Reno, 86 F. Supp. 2d 1167, 2000 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 3225 (S.D. Fla., 2000) Parties to this case include: Elian Gonzalez minor child, Lazaro Gonzalez plaintiff temporary legal custodian, and Attorney General Janet Reno. Six-year-old Cuban national Elian Gonzalez was rescued from the water several miles off Fort Lauderdale Florida. Elian was transferred to a United States Coast Guard vessel so he could be transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Elian's mother, Elisabeth Brotons, drowned during the voyage from Cuba. The INS temporarily paroled him into the care of Lazaro Gonzalez, his great uncle, in Miami. Plaintiff is the temporary legal custodian, who filed an asylum application on his behalf against the wishes of his father in Cuba.

...An irrevocable trust is a trust with basis and offers that cannot be altered by the grantor. When you make a gift of an asset to a beneficiary during life time, the property is excluded in your taxable estate at your death. This trust offers an option to a give an asset to a beneficiary to enable reduction of taxable estates. Having a trust, you can set the timing of distributions for example in education alone. Another useful positive impact of an irrevocable trust is that it offers substantial care from creditors. When assets are moved to the trust, they are not possessing by the grantor but they become legal property of the trustee to hold for the beneficiaries. Once you transfer your assets you cannot use or even benefit from them because they may be included in...

The parents in order to make bolt ends meet will not be at home most of the time. The child is deprived of love and affection and parent s enlightenment and motivation on how to go about things. The family in this situation becomes less important as an educating an gent where the parents the child is living will have to re – marry , either the man or woman, the child may not be acceptable by the step parent. Thus, such a child becomes a liability instead of an asset. The child may be maltreated in various forms. That is the child may not be given adequate food and money to school and will therefore be exposed to stealing or running away to do meager jobs to feed him or her self.

So the child finds it difficult to formulate values acceptable to his /her own group, to parent and to cultural mores. In the course of adolescent development task, the home is of greatest importance.

...After searching for a while in www.google.com.mx about what are the human rights, I finally found a website (http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Pages/WhatareHumanRights.aspx) where it defines the term and also describes some of the main ideas of what involves human rights. Then, went back to www.google.com and searched information about the human rights to the health care and found the website http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs323/en/ that is the same as OMS, but in English. What are human rights? Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible. Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law, general principles and other sources of international law. International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups. Universal and inalienable the principle of universality of human rights is the cornerstone of international human rights law. This principle, as first emphasized in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights in 1948, has been reiterated in numerous international human...

...|Explain how the role of teacher changes in the process of the child growing normalisation (socialisation) | (Begin typing your introduction here…) Montessori acknowledgment that emphasis she placed on preparation for the learning environment was probably the main characteristic by which people identified her method. She believed that “environment” includes not only the space the children use and the furnishings and materials within that space but also the adults and the children who share their days with each other, as well as the outdoor environment and other places where children learn. A Montessori teacher has to be quite different from a teacher from ordinary school (The Absorbent Mind). A Montessori teacher must be a guardian for child’s learning and care, custodian to the favourable environment and an observer of each child’s nuances. “The teacher of children up to six years of age knows that she has helped mankind in essential part of its formation. …She will be able to say: “I have served the spirits of those children, and they have fulfilled their development, and I have kept them company in their experiences”(Montessori, 2007a). What normalisation is? M Montessori said: “The transition from one stage to another always follows a piece of work done by the hands with real things, work accompanied by mental concentration”(Montessori, 2007a) Dr. Montessori said, “the thing we should cultivate in our teachers is...

...Ousman P.V. Jassey Professor Frink English 112 10 April 2009 Should Abortion be banned? Abortion is one of the most controversial issues in our societies and politics today. Since 1973, when the Supreme Court of the United States of America legalized abortion in its landmark Roe vs Wade decision, the opposing groups of abortion have sought to increase or restrict access to abortion, leading to intense debates among pro-life and pro-choice political leaders and activists both at state and federal governments levels and as well as religious organizations. The abortion debate is often considered a two-sided controversy; however, the issue involves questions about biology, morality and religion and legal rights. For example, people who consider themselves as pro-life activists argue that abortion destroys human life, which they believe begins at conception. As a result, the pro-life activists regarded abortion as immoral and should be illegal and abandoned. Some of the moderate pro-life advocates allow exceptions in the cases of rapes, incest, or if mother’s health is at risk. People who identify themselves as pro-choice activists contend that every woman has a right to make decision concerning her body and her future outweighs the right of the fetus. Some pro-choice supporters endorse restrictions on abortion, such as informed consent laws, which require that a woman receive state-authored literature on abortion before undergoing the procedure, and mandatory waiting...

