... They are particularly interested in disciplinary strategies because abuse most commonly occurs when the parent wants the child to comply. "It's a question of trying to determine which type of parent produces which type of child or which type of child elicits which type of parental behaviour," explains Oldershaw. As a result of their work, Walters and Oldershaw have identified distinct categories of abusive parents and their children. 'Harsh/intrusive' mothers are excessively harsh and constantly badger their child to behave. Despite the fact that these mothers humiliate and disapprove of their child, there are times when they hug ...
... the animals are forced to consume substances such as perfume, make-up and other beauty products and are often literally poisoned, their systems literally overloaded by the substance in question. Another testing method is the Lethal Dose 50 percent test or LD50. In this procedure at least half of the animals must die in order for the government to figure out how much a human can ingest without dying. In one such test some animals were fed 4. lb. of lipstick and one ended up dying of intestinal obstruction. In another, 7 pints of melted eye shadow was fed to rats. In yet another, mice were wrapped in tin foil and grilled in ultraviolet light to test a sun block c ...
... some form of income, one cannot pay his or her bills or take care of those they care for most. These needs fall within Maslow's primary levels of hierarchy. Motivation exists for money because money satisfies these basic needs. Because of this money is a good overall motivator, but its main role is to induce people to do the work for which they were initially hired. According to management theorist Frederick Herzberg, fair salaries are considered a 'hygiene' factor of the workplace (Neslon, 1996). Other 'hygiene' factors include adequate workspace, temperature control, and office equipment (Nelson, 1996). These factors provide the means for employees to ...
... equality" with people, we wish to deny what we really are and allow for superficialness. We become so obsessed with our possessions that we forget who we are and the beauty of our differences. Aristole said that "it is unjust to treat unequal things equally". All people are different, that is exactly what makes us human, so when we treat people entirely the same, we deny their identity. For example that does not mean that I should not treat all people with respect, but I feel that even that may differ depending on who you are and how I am related to you. For instance, I will not give a stranger the same amount of respect that I might give my mother or f ...
... career women, while raising a family at the same time. Despite the fact that women have the job of raising their family, many women also have full time careers because the extra income is often needed in the family. Some men criticize women for trying to act too much like men, but women are being forced by society to move between the traditional definitions of male and female roles, because of the many different tasks they have to carry out from day to day. For example, in order for women to enter the “male” world of work, they have to obtain “masculine” traits and leave their “feminine” traits at home. Bearing children is expected in today's so ...
... as Americans is education. Many students drop out of school early. Many of the rest graduate knowing less math, science, and history than other industrialized nations. Illiteracy rates are high, and more and more students are graduating from school even if they have been absent more days than allowed. To improve this, committees have been organized will develop voluntary national and state standards for education and authorize grants to develop model programs to improve learning. Employment is an issue that every American must deal with. In society today, women are forcing their way into the business world. Although females' incomes are generally less than mal ...
... is raised to believe something. No religion is wrong. Any person could argue that another religion is wrong. So if you tell someone that they are believing the wrong thing, they could same to you. No religion is wrong. Reverse discrimination is also wrong. It isn't a person's fault that people of their race and sex usually get a brake. Reverse discrimination is still discrimination, and all discrimination is wrong. All discrimination is the same. No one should discriminate against another ever. Especially if I it is to bring them self up. I hope that all people will learn to go about things in a peaceful way. So many people have died in the past because s ...

... - to sell. To acheive this goal, advertises are willing to stretch and distort the truth, just to convincing people to buy their product. For example, an advertiser may convince buyers to purchase their product by stating that has been tested and found superior. In reality, the product is not likely to be beter than any other - the tests themselves doubtlessly conducted by the promoting company - conducted to ensure at least something is superior about the product, even if it is only the colour. These advertisments are worded carefully so that they are telling the "literal truth" - the truth is exactly what the words say, although people misinterperete the ...
... part of a gang by making it all sound glamorous. Money is also an crucial factor. A kid (a 6-10 year old, who is not yet a member) is shown that s/he could make $200 to $400 for small part time gang jobs. Although these are important factors they are not strong enough to make kids do things that are strongly against their morals. One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom. Since nobody can completely turn off their minds, kids must be learning something while watching the TV. Very few hours of te ...
