Why are babies, who are born to drug-addicted mothers, more likely to abuse drugs as teens and how can this be prevented?

Introduction

The term ‘Mothering’ is a manifestation of all the best practices constituted in the well being of a child. The way mothers perform this behavior is largely influenced by the social norms, rituals and myths. Then, the outcome of Mothering is an amalgamation of social, economic and political influences reflected in the character of a child. Hence mothers should be really concerned about how they raise their children and who is accountable for them. Family and household further extend support to the mothers as mothers alone cannot provide for all the needs of the children. It is the family and society ...

The Oedipus complex is a psychosexual desire where a boy has got sexual feelings for his mother while young and develops with this feeling up to teenage age. The complex can also result to a feeling of hatred towards a parent or guardian of similar sex. The complex can be explained through ones actions and thoughts towards a father or mother.

Freud described that the disorder starts in young boys aged between three and five years. The boy the ...

The short stories, Two Kinds by Amy Tan and Powder by Tobias Wolff, seem to be autobiographical accounts of their childhood memories—Tan of her strict mother and Wolff of his estranged father. While the stories may contain some true elements from their youth, these stories are still fiction and seem to contain a lot of wishful thinking on the part of the authors, a wish that somehow things could have been better. As an adult, one can view his or her childhood past in better—and perhaps more grateful—perspective. On cannot be who he or she is without his ...

In some cases miscarriage can also occur, which is also known as spontaneous abortion. People (parents) go for abortion when they do not want a baby and/or have it if both of them are willing to.

It is undeniable that mothers and fathers have different parenting styles within the family structure. Ideally, a family will have both a mother and a father present to raise a child, but this is not always possible in all sets of circumstances. Mothers and fathers often play different roles in a child’s life, and it is very difficult for one parent to raise a family on his or her own. Children require a great deal of attention, and it is therefore best for two parents to raise a child together.
In the case where a single mother must raise a child, she will face unique challenges that a ...

When one talks about teenage pregnancy, there is a possibility that abortion would enter the discussion. With many teenagers slowly getting pregnant in a young age, many young couples opt to undertake abortion to get away from the responsibilities attached in being a young parent. Arguments have already dominated various discussion forums and mediums in allowing young couples to abort their babies legally. Many groups have vehemently argued against the legalization of Abortion as this is against the moral teachings of the Church, and it would also affect the young mother in the long run. Others believe legalization would reduce the number ...

Breastfeeding a child is an uncontested action and each and every individual agrees to the fact that it is advantageous to both the child and the mother. However, the bone of contention is the fact that the members of the society tend to have varying opinions on the matter of breastfeeding the child in public. The main issue that causes the individuals to consider breastfeeding in public is the fact that a section of individuals tends to over sexualize the female breast and a glimpse of it is considered to be immoral or indecent (Komodoki, 2014). Due to this, ...

Introduction
Abortion is an ethical dilemma wherein no conclusive position has been reached as of the time being. However, the social stigma that surrounds abortion is very strong as to make the topic a taboo that those who are pro-abortion would have second thoughts in expressing their opinions. The implication of this social stigma on abortion was captured perfectly by Sherman in saying that, “You have to decide whether or not to get an abortion. Then you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t”. For the same reason, it is very difficult to argue for ...

Essays on Breastfeeding in Public: Lactation and the Law

Introduction
Breastfeeding is a natural and the most efficient way of nursing infants. However, breastfeeding in public has been taken to negatively make it impossible for mothers to feed their babies comfortably in public. In the United States, breasts have been sexualized, and used in advertisements and at multiple restaurants. Furthermore, breastfeeding in public has been taken negatively, ascetic, inappropriate, and tawdry. There are unique benefits of breastfeeding to the baby (Humphries, 2011). These benefits include advanced cognitive development, low rates of childhood obesity, and small risks of asthma among others. Companies manufacturing formula milk have developed products that ...

‘Mother Tongue’ by Amy Tan is part personal memoir, part reflection on the “broken English” of her mother. Tan traces her own reaction to her mother’s use of English. As a child she was often embarrassed by her mother’s spoken English skills. As she was growing up she admits “I was ashamed of my mother’s English.” She describes with some humor making telephone calls on her mother’s behalf, pretending, for the sake of the call, that she was her mother. But she admits to feeling uncomfortable with calling her mother’s use of English “broken” or “ ...

