Erikson's Code Of Ethics In Middle School

From infancy to adult, people are making decisions all day long. How long to study for the upcoming test? What sport to play? What college to attend? As choices are made, often goals are set to ensure maximum potential is achieved. This process of decision-making and goal setting is overbearing shadowed by the authoritarian style of parenting.

In the article “The Shortening Leash”, which publishes in slate.com, Jessica Grose and Hanna Rosin describe the children today have much less freedom in the childhood than their parents and the possible reason why this happens. According to board surveys for asking about what parents did in their childhood and what they allow their own kids to do now indicate that childhood criterions have changed violently over a generation.

When it comes to authority figures I think my parents were trying to teach us to act with integrity and not let others think for us or tell us what to do. At first my family seemed to be deontological; when I was younger, I followed these rules because that is what I was taught to do. Today these values appear to be virtuous to me, I now do these things because it is something a good person would do and I prefer to be a good person.

Parents influence their children in very many ways. Parents encourage desired behaviors and talents while discouraging those that are undesirable not necessarily to the children, but to the parents and adults in the real world.Desired behaviors are rewarded while undesirable traits and behaviors are met with punishment of some form. Our parents taught us how to be independent and to do things for ourselves. It was an advantage in that we don 't need to depend on other people to get things done and we don 't need to wait for an opportunity.This independence taught us to work hard for ourselves and to take charge of our own education and life.

As school leaders, we have to hold the public trust and so ethics are such an important part what we do in our school. I think there are a few simple rules and one of them is always to think about what is the best benefit for our students. Our ultimate goal is to provide a safe learning environment where students are willing to learn and improve. If we keep this in our mind, we can hardly go wrong with an ethical question that we face. Ethical challenges need to be confronted with courage and compassion for those who would be impacted by difficult decisions. School leaders are responsible for setting the examples that others would wish to follow.

Authoritative parents engage in discussions and debates with their adolescent, although ultimate responsibility reside with the parent (Kroger, 2004). Research demonstrates that adolescents of authoritative parents learn how to negotiate and engage in discussions. They understand that their opinions are valued. As a result, they are more likely to be socially competent, responsible, and autonomous Authoritarian parents believe the adolescent should accept, without question, the rules and practices that they

As with most families, the parents in my house were in charge of rule creation and enforcement in my household. When my step father first moved in to our house this was a big issue. His parenting style was extremely different from what my mom and dad’s was. I was fifteen and my brother was eleven when my mom married our stepdad; it was a hard age to be making an adjustment to a whole new parenting style. Our family went from a loving environment where the children had freedom as long as they proved

Freedoms in the home vary. The freedoms given to children depend on the parents. Some parents allow children to pick out their own outfits. Other parents don’t. Some parents will pick out outfits when their child is younger, but then they might let the child decide what to wear when they get older. Other examples of freedoms include letting a child choose their own friends and letting them make plans. Many of the freedoms in the home change as the child gets older. Children may gain certain freedoms when they are a teenager, but also lose certain others. Parents also have freedoms, such as planning meals and making curfews. Parents also have the freedom to punish a child for breaking a rule, or doing something they are not supposed to. When a child breaks a rule, such as staying out past curfew, freedoms can be taken away. Maybe they can’t hang out with their friends for two weeks, or they can’t use their phone until their homework is done. Then, after a certain amount of time, they can gain these freedoms back. This can happen more than once, hence why freedom needs to

From the moment we are put into our parents’ arms, they begin to shape our identity. Our appearance, thoughts and actions are developed from them and what they believe is “right” and “wrong.” However unfair as it may seem at times, everything done is based on their past experiences, the culture we are born into and ultimately done for our own well-being.

A Code of Ethics document may outline the mission and values of the organization, how professionals are supposed to approach problems, the ethical principles based on the organization’s core values and the standards to which the professional will be held. The educator’s Code of Ethics consists of standards that all teachers should abide by at all times. For instance, standard seven states that “an educator shall comply with state and federal laws and state school board policies relating to the confidentiality of students and personal records, standardized test materials, and other information.” There are approxiamently eleven other standards listed on the Code of Ethics for Educators.

People tend to be happier when they know they they are free (Dobson 3). New adults do not want to be told what to do while they are adjusting to being independent. Trying to control an adult child will only make them angry (7). Even if the child complies with the parents’ demands, they will still feel resentful towards them (7). Parent-adult child relationships should be less about dependency and more about mutual respect and admiration (Evans 6). Contrary to some parents’ beliefs, adult children no longer need to be told what to do. They should still listen to their parents advice, but in the end the decision is their own. Learning from their mistakes will put them on the path towards

But as soon as children start feeling that their parents care too much, they try to get back at them and do just what their parents don't want them to do. On the other hand kids who face lack of freedom may end up turning into introverts afraid to speak to other people or not as social (which is not a bad thing though).

The over involvement of parents can make the child develop psychological issues. They are shown to have a higher risk of depression, anxiety, lack self-confidence, and have low self-esteem (“Helicopter Parents” Stir Up Anxiety, Depression). It is shown that no matter what parenting technique is being used, every parents goal is to build their child’s self-esteem (Rutherford). Sadly, helicopter parenting does the exact opposite. Equally important, the persons lack of self- confidence comes from the over involvement of their parents in his/her childhood activities and academics. They never experienced failure or loss because the parents were always there to step in, so they never achieved anything to build their confidence (“Helicopter Parents” Stir Up Anxiety, Depression). It is common for a child with helicopter parents to develop depression when moving from their home to

What does education mean if ethics is sacrificed for academic gains? As Aristotle once said, “educating the mind without the heart is no education at all”. Not to mention, ethics is the key in shaping moral identities in people, especially students. This essay examines the importance of teaching ethics to students and the challenges that come with it. Educating students on ethics can minimize academic misconducts, guide students to become self-reliant in decision-making and attain wisdom. Yet, less experienced teachers, ignorance towards the importance of ethics and the increasing pressure on teachers regarding students’ academic standards have become inevitable challenges in the implementation of ethics in education.

It is apparent throughout research parents have a high impact on the outcomes of adolescent emotional regulations and the behavior during adolescents (Feldman, 2011; Jabeen, Haque, & Riaz, 2013; Millings et al., 2012). Jabeen et al. (2013) states "parents play a crucial role in the social and emotional development of children" (pg.85). This part parent's play can be effected as stated above and the fluidity of parenting styles and their effects on adolescents should be observed. Through research looking at performance in school by Areepattamannil (2010), finds that supportive parenting yields higher achievement in school and is nearly as close in relationship to socioeconomic status.
