“In fact, we often try to do everything we possibly can to guarantee that our children will have every chance to attain every level of success. That means that we want to provide them with the means to match or surpass us--their parents--and the lifestyle they have experienced growing up with” (Glass 1). According to Peter N. Stearns, in the past 20 years parental over-involvement has increased markedly (Are You Too 1). The question is why is parental involvement increasing? Helicopter parenting…

Kelp, our one and only source of nutrition, is nearly gone. With the remaining resources we have, we’d only last a few more weeks. Along with our weak source of kelp, it has contracted an extreme disease that seems to be spreading rapidly. There are scientists that are working on a solution for the contracted virus, however, there seems to be no sign of a solution, nor no signs of obtaining an idea for the solution either. On top of this, it seems our water source has been rapidly decreasing…

Have you ever seen a parent guiding their child 's every move? The other day, while walking downtown, I saw this family of four, two little boys and their mom and dad. I couldn 't help but overhear the kid saying “Mom I think I want to ski this year” and then the mom replied “Honey that 's dangerous, so many kids get hurt each year from that.” The dad just seldomly agreed. Now I know that parents don 't want their kids to get hurt, but to what extent is enough? Thats where the idea of helicopter…

The Self-Esteem Movement Failure How many times have you seen a parent console a misbehaving child by giving in and providing the child with exactly what they wanted, whether the child deserved it or not? How many times have you seen a child praised or rewarded for doing something that they should have been doing without a reward? Scenarios like this play out all over the world because parents are coddling their children, and hiding them from failure and disappointment. The idea is to build the…

Breeding gliders If you’ve ever wanted to do a fun animal hobby for a little extra money, then I would highly recommend breeding sugar gliders. Gliders look like exotic flying squirrels and originate from Australia. They are marsupials, and relate more to the term “flying possums” than flying squirrels. However, anyone interested in breeding gliders- or any other animal for that matter -must ask themselves this: “What does it take to breed sugar gliders, and am I really prepared to take on this…

We learn about the experiments that will be conduct to study primary production, ecological succession and population dynamics in the lab. Discussion A. What is primary production? Primary production is the production of biomass from chemical energy (primarily sunlight) “during a given time of period in an ecosystem” (pg.…

Imagine a world where children grow up having their each and every move monitored and overseen, where parents keep in contact with their children via cell phone throughout every day all day, and where children no longer view their parents as superior to them but instead view them as their “best friends”. Well, welcome to Generation Y! Children are growing up depending on their parents to fix every unfair situation, money need, hardship, and rejection in life because they think that is how life…

in support of the National Forestry Innovation Act There is a fundamental importance of maintaining the content of the National Forestry Innovation Act given the significance of its passing to the Australian economy and preservation of Australian forests and ecosystems. Being the current Minister for Resources and representative of Queensland, I understand the importance of preserving the full strength of this bill, as it targets key rural areas, and establishes robust economic development in…
