- 841: Teaching Kids
- ... reclaim this responsibility and become the primary educators and mentors in their children's lives. If parents make time to teach their children right from wrong, then there is no better way to raise a child with a strong set of values. The most effective way of teaching kids about values and morals is by example. Children will simply learn by observing and following their parents. This means that when parents ... children in preparation for the real world. So when parents aren't there to stop their children from watching excessive violence on television or to point out the evils and consequences of drug and alcohol abuse, this is when problems arise. If parents haven't explained the issues of race and religion in society, how are children supposed to react when they encounter people who are different from themselves? Our society ... the rest of their lives. The evidence of the lack of morals and values in our children today is clear. The number of teens involved in gang violence, teen pregnancy, and illegal drug and substance abuse has been on the rise for years and is a direct result of what can happen when children aren't raised with a clear picture of morally right and wrong.

Here "fathers are as wards to the sons" and old men "Crawl towards death" like newborn babes. This is the aging cycle. It's cyclic images show us King Lear reduced to the role of child, helpless and dependent on his two wicked daughters. Then as now, when Lear, the symbol for the oldest generation, gives his power to his daughters (the younger generation) they immediately begin to treat him as if he were the child and they the parents. Within the first month of his decision, Goneril has begun to refer to him as being in his "dotage", that "old fools are babes again" Regan, too after receiving her ...

- ... this time”(Ferris, 231). One of the best composer of this time was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In this paper I will go through his childhood, his friends and family, and of course his music. Enjoy!!! Child of the Enlightenment The world that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart entered ceremoniously in 1756 was brimming in change. Historians refer to this era as the Age of Enlightenment, one of unparalleled scientific, philosophical, and political ferment ... the 12-year- old looks like a spinster of seventy—complete with budding double chin. Wolfgang, too, looks far older than his 7 years, and controls the action from his place at its center. The Child Prodigy Indeed, Mozart marks the beginning of the Western fascination with the child prodigy. Dressed in the festive outfit given Wolfgang in 1762 by the Empress Maria Theresa, this boy of not quite seven years old looks, for all the world, like a miniature adult who has ...
- 844: Teenage Pregnancy 2
- ... Pregnancy As her baby is screaming, seventeen year-old Annette wonders what they are going to eat for dinner tonight. It is the end of the month and her welfare check has run out.

The United States has ... are unmarried when they give birth, and that is including two-thirds of all teenage mothers (DiConsiglio, p10). Our nation's government can only offer help in this major problem by fathering the mother and child with a welfare check each month. The problem still does not become resolved, and the government continues to fork over our money to the young families. Next, to even begin to come up with a ... references and innuendos per year on television, and only 150 of them refer to responsible sex, contraceptive use, and abstinence (Palar, p48). It is also alarming to know that by the time the average American child enters first grade, they have watched more than 5,000 hours of television, and that excludes any television watched during the first two years of life (Rosemond, p46). At this rate, by the time ...

- ... belongs more to her than vice-versa. It is also ironic that Joe be the one that seems to be stuck in tough situation in his marraige. Often, in this time, women suffered from the abuse of their husbands and expected to keep the marriage together regardless. However, Joe is clearly the one being abused in this story and he also is the only one decent enough to care enough about the marraige to try and keep it together by enduring the abuse of Mrs. Joe. Fifth, through love, Joe shows the audience that truly he is not just a very timid man but a whole-hearted man. Truly, it takes a loving man to stay in love with such a woman as Mrs. Joe. No kissing ever took place between Joe and Mrs. Joe (much less child birth), and it becomes clear to the reader that the relationship between Joe and Mrs. Joe is a very "one-way" relationship. It would seem that Joe cares enough for Mrs. Joe, though Mrs. ...

He started stealing cars to make the money necessary to support his new family. By the time the ...

- ... much more than it normally would be to someone of "normal" size. In some cases, such as this, speed of deployment can seriously injure the passenger, especially if the passenger is a small female or child in the front seat closer to the dash. This phenomenon is responsible for the majority of air bag related deaths, and is the most difficult problem to solve. Another problem with current airbag systems is ... Sharp) To put this in prospective, when a large group of Americans were surveyed and asked the question "Based on what you know or have heard, how likely is it that a(n) [adult/small child] sitting in the front seat would be injured be an air bag when it opens normally?" The results of this question produced a 54 percent return saying that it is very likely that a child would be injured.

- 849: The Importance Of Moral Values
- ... The behavior of children in this society proves that my question is hardly even a subject of importance. Today, the violence and crimes in this nation mostly occur when a troubled teen or a fragile child cannot handle the pressure and stress of reality. The influential factor of violence spreads so easily; a child finds this influence simply by turning the television set on. In fact, any news channel disappointly shows the actions of teenagers committing the violent act of murder without any remorse. All of this animosity and chaos within children begin with not knowing the difference between right and wrong. The positive influence of reiligion, education, and peers greatly effect a child's manner and behavior pattern. Traditional values and important lessons from these sources certainly help a child to understand the distinction between the right and wrong choices in life. An important value for children ...
- 850: Abortions
- Abortions should be illegal if you are going to go out and have unprotected sex, then you should be willing to take responsibility for your actions. The unborn child that is conceived has done no wrong and shouldn't have to suffer because of the mothers actions. Women shouldn't have a "right" to kill their preborn child. The word "choice" shouldn't be used in regard to abortions, since killing a preborn child offers the child no choice at all. If you think about it nearly 30 million preborn children have been slaughter in their mother's wombs. Millions of women have been traumatized both mentally and ...
