The Quest For Parental Figures In Huckleberry Finn
988 wordsThroughout Huck's journey on the river in pursuit of freedom, he may have been indirectly searching for a proper home among the characters whom he encounters.

Planned Parenthood Federation Parental Consent
1,700 words1 Research Paper ENG 232 /Dr. Powers 27 Mar 99 It is ironic that, while a teenage girl must obtain parental consent for such a minor procedure as having her ears pierced, for her to lay her life on the line (as well as that of her unborn child) and obtain an abortion, no parental notification is required. If a teenager, because of her immaturity and inexperience in decision-making, may not enroll herself in the school of her choice without her parents signature and consent, how can she be expect...

Single Parent Families National Institute Of Justice
1,875 wordsThere is no doubt that various experts can give us many theories as to the causes of juvenile delinquency, including one's economic background, substance abuse, delinquent peer groups, repeated exposure to violence, increased availability of firearms and media violence, however, I feel that the number one cause of juvenile delinquency is the breakdown of families, including lack of parental control over children.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Children Of Alcoholics
1,856 wordsTopic Description The topic I chose for the research assignment is children of alcoholics. I chose to focus more on the children that are involved in families of alcoholics rather than on the family as a whole, because I felt there would be too much information. Because I grew up in a stable, relatively normal family, I chose to research a topic in which I did not have experience with. The participants that I chose for the interview are people that I know to have problems with parental alcoholis...

Hughes and Caliandro (1996), Melnyk and Alpert-Gillis (1998) assert that social support serves as a some sort of buffer in decreasing parental stress related to the child's chronic illness. Social support also positively influences on coping in parents (Rodrigues, Geffken, Clark, Hunt, & Fisher, 1997). In such a way, assessment of the level of social support i...

Shakespearean Tragedy King Lear
7,928 wordsThe practice of combining love and justice in the governance of relationships between parents and children is crucial to the moral formation of the young.

Seven Deadly Sins Hedda Gabler
10,446 wordsThe established view of Hedda Gabler sees the play as a study of the frustration and despair engendered in the exceptional individual by a conventionalized society. In this paper I present a psychoanalytic re-interpretation of the play which in certain respects inverts this received reading. Insofar as it does so, however, my interpretation is intended not to cancel the received view but to play against it. The first section of the paper is predominantly Freudian in approach. The second section ...

Early Modern Europe Marriage Partner
4,083 wordsThe life of a child in Europe during the early modern period was totally different from that of a child living today. In the first instance a child today is likely to live through its infancy and grow up into an adult, rather than become a victim of infant mortality, as so many children in the early modern period did. It was because of this fact that there was less bonding between parents and children of the type that we see today. It can be argued that children, and their survival into adulthoo...
