Abstract
This paper looks at how raising children is a not an easy job and how one of the most difficult parts is finding the most efficient way to punish a child. It explores the topic of disciplining children by the parents, including a discussion on whether or not corporal punishment is right or wrong in both the home and school setting. It also gives alternatives to corporal punishment, such as positive reinforcement, as well as information that suggests that spanking isn't that harmful to a child.
From the Paper
"Corporal punishment is a touchy subject no matter how you look at it. Some people believe that it is a necessary part of life, while others believe that it needs to be banned in the United States. The definition of corporal punishment as stated in the Encyclopedia Britannica is ?the infliction of physical pain upon a person?s body as punishment for a crime or infraction.? (Britannica .com) It goes on to state ?the term also denotes physical disciplining of children in the schools and at home.? The use of corporal punishment in home and school has been widely debated. So parents have the difficult decision in how they will punish their children inside their own home and they also have to worry about how their child?s teacher or school official will discipline them."

Abstract
This paper examines the child raising techniques of three cultures: the Mbuti, the Yanoamo, and the !Kung. According to the author, each of these food-foraging societies showed different elements of independence training to instill survival skills.
From the Paper
"The Mbuti culture instructs independence by a way of religious means. The Mbuti have many rituals in where they give thanks to the forest. One of them is called the bamelima, where young girls go into the forest for a long period of time. This practice is to ensure cooperation between the girls for survival?s sake and for later adult cooperative activity. The Mbuti see the male children as being well developed with their cooperation skills, but do not think the same of the girls. This is why this festival is for only the girls. (Turnbull, 135,136) The boys have rituals also, such as the nkumbi. This ritual practices strength training (instead of cooperation training) with strenuous labor and physical abuse. After it is through, the boys are then considered men in the village and may take part in any adult male activity. (Turnbull, 221-226) Although training methods differ, the Mbuti culture uses survival skills in rituals to teach independence in both girls and boys."

Changing Views Of Life And Reality
Science, Evolution And Faith
From the Paper
"Related to the development of the scientific attitude was the utilitarian view of life. This view was based on the assumption that only material reality existed and was driven by industrialization and modern commerce. This philosophy was also related to for the desire for monetary wealth. Briefly utilitarianism is "The belief that the value of a thing or an action is determined by its utility." (Definitions of Utilitarianism on the Web) Therefore, in this view there can therefore be no intrinsic and spiritual meaning to life. The individual has worth only to the extent of his immediate utility to society and industry. Writers of the time like Charles Dickens reacted strongly against this view of life. Utilitarianism was also an indication that the religious dimension had been lost in Victorian society. "They knew something fundamental had been lost from their society, and they were trying to grasp it, but most of them had an incomplete understanding of what it was." (Ahlquist D.)"

"God and Religion in Victorian Literature
Introduction
Hilary Fraser believes that one of the most prominent and characteristic features of Victorian thought was "a proliferation of religio-aesthetic theories designed to reconcile the claims of Christianity and beauty, morality and art" (Fraser 1). She argues that this tendency to relate religious experience to aesthetic experience was particularly pronounced in the nineteenth century. For example, she notes that in the visual arts, painters used biblical scenes for their subject-matter. She believes that this resulted in a "peculiarly Victorian religious mysticism," which many people came to accept as the particular domain of Victorian poetry (Fraser 2). Thus, she argues, Victorian poetry became a way of expressing religious.."

The Victorian Legacy, 2002.

