It’s beneficial as there are male and female role models available for the children, and it gives the parents more control of how their children are brought up. Another strength is that there’s less interference from wider family members however this can also be seen as a negative aspect, as other people are unaware of what’s happening and if there was any problems within the family and therefore it’s difficult to identify neglect. This also makes it difficult to seek professional help outside of the family. Another disadvantage of this privatised nuclear family is that children are only exposed to one set of values and so are influenced to become like their parents in the future as they have no exposure to other behaviours of different families. A criticism of this
We were talking about the boys, about how we wanted to see them grow up. John wanted out kids to grow up to be wise, respectful men who deal with those around them honestly. He taught them to defend those who can’t do it themselves. I think he’d be proud to see the men those boys will become.
There are certain obligations that go along with the role of being a son. Not all families will run things in the same ways, but most would agree that the son has the following responsibilities. They should always treat their parents with respect in a way of saying thank you for taking care of their needs. The son should obey their commands for their own benefit. Since it takes two people to make a relationship possible, the son should also make as much of an effort as the parent in keeping that relationship a positive one.
Bible says “…when I became a man, I put away childish things” A young boy could want to be like his father when he grows up, or a girl could long to be like her mother; Walter’s desire is to be like his employer. Maybe that’s the reason he must his ambitions on his son? Because the maturity of everyone else in the household is too advanced to entertain said ambitions? In the passage, Walter tells his son of his dream as if he were selling it to him. This is done to get his son to agree and want the same thing.
In the excerpt from the letter written by Lord Chesterfield to his son, he implies that he would like to advise his son and also reveal his own values. The author uses several rhetorical strategies throughout the text, such as anaphoras, rhetorical questions, and metaphors, which indicate his own values. Lord Chesterfield uses long sentences, separated by colons or semicolons, which may suggest he wants to advise his son in a quick, but friendly manner. Lord Chesterfield uses irony by when he first addresses his son, he does not “mean to dictate as a parent; only to advise as a friend.” As the letter continues though, he hints to his son that he is his father, and indeed he wants him to listen and follow to what he is informing his son of. The author also continues to explain to his son that he is “absolutely dependent upon him” and that “he neither had, nor can have a
Their relationship is based on security and support. Harry observes and benefits from his father’s behaviour and personality. Also, Harry is reassured in becoming mature and independent, because he feels security and support from his father. Harry also demonstrates his love for his father as a result of him feeling well parented by him. Through these ideas we can see that the relationship between Harry and his father is protective and encouraging.
Waiting to have children was also a benefit for them because they had the time to have fun, live their lives, and enjoy their time as a couple. They didn’t have pressure or were in a hurry to have a child. What did the men have to learn as new fathers? As new fathers they had to learn how to do all the things the mother has to do. Being with your partner and having a child, it is now also the man’s responsibility to take care of the child so they must learn how to: change diapers, bath the baby, feed the baby, and to also hold the baby with care.
Children really need attachment figures that can provide care .Usually this would come in the form of a single care provider however there are certain circumstances were multiple attachments figures are needed in order to ensure basic survival. This would mean that evolutionary theory of attachment would be more applicable to Tina’s situation. As Tina would be too busy taking care of her child, she would not be able to buy herself the necessities needed to care for the baby as well as herself. This would mean that the father would have to be introduced into the relationship in order to ensure their basic future survival as the father may be able to provide these resources while the mother can
A bond between a father and son that is desired may not always be one of love, but one of much pain. The relationship between a father and a son is one that should help prepare a boy for his future. Khaled Hosseini, the author of the The Kite Runner, uses an emotional bond between a father and a son to express the need of a fatherly figure in a boy’s life. The relationship that clearly demonstrates this need for a fatherly figure is between Baba and Amir. Despite the fact that Rahim Kahn gave Amir a sense of morality throughout his life, Baba has a very significant and dominant impact on Amir.
If the parents of the family taught their kids respect and discipline instead of buying them whatever they wanted to keep them happy the kids could be much more appreciative when the got something such as “the nursery” and would not abuse what their parents give them. This theme is shown once again when one of the children in the family yells “I wish you were dead!” (pg.35) after the father attempts to shut down the nursery. The child overlooks the fact that without his
