’ right to life is more important than a woman’s right to her own body (as important as that right is). And he defends the fetus as an entity worth protecting because of the value of its

“They Say We’re Dirty” Denying an Education to India’s Marginalized- A report of Human rights watch- 2014,5 highlights the obstacles preventing certain children from attending school and the government’s failure to take the steps necessary to address the problem where discrimination remains a major factor affecting access to education for children from marginalized communities. In this report, Human Rights Watch examines the obstacles preventing certain children from attending school and the government’s failure to take the steps necessary to address the problem Though the concept of equality is already a key feature to the constitution and it prohibits discrimination on the grounds of religion and gives assurance through article 14, 15, 29&30, there is still discrimination in India which is widespread. Under the Indian constitution, Muslims enjoy the right of access to quality publicly funded education. In practice, however, they, like poor non-Muslim Indians, are denied such an education.
