Inspired much by religion (radical nonconformism) than by economical science.

And al roughly all mainstream ideologies can be regarded as variants of liberalism.* Liberal values/ideas of vital historical importance central to development of British political traditionUNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS AND VALUES OF LIBERALISM* Hall (1986) describes liberals as open-minded, tolerant, rational, freedom-loving people, quizzical of the claims of tradition and established imprimatur, barely strongly connected to the values of closeness, rivalry and individual freedom. 19th century liberalism stood for individualism in politics, civilised and political rights, parliamentary government, moderate reform, limited stir intervention, and a orphic enterprise economy. Widespread agreement over key liberal ideas/values though not over their later development and interpretation.* recognise assumption is individualism. Individuals (rather than nations/ racecourses/classes) are the starting point. Society an aggregate of individuals social behaviour explained in toll of some basic assumptions ab appear merciful psychology. some liberal brains saw order of magnitude as an artificial creation prior demesne of nature where neither society nor government existed. Implication that society and government were purposefully created by individuals in pursuit of their own self-interest. So no social interests beyond the interests of individuals who make up society.* Individuals pursue their own self-interest rationally. No-one else (especially rulers) can determine the individuals own interest. positive assumpt ion that the general pursuit of rational self-interest will advance not plainly individual satisfaction but also social progress and the happiness of the superior number.* Freedom the key value individuals moldiness be free to pursue their own self-interest (Mill). Originally this had a negative interpretation i.e. importance of freedom from external constraint. In betimes history of liberalism this entailed firm limits on power of government to interfere with individual autonomy. An important application was principle of toleration employ especially to unearthly belief championed by Locke (1689) Mill (1859) went on to demand full freedom of ruling and expression. Later some liberals stressed freedom to enjoy real benefits (positive liberty) thus entailing extensive state intervention to enlarge freedom (Green (1881) and Hobhouse (1911) and Berlin (1975)). counterpoint between positive and negative views of freedom (and divergent implications) a major(ip) theme in th e development of liberalism in 20th century.* Influence of egalitarian assumptions. So stress on equality in advance the impartiality, and equal civil and political rights (though teeny-weeny agreement on what these should be in entrust). virtually liberals thus justify state provision of education et al to create greater equality of opportunity. tho this commitment generally accompanied by acceptance of considerable inequality of income and wealth so in practice equality sacrificed to liberty?* Freedom entails the freedom to be unequal? But liberals deny that individual liberty is inconsistent with social umpire. Self-seeking individualism, yes but equation of major power and right, no. Squaring of circle attempt to make justice consistent with pursuit of rational self-interest (Rawls, 1971). Implies optimistic view of human nature and thus scope for reconciling individual and collective goals. wherefore liberalism differs here from traditional conservatism (more pess imistic ab stunned human nature) and socialist economy (deny reconciliation can be readily achieved)SUMMARY OF THE HISTORICAL WHIG-LIBERAL custom* 17th century Puritanism and Parliamentarism* Late 17th/18th century The Whig tradition brilliant Revolution (Locke), constitutional monarchy, government by acquiesce, division of powers, religious toleration (Charles throng Fox), oligarchy, mercantilism.* Late 18th/early 19th century primaryism revolution (Paine), rationalism, rights of man.* Classical liberalism ( smith) Individualism (Malthus), free markets (Ricardo), utilitarianism (Bentham), object lesson democracy ( James Mill).* Mid 19th/later 19th century Victorian Liberalism Manchester liberalism (Cobden), nonconformism (Bright), free trade (Gladstone), nationalism (Mill), municipal gospel (Joseph Chamberlain).* Late 19th century/early 20th century New Liberalism (T.H.Green) social reform (Hobhouse), state intervention (Hobson), liberal imperialism (Edward Grey), nation al efficiency (Asquith), constitutional reform (Lloyd George).* twenties to 1970s Decline of Liberal Party but progressive liberal consensus (Keynes, Beveridge).* Late 20th century/early 21st century Liberal revival? (Steel) European Union (Ashdown), devolution (Kennedy).THE WHIG TRADITION* Whig company in 17th century impertinent royal absolutism and championed religious hold out fend for for rights of parliament and for limits on royal power. Influence of Locke (1632-1704) belief in inbred rights to life, liberty and property government should rest on consent of governed, whose rebellion was justified if their rights were infringed. Need for constitutional limits on government, and division between legislative and executive powers ideas enshrined (imperfectly) in British Constitution post 1688 Glorious Revolution, and later helped to inspire French and American Revolutions.* Contradictions in Whiggism. Defence of secular interests aristocrats and merchant/banking allies sought to preserve own power, property, privileges from brat of crown. No concern for massive 18th century wealth/income inequalities. And no paying attention to spread power beyond the propertied, so constitution they developed/defended was oligarchical/conservative. Fortunes made out of war, slave trade, India. Enclosure of land at disbursement of rural poor ruthless enforcement of game laws.* Radical interpretation of Whiggism also no valuateation without representation (slogan of parl. opposition to the Stuarts) also became cry of American colonies. 1776 Declaration of Independence based on Whig principles French revolution welcomed by most Whigs Whig leader Charles James Fox defended its principles/championed civil liberties in England (until demise in 1806).* Out of office, 1783-1830, so able to proclaim continued supplement to peace, retrenchment and reform unsuccessful parl. Reform bills, 1797 and 1810. Some credit claimed for abolishment of slave trade, spell tr aditional Whig demand for religious toleration reaffirmed in support for Catholic emancipation.* Defection of Old Whigs and accommodation within Foxite remainder of party of new radical generation, committed to reform, helped to preserve/reestablish a politically progressive Whig tradition that in the end merged into liberalism. 1832 Reform cultivate the culmination of the Whig tradition yet underlines its essentially conservative nature truly modest franchise citation (some of the propertied middle classes). Yet new urban centres gained at the expense of the shires manufacturing/commerce at the expense of land. Whig aristocrats ultimately lost influence to urban-based business and professional middle classes (the muscle bunghole Victorian liberalism), though Whigs remained an important, if diminishing, element within the Liberal coalition until the late 19th century. (An antidote to those who view liberalism almost exclusively in terms of free markets neglects the Whig fou ndations).* The Whig-Liberal tradition is essentially a political tradition, concerned with constitutional issuings/civil liberties/parl. sovereignty/ government by consent/freedom of scruples and religious observance/no taxation without representation. Whiggism served economic interests but neer really an economic doctrine not about free trade/markets. Foreign trade policy in 17th/18th centuries mercantilist aimed to assure (through colonisation, Navigation Acts and war) the largest possible British share of world trade.RADICALS* Radical reformers at different times, interwoven with or opposed to Whig tradition influence on some(prenominal) liberalism and socialism. Radicalism a broad term, with different connotations for different periods, yet colossal influence on British liberalism and 19th century Liberal party.* Paine (1737-1809) never draped into the Whig (later Liberal) establishment argued that once sovereignty had been pointred from the monarch to the people, there was no logical case for restricting the franchise his ideas the logical outcome of Whig slogans. Paine a liberal? (uncompromising individualism, sympathies with manfacturers, hostility to government). Or a socialist? (Blueprint for the Welfare give in, support for graduated income tax, inspiration for Chartists). More impact in USA/France than in Britain seen as dangerous due to uncompromising republicanism, total opposition to hereditary principle, rejection of Christianity.* Philosopher radicals (or utilitarians) such as Bentham were in touch with progressive Whigs Whitbread and Brougham constituted the progressive wing of the parl. party. Cobbetts radical populism harked back to pre-industrial age Bright (Quaker manufacturer) belonged to new generation of post 1832 MPs himself displaced by new breed of radicals who took over the Liberal party in latter part of 19th century.* Radical pressure reinforced Whig commitment to parliamentary reform in 1832, and later. linkup with religious dissent in 2nd half of 19th century imbued it with strong incorrupt character fuelled demands for non-denominational state education and C of E disestablishment. Also strongly associated with the municipal gospel in local government. union of Whigs and radicals with former Peelites created Liberal Party, 1859. Whigs continued to dominate Liberal Cabinets, but radicals predominate increasingly important grass roots level, especially after 1859 governance of the National Liberal Federation.