Because each bar includes individual and societal costs that may overlap with others, they cannot be tallied to produce a total. FIGURE 1 The researchers divide the societal costs of each outcome into two categories: tangible, which covers items such as prison beds that are easier to measure and calcuate in dollars; and intangible, which includes consequences like a crime victim’s pain and suffering that clearly have costs but must be estimated using more complex methods. The average per-person tangible costs, as described below, are substantial: Child Abuse: Societal costs for medical and mental health care and services such as foster care total more than $30,000 for a child who is abused. Teen Parenthood: When a teenager has a child, the nation pays $120,000 for expenses including medical care, social assistance programs and efforts to deal with higher rates of abuse and neglect among these young parents. High School Dropout: Adropout costs society $250,000 through lower earnings and benefits. Illegal Drug Abuse: Treatment, medical care and other societal costs caused by a drug abuser amount to $250,000. Alcohol...

...(Absorbent Mind), Phase two - six to twelve years(Childhood) , Phase three - twelve to eighteen years (Adolescence). Each plane describes a unique developmental stage and highlights the particular characteristics of the child at that stage and explains the conditions which Montessori thought were most conducive to the child's development at each stage. Phase one - birth to six years (Absorbent Mind) is subdivided into two sub-stages, the spiritual (Montessori, 1966 and 2007a) and social embryonic (Montessori, 2007a) stage. from birth to three years child learns unconsciously from his/her environment of which immediate family, primary and secondary are an essential component. The unconscious absorbent mind enables children to acquire information and develop essential skills such as walking and talking. In the early stages of this sub-phase the infant is seen to be a spiritual embryo. ’"we are not dealing with something that develops, but with a fact of formation; something non- existent has to be produced, starting from nothing " (Montessori, 2007a, p.21). The child in the next sub-phase is referred to as conscious absorbent mind, the three to six year old begins to be able to exist independently of the prime carer. Montessori refers to the child at this stage of his/her development as the social embryo. She/he is aware of other people and is becoming socialised, ready to leave the family for short periods of...

...Ethic In a persuasive essay, Aldo Leopold tries to explain how we are ethically and morally obligated to take care of our resources. In his paper, “The Land Ethic” Leopold explains how we have viewed the land as, “strictly economic, entailing privileges but not obligations”. This is the main statement in his essay, and throughout the writing he elaborates on this statement. He says we have not given the land (the soils, waters, plants, and animals) the respect it deserves. He talks about our National Anthem and how we sing of “our love for and obligation to the land of the free and the home of the brave” and then he questions our uses of our ‘resources’ and in an almost disgusted way, says if you say you’re going to ‘take care of it and love it’, than follow through. He discusses how land ownership has played a big part of how we now use the land in different communities and poses the question of many researchers; What if the outcome of settling the states, and planting the fields if “the plant succession… had given us some worthless grasses, shrubs, and weeds to a condition of unstable equilibrium”. Where would we be today? He talks about resource conservation as an ethic and the land which contains the most diversity such as marshes, bogs, dunes and deserts may be privately owned. But if the owner was ‘ecologically minded’ he would, “be proud to be the custodian of a reasonable proportion of such areas”. He goes on to say some of these lands can be set aside and managed...

...1. Identify the legal issues coming out of this case and discuss any intervention strategy that you will use to deal with them. Also, discuss any theory or theories that you will use to inform your action/s. This assignment is about the emergence of a new type of family structure within the Caribbean islands. It is about a same sex family, comprising of two men and a little boy. Peter who is the breadwinner of the family, Jerome, the keeper of the home, and little Richie who is Peter's five (5) years old nephew.

This family is going through a difficult time, which has resulted in them breaking up. Because of this breakup many issues (social / legal) present themselves.
