Parents Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

Upon returning from school, my son immediately rushed towards me sobbing. His tears scared me off making me run my hands all around his body in the search of a bleeding wound. Alas! Instead of a bruise, I found his test scores. To my amazement, these tears were not because of failing the course, but because of not scoring the highest. Wiping off his tears, I smiled at him telling him that success and intelligence is not always measured by scores. It is the effort, the dreams and the hard work which counts because grades do not reflect a ...

The poem starts in the autumn garden as the writer is pulling the last young onions from the cold brown ground. The closing day flames and he glimpses a cardinal. After pulling the onions, he washes them and drinks the water flowing out from the icy metal spigot. This imagery provides a series of acute contrasts between many of the poem’s elements. Young onions have bright green tops ...

Abortion is defined as the act of clinically or surgically terminating pregnancy. A clinical abortion involves the use of medication to get rid of a pregnancy while a surgical abortion is carried out in the operating room whereby surgical equipments are used. There are many concerns on whether abortion should be permitted. Some people equate abortion to murder while others are neutral. This has resulted in two schools of thought; pro-choice and pro-life. Pro-choice are those who believe the woman should make a choice. On the contrary, pro-life are who believe abortion to murder. Therefore, it should not be ...

Sonia Sotomayor

Sonia Sotomayor became the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice in August 2009, and the third female justice in the history of the Supreme Court (Greene, 14). This is a remarkable feat by any standards, and as she recounts in her book, My Beloved World, the journey to the Supreme Court was not easy. The book recounts her childhood, growing up in the projects in Bronx, through school, and through her career up until her appointment to the Supreme Court. Though one would expect a book by a person of her stature to contain jurisprudential and philosophical views, the book ...

Achieving individual fulfillment is a process that is often determined by obtaining a sense of identity. Etymologically, heritage has been perceived as a relationship that involves exchange. It can be defined as the quality of values, principles and beliefs, which are passed from one generation to another. These qualitative aspects of life are usually negotiated and adjusted with time. The choice to maintain heritage implies belief in some aspects of the past, which builds and motivates the events of a time in the future.
I believe that the upbringing that children receive from their parents shapes their personality and ...

Over the years, vaccines have been suspected to cause autism. A substance called thimerosal found in the mercury based vaccines that are used as a preservative has been the major point of discussion in vaccination.

At a time around 5000 families including the family of Hannah, claimed damages after a national vaccination program was blamed for causing autism to their children. In the case of Hannah the federals did agree that autism in her resulted from ...

According to research studies, bullying is among the main causes of suicide among school students. For instance, researchers reported that in 2007, approximately a third of all students aged between 12 and 18 years had experienced bullying in school. Even though bullying has been a serious problem in school, most of the bullies get away with their mistakes because victims fear to expose their actions. However, parents, teachers, and students have a role to play in the fight against bullying in school (Burroughs, 2011).
First of all, states should endorse policies that promote safe and supportive environments for students ( ...

On love, Emma makes it her point of ensuring that everyone else has a suitable suitor for them, other than herself. She is even frustrated in the instance of Harriet and Mr. Elton that she remarks; there are people, who the more you do for them the less they’ll do for themselves (Jane Austen, pg114). Her point of having a man involved in a girl’s life is for the financial benefit of it and nothing else. She reckons that when a girl has money, she does not need a man, rather a little excitement in her life. ...

The story gives some clues to understand why Diaz thinks about Yunior's motion sickness. Firstly, the father warns the mother not to feed him before the car travels. Thus, when Yunior is full driving, it is relatively higher possibility that he will vomit. Thus, his stomach is sensitive to the motion, and if his stomach is empty, he can stay without vomiting in the traveling car.
Also, in the car, Yunior tries to stay still. There might be two reasons behind this: 1) he does not want to attract his father's attention on him and 2) he wants to ...

It is not always smooth all the way at the family level when it comes to making decisions. Every family member has their interests and perceptions of life, which help them, make personal choices and decisions. The same can be said about Sonny’s Blues by James Baldwin.

The two brothers, Sonny and the narrator have different paths that they have chosen in life, just like it can happen to ...

