- Assignment 8 Gender and Sex Roles -- Preston Adams, 02:41:13 04/24/07 Tue
I think traditional sex roles are not exactly conducive to an absolutely free personality development because the sex roles guide us towards whatever gender one appears to be physically. If the development was truely free, it would not guide individuals in any particular way and would just let people develop their gender on their own accord. However, I don't know if it is possible for people to grow and develop and not be influenced by people's perception of their gender and sex.

No I do not believe that traditional sex roles contribute to a free personality. I think that we begin stereotyping children at too young of an age when they really do not know what their own freedom's are yet. I think that parents who enforce strict sex roles often create children that are intolerant and view other children as weird. These other children most likely have no idea that sex role stereotypes are being broken. I think that by pushing traditional sex roles on children at such an early age we are opening the children who are not exposed to strict sex roles to discrimination from their peers.

I do not believe that society set sex roles lead to a free personality at all! How can you be truely free when you have contraints and will be looked at as "weird" if you do not follow the rules that others have set out for you? It is proven that if you let a young boy play with dolls or visa versa (girl play with trucks) that it will in no way effect how that person turns out or how their sexual identity is determined. I think society should let people do as they want with their own lives.

No I do not think that the traditional sex roles contribute positively to a free personality. I feel this way because, if you feel like you want to do somthing that is not considered the norm for your sex then you will be stereotyped. If traditional sex roles contributed positively to a free personality then there would not be so many labels placed on so many people in today's times for liking things that are not considered appropriate for them. Ex: If a man wears pink then he might be considered gay. As a free individual he should be able to do this without anyone looking at him the wrong way.

Yes, I think that the traditional male and female role contribute to the development of a free personality. The vast majority of infants born are born with the sex of a male or female. I think that it not only society view of what a male or female should do, I think that it is natural. This is the way nature has selected it to be. The environment just feeds on that.

A truly free person does not need to be defined by any artificial definitions of any characteristics. They are comfortable enough in themselves to be whoever they are, whether if that is against or in support of traditional gender roles. A truly free person carries no label, they do not allow others to define them and they often do not need to define themselves. They just do what they enjoy doing because they enjoy it, and for no other reason.

- A Truly Free Personality -- Jennifer Barclay, 22:00:07 04/16/07 Mon
Do you feel that traditional sex roles contribute positively to the development of a truly free personality? Why or why not?
Sadly, no I do not feel that traditional sex roles contribute positively to the development of a truly "free" personality. To me a truly free personality is the ability of a person to develop their likes/dislikes without the constraints of gender specified molds. For instance, I feel that if a boy wants to play with dolls, let him play with dolls, if a girl wants to play with trucks, let her play with trucks.
I do not feel like that positively contribute to a "free" personality because there are too many constraints placed on what a boy or girl does, what they play with, how they dress, how they act, feminine vs. masculine that tend to mold how they develop. And instead of developing freely, they are almost forced into behaving a certain way because of the certain actions that are deemed positive for either a boy or a girl.

- Gender and Sex Roles -- Lauren Barr, 20:13:02 04/16/07 Mon
I am torn between my decision. I feel that in a way traditional sex roles can contribute positively to developing a truly free personality, but then again I do not. When we are younger, most parents are more concerned on how their children are looked at. In doing so, they make sure that if it is a boy, they play with boy toys, and if it is a girl, they play with girl toys. Say, for instance, if a boy is playing with a doll, it is seen as not right, so the parent atomatically takes it away and refers to it as a "girl's toy." This later on in life may make them think that they have to follow male trends and can not in any way be girly. Which is not so. Some guys have feminine ways, not just physically but also emotional. The same thing with girls. Take, for instance, me. I am a girl and at times am very, very girly. However, I am also very athletic, which is seen to some people as "boyish." However, when I was younger I was not restricted to playing with just girl toys. I have developed a personality of my own.

- Gender Sex Roles -- Jerrika Jones, 20:10:50 04/16/07 Mon
No,I do not believe that the traditional sex roles contribute positively to the development of a truly free personality. The reason that I say this is because if a child grows up believing that just because of there sex they are entitled to to be and act a certain way, they can not be truly free. If a little girl is told that her role as a female is to play with dolls, cook, and clean than this is all that she knows and she has not had that opportunity to make her own decisions.

- Gender & Sex Roles -- Steven Dockery, 20:02:22 04/16/07 Mon
Yes, but first, what is truly free personality? Truly free personality is someone that can express their opinion on any subject, while doing something else. Traditional sex roles are in place to show people who is male and who is female. This does not mean that we have to raise our children that playing with dolls is a bad thing or a good thing instead, dolls are toys and that is all. Yes, males have rough play and girls have soft play.
I think it all comes down to where you are raise up at. If you are raised up on a farm in the county, as a girl, then you are going to have to pull your weight and help throw the hay. If you are raised up in the city, as a girl, then you are going to act nice and sweet.

- Sex Roles -- Danielle Campbell, 19:59:00 04/16/07 Mon
I think that it depends upon what roles you are talking about. The roles we assign people can be restrictive. If a girl happens to have a talkative, dominant personality she would feel rstricted trying to fit into the "quiet and submissive" role that some ascribe to women. However, it is possible to become so "unrestricted" that it is counterintuative. In some cases a modern woman might not feel free to be quiet and submissive because society is telling her she must be vocal about her rights and ambitions.

- Gender Sex Roles -- Demetria Howard, 19:46:48 04/16/07 Mon
No, I do not think that traditional sex roles contribute positively to the development of a truly free personality. The fact that one would label such a term "sex roles" gives true meaning to the idea that individuals are suppose to act in accordance to his or her gender. In most cases, from the very moment a child is born,gender, as it is defined, is being constructed. The way we dress children, the toys we select, even the words we use help them to understand what is considered socially and unsocially acceptable. Sex roles places us into a catagory of what society says is the norm. When one choses to deviate from that, his or her behavior is deviant and there are often questions regarding the normality of the childs development and personality.

I believe that you are not a so called free spirit until you have the right to choose to do so. It is the parents responsiblity to care to infant as the sex is was born. They want their child to be open to other things, they just need to learn the difference in what is male and female. It is alright for the young girl to be like sports more than barbies. She could pay for her college by playing on the softball team. Though in todays culture if a young boy likes to dance than he is called a fag.

No, I do not agree that traditional sex roles contribute positively to the development of a truly free personality. When the child is younger the parent may buy certain types of toys that would go along with the gender of the child. As the child gets older though I think that the child has the right to choose what attracts them more rather than the parent choosing whats right. By letting a child do this I believe that their true personality will apear which makes them an individual.

Gender and Sex Roles -- LaTamara Jones, 14:42:20 04/16/07 Mon
No,I do not believe that the traditional sex roles contribute positively to the development of a truly free personality. A truly free personality is someone who is being theirselves and is not confined to what and how they have been brought up to be and do. You should be able to think and do how you feel based on your morals and ethnics not on what people would want you to be. As an American we are free to having our own opinion about the way we do things and carry ourselves.

- Gender and sex roles -- Julia White, 09:55:03 04/16/07 Mon
I feel that the expression and confinement to traditional roles can prohibit someone from truely being theirself. If everytime you do something you have to act a certian way and not how you would really want to act that is keeping you back. Tradional roles would have women doing only jobs like teaching and nursing and the men would run the companies, be doctors, and fight crime. Becuase women have fought for so long to put away these images they now are able to run companies and be mothers or they can be the heart sergeon. There fore tradtional sex roles do not contribute positively to the development of a truely free personality.