* Yet it was a relatively restrained, religiously inspired, and strangely British strand of radicalism which eventually prevailed rather than the fiercely rationalist, republican radicalism of Paine. unblemished ECONOMICS AND UTILITARIANISM* Intellectual (rather than object lesson) influence on Victorian liberalism of perfect economic experts and utilitarians. metalworker (1732-90), Malthus (1766-1834) and Ricardo (1772-1823) established importance of markets in the allocati on/distribution of resources. And Benthams (1748-1832) utility-grade principle was applied to a wide range of institutions/practices fiercely rationalist analysis (What use is it?). The greatest happiness of the greatest number was the only right and proper end of government.* both stemmed from the 18th century Enlightenment both shared the individualist/rationalist assumptions underpinning liberalism distributively tended to share the implications of the others approach. Mill had a foot in both camps.* But modern neo-liberals argue it is only Smith and Hume (18th century Scottish Enlightenment) who represent the true spirit of liberalism. Bentham et al are unholy for ideas which provided a warrant for much later illiberal interventionist policy ( gray-headed, 1986). The greatest happiness principle is seen as a breach of free market economics, since the principle of representative democracy (advocated by Mill who converted Bentham) might involve electoral pressures for interfer ence with free market forces moreover, neo-liberals are opposed to Benthams advocacy of bureaucracy, and thus the appointment of qualified, salaried public officials.The mutually exclusive implications of Benthamite thinking are seen in the utilitarian-influenced Poor Law Amendment Act (1834) the fit poor moldiness enter a workhouse where their condition would be less eligible than that of the lowest independent labourer (free market incentives) at the alike time theAct required a comprehensive network of administrative areas and officials, and a large degree of central control and inspection (bureaucracy).* Hence modern neo-liberals are decisive of Benthams constructivist rationalism (Hayek, 1975) Gray (1986) claims that it had an inherent mark to spawn policies of interventionist social engineering. Their refusal to recognise Bentham as a liberal involves an artificial conception of liberalism which has little in common with the Whig/Liberal tradition.* The major classical eco nomists contributed significantly to Victorian liberalism, but their ideas were extensively vulgarised. Even Smith allowed for significant exceptions to his invisible hand. Popularisers such as Harriet Martineau, Edward Baines and Samuel Smiles reduced the principles of classical economics to individuation (for governments) and self-help (for individuals). Public policy, moreover, was never consistently governed by laissez-faire look at the various Factory Acts, Public Health Acts and Acts to square up the rail counselings and banks passed in the early Victorian period.VICTORIAN LIBERALISM* Although the term liberal was applied from the early 19th century, the Liberal Party emerged only in the 1850s from a party realignment of Whigs, radicals and Peelite Conservatives. Gladstone (1809-98), originally a Con. follower of Peel, the embodiment of Victorian liberalism. Domination of Liberal party, and shaped in his own image he became more radical and populist with age. Also inspired by Christian moral fervour struck chord among nonconformists. So Gladstonian liberalism a moral crusade (Vincent, 1966).* Several strands. Parliamentary reform derived from Whig tradition advocacy of Bright, then Gladstone turned it into a populist cause. Proposals for modest franchise elongation developed into radical demands for full manhood suffrage. Nonconformist strand while the 1860s parliamentary party was lock in overwhelmingly Anglican, the Liberals were becoming the party of the nonconformist conscience (Vincent, 1966).Nonconformist pressures spawned the National Education League (to campaign for a national, free and secular system of education), which provided the model for the National Liberal Federation (1877) which established a national organisation for he Liberal party, and tipped it resolutely towards radical nonconformism. By the 1880s the PLP (and the party in the country) was predominantly nonconformist.* instigate for liberal and nationalist movements i n Europe, especially Italian unification, helped create Palmerstons 1859 government and kept it intact Gladstone campaigned against the Bulgarian atrocities, bringing him out of premature retirement and into close collaboration with the nonconformists. The religious fervour female genitals his mission to pacify Ireland both split the party and strengthened the moral element in liberalism.* Manchester liberalism also quite influential in the party after 1859. Free trade was established as a liberal principle. Gladstone, as Chancellor, built on earlier work of Cobden and Bright (Anti clavus Law League, 1846 repeal of Corn Laws reflected transfer of power from landed to manufacturing interests) by abolishing a range of duties Cobden negotiated Anglo-French trade treaty of 1860. But free trade did not entail laissez-faire in domestic policy Cobdens opposition to Factory Acts increasingly out of tune with the times.* Increased state intervention entailed by liberal practice major re forms in education, the army, the law and civil service, 1868-74. Third Reform Act, 1884 triumph of radical demands over Whig caution. Chamberlains unlicenced Programme (1885) and the Newcastle Programme (1891) marked decisive shift towards radicalism.* stride of change too fast for some Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) combined laissez-faire economics with evolutionary survival of the fittest opposition to most forms of state intervention universe introduced by Liberals at national and local level but out of metre. By contrast, Mill (1806-73) key transitional figure in evolution of liberalism. The sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in busybodied with the liberty of any of their number is self-protection (1859) in effect a plea for minimal state intervention (Mill denounced censorship and argued for full liberty of thought and expression). Yet his commitment to individuality (and advocacy of democracy) caused him to fear the despotism of the majority and the despotism of custom, seen as a greater threat to individuality than deliberate actions by governments. So a watershed thinker in the development of liberalism from individualism to collectivism (Gray, 1986).LIBERALISM, CAPITALISM AND DEMOCRACY* Liberalism fast associated with rise of industrial capitalism preeminently the creed of the owners of industrial/ financial capital. Its political objectives focused on the enfranchisement of the new middle classes and the transfer of political power to the major manufacturing urban centres. No coincidence that Liberal party finally emerged in the 1850s when Britains industrial and commercial self-confidence was unchallenged, and the operative classes were ununionised and unenfranchised. Even further back, protestant dissent (and especially puritanism) collective ideas favourable to the spirit of capitalist accumulation.* But British liberalism cannot be obviously derived from capitalism. The leading Whig MPs, who were still prominent in 19th century Liberal governments, were large landowners many rank and file Liberals were not manufacturers but low-toned shopkeepers and tradesmen many of the work class were attached to the Liberal cause (even before the vote). In practice liberalism a coalition of class interests. Many of its causes temperance, religious disestablishment, home rule were scarcely connected with the interests of capitalism. Leading liberal thinkers Mill, Hobhouse, Keynes, Beveridge gave capitalism only qualified support.* Establishment of capitalist economy accompanied by the gradual establishment of a liberal democratic system no coincidence. Indeed, Marxist view is that rep. democracy offers best shell for capitalism so hardly surprising that party of the bourgeoisie was at forefront of parliamentary reform movement, though stopping short of support for full rep. democracy. Gray (1986, and a neo-liberal) accounts for this by arguing that unlimited democracy cannot be li beral government since it respects no domain of independence or liberty as being immune to invasion by governmental means.* But representative democracy in early 19th century was largely untried, so not surprising liberals were apprehensive about what was a radical minority cause. Yet Paine advocated full manhood suffrage, and Mill argued for extension to women of full political rights. Once the logic of reform was accepted and liberals became committed to the theory and practice of rep. democracy their conversion was wholehearted, and seen by many (such as Chamberlain) as a justification for abandoning earlier limitations to government intervention.Herbert Samuel (1902) argued a improve state could be entrusted with social reform Now democracy has been substituted for aristocracy as the root principle of the constitution .the State today is held meritable to be the instrument of the community in many affairs for which the State of yesterday was clearly incompetent.. Acceptance of democracy a critical step towards New Liberalism. Inexorable logic by which liberals progressed from parliamentary reform to representative democracy, to state intervention and the apparent abandonment of some of the principles associated with earlier liberalism.THE wise LIBERALISM* Flourished in late 19th/early 20th centuries convoluted state economic/social reform which repudiated laissez-faire liberalism. Controversial development natural extension and refinement of the old principles OR culmination of anti-liberal elements present in the liberal tradition from the 1840s in the work of Mill. (Socialist critics dismiss NL as a forlorn attempt to revive an outmoded ideology Arblaster, 1984).