Argumentative Speech On Parents

Naturally parents will want to see their children do well. Sometimes though in an effort to keep their children safe parents inadvertently hold their children back from exploring the world around them, lessening their chances to learn and progress. While it is understandable to want to shelter

In Chapter 3 of Kenneth A. Strike’s The Ethics of Teaching, Kenneth Strike mentions how parents protect their children from consequences that can cause harm. In The Ethics of Teaching, Kenneth Strike states “In the passage quoted, Mill notes that children need to be protected from the consequences of their own actions. Children presumably differ from adults in the degree to which they appreciate the consequences and the significance of their actions” (Strike, pg. 43). This statement means that children require protection from any harmful consequences due to their behavior. Most parents follow this aspect within the society. It is considered a norm in the society for parents to protect their child from harm any way that they can. Parents

I just recently had the opportunity to read the magazine article from The Atlantic titled “The Overprotected Kid” by Hanna Rosin. This article constantly critiques and bashes society along with the parenting styles of today. I agree with Rosin that parents are too protective over their children because parents today are holding back their children and are preventing them from many experiences. Fortunately, my parents were not part of this trend, allowing me to explore and learn from my own experiences and mistakes. Playgrounds are becoming to a point that is almost too safe and children are taking less risks. Playgrounds and parents are not allowing kids to learn on their own and experience life while taking risks.

The movie, The Mission, begins with Jesuit priest, Father Gabriel, entering the Guarani tribe in South America. Shortly after, he is joined by Rodrigo Mendoza, a nearby prisoner who has been seeking penance. With the intent of converting the natives to Christianity, they were able to generate a bond that forces them to protect each other by whatever means necessary. After a treaty transferred their land from Spain to Portugal, Mendoza and Gabriel become determined to defend the mission, even if they disagreed on the way they would accomplish the complex task. Machiavelli’s teaching are heavily present throughout the film, copiously reflecting his beliefs within each community represented.

Parents know more than anyone when it comes to their own child. Chaim Potok thought the same way when he wrote The Chosen. David Malter and Reb Isaac Saunders both love their children in very contrasting ways, but they each know an equal amount about their sons’ personalities. They have different ways of loving and teaching children, so they do what they believe is premium for the habits the child possesses. Children try to hide themselves. The world may lose them, but a parent always knows where they are. A father and a son may not always like each other, but they always love and know each other better than anyone else.

If anxiety levels rise in these problems, psychiatric, medical, or social dysfunction may develop (Kerr, 2000). In impairment of one or more children problems, according to Kerr (2000), the spouses focus their anxieties on one or more of their children and the children focus their anxiety on them which can ultimately impair school performance, social relationships, and even health (Kerr, 2000). In emotional distance problems, according to Kerr (2000), people distances themselves from others to reduce the intensity of the relationship, but risk isolation from each other. The fourth concept of this theory is the family projection process. This concept describes the primary way parents transmit their emotional problems to a child (Kerr, 2000). This process can impair the functioning of one or more children and can increase their clinical symptoms. Some problems that children inherit from their parents include the need for attention and approval; difficulty dealing with expectations; the tendency to blame oneself or others; feeling responsible for the happiness of others or that others are responsible for one’s own happiness; and acting impulsively to relieve the anxiety of the moment rather than tolerating anxiety and acting thoughtfully (Kerr, 2000). Parents have different roles in this process: mothers are the primary caretakers and experience more emotional involvement with one or

Children become aware that their feelings and desires are essential and must be accounted for. Growing up in a supportive environment enables children to form open and trusting relationships with their parents. However, sometimes parents fail to meet emotional or physical needs of their children. Through the failure of meeting the child’s need, eventually, leads to a more dysfunctional relationship.

Children who are overprotected are not exposed to any danger and therefore have no idea how to react during a dangerous situation. According to Joe Frost who works in the safety crusade and is mentioned in the article “The Overprotected Kid” by Hanna Rosin, ‘‘’In the real world, life is filled with risks—financial, physical, emotional, social—and reasonable risks are essential for children’s healthy development’’’ (Rosin). Children are born with the instinct to take risks and try new things because that is how they learn.

Parents usually have the best intentions – like protecting their children from life's hardships and preparing them for adulthood. However as with many other aspects of parenting, the results do not always match the intentions. Overprotective parents generally want to protect their children from harm, hurt, pain, failure, unhappiness, bad experiences, rejection, and disappointment (Lindsey 1). However, parents must realize that overprotective parenting has certain side effects. Parents believe that they are doing a favor for their children by keeping them safe without realizing that this parenting style can have severe effects on children such as robbing children of the essential life skills that they need in order to have a healthy

Some parents have huge expectations of their children and can put a lot of strain and worry on their children's shoulders thus causing emotional stress

During his lifetime Socrates’ various interactions with his fellow Athenians left his intentions debatable. Popular belief in Athens seemed to be that, “he [Socrates] was an evildoer, and a curious person, who searches into things under the earth and in heaven¸ and makes the worse appear the better cause” (Plato, pg. 5) as stated by the unofficial charges against him in The Apology. After discussions, his interlocutor’s were left confused in a state of aporia, with no conclusion. And so while negative views of Socrates became increasing popular in Athens right up until his death, Socrates was, on the contrary, serving as Athens’s benefactor, opening up their eyes to the truth of world in which they lived in. In Plato’s Laches, Socrates

A parent fears how their kid is going to end up. Some think every day and night of their they stress about it and think, how can I make them beater. Parents then act in a drastic or extreme mashers. Even though they believe their children will become beater people, extreme parenting can back fire because the parents freaked out about everything and they become to attack to their kid. In this paper I will tell you about extreme parents.

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. These relationships are built from a foundation of interaction starting from the birth of the child to their adulthood. 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. Parental involvement within a child’s life allows them to gain a sense of security ultimately increasing new learning of the child

But as soon as children start feeling that their parents care too much, they try to get back at them and do just what their parents don't want them to do. On the other hand kids who face lack of freedom may end up turning into introverts afraid to speak to other people or not as social (which is not a bad thing though).

Initially, parents may feel isolated and alone, and not know where to begin their search for