I do not feel like the typical sex roles prohibit the development of a free personality. I think that this is something that is developed by the individual, and these gender roles, specifically those assigned as children, are simply a tool in developing in ones personality. However, even though I don't think that gender roles are necesarily a good thing for developing free personality either. I think these gender roles can affect aspects of ones personality; however, simply because a young boy plays with Barbies instead of G.I. Joes, he is not going to be homosexual as an adult.

- Assignment 8 -- Leslie Long, 20:36:59 04/14/07 Sat
I believe that a truly free personality would be one that was not pushed one way or another while developing. If a girl was raised without the exclusive expectation to clean, cook, and be a nurturer, like females are, but also to be competitive, confident, and other traditionally considered male personality qualities, then she would have a better chance at developing a free personality. And vice versa for a male child. In developing a truly free personality, a child would not be discouraged when being creative and unique. The child would not have gender roles forced on him or her. I do not feel that traditional sex roles contribute positively to the development of a free personality. When gender roles are forced or taught they put a sort of hold on the girl or boy. Boys and girls all have the ability to learn in all areas and develop various personality traits. These traits and skills may be held back becuase of traditional sex roles. A strongwilled girl may try to change and become more submissive becuase of what is expected of her. She then may not accomplish what she might have by being strongwilled. The same could be said for a boy. Boys are traditionally not expected to be nurturing and sensitive, so a boy who is naturally these may not develop his true personality because he feels he has to hide these traits.

- Sex Roles -- Jessica Goodwin, 15:49:38 04/12/07 Thu
I think that traditional sex roles are good and that they do not limit one's ability to be a free individual. I think that you can still be a girl who plays with dolls or a boy who plays with trucks and still be free to play with anything or grow up to be anyone. Just because girls play with traditional girl toys and boys with traditional boy toys doesn't mean that they are being restricted from being a free individual. Boys can play with trucks and dolls and still be a normal boy. Adults are too worried about appearances, and children just like to play with toys. They shouldn't be restricted and will be free individuals even if they do play with traditional toys.

I do not believe that the conventional sex roles of society prohibit the development of a free personality. I feel like at a young age, these are merely tools to help aid in this development. Just because we tell boys they are supposed to play with G.I Joes does not mean that will not grow up to have an interest in interior decorating. I feel like there are many other factors that contribute to the development of a unique personality and sex roles play a very small part.

I believe that I am at stage 5 because of my ability or knowledge of what's right and wrong. I am concern with what happening in the world and it value system. I want the world I live in to be a better place for my children to live in.
I don't think that I am at the same level as the "Founding Fathers" of the United States. It is sad to say that they were at the postconventional level at full formal operations, since they neglected to recognized a whole race of people as human beings.

I have to say that I am in the Instrumental Purpose and Exchange Stage. I think I am at this stage because I get this from my father. My dad does favors/deals with people and in return somewhere along the line they return the favor or finish the deals. He also doesn't hold grudges which where I also that from. This was the Italian way he was raised. ; )

If I had to choose a stage of Kohlberg's Moral Development it would more than likely be stage 4 1/2, the transition stage because it is the stage where I am curently at now and it is in my age group and where my focus is more so on society rather than self and the greater good.

- Moral Development Stage -- Jennifer Barclay, 23:24:19 03/28/07 Wed
I believe that I am in level 2, stage 3 of moral development. I'm still in that stage where I do things and make my decisions based on what other people expect out of me, but I believe that I am honestly moving out of that stage into the 4th one. I'm beginning to get out of that mold of doing things based on the expectations of others and beginning to do things that I want to do that are still in the constructs of the rules and regulations.
For example, instead of getting nagged for not doing something crazy that my friends may want me to do, I'm more concerned with the consiquences of what would happen if I were caught or went outside the rules and regulations regarding the certain activity.

- Moral Development -- Danielle Campbell, 21:34:41 03/28/07 Wed
It's very hard to decide what stage I am in. There are days when I am self centered, and what others think of me influences alot of my decisions. Although I know that I understand that what people think does not make something right or wrong. So, I don't think I am in stage 3. There are days when I make decisions based on rules, but at the same time I am learning about not living by rules but by what is really in the best interests of everyone. I know what I believe about what is right and wrong and it is those beliefs that govern my decisions. Some days I can see how it is best for all of society for me to live according to the things I believe, and sometimes I simply live according to those beliefs even though I cannot see the greater purpose. For this reason, I think I am in stage 4 1/2. I am in that trasition phase where many times my answer really is "who can tell?".

I believe that I am in the 4 1/2 transition stage. I believe this because I am a freshman and college and just mad the major transition from high school to college. Also this is usually the time when people are trying to figure out who they truly are. These are reasons that I would categorize myself in the transition stage because of the many changes I am going through in college.

I beleive that I have just left stage 3. I use to always think about what other people think about me and what they would say about me if I did certain things. I have always did things to keep other people from talking about me in any kind og way. I always wanted people to say good things about me no matter what. Then I start to reallize people are going to dislike you either way it go no matter what you do,you can not live your life trying to please other people I feel as if I am now moving into stage 4-1/2. I am getting to that point were you do what you want and I will do what I want. You be you and I be me. If you don`t like it so what at least I know I am not liked for being who I am and not trying to be someone else.

Personally, I think I am in the transition stage 4 1/2. I have not yet reached the age requirement to be in stage 5 so I am not sure if I would ever be in that stage and I do not think I am fully out of stage 4 because I find myself having many qualities of this stage. I find myself trying to abide by the rules (law) in many of the things I do, however tend to not follow them sometimes. For instance, the example of the red light in the middle of the night. If I were stuck there forever, and no one was around, I would run it. However, when I do make a decision I sometimes base it on what "ought" to be done, instead of what I want to do, which is in stage 5. However, once I reach the age limit, I will be able to know for sure whether I belong in stage 4 or 5.

- Assignment 7 -- Steven Dockery, 18:18:15 03/28/07 Wed
If I had to pick a stage that I would fit better in. I would have to pick stage 7, why. It is like this I am passed stages 1 & 2. I know if you do a crime then you should do the time. Making deals don’t work in the real world, it only work with children. So I am passed stages 3 & 4. I know that all people are bad and good at times. We all have our good days and we have our bad days. So I am passed stages 5 & 6, too. In these stages you try to fit in, get along with the other people.
I can get along with a lot of people. I see it this way, I was on my own at a young age and I told my self that I want a better life. So, I am in college. I think out side the box about everybody because I think that people can do a lot if they put their mine to it, but instead we tell our selves that we can not do it. So we don’t even try. I know better living on $25 a week and still making a living. I told myself that I am going to make it. A lot of people tell me that I can’t but I know I can. With this I think I am in stage 7.

I believe I am in the 4 1/2 stage of moral development because I base most everything on mine or another persons emotions and not to mention, I am in the age bracket for this stage. I 100% believe each person should make his/her own decisions because your actions show the people around you what type of person you are. Although I do tend to judge what others do, I do not think it is always appropriate and I wish I could NOT judge other people because I believe this would make me a better person.

I'm really not sure of what stage of Kolhberg's moral development because i share characteristics of many of the stages. i tend to be a little egocentric at times. Ithink that i am always supposed to have what i want and have things my way. The only person that i put before myself is my daughter. I also obey rules to avid punishment, but who doesn't. Sometimes we break the rules and may not agrre with them, but most people just go ahead and do what the law states to avoid suffering the consequences. Sometimes i need the approval of ohters but sometimes i do what i think is right even though other might not like it. I consider something to be wrong if it violates or harms another person,it just seems like everyone should feel that way but i guess that is no the case b/c if it was we would not have so many bad things going on in the world. So i guess i would have to say that i am in the transitional stage because there is not one stage that i conform to totally and i am still young so i am sure that my way of thinking will change whether it moves forward or backward.

