...doesn’t get along, they do not understand each other and their needs. Violet struggle for getting some love and attention from her parent, but her parent do not understand her signals. Religion is one the main themes of this short story, Violets parents is true Christian, and believe in their priest’s advice. The main character in the short story is Violet, she is a very honest and quiet little girl, but she knows what’s going on around her. Violet loves, like every other child, when she gets attention from adults and especially their parents. She is very curious about everything, there is going on. An example is when Violet and her family are in the church, and Violet suddenly notices a very beautiful woman on the wall. She gets all Violets attention. Afterwards Violet starts to admire this woman, and everywhere she goes, this beautiful woman is too. Violet doesn’t know that it is the Virgin Mary, she saw. One day the Virgin Mary also is on the front page of her father’s newspaper, yet with a little baby boy in her arms. When Violet sees that, she gets so angry and jealous. I think she feels in some way that this woman was her “mother”, it was Violet she should love and not that baby boy, who is Jesus, she feels Jesus takes Maria from her. It is the same with other little kids; they do not want to share their mother with anybody, and definitely not with other kids. Maybe the Virgin Mary is this mother Violet really misses, a mother who looks at her, where she can feel the love...

...Do we have the right to choose whether a person lives or dies? Does it make it the right thing to do if a diagnosis of a fetal abnormality is introduced? These are choices that many couples face on a daily basis after getting their baby tested for deformities. In this paper, a woman’s struggle with the diagnosis of her baby having Down’s syndrome will be examined; both her option of abortion and exploring other possibilities besides abortion. Ethical Dilemma Susan is a woman of integrity. She has a successful career and decides to incorporate a family into her plan. After trying for several years, she finally gets pregnant. This is a life event which should be exciting for most women, but after testing hers came with news that her baby has Down’s syndrome. Knowing her desire to keep a healthy balance between work and family, the doctors urge Susan to get an abortion, but she is uncomfortable with the suggestion. Susan seeks out advice from Richard, a professor of evolutionary biology, who spent his career trying to minimize human suffering. When the final question came up, should Susan abort her baby, Richards’s response was yes. His defense was that human beings should increase happiness and decrease suffering. In Richard’s explanation, there will be lifelong suffering for both Susan, as the baby’s caretaker, and her child with Down’s syndrome. He believes it to be immoral and should not be allowed to take place. Richard emphasizes that it is ultimately Susan’s...

...Effects and Solution of over population Having babies is a hope of most of the parents. In the past, our parents though that their son or daughter should have as many children as possible. However, this advice is not good because it can lead to a social problem called over population. Over population is a condition in which too many people for the environment. This paper analyses the effects and solutions of over population. Over population can cause a variety of negative effects. Firstly, the natural environment may be destroyed. Land is said account for only ¼ of the Earth’s surface. It means the space both for people and food growth is limited. However, with a huge number of people, consequently the Earth cannot support human anymore. The result is people have to cut down the forest to supply more space and they often use fire to do this business. This action can produce smoke and carbon dioxide. In addition, since the forests are depleted, there will have no enough trees to refresh the atmosphere or transfer oxygen from carbon dioxide. These can result in air pollution. Furthermore, loss of the biodiversity results from the direct impacts on wild animals’ habitat. Secondly, the social benefit is degraded. There are too crowed and so the city cannot sustain the necessities for its resident such as medical care, education and water and food supply. Another point is that crime in developing countries can be stem from over population. The more there are too many people,...

...The novel centers upon the Ogata family of Kamakura, and its events are witnessed from the perspective of its aging patriarch, Shingo, a businessman close to retirement who works in Tokyo. Although only sixty-two years old at the beginning of the novel, Shingo has already begun to experience temporary lapses of memory, to recall strange and disturbing dreams upon waking, and occasionally to hear sounds heard by no one else, including the titular noise which awakens him from his sleep one night, "like wind, far away, but with a depth like a rumbling of the earth." Shingo takes the sound to be an omen of his impending death, as he had once coughed up blood (a possible sign of tuberculosis) a year before, but had not sought medical consultation and the symptom subsequently went away. Although he does not outwardly change his daily routine, Shingo begins to observe and question more closely his relations with the other members of his family, who include his wife Yasuko, his philandering son Shuichi (who, in traditional Japanese custom, lives with his wife in his parents' house), his daughter-in-law Kikuko, and his married daughter Fusako, who has left her husband and returned to her family home with her two young daughters. Shingo realizes that he has not truly been an involved and loving husband and father, and perceives the marital difficulties of his adult children to be the fruit of his poor parenting. To this end, he begins to question his secretary, Tanizaki Eiko, about his...