Margaret Cezair-Thompson novel, "The True History of Paradise,” is a story about Jean Landing, a Jamaican woman who is determined to escape from her motherland of Jamaica. It is in 1981, and the country is sliding into anarchy after continuous political unrest. The author intelligently injects the storyline with the whole family background of Jean and Jamaica’s whole history. This Jamaican history stretches from the pre-Columbian days up-to-the time Jean gets on her flight. The unfolding political turmoil in her country of birth causes her to make a decision to flee immediately. Even before making her final preparations, ...

Parental separation has adverse effects on children growth and development. In part, children who witness parental conflicts and the eventual breakups develop hatred to the parents, and this may be exhibited through withdrawal signs by the child after parental re-introduction. Parental alienation is more common in modern times than it was before due to increased cases of parental divorce (Fidler & Bala 23). Children who have been alienated develop post-traumatic stress, and this has great impact during the re-unification process. Parents who separate from their children expose the young ones to extreme psychological and emotional abuse and this may lead ...

Compare and Contrast William Faulkner's Barn Burning and Shirley Jackson's The Lottery
William Faulkner and Shirley Jackson are two of the most renowned authors of the modern American literature. Despite lack of any formal unity, the works of Faulkner and Jackson share many thematic and stylistic elements. Their stories are laconic, narratives are direct, and they portray ordinary characters in seemingly mundane pursuits. The stories of our discussion ‘Barn Burning’ and ‘The Lottery’ are both very different from each other in their plot, setting, and characterization. However, in both the stories familial and social ties plays a huge ...

Shared family mealtimes are of high value to both children and parents. Such meals times create a platform through which a family shares a lot and educate each other regarding particular matters. Suppertime is an important family time because each member is likely to be present at home. That is; parents are back from work while students are back from their schools. Adolescents need much grounding of their characters hence family meal times provide the perfect avenue of instilling ethics into their behaviors. Nothing else brings a family together more than family mealtimes. Hence, much use should be made ...

The Opposing Emotions Found in Roethke's "My Papa's Waltz"
Roethke's "My Papa's Waltz" is a very brief poem, but one filled with powerful verses and a plethora of emotions. It is a poem that talks about a bedtime dance performed by a father-son duo. The poem has given birth to multiple interpretations over the years, regarding the speaker’s emotion towards his father. While some argue that the poem is about a father physically controlling or even abusing his son, some see it as an expression of love by a clumsy and rough, yet, affectionate father. However, familial ...

In the discipline of nursing, professional advancement and development models are often used as frameworks for recognizing and acknowledging nurses’ clinical expertise, especially the nurses who provide direct care to patients (Gentile, 2012). Most of the earlier models revolved around the tasks that nurses were expected to become familiar with and master as their careers progressed. However, subsequent models went beyond the element of tasks and incorporated elements of leadership, continues education and reflective practice (Gentile, 2012). One of these models is Benner’s Novice to Expert model. This model applies the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition and describes ...

A movie that tickled my curiosity is the movie Wadjda. The plot of the movie is set in Saudi Arabia, a country culturally different from the USA. The fact that Saudi Arabia is one of the most closed countries in relation to women's rights was the crucial for arousing my interest to watch this movie. The movie Wadjda was released in 2012 and it immediately occupied the interest of the public opinion about the position of women in the Middle East. The main characters of the movie are Wadjda, a young girl, and her mother who is trapped between ...

Amy Tan’s “Two Kinds” is a passionate recollection of her experience growing up in America to immigrant parents whose cultural values and beliefs are at conflict with her own. Tan explores her rebellious childhood under an overwhelming mother who appears to have planned the entire future for her daughter without even taking her opinion into account. Like many immigrants to America, Tan’s mother believes America to be the home dreams where everyone can achieve anything they want. This is depicted in the first line of the essay; “my mother believed you could be anything you wanted in ...

The mother-daughter relationship – probably one of the robust bonds of the nature, is displayed in a distorted manner in The Rocking Horse Winner of D.H. Lawrence and also Amy Tan’s ‘Two Kinds.’ Both these short stories explain how the parental-love and the relationship between the parent and children get strained. This essay attempts to explore the ways in which parental-love has been portrayed in both these short stories.

Chapter 4
In Chapter 4, Tolle explains how Ego functions through role playing. Ego wants to find a way of getting what it wants. It is always playing a role. Sometimes it might be through seeking attention, sometimes through lack of attention or even pity from others. Some will seek positive attention, and when they don’t get it, they might go for the negative attention (54).
We all have a role or function to play in the world. Some are doctors; some are counsellors, some parents, some teachers. These functions become role playing, and in some cases they ...