I believe that I am in either stage 4 1/2 or 5. The reason I say this is because I always try to do what is best for all those affected not just myself. There are instances thought that I fall into that I really have no moral opinion on the subject, mainly do to the reason that we don't know if it is right or wrong. Things that often are disputed among individuals are usually things that I have no moral opinion on because who is to say who is right. In those cases I try to do what works best for me and those immediately affected by the decision I make.

I believe that I am in stage 4 1/2 of moral development. I feel like I could easily fit into stage 4 or stage 5 at this time in my life. The reasons I feel i could fit in stage 4 is that I have caught myself practicing behaviors such as going through a redlight if no one is around, when I know I won't get caught. However, I don't display all the actions of stage 4. However, stage 5 has an age limit that I haven't reached yet, so I can't fully be in that stage either. Although, I feel like many of my decisions are based on the moral idea of right vs wrong. I think that I am in stage 4 1/2 for the mean time, and will progress on to stage 5 for good eventually, but I am not sure when.

I think that I am in stage 4 1/2 in moral development. This is because while I want to follow all the rules, and meet expectations, I think that there are certain circumstances that could call for actions or decisions that are not necessarily law/rule abidding. I think that I would act according to the situation and my emotions, using those to justify my actions, right or wrong. Also, I find myself seeing both sides to a situation of another and having a hard time judging the situation and taking a stance solely with either side. Therefore, I would say I am a 4 1/2.

Although there is no stage four, I would like to believe that I am somewhat in between a four and a five, making me about a 4 1/2. I believe that every act has a reaction, and that there are consequences for one's actions. I am not one to judge others because I believe that in order to do so one has to be fully informed and aware of their situation. Furthermore, I believe that once an individual reaches a certain age, usually middle-late adolescence, he/she should be responsible enough to know right from wrong; and should,therefore,make decisions based on that knowledge. I can assume that this great belief in how things "ought" to be places me more into stage 5.

I believe that I am in stage 5. I could still be in 4 1/2 somewhat though, it is hard to decide! But I probably fit into stage 5 best. I believe this because I do try to think of what would be best for more people than just myself. I also believe that I have reached formal operations because I do think criticallly and more than 5 minutes into the future. I try to think what would be best for myself as well as others, mainly my son. I also try to think about what would be best for in the long run and not just the here and now. I try to think of what I "ought" to do for others and what would be beneficial for everyone rather than just what is going on right now. I also know and understand why we have laws and rules but know that there is more than one way to look at what is right and wrong.I said that I feel I might still be in 4 1/2 because I try to think that emotions are important and all people have the right to their own opinion. But I do feel that I am capable of looking past my emotions to make decisions that would be better for the majority. For that reason I say I fit in stage 5 more closely than 4 1/2.

I believe that I am in stage 4 1/2 of my moral development. Most ethical situations are extremely relative to me. I suppose since I am still young and still formulating my ideals and who I am, I feel like I can't judge someone's actions as right or wrong. What may be deemed morally wrong in one situation might be justified in another.

I don`t think intelligence test gage someones true intelligence level. Some people are not good test takers and others get nerous when you talk about test. Plus just because a person did not pass the intelligence test does not mean that they don`t have book sense.

- eating disorders -- Christy Dumas, 19:34:13 03/19/07 Mon
I believe that eating disorders are important to talk about in class. Some people may not feel as if they have an eating disorder, they may feel as if it is okay to vomit or have a certain eating pattern to stay thin. Discussing this in class will give everybody knowledge of eating disorders. I don`t know a lot about eating disorders so I know I will learn a lot in class plus I want to be a teacher and it will help me to educate young girls in my class with eating disorders.

- Bonding -- Christy Dumas, 19:19:01 03/19/07 Mon
I have a few thoughts on bonding between the mother and child. Not
only do I believe in bonding with the mother but I also believe that
there is an importance with bonding with the father as well. I believe
that kids will be emotionally scarred for life without a bonding
between their parents. My nephew never knew his father until he was
seven years old. He was the happiest person ever when he seen his
father. Ever since his father has been back they have gain a bond that
is very strong. But it was important to him to have his father in his
life. I believe that it takes both parents to raise a child even
though we have seen single mothers and single fathers raise there
child but it still takes two. But I think it is more important for a
bond to be between the mother and the child so that the child will
know who their mother is. My mother and I have always had a bond until
we started to argue alot because I wanted to run in the streets and
never wanted to be home. After I went through that stage I realize
that some things that I did were wrong and because of the bond we had,
she automatically knew why I was going through that stage and she
understood me. It was just hurting her to see me act like I did. She
knew that I was heart broken and that I would soon be out of that
stage. Sometimes now she will call and ask me whats wrong when there
is something wrong with me for real.I would ask her why did she call
and ask that question and she would say it`s a mothers intuition.

I don't think that intelligence testing tells you what that
person is capable of learning. The person may not do well
on the test. Some people are scared to death when they
have to take a test. I don't think a test is the best means
to find an individuals intelligence.

- I.Q. Tests -- Jennifer Barclay, 21:22:33 03/14/07 Wed
I.Q. tests vary. There are so many different ones out there and there are so many different ways that people have developed these tests. One good things about these tests however is that it provides the students and teachers a way to measure how a student is progressing and what they may or may not need help on in the future.

Intelligence testing obviously is not effective in classifying a person's total intelligence, but it is definitely useful in identifying certain aspects of intelligence. It can identify test taking proficiency. It can also reveal whether one has a learning style that lends itself to standardized tests or a different kind of learning style that requires a different sort of instruction/testing. It seems that intelligence testing is most valuable when used with other methods as well.

I think that one positive thing about intelligence testing, is that it can HELP to decide which level of learning that a student is ready for. I know that all tests are not the same, but the tests will help show the certain areas that a child is either doing well in or struggling with. I am not saying that it will say whether a child is intelligent or not but just see if they need to be challenged more or helped.

Intelligence testing can be useful in that it can measure where some people may be gifted and some people may be lacking knowledge. I do not believe that these tests can measure whether a person's intelligence as a whole, simply because there are too many exceptions and circumstances that could cause these tests to be inaccurate.However, I do believe that they can give a general insight into where a person could improve in certain skills and where they may show more strength.

I believe that one reason that intelligence testing is good is that it can measure how well a person can handle tests. Most people that can not take these intelligence tests do poorly in cass tests as well. Its not that these people are not smart, but really that they do not know how to test. I have seen a person walk in a room and take a test they knew nothing about but aced it becuase they knew the "trick". Some people have an ability to look at questions they know nothing on and answer correctly. I believe that intelligence tests can pick out these people. Those that can not should be helped more by teachers or others who know the "trick" to do better on intelligence tests and other tests.

I believe that one good thing about intelligence testing is that, even though it does not measure whether an individual is highly intelligent or stupid, it is good in measuring how well a person does in those subject areas that are in the test. It is a good way to test younger children to see what they know and don't know to determine what they need to be taught or already know, because you can test them without them really knowing that it is a test like in the short film that we saw.Also it can be used to determine how well a person takes a standardized test, but in testing an individual's overall knowledge with one test is impossible because the test is very limited.

I think that one positive aspect of intelligence testing is that it allows others to measure your strengths and weaknesses, and assist you as necessary. These test can help you determine what type of learner you are and what type of job you could fit best into. Instead of being disappointed when you see that a certain profession isn't a good fit for your skills you can find a job that fits into the skills you already posses. Also you can get assistance in the areas that need improvement based on the test results so that you can be successful in whatever particular area.