* Origins of NL? Influence of Hegelian idealism? Party project to win working class support and head off rising work challenge? Need to germinate British economy/society and thus to compete more effectively? Or simply a rationalisation of the substantial growth in government intervent ion that had already occurred?* Key NL thinkers were Green, Hobson and Hobhouse. Green (1836-82) an Oxford philosopher and Hegelian Hobson an economist who believed under-consumption to be the cause of unemployment Hobhouse (1864-1929) a philosopher/sociologist. Common aim to redefine old liberal values in line with new political practice. So freedom, according to Green, meant a positive power or capacity and must be enjoyed by all. Hobson referred to the provision of equal opportunities for self-development so state intervention might be needed to remove obstacles. (But each enlargement of the authority and functions of the State must justify itself as an enlargement of personal liberty, interfering with individuals only in order to set free new and larger opportunities). Hobhouse justified interference with the market to detain the right to work and the right to a living wage, given the powerlessness of individual workers to secure such rights.* Liberal politicians were more c autious than the NL ideologues, though were increasingly interventionist, both at national and at local level. Locally, enthusiasm for civic improvements amounted to a municipal gospel city government seen as a test-bed for policies which could be applied nationally.Chamberlain (1836-1914) a radical Liberal mayor of Birmingham before despicable to national politics (later split with Gladstone and allied with the Conservatives) campaign for the Unauthorised Programme (1895) based on LG experience hospitals, rails, museums, libraries, galleries, baths, parks, etc. Explicit rejection of laissez-faire, which was equal to acceptance of selfish wealth alongside poverty accepted foment that proposed reforms were in practice socialism. Radical, reforming approach of 1895 UA echoed in 1891 Newcastle programme. At national level, little opportunity to implement the NL programme before the Liberal landslide success of 1906.* 1906-14 Liberal Government key figures were Asquith and Lloy d George. Welfare reforms included provision of school meals and OAPs, and LGs introduction of national health and unemployment insurance (1911). LGs 1909 cypher involved some modest income/wealth redistribution through the land tax and progressive income tax. And Churchills labour exchanges showed willingness to intervene in the labour market.* Key stimulus was rising challenge of labour historians disagree over electoral appeal of state welfare advocated by leaders of organised working class, but not necessarily popular with working class voters, and panic-stricken many middle class voters. Rosebery (briefly PM post Gladstone) thought Newcastle programme cost the party votes, though his Liberal Imperialism appealed to a chauvinistic working class, while his more modest economic/social reform programme promoted National Efficiency and appealed to progressive businessmen set on competing successfully with the rising economies of Germany, USA and Japan.DECLINE OF THE LIBERAL PARTY AND TRIUMPH OF LIBERALISM?* NL failed to restrain decline of Liberal party. WW1 undermined Liberal internationalism. Pressures towards collectivism/coercion associated with modern warfare created huge strains for Liberal individualism especially on symbolic issue of conscription. And after WW1 many Liberal causes (religious nonconformism, temperance, free trade) seemed less relevant.* Yet the revolt of the Liberal party signifies the triumph of liberalism .. if liberalism is now partly invisible, this is because so many of its assumptions and ideals put one across infiltrated political practice and current awareness. (Eccleshall, 1986). Culmination of liberal thought seen in Beveridges social welfare proposals and in Keynesian economic theory provided basis of the post WW2 ideological consensus. 1942 Beveridge Report based on insurance principle, and was in keeping with spirit of LGs 1911 insurance dodge though much more comprehensive. Keynes economic theory provided for mac ro government intervention but allowed markets to operate freely at the micro level. Both B and K favoured private ownership of the means of production. It was precisely this kind of state intervention to promote employment and welfare provision which was favoured by earlier NLs like Green and Hobhouse.* Other liberal ideas long absorbed into British culture. 1960s changes in the law on divorce, homosexuality and stillbirth some relaxation of censorship all compatible with Mills 1859 proclamation of principles of individual liberty. Later laws on equal pay, equal opportunities, and race and sex discrimination in 1970s fully consistent with liberal ideology. Thus a progressive liberal orthodoxy was established, with support from all parties.* presumable triumph of economic/social ideas of NL complicated by revival (from 1970s onwards) of the older free market liberalism associated with classical economics. Hence modern use of term liberal requires a qualifying prefix. Hence progr essive (or social) liberals advocate penal reform, civil liberties, protection of rights of minorities, freedom of expression, and open government insolent economic interventionists. Neo-liberals (Hayek, Friedman) favour free market ideas on the right of the political spectrum, with key influence on the New Right and on Thatcherite conservatism.THE IDEAS OF juvenile LIBERALS AND LIBERAL DEMOCRATS* Modest revival in Liberal party fortunes began in 1960s accelerated in mid 1970s given nervous impulse by alliance with SDP in 1983 and 1987 merger to form LDs. Now involved in coalition in Scotland and Wales, have large role in English LG, and 52 MPs after 2001 General Election. Accompanied by revival in associated political ideas.* Policies of Liberals/LDs involve continuation of NL tradition welfare capitalism, with strong stress upon individual rights. Distinctive Liberal policies included early advocacy of UK membership of EU, devolution, incomes policies, partnership in industr y, electoral and other constitutional reform, and a focus on the community (linked with Liberal successes in LG).* postwar Liberal party did little to extend/develop liberalism no floor new ideas or major thinkers. Neither electoral successes nor failures owed much to liberal ideology. Key decisions for leadership have been tactical, not ideological whether to accept heathlands coalition offer in 1974, whether to support the Labour government after 1977, how to handle the SDP breakaway from Labour in 1981, and how soon to promote a merger with the SDP. In fact, more intellectual ferment among the SDP, and their post -merger remnants. Dividing line between NL and Fabian socialism has always been thin? Hobhouse talked of liberal socialism in 1911 Hobson joined Labour after WW1. Thinner still following revisionist tendencies on the Labour Right in the 1950s, and the SDP breakaway in 1981. Hence the Liberal/SDP Alliance (and later merger) can be seen as the practical expression of an ideological convergence that was already well under way (Behrens, 1989). But ultimately it was the Liberals that swallowed the SDP, and not the other way move so the modern LDs are the clear lineal descendants of the old Liberal party.* Paradoxically, as fortunes of the Liberals/LDs have risen, LD ideas have become less typical. For most of post WW2 period Liberals adopted an intermediate position between Con and Lab. Briefly, in early 1980s, Liberals (and allies) seemed to offer a distinctive middle way between Thatcherism and left wing socialism. Since then Lab has reoccupied the centre cause previously vacated, leaving the LDs with little ideological space and few distinctive ideas or policies on the management of the economy, constitutional reform, Europe, defence and foreign policy the differences between the LDs and Lab are ARGUABLY more of degree than kind.* to a lower place Ashdowns leadership, coalition with Labour seemed logical, even likely, given Blairs avidness to heal the divisions on the centre-left which had left the Cons dominant for most of the 20th century. Coalitions in LG and in the devolved bodies provide continuing impetus but sheer subdue of Labs victories in 1997 and 2001 (and resistance within both parties) have weakened the project. LDs have pursued a more independent and critical line under Kennedy, without yet returning to earlier policy of equidistance between Lab and Con.* Attempts made to articulate a distinctive LD philosophy in these unpromising political circumstances by Wallace (1997), Russell (1999) and Ballard (2000). Yet terminology occupied cooperation, working with others, partnership politics, community shared by New Labour and progressive Conservatives. Higher profile of LDs has drawn attention to considerable sort of views in the party free market liberals, social liberals, conservatives with a social conscience and dissatisfied ex-Labour voters, greens, anarchists . (Ballard, 2000). Shows tolerance a nd inclusiveness? But not ideological coherence. The real problem is that there is now little distinctive ideological country for the LDs to occupy, but this underlines the widespread acceptance of liberal ideas across mainstream British political parties.

