Comparing Osama's The Monkeys And Their Mother
The Monkeys and Their Mother The mother of the two monkeys fondles one of her babies, hoping to give it the greatest affection and making it well-protected, but to her big surprise and sadness, her beloved baby died from her over-affection. I was deeply touched by the last sentence of the story: “The best intentions will not always ensure success.” There is no doubt that this sentence is thought-provoking. It is very common nowadays that many parents try their best to offer their daring the best condition in the hope of protecting them from many unexpected dangers. But obviously, this love of children is wrong. Then how can parents love or educate their kids correctly? Accordingly, I will tell you a story on how Osama’s mother educated him

    The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) originated on July 29, 2002 due to fraudulent bookkeeping practices and misleading financial reports from large corporations. These practices created a number of accounting scandals, which resulted in this in the government creating such an act. The purpose was to prevent and punish corporate corruption and, along the way, try to repair investor confidence. The law was passed by congress after well-known companies (Enron, Peregrine Systems and Tyco International, to name a few) caused great humiliations to its investors, which in result cost them billions of dollars. The share prices of the affected companies collapsed, which shook public confidence in the nation’s securities markets.…

    Education has never yet been brought to bear with one-hundredth part of its potential force upon the natures of children, and, through them, upon the character of men and of the race. In all the attempts to reform mankind which have hitherto been made, whether by changing the frame of government, by aggravating or softening the severity of the penal code, or by substituting a government created for a God-created religion, - in all these attempts, the infantile and youthful mind, its amenability to influences, and the enduring and self-operating character of the influences it receives, has been almost wholly unrecognized. Here, then, is a new agency, whose powers are but just beginning to be understood, and whose mighty energies hitherto have been but feebly invoked; and yet, from our experience, limited and imperfect as it is, we do know that, far beyond any other earthy instrumentality, it is comprehensive and…

    Wanting to protect one’s children, and wanting to see one’s children succeed are perfectly normal emotions for a parent to have. However, at some point, parents need to realize that while overly protecting one’s children from life experiences may help them in the short term, it prevents children from developing into responsible young adults. In “A Nation of Wimps,” by Hara Estroff Marano, we are shown how parents try to push their children to succeed, often for their own satisfaction rather than for the children. Although parents may have the best intentions, overly protecting their children from life experiences often put children at a huge disadvantage.…

    The concerned parent attempts to provide all that is needed for their children to grow and developed into acceptable, productive members of society. The nurturance can sometimes become challenging and even gruesome as together, child and parents, travel through the stages of development. Kail and Cavanaugh (2010), describes two dimensions of parenting. The first dimension relates to the amount of affection and concern presented by the parent (warmth). They are genuine in displaying loving care at one end of the spectrum. They integrate into every aspect of their child’s life from a warm and caring perspective. The other end of the spectrum presents the opposite scenario. At this end there is little or no display of warmth and affection. These parents are too busy doing for themselves with no regards to what is happening as their children proceed through the stages of development. They are mostly not involved in their child’s lives. The second dimension (control) involves what can be described as either a dictatorship or freelance. Control is the key element (or the lack of). The controlling parent is one who dictates everything their child does; little or no autonomy is given. There is, on the other end of this spectrum, those parents who allow their child to make their own decision with no need to ask them or worry about any consequences from the choices they make in life (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2010). This paper will address the various parenting styles and the social, emotional developmental aspects associated with each concerning the development of a 10 year old.…

    In Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s essay “Concerning Children” she explains that people are temporarily children, and far more permanently (wo)men. She believes that when parenting a child, the key to molding him/her into a successful adult is not by making them 100% obedient and telling them to do things “because I said so”, but by telling them to do something and explaining why so they understand what they’re doing (Gilaman527-530).…

    In the end a child’s actions is based on how they were brought up from beginning of life, by teaching them right from wrong, good and bad. Always know that in good teaching good deeds will be rewarded but on the other side of the token when bad actions take place consequences will be given in different ways. Permissive and Authoritative Parenting are opposites but in the end have the same consequences towards the end but in desperate needs they will result back to what they were…

    The lasting impact of early life lessons is shown in this quote. This idea was an ever-present theme in the book, particularly from Aibileen’s side of the story. After raising and coming to love 19 babies, only one of which was her own, in her lifetime Aibileen has made non prejudice and equality a big point of childhood upbringing. Most of the maids, including Aibileen, find it hard to understand that they take care of and love on these children their entire childhood, but the children still end up treating the help as their lesser when they are grown ups.…

    The Bible says that in the beginning, God created man and woman equal in His own image. Many cultures around the world have adapted to the idea of equality among people, yet other cultures have not yet adapted to that mentality. One culture that has not inhabited this mentality is the Afghan culture. This is very evident in the novel The Kite Runner by Kahled Hosseini and the film Osama directed by Siddiq Barmak. This novel and film have many things in common that one can see is prominent, for example, the way the Taliban rules and treats the Afghanistan citizens, the inequality between men and women, and the way the character Amir form The kite Runner and Osama from the film Osama, live their lives and what they carry with them emotionally.…

    For ten years I worked in a collectivism culture driven by high power distance, charismatic and team oriented leadership where managers had the ability to expect high performance outcomes, motivate and build effective teams for common purposes, and employees had low engagement in making decisions. I moved overseas and over the past five years I have been working in an individualistic culture driven by autonomous leadership, low power distance and encouragement of more open discussions to solve problems.…

    Tiger Mom

    Amy Chua’s provocative Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has caused great controversy and debate mainly because of her strict parenting philosophy exercised throughout the entire novel. Chua is questioning the traditional Western parenting ways and inevitably promoting her self-righteous “Tiger Mom” ideology. While I understand certain positive aspects of her extremist theory, I believe that Western parenting is in fact the way to go. Not only should parents respect their children’s opinions and desires, her definition of success is tremendously subjective and is most likely not representative of your average parent’s definition of the term.…

    The Chinese focus is fosters interdependence and cooperation. A different set of conditions prevails in areas in which children are born into very poor and hostile environments. Mothers of children living, for example, in the areas of Africa have different beliefs about childrearing that seem uncaring by the standards of middle-class Western societies. They view children who are developmentally delayed or who have quiet temperaments as weak and unlikely to survive and as a consequence might neglect these children.…

    The Three Types Of Parenting

    Parenting and the way one chooses to parent is so crucial to child development; it affects every aspect of the child’s life. Parenting styles are choices and there is no right or wrong way to raise a child. In society there may be, but it only matters how to the person raising their child. There are endless ways people raise their children and even though we have four main parenting styles, sometimes many parents don’t even fit into one. Parents should just strive to raise their children as well as they can. The biggest thing a parent can do for their child is to teach them, support them, and be there for them. “At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents.” - Jane D.…

    The realization of how powerful education is dawned upon me for the first time when I started teaching my domestic help’s son during my free time after high school. As empowering as it was, I took it as a responsibility to do my best to help him in his studies. His innocence and playfulness redefined childhood for me, as I myself became a child with him, enjoying the little pleasures of mentoring the kid. However,…