- Intelligence A-5 -- Heather Bauer, 15:14:24 03/13/07 Tue
I think that one positive aspect of intelligence tests is that wether or not it is always correct, it is a way to test some specific areas of intelligence. I think it is positive to have something to guage and compare students,because even though seperating students into groups based on IQ can cause problems it is something that has to be done. It is inevitable that all students will not be on the same level, and by having these tests it is easier to get students working on the level that they need to be. However, I do not think that these tests should be the sole things looked at. It is proven that some people do better on tests than other, and like we discussed in class there can be things such as homelife, hunger, and environment that can alter these test scores. Yet, I think if these tests are used along with the students grades, participation, and other factors in school, they can be effective in guaging a students potential.

- Assignment 5 -- Leslie Long, 18:37:53 03/12/07 Mon
One positive reason for intelligence testing is to see where different students are placed in schools. Statistically the students with lower IQ's will not perform as well in school nor will they try hard to succeed. As we discussed in class, the lower IQ students may try for a while to make high grades and be successful but will eventually fall back into not caring about grades and completion of school. With intelligence testing schools can place those with higher IQ's in classes and programs that push the students and produce more productive people. The schools should not provide more technology or attention to the higher IQ students, just have them in a more suitable setting. The same goes for the lower IQ students. With intelligence testing the students can be placed where they will learn better and retain more information. They will learn at a suitable rate and one student that may have been left behind will be able to understand more clearly at a pace with students of the same IQ. But like I said before, the school system does not need to forget about the lower IQ students, just have a place for them also as well as pushing those with higher intelligence so that both are at an advantage rather than out of place. Many smart kids do not want to "act" smart around lower IQ students and that also creates a problem with their success, but if they are placed with students like them they are more likely to use their intelligence and be more successful.

- Intelligence Testing A#5 -- Demetria Howard, 18:25:47 03/12/07 Mon
One positive aspect of intelligence testing is that acts as a tool to measure the academic and cognitive areas of development. In an educational setting, Intelligence testing can be used to gauge one's verbal,spatial, mathematical, and body-kinesthetic skills. Such an assessment can be beneficial to teachers when they assign learning materials below or above the child's academic level. As with any form of testing,it is important to remember that,in many cases, factors and circumstances alter one's testing performance. Therefore I believe that no one standard form of testing is valid enough to support a child's overall academic level of intelligence.

If a person does not do really well on there IQ test, then this person will probally have more succes in life, than a person that did not perform so well, because the person that did good will have a better self esteem when it comes to there level of intelligence.

- Eating disorders -- Julia White, 19:45:09 02/28/07 Wed
I think eating disorders is one of the most important things that a class should talk about. This rally should start in middle or elementray school. Research has shown that girls in the 5th grade are now developing eating disorders. People need to know early how detrimental this disease can be. I also think that children should be taught the way words can affect a person. By using simple phrases like "suck in your pudge" every once in a while or often to friends can soon make them really believe that they are ugly and fat even when they are not. Children need to learn that saying these things even as a joke can be taken very seriously by some and cause horrible outcomes. I personally have experienced what happens when a person has an eating disorder and it takes alot to come back from one. This is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed quickly in schools.

Yes I believe that Life Span Development should cover topics on eating disorders. I feel that it is very important for people regardless of one's major or profession, to be able to recognize the different disorders, signs, and symptoms that affect the normal development of health. Health issues, especially eating disorders have become so common among todays children. Eating disorders corrupt the lives of adults, teens and adolesence, as well as young grade school age children. Additionally, it is important to note that eating disorders are not just a systematic disorder that effects girls, studies today will show that eating disorders have become just as popular amongst guys. Therefore, since this topic has become so prevalent in our society, there is no question as to whether or not this subject should be discussed.

Discussing eating disorders in any classroom setting, I think, is vital! So many girls see images of skinny, can-see-every-bone models and celebrities every day so many have misconstrued images of what actually is beautiful. I did have a friend who was anorexic in highschool and she never spoke about it but everyone knew. We told her we loved her and that what she was doing was eventually going to kill her. Her parents found out and she recieved the proper treatment. It amazes me how young girls view themselves as "fat" mainly becuase of what they view on a daily basis in the media. I think educating young girls about the dangers of these eating disorders can potentially help improve or even eliminate the problem.

I do think that it is important to discuss eating disorders in class. The main reason is because it is a very serious epidemic right now, and one of the main reasons that the problem has become so large is because people are uneducated on the issues. There are countless numbers of women and men, boys and girls, who are currently anorexic and bulemic. To them, they are simply losing weight quickly;however, they do not realize the severity of what this is doing to their bodies. So in a class, like this development across the lifespan course, it should be taught about the lifelong effects that eating disorders cause. I also think that in some point of everyones life they struggle with their weight, so this topic is appropriate for all students.

Eating disorders are important to be discussed in this class. Our class is about development and eating disorders are something that develop over time, many times as a result of exposure to the media and its images of what perfection is.I did know a girl that had an eating disorder, I think most people (at least most girls) know at least one. I didn't know about it until she was recovering. She developed this problem more out of a rection to the stress and frustration of life than from a desire to be thin. I don't have much experience in this area I guess, except that I'm a girl and I'm pretty sure all girls (and probably guys too) struggle with body image at one time or another. I fight those feelings by remembering what the Bible says about me, that I am "wonderfully made" and that I am loved. We were created as individuals, not meant to all look the same.

Yes, I think that eating disorders should have to be discussed and talked about. In today's world, people come to the conclusion that what someone looks like mean everything. The "ideal person" in today's world, is a skinny, not in any way big, person. However, not everyone looks like that. When people begin worrying about their weight and wanting to look "ideal," some attempt to be skinnier in unhealthy ways, eating disorders. By discussing the issues with eating disorders with people, it can better help them understand that they are doing more harm to their body than anything else. By talking about it, it may be able to help them stop doing this and help them find a better way to lose weight, if they are uncomfortable with the way they look. Yes, I have known someone who had an eating disorder, and they had to go to and get help. This person did not get to far into it and knew she needed help. She is doing a lot better now! However, no, I do not have any experience myself with this. I have a GREAT appetite! haha =)

- eating disorders -- Leslie Long, 19:04:30 02/26/07 Mon
Yes, I believe eating disorders are important to cover in lifespan development because it is connected with self-image which is a huge part of development. In females especially, with all the pressure to be thin and perfect, eating disorders can develop. The disorders develop during puberty usually and can cause drastic changes. They can prevent a girl from menarsch if she is too thin. People can also develop psychological problems from eating disorders and that in itself can influence their lifespan development. By having self image problems that lead to an eating disorder people may not develop properly across their lifespan. I have known a girl with anorexia. She became so thin that she had to go to a clinic. She came to my house one day crying becuase she had eaten a cookie. She has overcome the disorder but had to go through many hours of counseling. I have experienced anorexia and bulemia to a certain extent. When I was a cheerleader, I had pressure from my peers and adults to be thin and wear a small size in my uniform. I would not eat anything and if I did, it would be very small and only when I woke up in the morning so I was starving throughout the day. I have also made myself throw up and known a girl that was severly bulemic. She got sores in her mouth from throwing up. My sister came up to me one day and asked me to please stop because it hurt her to see me doing that. Thankfully, I stopped before it became a serious problem. Myself and the other cheerleaders felt such pressure to be thin at such a young age it makes me sad now to think about.

Talking about eating disorders is another type of development. Understanding how a person developed, can help us understand WHY a person feels they have to be uber skinny and not eat.