Abstract
The paper discusses how D.H. Lawrence?s novel "Rainbow", Vera Brittain?s memoir the "Testament of Youth" and Francois Truffault?s film "Two English Girls", all deal with the issue of how women in the twentieth century deal with their inheritance of Victorian morality and how they shape their own lives both in response to and in defiance of those virtues. It examines how in Victorian society, women had an extremely well-defined, repressive and limited role in society with strict taboos surrounding female sexuality, which was not a subject available for polite discussion. It looks at how in all the three works, several different young female characters raised in the shadow of the Victorian Era are coming to grips with their identity especially as it relates to the typical idea of women that people held in the Victorian Era.
From the Paper
"Vera Brittain on the other hand, displays an example of the new femininity that began to emerge in the twentieth century after the end of the Victorian era and the repression that that era caused people to entertain, particularly as regards their gender roles. Brittain, unlike Ursula, however, seems to have a sense of how she can achieve a difference between her and her forbearers in action as well as in thought. She realizes what she learns by working outside of the house as a nurse and what this information enable her to accomplish in the world. Further, she realizes how having access to information about the realities of both life and of sexuality enable her to have a more privileged and enlightened position in the world than many of her female contemporaries."

Abstract
This paper details the poverty and poor working conditions in England during the Victorian Era and how these conditions had a profoundly negative impact on the health and well-being of the working class. The paper describes the long hours, hazardous working conditions, and low pay that sentenced the people of the working class to a life of inadequate food, housing, medical care, and education. The paper also points out how the Victorian Era is a disturbing example of the consequences of substandard working condition.
From the Paper
"Poor working conditions had a tremendous and negative effect on the health of the working class in England in the Victorian Age. The Victorian Age (the nineteenth century) saw the rise of a large working class, where women, men, and children are spent long hours in employment in substandard conditions. Working conditions were poor, and physical mistreatment was common, as were long hours, unhealthy conditions, and poor wages. As a direct result of these poor conditions and ensuing poverty, the health of the average working class Victorian was poor. Nutrition and hygiene were poor, and disease was common, as was malnutrition."

Victorian Women, 2004.
Analyzes how three different works of literature about women in the Victorian era portray the Victorian women's struggle for equality.
1,008 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes, the readings, "Jude the Obscure" by Thomas Hardy, "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin, and "The Odd Women" by George Gissing. Specifically, it shows how Victorian women were willing to struggle for emancipation, even if it meant dying for it. Victorian women had to live under many societal constraints, which kept them subservient and shackled to their relationships. When women struck out for independence and vitality, they were crushed by an unbending Victorian society whose mores did not encourage personal growth and transformation for women.
From the Paper
"Each of these novels portray a different facet of Victorian women, however, ultimately the females in these three works all suffer from the constraints of Victorian society, and each one struggles for emancipation and equality in her own way. Each woman lives outside the "norm" of Victorian society and works to become self-actualized long before it was a recognized or accepted concept."

Abstract
Punishment was once an integral part of the school life of the children. This paper discusses how corporal punishments was given to the students who were found engaged in any wrong deed. The purpose of punishing the students in the school was to tell that the wrong doing would eventually bring pain and agony. The writer explores the development that with the passage of time, it is now realized that these punishments are no good for the students as they have more negative impacts than positive. The short and long term effects are discussed in this paper, examining whether adults who were beaten as children in schools became more agressive parents. It shows how these punishments not only harm the students physically but are also great threat to their mental health. It examines how people including parents and the young generation (children and teenagers) are now voicing against the abuse of the corporal punishment.

From the Paper
"It was the perspective of people a few years ago; that only way to punish someone who did a sinister deed was to use corporal punishment. This is meant to enforce pain to someone who has done wrong by hitting them, beating them, strapping them or even whipping them. These are only a few examples of corporal punishment. Why do we have punishment, How do we benefit from it and how do we abuse it? The most obvious reason for corporal punishment is to castigate one for doing something wrong by means of physical abuse expecting the individual to learn from his or her mistake. But we must ask ourselves this question. Is the person benefiting from this or is he or she not only being physically abused but also mentally. In some cases corporal punishment psychologically affects ones mind on a long-term basis that will stain their memory for a very long period of time."