How important are parents in a child’s life? Essay

P bentsHow weighty ar parents in a boors life? In my opinion, parents are extremely important in the raising of a child. Without the presence of a parent, a child lead have a very difficult time bob uping up. there are essential things that a child has to be provided with. Those impoverishments, I assort them into three important categoriesLoveLove is absolutely necessary in a good parent-kid relationship. It helps form stronger and better relationships. Things that parents do out of applaud go away make kids appreciate them more. A lot of times develop lessons, though sometimes harsh, are included in the love bundle. Kids may not appreciate this right away, but in the want run they will realize their mistake and they will be thankful for those few slaps across the butt or the face. Most of the time a little discipline is all you need to make sure that kids rub on the right road in life.SupportKids need nominate in order to survive in the real world. Parents are the o nly ones that elicit give them support in the arising of their lives. Kids will need emotional support to face some of the problems earlier in their life, because of ethereal lack of experience. Not knowing how to solve some of the lifes problems would only help them get hurt. Thats when the parents play the key type in their life. Parents can talk one-on-one with their children, with patience and understanding. This is very important. When a child needs advice, or needs to open up, it is very important for parents to be wise and understanding.Criticism and getting mad will neer bring closeness between a parent and a child. some other example of support is financial. Financial support is something not all parents can give, but if they can do it, then it would really help the kid. When I say financial support I do not smashed giving them spending money any time they ask for it. What I mean is more bid money for school activities and funds for afterwardeducation in their life. This will give them many opportunities as they go through life. It is up to the children to take advantage of those opportunities.SacrificeGood parents grant many things in order to provide for their kids. Sometimes they will ignore an important social event just so that they could stay national and help their kids with the homework or they would get off early from work, in spite of the managers warning, so that they would be at their kids game and chirk up them on. Some people would call this sacrifice, but I say they are wrong. It is a good investment in a relationship. Kids will grow up appreciating their parents.I could not imagine a parent-kid relationship without love, in my opinion it would not be a relationship. Kids without support would be like young plants without a pole for support, they would just fall over and dry out out. Sacrifice from the parents side helps kids realize that there will always be someone at their side when they need them. In conclusion I think that these three categories are a must(prenominal) for a parent.

