There are several factors which influence a child grows up and matures. One of the most important factors is a child’s safety. Children need guidance and need to learn right from wrong as they grow up. Parental supervision is a key to child development because it is going to teach children things that will last the children a lifetime and can possibly protect them from making the wrong choice. It is so important that parents monitor their children to a certain extent. Living in a day and age where there is so much technology and it is so easily accessible, it is so important that parents are guiding their children to do the right thing and to make sure that their children aren’t engaging in acts that may harm them. Technology plays an …show more content…
The company LimeWire was a file sharing website where people could download music for free in the matter of seconds. I remember getting home from school, going on my laptop and downloading music. I was stealing this music and the money that should be going to the artists, and I didn’t even realize. This was my fault because I hid it from my parents but if my parents were monitoring my internet use, I would’ve gotten caught and I would have stopped. Fortunately I never got caught or in trouble, but other people were. Some people I knew even got into trouble with the law and got fined. This could all be avoided if parents were monitoring their children’s internet. After LimeWire was seized, I remember reading about in the paper and learning about what happened and how much they were fined. When I read online how much they were being sued I was shocked. I was young, but I knew the value of money. They were being sued for up to 75 trillion dollars (IBTimes). This is the amount of money that was lost due to this website. My culture and the people who were around me, robbed this much money. This was a learning experience and it teaches you not to ever do it again, but with parental guidance, you will learn from parents instead of your mistake. Nowadays it is important to be stricter and to see what your children are searching. It is so easy for them to come across inappropriate sites or to find themselves talking to a stranger. Being that music is a part of
When parents understand how their child responds to certain situations, they can anticipate issues that might be problematic for their child. They can prepare the child for the situation or in some cases they may avoid a potentially difficult situation altogether. Parents who know how to adapt their parenting approach to the particular temperament of their child can best provide guidance and ensure the successful development of their child's personality.
While children are influenced by many things, there are no stronger influences than that of their parents. Parents are usually their children’s first playmates, and while there world expands with each passing year, parental influence is still one of the greatest factors in determining the ways in which the child will grow and develop.
General Zarroff demonstrates his deep love for hunting when he says, “My whole life has been one prolonged hunt”(6). Richard Connell gives the reader a vivid description of the antagonist’s pursuit in his short story “The Most Dangerous Game”. While Zarroff is seeking his objective, the reader engages in Rainsford’s fear. This connection builds a feeling of terror at the heart of the story. Connell applies these concepts by wrapping his story in an aura of uncertainty. In order to create this suspense, Connell utilizes imagery and diction in “The Most Dangerous Game”.
Harlan Coben, in the article “The Undercover Parent” (2008), explains that in order to keep kids safe on the internet, parents should download spyware on their computers and phones. Coben supports his claim by first illustrating the different dangers there are on the internet by creating fear and then providing examples of different stories his friends have told him about their children on the internet. The author’s purpose is to persuade the parents of teens to download spyware on their kid’s computers so that they can make sure their kids are safe and responsible while online. Coben writes in a persuasive tone for the parents of teenagers to convince them that downloading spyware is the responsible thing to do. While I agree with Coben’s argument on downloading spyware on children’s computers, his lack of solid evidence weakens his chances of
Children don't really know a lot and so they are curious about lots of things and they can end up in danger. Young children should be supervised all the time. In elementary schools there is a supervisor when the children are outside playing or eating when they aren't in class learning. Watching over kids is something that every parents should do and make should that their kid is safe and out of danger.
2.1 Explain how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of personal factors
“At first, citizens across the world enthusiastically supported their countries. Men raced to sign up for military service, eager to get involved before the action would be over. New recruits marched off to war cheered by crowds of well-wishers. Anywhere a crowd would gather, be it a soccer match or a church service, military recruiters could be found. Signing up young men – and later, women – to serve their countries” (T. Pendergast and S. Pendergast 2).
