To properly nurture the children, parents must first realize they are on loan by God. “You must view your children as a stewardship from God. That is, they have been placed into your life by God so that you can raise them according to His principles to do His will when they are old enough to understand what that is” (Stanley, 1986, p.32). Personally, this should begin with teaching them the Ten Commandments and a healthy fear of the Lord (see Ex. 20:1-26).
Next, children should know about unconditional love, “See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason, the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him just as He is” (I John 3:1-2 NASB). This is where there is a conflict

They see nothing wrong with it. “Sex before marriage isn’t much of a worry if you live in a society where people get married shortly after they become sexually mature” (Seidensticker, 2013, para. 1) Secular viewpoint: The secular world thinks of many things as disposable. A fetus is one of those things. They do not believe an unborn fetus is a living being. Hence, if a woman has an unwanted pregnancy the secular world has made it legal and the woman’s right to abort the unborn fetus. Secular viewpoint: Much of the secular world no longer believes in corporal punishment, such as, spanking. Many think it harms the child. Almost all the public schools have removed corporal punishment from the schools unless the parent signs a consent form. Secular viewpoint: “In 1970, 28% of primary-school-age children in the world were not attending school, today this share has decline to 9%- equivalent to 60 million children not in primary education as the first visualization below shows” (Roser & Ortiz-Ospina, 2017,
The conflict is found in whether abortion alines with the morals but in secular humanism’s standards. Humanism means that man, not God, is the center of the universe; he is the measure of all things, of truth and error, right and wrong, good and bad. But man is not consistent and if truth is based of the majority opinion then morals will constantly change and contradict. Man can manipulate law and science to agree with him and with no divine consequence or judgement this ideology allow for a 51% opinion to change even its own moral premise to please its people. As Francis Schaeffer said in his book How Should We Then Live, “if there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” It is not that secular humanists morals are askew but that the confines of their morals are non
Before I begin let me explain what corporal punishment is and the controversy that has in sued in recent moths over it. Corporal punishment is the use of spanking, whipping that is not abusive. Recently though people have been harboring a more hostile view of corporal punishment regarding it as solely abuse at the slightest mention of spanking a child.
But according to, the guardian (2010), "there are about 70 million children who don't get an education.” ("70 million children get no education says report”n.d. para 1)
There are many people that believe that spanking children is just a part of discipline and it depends on where you hit and how hard you hit these children. Most parents just try to make their children learn so, if they have done something wrong they get to see what kind of discipline they get most of the time they are either getting spanked or the get grounded but most of the time they are being spanked because they don’t have most to go off of . Most of the world has an opinion on how to discipline their own child. To most parents the discipline that they give their child is just to grind the kids more then they spank there kids.
Despite there being support for some of the short and long-term benefits of corporal punishment, there is plenty of opposition to corporal punishment for a variety of reasons. Starting as early as the 1960s, corporal punishment has been said to be “unacceptably degrading punishment” (Lenta 2012: 692), “harsh discipline” (Mayer and Blome, 2013: 145) and psychologically distressing (McLloyd et. al 2007:166).
Religion is a key factor in the control of morality in the society today. Within the various religious circles, continuously debated whether a fetus is a living being. The main argument is on when or at what stage does the state and religion consider a fetus to be a living being. Some religions argue against the state with the point that a fetus is not a living person. The arguments on the morality of abortion are often based on the religious beliefs.The pro -life supporters also argue that
While courts continue to rule that spanking is okay, and schools are still using it as a measure of punishment in many areas of the county there are millions of Americans who protest the use of corporal punishment as a means to control or teach children lessons. For those who are against spanking they use the argument that it is assault on a child. Any form of hitting even a swat on the butt is an assault on a human being and should. “Most parents feel strongly for or strongly against spanking. Their positions are mainstays of their basic approaches to their children. At my town meetings and presentations, parents often split and oppose one another as they defend
Raising kids today is very hard. Most of the time, youngsters today form their set of beliefs from diverse resources like their buddies, the internet, television or from almost anybody they see every day. To raise a kid with a superb set of values you'll really need an effective nurturing ability or two. If you are having troubles raising your kid, below are some suggestions that can direct you.
Approximately 75 million children around the world have no opportunity to attend primary school. Of the 75 million, most of them are girls due to tradition or parents that hold them back from attending ("Main Navigation"). Other factors that affect children from going to school is because of conflicts and wars that result in schools to be destroyed and families to flee the country. Lack of education is a growing crisis due to many factors in developing countries but it has the power pull a country out of poverty and make them economically stable and attract other countries to trade, therefore it should be seen as a priority. Developed countries are involved to help countries increase their education because every child should have the
The side that is against spanking and physical punishment believe there are psychological effects behind this type of punishment. Many believe that it can lead to the child being an abuser both to their partner and child in the future. There is also a belief that the child will suffer from mental illness and develop issues with security and trust. This is due to the fact that someone that the child loves is hurting them, and they are not able to develop relationships that involve trust and security. Additionally, another reason people believe that spanking is wrong is that of it ill then teaches them it is okay to physically harm someone because they are learning this violent behavior. However, a good way to discipline a child without physically harming them would be to encourage positive behavior and use consequences like taking away privileges to control their
“Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future” proclaimed former United States president John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Since children will shape the future, education is there to shape them. Education enables learning, interaction, and development. Education is available all over the global and each country has a different system for schooling. In comparison, the United States spends more on education than any other country, estimated at $809.6 billion by University of Southern California. Since the Unites States spends the highest amount on education, most would make the implication that the United States is the leading education system around the world. This is false. As expressed in the article
Approximately 125 million children in the world do not attend school, limiting future opportunities for the children
In other countries children not educated and sometimes they are not literate. Education is a big deal in children’s lives because without education, children will grow up and not have the skills they need to get a job to support themselves. Even though the dramatic improvements over the decade, progress towards better
80% of them are in developing countries and nine out of ten of them do not attend school. 11% of all children in the world are working instead of learning due specifically to child laboring practices, but also to help support the family and bring in income (“Ten Reasons Why Children…”). However, if this is not the case, it is still a hassle to come up with the money to pay school fees, buy uniforms, and school supplies. The average cost of education per student increased from $3,400 in 1965 to $8,745 in 2001 and almost 70% of families removed certain schools as a choice because of costs compared to the 58% who did so in 2008 (“Fewer Parents Can Pay...”). By reducing the cost for a parent to send their child to school, the benefits of schooling become more prevalent and most parents will choose a better future for their children and send them to school. After abolishing school fees in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, enrollment increased from 3.4 million to 5.7 million students in Uganda in 1996; from 5.9 million to 7.2 million in Kenya in 2003; and from 1.5 million to 3 million in Tanzania in 2002 all within the first year (“The Case For…”).
The law of the learner states that as a teacher, we accept the responsibility of causing our students to learn. We should give all that we can to ensure that our students understand the content being taught, how to apply it and why it is being taught. Because I am responsible as the teacher, it is important that I pray and seek God’s guidance before I ever bring the lesson to the class. I need to research my passage and the surrounding content to ensure that I understand the correct context before I share this with the students. I need to be able to apply my passage, 1 John 3:16-18 to my life before I can teach this passage to my students. If my students fail to learn that this passage is about the showing the action of love, then I have failed to teach them.
