Children should play with toy guns because this practice can teach gun safety‚ encourage imagination‚ and reduce the fascination and allure of real guns. Parents are becoming increasingly more hesitant to allow their children to play with toy guns. Many parents believe that letting a child play with toy weapons will lead to that child being prone to violence. Contrarily‚ studies have been unable to identify a link between toy gun toting children and violent crimes. This argument is unfounded‚ but

Virtue‚ rather than being a teachable piece of knowledge‚ seems to be an innate understanding. Every person in the world‚ save perhaps psychopaths and sociopaths‚ naturally has a strong moral compass. An example that proves this idea is the innocence of children. I have never witnessed a child perform an action with solely malicious intent. Children always have some outside motivation for any hateful actions they perform‚ so they never do it only to hurt someone. At this point you might think that

Ashlee Johnson Punishment vs. Discipline 04/29/10 HFS 4213 Children cannot possibly benefit from “discipline” in the form of punishment. Simply put‚ punishment is disrespectful treatment of a child that will result short-term cooperation but further behavior problems long-term. No child should have to endure such negative modification methods intended to humiliate them with a goal of teaching appropriate behavior. Sadly‚ however‚ some adults think they are doing what is

Beatings also occurred because of adult anxiety over their image as erotic objects. It was a crime for a boy to touch themselves but acceptable for men to have sexual intercourse with boys. Boys wore “metal anti-masturbation devices” to avoid being punished by being beating (DeMause‚ 1982). Adults thought if boys touched themselves they would lose their manhood. Boys were not allowed to give themselves an orgasm. To society‚ it was seen as unmanly and unhealthy. Ambivalent parenting ended in the

Problem “Kids will be kids.” Time and time again‚ this phrase has been used to dismiss the countless cases of bullying that take place in schools across the country. Such a carefree attitude towards a violent and brutal problem like bullying is a disturbing trend to see. Every year thousands of kids fall victim to schoolyard and online bulling. A child who has suffered from bullying is “2 to 9 times more likely to commit or attempt suicide” (Teen Health) and more often then not‚ cruelty from peers

“Kids will be kids‚” they said‚ but they stop believing that statement when a youngster commits heinous actions. I strongly agree with not sentencing juveniles or charging them as adults‚ they do not have the capacity of reasoning their actions. A brain is not at its full development at a young age. As for an adult‚ their brain has been through more development and should be mature and conscious of what is that they are doing. We are not considered legal yet until we turn 18; and it is for the same

explanation as to why spanking has these side effects is that the child is following the example of the parents hitting them. Another part of the explanation is that when parents spank‚ children miss out on instances of a conflict being resolved nonviolently and therefore have lower problem-solving skills. Another problem with spanking is that it undermines the relationship between parent and child. It’s part of American mythology that spanking is not a big deal and that kids take it in stride‚ but

Hatred of Hitting The topic of spanking children as punishment has caused serious controversy dating back to as late as the early 1960s. This topic not only brings out the statistical points but the ethical and moral points as well. Spanking kids as physical punishment is wrong for all ages because it can not only have psychological damage but intellectual damage as well. During my dad’s childhood when he would misbehave he would get a swat on the bottom or sometimes a belt to the bottom if that’s

Why are young people having kids at very young age‚ when they have nothing to provide? The other day I was in class and we were all presenting ourselves‚ what I realized once again‚ was very strange and I have to say that I have mix feelings about it.
