Many people believe, “she died along with him.” My first thought was the little girl Idgie saw a horrific accident. At such a young age to see such a horrific accident would be very traumatizing event, even more so because it was her brother. I would not be surprised if in real life that would cause PTSD.

The doctor will ask for a complete description of what happened. Often it is important to bring along a family member or someone else who saw the seizure and can tell the doctor what happened, since the person who had the spell may have been unconscious. Even if the person thinks that he or she was aware, there may be important aspects of the spell that are not recalled.

The physical injury or ill-treatment of a child under the age of eighteen by a person who is responsible for the child’s wellbeing under circumstances, which indicate that the child’s health or wellbeing is harmed or threatened thereby, is the definition of child physical abuse, defined by The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (Newton, 2001). Ethical theory is an idea that helps a person form personal standards to help them differentiate what is morally good or bad. Child abuse within any standard is morally wrong in the eyes of most people.

In my interview with Mrs. Rachel Kagichiri, a parent to a recently diseased CP child, she explained to me that many of the misconceptions we have about the disease should be done away with. Karanja, her son, was often blamed on her ‘negligence’ by relatives and friends who openly thought she must have done something for her son to turn out this way.
In today’s society, divorce has become a norm in our lives. Married couples today are getting a divorce due to many different reasons, either because of conflicts in the marriage, lost of romantic feelings, a spouse committing an affair, and other type of marriage problems.

Next to being a parent, marriage is one of the hardest jobs an adult will have. Sadly, innocent children are the victims of their parent’s decision to end the marriage. Children under the age of 18 account for slightly more than half of all children affected by divorce (Mitcham-Smith & Henry, 2007). At times the children are affected more by the divorce than either of their parents realize.

Because of these rules and this large separation, people would feel a lot of shame for doing things that was against their religion.