Prejudice, Stereotypes, and Discrimination Essay

We every(prenominal) decry impairment, yet are all hurtd. Herbert Spencer. One of the great problem that our populace faces is disfavor, we variation and stereotype those that we find non to be the same as us or even slightly different. In some system or another we all have go steady some form of stereotype or discrimination. It has an effect on the expressive style we think and act. Here we endeavour to understand the reason for prejudice, why we stereotypes and discrimination that has continue to affect knocked out(p) world. What is prejudice?Prejudice is the act of mind an individual of a certain convocation based on comprehend notions active that particular theme. Prejudice is linked to discrimination but prejudice is an attitude whereas discrimination is the action associated with that attitude. (Prejudice 2001). Many times we dislike something or some unrivaled just because they look or act differently from us. A group that you are a part of is called your in -group. Ingroups powerfulness include gender, race, or city or state of residence, as well as groups you might intentionally join, like Kiwanis or a bowling league.A group that you do not identify with is called your outgroup. ( Feenstra, 2013) everyone belongs to a certain group and we all know who is in our group and those that do not fit in our groups. Most time adult do not realize when they in some manner out a person from in that location groups, but some do it intentionally. When we out a person from our group we really do not take the time to get to know or find out who they are, but we tend to pass judgment on them anyways. Stereotypes are beliefs about the characteristics of particular groups or members of those groups.( Feenstra, 2013) tidy sum tend to place into categories things and people, gathering them unitedly without learn who or what they are. For example that everyone that speaks Spanish is Mexican, when in reality there is a total of 21 Spanish country an d they do not all speak the same Spanish. When we stereotype people into groups, we form notion about them without getting to know there person, this sometime causing prejudice and discrimination against them.They not only reflect beliefs about the traits that characterize the normal member of a group but also contain information about other qualities, such as social roles, the degree to which members of the group share a quality, and emotional reactions. Stereotypes imply a substantial criterion of other information about a person besides what is this instant apparent and generate expectations about individual group members beyond the reliable situation ).One important time frame in the world would be the holocaust were the Jewish people were separated from other people because they were believed to be lower than the German and the cause of their problem lead them to scud and abuse the Jewish people as well as kill thousands of Jewish men woman and children. The people that suffer the most from prejudice and any form of discrimination are woman and children especially those sprightliness in third world country were at time it is the go down of wars. I have been lucky not have been affected by any form of prejudice or discrimination.But as a teen in high school there was always that one person that felt like stereotyping a few people to try to hurt them. Only thru education can we combat any form of stereotypes, discrimination and Prejudice. In conclusion stereotypes, discrimination and Prejudice has influence the way people think and act. It has been the cause of suffering to those effected, as well as the cause of war and separation. Prejudice is a form of ignorance it is a lack of knowledge, a lack of understanding toward others. Thru education and tolerances we can learn to acquire other no matter where they.

Crips and Bloods

The word-painting Crips and Bloods Made in America is about a cluster of neighborhoods in the heart of Southern California. It highlights immature African American men in two separate gangs called the Crips and the Bloods. The Crips atomic number 18 one of the oldest and largest gangs in the United States and the Bloods argon a street gang originating from Los Angeles, California. They have been involved in murders, robberies, and medicate dealing in the Los Angeles ara.The film interviews origin gang members Ron, Bird, and Kumasi, while assure their experiences growing up in the neighborhood in the 1950s and discussing the dangers of their earlier decisions. passim this movie, the director accurately demonstrated many social theories even so the labeling theory and the differential connective theory stand out in the film.Labeling theory examines the ascribing of a deviant behavior to another person by members of society (OpenStax College, 2013, n.p.). This theory applies to deviance situations, which is a violation that is a rein in made up by society. For example, a teenager who lives in an urban area frequented by gangs power be labeled as a gang member. Accordingly, the teenager might begin to behave like a gang member or become one (Chegg, 2018).This labeling theory possibly explains better why young black Americans fall into crime and execrable gangs and this theory is exemplified a number of different times during the movie. In the movie, young men were stopped by the police for no apparent reason. slow people were not even supposed to enter a uninfected neighborhood. And if they saw a young white twelve-year-old boy they were expected to joint yes or no sir.The black men did not feel as wanted or respected and caused them to do more(prenominal) wretched acts. ). Individuals that are arrested, punished or prosecuted are labeled as criminals and others view and divvy up the labeled individuals as criminals. And also the labeled people find it problematic to obtain any form of formal employment. This situation led them into medicine abuse and trafficking for the sake of raising money for their daily needs.Differential association theory is a theory that states individuals learn deviant behavior from those nearly to them who provide models of and opportunities for deviance (OpenStax College, 2013, n.p.). Simply Edwin Sutherlands this theory proposes that people learn attitudes, techniques, morals, and motives for criminal behavior through their interactions with others.For example, a child who grows up among professional thieves is more likely to learn to steal such a person might learn not only to regard stealing as delicious but also specific techniques for stealing. In this view, younger people are more likely to learn deviance than older people (Chegg, 2018).Throughout this whole movie, most of the former gang members are describing their reasons for joining a gang. For example, any of the African American children were not allowed to be admitted to any character reference of youth organizations. Even though a mother of a former gang member tried to sign her son up for boy scouts, he was also rejected. If they had let that boy sign up for the youth program that would have taken him out of gang-related activities and lives would have turned meridian down.

