The introduction of contraception has led to couples having smaller families, therefore meaning that children now tend to receive more attention from their parents. Similarly, parents are also able to care for their children better due to the introduction of the welfare state and child benefits. Climbie’s case and ‘Every Child Matters’ has led to the improvement of social services and child protection, meaning childhood is much safer now than it was 50 years ago. Children are also in better health due to the NHS, meaning more children survive childhood now than ever before. All children can now receive state education up until the age of 18, meaning they are better educated and can achieve much higher in adulthood, whilst experiencing a longer period of youth.
Education has many other positive ripple effects. Statistics show that college educated individuals take better care of themselves, participate in more volunteer activities, and more socially conscience. These qualities can only make a company stronger. Healthier living can improve a company’s health insurance cost, and acquiring better social skills and understanding only enhances the work environment. Similar to the ideal of our Nation, to increase education and accessibility to all, for our country is better when more people get degrees as our company is.
Living Wage Law Poverty has increased because the wealth has been only flowing one direction. Living-wage laws must be passed in order to make salaries fair for the working poor. Although passing these laws could be a solution, there is a lot of controversy surrounding this issue. According to Maude Hurd, living-wage laws benefit workers because they provide higher wages that enable them to supply their primary needs. Additionally, living-wage laws allow workers more time to spend with their families.
Gorard found that the gender gap in achievement was stable from 1975 up until 1988 when it increased rapidly. This was when GCSE and with it coursework was introduced. Mitsos and Browne support the view that GCSE’s favoured girls as they were more successful in coursework due to the fact that girls are seen to be more careful with their work, more likely to spend longer on their work and meet deadlines. However, Ellwood argues that although coursework has had some influence, exams themselves have a greater influence in the final grade. Therefore this does not create a significant gap between gender differences.
Different types of schools help as parents have more choice and freedom of where they want their child to go. Single sex schools also help as it is thought that females do well when there are no males to distract them. They also get better exam results. Academy
There is much to say about gender roles and relationships and the view that they have become more equal. Item 2B mentions Gershuny who argues that there is a trend towards greater equality and says that there is often greater equality between the husband and wife IF the wife is in full time employment. His study’s identified a period of ‘lagged adaptation’ which is a time gap between the time when a woman starts paid work and t eh time where her husband increases his domestic activity. Devine would agree with Gershuny in the idea that we are moving towards greater equality but she identifies the fact that even though men are supposedly helping more, it is not enough and domestic labour is still seen as primarily the women’s responsibility.
The Institute for Higher Education Policy says college graduates not only earn more and account for larger amounts of savings but also enjoy the benefits of higher education such as professional and personal mobility, leisure activities, and higher quality of life in addition to developing better culture, rationale, consistence, and becoming more open-minded. Going even further, research has proven people with higher education have lower smoking rates and better health, which is an indirect positive factor for any employer in terms of lower cost on health expenses, higher performance, and lower number of sick-days. Indeed, education is the benefit for the person who achieves it at first place, but these are so-called ‘secondary effects’, if can be worded this way; the real benefit is better knowledge, opportunities, and qualities that this person brings to the company. New professional opportunities for the company consist of many aspects, such as better communication abilities in speaking, writing, and public presentations (and lower costs of poor communication as the result), generally better
This process is known as socialization. Among these socializing factors are gender, economic status, attitudes of parents, level and quality of education, and the influence of peers. While it is easy to say that you can reach wondrous goals by working hard and putting forth a hard effort, it is far easier for some people to climb the social ladder than it is for others. For example, sociological reasoning argues that a baby born to a wealthy married couple who demonstrate a great deal of love and nurturing is going to have an easier time getting ahead in life than a baby born to an impoverished, homeless, single mother. The sociological perspective holds that free will is a myth.
Single slaves who had children by whites may have been stigmatized in their efforts to build a family. While there are still Americans who disagree with miscegenation, the number of interracial relations has increased in today’s society. Recent surveys show that more young adults are prone to miscegenation. If both members of an interracial relationship trust and respect each other, if they can make each other laugh and help each other grow, and if each is willing to commit to staying with the relationship, then those two people have good reason to pursue interracial
Many suggested lowering it to 18 or 19 because it’ll help young adults be more responsible and they're legal adults. Keep it the same because of parental pushback and raising it due to older people who tend to be more responsible and developed mentally and physically. Today's youth and young adults there's more harm than good from drinking. So raising the age is more beneficial to the public's health and