I'm not sure if I think if eating disorders should be covered in this class. It is a part of development for some so it does fit in the life span development topic, and it mainly occurs during adolescence and in some cases sooner, so the placement as far as topics being discussed was appropriate, but the subject matter I'm not so sure about. I know that it might bias some individuals or have some of us a little to aware of the problem, and assuming individuals have a disorder they don't necessarily have. I have often been accused of having an eating disorder just because I'm not as hungry as other people, but I eat when I'm hungry, and that’s the point to eat when your body needs to be fed. On the other hand, it could possibly help you to diagnose or avoid the problem all together. It can make us more aware of our word selection and choices when describing something or someone. I guess whether or not this issue is important to this class has a lot to do with why your taking this class and if it will be relevant in the area you plan on teaching in or profession you are entering.

I believe that bonding is a very necessary component in human development.Bonding is a process by which infants form a connection with someone.Whether or not that someone has to be the child's biological parent is uncertain to me. I feel that it is important that the child is held, touched, fed, and loved after birth and throughout the lifespan. Bonding does not have to begin immediately after the birthing process,because for some mothers this is a very overwhelming time. Furthermore, situations and circumstances may sometimes arise which prevent mother-infant bonding. Does this mean that the infant will experience developmental delays? I would think not. Nevertheless, the outside world can be a very strange place to a newborn infant;closeness,bonding,and making a connection with the infant would provide him with a strong sense of security.

This will help prevent us from doing or saying something that could cause someone to start starving themselves or purging, it could help us inform and educate others, and it can enable us to reach out and help someone who has already become anorexic or bulimic. I have never personally known anyone with this disorder, but I have seen many on TV and in movies and it is very depressing that someone would hurt themselves that way just to please others.

Bonding is very important throughout development. It is key not only to bond with your infant but to continue to bond with your child or those around you as they continue to develop. I think sometimes we are so focused on bonding with our infants that as they grow we forget that they still need that quality time. Whenever we incorporate someone new into our immediate circle of friends and family we need to take the time to bond and get to know them.

He was the happiest person ever when he seen his father. Ever since his father has been back they have gain a bond that is very strong. But it was important to him to have his father in his life.

Bonding is something that can not be put into words, it is unconditional love that is unexplainable. We are formed in a nice warm sack that is our comfort zone, then push we are out in this strange world. The babies are scared and alone. When they are held it is warm and cozy, this reminds them of the warm sack. I believe that as I child grows it is beneficial for the parents to spend as much time as they can. Children that are not nutured by someone have a slower developement process. I would prefer to raise my child not a day care but I realize that it does not always happen. My grandmother helped raise my brother and I, due to my mom having to work to make a living, she is a very nuturing woman and was always there when I needed someone to lean on. I believe that I am closer to her because she was always there.

Bonding, I think, is very important when it comes to mothers and children. It should happen right away, because I think it will help make the child realize the comfort and security that they will have with their mother in growing up. I believe that if the child and their mother bond well in the earlier stages of life, it will help in the later stages of life. Instead of the child distancing themselves from their mother as they grow older, I think they would be closer to their mother and know that they can go to her for anything. By doing so it will help with their relationship and will be something that will last their entire lives. No mother wants their child to be scared to come to them with their problems or to not have their child in their lives. It just lets the child know that there is security in their lives!

I believe in having set limits on how much the child can bond so as they don't form an emotional attatchment. I believe that bonding is important but can also be over done (ex. sheltering the child, or the child not leaving home at a normal age around early to mid-20's). If a child has no bonding, is usually when the child gets into more trouble in school and life. There must be a middle ground. Growing up, I was in the middle of both my parents. If I ever need to talk I could go to either of them; but if I wanted to go out or get away from them, they understood and were okay with it.

- Assignment #2 -- Kyera Hayslett (Bonding), 19:57:54 02/07/07 Wed
Yes,a mother and child needs to bond immediately. Even though they have bonded through the whole pregnancy I believe it is possible for a baby to form that same bond with someone else because they are so young. When a baby is born they determine who their mother is because they know their mother's scent. When i had my baby i kept her blanket on me all the time and when i would give her to someone else she might cry but when they had that blanket she felt comfortable because she thought she was being held by me because of the scent.
The bond between a mother and child is like no other. Mothers provide support for their children which is a big part of development. If amother is not their for their child it will have a major impact in a child's life in a negative way. I could not see myself not being in my daughter's life, and i'm sure she feels the same way, because when i caome home from school or work her eyes just light up the whole room.

I believe that bonding between a mother and child should defanitely happen, however, I am not so sure that it must be done immediately. I think that bonding can depend greatly on the child's temperament. I know that my niece was a bit stand-offish as an infant, yet as time went on she became more loving an affectionate. Children will learn to love and bond by being shown love an affection. As long as bonding occurs I don't believe that it matters when it occurs.

In my opinion I think that bonding between the baby and the mother is very important. The baby is going to relie on an adult to help hem/her out. The mother needs to show who she is and who is going to be there for it.
Bonding just don't stop at the mother. It just starts there. The baby bonds with the mother then brother/sisters. Later in life, bonds with other people like a football team or cheerleading team. If the mother does not bond with the baby in a right way then there will be bonding issues down the road.

I believe that bonding is extremely important between a mother and child. Especially in the early stages of the child's life.Infants need that security and relationship with their mothers, however I believe that this bonding is even more important to the mother. I believe a child will bond with his mother, regardless of steps taken immediatley after birth, but I also believe that spending quality time with a young child is very important in their development.

In my opinion I think that immediate bonding between an infant and mother is very important. A mother has to carry the baby for 9 months so they should bond together. I think that if a mother starts off early bonding with kids then most of the time they will be able to bond better as the kid is growing up.

I think that immediate bonding is very important for the child. Since the child has been living in the mother for 9 months, the mother and child already have a close relationship. I belive that later on in the child's life the bonding will have an plesent affect. I also belive that the child will be affectionate and bonding with their own children as their mothers were with them.

- bonding -- Lauren McVay, 14:28:42 02/07/07 Wed
Bonding, I believe is a very important factor in early mother/child relationships. As soon as a child is born, visability of the mother may not be available but hearing is and as soon as a child can recognize a continual voice as being a caring, providing one, a meaningful bond will be formed. This can offer comfort to a child and also to the parents becuase I believe recognition will be evident after a while. Although some children are put immediately up for adoption after birth and later in life do well in foster homes or adoption homes, I believe they will lack a subconsious maternal bond and comfort with those people. This may not effect the rest of the childs life but I do believe that it is very important not only for the child but for the mother and father to begin the bonding process with their child.

- Bonding -- Julia White, 12:00:48 02/07/07 Wed
I think that it is very important for a mother and her child to bond right away. Many mothers do not have an overwhelming feeling of love and need for their child right after birth and I think that if you have them begin bonding anyway those feelings will go away faster. I believe that some mothers who feel this way then do not see their children for a period of time will have those feelings for longer. If the infant does not have his/her mother there is no dount in my mind that they will develope more slowly. It has been proven that a child develops more slowly without any touch or love. Even premies will grow quickier if put on lambs wool since some can not be held. Just this soft touch helps so much. In conclusion I strongly believe that bonding is very important for both a child nad the mother and should begin as soon as possible.

- Bonding -- Heather Bauer, 11:40:10 02/07/07 Wed
In my opinion, bonding should begin immediately after birth. The mother and child have never been separated, and I don’t believe as soon as they are born is the right time for this to begin. Understandably, if there are conditions that prohibit this, such as a unhealthy mother or child then there should be separation so that proper medical attention can take place. I think that this immediate bonding is not only important for the child but for the mother as well. In most cases of birth, it can be a traumatic experience for a woman and I think to be able to hold the baby that she just delivered is a right. Though I do thoroughly believe that this bonding is important, I do not think that this few minutes of bonding determines the relationship for mother and child for there on out. Also, I do not think that the child’s life develops immediate stability or healthy relationships from this few minutes either. I think all this bonding takes time and love; however, I agree that it should begin immediately.

