father in the life of a child is one of the most important aspects of everyday life. Fathers are often viewed as the most influential people during a person’s childhood, as their relationship with the person helps to mold the person for the future by imprinting their morals, ideas, culture, and more onto that person, thereby shaping their character as an adult. While the customs and cultures of humanity have changed over generations, the role of fathers in shaping these generations has not. In…
In the United States, a devastating water crisis is occurring. Water in the town of Flint, Michigan has been contaminated with toxic substances, resulting in residents getting sick. The problem originated from a water rehabilitation project when officials decided to build a pipeline in order to draw water from Lake Huron. However, the pipeline became too expensive and was never finished. Instead officials elected to draw municipal water from the Flint River instead. Sadly, the Flint River…
Families around the world serve as the first method of introducing children to the norms and values of their society. Though the early imprinting of cultural values and norms can influence a person’s behavior well into adulthood, the introduction of a new cultural value system at any age can drastically change a person’s belief and actions. The introduction of a new cultural value system, especially if different to the first value system a person knows, can cause a person to question what they…
So far the world has been developing with a shocking similarity to what most Marxists have predicted. The world has been divided into two groups: the bourgeois and the proletariat, the haves and the have-nots. The bourgeois is, despite its great disadvantages in the number of members, the dominant class that controls the process of production. Under capitalism, the bourgeois exploits and oppresses the proletariat to maximizes their own benefit. The proletariat has a far greater number, yet…
I personally think that the drinking age should be lowered to 18. The 1984 National Minimum Drinking Age Act, [23 U.S.C. § 158], requires that States prohibit persons under 21 years of age from purchasing or publicly possessing alcoholic beverages (APIS - The 1984 National Minimum Drinking Age Act). There are some excuses to the law. One main Idea about lowering the drinking age is that if you can risk your life for the army or some armed forces, you should be allowed to order a drink. "Support…
Power turns abusive because of human’s innate relationship with this mixed blessing. Throughout time, humans have had uniform ways in their desire for power and the way that they follow those who are in a position of power. The consistency prevalent throughout all regions of the world over the course of history is reflective of how all humans share a natural response when called to follow power and similarly in their aspiration for it. A human’s desire for power is a characteristic that remains…
The Development of a Toddler: An Application of Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory It is a privilege to observe the development of a human being, particularly during the stages of toddlerhood. In the words of Erik Erikson, a famous developmental psychologist, “There is in every child at every stage a new miracle of vigorous unfolding.” In 1940, Erikson put forth his theory of the psychosocial development of human beings, which describes eight phases that each person transitions through…
Imagine living in a society where performing a certain process, a perfect genetically identical copy of a biological entity could be produced. This process is called cloning, and essentially it takes from one’s own genetic makeup to produce an exact replica (Cloning Fact Sheet). These exact replicas, known as clones, can benefit our society in some ways, but could also deteriorate society into something people would not recognize. Elements of cloning suggest the fallacy of a slippery slope. One…
