Abstract
This paper will discuss the aspects of Navajo life on the reservation. The role of the mother and infant will be brought to the forefront of this study. The breastfeeding, bed sharing, baby call, and baby-wearing will be covered to give an idea of how these social practices are practiced in Indian life. By understanding the interrelationships that exist between mother and child, we can see how the life of the Navajo people is transmitted through the raising of their children.

Abstract
The writer notes that from a humanitarian point of view, as well as from an economic point of view, it would seem appropriate that authorities should endeavour to protect the most innocent of all innocent victims - new born babies. The writer then discusses that the existence of effective drugs offers the possibility of saving literally millions of newborns from the horrible fate of being born with AIDS. Thus, it would seem that curbing mother to child transmission of AIDS (MTCT) with the use of antiretrovirals should be the top priority of governments in sub-Saharan Africa. This would be the most humane and cost-effective way of coping with the AIDS crisis in the medium to long term. Yet this is not the case. This essay seeks to examine the extent to which MTCT is being combated in sub-Saharan Africa, the reasons for this lack of commitment and to come up with suggestions to improve the situation.

From the Paper
"The last-mentioned factor brings us to another problem that complicates the issue of MTCT in Africa. There is some controversy over the issue of nursing, as some studies have indicated that HIV is not transmitted in this way, while others have suggested that in poverty-stricken communities, the benefits of breast milk outweigh the risks posed by possible MTCT of AIDS. The problem is that - unlike in North America - in sub-Saharan Africa countless numbers of babies die of malnutrition, or from infectious diseases. Breast milk provides some measure of protection from both of these, as it is an ideal source of nutrition, and also passes the mother's antibodies to infants. Thus, it is extremely difficult to know whether to advise HIV positive mothers not to nurse - more harm may be done than good."

Introduction
The Importance of Quality Parenting vs. Quantity Parenting
Comparison of Stay-at-home Mothers and Working Mothers
Cultural Parenting
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the past decade, different parenting styles across cultures and the quality parenting displayed by both stay-at-home mothers and working mothers has emerged as a significant concern among parents, educators, and policy-makers alike. This concern over the topic regarding the differences in quality parenting and quantity parenting has been spurred by the problems raised by the educational system and police departments. Delinquent acts committed by children have become a major issue in the United States; in Southern California the public has been overwhelmed with stories from the media, providing graphic evidence of a crime wave generated by our youth who, according to media reports, are victims of poor parenting styles."

Mother to Child Transmission of AIDS in Africa, 2008.
A research proposal to look into the transmission of AIDS from mothers to their babies.

Abstract
This paper is a research proposal on the topic of mother to child transmission (MTCT) of AIDS in Africa. It includes information regarding effective ways to prevent MTCT, and highlights the sad truth that these methods are under-utilized, and that women in Africa are often powerless to protect themselves from and their unborn children from the virus.

Expected Outcomes
From the Paper
"In addition, AIDS in Africa is mainly heterosexually transmitted, and is more associated with poverty than with any particular sexual preference. Experts speculate that this may be partly due to the fact that poverty in Africa is all too often accompanied by untreated sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs). These STDs can lead to lesions in the genital region, and the lesions allow for easier transmission of the HIV virus. Because AIDS in Africa is about poverty, it should be addressed with social programs. And as social programs should be based on sound research, the more research that is done on this topic, the better (Barnett and Whiteside, 2002)."

Working Mothers and Child Care, 2008.

Abstract
The paper discusses the concern of new mothers that leaving a baby in a child care facility will diminish its ability to recognize its mother. The paper explains that those who select a good child care facility have little reason for concern about attachment. The paper looks at the sociological research that has proven that high-quality child care is beneficial for babies and young children and does not diminish attachment to the mother.
From the Paper
"Many new mothers have deep concerns that returning to work shortly after giving birth and leaving their baby in a child care facility every day could have a detrimental effect on the baby's ability to recognize its mother. They have a tendency to believe that frequent contact with their baby is necessary in order for a mother-child bond to form, develop, and be maintained. Consequently, they wonder if child care is always bad for babies and young children.
"I can offer reassurance in response to these concerns, for many sociological studies have been conducted in order to identify the influence of childcare on babies and young children, and most of these studies indicate that there are no negative effects. For example, Bengt-Erik Andersson's (1992) research and analysis of this issue indicates
that child-care is beneficial for babies. He studied socioemotional behavior such as attentiveness versus distractibility, impulsivity and short temper, assertiveness, and interactions with others, and none of his study results "indicated negative effects of day-care during infancy.""