- Bonding -- Danielle Campbell, 08:21:40 02/07/07 Wed
In my own opinion, bonding with the mother does not have to happen immediately. There seem to be many cases where a baby was adopted or hospitalized and did not have immediate contact with a mother. The important thing appears to be that the baby bonds with someone. I do think that bonding is important and that a you cannot have a healthy childhood without it. Children need stability in their lives. I don't think, however, that the first five minutes after birth (for example) are magical and if you don't bond then you're just out of luck. We would never be convinced that a child could have a healthy, stable, childhood if they DID bond with the mother for the first five minutes and then had no consistent adults in their life after that. Obviously, it would be silly to assume the opposite extreme as well. The importance of bonding is that it needs to happen early in a childs life and continue in order to provide stability.

- Bonding -- Jessica Goodwin, 20:34:34 02/06/07 Tue
I believe that bonding should begin right after birth because the first few days, as well as months of a baby's life are very critical in their development emotionally and physically. While some scientists say that optimal development doesn't require such close contact with the mother for the first few days, I think that it should be given anyway. The baby and the mother have been together for nine months and they finally are able to see one another and interact, this is a new learning experience and adjustment period for both. I think that important emotional bonds and attitudes are formed during this time, and the relationship between the mother and child has to develop at some point, so why not form the minute they are born? This bonding can be interrupted if the mother is under too much pain medication or if they are in a hospital where they do not have a "rooming-in" set-up. Both of these hinder the immediate development, and can prove for an impatient mother, and a lack of initial bonding. I think that though it has not been scientifically proven, bonding should begin immediately.

- Bonding etc. -- Leslie Long, 13:45:14 02/06/07 Tue
I strongly believe that bonding should begin immidiately after birth. I like the way the hospitals now place the newborn on the mother right after birth. The baby has been hearing his or her mother's voice and needs to feel her touch. I believe that right away the baby realizes and feels attachment to his or her mother. When I had my son, I had to have a C-section due to the face that I did not dialate past four centimeters. I had to just lay there and wait for them to pull him out and the entire time I was extremely anxious. I had to wait until I got to the recovery room to hold him although his dad was able to hold him during the time in between surgery and recovery. It upset me that I could not hold him right away, I thought to myself that the bonding would be disrupted. I just wanted to hold my precious little baby and let him know he was loved very much. Bonding can also begin later in life, but I do believe that it is extremely important for the development of little ones so that they know they are loved and wanted and it creates a connection that also positively stimulates development emotionally. My son will cry at times when I leave him but at other times may not cry. Sometimes he is happy to see me when I come back or at other times if he is busy playing, may ignore me. I know that he knows I am his mother and he feels closeness to me becuase I have held him so much and bonded with him. I feel that becuase of bonding we feel emotionally tied to people, and it creates a comfort zone for us.

I believe that corporal punishment can be very effective if used correctly and consistently. I do believe that there is a differene between parents spanking their children and teachers spanking their children. I think that corporal punishment needs to be administered by loved ones of the child because this can insure that the best interests of the child are represented. A teacher has no obligation or binding familial connection to a child outside of the school environment, thus a teacher may be less inclined to correctlly and responsibly administer corporal punishment. I believe that there is no significant difference between teachers and nurses in regards to corporal punishment of students. I don't believe that there should be a difference because both nurses and teachers are outside of a child's family care network.

Spanking children is not something that everyone may disagree with it just depends on the person. Personally i agree with spanking if it is needed beacause that is the way that it was done when i was a child. My grandmother always said the bible said "spare the rod and spoil the child." If a child is disobedient they need to be punished for this.Sometimes i see children in the stor and they are falling out in the floor and parents do nothing but say please get up. If i did this in public when i was a child i would have gotten a spanking right there for embarressing my parents. I feel that the kids who do that are the ones who get put in time out. Putting a child in time out does not work, in my opinion, they just think it is a joke. I do not think that teachers should discipline children by spanking them beacuse this is the parents job. A child should be taught at home how to act when they go to school. If a child goes to school and the teacher spanks them it will cause major problems with the parents because someone else hit their child.As far as there being a diffence in the way teachers and nurses feel about spanking it just depends on the person because there are some nurses and teachers out there who spank their children.

When it comes to corporal punishment, I don't think that teachers should be able to spank kids. In my opinion I think that if the teacher has a problem with the kid, rather then the teachers spanking them they should just tell the parents and let them take care of it. I think that before spanking your child, you should try other things first and if that doesn't work then spank them. No I don't think that there is a difference between teachers and nurses when it comes to corporal punishment.

- Corporal Punishment -- Demetria Howard, 18:57:48 01/31/07 Wed
Corporal punishment is a discipline technique that I believe should be used as a last resort. When it comes to corporal pnishment, I am neither for it nor against it. The severity of the discipline should depend upon the nature of the behavior. For example, I would not spank my child for receiving a poor progress report if the poor grade was due to her lack of understanding, or maybe she did not have enough time to finish the assignment. But if she failed because she refused to do her work, or was misbehaving, I would punish her.
I believe there is a difference between a parent/teacher spanking a child. First, I feel that discipline starts at home. If parents train their children on how to act, I believe they will behave no matter where they go. And as a parent, I believe that the first time a child misbehaves in public, he/she should be corrected on their behavior right then, right there. It doesn't have to be through corporal punishment. In my opinion, when a parent punishes a child, he/she does it out of love. Not to say that teachers don't love the children, but school is not the place and teachers don't have the time to discipline abrupted children. School is suppose to be a safe haven, kids cant learn through fear.
My stance is the same for nurses. I really can't see the logic behind a nurse punishing a child. Most of the children they come into contact with are supposely if. Nurses and doctors are there to heal not kill.
Again children need to feel safe and loved at and away from home. Corporal punishment is no way to teach a child how to behave.

In regard to corporal punishment I do feel it is necessary sometimes. Although it should only be used as a last resort after you have tried alternatives.So therefore I would use corporal punishment if necessary.Punishment is a consequence that decreases the likelihood that a behavior will occur. Therefore some type of punishment should be used.There is a difference between parents spanking your child and a parent spanking your child. I would not allow a teacher to spank my child if I had one. It should be up to the parent to which extent to spank there child. No there is not a difference between teachers and nurses in regard to corporal punishment, and no there should not be a dfference.

I believe that corporal punishment in schools is not necessary. I do not believe that it is the teacher or administrator's place to spank someone else's children. While researching for a website I was also somewhat surprised that it is a normal occurance in other countries, however, many are trying to change the rules on the punishment. As far as spanking your own children I believe that maybe alternative punishments should be tried first. However, if those other punishments do not work, spanking, not beating, is ok. I do also think that you should never spank in the heat of the moment. This could cause you to hurt the child a lot more than you intended to.

