The strain this worry can put on caregivers is reflected in the words of Laurence Sterne, “No body, but he who has felt it, can conceive what a plaguing thing it is to have a man’s mind torn asunder by two projects of equal strength, both obstinately pulling in a contrary direction at the same time.” It is often challenging for mothers and fathers to instill righteous ethics in their children while still allowing them to grow up to become self-sufficient members of society. In A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, Mama is faced with a dilemma such as this. She is caught in a

Reuven and Danny, like Abby and I, experience contrasting parenting styles through religion, education, and daily rituals, yet we all grow up into competent, full functioning young adults.

In the works of Alistair MacLeod, Alden Nowlan, and Aaron Smith, each author establishes that the difficulty within parent-child relationships is a result of the differences between adult and child mentalities. Due to vast life experience, the parental figures in all three texts possess fixed, personal notions of what is morally correct, which clashes with the growth mindset of the children and incites miscommunication in the relationship.

Over the course of an individual’s life span, one is seen forming relationships with several people in whom they find their presence an important aspect to their life. However, among these relationships, parent-child relationships are the most valuable, but also very complex.

Unfortunately, if this involvement is not present within a child’s life, it can ultimately cause them to feel neglected causing outrageous conflicts, behavior issues and emotional disputes.

Oliver Brown, an African-American parent residing in Topeka, Kansas, sent his daughter Linda Brown to an all-white school. The school rejected Linda because of her skin color so Oliver Brown filed a class action suit against the school. It was originally ruled in favor of the Topeka Board of Education but appealed to the Supreme Court in 1954. The NAACP essentially combined this suit with several other similar suits filed against their respective all-white schools in Delaware, South Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina and represented the black students in the Supreme Court case.

Christopher Maurice Brown was born May 5, 1989. He was born in Tappahannock, Virginia. He was known for his singing talent when he joined his church choir. Chris had a tough childhood. He witnessed his stepfather abusing his mother. The things he went through could relate to me in that same exact way. February 8, 2009 he brutally beat up his then-girlfriend.

Through my experiences with philanthropic work I realize the commitment it takes. I also understand the outcome and the feeling you get knowing you have been a part of something bigger than yourself. Growing up in a small town I have grown accustomed to the idea of helping others. Every year my hometown puts together a philanthropy event called DUCK Week. DUCK Week stands for Doing Unselfish Charities for Kids. It is a weeklong philanthropy event where we as a community come together and help a family in need. DUCK Week started when I was in kindergarten and has grown as I have progressed through school. When I reached my first year in high school I was really able to participate the most in DUCK Week. I was involved in several committees including finance and technology. Being a part of these committees allowed me to get in on the ground floor and assist with the moths of planning that went into DUCK Week. When I reached my senior year I was defiantly able to look back and be proud of the work we had done. At our peak we were able to raise $170,000. Philanthropy is something I have first hand experience with and I know how much the outcome can help people. That I why I fell I best fit into the

There are numerous approaches on how one will parent their child; this can include anything from permissive to authoritative parenting.

A husband and a wife that grew up in an authoritative and extremely religious household share their experience, and also how they believe this affected them. These parents that are highly religious have a deep desire to pass on to their very closely held views. For John and Tearsa Harlan, the strict and enforcing methods resulted in drifting from their parent’s religion.

In the New York Times essay, “Raising Successful Children” by Madeline Levine. Levine begins her essay by asking the reader, “ Does overparenting hurt, or help?” The problem Levine identifies is, many parents rush in too quickly, to shield their children from challenges in life. Doing so deprive them of the tools necessary to handle the inevitable, difficult, challenging and sometimes devastating demands of life. Levine believes that the optimal parent is one who is involved and responsive, who sets high expectations but respects their child’s autonomy.