Abortion should be legalized

Abortion should be legalized and the right to decide whether a woman is ready to bear the responsibility of a child, a life, should be granted to the woman. Currently, abortion is illegal in several countries across the globe, some even going to the extent of endangering the mother’s life so as to avoid aborting a foetus. While most of the arguments against legalizing abortion have been founded on the concept of the foetus’ right to life, there is also great contention that a woman is the best judge of ...

It has been widely accepted for numerous decades now that women are meant to nurture their children, do the housework, stay at home, and be perfect housewives, having everything and everyone in the household settled and contented. Men, on the other hand, are expected to provide for their families, be the ones who discipline children and the sole responsible for fixing things around the house. When that balance is kept and each gender plays their “role” well, everything works clockwise and societies treat that particular household, where everything is in order and each gender does the things that are ...

The issue of abortion is definitely multivalued. It has demographic sense, as well as political and social importance, and it has a very important ethical aspect. Topicality of the problem in discussing abortion persists despite the fact that it continues for many centuries. Historically, the attitude of doctors to abortion is one of the first and fundamental ethical and medical issues that are still relevant today. This is explained by the fact that the problem of abortion unites the relationship between people at the level of moral, legal, social, political, religious, and scientific consciousness.
Abortion is defined as termination ...

Introduction

In our case of Mrs. Brown, she is inclined to get an abortion despite her physician’s assurances and official diagnosis of possible mild defect in her fetus. Would her physician agree that she should abort? If I am that physician, I would recommend that she keep her child.
My recommendation for Mrs. Brown to carry the child to birth rests on an appreciation that, based on the facts of the fetus’ medical condition, an abortion is unnecessary because the fear associated with the mild birth defect is unfounded.
First, I will describe the current arguments of ...

Amy Tan’s exquisite novel The Joy Luck Club, is the unforgettable tale of four immigrant Chinese families residing in San Francisco. The novel is narrated through a uniquely feminist perspective. The Chinese mothers with their essential parochial background coupled with the bitter childhood experiences, growing-up in China during the hard times of the Chairman Mao’s cultural indoctrination and the subsequent political purge, think circumspectly and while-away their time playing Mah jong. On the contrary, the confident American born and raised daughters have a completely different approach towards life. The generation-gap and cultural differences between the mothers and the daughters ...

Introduction

Immigrants form a significant part of countries like the USA and other economically stable nations. They have what the locals term to be a limited access to the English language because it is not their mother tongue. The issue that underlies the speaking of broken English is identifiable in a language barrier. Language barrier refers to a limitation, not only in speech, but also in the understanding of English, which is the language in question. Amy Tan, in her writing that is titled “mother tongue,” recognizes the effects of language a barrier and the stereotyping it presents. The same issue is exploited in the a ...

Every human being has a right to life. He starts his argument by a strong pathos to capture the readers’ feelings (Fletcher, 12). He asks how one would feel if their ability to live was taken away without their consent. He goes ahead and states that, annihilating a fetus simply because they are not in apposition to make their own decisions and control their lives is wrong and a selfish practice that should be fought at all costs.
Many other solutions are safer than abortion. He goes ahead and asks an emotional question: “Why choose abortion over adoption?” Medics establish that there are ...

Morality of Abortion

Before judging the morality behind the act of abortion we must emphasize on ‘what is abortion’ and ‘why it is generally performed’. The act of abortion can be defined as the removal of immature fetus from the womb of a human female with her consent. It is, no doubt, an unpleasant action but the doer has more than one reason to perform it. The act itself dates back thousands of years back and it will continue till Jesus comes with certainty. As custodians of our health, doctors have had the privilege of carrying out this process on whosoever desires. The ...

The Cinderella, Fairy Tale has been handed down from generation, depicting the hatred of Cinderella’s two step-sisters and her step-mother. The general consensus of this story is Cinderella’s step-mother and step-sister are full of hatred and they unleashed it on her. There is the possibility that the story has another side. Maybe, Cinderella’s extended family has never known love; they do not know what being loved is like. Not knowing or ever experienced love their behavior is understood. No one can display a behavior to which he or she is not exposed. Such a life would deem anyone ...

Abstract

One of the most central pillars of the US’ Healthy People 2020 are family planning goals geared at fostering pregnancy planning, spacing and reduction of unintended pregnancies. Despite these efforts, 49% of pregnancies every year are unplanned, some of which raise the need for abortion. This paper asserts that abortion asserts that arguments against abortion are founded on an assumption that has no basis in law, since life only begins when foetuses are viable. It argues that while every human being (excluding unviable foetuses) has a right to life, the right to privacy and autonomy over one’s body are ...