Ah, Are You Digging on My Grave

Ah, argon You take away on My Grave? was first off published in the Saturday refresh on September 27, 1913, then in Thomas stouts 1914 collection, satires of Circumstance Lyrics and Reveries with Miscellaneous Pieces. The metrical composition reflects robusts interest in death and events beyond everyday reality, nevertheless these subjects are presented jocosely, with a conceptive dose of irony and satire. This treatment is somewhat unusual for Hardy, who also produced a number of more serious numberss concerning death. In Ah, Are You turn over On My Grave? a deceased woman carries on a colloquy with an individual who is disturbing her grave site.The identity of this figure, the digger of the womans grave is unknown through the first half of the poem (Ruby 1). As the woman attempts to guess who the digger is, she reveals her desire to be remembered by divers(a) figures she was acquainted with when she was alive. In a series of ironic turns, the responses of the digger turn out that the womans acquaintances a loved one, family relatives, and a despised opposite nonplus all forsaken her memory board. Finally it is revealed that the digger is the womans dog, but the canine too, is unconcerned with his former mistress and is digging only so it can bury a bone.Though the poem contains a humorous tone, the picture Hardy paints is bleak. The bloodless are al almost completely eliminated from the memory of the living and do not enjoy any form of satisfaction This somber outlook is typical of Hardys verse, which often presented a skeptical and negative view of the human condition (Ruby 1). Hardy was born(p) in 1840 and raised in the region of Dorestshire, England, the basis for the Wessex countryside that would later have the appearance _or_ semblance in his fiction and poetry. He attended a local enlighten until he was sixteen, when his mother paid a lot of money for him to be apprenticed to an architect in Dorchester.In 1862 he moved to London, where he worked as an architect, remaining there for a period of five years. between 1865 and 1867 Hardy wrote many poems, none of which were published. In 1867 he returned to Dorchester and, while proceed to work in architecture, began to write novels in his spare time. Hardy became persuade that if he was to make a living writing, he would have to do so as a novelist (Ruby 2). Drawing on the way of life-time he absorbed in Dorsetshire as a youth and the replete(p) range of English writers with which he as familiar, Hardy spent intimately thirty years as a novelist before devoting himself to poetry.In 1874 Hardy married Emma Lavinia Gifford, who would become subject of many of his poems. They spent several years in happiness until the 1880s, when marital troubles began to shake the closeness of their union. Hardys first book of verse was published in 1898, when he was fifty-eight years old and had achieved a large degree of success as a novelist. Although his verse was not nearly as successful as his novels, Hardy continued to focus on his poetry and published vii more books of verse before his death, developing his confidence (Ruby2).With the composition of the Dynasts A Drama of the Napoleonic Wars (1904-08) an epic historical drama written in verse, Hardy was hailed as a major poet. He was praised as a master of his craft, and his writing was admired for its great emotional force and technical skill. Hardy continued to write until just before his death in 1928. Despite his wish to be buried with his family, influential sentiment for his entombment in Poets Corner of Westminster Abbey instigated a severe compromise the remotion of his heart, which was buried in Dorchester, and the cremation of his body, which was interred in the Abbey (Ruby 2).The structure of Ah, Are You Digging On My Grave? is a familiar one, although not one usually associated with poetry the antic. A situation is established and briefly developed, then the cowboy draw in turns everything on its head. In Hardys bitter joke a dead woman has high- flown expectations of the living her loved one willing remain forever faithful to her her family will continue to look afterwards her exactly as they did in life and even her enemys hatred will not wane. The poems punch line deflates her hopes and reveals them as vain and crackbrained.Hardy sets up his joke carefully, with a poets attention to the language he uses (Ruby 4). The atmosphere is set in the first two lines. A sigh from the grave seems to signal profound guess on morality and love. The phrasing of the two lines is almost self-consciously poetic. much(prenominal) language is maintained throughout the first three stanzas. Expressions like position rue, Deaths gin. The Gate that shuts on all flesh pose feeling that is heightened, more sensitive and authentic than every day, emotion (Ruby 4).They agitate a sense of tragedy and compassion in the reader, yet Hardy is merely setting us up for the punch line. They tone of the poems language begins begins to change in the fourth stanza. One barely notices it, so great is the readers surprise that it was a micro dog that was poeticizing all along. The first seeds of doubt have been planted this poem may not be exactly what it at first seemed. The dead woman recognizes the dogs voice and utters the article of faith she feels most deeply a dogs love outshines anything human (Ruby 4). But when the dog replies, the reader realizes that Hardy is up to something else.The poetry and sentimentality have vanished. The dogs voice is as ordinary and plainspoken as that of the Wessex country folk. He deflates her last hope so offhandedly and without formalism that its effect is brutal. At the same time the dead womans expectations about her lover, her family and enemy are portrayed as products of the same ridiculous sentimental outlook (Hardy 4). After coming to the end of Ah, Are You Digging on My Grave? the reader realizes that t he title would have been more unblemished even if less interesting if called, Oh No One Is Digging on My Grave. (Ruby 10).

Language and Communication Needs Essay

You argon one of the support workers for a ten year old sister who has training disabilities and compulsions support at school. The child has quarrel and communication makes. Describe the methods and strategies you great power handling to enable him to communicate with you.How to single-valued function particular(prenominal) methods of communication?Some children need particular serve well in cast to communicate and interact. Speech solely whitethorn be difficult for them and they may require special methods of communication. There are several of these and usually advice volition be given by a reference therapist in consultation with parents as to which one to using up and how to engage it. Over the other(prenominal) few years, the range of methods has increased and technology is increasingly being used. phonate simulation has, for example, meant that children can press a picture or case in a computer or handheld device and fuddle their enunciates heard. In the s ame itinerary, for children who find in hard to write, voice identification can put their countersigns into writing. Below are some examples of the methods that might be used. Visual governing bodysSome children need ocular cues in fellowship to make sense of phraseology. If the child you are working with uses a system of visual communication, you will need to spend time learning how to use it quickly and fluently. Picture representationsSome children benefit from using pictures to supplement communication. You may show a child a picture of an apron and at the same time narrate the account book so that the child knows that they need to get their apron. Picture exchange systemThis system, based on pictures, not only helps children to conceive the meaning of words but also help them to learn about the modal value in which communication is a dual-lane and a two-way process. The child takes and receives pictures and so learns how to interact. Sign representationsSome childre ns cognitive development is the reason why they find it hard to trounce and communicate. At first, babies learn about language through seeing the object that the adult is talking about at the same time as hearing the word. For example, an adult may point to a cat and say cat. The child than remembers the word and so eventually does not need the cat to be around to know what the word means. For some children, sounds alone are not enough and they need to have their language back up by signs. A common sigh system is Makaton. It helps children link the word to an action or object and so is easier for them to project. Makaton is not a language in itself but a tool to help language. It is important not to confuse Makaton with British sigh language, which is not used for the same purpose. British sign languageBritish sign language is an alternative pretend of communication. It is a comp allowe language and is used instead of speech. Users if sign language do not have learning difficul ties. Most users have substantial hearing loss and so need a different way of communicating.Music can be an incredibly effective therapeutic and educational medium for young children and individuals with special needs. Singing can stimulate ontogeny in many areas of a childs development and in several areas simultaneously.

Encourage other children to face the child so that it is easier for them to hear. Use pictures or signs to help children to communicate with each other. Plan games in which action is more important than hearing or talk.Useful s trategiesTry to speak in clear, short, simple sentences simplify instructions support speech with visual prompts, signs or gestures use pictures/symbols to aid understanding ensure prompt referral to a speech and language therapist, or the provision of specialiser speech and language encumbrance within the educational setting encourage regular, constant reinforcement of skills introduced at speech and language sessions.Strategies for or those with language impairment/delayIt helps to use simple sentences and instructions, reinforcing key words ask a child to make known you in their own words what they have been asked to do reinforce learning by repeating answers (from the child or others) encourage good auditory modality encouraging the child to (learn to) read use visual timetables/prompts gestures, signing eg Makaton or written instructions to reinforce the spoken word provide visual clues, dont just talk about a cylinder, let them see it, feel it, puzzle out with it, find di fferent cylinders teach word association skills teach the nuances of language, meanings of jokes, idioms, body language, facial expressions etc make use of books, share play, drama, singing, social stories to explain social situations and develop social skills and understanding play games that encourage listening and/or social skills plan the careful use of computers and ICT to facilitate learning.Types of disordersSpeech disordersSpeech disorders involve difficulties producing speech sounds or problems with voice select. They might be characterised by an interruption in the flow or rhythm of speech, such as stuttering (which is called dysfluency). Speech disorders include problems with articulation (the way sounds are formed), or phonological disorders, or difficulties with the pitch, volume or quality of the voice. There may be a combination of several problems. Experiencing fuss with some speech sounds may be a symptom of a delay, or of a hearing impairment. It can be difficul t to understand what someone with a speech disorder is trying to say. speech communication disordersLanguage disorder is an impairment in the ability to understand and/or use words in context, both verbally and non-verbally. Characteristics of language disorders include improper use of words and their meanings, problems with sentence structure, inappropriate grammatical patterns, reduced phrase and inability to express ideas, or follow directions.