The woman is dressed in a simple white gown reminiscent of the clothing of the ancient Romans or Greeks. This work, which is oil on canvas and measures 143.6 x 162.6 cm, features soft colors with pinks, pale blues, and browns dominating. The colors of the mother and child are skin tones heightened with a great deal of pink. The composition is extremely simple, with the figures occupying the lower half of a diagonal line that runs from the lower left corner of the canvas to the upper right and is carried through by the line of the woman's arm. The space is extremely shallow even though a great..."

Abstract
This paper examines how there is a clear relationship identified between the level of parental involvement in children?s education and their level of academic achievement and how, while a relatively new research area, there has been increasing evidence identified that suggests that the quality of these links influences children's and adolescents' academic success. It is the hypothesis of this paper that these effects will tend to fade as children grow older, and this paper provides a critical review of the scholarly literature, followed by a discussion of the findings. A summary of the research is presented in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"The comforting family images of ?Father Knows Best,? ?Ozzie and Harriet,? and ?Leave it to Beaver,? have served to characterize the popular image of the American family for many people. The father worked, the mother vacuumed in high heels and pearls and the kids were sometimes mischievous but basically good. According to Arlene and Jerome Skolnick, though, this image of a typical American family was not only inaccurate, it helped to create a popular misconception about how families should be, instead of how they actually are. These unrealistic expectations have caused untold problems in families throughout the country as the members struggle to fit into the pattern and become frustrated when they do not measure up."

"Effects on Child Behavior of Mothers Working Outside The Home: A Literature Review
Introduction: Topic Identification
Recently, television and print media in the United States reported research by Mary Eberstadt (2001) indicating that the children of mothers who worked outside the home displayed behavioral problems far more frequently than the children of mother who stayed at home. Eberstadt (2001) concluded that the causal source of the problem was a combination of day care and an absence of maternal contact and supervision.
The issue reported by Eberstadt (2001) is important, and, while her findings may be valid, the failure of the media to fully identify her background and that of the journal that published her work indicates a need to explore the issue..."

Abstract
This paper provides a critical analysis of the book, "Mother to Mother", by Sindiwe Magona. The book, "Mother to Mother", is a touching and elegant story of race relations and misunderstanding in South Africa. The paper explains how the author bases her book on a true incident, but looks at it from the eyes of a mother who loves her son but recognizes his inadequacies. It states that the book is a devastating look at apartheid, violence, and anger in a society long split between black and white.
From the Paper
"This emotional book looks at both sides of a young white woman's murder in a black township in South Africa. The book begins with the haunting line "My son killed your daughter" (Magona 1), and that line grabs the reader from the beginning, and makes them want to learn more about the two families and their responsibilities to themselves, and the their community. The book covers only two days chronologically, but the author skillfully uses flashbacks to look back on her life and the life of her son, to illustrate the hatred and violence at work in South African society that created such a "monster" as her son and the other killers. The mother is not unaware that her child has turned into something she cannot control, but she is also aware that the lifestyle of poor blacks in a dominant white society has been the spark that created the fire under the murderers. Coming from a life without hope, how can they see anything else for themselves?"

Abstract
The paper examines the role of the mother as educator of her child or children. The paper contends that firstly, the expectations of mother as educator are glossed. Then the paper studies the historical role of sole and first educator that the mother has traditionally held. Next, the paper mentions the phenomenon of working mothers and the use of day care centers as surrogate mothers and teachers. Finally, the paper discusses instances of underprivileged children and home schooled children.
From the Paper
"One of the most important works by the impressionist painter Mary Cassatt is "Family Group Reading," a beautiful and touching painting made in 1901. In the painting, a mother is depicted with her child on her lap, the two of them reading a book together. The aesthetic and monetary importance and value of this painting to the world of art is for another subject and another paper entirely. But the statement that this work makes on the subject of a mother's role as educator to her children is priceless. In Cassatt's time in turn-of-the-century France, most children of her class were raised and educated by nurses or nannies, not by their mothers."

Abstract
In this paper the author examines the rights and wrongs involved in revealing the true identity of the birth mother of an adopted child.He considers both sides of the discussion for and against in revealing the truth and how it can effect all the parties involved. The paper highlights all of the important emotional and medical issues that are at hand here and concludes with the importance of telling the truth to prevent further problems.
From the Paper
" There is obviously an emotional attachment or detachment to the idea of identifying and even meeting one's birth mother. Some are surely angry, even though their adoptive parents have been to them what their biological mother could not provide. Often the first bitter question is "Why did you get rid of me?" To others, the sardonic display of cold emotion would surely presage the sort of remark "My living parents obviously care enough about me to give me things you didn't want to."