Introduction

Advances in medical technology mean that pregnant women can choose to have tests during pregnancy to predict whether the fetus has characteristics that suggest abnormalities. Although birth defects are rare, the most common of those that do occur are the chromosome disorders Trimosies 13, 18, and 21, commonly known as Patau Syndrome, Edward Syndrome and Down Syndrome respectively (SOFT – Support Organization for Trisomy 18, 13 and related disorders) (n.d.). Statistically, the occurrence of any of those syndromes is as follows:

Paternity Leave Rights Needed for U.S. Fathers

Introduction

Regarding parental leave from employment when a child is born, that leave is termed “maternity leave” if it is for the mother, and “paternity leave” if it is for the father. The reasons for granting working mothers such leave are fairly clear (both prior to and following the birth), but the reasons for allowing the father such leave are perhaps less obvious. Relevant issues include the reasons for granting paternity leave, how the U.S. compares with other countries in that regard, the impacts of men taking paternity leave, whether it should be paid ...

Valuing Life at its Beginning

The issue on abortion is a continuous concern of almost every human society across the world. At a certain point of history, people decided to be in absolute opposition to it.

Through the years, men sought answers as to whether aborting a conceived child-to-be is right or wrong. Along with various researchers, ethical advisors, philosophers, and lawmakers, people look at different perspectives – considering many cases and contexts the practice of abortion would be deemed ...

Argumentative Essay: Pro-Life

The debate surrounding abortion is a consistently heated one, with many different arguments arguing for either the so-named "pro-life" (opposed to abortion) and "pro-choice" (in support of abortion) positions on the issue. In essence, the issue boils down to whether or not women have the right to terminate pregnancy; pro-life advocates believe that this is tantamount to murder as it prevents a child from being born, while pro-choice advocates believe that abortion gives women control over their own bodies. While there are very compelling and emotional arguments for the legalization of abortion, the procedure itself must not be ethically advocated.

The women's prison system, as a consequence of its inmate's sentences, involves separation of mother from child as the mother is no longer physically capable of taking care of them. However, there are those who argue that women should be able to still raise their children if incarcerated; they argue that the 'critical bond' between mother and child must be maintained, and that the children would suffer for being away from their child. Many of these proponents argue that biological mothers should be the only people who care for their child, particularly newborns; however, research and statistical evidence indicates that ...

It was a unique time in history; slavery had been abolished, Jim Crow las were in effect but the civil rights movement had not yet begun. Voices like Langston Hughes spoke out against the racial oppression. Hughes himself wrote many short stories, poems and plays in his time. One of the themes that repeats itself in the works of Hughes is the word “mulatto”. “Mulatto”, a word used to describe a person of mixed black and white heritage, elicits a negative feeling or response from most people given the prejudiced nature of the word. Due to the negative nature ...

Abortion refers to a procedure of terminating pregnancy through the means of medicines or surgery. Though the decision of ending pregnancy is very personal affair but as termination of pregnancy involves killing a child, there are lots of conflicts of opinion over abortion whether or not it is just.

Which character truly understands the concept of ‘heritage’?

In Alice Walker’s classic short story “Everyday Use”, the central conflict revolves around two sisters who are very different from one another in life opportunities, choices, and values. While the story is told by their elderly mother, the focal point of the story is on their two differing viewpoints and the way that each of them perceives the concept of heritage. While Dee has an intellectual understanding of the concept, for Maggie, it is a concrete experience that she lives day-to-day, making her concept of heritage more valid despite her limited opportunities.
Dee is glamourous, well-educated, lives in ...

The debate about abortion has been going on for the last few decades with some groups supporting its legalization while other groups claiming that abortion should be banned.

In today's comparatively progressive society, the value of established and traditional gender roles are increasingly being reviewed and investigated. Given the long-running activities, rights and perceptions attributed to women over the past several centuries, it is not hard to believe that these traditional roles for women (wife, homemaker, sex object, recipient of men’s advances and charity) are often ardently defended by societal norms and practices. It is clear that women have certain expectations placed upon them that are reinforced by the society around us - women are supposed to go out and find a man to marry, and to ...

