Spanking as punishment for children             Spanking denotes the use of hands to strike the buttocks of another person to cause physical harm. It can also involve the use of objects such a cane, belt, or whip to beat another. It is a controversial means of discipline for several reasons. It may cause injury to the child, as its sole purpose is to inflict pain. According to the American Psychological Association, spanking relates to such outcomes in children as an increased aggressive behavior, antisocial instances, and also damage to their mental health. Research by Pace, Lee & Grogan (2019) covering 69 countries in the low to medium-income bracket showed that there is a correlation between spanking children at a young age and their socioemotional development in later years. The means of punishment is controversial because despite all the study into its negative impacts, some parents, especially in low-income backgrounds, believe in its effectiveness. I do not support the use of spanking of children as punishment. It is a violent form of correcting children that, in most cases, hurt them more…

support the thesis that religious freedom should be limited Many amendments in the constitutions of different countries in the world acknowledge religious freedom. In the United States constitution, the first amendment states, “Congress shall make no laws in respect to an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The clause in the American constitution protects Americans against religious discrimination by providing and protecting religious freedom for every American. However, the protection of religious freedom remains controversial. The disagreement stems from the analysis of how the privilege should be expressed. Individuals of faith believe religion surpasses public concerns, including government essentials like education and the law. For most believers, religion is unique, regardless of context or company. On the other spectrum of the controversy are believers of public space over religion. This group of range and believers advocate for the separation of church and state. In this essay, the focus is to establish why it is essential to limit religious freedom. There is a need to separate church and state. The initial separation of church and state is intended…

Descriptive and Analytic Epidemiology Part 1 Malaria is considered a worldwide health concern. It is one of the greatest causes of death in the world. Countries have been collaborating with NGOs to control and eliminate malaria. However, the biggest challenge facing the control of malaria is the increasing imported cases of malaria (Tebernero, Fernandez, et al., 2014). For countries to effectively control malaria, they need first to know how to manage imported malaria cases. This can help them to sustain malaria control. Anopheles mosquito transmits malaria from an infected person to non-infected one. A person infected with malaria demonstrates symptoms such as fever, chills, anemia, and so forth. Children and the minority are highly exposed to malaria. Basic symptoms in children include impaired consciousness, convulsions, hypoglemia, and so on (Tebernero, Fernandez, et al., 2014). Malaria is mostly transmitted in dawn and dusk. Malaria epidemiology changes from one geographical region to another, and this depends on the intensity of local malaria transmission. In 2015, Africa recorded 395,000 malaria deaths (Tebernero, Fernandez, et al., 2014). Malaria impacts are felt within health facilities,…

Stage Social Identity Developmental Model The model that pertains to men identified as gay is the stage model of the social identity proposed by Cass. The model constitutes of six stages which assume movements in self-perception from the notion of heterosexuality to gay (MacDonald, 2016). The first phase in the model entails identity confusion.  In the first stage, individuals’ initial perceptions of thoughts, attractions, and feelings towards people with the same gender manifests. Identity comparison is the second identity of the model, whereby individuals counter social alienation and stigmatization.  In the third stage, identity tolerance entails an acknowledgment of the group as being gay and tend to seek out other gays within the community. Identity acceptance follows, which involves a positive connotation of being gay (MacDonald, 2016). Identity pride allows individuals to focus on contacts with their peers to identify with activities and issues relating to gays orientation. Ultimately, identity synthesis will enable individuals to judge the range of individual qualities other than sexual identity. Strengths and Weaknesses for Theory Models There exist myriad strengths and weaknesses for the Cass…
