Why Is Hate Important In Children

292 Words2 Pages

I believe parents are influential in their child’s early language development. Using the word hate is unnecessary, and often damaging to their intellectual growth. The word itself is just that, a redundant word. However, the power it carries by simply using it can be destructive. Many times, it is used thoughtlessly and leaves a lasting impression on the individual.
Before a child begins pre-school, they‘re in constant care of parents and family members. In most cases, children grasp adult behaviors because they depend on them. So, whatever that child hears or see, they are most likely to do it as well.
For example, parents go on a playdate with their children. The kids are playing a fun game of checkers. Suddenly, you’re friend 's son becomes extremely angry as a result of him losing the game. He goes on to say he doesn’t want to play anymore and then scream "I hate him”. It can be appalling when the word hate referring to a friend is used. …show more content…

It is a logical human emotion but can lead to all kinds of negativity. It harms not only the person who hates but also the children who has them as role models. When people have a hateful nature, it can spread like an infection. It’s as powerful as the feeling of love.
In conclusion, as children develop their ability to use language, they take in the understanding of social situations and learn how to control their actions. If a hateful word is spoken frequently, it can begin to sink into the child’s mind. The word hate should not be thrown around lightly, preferably not at

  • A Rhetorical Analysis Of 'Slurring Perspectives' By Elisabeth Camp

    However, Jeshion maintains that “Upon learning why the speakers made the utterance (of a slur), a hearer may well, and indeed perhaps ought to have a less intense response than if the utterance was made by a bigot whose aim it was to express his bigoted attitudes.” While his example of a child not understanding the offensiveness of a term is understandable in this context, I am wary of the example of “a user (who) may entirely lack contempt for the group and understand that the word is conventionally used to convey attempt but use it nevertheless” (Jeshion 249). While this may be acceptable in the case of authors writing on the subject of slurs, I am not sure that it is acceptable generally speaking. I have to wonder if using the slurring term, even without contempt, is still perpetuating the usage of the word. It is here that camp’s explanation of slurs containing derogatory perspectives is relevant: if a slurring term contains a derogatory perspective, that perspective is there and expressed regardless of the speaker’s intent.

  • Jonathan Rauch's In Defense Of Prejudice

    In Jonathan Rauch’s article In Defense of Prejudice, Rauch gives a compelling argument as to why people prejudicial talk should not be diminished. In agreement with Salman Rushdie: "without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist,” Rauch believes society should not be seeking ways to end this type of speech. This is because taking it away would cause a regression in society’s development. Instead, all should come to terms with the idea that with freedom of speech; comes unwanted opinions. I strongly agree with the viewpoint Jonathan Rauch presented in his article; it is upon all of us to stop pointing fingers and calling each other bigots because they do not fit into our molds of right and wrong.