I chose my essay to be ‘an argument for making the death penalty mandatory for murders’ because it has been a dilemma in the society. There have been sections advocating for its abolishment and those for its reinforcement. However, statistics show that murder rates are increasing and break outs in prison increase due to advanced technology, hence there have been calls to make the death penalty for murder mandatory so as to rid offenders from the society and prevent the crime reoccurring.
To make my essay stronger for the portfolio, I did revisions in the four sections of the ...

One of the most controversial topics in terms of ethics is the issue on abortion, whether it is valid or illegal. In one definition, abortion is considered the premature termination or forced elimination of the pregnancy. This can be done through the use of pills or physical means. This is usually done intentionally . Many arguments have been raised regarding the legalities of such act, and why it is a continuously growing trend in many countries both developed and developing. Most of the cases of abortion are due to unwanted pregnancies, teenage pregnancy and due to the hardships the parents are ...

Should the death penalty be mandatory for people that kill other people?

The saying goes do unto others what you would have them do unto you. Therefore, the price for taking away life should cost the offender his or her life. Different kinds of punishment have been used to discourage criminals from unlawful actions, and the greater the criminal act the greater should be the punishment. The death penalty is a controversial issue and people base their arguments for or against death penalty on practical, emotional, religious or practical grounds. People in favor of the capital punishment argue that it improves peace in the society by ensuring that such people do not ...

The dream of every expectant mother is to give birth to a healthy baby when the nine months elapse. However, the culture of uncertainty among expectant mothers has engulfed their thoughts of the possibility of giving birth to children with disabilities. As a result, they have turned to clinics for prenatal screening with a hope of getting a clean bill of health from medical practitioners about their current situation. All these efforts are not in vain in their minds as long as they are assured their babies will not have Down’s syndrome. These frantic efforts paintan image of ...

The debate over abortion has been raging for quite some time in our culture. In recent times, one observes that abortions have become commonplace. Most supporters primarily argue with respect to autonomy and women’s rights with respect to abortion. On the other hand, the pro-life supporters argue with the fact that the act of abortion results in the killing of a fetus. Since the act of killing is morally and ethically despicable, pro-life supporters use this argument as a foundation. On a moral basis too, Kantian ethics renders abortion as an immoral act for a number of different reasons. The primary reason, ...

Abortion is one of the most controversial topics in our popular culture. It crosses racial, religious, socio-economic, and gender lines. Since the Roe v. Wade decision in the 1970s, abortion has been a hot button issue everywhere from the dinner table to the race to the White House. It seems as if opinions on this topic are split right down the center. If you asked fifty random people about the subject, it is quite possible you would have 25 for abortion and 25 against it. Abortion is both unethical and immoral as a means of birth control. There are three reasons ...

Just like many of us, Francis Tarwater has to make his own decisions about his spiritual future, and the influence he receives from his various father figures in the story is ...

Abortion has always been a controversial subject, even after the United States government gives women the right to choose whether or not they can abort their children some people still strongly oppose abortion. Abortion should be a woman’s decision not society’s.
Several people have argued that abortion is murder; however abortion is no more a crime than abuse and neglect of a child. There are parent who have severely abuse their children. I have seen children whose parents literally starve them. I have seen children whose parents willfully burn them with hot iron. These children did survive and were adopted ...

Abortion is a highly debatable and controversial subject. Abortion can be defined as that process where a developing child in the mother’s womb is terminated. Keeping all instances and situations in mind, abortion has always and still is always seen as an act of violence done against the new unborn child and also to the woman carrying the baby. To my own opinion, abortion is also a moral crime itself. Currently, abortion is a big issue which has raised a heated debate on its legalization. For years, abortion has remained legal in different many countries. However, as times goes by, some countries are ...

Many people would often say that children should be cherished and nurtured because they will be the voice of the future. They should be given a good life by their parents and they should be protected from all harm, especially as they grow older. However, for some children, they may never live to see the light of the outside world as their parents ‘abort’ their chances of being born into the world without the chance of fighting back. This trend of abortion has earned immense debate between sectors as there are those who call for its legalization since they believe ...

Being accepted within a community of peers is important to many people my age, and, as far as I can tell, to all people regardless of age. Every child wants to be with other kids that want to play with him/her; so, he/she will do anything to feel welcome in the small community of other peers. While growing up, people make decisions and according to them, they belong to groups. These groups have rules that every member should abide by, to be considered equal –and sometimes worthy- of being a member. Bottom line, we all want to belong somewhere, where we ...
