ReplyDeleteI agree most with Wilcox. He says that it is possible to grow up perfectly fine without a father but he is not saying you should grow up without one. He says that loving and caring fathers can be a very good thing, keeping sons out of jail and daughters away from pregnancy. Wilcox is saying a father can be a great help and that a dad is not just another mouth to feed. I disagree most with Weldon. She believes that most children are better off without their fathers.

ReplyDeleteThe write i ahree the most is Jane Mattes. Her salient point is that a chid doesn't need a biological father to be raised well because one can get it from any men who has love or positive influence towards a child. This articly shows that not every child needs a father, it could be just a "father figure". I disagree the most with Michele Weldon because her stand is that children doesn't need a father. I think that having a "father figure" is important to a child and not necessarily a biological father.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the writer Jane Mattes the most. In this article, Mattes says that the gender or number of parents do not matter. However it is the ability to parent that does. You can be raised by both parents and still have dysfunctional family problems. What is important is if you're able to raise your child well. In Terrance Health's article, he talks a lot about same sex-sex couples. I don't have anything against that but in the article he says "It's unremarkable for a man to be a "stay-at-home dad" or for a woman to be a "working mom." I disagree with this. I believe it does not matter what the configuration is. As long as the kids can see that the parents are working in an equal partnership.
ReplyDeleteI think that the writer I agree the most with W. Bradford Wilcox. He talks about how he grew up with out a father and that he did ok. Although he does say that he would have done better with his father there for him. He talks about how fathers that are tough academically lead there children to a better future. Brad Harrington is the author I disagree with the most. The reason is because he gives all the stts on how mother can be single but thats not all they need. They need more then just food they need a father to guide them. A young boy needs the remodel to follow. That's why I disagree with him because its not just about if the women can survive its about how the children are too.

In my opinion, what matters the most is the education and love a child receive from his/her parents. The writer I agree with is Terrance Heath because he says "children do best when they are raised adults who are loving, compassionate, responsible, dependable and committed to the children's well-being." It doesn't matter if a child is raised by same or opposite sex couples; what really matters is the care and love they give to their children, and the values inculcated to them. The writer which I disagree with is Juli Slattery. My disagreement is because she says "no woman can be mom and dad to their children." However, how can lesbian couples raise a child without any problem? how can many single mothers raise their children? Or what if the father's precense just harm the child wellbeing? In my opinion, what matters is that a child receive enough support, love and comprehension from their parents. That will lead a child walk on the right path and be a good person in the future.