Jennifer Egan’s novel A Visit from the Goon Squad discusses, among other things, the passage of time, the dangers of obsolescence, and the way cultures grow and change as the years go on. Egan approaches the social trends and fads of American culture in A Visit from the Goon Squad with a jaundiced eye, allowing readers to understand the fleeting and often ignored nature of very serious problems in favor of trivia and pop culture. In the stories “Great Rock and Roll Pauses,” “Pure Language,” and “Black Box,” the environment of the Earth, as well as its culture, ...

Secondhand smoke exposure is well known for causing diseases such as lung cancer and sudden infant death syndrome among nonsmokers. Though many countries, states and cities have come up with policies mandating smoke-free public spaces, millions of children still remain unprotected from exposure to secondhand smoke in private homes. Second hand smoke is a proven carcinogen and parents should take a legal responsibility to protect their children when smoking. The law should compel behavior for those parents who do not know or even care to know the dangers of secondhand smoke to their children. Parents who smoke around their ...

The education system in California State, just like other states depends on policies enacted by the state. Today, many citizens and interested parties feel that the education system in this state does not meet the social or economic expectations. Normally, education policies define quality of education and influence directly or indirectly the lives of students, educators, employers, or parents. California State should consider revising its education policy in order to meet the expectations of the educators, students, parents, and other interested parties. Some of areas which require policy include allocation of learning resources to the students. Imperatively, the state ...

When talking about gender abortion and arguing for or against it, one must look at the issue from both sides. It is easy to say that this is gender inequality and it is the same as killing a life. However, these straight accusations are quite unfair when not all the factors are taken into consideration. There are just as many arguments for as there are against sex-selective abortion.
Some believe that any kind of abortion is equal to murder. They also underline that it is the same as a human taking another human’s life. However, when looked upon ...

The movie is interesting and educative. It shows that the wicked shall not thrive. Blood in the movie symbolizes purity as her mother wished she should have a pure heart. The dwarves said she is pure and will be going to heal the land. Blood in most fairy tales symbolizes purity of the heart. A child learns that being pure at heart is a good thing. The apple in this fairy tale symbolizes poison. It also symbolizes deceptive behavior from the beginning where William plucks the apple for Snow White, but deceptively eats it. The wicked queen gives her ...

Experts in child development and related practice hold a common view that parents should learn parental sensitivity to child behavior. The responses that parents give to their children have a significant impact on the development of the child. Interestingly, studies on the parental sensitivity project limit focus on the adolescent mothers and fathers. Parental sensitivity focuses on the response pattern to the infant’s behavior.

Shakespeare writes his play in an era where males are not accepting of women in power and authority. While the Elizabethan Age had Queen Elizabeth at the throne, many critics did not accept women in these positions readily. As a result, Shakespeare’s works reveal women in both negative and positive ways. Males controlled aspects of the society such as power and authority while women were expected to be submissive or weak and follow the orders as stipulated by these males. This submission was important to their survival in the society and within their families. During the Renaissance period, ...

Emancipation in the youths, according to most parents is not measured by the attainment of the age of 18 but rather when the individual attains a status of independence on their own, either by getting a stable job, getting married or graduating from university or college. Furthermore, parents see higher learning as a long-term investment therefore not minding the costs. However, according to Bissonnette, students should be responsible enough not to overburden their parent on the college costs, but rather work and pay off the college fees and maintenance all by themselves (Wilkinson, 2010, p. 14). This school of ...

Socialization is an aspect of human life that entails people coming together and leaving as one. There are many things that come together to form the social life of an individual.

To understand this, we must first understand the relationship between the mother and the child. Let us first analyze the personality of the mother, the Chippewa woman that the poet had reiterated.

People go through life trying to overcome various obstacles on their way to what they perceive as an aim or a better life. The path of each individual is unique and is characterised by transformation of each person in a different way. The path an individual has gone through also tells a lot about personality development and rationale for certain decisions. The aim of this essay is to examine my personality from three different psychological theories in order to explain certain features of my personality. In this context attention is paid to approaches of Freud's psychoanalysis, Alport's trait theory ...

In other words, Thomas is used the speaker of this poem to say things he was probably not able to say to his own ageing father, whose health was declining and death was impending.

