Parenting Important? And Styles

I know being a parent is seen in a not so good light these days, like its detrimental to fun and life enjoyment but parents play a huge role in society. Obviously, no one would exist if no one was willing to be parents but beyond that we need people to be good parents and we need more people to be parents. Most of the major ills of the world could be solved with generations of good parents. Perhaps one of the issues is that people have lost the answer to what are the reasons or purposes of parenting. What do you think they are? I’m sure you could google it and find a ton of answers out there but what about your own conclusion? If you can’t come up with a solid answer then you might be looking for the reasons or purposes of parenting. As part of my belief in a Higher power I believe one of the purposes of parenting is to raise good, loving, and righteous members of society. Especially our global society.

Devastating or Edifying

The world is full of good and bad people, good and bad events, and a lot of heartaches. We lose loved ones, young and old, and lose our possessions or jobs.

I'm not condemning them like I said it isn't easy to go through hard times, especially for those who endure things like loss of a child or infidelity. But I do think they miss out on a wonderful opportunity. The easy way is sometimes the v...

Sexual Orientation is it Nature or Nurture?

Psychologically speaking there was a conflict between nature and nurture for a long time, and there still is in some cases but it has largely been solved by a synthesis of the two ideas. Most people in the world, as well as many psychologists, would agree that genetics and traits that seem to come with a person when they are born (fewer psychologists would agree with this last part) interact with the environment of a person to make up who they are today. By environment I mean the experiences they have as they grow as well as other factors outside an individual that can influence their development. It certainly makes sense to think this way, certainly, our experiences play a part in the shaping process but there first has to be something to shape. People are not blank slates which are written on by those around them, they are minimally or partially written on slates which flavors our interactions with the world. Yet a lot of people when we discuss sexual orientation, specifically for sa...
