Government forces stay-at-home mums to abandon children, says campaigners

 

Mothers at Home organization is against of introducing the Budget legislation which forces stay-at-home mothers to find a job and to depart of their children. This organization expresses their  towards this policy because children need the love and tender care of at least one parent. And this policy is strongly creating an obstacle between mothers and their children. Mothers feel that they are being discriminated because they are not taken seriously. The concerning ministers expressed that stay-at-home mothers are not hard working people. After a stay-at-home mother spoke out against this policy, the organization got a lot more supporters.

Children especially infants needs all the love, attention and tender care of at least one of their parents. In their infant years, children learn a lot more then when they grow up. Children learn how to speak, crawl and walk. This process is a very difficult one and therefore needs their parents to guide and help them with this. I am against this policy because being a mother is a lot harder than working a full time job. A mother works 24 hours a day and does not have time for herself. I think the government has to introduce another solution.

Schools should be fined for illegally excluding pupils, inquiry finds

The video is about a 15 year old boy that was illegally excluded from going to school. When he was sick he missed a lot of school which made his grades go down. Because of this his school recommended that he start at a new school. This program is called manage move and it offers students who missed out on a lot of classes a second chance at learning without having a permanent exclusion on their records. But his mother did not gave up and finally after a rigorous battle she found a school to register her son.

This video actually caught me of guard because I never thought that in England students are illegally excluded from school without valuable reasons. I think it is unacceptable to exclude students from school because then they are going to develop a gap in their education and will more likely end up on streets. These students will have a lot of free time and will look ways to entertain themselves by doing either wrong and hopefully good things. Idle hands are the devil’s playground. Moreover, criminals will take advantage of these children by misusing them by forcing them to engage in illegal activities.

Pornography is everywhere, and I think it’s changing how we feel about sex

This article is about companies that advertises its products by using names of women’s private parts so that it can attract more customers. The author argues that these kinds of advertisements are offensive towards women and harmful to children. Furthermore, porn is easily available on the internet, therefore without a doubt accessed for children, especially boys. This can lead up to boys not having any the respect for their mothers, sisters nor their girlfriends. Moreover, sex is something you can get anywhere, it does not have no value any more. As a result, love does not have any meaning anymore.

My believe is that pornography should be available for people that have needs and cannot find a suitable partner. This may reduce the amount of sexual abusers and molesters. Nevertheless, pornography may have a great influence on boys but on girls as well. During the process of puberty, a child’s body goes through different physical changes which can cause a lot of confusion to a child. Children grow up learning that sex does not have any value. Girls may develop a low self-esteem because they want to become like the porn girls and boys will not have respect for woman.

Children and apps: Should we fear the INanny?

In this article the author explains about her children’s behavior towards modern gimmicks such as tablets and smartphones. She is worried and blames herself of buying these gadgets for her children because she is also fascinated with these gadgets. However, this mother of three also expresses that these gadgets has its benefits also. One of the benefits is, is that they are very educational. But she states that because of these gadgets her children became strangers to her and her husband. Her children cannot live without these gadgets and she does not know how to gain control over her children’s behavior towards these gadgets.

First of all, I am not a fan of these gadgets because I think these gadgets control peoples’ lives, especially children’s. If it was for me I would do all my assignments the old school way, by hand. I agree that it takes much more time and effort but to me it feels much more original by doing everything by hand and conducting research by books rather than on the Internet. In addition, children will not have the pleasure of playing outside and have social interaction with their parents nor their friends because they are engaged to these gadgets.

Latin America 'threatened by rising cancer cases'

Latin America ‘threatened by rising cancer cases’

In Latin America it is feared that the amount of cancer cases will rise. In comparison with America and Europe, the cancer cases in Latin America are far less but the death rate is higher. Researchers states that possible causes of the rising cancer deaths in Latin America may be the poor treatment patients gets and late diagnosis. Latin America’s people want to adapt their living as people of growing countries. They want to  intake more unhealthy foods and smoke. Latin America countries have inadequate equipment and treatments to successfully help their cancer patients. Therefore the rising deaths.

People in general are living unhealthy lives without  being fully aware of what the consequences may be for their near future. Cancer is a worldwide problem and the only way to fight this disease is starting to lead more healthy lives by doing more exercise and eating more healthy foods. These simple steps not only will fight cancer but it will also help fight other diseases and viruses. In Latin America countries it is known that people undergo a lot of plastic surgeries as well and this could develop cancer also.

David and Victoria Beckham 'getting posher', study finds

There is a study conducted on the famous couple, Victoria and David Beckham, on how certain circumstances may have affected their pronunciation of words. Researches have compared the couple’s pronunciation back then and now which concluded that their pronunciation has become more elegant. The hypothesis is that once someone passed puberty, his pronunciation is fixed. However, research shows that even during adulthood a person may improve his speech. Furthermore, there is lot of factors such as social mobility, that can play a big role on how someone pronounce words.

I strongly believe that someone’s pronunciation can change due to circumstances because I have experienced it myself. When I first started attending classes of English I could not pronounce the TH, but after a while of hearing it and practicing with it I can finally say I can dominate it. The strongest motivations why I wanted to be able to dominate the TH are both instrumental and integrative. The Beckham’s motivation is instrumental because they have to adapt their speech to where they live and for the careers they are pursuing. By adapting their pronunciation they sound more upper-class.

Atkins and the never-ending battle over carbs

The article that I have read is about the never ending battle over carbs.  Dr. Atkins has started the idea that carbs makes you fat and contributes to obesity. Dr. Atkins created the Atkins diet and it was a big hit around the world. More than three million people in the UK had tried this diet.  After years of experiments conducted on this area, medical professionals argues,  that this diet does not help the weight –conscious on a long term. But the fact is, people will do whatever it takes to look thin so that they can feel good.

My opinion is that there are a lot of programs that claim to help in the process of losing weight. However, I believe in order to lose weight, you have to balance your food intake and exercise. Regardless, you should bear in mind that every individual has a different body type and  metabolism. What a lot of people do not know is the fact that fruits and vegetables are carbs as well. Every individual should prior to plan to lose weight, conduct a rigorous research about losing weight. Lastly, losing weight should be taken seriously and not taken for granted.
