Verify!

During the past two weeks, I was able to learn a ton of new content! When conducting research, I often resort to either the first search result or a creditable source for my answers. This week, I was able to learn that sometimes more must be done to be certain about the information provided. As humans, we are capable of creating human error. This can also be applied to our research. So many factors can affect the quality of our research. A great example is what Loren Marks discovered regarding the research of the American Psychological Association. When they made the claim that “Not a single study has found children of lesbian or gay parents to be disadvantaged in any significant respect relative to children of heterosexual parents’’ Loren Mark examined this claim alongside its research and found many flaws to the research.   One flaw of research could be the purpose of a research. For example, the researchers at the APA were observing if children of gay or lesbian couples ...

Various Scenarios

 Divorce is a very sensitive topic. It is a process that I wish upon nobody. There is nothing more important than the family. So, to see and hear of a family break-up truly breaks my heart. In past blogs, various topics were discussed regarding the family. Each family plays a special role. Combined, a family in unity brings peace, joy, and love. Divorce is the path away from this.

In order to avoid the outside dangers, a couple may divorce in order to send off the family away from the dangers. Couples may also divorce due to a compiled list of problems that have built...

A Father and the Role

I was able to analyze and ponder the text of Kate Fogarty and Garret F. Evans entitled “The Common Roles of Fathers: The Five Ps.”   In this text, they speak of exactly what it is entitled. They state that “Fathers' efforts can be labeled according to the ‘Five Ps’: Participator / Problem-solver, Playmate, Principal Guide, Provider, [and] Prepare.”   I wanted to also share my thoughts regarding the Five Ps.   Participator / Problem Solver:             There are many issues that children will face as they grow up. While minor or major, they may not have the biggest capacity of knowledge to be able to solve their problems. A father, with many experiences in his lifetime, should be willing to share and resolve issues that a child may come to face. They should also allow the children to learn from any solutions to problems. Doing so allows the child to prepare the child for what is to come in the near futu...
