"Blaming the Victim" by William Ryan
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. A review of the book by William Ryan in which he focuses on the fact that society tends to place the blame of societal ills on those people who are actually victims of society as well. For instance, rather than placing blame on those who live in abject poverty and unable to get off the welfare roles, perhaps we should look to their surroundings first and see where the blame really lies. Ryan makes a good point in discussing the ‘slum lords’ at one point. Instead of blaming the people who live in filthy conditions in the slums, perhaps we should first take a look at the slum itself.

A Century of Raising Children
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing the history of child rearing and family size over the course of the past century. One “authority” told parents in 1912 that children should not be kissed; Dr. Spock told us 50 years later that they should have no negative influence at all. So much has changed in the past several decades. We swung the pendulum too far away from austerity to in some cases total abdication of the responsibility of raising children. Too many today are allowed simply to grow up rather than being raised, but we seem to be gravitating to a more reasonable middle ground. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
