- 941: Feminism And Gender Equality I
- ... country where they know "what life is all about." (See Endnote #1) I have often consulted my grandparents about their experiences, and I find their historical perspective enlightening. My grandmother was pregnant with her third child in 1949. Her work experience included: interior design and modeling women's clothes for the Sears catalog. I asked her to read the Friedan essay and let me know if she felt as moved as ... a mother. Justice Blackmun delivered the following opinion: Maternity, or additional offspring, may force upon the woman a distressful life and future. Psychological harm may be imminent. Mental and physical health may be taxed by child care. There is also a distress, for all concerned, associated with the unwanted child, and there is the problem of bringing a child into a family already unable, psychologically and otherwise, to care for it. In other cases, as in this one, the additional difficulties and continuing stigma ...
- 942: Cystic Fibrosis
- ... are related to the salt imbalance caused by the basic genetic defect (Drake, 1995). Fig. 1.1 This chart represents the offspring of two parents who are CF carriers. The completely filled symbol represents a child with CF; The half-filled symbols represent carriers (Hopkin, 1998). Allison Kay Brannon, a cystic fibrosis sufferer, was the 1975 National Poster Child for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. In the United States, four children a day are diagnosed with the disease (Silverstein, 1994). References dating back to the 1600s describe children who probably had CF. But doctors did ... has the same disease as them and is still alive after 40 years of having the disease. Today there are many new and different methods of testing to find the diagnosis of CF in a child. The test known by many as the sweat test which was found by P.A. DiSant'Agnese in the 1950s remains the quickest and most accurate means of making a diagnosis of CF. The ...
- 943: RAP CENORSHIP
- ... in either direction would require an independent study. None of these music-related claims have been popularly accepted, largely due to the difficulty in providing tangible proof. Instances of Satanism have been attributed to drug abuse rather than music (Epstein 1990). Congressional subcommittee hearings of 1955 trying to associate rock music with juvenile delinquency were unsuccessful, as were the 1973 "Buckley report" on rock music and drug abuse and the 1985 senate hearings on obscenity in popular music (Epstein 1990). The 1970 Commission on Obscenity and Pornography (C.O.P.) report asserted that "it is obviously not possible, and never could be possible ... delicate, sublime country (Zappa 1988). Explicit sex, violence, pain, suffering, and unusual human acts are characteristics of the human drama. Lyrical content is now censored when relating to "...explicit sex, explicit violence, or explicit substance abuse" (Baker 1989). Sexual acts, in particular, are commonly accepted in our society, but the language that denotes these acts is not. Perhaps it is the actual acts that the censors wish to curb, especially ...
- 944: Cartoon Violence
- ... cars hit people, many times the get hurt very badly. Before one can understand how harmful cartoon violence can be to children, one must understand how easily children are exposed to cartoon violence. The average child spends twenty-eight hours each week watching television, and fifty-four percent of children have televisions in their bedrooms (Huesmann and Eron 13). These facts alone set the stage for exposure. Also, almost half of ... children act aggressively, cartoon violence has other negative effects. A study done in 1974 concluded that seeing violence on television, including in cartoons, might lead children to accept more aggressive behavior in others. So, a child may accept that the school bully beats him up every day because he saw a child get beat up by a bully in a cartoon. Also, cartoon violence may make children fearful that the real world is as violent as it is in cartoons (15). Do we want America's ...
- 945: Clubfoot
- ... little closer to normal. For the first two-three weeks, the casts are changed every second to fourth day. Cast changes are then decreased to once every one-two weeks. This treatment continues until the child is three to six months old. This method of treatment is distressing to the infant for only a short period of time. For this reason parents will be taught cast care before leaving the clinic ... it will need to be maintained with a splint. The most common type of splint is the Dennis Brown boot and bar. Initially the splint must be worn twenty four hours a day. As the child learns to walk, the time in the splint is gradually reduced to nighttime use only. This could continue until the child is four or five years old. Physical therapy is also used to treat a child with clubfoot. It includes stretching, splinting, taping, monitoring casts, and teaching the parents how to help and motivate the ...
