- 1982: Perceptions of Leadership
- ... are necessary to become a successful leader. Finally, when analyzing my original perceptions, I stated that childhood experiences play a major role in leadership development. I thought that Church and school leadership roles as a child were vital experiences in the development of a leader. I think that the basic attitudes, morals, and values of an individual are developed and honed as a child. Qualities such as these play a major role in the development of a leader and need to be taught and stressed as a child. I learned from the Bennis audio that there are many other aspects to the development of a leader. There are many qualities that I think of . For instance, the audio spoke of “Ed” who ...
- 1983: Exploring The Mind
- ... this limited knowledge, children will consistently react to situations in a similar way that can only be explained by an instinctive nature. Have young children changed their behavior since the 1700's? I suppose any child from any culture at any time in history would cry when it was upset, physically take whatever it wanted, need a certain amount of love and attention, and also be interested in exploring things outside ... social problems? Could it be that humans naturally make decisions that only involve our own best interest and are based upon creating a life that best suits ourselves in the fashion we see fit? A child will physically take a toy or a piece of candy from another if they want it for themselves. This type of action shows no thought of well being for another and is undoubtedly self-interested. A child's motivation in this example does not vary greatly from an adults reactionary thought process in a similar grown-up scenario. Suppose I was to sit down in a coffee shop to study for ...
- 1984: Frankenstein
- ... parenthood. He was unprepared to the fact that his creature will need to be cared for and that he will be responsible for its actions. When the creature is first born, it resembles a newborn child in the way that it knows nothing; therefore, it is Frankenstein's responsibility to educate his creation about morals. If the creature does not know the difference between right and wrong then how can it ... When Frankenstein first views his creation, he immediately claims it to be a mistake. 'I beheld the wretch-the miserable monster whom I had created' (pg48) Unlike a parent who would care for a deformed child, Frankenstein abandons his 'child' and all his parental responsibilities. He commits the ultimate act of hatred towards his creation by his outright rejection and severation of all parental ties. It is due to this abandonment that the Monster ...
- 1985: "The Fate Of Oedipus"
- ... she had stopped the prophecy from happening, she worries no more. Jocasta does not know the whole truth though. She does not know that the shepherd had actually disobeyed her, and didn't kill the child. Instead, in pity, he sent the baby away far enough that he thought the foretelling would not be in effect. Again this did not stop fate. Once Oedipus found out that the people he had ... her last words. Fate took her life. Laius, the king, also not free of the curse. He had found out about it first and was the person that ordered Jocasta to get rid of the child. This did not work, because the child was still alive, and Oedipus did end up killing his true father unknowingly.

- ... own fiancé’s life. He also showed us this when the fiancé attempted to pay the deckhand to save him a boat.

His intention was not to save the child’s life, but his own. The end of the movie is where the director shows us we are all equal. There was no amount of money that could have been paid to stay alive. ...
- 1987: “Agamemnon”: Clytaemnestra
- ... this way, Aeschylus presented a woman very conscious of the way she portrayed herself. The parts of Agamemnon, where she did reveal her true feelings came when she talked about her children, “And so our child is gone, not standing by our side, the bond of our dearest pledges, mine and yours, by all rights our child should be here.” (line 874-876) While she is presumably was only talking about Orestes, there seemed to be a sense that these lines have meaning on several levels. Not only was she informing her ... Her deceit, her cunning, her power all manifested in this desire. At times, she reaches beyond human levels. In her mind she embodied the spirit of vengeance. She was a tireless protector of her dead child. Murder, to her, was not a barbaric act of malice. She felt it was her duty. Clyteamnestra did have one very humanizing feature, the bittersweet love she had for her children and her helplessness ...
- 1988: Robert Frost
- ... the first time shows evidence of his maturing by writing a short narrative essay called Home Burial. Using his own life experiences, Frost writes this story about a father and mother who have lost their child. Using a descriptive and conversational writing style, Frost explores his every emotion. Anger, sadness, hatred, disappointment, and shock, were just a few of the emotions that were felt in reading this poem. Truly this was a poem from his heart. Frost explores not only the enormous tragedy of losing a child, but he touches on the rippling effects that such a tragedy can have on family members. In these situations, the death of the infant signaled the onset of the deterioration of the marriage and of the home itself. In my ways, the home as well as the marriage were buried with the dead child. Frost continues the evolution of his emotions and his examination of man in work such as Mending Wall and The Death of a Hired Man, both from North of Boston. As they walk along ...

By the third trimester, a fetus has ... or rape, Pro-life followers tend to direct the woman towards adoption services, or orphanages. To Pro-life believers, the cost of adoption is incomparable to the cost a life. If finances decide bringing a child into the world, then Pro-life activists believe there is no reason not to fulfill a pregnancy. They will raise funds, or incorporate funding from the government to support an infant that can not be ... from federal funding. Overall, there should not ever be reasons to turn to abortion if you are a Pro-life supporter, or are there? The government funds some or most of the costs for a child’s nourishment, shelter, and health. Should the government also fund the costs of treating an aberrant infant? If an infant were born premature, due to environmental or maternal factors, the cost of medical aide ...