...day of school one of the first things kids do is go and make friends. Friends are there for you through the good times and the bad. They are always there for you to give you advice when you need it or you do not. For example, in “Romeo and Juliet” during act one scene two line one hundred Benvolio says, “But let your eyes compare her to another beautiful woman who I’ll show you at this feast and you will not think she is the best anymore.” Benvolio says this because he notices that Romeo fell in love with Rosaline so quickly and he was worried that he is not really in love with her so he suggests that he goes to the party to mingle with some other girls to see if he likes them better because he does not make the wrong decision. Another example of friendship is between Nurse and Juliet in act two scene five line 47. The nurse says, “Lord, what a headache I’ve got! It feels like it'll break into twenty pieces. My back aches to (Juliet rubs her back) Ohh, on the other side my poor aching back! Cures your heart for sending me running all over town. I could get sick and die.” Juliet replies, “Believe me I’m sorry you are in pain.” The Nurse is one of Juliet's only friends. She is there for her as her nurse but also their for some friendly teasing. Friends are there for you most of the time when you need advice but your parents and parental figures will always be there to support and love...

...Keith Garber, a nine months pregnant woman is scared of the experiences she is undergoing and the uncertainty of her future that she faces (Villalobos, 165). In her uncertainty she approaches her friends for advice even after acquisition of knowledge on what to expect when expecting a child. Her act shows how in her own insecurities and effort of trying to secure her child’s future, she faces the fear of responsibility over her child. This can be attributed to her fear of the events that may happen during or after childbirth, she is uncertain of her ability to undergo the labor process, she is scared of the possibility of her baby being mentally or physically challenged and she is generally scared of her motherhood future. Most women in the recent years are delaying or not having a child at all as they are afraid of losing their liberty and taking responsibility over a new life. These women living their lives pursuing their own goals are said to be liberated. The threat of getting committed to their partners and their children and taking over responsibility of nurturing new life to their life of freedom to choose and pursuit of their goals in exchange to focus...

...Christianity became legal in 313A.D. and the anti-abortion stance remained. The Roman Catholic Church believes, and teaches that life begins at conception. Whereas, Jewish law (Halacha) defines when a fetus becomes a person ..."a baby becomes a full-fledged human being when the head emerges from the womb." The Jewish belief does not neatly fit "pro-life" or "pro-choice" The Roman Catholic Church says that deliberately causing an abortion is a grave moral, this is based on the doctrine on natural law and on the written word of God (Christianity and Abortion. Web.). The church says that human life begins at conception and that each new life that begins at this point is not just a possible human being, but a human being with potential. Since the sixteenth century having or causing an abortion led to automatic excommunication. Excommunication is putting someone out of communion, it may involve banishment, shunning or even shaming (Christianity and Abortion. Web.). This is stated in the Code of Canon Law (1983). Judaism does not forbid abortion. However, abortion is only permitted for serious reasons. Judaism expects every case to be considered on its own merits and the decision to be made after a consultation with a rabbi, who is able to give advice on such matters (Judaism and Abortion. Web.). We see many different reasons for "serious reasons". Strict Judaism permits abortion only in cases where the pregnancy puts the mother's life in danger, because the mother's life is more...

