...The response of The Motherhood Penalty vs. the Fatherhood Bonus Claire Cain Miller wrote an article in the New York Times called “The Motherhood Penalty vs. the Fatherhood Bonus”. She talks about the pay gap between working mothers and working fathers. Men who have children income are more likely to be higher than men without children. Women with children are often looked over when it comes to hiring in the same occupation as a childless man. Most employers believe that women with children are not trustworthy. I beg to differ on that because I think a person will give their all when it comes to providing for your family. Family life is much different than it use to be in the older days. I know most people in the society believe that men are suppose to be the workers while women are suppose to be the caregivers at home. What if a household does not have a man to take that role? Who do you think is left to fill it? I agree with Ms. Miller when she states “employers have not...

...In a Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen, Nora's mind is pulled in conflicting directions by two compelling desires, that of wanting to be free while still being morally obligated to her family. For Nora's entire life, society has forced her to succumb to its expectations of a woman's role as a mother and wife, rather than to her personal desires. These repressed desires then lead to her feeling trapped and confused, considering her responsibility to her family but also her own wish to be free of this life full of lies and deception. In society's point of view, at the time when this play was written, a husband and wife were expected to live happily ever after with their children, if any, and never leave each other's side. Because of this, Nora felt a sort of principled obligation set upon her by others to stay with her family. Nora was a victim of subjugation to Torvald. Whether it was his absurd command for her to not eat macaroons, or to not spend money, Torvald had complete control over her. This dominance only drives Nora further and further away from her family. Torvald's control doesn't stop at the macaroons and the setting of a budget. Towards the end of the play, we are made aware of a dance called the tarantella, here, Torvald makes Nora dress up and dance for him, as though she were a doll. After he teaches her the dance, he proclaims "When I saw you turn and sway in the tarantella-my blood was pounding till I couldn't stand it", showing how he is more interested in Nora...

...Germany Vs United States Health Care Systems Tarrah Schefke Mary Dunbar HSC 111 Paula Dixson Germany Vs United States Health Care Systems Mention European health care to an American, and it probably conjures up a negative stereotype — high taxes, long waiting lines, rationed care. It's not that way in Germany. Very little tax money goes into the system. The lion's share comes, as in America, from premiums paid by workers and employers to insurance companies. German health benefits are very generous. And there's usually little or no wait to get elective surgery or diagnostic tests, such as MRIs. It's one of the world's best health care systems, visible in little ways that most Germans take for granted. Dental Care in Germany vs. United States Dental care in Germany is very similar to the dental care that we have in the United States. In Germany, costs for dental care is ranked amongst the highest in Europe, while public healthcare costs consume a large portion of their national budget (Going to the Dentist in Germany, 2012). The downside to this is that an increasing number of dental treatments are excluded from reimbursement by public health care plans. Also, in Germany there is a two-tier insurance program, which offers different levels of dental insurance coverage. The costs of your yearly dental health routine are covered by all standard dental health plans. This includes two annual check-ups, teeth cleanings, and basic fillings (Going to the Dentist in Germany...

...United States Congress vs. Maternity Leave The maternity law currently in the United States is named the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The FMLA is a federal law that “requires employers with 50 or more employees to provide 12 weeks of unpaid leave to employees who have worked at least 1,250 hours in the previous 12 months” ("State Family and Medical Leave Laws"). Also it is “the first job protected national maternity leave policy” in the United States (Berger). This act was the fist medical leave act in United States, made in 1993 to “promote economic stability and preserve family integrity, to entitle employees to take leave for medical reason to care for a child…and to provide equal employment opportunity for men and women” (Berger).The...

...background of an African –American working class family. Joanna is a classy, sophisticated colleague who met Dr. John Prentice who was holding a lecture at Hawaii University and was attending a party at the Deans. At the beginning of the movie, Johanna and John arrives at the San Francisco airport, check their luggage out with the bagger, and began talking amongst each other. At this point, both characters are building rapport. Next, they caught a taxi, from the airport and rode within the city of San Francisco talking to each and was trying to make a decision of how were John was going to stay. Immediately, Joana insisted that John would stay over and meet her parents, but John seemed sort of uneasy of this situation due to Joanna not informing her parents that John was coming with her and that he was African American. Later, they stopped in at the gallery where her mother works and she is trying to find her. Johanna couldn’t find her mother, so she sees the owner, Mrs. Hilary St. George and introduces Dr. John Prentice to her. There seemed to be a signal of prejudice, as Mrs. St. George is speaking to Dr. Prentice, falsely smiles at him, but sort of rejects his greeting in return by continuing to speak with Joanna over his conversation with her. John smiled anyway and waited patiently for both women to finish their conversation and Joey and he soon left, in the taxi again traveling to her parents’ home. Upon arrival to his girlfriend’s home, the taxi cab driver unloaded...

...Breastfeeding in public tends to be controversial. I don’t know about anyone else but I would rather have a calm, breastfeeding baby than a screaming, hungry baby while I’m eating dinner. Many public companies have tried to please their employees by trying to move nursing mothers into restrooms or dressing rooms. I have never seen a public restroom that I would feed a baby in. And I would hate to think a new mother is cooped up inside because she would be afraid that her baby would get hungry while she is gone. Breastfeeding mothers and their babies shouldn’t feel like they are trapped in their house, but every mother should remember that she is feeding her baby and that she is not doing anything wrong. Even though it may seem taboo in some...

