Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Kentucky. When
he was two, the Lincoln’s moved a few miles to another farm on the old
Cumberland Trail. A year later, his mother gave birth to another boy,
Thomas, but he died a few days later. When Lincoln was seven his family
moved to Indiana. In 1818, Lincoln’s mother died from a deadly disease
called the “milk-sick.” Then ten years later his sister died and left him with
only his father and stepmother.
Lincoln traveled to New Salem in April 1831 and settled there the
following July. In the fall of 1836 he and Mrs. Bennett Abell had a deal
that if she brought her single sister to New Salem he had to promise to
marry her. When she arrived he was not to pleased with her because her
skin was full of fat. Around seven months later he asked Mrs. Orville
Browning to marry him but she said no. Lincoln met his wife to be, Mary
Todd, at the grand cotillion in honor of the completion of the new capital
building in 1839. They got engaged and a while later he broke off the
engagement because she was seeing other men. Around a year later in
Springfield on November 4, 1842 Abraham and Mary got married. In 1844,
Abraham and his wife were able to purchase their own house in
Springfield. It was a one-and-a-half story frame cottage. In May 1843,
the Lincoln’s had a son and named him Robert, after the addition to the
family they made the house a full two story house. Lincoln had three
more sons Edward Baker, William Wallace, and Thomas. Edward died at
the age of three, the cause of death was either consumption or
pulmonary tuberculosis.
In 1832 Lincoln announced himself a candidate for the state
legislature but he was defeated. Then a year later he was appointed
postmaster of New Salem and in the fall he became deputy county
surveyor. He really wanted a seat in the Illinois legislature so he ran again
and was elected with bipartisan support.
Lincoln was very interested in being a lawyer, he would walk fifteen
miles just to watch the court cases in Boonville, Indiana. Lincoln got a
license to practice law after several hard years of teaching himself. By
the early 1850s, the Lincoln-Herndon law office had become a leading
Springfield firm.

cornered him in a burning barn near Port Royal, Virginia. Seven men and
one woman were arrested as accomplices to Booth. Herold, Paine, and
Atzerodt were the most active accomplices and were sentenced to
death by hanging. O’Laughlin, Arnold, Dr. Mudd were unjustly accused
with helping plan the murder, but got life sentences. Edman Spangler got
six years and Mary Surratt was sentenced to death for having Booth’s riffle
waiting for him that night. On July 7, the three men and one woman
were hung.
Lincoln did not stay buried at the Oak Ridge Cemetery. His body
was kidnapped by a band of ransom-hungry grave robbers, therefore, his
body was moved around for the next 36 years. Lincoln was then buried
at a spacious memorial of eight acres but grave robbers struck again and
as the coffin was half out the police showed up. Under Robert Lincoln’s
instructions a hole thirteen feet deep was dug below the main catacomb
floor, a four-foot base of cement was laid and an iron cage sunk into it.
The coffin would be lowered into the cage and cement poured, creating
a block eight feet deep. Finally, Abraham Lincoln can rest in peace.
At the time, Abraham Lincoln was a captain of Virginia militia living in Rockingham County. Working as a farmer on a 210-acre farm deeded from his father, John Lincoln. In that same year, Abraham Lincoln took many Cherokee tribes in marches and fights. It was a time of fighting for the red and white men. To the north and east were the white men and to the south and west were the red men. Amos Lincoln went on a British ship and dumped a cargo of tea overboard to show their dominance. Now Abraham Lincoln had married a woman named Bathsheba Herring. She had three sons; Mordecai, Josiah, and Thomas and two daughters; Mary and Nancy. In the year 1782, Abraham and his family moved to
marriage. She was to do just as he said, without so much as uttering a
Not only this, but this style has also been recommended for teachers to take on in the classroom as the preferred classroom management style (Bassett and Synder 2013).
World War 1...what is it? Normally when you think about it you must be wondering how on earth am I still alive! World War 1 was also known as The Great War that took place from 1914-1918 within most parts of Europe. Within this informative essay I will be talking about the features, the results, the end, and how World War 1 changed the lives of the Europeans.
To further complicate matters, John decides not to reveal to the court that Abigail has admitted to him in private that they were just sporting in the woods. Abigail spreads additional accusations and false rumors about her neighbors. These accusations have no basis in truth and their only purpose is for Abigail’s own benefit. Furthermore, Abigail is jealous of John’s wife, Elizabeth, and she schemes to get rid of her in order to take her place. Abigail’s plot is to accuse Elizabeth of witchcraft.
