Demons in Disguise

Everyone says the best things that have ever happened to them are their kids. They gloat and flaunt these miniature people as if they were the second coming of Jesus himself. Between diapers and toys parents spend thousands of dollars on something that doesn’t even know how to speak! I don’t know about you, but a devious creature that runs around my house raising havoc does not sound like the best thing that’s ever going to happen to me. In fact that sounds like something straight out of a horror movie. Kids are the most terrifying that could ever happen to me. I never quite understood what was so great about having children. I guess you could say that kids are cute or say things that they do are seemingly hilarious. However they do not know much about anything and then all the sudden they are incredibly clever and that is what makes them so terrifying! With one look, a little kid could get whatever they wanted just because we all think they are so darn cute. We are all brainwashed by these cute little monsters, like some kind of creepy mind control trick. However not only do they play these tricks on family, they will go to people they don’t know, if it means getting what they want! What kind of sane person goes to a complete stranger, just for a handful of sugar or some ice cream? Sane people would realize that’s probably a good way to get you hurt or kidnapped. Just because someone offers me a soda doesn’t mean I’m going to hop in their creepy, white, windowless van, that’s just insanity! What kind of lunatic would want to have to deal with that kind of worry and anxiety everyday?? Even the toys we buy them are horrifying. Between the dolls with empty soul sucking eyes to guns that seem to realistic it’s a bit unsettling. Kids are always running around with fake guns that shoot out foam bullets trying to kill you, what is that?? Are we trying to raise serial killers that think it is

    People with children have positive and negative aspects to confront. People that have children have the benefit of adding to their family and experiencing the joys that come with young children. For example, clinical social worker Debbie Carberry states in the article Second Childhood “Let your child take you on your journey to reclaim your childlike self.” Many claim that it is like having a second childhood since they can watch their children go through some of the same things they did as children. Children can bring several rewards to a home and make it a lively and ever-changing environment. They can make their parents laugh and offer them entertainment and company. In addition, when children grow up they can be responsible for their parents and help take care of them in age or sickness. Those with children can have grandchildren as well, another source of joy and excitement. Furthermore, another great benefit of having a child is the Child Tax Credit that you may claim during tax season. Steber writes in his article How Your Next New Little Bundle of Joy Will Change Your Tax Return, “You may be eligible for the Child Tax Credit, a $1,000 credit available for each dependent child under the age of 17 as long as your income is less than $75,000 ($110,000 if married filing jointly and $55,000 if married filing separately)”. This is a benefit to look forward…

    I was so shocked to read how a mother let her own son go on a subway in New York which is one of the most dangerous places a child can be in. Also Even though the mother Lenore Skenazy provided her son with a subway map,a MetroCard and money I still thought that she was insane until I read her other two articles one of which is called “More From America's Worst Mom:9-Years-Old on The Subway, Continued” as well as “A Different Kind of Back-to-School Sail” which convinced me that parents are way too protective and they think that they can protect their kids from everything that seems or looks dangerous,by keeping their eyes on them their(children) whole life, even though they(parents)in reality parents can’t protect their children like they think.Plus…

    According to Christian Science Monitor, ads in catalogues and newspaper basically tell kids that it’s okay for children to use handguns by themselves. More than one in four children in the United States is exposed to weapon-related violence (Myers). Today, a movie or videogame easily contains gun violence. Exposure to violence involving highly lethal weapons is associated with higher trauma symptoms, over and above exposure to all other types of violence, making it a strong contributor to adolescent depression, anxiety and aggression…

    Growing up there were always children in and out of my household. Everytime I turn around my parents were always watching someone’s kid. I was never alone, there was always someone to play with, talk too, or even fight with. My parents loved helping raise and take care of children so the older I got the more it rubbed off on me. When I was old enough they gave me the responsibility to babysit my cousins and children of family friends. I grew up in a big family so there were always children around in need of a babysitter.…

    It has been researched that media images and video games can be harmful and damaging to children 's minds. Most children watch 21-23 hours of television per week (Media Violence 1). Within the 21-23 hours of watching TV a week children are looking at 3-5 violent acts per hour (Media Violence 1). "By the age of 18, the average American child will have viewed about 200,000 acts of violence on television alone" (American Academy). Now imagine being a child and watching 200,000 acts of violence, and not being able tell the difference between real life and fantasy. There are many media images and video games that seem real to young children. Not only are these children confused but they are being traumatized by viewing these images.…

    But why do people treat other people any different? In all honesty, toys aren't gonna wake up and kill us in our sleep (not now, at least.) But how is it okay that we can be that ignorant and indifferent to other people? Think about it: were you on the receiving end or the giving end? Were you treating people like objects? Were you TREATED like something expendable? now think about how you felt bad for them toys in Toy Story 3. You'd think it would be an even worse feeling if people do it to other people, right? What's amazing is despite all that…

    Historically, most philosophers have given less written attention to the ontological and metaphysical status of children. Notably, Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau, Kant and Locke have been recognised for their contributions to an understanding of children and have given attention to the vulnerability of children and their need for protection and control, their duty to love and honour their parents, obligations of parents to care and shape their children according to some predetermined patterns. The dominant principle of the contemporary child rights and welfare discourse is that the regulation of children’s lives should be primarily geared towards making childhood a carefree, safe, secure and happy phase of human existence. In order to achieve this,…

    Opponent have pointed out that history has shown the opposite to have occured. Children, they say, are now viewed as property, a product and a 'right', not a unique human being or a 'blessing.'. They believe that the widespread practice of infanticide of born children in hospitals, and parental abuse, are an inevitable flow-on from what they call the wholesale abuse of unborn…

    US mum and controversial journalist Lenore Skenazy sparked a global outcry in 2008 when she left her nine-year-old son in a Manhattan department store with instructions on how to find his way home on the subway - and then wrote about it. The author of Free-Range Kids (Wiley) was labelled "America's worst mother" as she called for parents to raise safe, self-reliant children. Is hovering over our kids and not allowing them to escape our constant control and intervention doing the best by them? Not at all, according to recent research undertaken by the University of Western Australia.…

    Nine times out of ten when you turn of a video game, tv show, or movie you will see some sort of gun violence mainly murder. Its sad to say but the glorification of homicide has become a part of the American entertainment culture and apart of many Americans lives. According to Robert Preidt of CBS News “Americans are ten times more likely to be killed by guns than those living in other developed countries.” Firearms such as handguns are being more and more concealable so that the average looking person can be carrying a loaded weapon and you will never…
