Welfare is a common part of our world today; both in the present and past. It is a very useful resource for those who are struggling and need it the most. Those who take this system for granted are the reasons why I disagree with the assistance all together. What I mean by this is that there are teen mothers out there who are capable of getting a full time job and work but instead they depend on the government. They waste the money provided by tax payers like me, using up all the funds for an act they could have prevented.
One of the main reasons Colorado refuses to pass the law is due to the cost of jail and lifetime surveillance - money of course outweighing the safety of children - enough said. Also, the reduced prison sentences are worth every cent because every year a violent sex offender or pedophile is in prison is a year protecting children from them. An understandable pitfall of Jessica’s Law is that it makes it nearly impossible to find homes for registered sex offenders due to the clause that states they cannot live within 2,000 feet of a school zone, park or where children gather. I concede that this makes it difficult and could be counterproductive since many become homeless and unable to keep under a close watch. This is a valid concern and can be dealt with state by state, the government spend astronomical amounts of tax payer dollars on nugatory programs.
In the article “Just whom is this Divorce good for? By Marquart she explains, “We found that children of so- called “good” divorces often do worse even than children of unhappy low- conflict marriages. They say more often, that family life was stressful and they had to grow up to soon. They are themselves more likely to divorce and children of divorce feel like divided selves”. I would have to agree with that because I am actually going through my parents getting a divorce and when I found out I didn’t want to believe it at all I didn’t want to see my parents split up it just wasn’t right to me.
The Puritan community in The Crucible was vulnerable in many ways and susceptible to irrational and panicky accusations of the Salem Witch Hunts because of their strict and constricting ways. The children in the community are treated very poorly and less than everyone else in the town. As the Salem Witch Hunts were essentially started by the children the fact that they were treated as lesser beings contributed to the communities demise. “He (Reverend Parris) regarded them as young adults, an until this strange crisis he, like the rest of Salem, never conceived that the children were anything but thankful for being permitted to walk straight, eyes slightly lowered, arms at their sides, and mouths shut until bidden to speak,” (Miller 3). Miller foreshadows the Witch Hunts to come.
Abuse reports, however, do not necessarily reflect the actual incidence of child abuse. No one knows with certainty how many children are abused; most agencies mandated to protect children are overburdened and underfunded, and children and families are all too often poorly served. To make sure families are properly served I will offer these families the best programs, which offer comprehensive educational, social, and medical services, to reduce reported incidents of child abuse in my
Today, millions young adults are facing real problems: lack of job opportunities, housing, and trying to survive in a fast, globalized world. Their knee-jerk reaction is to lash out and blame their parents and someone else. But, sadly, most parents just get more indulgent in response. However, there are other types of young that they only have very little ambition which are better than the selfish one. Gary, one of Newman’s interviewee, says that his son wants to live a solid life as a skilled
It’s irrational of them to keep all of the staff when over half of the institutions populations were released just so that they can keep their jobs. I believe this is why America is in so much debt that because of greedy people not helping children and just thinking about themselves has gotten America to were they are now. Yes They have put in place new laws and reforms to help children but how much is it really helping them and how much are we not
poverty Poverty in the United States is getting worse each day and not enough is getting done about it. The readings from “Babies and Benefits” by Sheila Holbrook-White, the article on poverty by Michael J. Paquette, and “Keeping Women And Children Last” by Ruth Sidel made me view the issues of poverty in a different way. I never realised what kind of people were living in poverty, and the true reasons why they are there. What amazes me the most is how much these people need help, and how little the government is doing to help them. The government should set up work programs for these people to help them get better jobs and make enough money to survive.
As human beings, optimal health is dependent on making valuable contributions to the community in which we live and paid employment is one of the most common ways to achieve this. A lack of proper education is also contributing to the inability to obtain employment, leaving the future of the younger generation of these communities in jeopardy. This is due to cultural practices being emphasised over mainstream schooling and education. It is hardly surprising that Northern Territory students in 40 'Homeland Learning Centres'- so called schools that do not have qualified teachers every day- cannot read, write, or count with programs like teaching children to count with rocks and leaves. In 1988, the Government set a target to 'close the gap in Indigenous education' within four years, unfortunately this did not happen.
Many of these women are not only forced to support themselves, but they are also now forced to be the sole caretakers of the children from the marriage. As divorce rates continue to rise, combined with today’s economy, many of these women are forced to take care of these children on their own as their ex-husbands are not able to, or do not want to pay child support. “The United States has one of the highest percentages of children living in poverty among, because the majority of them are living in mother-headed households” (DiNitto and McNeece). Although the children are both the mother’s and father’s responsibility, many times the mothers are left alone as the fathers figure out ways to avoid their financial responsibilities. As such, many of these formerly unskilled women are now forced to learn a trade and join the workforce.