...security and independence, these women also try to utilize the friendship security strategy to manage their insecurities over the responsibility of parenting. In chapter 6, the friendship strategy is examined. We are first introduced to Katie Garber, a woman who is nine months pregnant and is expressing her concerns about her entry into motherhood. The experiences she is undergoing and her concerns about what her life will be like once her child is born. (Villalobos, 168). In her uncertainty she approaches her friends for advice even after acquisition of knowledge on what to expect when expecting a child. Katie’s behavior shows how in her own insecurities and effort of trying to secure her child’s future, she faces the fear of responsibility over her child. This can be attributed to her fear of the events that may happen during or after childbirth. She is apparently uncertain of her ability to undergo the labor process, and is fearful of the possibility that her baby might be born with the challenges of being physically or mentally disabled. Overall, Katie is generally scared of what the motherhood experience is going to bring. Throughout the years, there has been a decline in the rates in which women are having children. Women are at a much older age when the have their first child or they are deciding not to have children at all. More women are afraid of losing their liberty and taking on the responsibilities that come with being a new mom. Women are more liberated by pursuing...

...Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare a lot of violent and scary things happen, but the characters somehow find a way, in the midst of the chaos, to find that happiness. Shakespeare focuses on the power of love to capture the attention of his audience. This love leads to things all throughout the play to come across as much different than suspected and end up defying stereotypes. Shakespeare uses characterization, visual motifs and dialogue to convey this theme that things aren’t always what they seem. The first way that Shakespeare conveys this theme to his audience is through showing the thoughts on marriage from Capulet and Lady Capulet. Capulet says “And too soon marred are those so early made. / Earth hath swallowed all my hopes but she; / She is the hopeful lady of my earth. / But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart, / My will to her consent is but a part, And she agreed, within her scope of choice/ Lies my consent and fair according voice.” (I. II. 13-19). Back in this era most fathers would marry off their daughters as early as possible to men that they thought would be suitable for them. The women would usually be reluctant to marry that early due to the fact that it was arranged. Capulet thinks the opposite and wants to hang on to his...

...Elyse DeLaney Professor Kate Kelly Religious Studies October 28, 2012 Two Birds with One Stone: An Essay of War and Compassion in Three Vonnegut Novels It is only the dead who have seen the end of war. -Plato Vonnegut prides himself on writing novels with science fiction elements and three of his novels, Player Piano (PP), God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater (GB), and Hocus Pocus (HP) are prime examples of war and compassion. Vonnegut’s critique of war reveals that he considers compassion to be the most sacred aspect of human life. In Player Piano, the novel’s protagonist, Dr. Paul Proteus (PP 23) is forced to choose between the successes of his company or become the leader of a rebellion against the machine society. People are slowly, but surely, being replaced by machines and artificial “workers,” such as automated tellers at banks and self-checkouts at groceries. Vonnegut uses this movement of mechanization in the 1950’s and responds to the dehumanization in this novel. Machines and computers have eliminated the need for industrial laborers after the Second Industrial Revolution and society is then split into two unequal classes: manager and engineers of the machines and the rest of the population that live without happiness or dignity. The two unequal classes is just one example of war in Player Piano. The two populations live in segregation, with the north side of the river saved for the upper class and the south side of the river, or Homestead, are where...

...1ST INTERVIEW Cristian Rodriguez Valerie Paredes Psychology of disability- REHS 2331.901L As many as one in five American women are living with a disability. Disabilities may present challenges, but many people can and do enjoy full, productive lives. Here to tell us about her experience living with spina bifida myelomeningocele is my neighbor’s daughter. At the age of 24, she is committed to educating others about spina bifida. What is the diagnosis of your disability? I was diagnosis with spina bifida myelomeningocele since I was born. Spina bifida literally means “split spine.” Spina bifida happens when a baby is in the womb and the spinal column does not close all of the way. Myelomeningocele is the most severe form of spina bifida. With this condition, part of the spinal cord and nerves come through an opening in the baby’s back. It causes nerve damage and other disabilities. What was it like growing up with spina bifida? There is really only one word that best describes my experience growing up with spina bifida, and that word is “difficult.” I chose that word because growing up with spina bifida was a learning experience for me and my family. My parents and I had to learn about this disability and everything that came along with it. I was also in and out of the hospital for a variety of surgeries for the first seven years of my life. This caused me to fall behind in school because I would miss so much while I was away. I didn’t have anyone at school I could turn...