I believe that corporal punishment has a place in child rearing. Having said that, child abuse does not. It's abuse when the punishment is driven by anger and does not have the child's best interests at heart. I really feel that both encouraging good behavior and discouraging bad behavior are important in raising children. I will most likely use corporal punishment on my children, but I don't think that just anyone should have the authority to use corporal punishment. I think it should be the parent's decision when that sort of punishment is appropriate and not a teacher's or a nurse's. If just any authority figure has the prerogative to spank the child there is too much chance that the child will get conflicting messages from different people.

http://www.christian-parents.net/Children/C116_Bum_Rap.htm
My opinion on corporal punishment is an open-minded one. Yes, I will use corporal punishment. It was used on me and I turned out just fine. What I think many people do is interchange “corporal punishment” with “abuse”. A firm spanking can be administered without pain, letting the child know that you mean business without hurting them. For example, when I was a child, I wasn’t spanked often, but when I was I remember that it didn’t hurt and most of the time I cried just because I wasn’t getting what I wanted and I understood that the spanking was a finality to it.
But saying that I am in favor of spanking a child who misbehaves does not mean that I will use it all the time. I believe that spanking should be used as a last resort in a case where other things are not working. Spanking should never be a first attempt at correcting an issue.
I do believe that there is a difference in a parent spanking a child and a teacher spanking a child. At home, parents administer the discipline in certain ways, whatever that may be. In a school setting, a teacher is there to teach and to administer order. If things get out of hand and an unruly student wants to hit and throw stuff, then it’s the teacher’s responsibility to administer punishment (time-out, taking away recess). If that sort of punishment doesn’t work than she has a responsibility to report the child to the principal or contact the parents. In that case, I believe that it is the parent’s responsibility to administer the type of punishment that they know works for their child so that they will learn to behave and understand that just because they are in a different place does not mean that they can get away with things that they can’t get away with at home.
I don’t believe that either should administer corporal punishment to a child that is not their own. Only in extreme circumstances do I believe that a child should be spanked by someone other than their parents and if that case does arise then there should be something stated or signed by the parents allowing the use of spanking as a punishment.

I am for corporal punishment to a certain extent. I have 3 children and I spanked them when I thought they needed to be spanked. I think there is a difference between corporal punishment and physical abuse. I think that what is considered corporal punishment differ from person to person. I would not give my children the kind of whippings I received as a child. I think they there is a difference between a parent spanking and a teacher spanking. The parent is close to his or her own child and that child knows that their parent loves him. A teacher on the other hand doesn't have that close connection with that child. I don't know whether there is a difference between teachers and nurses with regard to corporal punishment. If you're going to inflict pain on a child, a teacher or nurse don't matter.
After reading some of the articles on corporal punishment, I don't know if corporal punishment is the right thing to do. I will refrain from spanking my grandchildren and give them some other form of punishment. As for my children, I hope they aren't mentally affected by their spankings although, they didn't get very many.

This website that I chose states examples negative causes that the child may later on in life. Not only does corporal punishment cause physical harm but also psychological harm. I am very against corporal . No one has the right to hit someone child. I know in some schools they would send home a of paper to get the parents on if the child is do they have a right to get a beating, spanking or . I'm not too sure if they still do that or not. Growing up I received spankings and punishments. Therefore, I not against parents giving their children spankings. Now. I didn't understand the question that if i think there is a difference between the teacher or the nurse giving a spanking.... School nurses? I would think that that would be the as school teachers. Unless the school nurse is your mother. All and all, there is a huge between parents spanking their children and a complete stranger spanking your child. I'm sure all parents have a certain way they would like to their child. Having a parent a child one way and then having someone else without any relation your child another way could probably cause your child some hardcore psychological effects. The End.

This website talks about the pro-spanking side of corporal punishment. It mentions passages in the Bible that disciplinary actions are much needed to raise a child. It quotes God saying It is your duty as a parent to nuture and punish your child. I was spanked when I was little and it will be enforced in my home. Spanking from a parent has more emotion attachment to it, you want to please your parents and make them proud. Who cares if the teacher spanks the child. It never worked on my brother, the only thing that worked was hard labor. I have never heard of a nurse spanking a child.

On the website it explains a research done corporal punishment and how kids respond from corporal punishment. Some start gaining agressove behaviors from corporal punishment. I do agree that corporal punishment should not be in the school system because you will see the same students all the time. Plus as I was reading the site it says that corporal punishment does not teach right from wrong. I feel this statement is true because a child only knows that I am getting a spanking for being bad but if we don`t tell them what they are getting a spanking for and what should they have done to prevent the spanking then they wasn`t taught right from wrong. Now I believe parents should spank their children if they do something terrible I don`t believe in spanking your kids because they are crying to much or being active because that`s what kids do. I believe that you should find something that will keep them active and out of trouble. For example if you have an active child then I would enroll that child on a sports team or any out of school ativity. There is a big difference between parents spanking their kids and teachers spanking. I feel that if everyone spanks your kid then your child will not have the respect that they shoudl actually have for their parents. But if the teachers don`t spank then the child will be more scared to get a spanking by their parents, so the teacher will only have to tell the child to be good or I will tell your mother.

http://www.stophitting.com/disatschool/facts.php.This website focuses on the idea of corporal punishment in the classroom, which I do not agree with. I believe that is a parent's decision whether or not to enforce corporal punishment upon their children not the school's. I believe that corporal punishment can indeed be effective on the home front, but when a child is subjected to it by a teacher or nurse, whom they have no emotional connection with, it is not. Also, a school systems standards as to what would warrant a spanking may not match that of the parents. That is why I believe corporal punishment should lie in the hands of a parent alone.

This site leans more on the side of non-corporal punishment of children in the home. It seems to be research oriented and focuses of the studies of several researchers. My opinion is that you do what works for each individual child. There is no one thing that works for all in every situation. I was spanked as a child but I don't feel as it had any outcome on my behavior, either negative or positive. There just came a point when I wanted to try and do what was right for because it was right. Now my husband, on the other hand, only needed a few spankings as a child because if he got spanked for something he didn't do it again.
The way that we are discipline our 3 year old is a combination. We see that spankings (mainly pinching) aren't as effective as the removal of what he wants, but we still will use them to emphasis a point usually when he has done something dangerous.
As far as corporal punishment in school I am against it. I am from the North were the kids probably need to be hit, but by their parents. I don't feel as if the schools use punishment with the same emotions behind it as a parent. It hurts me to have to scold my son, I feel guilty. But I know that he has to learn or that he will get in trouble or hurt in the real world.

http://www.religioustolerance.org/spanking.htm
Spanking, in my life has never been something that was debatable. I grew up and was taught that spanking is for children when they misbehave. I did not receive as many spankings as my two sisters did, but I am the baby and my parents always said that the youngest gets the least amount of spanking. My oldest sister, who got the most, was the "best." By "best" I mean she did her school work, stayed at home, and did not party and so on. I have read many articles about spanking being suggested in the Bible as necessary, which I consider the truth. There has been much news about corporal punishment recently in the school system. I believe that spanking should be attempted by parents as a way to teach and control their children. If that method does not work they need to try other punishment or reinforcement methods. Talking it out first and spanking after explaining the reasons for the punishment could be an option so that the parent may have time to cool down from anger and so that the child can fully understand why they are receiving the punishment of spanking. I have an 11 month old son and I will use corporal punishment on him when he reaches an age that I believe to be appropriate for him. I think that for moms spanking their sons it may not be effective becuase the boy may be bigger than their mother and therefore not see the spanking as something to fear. I do not believe that a teacher has the right to use corporal punishment. When spanking comes from a parent I believe that it effects the child more than coming from a teacher. Punishment coming from the teacher is less likely to really "get to" the child than coming from the parent becuase with the parent there is feeling and emotion involved. I do not believe there is a difference between nurses and teachers using corporal punishment; neither of the two have the right to use corporal punishment on a child that is not theirs. I do not believe any person other than the child's parent(s) has the right to touch the child in that manner. There should be a difference between parents, teachers, and nurses. Parents should be the most influential in their child's life. They should be there for their children and be very emotionally involved. With parents doing their job in raising the people they are responsible for it should mean that spanking means more than coming from a teacher or nurse. The nurse or teacher may be very close to the child, which is wonderful, but should not take the place of the parent.