A stereotype may refer to a thought that is adopted about a type of persons or a manner of working out things. This belief however, in most cases, may not reflect accurately what the reality in practice is. What is considered a stereotype in one area may not necessarily be considered a stereotype in another area. It is therefore important to note that different people have different stereotypes about different things at different moments. They may arise due to different reasons, such as a history of some repetitive events and occurrences. Normally, stereotypes reflect the expectations and beliefs about ...

Romare Bearden’s painting entitled “The Family” (1941) shows three distinct images of members of the family: the father, mother, and child. The racial or ethnic background of the family seemed to stem from the African origin due to the black color of their skins. Likewise, the images are painted from the style which was representative of the cubism style, where the figures were apparently depicted in geometric shapes. For instance, there were different images at the background which are similar to geometric shapes like the triangle, oblong, square or rectangle, and circle. A white cloth hanging just at ...

The Virgin and Child (Virgin of Paris) in Notre-Dame is a sophisticated, demure piece, as it depicts a stoic Madonna, standing in a sconce on the famous cathedral, holding her child. She wears a large, ornate crown above her head, while her toga flows modestly around her. In her right hand, she holds a goblet, while in her left arm she holds the infant Christ. Christ is depicted as looking like a small adult, as opposed to a pure infant, though his face is still cherubic and innocent. The Christ’s tiny arms are outstretched, reaching past her for ...

Response to the Question:

One strongly believes that children of divorced parents should be accorded with as much support from the nearest authoritative source possible: from both parents, despite the separation, from the nearest relatives who children are most affectionate with, and even from educators who have been duly informed of the matter. The divorce itself could be devastating for parents and children alike. As such, children, especially those in their tender ages, must be provided with holistic support in terms of ...

You: I strongly prop up that in its efforts to sell products without regard to consequences, advertising is essentially a negative influence on society. The advertisement creators come up with ads that are intended to be the most interesting and memorable. In making them memorable and interesting, they form ads that convince people into making the buying decision without considering what product or service will best satisfy their wants. In addition, in the modern society the impact of advertising forms an integral part of everyday life and in the end this negatively influences the society.

As the book Beyond Feelings stated, the emphasis has always been “on subjectivity rather than on objectivity, on feeling rather than on thought” (Ruggiero 1) – which should not be one’s way of thinking regarding the issue on a child’s educational development.
In making a critical analysis on the issue, three main factors should be considered: parents, children, and society. First, it must be realized that parents have greater influence upon their children than teachers. In a classroom, there are more than 10 students and a teacher could simply not exclusively monitor each one of them. On the ...

Alcohol consumption is endemic in the US with 80% youngsters under the age of 21 being involved in underage drinking. Despite the minimum legal drinking age set at 21, studies show that almost all the youths start drinking alcohol before crossing the threshold of 21. The trend among youngsters to drink heavily than adults is alarming. Alcohol abuse among youngsters is more prevalent than smoking tobacco or marijuana. As per the report presented by CDC, over 4,700 annual deaths occurring in the US are associated with underage drinking and more than 90% youngsters who use alcohol involve in ...

Helping of a Family

In this scenario, there are a number of perspectives that emerge. First, the parents of the child are divorced. Second, the father is the custodial parent while the mother is a non-custodial parent. Third, the mother has a drinking problem, and it is yet to stop. Finally, the patient is a child, and thus his or her decisions are dependent on parents (Spencer, 2000). In approaching this scenario, APA standards 3 and 10 would be extremely significant. Standard 3 is about human relations and subsection 3.10 is about informed consent. According to APA (2010), there is a need to ...

Once More to the Lake by E. B. White
E.B. White used different length sentences in his story Once More to the Lake. Usually the short sentences were the first sentence in a paragraph. That sentence introduced an idea.

When I was reading the descriptions I thought more about places I had been and things I have seen trying to picture the lake ...

Childhood obesity has become a serious issue in United States that requires urgent attention. This has been related with the growth of technology as well as accessibility of fast foods and snacks. The current systems in education and lifestyle changes do not allow children to participate in much outdoor activities and hence resolving to stationary activities that make them lazy and ultimately obese. One of the contributing factors in my opinion is the fact that parents have become too busy to attend to their children also makes them stressed and hence looking for other means through which they can ...
