Author(s: Edward Page Article Title: Three Problems of Intergenerational Justice Year of publication: 2008 Link to published version: http://www.intergenerationaljustice.org/ Publisher statement: None Three Problems of Intergenerational Justice by Dr. Edward Page Abstract: Intergenerational justice raises profound questions about the appropriate scope, pattern and currency of distribution. In this short article, I evaluate three arguments for restricting justice to dealings amongst contemporaries and argue that each can be overcome without abandoning the central tenets of liberal egalitarianism. Atomic energy might be as good as our present day explosives, but it is unlikely to produce anything more dangerous. William Churchill, 1939 “We are always doing” says he, “something for Posterity, but I would fain see Posterity doing something for us” Addison, 1968[1714]: 592. It may help to think about this question: how many of us could truly claim, “Even if railways and motor cars had never been invented, I would still have been born?” Parfit, 1984: 361. A full account of intergenerational justice, which I take to be the problem of ensuring an equitable distribution of benefits and burdens amongst non-contemporaries, must address at least four crucial problems.

  • Attachment Parenting 101
    Attachment Parenting 101 By Judy Arnall, President of Attachment Parenting Canada Association “The attachment parenting philosophy is based on empathetically responding immediately to a child’s direct and indirect needs. Attachment parenting is about treating children with dignity and respect afforded any adult.” These words were written by Ellen Percival and Sherry Kerr in the October/November 1996 issue of Calgary’s Child magazine after speaking with Judy Arnall, currently President of Attachment Parenting Canada. Attachment parenting has been the latest media buzzword due to the recent Time magazine cover of a model breastfeeding her three-year-old son, and the newly released book, “Beyond the Sling,” by Mayim Bialik. However, confusion abounds as to what attachment parenting really is. When did attachment parenting become fashionable? In its most basic sense, attachment parenting has been around since humans first began having babies. No early human has ever put their young offspring to bed in the bush 50 meters away and ignored their screams so that they would learn to “self soothe” and go to sleep. Modern attachment parenting has its roots in the 1950’s when John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth compiled studies on the effect of attachment between children and their primary caregivers. They were the pioneers in attachment theory, which explained the bonds developed in relationships. The results of this research, which still holds true today, show that when a child’s needs for security and emotional and physical comfort are met by a nurturing and warm parent or caregiver, they grow up to become emotionally and socially healthy adults capable of forming close, trusting, caring relationships with other people.

Box 28, Waterford Queensland 4133 Australia 2003 and 2005 Tel: 07 3805 5611 Fax: 07 3200 8769 Mob: 0409 269 621 Email: [email protected] 24th February, 2006. Senate Legal and Constitutional Committee Department of the Senate Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Australia By Fax: 02 6277 5794 By Email: [email protected] Dear Senators, Inquiry after inquiry into improving processes and outcomes for Australia’s separated/ing families have taken place. The current family law scheme, which impacts on thousands of parents and children each and every year, creating mayhem by adding to the rapid disintegration of already fragile relationships, destroying parents’ capacity to support and care for their children and separating children from the parents who love them, still has not seen any meaningful improvement after years of procrastination, deliberation and broken promises. Of course, the Family Law legislation and the Family/Federal Magistrates’ Court system are not alone in contributing to the chaos. An over-zealous and often punitive Child Support Agency, which seems to be accountable to no-one at all; conflicting social security policies; governments automatically taking on the role of defacto husband and father without adequate consultation with both parents; excessive taxation on one hand and over generous hand-outs on the other creating the need for claw backs from the nearest viable contributor - usually the father in these circumstances, all play a significant role in contributing to the number of family breakdowns and the chaos caused.

    Al – Hikmah Journal of Education, Vol. 2 No. 2 December, 2015 ___________________________________________________________________________ PARENTING STYLES AND STUDENTS' ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AMONG JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ILORIN SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, KWARA STATE I. ISHOLA and M. B. TAIWO Abstract This study is on the parenting styles and Academic performance of social studies students in Junior Secondary Schools in Ilorin South L.G.A of Kwara State. A total of 360 students served as respondents for the study. The number was drawn from JO Junior secondary schools in Ilorin South L.G.A. A questionnaire designed by the researchers was the major instrument used for data collection. Two hypotheses were postulated for the study. While Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient was used to analyse the collected data. The study revealed that there was a significant relationship between authoritative parenting style and academic performance of male students in social studies, while there was no significant relationship between authoritative parenting style and academic performance of female students in social studies. It was also discovered that there was no significant relationship between permissive parenting style and academic performance of both male ' and female students in social studies. Based on the findings, it was recommended that secondary school teachers should monitor their students, especially, the social studies students in order to identify' the factors causing their low academic performance. The parents concerned, especially the authoritarian parents should be invited by the school authoriies for counselling, such parents should be advised to be cautious in dealing with their male children. Keywords: Parenting styles Students' academic performance, Kwara State Introduction Social studies as a subject, taught and learnt in Nigeria Junior secondary schools, has social political, economic and technological relevance to national development.

  • A Learning Program for Parents of Families at Risk by Carol Ann Korizek
    Parenting success : a learning program for parents of families at risk by Carol Ann Korizek A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Montana State University © Copyright by Carol Ann Korizek (1997) Abstract: How active learning occurs in the adult participating in a program for hard-to-reach, failure-cycled parents of families at risk was not known. As a result of societal issues such as addictions, crime, poverty and mental illness, most parents of families at risk develop lower self-esteem and a feeling of failure about their ability to parent. To meet the needs of this important population, an empowering program named Parenting Success was developed for parents of families at risk. Parenting Success is founded on a humanistic philosophical base and employs practices of adult learning principles. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify how adults learn through participation in Parenting Success and to know specifically what factors caused, sustained and contributed to the occurrence of learning and accomplishment in the parents participating in the Parenting Success program. The qualitative research design chosen to describe how parents of families at risk learn through participation in Parenting Success was the descriptive case study which focuses on not one but many of the variables present within the boundaries of the study. The goal of this qualitative process was to focus on the many emerging variables which describe how and/or why adults learn in the social environment of the Parenting Success program. The research findings generated from observations, class discussions, evaluations, and interviews of participating parents revealed important information which may transform the manner in which crucial parenting skills and information are disseminated for effective adult learning to occur.
