- 681: Affliction
- ... and tells Wade and Margie that she is coming. Unwilling to wait, Wade goes upstairs and finds his mother frozen to death. At this point in the movie you begin to understand the kind of abuse that had been enforced on the Whitehouse family by Glenn Whitehouse (James Colburn). Glenn Whitehouse portrayed by James Colburn was very well acted. The use of the whiskey bottle as a symbol was well thought ... death turned out to be an actual accident, and the conspiracy within that small New Hampshire town was in fact a fantasy within Wade Whitehouse’s imagination. In conclusion, we can ask if Wade’s abuse as a child really happened. After all Wade was the only one having flash backs about his childhood. What really got my attention was the scene after Wade and Rolfe’s mother died. The two brothers were ...
- 682: Society's Problems and My Role In Helping It
- ... decreasing the class size at the grade school level. Children who are neglected at home need the assurance and support of their teacher. The teacher cannot possibly do that for thirty-five students. A young child's mind is a blank slate and can be influenced very easily. It is very important that the child is instilled with proper values and strong sense of confidence in himself. That is why the school has to get to the child before the local drug dealers can corrupt him. I also feel that more money needs to be spent on the educational growth of the child from kindergarten through college. Teaching is, in my estimation, ...
- 683: Nightjohn And Number The Stars
- ... soul. I really don't think the intended audiences would understand Nightjohn. Just to give you an example, the language in the book gave me trouble at first and I am a teenager, not a child. However, I feel this book would be a great way for the young reader to get a glimpse of what it was like for children their age, in those days. In particular, children can reflect on the life of African children who had been taken from their homeland and brought to work the fields of America and the abuse and torture they were made to suffer. Number the Stars on the other hand, was expertly written for the younger child. It seemed all too real. For example, in the beginning, Annemarie and Ellen were running down the street and were stopped and scolded by a soldier. That is an exact example of what kids ...
- 684: An Argument for the Legalization of Drugs, Based on John Stuart Mills' "Revised Harm Principle"
- ... would be intervening with its citizens' lives in a benevolent manner (and only when asked) rather than in a forceful, punitive way. Many opponents to legalization point out that drug use leads to spousal and child abuse, random criminal acts precipitated by the effects of drugs on a user's inhibitions, and crimes committed to support drug habits. This argument is fundamentally defective because it addresses the abuse of drugs, which is not the issue here. When an individual's use of drugs leads him to harm others, it becomes a behavioral problem. That is, the issue is no longer drugs, but ...
- 685: Contemporary Thinkers: Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aguinas
- ... Greek city-states at Chaeronea ended an era of Greek history. Neither Sparta, Athens, nor any other city-state had proved capable of uniting Greece under its leadership. Intense mutual jealousies, sharpened by the egoistic abuse each polis dealt the others whenever circumstances permitted, made unity a hopeless dream. Question #2 : Please compare and contrast the political thought of Plato and Aristotle, in particular their competing conceptions of an ideal polity ... depend on others for help, and the needy person will never do anything for himself. Look at it this way : two children, each brought up in different households are brought up in two distinct ways. Child A is given everything he wants and never has to do anything for himself. Child B is brought up with the idea that if he wants something, he must work for it. Child B will appreciate things more because his hard work shows results, while child A thinks that ...
- 686: Hero Worship
- ... have saved the lives of the children loaded on the school bus by preventing the bus from careening out of control. Because of the unusual circumstances of this incident, the media rightly focused on this child as a hero. Many other forms of heroism do not fit this very succinct definition. The school teacher who has the rare ability to turn students around and prevent them from throwing their lives away is one example. Another example is the counselor who spends extra time and transforms a drug addict into a useful person in society. The doctor, who has the courage to stand up and yell child abuse when others are silent, is another case. The people in these three examples all have one thing in common; they may have saved a person's life. The student who does not study and ...
- 687: The Case For Capital Punishmen
- ... taking of an innocent life is an unforgivable act, and that the rape of children is particularly heinous. I will argue that all persons convicted of the crime of murder or the rape of a child under ten years of age should be given a manditory death penalty. Capital punishment is not only justifiable but is morally correct and should be the mandatory sentence for such crimes once an individual is ... nor immoral to execute such an individual. It is not logical or rational to believe that a person raised in our society does not know that the crimes of murder or the rape of a child will not be tolerated. Regardless of an individual’s background or socio-economic status, individual choices lead to results that carry personal responsibility. It is inappropriate to make excuses for these criminals simply because they were not reared in well-to-do circumstances. neglected, or perhaps suffered abuse as a child. None of these forced them to make the choice to commit the crime. As stated by Ernest van den Haag, "by committing the crime, the criminal volunteered to assume the risk." ( ...
- 688: Who Is Free To Choose
- ... but censoring the Internet is the last route to solving the problem. If anything, the much-disputed cases on pornography influence children more than the Internet itself. We see television reports all the time involving child pornography and Internet pornography on the news. So, in affect, should not television reports on these stories also be censored from children who might see them? If a child really wants to, he or she can find a pornographic site, but the child must make a choice to what they are going to look at. There are not really any cases where a child accidentally goes to pornographic site. A child does not get linked to a ...
- 689: A Study of B.F. Skinner and Behaviorism
- ... 398). Positive reinforcement, as well as, negative reinforcement are not only eliminators of inappropriate behavior. Punishment does not teach appropriate behaviors it can only decrease the frequency of undesired ones. "Rather than simply punish a child for hitting another student, it is better to help the child learn alternative ways to deal with frustrating situations" (Burger, 1997, p. 398). One very simple way of explaining this concept is this: "A child may learn to beg for candy. There is no one stimulus that elicits the response of begging. The child begs because such behavior occasionally results in receiving candy. Every time the child receives candy, ...
