The right and wrong clip draws a conclusion to the fact that children look up to their parents to learn and follow in their footsteps. When parents focus on less important morals, their children tend to not know the difference between good and “bad”. I quoted bad because I personally believe that no child should be labeled as bad because they are growing seeds and learning from their surroundings. If their surroundings are not a positive surrounding, then they could pick up bad habits. For example: in the beginning of the video, one of the children’s mothers told her that if a child is hitting her at school and she has told the teacher and it is continuing to happen, to hit him back. Surprisingly the child told her mother “No mommy, I will …show more content…
He is one that stood out the most to me. Tyrese is the youngest and only boy in his family. His mother has raised him up to live the expectations that she expects for him. She thinks that because he is a black boy, he is going to have trouble in life and possibly end up in trouble. She raised him to be tough minded and aggressive. The problem here is that Tyrese’s mother is not being open to racial differences. Children are harmless. Yes, they ask questions as to “Why is he a different color than me?” but they all need to learn that every child is different. Tyrese is a very loving child, but gets aggressive when things do not go as he planned. His mother is raising him and his sisters as a single parent and overall she understands the concept, but is she doing what is most beneficial for Tyrese? Another child that is focused on is one who is brought up in a Buddhist household. This child is very religious and knows that he shall never harm another. His parents are bringing him up to their strong values and beliefs, making it hard for him to live up to. A major problem I saw with this child is that he is not being socialized and rather sight watch for birds, than have social interaction. Bird watching is a great hobby to have, but socialization is a must have for all young
Malcolm Little as a child, was a student with so much potential to become a successful and happy individual with a healthy career and family. He had very inspired, motivated parents and the healthy example they set for Malcolm deeply impacted his outlook on life early on. This outlook began to change based on events that accumulated into Malcolm’s hatred of white people. His life dramatically changed when his mother emotionally and mentally broke down after her boyfriend left her (later, following her husband’s death). The combination of such tragedies Malcolm experienced and the prevalence of racism in his life drastically altered Malcolm’s goals and aspirations for himself and led him to believe that he wasn’t worth a successful life because
Atticus wanted to have responsible kids who are not not racist. Also later in the book at christmas Scout and her cousin Francis get in a fight because he called Atticus a “nigger lover”. 12. The parenting style of Atticus is that he tries to be a role model. He doesn’t judge people by there skin, trying to set an example so his kids won’t judge blacks.
The majority of the times, the children decide to express evil thoughts
He starts to fully understand racism as his father starts to defend tom Robinson
By being fair to everyone Atticus meets, he shows his children how to be intelligent, well rounded people. In the town where Atticus and his children live, the town is clearly cut in half between black people and white people. Scout and Jem do pick up on the racism around the town, but Atticus teaches them what’s right and what’s wrong. When Scout asks Atticus if he’s a ‘nigger lover’ he responds with "I certainly am.
Wes 2 had a mom who tried to have an authoritative parenting style where she gave love and discipline, but because of their unfortunate circumstances she could not get control of Wes 2 and her parenting style was essentially uninvolved. On the other hand, Wes 1 went to military school where he was given many authoritative mentors, such as Captain Hill, who gave discipline and guidance (Moore, 97). Children who go through an uninvolved parenting style are the least likely to fit society’s norms, while kids who go through an authoritative parenting style are more likely to fit society’s norms (Textbook, 427). These different upbringings could be why Wes 1 is an outstanding citizen and Wes 2 is in jail right
In the article “The Talk: After Ferguson, a Shaded Conversation About Race”, Canedy narrates this discussion with her son. She begins by giving a portion of their conversation about how race plays into their lives, and how he needs to address the police. Canedy and her son are both African-Americans. Her son, Jordan, has much lighter skin than she does, prompting him to ask the
“Younger children witness the disputes of older children which are often resolved through cursing and abusive talk, if not aggression or out-right violence. ,” (105) This socialization of children by their elders who are living by the “code of the streets,” creates a continuation of the code. Not every child that grows up learning this as a way of life will ultimately end up continuing to live by this code but enough do continue to live this way that this
Housing is another issue African American mothers have to deal with especially having a low income. It is hard for single African American mother to afford and provide 3 meals for her children. It wouldn’t be a smart decision to stay in a place where she can’t afford the rent. Studies show that low-income neighbors set such an impact with the child’s mind set he or she will adapt behaviors from that community. Children learn what they see and if they witness crime, violence and drugs they tend to walk on that path.
Not just the safe ones such as Will Smith but all of the tough thug rappers. Kids see these images all the time and may begin to dress like them or speak like them. They glamorize the lifestyles but do not truly understand what they may be saying or doing. Sometimes they may try to act tougher than they really are in the presence of others to gain their own confidence. For the most part this can be controlled.
I am a strong believer that yes you can be whatever you want regardless or race or ethnicity or beliefs but as a mother you are suppose to let your children figure things out as they go. Then you have the James Baldwin story about Sonny Blues. Sonny was is the youngest of their family. After his mother mother and father died he found himself into drugs and doing all the wrong things in life except his music.
The children, not that they asked for it, are dealt the bad hand by fate. It is up to them to decide what to do about it or even to do anything at
The fact is, everyone has their own set of morals and style of parenting. While some parents choose to shelter their children from all forms of violence, lust, and crudeness, other parents wish to expose their children to these real-world concepts. Hopkins also states that “Ignorance is no armor.” The latter statement can be seen through Crutcher’s point
Firstly, Huh and Reid (2000) argue that talking about adoption and having racial discussions at home is beneficial for the adoptee. Their argument is supported by Liow (1994) who contends that children’s knowledge of their racial and cultural roots is important in forming their personal identities and such knowledge should be conveyed in a manner that coincides with the children’s understanding ability. Secondly, parents should teach their child how to cope with racial discrimination. Studies have shown that the inability to cope with discrimination will result in the child being unable to deal with racism in a way that protects their self-esteem and positive racial identity (Butler-Sweet, 2011). There are also other protective factors like children’s involvement in cultural activities, parents having friends or colleagues who are of the child’s race, being in racially integrated schools and living in a multi-cultural neighbourhood (Huh & Reid, 2000; Liow, 1994; Robinson,
I. Introduction A. P. J. O 'Rourke once said “Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them” (O’Rourke, Pg.10). Parents always want their children to be better than what they used to be when they were at their age; that is why they care about every detail in their children’s life especially when it comes to behavior, obeying them and listening to their words. B. Background Information: i. People came to realize that physical punishment is a rough, atrocious, unacceptable mean of punishment that should be banned for its appalling, horrifying effects. ii.
