Child Slave Labor news tells us that, “the children start to become numb to the wrongs that… it becomes so natural, they don’t even recognize the atrocious crimes they are committing.” Most of these children don’t want to be a part of these wars, so the militias they are fighting for have to resort to despicable acts, like torturing the kids into believing their cause. Some of them probably won’t ever be able to forget the acts they commit, and that’s if they even get out of the conflict alive. All over the world children have been involved in wars and conflicts for hundreds of years, but that needs to change. Using drugs, having no choice and being brainwashed are just some of the factors that make child soldiers not morally responsible for their actions. The number of child soldiers is increasing every day; we can help to stop the violence by writing letters to our lawmakers, or by raising money so these children can be extracted from the violence.
Immediately Dalgard did, to him it appeared that the monkeys had come down with simian hemorrhagic fever (SFH). Deadly to monkeys but harmless to humans. He was not sure what to do, so he went home for the weekend to think about it. But, that did not last long, as he could not stop thinking about the monkeys. So he turned around and came back.
Animals are being pushed further and further into insanity and then being blamed for their behavior, when in reality, it’s only natural for them to act aggressively. They are being attacked by their own species. They are taken from their families and forced to give a flawless performance multiple times a day. It is barbaric. The film shows a scene where a baby orca is taken from her mother and all the mom is left to do is weep in the corner by herself for her newborn kin.
He placed a drumming toy into the cage to see how the monkeys would react when they were frightened. He found that all the monkeys ran to the cloth monkey even the ones that had been fed by the wire monkey. He also noticed that when they were put into the cage after being frightened they were delinquent and showed signs of anti social behaviour. They were also unable to form normal relationships. Therefore he concluded that the monkeys in the cage suffered emotionally and so resulted in delinquency, but also the monkeys had an innate need for comfort.
Mitch McNamara 3012456 Engl.102-AS14 Dr. Ford October 18, 2013 Causes of Addictions (revised) In “Embraced by the Needle” writer Gabor Maté in his expository essay argues that in a person’s childhood they need a loving non-stressed environment so they will not need to look to outside sources such as drugs for that warm comforting feeling. These life experiences initiate brain development at an early age by promoting the growth of receptors and nerve cells, which inevitably will make children less susceptible to addictions later in life. Many parents of drug addicts had childhood issues or were emotionally distressed growing up. This likely deemed them unsuitable parents and unable to provide their children with positive warm interactions
The thing that Hope was protecting Andy from was the voices in her head. She would hear the voices telling her that someone were going to take him or hurt him in some way. Hope had many problems because she did not have the parenting skills that she needed to take care of Andy. Hope needed people in her life to help her care for Andy and to tell her what she was doing right and what she was doing wrong. Social services should have removed Andy from her care because she could not care for him.
However, we cannot generalise the findings of this theory to humans because the evidence is based largely on animals - humans behave completely differently to animals. Research by Harlow and Harlow contradicts the learning theory because in their study which consisted of putting a baby monkey in a stressful situation and then placing two wire mesh monkey models in the room, one with food, and the other with a soft blanket on it, the baby monkey chose comfort over food every time. Shaffer and Emerson’s study in 1964 studied 60 babies every 4 weeks in their first year and again at 18 months. The babies were clearly attached to people who were not involved in their physical care. In 39% of the cases, the mother – who was the food provider – was not the baby’s main attachment figure, so this contradicts the learning
The fact that the parents could, and even would, deny their infant son such basic needs simply due to the fact he had been declared mentally retarded seems a major ethical faux pas. Simply based on the five focal virtues created by Beuchamp and Childress (Darr), there were multiple areas where the case of Baby Boy Doe failed to meet these criteria. Compassion could be argued, in that possible compassion for the parents may be cited, but compassion for the infant was woefully absent. Discernment, rather viewed as judgment of sensitivity, failed for the infant, although sensitivity toward the parents could be argued. Trustworthiness and integrity were adhered to as best as possible during the time period in which the case presented.
According to Burlingham and Freud this behavior proved that emotional contact was a powerful, natural drive and also that the “artificial families” institutionalized children formed could never satisfy that drive (Adoption, 2010). Their war work was summarized in Infants Without Families; the book supported evidently general literature on development, and adoption science. The book concluded that residential institutions were not sufficient care for children because they produced abnormal development in them, without the nurture of a mother the inability to attach held lifelong
Despite the fact that some people believe child soldiers are replicas or replicate child criminals, child soldiers should be given amnesty because they aren't morally responsible for their actions, they are forced into fighting, and the goal should be to rehabilitate the child soldiers and not to punish. First of all, child soldiers should not be held accountable for their actions during wartime. While it is well known that children make imperfect decisions all the time, there is a scientific reasoning to this phenomena. Studies show that “the section of the brain known as the frontal lobes controls decision making and only fully develops well into your 20's. Children simply lack the ability to think of the long-term consequences of their actions” (Invisible Children).