- Corporal Punishment -- Heather Bauer, 09:42:45 01/25/07 Thu
http://www.stophitting.com/disatschool/facts.php
I do not believe in corporal punishment. I do not feel as though it is effective in changing the bad behavior of the child; therefore, if it is not correcting a behavior than it is not necessary. Most children when spanked repeatedly do not associate this punishment with what it is that they have done wrong, they associate it with fear or pain. Granted, those feelings of fear or pain may influence the child to do those things less, the lesson is not being learned. There are so many other ways to punish a child where a lesson can actually be learned, such as talking to them or making them write about what it is that they have done wrong. If these methods work just as well, what is the point in spanking a child?
Having a child does give a person the right to discipline a child as they feel needed; however, i think a teacher or a nurse using corporal punishment is outside their responsibilites or rights. I think that teachers should apply other forms of punishment, like those I listed above instead of corporal punishmennt in all situations.
I think the website I fould provides alot of interesting statistics, and if you are interested in the debate on corporal punishment you should view.

- Corporal Punishment -- LIsa Bailey, 09:00:28 01/25/07 Thu
http://www.stophitting.com/disatschool/facts.php. Corporal punishment is intended for some children and not others. I personally would try it and see if it works with particular children; if it does not work then I would not continue spanking but if it does work then I would use it. I believe there is a difference in a teacher spanking a child and a parent. The parents have the right to decide if their child should receive corporal punishment. The teacher only does it because that is what they were taught or how they were brought up and believes that it works on everyone, even though it does not. I do not really believe that there is a difference if a teacher or a nurse uses corporal punishment. Either way you look at it they are only doing it because that is how they were taught to handle things. I believe that no person should ever hit a child or use any type of corporal punishment unless given permission from the parent of that child.

- corporal punishment -- Phillis Williams, 11:42:12 01/24/07 Wed
I am for corporal punishment to a certain extent. I have 3 children and I spanked them when I thought they needed to be spanked. I think there is a difference between corporal punishment and physical abuse. I think that what is considered corporal punishment differ from person to person. I would not give my children the kind of whippings I received as a child. I think they there is a difference between a parent spanking and a teacher spanking. The parent is close to his or her own child and that child knows that their parent loves him. A teacher on the other hand doesn't have that close connection with that child. I don't know whether there is a difference between teachers and nurses with regard to corporal punishment. If you're going to inflict pain on a child, a teacher or nurse don't matter.

- Assignment #2 Corporal Punishment -- Julia White, 22:43:17 01/22/07 Mon
http://www.religioustolerance.org/spanking.htm I do not believe in corporal punishment personally. I think that it is not the place for teachers to hit a child. That should be a right for the parent if they chose to do so. There are some schools that have parents sign a waiver to let principals hit their children. However, this is still wrong becuase the principal may hit your child for other reasons than what you would agree with. I would never use it for my students. There are so many other ways to get things across to a child other than hitting them. For example, you could tkae the child aside from his/her classmates, so they would not feel they need to make some sort of scene to get attention, and explain to them why they did something bad and how to change it. Of course there needs to be some sort of punishment, but hitting is not required. Some parents may feel that this is the only way to get through to their children, but we are not the parents. We are the teachers we are here to teach and if all the student learns is violence, then all they will show is violence. I do not see how nurses could or would use corporal punishment and nor should they. The website I found was very interesting. It shows many statistics and points from a religious view. Some may not agree with religious influence on corporal punishment, but for many it is the main reason they do or do not hit.

I attended Loewen berg school of nursing last semester but I did not have the time to devote to it because I am a new mother. Last year was a very stressful semester and I'm hoping that this semester will not be so difficult. I am glad to start a new semester focusing on new things and i hope you all are too.

- Corporal Punishment -- Lauren Barr, 21:50:47 01/22/07 Mon
http://teenink.com/Past/1997/8772.html When it comes to Corporal Punishment, I believe there are times when it should be enforced and times that it should not. I think parents are the ones who have the most reason to have to use it. If their child is misbehaving, sometimes by spanking them, it is the only way they will learn. However, I do believe that parents should be able to choose whether or not teachers should be allowed to punish their children in such a way. If the child has caused some kind of minor trouble, then no of course not, they should not be spanked. However, if they are in a fight at school, doing something extreme that they know they shouldn't, or are saying things repeatedly (cussing or something of that sort) when told not to, then those are instances when corporal punishment should be used. Personally, I would not feel comfortable being the one to do the spanking, so I may have the principal do it. When it comes to nurses, however, I do not think they should have the right to use Corporal Punishment. For what reasons would they have to feel as if they should? I do not see how their job really would deal with it that much. I believe it is a good form of punishment as long as it is used in a sensible manner and not abusive!

- Assignment--2 -- Steven Dockery, 21:42:52 01/22/07 Mon
This is a good website because it deals with the religious side of spanking a child. If you beat a child then the child is not getting a spanking the child is getting a beatting. A spanking is when you take your hand and spank the child's bottom bewteen one and four times. And you should only do this when the child did something wrong not because he/she is driving to up the wall.
http://www.religioustolerance.org/spankin3.htm
This website talk's about giving the child a spanking because if you spare the rod you will spoil the child. Look at the world and all the crime. Someone did not get the love that they need.

- Corporal Punishment -- Jessica Goodwin, 20:44:19 01/22/07 Mon
http://www.stophitting.com/disatschool/argumentsAgainst.php; http://www.corpun.com/uss00608.htm#18176. Corporal punishment is a very debatable topic who many have strong feelings about. While in most cases I am against such punishment, sometimes I do think that it is necessary. There are some children whose parents didn't do their job in teaching the child to respect authority, and their behavior is past repremands and other methods of improvment. Some children need a spanking in order to realize that they are not in control. I think that their is a difference between teachers and nurses in regards to corporal punishment. I think that nurses should refrain from such practices in more cases than teachers because nurses are care-givers for sick or injured people, whereas teachers are training and teaching students life skills and lessons.

- coroporal punishment -- Lauren McVay, 20:08:29 01/22/07 Mon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporal_punishment
There is a lot of controversy surrounding the permitance of corporal punishment, spanking, in the school system. I have never seen a need for this type of punishment and I think children can learn to "behave" in a more positive way when they are given punishments that make them actually think about what they have done for more than just the 30 seconds of pain they endure. Punishments such as getting something taken away or writting 50 times about what they did, I believe, will influence them longer, safer, and more effectively then actual physical contact. I think there is a huge difference between nurses and teachers using corporal punishment- the most ovbious, nurses usually will be taking care of sick, older patients where physical contact would be completely inappropriate. Teachers I do not think should be physically punishing students either, it is not their place to decide if that type of punishment is acceptable, it is the parents. If the need arouse to contact parents and make them aware of on ongoing problem then the teacher is informing the parents and then it is up to them to punish as they see fit.

Hello Everyone, My name is Jennifer Onsby, I go by Jenny. I went to Immaculate Conception HS, near the Liberty Bowl. I love Memphis Football and Basketball, except when we play UT. I am a Junior. I went to UT Martin for 2 1/2 years, then decided to come back home, because it was cheaper and there was more to do around town. Last semester I changed my major from business management to special education, I wanted to get a degree in something that I would enjoy doing for the rest of my life.

Greetings fellow classmates!
I'm really excited about this class and I hope that you all are too! My name is Jennifer Barclay, I'm a technically a Junior at the university and just changed my major to Education two whole semesters ago. Growing up, my dad was in the Navy and because of that I've lived and developed in many different places, so I've never really had a "home town". Although, I've lived in Millington, TN the longest. I'm in the Delta Gamma sorority here on campus and absolutely love it. I'm kind of quiet, but if you talk to me I'm sure to talk back. :) The class seems kind of small and because of that I hope that we can all work together to have a great semester!