Navajo’s Resistance on Education

on that point are galore(postnominal) expressive styles to draw the word resistance. One agency that the Standard College Dictionary defines it as To progress to against the act of resistance act counter to for the purpose of stopping, preventing, defeating, etc. Thats how the dictionary defines it. Personally, my definition of resistance is the act of be against somebodys orders, rules, or demands. The reason why we resist some of these orders, rules, or demands is because our belief, morals, and morality come into play. The way that we were brought up plays a big role in our ability of making our stimulate decisions.If we were brought up one way, and soul tries to upshot us to become someone else, or to mold us into some intimacy else, we would non feel right. Due to the fact that we grew attached to m whatever stems, beliefs and religion. The only innate(p) thing to do is to refuse to give in to the thinker of spay. Its a basic and a natural instinct. Thats exactl y what the Navajos carried out. The Navajos spurned the idea of world force to become civilized, even after being put into the Bosque Redondo Camp.The only thing to do now was to survive and by all means refuse to accept the idea of becoming civilized. in that location were several activities that the Navajos executed bit they remained at the camps which showed there resistance against the ideas of world(a) Carleton of forcing them to become civilized. One of the activities that the Navajos resisted against was the idea of s destructioning their children to school and birth educated. To the Navajos it seemed corresponding a good idea, unless they had other things in mind. Such as worrying how are they going to gather the next meal to contri scarcee their families? They were living in the worst conditions imaginable. No food, shelter, or unnecessary fall by the wayside of clothes. They were very venerable to the conditions they were put in.For those reasons many of them go t sick and eventually by away. But they did consider the advantages of the discipline program. Most of them took advantage of the opportunities given. Thinking nigh endurance, they took such training in Carpentry, leatherworking, and blacksmithing (Osburn, The Navajos at The Bosque Redondo Cooperation, Resistance, and Initiative, 159). These programs are very reusable only when the resources are available. When realizing that the resources were non available, they changed their priorities. Education was the very last thing on their list. Their primary priority was to find a way to get food and survive.As the Osburn states, Yet the Indians claimed they were not opposed to education they were scarce more absorbed with the immediate concern of daily survival and considered the benefits of education to be peripheral to more urgent matters, such as obtaining copious food to fend off starvation. Their attempt to procure money and extra ration coupons for sending their children to school demonstrates the Indians shrewd survival strategy(159). The Navajos utilize simple and obvious strategies rightful(prenominal) to point a hot. Its very oft like if your stranded in an island, away from civilization.Your first instinct is not to worry about your make-up or your clothes. The first thing you restrain to worry about is how are you going to survive. Which eventually leads you to sub categories as food, shelter, clothes, etc. Its easy to say, exclusively it is hard to do. The Navajos had to lowgo many obstacles. When they realized that they were not getting enough coupons for food, and forging them wasnt enough, they had to mesh drastic measures. Many of the Navajo women had to do things that were against their religion and their morals. The very last apply had to be receiven, which eventually brought shame to the Navajo folk music and families.Many of the woman fantasy that the only way to attain extra food was prostitution. Osburn states, Another sy stem of obtaining extra food was prostitution, which was not a standard practice under less stressful conditions. Navajo women were generally considered to be modest and decent originally and after the Bosque Redondo years While the Navajo recognized the degradation of prostitution at Fort Sumner, they also indicated that the women were compelled to set aside their moral prescription because of want and hunger(159). Anybody would set aside his or her morals exclusively to stay alive. Even if it means to kill someone just to gather food.Its like Darwins theory Survival of the Fittest. The weak stack weary and the strong survive. It takes valor to do something drastic like this. That is why I respect them so much. It makes people think of just the things we are commensurate of achieving if we just put our morals aside for awhile, and think about survival when put in a aquared situation and are forced to take extreme measures. Another natural process that the Navajos resisted was the idea of barrack housing. Forcing them to start a new life as civilized people and living in a civilized community, the Navajos rejected the idea of living somewhere else that wasnt their homeland.As the article states, Carleton had originally planned to house the Navajo in neatly ordered barracks analogous to the type of housing effectuate in Pueblo villages. The Navajos, however, found this scheme unacceptable because their traditional housing was widely dispersed. Furthermore, they rejected the idea notion of permanent homes because of their beliefs about departed souls(160). Lots of people wouldnt mind starting off fresh and living in a house that was given to them. The reason being because he or she support had bad experiences in their past home and life.They are ready for a change. However, it wasnt like that for the Navajos. They were already customed to the surrounding in which they were living originally the white people took them out of their homeland. Its like th ey stated, The custom of our tribe is neer to enter a house where a person has died, but abandon it. Assuming that the past owners of the houses were probably killed, they rejected Carltons plan. not only because they considerd it was bad luck to enter someone elses house, but also because they were being put in an environment that they have never been exposed to.People find themselves very venerable if they have no control of the surroundings in which they are being put into. actually much like a parakeet in a cage. For years, a parakeet depends on its owner to give him food. What if the cages door was left open and the parakeet escapes or was left to be free. How would it live in the wild, without having the necessary skills to survive? Knowing that there is a caustic world just outside that cage, the parakeet takes his or her chances. Most of them end up finding a way to survive yet, many of them just die of hunger because they couldnt gather food. Its exactly the way that the Navajos felt.The Navajos have already been customed to the surroundings of their homeland and were not prepared when they were being put into camps or the houses that were provided for them. They had no control over the resources that were provided, if they were any. They harvested many crops, but no luck. It wasnt enough for everyone. Very much like the parakeets, they rapacious and died. If they did live through starvation, many of them were exposed to disease, which eventually killed them little by little. Knowing that the Navajos were sick, they never took advantage of the clinics or medicine that was provided for them.The last activity that the Navajos refuse to accept was the idea of getting medical attention. The refusal of Anglo medical treatment. For similar reasons the Navajos refused medical treatment and the post hospitals. The Indians explained that they shunned the hospital because all that have describe there have died(160). When the Navajos noticed that many Indians were dying, the realized that the white people had to do something with it. Perhaps they believed that they were being slaughtered and killed. Not only that, but the Navajos didnt want to be exposed the white medicine.They had their own ways of solidifying their sickness. Very much like people nowadays. Many of them do not believe in juvenile medicine and have their own way of curing themselves. For the Navajos, the only way to cure themselves and to purify their body without any modern medicine was to perform a traditional dance called Squaw Dance. They had their own views on how they believed they got sick. According to this ceremony some sicknesses are the result of the ghosts of aliens, either those whom a Navajo warrior has killed or those who died from other causes and with whom the Navajo whitethorn have had contact, sexual or otherwise.Touching the corpse or stepping on the grave of an outsider may also cause alien ghosts to torment a Navajo with sickness (160). git every culture, there are many reasons why they perform or do different things to get themselves better instead of using modern medicine. For example, In the Navajos world view, illness is an example of disharmony in the cosmic order that the performance of a religious ceremony can correct. During the ceremony, the Navajo entreat their Holy People to rectify the disturbance or order.If the ritual is in good order carried out, the deities are obligated to grant the mortals requests, for a principle of reciprocity governs the exchange. In this regard, Navajo oral tradition emphasizes the importance of healing ritual at the Bosque (160). Nowadays, everyone grew up with an idea on how to get rid of an illness without the use of medicine. For instance, if someone has a nosebleed how do you stop it? Many people believe that lying down is one way, others to pour water over your show and pinch your nose with a wet towel and remain standing. Theres not an exact way.Probably all of them work. Its just that most of us have been custom to one of these methods, and will not use any other one. Its just the way we were brought up. Likewise, the Navajos didnt want to try nothing new. Their beliefs and morals dont exit it. The only thing left to do is to pursue your values and principles. The Navajos struggle for survival depended not only on resistance by their part but also the strategies that they used to attain it. Their primary objective lens was to survive. They accomplished this by many patterns, but one of those patterns stands out the most.The idea of resistance. They resisted formal education, barrack housing, and Anglo medical treatment. By refusing these ideas, many of them had to perform such tasks that would bring shame, not only to them but to their families too, just to survive. Many women became prostitutes, while others Navajos forged coupons, raided the camps but also fleeing from them, and performed ceremonies for spiritual cleansing. All of these activities played a big role in trying to change the way the Navajos lived their lives.Forcing someone to change, or to mold them in something they are not, will result in confrontation. That is why the experiment at Bosque Redondo failed to work. Gen. Carlton forced the Navajos to become civilized against their will, and in return was confronted and his ideas were retaliated. It was the only way that the Navajos could prevent the white people from forcing them to change their lifestyle, morals, beliefs, and tradition. So in conclusion, the Navajos actions can be considered resistance, due to the evidence provided.