- 946: Ernest Hemmingway
- ... that Hemingway's romance was short-lived, while, the book seemed to indicate that, Henry's romance, though they never married, was strong and would have lasted. In A Farewell to Arms, Catherine and her child died while she was giving birth, this was not the case with Agnes who left Henry for an Italian Army officer. It seems to me that the differences between the two men were only surface ... to expose his life to everyone, and so the slight changes would prove that it was not himself and his own experiences which he was writing about. I believe that Hemingway had Catherine and her child die, not to look different from his own life, but because he had a sick and morbid personality. There is great power in being an author, you can make things happen which do not necessarily occur in real life. It is obvious that Hemingway felt, as a young child and throughout his life, powerless, and so he created lives by writing stories. Hemingway acted out his feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness by hunting, drinking, spending lots of money and having many girlfriends. I ...
- 947: The Intentional Death Of Franc
- ... a very small role in the story (e.g., the gun-bearers). For example, (p 250). By means of a combination of this type of information, Francis Macomber's character is changed due to constant abuse from other characters, an inner struggle with fear and embarrassment, and, eventually, by hatred- a deep hatred for Mr. Wilson and a somewhat quieter hatred for Margaret Macomber. An initial cause in the final changes of Francis' personality can be attributed to the constant abuse suffered at the hands of his wife, and, briefly, by Mr. WilsonFor example, in p 259. Francis and Margaret have obviously reached a point of stagnation- stagnation in their feelings for each other and stagnation ... demonstrates cowardice without fear of remorse from his wife. However, it is the remorse that he himself, deep inside, feels, that begins to turn Mr. Macomber around. Additionally, Mr. Wilson also contributes to this compounding abuse. Even though, for the most part, Mr. Wilson's feelings are perceivably kept within the confines of his own mind, the effects of these thoughts still exists. To illustrate, in p 54, Mr. Wilson ...
- 948: How America Should React To Ho
- ... the homosexuals and where do they belong in our society? First of all, it is important to realize that homosexuals are an integral part of our society. Your neighbor, your co-worker, your hairdresser, your child and even your spouse can be one of them. According to Richard D. Mohr "[t]wo out of five men one passes on the street have had orgasmic sex with men. Every second family in ... heterosexual take for granted. We have to admit that some steps have been made to protect homosexuals. However, many government and public institutions and individuals still discriminate against homosexuals denying them employment, housing, insurance, marriage, child’s custody and so on. Why is it allowed to discriminate against people who have different sexual orientation? Some may put forward arguments that being gay is immoral, that it is illegal, that it is ... pedophillia, for example. Here it is important to notice, that for one, pedophillia is not necessary a homosexual act. Secondly, it is immoral and unlawful because one of the partners in this case is a child or a teenager who more often than not has no other choice than to yield to the power of the adult. As Joseph Geraci and Donald H. Mader point out "the power imbalance between ...
- 949: Why I Want to Be a Teacher
- ... the math problem it was if a light went on. There eyes would light up some would even jump up and down in there seats it would make my heart pound with excitement for the child. There is nothing more satisfying then to see a child who wants to learn and to be the one to help him/her reach that goal. I really want to be able to teach the Special Student, the students that many teachers give up on or they get lost in the black hole of the system. I have dealt with many Special Education Teachers that where not qualified to even sit with a dog much less a child. They deserve an equal chance to learn as every other child. Nevertheless, they are more of a challenge and I like a challenge especially one that someone has given up on. It is that ...
- 950: Is Daycare A Viable Option
- ... concerns can arise. These health concerns can be as minor as a cold or as severe as a life threatening disease. Exposure to many other children from many different families greatly increases the odds a child has of contracting various illnesses. Children in a daycare center play together and do many activities in close proximity of one another, so that once a sickness is introduced to one child many others can be affected within a short period of time. However, children that are raised at home with a parent have a much less chance of being exposed to illnesses. There are usually not many other children to spread germs around. Even when a child being cared for at home gets sick it's not likely that reoccurring illnesses will be a problem. An at home parent can take the extra time to take extra special care of a ...
