- ... bothersome and helpless she is. The reader is told that she feels herself a burden on John and the rest of the household. It is also learned for the first time that she has a child, but only in passing. She simply states, It is fortunate Mary is so good with the baby. Such a dear baby! (426). There are no other implications of having a child before this, nor are there any in the rest of this entry, striking the reader as odd that a mother would not have any concern for or interaction with her own child. It is also apparent that her focus has shifted primarily to the wallpaper, and her feelings about it have intensified. She calls the paper atrocious and horrid , and begins giving it a life of ...
- 1913: Family Values
- ... home to guide me through good family values. Now that I am an adult my parents are persistent to spend time with me and teach me values not taught to me when I was a child. I believe it's like teaching an old dog new tricks. A child needs direction from the childhood up to adulthood not the reverse. I recall coming home from school to an empty house. My parents were working to provide us with a home, things we needed and wanted. Regardless, as a child a family was just as important. A popular soul singer, Luther Vandross, sang a song whose lyrics explained about objects in a house that were still the same, but a house was not a ...
- 1914: The Effect of Viewing Television Violence on Childhood Aggression
- ... life person receiving an act of aggression. Another problem is he only used adults as models. He should have also used children.

I feel Bandura was on the right track in his last experiment when he determined other factors were involved, but he failed to follow up on this question ... It is a debate that continues today. The best possible answer I can come up with is that the causation is bi- directional. Also, it is pertinent to many intervening factors. Aggression levels of the child to begin with and their home environment play a big role in determining aggressive tendencies. I think the best way to test for a causal relationship is a well documented longitudinal study. The subjects must ... Abnormal and Social Psychology, 67, 601-607. Eron, L.D. (1963).

- 1915: Animal Rights
- ... we feel about the facts. Animal research, test, and use has taken humanity a long way, with its advances in medicine and as a major source of food, but it is not morally correct to abuse, test, use, and ultimately kill the animals unnecessarily, especially for our comforts, luxuries, and greed. Many benefits have been obtained through animals, mostly in the field of Medicine. The medical world has rapidly moved forward ... being a majorsource for the basic nutrition. Unfortunately, some research has gone too far, putting many animals through unnecessary pain. According to Jean Bethke Elshtain, a Centennial Professor of Political Science at Vanderbilt University, the abuse that animals go through is intolerable. Monkeys are dipped in boiling water and pigs are burnt, without any type of painkillers to see how they react to third degree burns. Even more horrifying is the ... many things that are done now wouldnot be able to be accomplished. But how far are we willing to go for thesake of medicine, technology, comforts, luxuries and looks? Is all theseworth the death and abuse of millions of animals? The answer is no.

But I see my grandmother ... thought that she didnt have to kill her son to take something away from her evil husband. I think that I acted this way because I was raised in America.

In America you ...
- 1917: The Problem Of Personal Identi
- ... essay written by John Perry called Will Tommy Vladek Survive? Perry presents a very controversial topic. In this story Tommy Vladek is considered brain dead but his body is still totally functional. There is another child in the story who has had an accident, and his body is completely destroyed. The child s body that is completely destroyed still has perfect brain function, and the doctors can put his brain into Tommy s body.

All throughout my life I have heard welfare is bad and people on welfare have 6.9 children, etc. However, in reality people on welfare do not abuse it and really need the funding. The government is not over spending on it either, it is just all about the way the media has covered the welfare topic over the last ten or so ...
