Impact of Divorce on Children and their Families Abstract The issue of divorce is a significant field of research study due to its implications on the social development of adolescents, preschoolers, and young youths. Divorce among parents causes substantial social, economic, and health effects on children. Many of the consequences related to marital dissolution may undesirably influence children’s success in their future romantic relationships. When parents separate, children usually experience loss of one parent’s economic stability and constant presence, which research has shown to have stress implications on the children. Even though self-reliant these concerns are consequential, they fail to address the social and academic life of children or their point of view on the characteristics of a healthy relationship. Research suggests that older children often report a high rate of disturbances when parents’ divorce, in most situations, younger children suffer more. Given the tremendous research on the impacts of divorce on children, there has been little impact on social work practice. To that effect, this paper discusses the implications of research in the field of social work practice. The…
The widening credibility gap The term ‘credibility gap’ was first used in the 1960s and 1970s. The phrase was used to describe how the information given by the government was different from what the public believed (Elbert1). The sentence began with the war in Vietnam and Watergate. The people lost trust in the government gradually but not abruptly. The death of more than 3 million Americans and Vietnamese was what made the people lose confidence in almost all government institutions (Burns, Novick1). The phrase is mostly used by politicians and the press to express that they doubt the information given by the government. Further, there was a commission led by the supreme court of justice. It was supposed to make sure that the Soviet Union was not involved in the Vietnam war. However, the report that was written by the commission made the public to have more questions than answers. The public later learned that the government was acting to hide the dirty tricks played by the government. This led to a decrease in the way the people trusted the…
The Green World in Dandelion Wine Introduction Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury is a story about a 12 years- old boy named Douglas who used to play and run around as any other young boy would do. Living in Green Town, a city in Illinois, Douglas is trying to live a happy life by enjoying his summer to the best he can. In his adventure, the boy familiarises himself with the nature of the world as he tries to make sense of both life and death (Bradbury 8). From how Douglas is enjoying summer in his unrestricted life, Bradbury teaches us that we don’t need to travel places in search of adventure because the world around us is infused with mystical beauty which we only need to open our eyes to see. The whole summer is exciting to Douglas, and he has to record everything that is happening in every passing hour. The summer that Douglas is enjoying is replete of green apple trees, mowed lawns and new sneakers. The happiness of any man exists within him but does not…
The Psychological Repercussions of Big Brother is Watching In the novel “1984” by George Orwell, there is an implication that the government continuously surveils the society in the book, and thus there is nothing as a sense of privacy in that community. Being watched continuously assaults people’s privacy, and just as it was the case of Winston Smith, the protagonist of the story, this idea can have severe consequences on someone’s psychological wellbeing. The notion of surveillance has been captured in “1984” with the term “Big brother is watching” to indicate that the government in the narrative practices mass surveillance on its people. Though this is often perceived as a sense of enhancing security, just as it is with the case of CCTVs in the present society, there are consequences attached to the practice. This essay will, therefore, analyze the psychological repercussions associated with constant surveillance on people and how this can alter their cognitive performance and social behaviors. Privacy remains to be one of the most important aspects of everyone’s life simply because it allows people to create boundaries…

“The man of many faces.” In “the dead” tale, Gabriel has many faces depending on the situation he finds himself in. Gabriel seems to be a happily married man until he attends a party when he displays lack of confidence. The tale portrays him as a fashion icon, although he seems to have issues with his physical looks. Gabriel is a person who is easily distracted because, during the party instead of him paying attention to the ongoing activities, he thinks about the discourse. ‘Gabriel laughed nervously and patted his tie reassuringly….He coloured and was about to knit his brows…’ Gabriel tried to cover his agitation by taking part in the dance with great energy’ (Joyce 131). This is a statement that shows Gabriel lacks confidence in himself. Gabriel’s encounter with Lily shows that he is a mean but caring man. He does not think before talking, and that is why he says hurtful words to Lily. When Gabriel says that he hopes to attend Lily’s wedding one day, Lily states that men in the present era want stuff…
Essay On Mother’s Day: Its Date & Celebration Mother is the greatest gift that God has given to human beings on earth. Mother is as necessary for child development as water is for a sapling. She renders love, protection, care, and nourishment. No matter what a mother does for her child, she does it as an act of selfless service, having just one goal in mind: the development and well being of her child. The world celebrates this spirit of Motherhood on different dates that coincide with their customs. In India, the 2nd Sunday of May is celebrated as Mother’s Day every year, even if many countries have their dates. This day is celebrated to pay love and respect to the greatest gift God has provided where the unconditional love of the mother has no parallel. The love of a mother does not depend on her child’s mental ability or physical appearance. A physically challenged child is cared for and loved for by her/his mother, no less than a healthy child loved by the mother. Also, to provide nourishment, a…

The Experience of Grief Introduction Grief is not just about sadness. There is more to pain than people think. It involves a range of many emotional reactions. These may include emotions, thoughts, behavior, beliefs, among many other things. All these reactions tend to correlate with one another. They, at times, can be overwhelming to the person facing it. Grief at most times comes about as a result of suffering a significant loss, which at times is unexpected. For instance, the death of a loved one. One would not expect that their loved one could die, and finally, when they do, people end up frustrated, not knowing how or what to do to be able to face the loss. They are therefore faced with these mixed emotions that are entirely not a good thing to deal with. Most people even tend to fall into depression if their grief is not handled in due time. The main aim of conducting this interview was to get different insights into the experience of pain. This interview was conducted in one of the local homes…