There are so many uses for the word and it may be used as a form to explain more in-depth in a contract, so that there is no confusion, or questions asked in what was meant by in a statement. Conditioned is defined in a collision as a future uncertained event that creates or destroys rights and obligations.

Discipline Versus Child Abuse

Discipline versus Child Abuse Tiara Loving February 2, 2011 sorry Justice 100 Homework Assignment 1 Is there such a thing as too more than discipline? How out-of-the- sort(prenominal) erect a person go with discipline before it turns into chela outcry? How do a person know if they ar perform nestling abuse? These are the three main questions that raise a debate when the subjects discipline and fry abuse are put in unity sentence. What some people magnate call discipline others may maintain is tike abuse. Gaining the knowledge and education of what is right and what is wrong is the constitute to preventing discipline from becoming tyke abuse.As stated in the Ameri piece of tail hereditary pattern College Dictionary, discipline is delineate as training judge to produce a specific font or pattern of behavior. Child abuse is defined as mistreatment of a boor by a upraise or guardian, including neglect, beating, and sexual molestation on dictionary. com. Unfortuna tely, a grow or guardian training a kid to produce a specific character or pattern behavior may lead to mistreating or neglecting a child unintentionally. It is legal to spank a child nevertheless it is in addition illegal to beat them.Spanking a child may be considered as light licks on the legs or bottom. Beating a child may consist of bruising or drawing blood. besides what works for one child might not be some(prenominal) good for the other. bingle child can learn a lesson from a spanking but if a elicit spanks the other child, it might not have an effect on him at all. That is when alternatives amaze in. Either way a parent decides to vindicate that child, that parents point pull up stakes be made or that child go forth have erudite a lesson. thither is nothing wrong with disciplining a child for doing something he was not supposed to have done.Punishing a child will set as a warning to let that child know that if he ever did something bad again, there will be a c onsequence. There are many ways to discipline a child without playacting child abuse. For example, if a child is at school and acts inappropriate towards his peers or the seeer, he can be large(p) a spanking, a timeout or some of his privileges can be taken away from him. That child might think the parent is being mean or obnoxious, but that broad(a) time that parent is really showing how much they love and tutorship for that child. As a kid, I would get into trouble a lot.Of caterpillar track there would be a consequence, and a few words that came on with it. I will never forget the words my mother tell to me as I received my spanking I am further doing this because I love you and I indispensableness you to do what is right no matter what the situation is. If I do not whip you, you will continue to do the same thing, so I have to teach you a lesson. As I got older, I realized that she really cared. I felt that I did not want to embarrass her or myself any longer and that is when I decided that I was passage to do what was expected of me.Parents have the right to lead their kids by example but they essential do it the right way. On the other hand, damaging a childs self-esteem, self confidence and making him olfactory sensation unloved or wanted is considered to be child abuse. Why would a parent want to see their child suffer, especially without any cause? If a parent does not want another person or child harming their child intentionally, then why would that parent commit abuse? There are many examples of child abuse but I decided to argue the issue on one example. A woman just prime out that she has gotten pregnant.The pregnancy was unplanned and the babys father does not want to be a part of that new life, but she decides to carry the child. When the baby arrives, the woman is frustrated because she realizes she cannot take care of herself and the baby mentally, physically, emotionally or financially. The woman now decides to take her ange r and frustrations out on the child and that is where the abuse comes in because she does not know what else to do. Sometimes not disciplining a child can be considered child abuse as well.Everyone knows that a parent has to let a child be child. But when a parent lets the child get away with things a low too much, it is time to let that child know that enough is enough. Since that child notions that he has not been stopped before, he has the right to continue to do what he pleases. The parent needs to tell the child that they are the heavy(p) and he is the child will definitely set the boundaries. The parent is passage to ruin that child if they let him into the world thinking that he can do what he please.That is the first step to abusing that child and others are going to do the same if do not step in to engineer him. The parent has to learn to say NO every once in a while so the child can get use to hearing that word. The parent has to know that they cannot be their childs surpass friend and the child has to abide by their rules. If a parent does not start at home by forcing the rules upon the child, then they are giving the world permission to keep the abuse up. Again, the three main questions come to mind. Is there such a thing as too much discipline?How far can you go with discipline before it turns into child abuse? How do you know if you are performing child abuse? A parent might feel that no one can tell them how to raise their child. So they may feel the need to punish the child however they want. The parent says it is discipline. The outside world might say it is child abuse if they see a child is being maltreated in a way that they feel that is not right. A parent might have their own personal reasons to why they punish their child the way they do.Maybe it is disciplinethen again it may be child abuse. There are people out in the world that feel that they can care for a child better than that childs parent. Sometimes those people are eager to take that child that they feel are being abused away from that parent. I would tell those parents to ingest a more logical way of what they do to their child and how they do it. However a parent decides to punish their child is on them. The parent just need be careful of how they do it because they might not have their child any longeror even worse, thrown and twisted in jail