Parents have a reason to be afraid. In this age, youngsters can casually hop online and quickly find an easy recipe on how to make their favorite deadly explosive, many schools now have metal detectors at the doors to prevent armed students from massacring their peers, drugs flow freely down suburban streets, and children have unprecedented access to. . . . .video games?
The myth of Aconyte exists from 1500 Before Christ and it was an explanation of the revenge especially the love revenge. This explanation was used also by the Greek people to justify the aconite origin.
The question then became “Just because we can get the music we want without paying for it, should we?” (Tyson, 2000, p.1). This issue of illegal downloads, which is also referred to as piracy, has been a hot topic ever since the introduction of Napster. According to Recording Industry Association of America “In the decade since peer-to-peer (p2p) file-sharing site Napster emerged in 1999, music sales in the U.S. have dropped 47 percent, from $14.6 billion to $7.7 billion” (RIAA, 2014).
“Before the days of YouTube and the Internet, a band 's chances of striking it big depended on record companies. If a band was lucky enough to get a record deal, it gained access to a label 's vast resources and connections. The company paid for the band 's studio time, … and got its music played on the radio, reaching millions of record buying Americans” (Majerol, 1). Now, anyone with talent can post a video of themselves and become an internet sensation, only to then receive a deal with a label to continue growing their career. The issue is, with the Internet came digital downloading, and with the growing popularity of digital downloading came illegal downloading, known as Digital Piracy, which has affected the music industry greatly. This issue affects everyone involved in the Music Industry. From the small CD store owner to the Artist on stage, everyone has and continues to be affected by the growing popularity of digital downloading services. Artists, producers, and songwriters lose an estimated 12.5 Billion USD every year to illegal digital music services. Further, the economic impact from [digital downloading] is an estimated loss of 2+ Billion USD (Storrs, 1). This money affects the “little guys” in the industry and the average worker within the industry.
Like you, I also recall going on sites like Limewire to listen to music. Truthfully, at that time, I didn't see the harm in it. It wasn't until I heard about the RIAA suing the college kids when I understood the seriousness of piracy. I remember having discussions with people about this and recall that some would say, the downloading of the music was the equivalent of trying something on before you buy it. I suppose that some people may look at it like this but surely the RIAA was not. Also, according to "The Conversation", "although piracy negatively affects the recorded music industry, it has a positive impact on other areas such as live music"(2014). Somme may say that piracy drives the consumer to purchase tickets to see these artists live
We all know that downloading pirated music and films is illegal, but what exactly is it? The term piracy refers to the copying and selling of music, films and other media illegally; in other words you are copying and selling copyrighted media without the permission of the original owner (NiDirect, n.d.). With the massive growth of the internet and its ability to store and capture vast amounts of data, we have become much more reliable on information systems in all aspects of life, but it does not come without the risk of information technology being used unethically. With the number of IT breakthroughs in recent years “the importance of ethics and human values has been underemphasised” often resulting in various consequences. Not surprisingly one of the many public concerns about the ethical use of IT is that “millions of people have downloaded music and movies at no charge and in apparent violation of copyright laws at tremendous expense to the owners of those copyrights” (Reynolds, Ethics in Information Technology, 2015). This essay covers the ethical issues of downloading pirated music and films and the impact it has on music corporations and recording and film companies.
The current generation of children is completely different than the preceding ones. They are living in the digital age. “Technology has blended in with daily activity to become a way of life and children today take for granted all of which is automated. It is hard for kids nowadays to imagine a world that existed without all of the gadgets, electronics and seamless operations that computer technology provides.” (3) “Children in the United States devote some 40 hours a week to television, video games and the Internet.” (12) Many psychologists and researchers are concerned about the impact that technology has on children. Children, tomorrow’s future parents and leaders, are being consumed by the negative effects that technology had on their
Parents put maturity demands on youth. Parent use their authority to keep children safe and guide children’s choice. At the same time, also listen to children’s point of view to encourage their input on activity choices within specific bounds.
