PARENTING IN 21ST CENTURY Considering the traditional family structure changes noticeable in these modern days, fathers should also be given the opportunity just like the mothers to take care of their children. This is out of consideration to the increasing number of paternal care giver fathers who also stay at home. Contrally ideas point at the historical precedent that indicates children raised by single mothers usually grow with upright morals as compared to those raised by the single fathers. This scrutiny however does not hold true based on both the sociological and economic fluctuations of the last fifty years (Cabrera & Natasha, 2012). In the United States for instance, statistics undertaken in the last half a century depict an up surge in single parent fathers mirrored but lagged behind the high rates of divorce. This has led to unequal assignment of parental responsibilities across men and women.

The Texas Blender Presenting a Mixture of Opinions From UT Students Top of Form Bottom of Form The Texas Blender Because reverse discrimination is a real thing The Civil Rights Act of 1964 ensured that there would be no more discrimination based on sex, race, color, religion, or national origin. So why does, affirmative action, a legal practice, contradict this non-discriminatory act? Proponents of affirmative action support it because it is “the practice of improving the educational and job opportunities of members of groups that have not been treated fairly in the past because of their race, sex, etc.” But if we truly live the Civil Rights of 1964, then affirmative action is actually an illegal practice all round, whether it be a 20 point boost or hardcore recruiting, racial preferences is discriminatory and excludes some whites. Isn’t this this a hypocritical agenda that causes reverse discrimination? It’s not white men’s fault that because of that privilege and exploitation of other racial groups, their parents and grandparents thrived in the suburbs.

DRUG ABUSE EFFECTS ON KIDS Abstract According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse regular use of opioid pain killers are generally safe when taken for a short time and advised by a health professional but, since they create a sense of euphoria in some individuals, they can easily be misused or abused causing drug addiction. Frequent consumption, even when consumed as advised by the health professional, can lead to addiction, over consumption, and eventually death. Opioid drug addiction is a country wide public health issue since Americans consume 79% of the world’s supply of opioid pain medications. Even more alarming, Americans consume 96% of the prescription drug Hydrocodone produced worldwide, which is a synthetic opioid derived from the pharmaceutical drug codeine and is very potent and addictive(Kampman & Jarvis, 2015).. The prescription drug crisis in the United States is believed to have reduced from the increased awareness of chronic pain by health professionals. This, coupled with the push from pharmaceutical companies for providers to prescribe opioid medications, led to a drastic increase of opioid use among Americans in the…
Linebarger (2015) Conclusion Linebarger (2015) concludes that there are several and co-dependent factors based on contexts, which cause child behavior problems. Such factors include the environment where a child lives at home, the extent of child-parent relationships, and the genres of videos that a child is exposed to. Video games do not increase levels of hyperactivity among preschool children. Importantly, examining the type of content that a child is exposed whether violent or non-violent, parenting styles along with cumulative risk can be considered to attain better insights into the study area. In the future, the research could find methods with the capacity to measure exposure as well as results more precisely, designs, as well as analyses that incorporate various contextual factors, and studies that enable the coefficients to vary or interact. Parental perceptions regarding early characteristics of infants may help to predict cognitive, language as well as motor development of infants (Parfitt, Pike & Ayers, 2013). The prenatal depression of the mother significantly affects the language development of an infant. At the same time, the mental health of the child…
