Parental alienation syndrome

Paid maternity leave is offered to women and the policy even extends to men for a lesser time frame around the globe. Countries have offered as much as 12 to 18 weeks paid leave and some private sector organizations overseas can offer up to a year of maternity leave. Countries that are rapidly growing within their economic development have also extended policy centered around maternity leave which begs the question: Why is the United States lagging behind our global counterparts in providing…

The United States Department of Labor’s website states in Wage and Hour Division (n.d.) that the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave. This essentially means employees can take a leave of absence for medical related reasons, while still…

like ours, with respect to supports for families, especially parental leave. As a developmental psychologist as well as a mother and grandmother, I am keenly aware of the importance of providing men and women alike with time to adjust to their new role as parents, time to learn the baby’s needs and rhythms, and time to sleep. And women who have given birth often need time to recover from giving birth. The business case for parental leave is strong. In the wake of California’s partially paid…

Marguerite Johnson Professor Anita Slusser English Composition 1 10/20/14 Paid Paternity Leave Do you ever get tired of the stereotypical cliché where women are the only ones who raise the child and do all of the cooking and cleaning? Do you plan on having children while working a job at the same time? What opportunities did your parents get when having children? Our country does not give parents the opportunities that other parents receive in other countries. Not only should mothers…

The case that I chose from the database was the James Bain case. James Bain was an exonerate and he served 35 years in prison from 1974 to 2009. He was falsely accused from eyewitnesses, but what shocked me was the amount of time to find out that he was actually innocent. I chose this case because, even when forensic evidence of his blood showed that he wasn’t the criminal, he was still accused and was sent to prison because of it. His prison sentence was 25 to life, and if it wasn’t for his…

Parental Leave Laws are an extremely important but overwhelmingly overlooked necessity in America. Other countries have proven for years that Paid and Protected Parental Leave strengthen the family unit, as well as the economic and corporate structures. The United States is the only industrialized nation that does not mandate paid leave for mothers of newborns. We must make Parental Leave Laws a priority for all parents if we wish to improve the standard quality of life in this country and…

of life. Paternal leave is an option in the U.S., but only 3 states offer paid parental leave, which are California, New Jersey, and Rhode Island (United States Department of Labor). It is ideal for both parents to take parental leave but many times only the mother will take maternal leave because someone under the roof needs to bring in the money, which in many cases is the father. Sometimes fathers don’t take parental leave because of the stigma that the child only needs its mother when in…