Abstract
This paper discusses cultural competence within the context of the Pacific Northwest Indians and the Alaskan Native American. The paper describes family and community approaches to child welfare practice and also looks at social and (to a lesser extent) racial constructs in these societies. Finally, the paper at various times touches upon the lessons that a careful study of Pacific Northwest culture can offer to a child welfare agent eager to do the right thing.
From the Paper
"About the Coeur d'Alene tribe somewhat less is known but it is known that kinship was bilaterally based and that the same terms were used to address a cousin from the mother's side of the family as from the father's side of the family (Frey, n.d.). Whether or not this sort of practice is still in place is hard to determine (the evidence is scant) but, to the extent that any members of the Coeur d'Alene still cling to the "old ways", it is advisable that child welfare representatives respect the fact that Coeur d'Alene families are extended and close-knit and that a child's well-being is everyone's concern."

Only Child Research, 2001.
Examines development of child reared without siblings. Discusses birth order & studies on "onlies." Argues that an only child is not at a disadvantage.

From the Paper
"This research will examine the phenomenon of the only child. The developmental-psychology context of the child reared without siblings has emerged as an issue in recent years but evidence shows that only children do not appear to be at a significant disadvantage in regard to personality or other aspects of development and functioning.
Human development, which Shweder terms cultural psychology, can be identified as much by what it is not--anthropology, psychology, and sociology in their classical formulation--as by what it is (Shweder, 1990, p. 1). In general terms, Shweder describes it as "the study of the way cultural traditions and social practices regulate, express, transform, and permute the human psyche, resulting less in psychic unity for humankind than in ethnic divergences in mind, self, and emotion" (p. 1). What marks..."

Victorian Women and Marriage, 2008.
A look at Victorian era stories and novels that provide an intimate look into the role and treatment of women in that era.
3,113 words (approx. 12.5 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 90.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wall Paper" and Kate Chopin's "Story of an Hour" which demonstrated the psychological burdens women had due to their stifling marriages. The paper also looks at Margaret Oliphant's views on the injustices women faced and examines Anthony Trollope's "The Way We Live" where he decries the way marriages revolved around money, power and prestige. The paper then refers to Jane Austin's "Pride and Prejudice" where she presented five different marriages, with varying levels of happiness. The paper concludes that although this literature made some people look more seriously at the way women were treated, it would take several decades more before stereotypes about females were overcome and marriage became more egalitarian.
From the Paper
"Women during the Victorian age had little choice over their fate once they became marrying age. In most cases, men married these women because of the property they owned and to have and raise children. Once wed, the women lost all ownership of their goods as well as any legal rights. On the other hand, if a woman did not get married, she had few choices other than becoming a governess, domestic helper or, in the worst case, a prostitute. Even when men kept mistresses, they still expected their wives to be faithful."

Abstract
The working class in Victorian England did not revolt due to the constant reform and leisure opportunities mostly provided by the middle class. This paper deals with such topics as family support, faith, and the overall improvement of urban Britain that appeased the working class.
From the Paper
"During the time-period known by most historians as the Industrial Revolution, a great change overtook British culture. Aside from the political and economic change which occurred, a profound social modification became apparent. The population was seeking to better their lives and sought employment in newly-formed industries. Many of the workers which included women and children, labored through twelve hour work shifts, with poor sustenance, deprived living conditions and were completing monotonous tasks. However, in all of this chaos, the middle class and working class never revolted. This essay will address the reasons of how and why the middle class/factory owners began to care about the working class and the conditions in which they lived."

" Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to examine current applications of Alfred Adler's personality theory to child-behavior and child-rearing practices. To provide context, this review of applications begins with a brief synopsis of Adler's general personality theory.
Adler's General Personality Theory: A Synopsis
Pervin (1992) reports that the personality theory of Alfred Adler, unlike the personality theory of Sigmund Freud, assigned sexual urges a secondary role in the dynamics of personality. Instead, Adler emphasized the superiority strivings of individuals with behavior being characterized as goal-directed and consciously chosen rather than driven and pre-determined by biological urges or the unconscious mind. Further, Adler called.."