...“There’s nothing bigger than a man who learns to grow.” This sentence appeared in the story “The Growin of Paul Bunyan”. I agree with this statement because it’s not an easy choice to make. Actually, who of us would request something harder vs. easier? Therefore, the bigger man does the harder stuff. If everything was easy, life would be boring. Some examples from the story are on page 21. “Paul learns how to plant seeds to grow trees.” This was big for Paul because he decided to challenge himself and learn something new. Before he was chopping down all the trees. As soon as Johnny Appleseed could get a sapling growing, Paul would chop it down. My second example I found, is on page 18. “Paul likes chopping trees because it makes him happy”....

...welfare distributes wealth to those who don’t earn it. To them, welfare encourages illegitimate births, the breakup of families, and discourages recipients from bettering themselves (Mankiw, p.429). Welfare provides the means for a lazy society that is dependent on hard working citizens for their support. Welfare provides the basic needs and allows for a better quality of live that protects the children from hunger and homelessness. The parents of these children often qualify because their income is at or below poverty level and they have met their state’s requirements to receive any benefits. But instead of the system being a temporary crutch, the system allows recipients to grow dependent on welfare and increases their incentive to continue participating in the program. Many recipients remain on benefits much longer than needed and continually engage in practices that keep them eligible. These, in turn, beget a cycle that children see their parents engaging in and therefore accept that behavior as the norm. With members in each generation participating in welfare programs, when does the cycle end? The Effects of Welfare on the Family The faces of welfare happen to be mostly single mothers. Children of single mothers often...

A century before women use to fight for the opportunity to receive a higher education and now they were just going to college to look for husbands. By the end of the fifties the birthdate in the United States had over taken India's. Million have women started to picture their lives as the suburban house wife. Taking the children to school in the station wagon, kissing their husbands good bye in the front of the home as the husbands we going to work, and then smiling while happily using the vacuum to clean their house and other chores of the sort. They cooked, cleaned, and only went out of the home when it really had something to do with shopping or family activities. It was their duty to be in the home.

...Traditional vs. Non-Traditional Families In today’s society parenting roles are changing drastically on a regular basis. For generations the ideal family was patriarchal and consisted of a husband working outside the home and a wife keeping the home together, even when she may have outside employment. Today, fathers are taking on roles commonly accepted as female gender roles in the family unit. Sometimes even as full time caretakers. The movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” (2003) presents both traditional and non-traditional gender roles when it comes to parenting. As the story progresses things in the household change and the family must cope and adapt to the circumstances surrounding them. The subject of this paper centers around the differences between the traditional and non-traditional roles affecting this family and how they change as well as the distinct picture this movie shows in the fundamental way society is changing. Before diving into the non-tradition parenting roles that this film explores it is important to know the background of the story. The 2003 film Cheaper by the Dozen is a loose remake of the 1950 film and book, both of the same name. As you would expect it starts with a traditional and very large family unit. In the work of Parsons and Bales, as discussed in Kemp’s “Women’s Work” is says that “Task specialization led to two distinct roles for men and women- women in the expressive role of nurturing and socializing the family members, and men the instrumental...

...changes. Form the day we are born until the day that death has come upon use. As we reach different stages of our lives we begin to see changes not only in our physical but cognitively as well. Through the studies of Erik Erickson he came up with 8 different stages personality that may define who we are going to be. The first stage is Basic trust vs. basic mistrust; in this stage it covers the birth to 1 year of age which seems to be the most fundamental stage of life. Cassell (2013) states that Erickson said; the baby develops basic trust or basic mistrust is not merely a matter of nurture. It is multi-faceted and has strong social components. It depends on the quality of the maternal relationship. The mother carries out and reflects their inner perceptions of trustworthiness, a sense of personal meaning, etc. on the child. If successful in this, the baby develops a sense of trust, which "forms the basis in the child for a sense of identity." Failure to develop this trust will result in a feeling of fear and a sense that the world is inconsistent and unpredictable (p.04). The next stage in Erickson development stage is the Autonomy vs. Shame and this covers the ages from 1-3 years of age. In this stage the...

...Ending Controversy Approximately 205 million abortions occur each year worldwide. Over a third are unintended and about a fifth end in abortion. What is abortion? Abortion is the termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus prior to viability. In other words, it is when a mother decides she doesn’t want to go through with her pregnancy. Abortion in today’s society has become very political. You are either pro-choice, pro-life, and there doesn’t seem to be a happy medium. As we look at abortion and research its history, should it remain legal in the United States, or should it be outlawed, we must consider both points of views. November 14, 1979, with the temperature outside at fifteen degrees, a two pound baby girl was found in a field wrapped up in a wet, dirty, old shirt. The umbilical cord was still attached, and the baby had been aborted twelve weeks prematurely. With little chance of survival, the baby was taken to a medical center. The little girl survived surgery and other efforts to save her. The baby was later adopted by Susan Morrison, one of the nurses who attended to her. The baby was named Christelle, and now she and her mother talk to thousands of people about abortion and the pro-life movement. There are 1,600,000 other abortion stories every year in the United States. “Abortion is the termination of pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by death of the embryo or fetus. Because life begins at conception...