Baumrind (1967) observed more than one hundred preschool age children and their parents and noted that responsiveness of the parents to their child’s needs in a supportive way would increase the child’s performance. There are two central elements regarding parenting style: parental responsiveness and parental demand (Maccoby & Martin, 1983). From these building blocks, Baumrind identified three prototypes: authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. In 1983, the work of Maccoby and Martin would be published and reconceptualize Baumrind’s work by adding a fourth category; neglectful. All four of these parenting style prototypes are a combination of these basic elements. Authoritative parenting combines responsiveness with demandingness for what many people believe to be the best approach to parenting (Timpano, Keough, Mahaffey, Schmidt, & Abramowitz, 2010). The authoritarian style fuses unresponsiveness with demandingness to form a totalitarian view of child rearing. The inverse o...
... readiness to connect with their children, implore their opinions and use reasoning to gain the looked-for behavior, and “Nurturance” is related to parental expressions of warmth and support, and protection of children’s physical and emotional well-being. Using these four dimensions, Baumrind identified four parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive-indulgent and permissive involved (Greenwood, 2014). With knowing about all the parenting styles, when I have children I will raise them with the authoritative parenting style.
During Diana Baumrind’s research as a developmental psychologist, she concluded that parents fall under three different styles of parenting: Authoritarian, Permissive, and Authoritative. Baumrind’s styles were based on how one disciplines and nurtures their child (Cherry, n.d., p. 1). Authoritarian parents make discipline the highest priority when raising their children. They do not see any grey area about discipline (Belsky, 2013, p. 205). Rules, and enforcement of rules, are never left up to discussion. Whatever the parent says must go and the child is expected to fully comply. The standards they have set must be lived up to without any exceptions (Cherry, n.d., p. 1). Because the parents are not focused on the child’s emotional needs the parents are often viewed as not very warm and loving (Belsky, 2013, p.205). Permissive parenting is the antithesis of Authoritarian parents. Belsky (2013) stated that permissive parents do not lay down strict rules or discipline. There are not high expectations of how a child should behave or perform. The parents focus is not on rules or reprimanding, but on the child’s own wants and happiness. The parents’ main focus is on nurturing the child’s emotional needs (p.205). In the Authoritative parenting style there are definitely rules and ideas of how the child should behave, but the parents take a more diplomatic approach to parenting. Nothing is ever set in stone and parents negotiate freely with their children about the rules and repercussions. Unlike the Authoritarian style of parenting, these parents have a balance of “both nurturing” and discipline. Parents still have expectations about their children, but understand that they ...
The unification of Germany threw all of Europe off its axis. With the formation of this new power there were now five major powers instead of four. This would work to unsettle age-old alliances and confuse the entire European continent for more than twenty years. Not least among the nations swept of their proverbial feet was France. France was a rival with the German alliance long before it merged into one state, but the new stability of a unified Germany made it a much more powerful entity. France scrambled to try and establish a sense of security, immediately demanding compensation in the form of the Rhine’s west bank and Belgium, which Bismarck quickly denied (Howard 40). It became quickly obvious that these two nations would be forced to a flashpoint and soon.
Good parenting is key for the development of young children for the way they act, make decisions, lifestyles and how they perceive others. So, when it comes down to choosing the right parenting style, it can be a bit challenging for many new and old parents. There are currently four popular parenting styles that consist of authoritarian, neglectful, permissive and authoritative. Although there are only four main parenting styles, parents can still be non-decisive and have a mixture of the parenting styles. Within this work I will be explaining the four different parenting styles and the effects they have on children. As well as explain how my parents raised me and the changes I will make when raising my children.
As stated by Bartol and Bartol “Juvenile delinquency is an imprecise, nebulous, social, clinical, and legal label for a wide variety of law- and norm-violating behavior” (2011, Pg 139). The juvenile delinquency term has come to imply disgrace in today's correctional institution. Our government is up hold to procedures and expected to come with a solution to solving the delinquent problem. An underage offender can be labeled a delinquent for breaking any number of laws, ranging from robbery to running away from home, and especially being involved in school violence. The following situations faced by correction officials when dealing with juvenile delinquents will be examined. Three main areas (child development, punishments, and deterrence tactics) will be briefly analyzed to give adequate explanation of the issue.
There has been a mass increase of juvenile delinquency in the United States, which has made a notable change in our society as a whole. It also directly affects parents, teachers, families, the perpetrators themselves, and of course, the victims. Law enforcement agencies in the United States have made an estimated 2.11 million arrests of minors. These perpetrators who were arrested have either been placed in confinement or they are under court supervision. Juvenile delinquency is described as illegal or immoral behavior, generally among young people under the legal age of eighteen. In order to reduce these high rates of delinquency, parents, and other adult figures, must first ask themselves, what is causing this? What external and internal
The forgotten few: the juvenile offender population. Seldom thought about, but yet are the foundation and underpinning of the origin of the crime in the United States. This is an inquiry as to what has been done to the adolescents and children with regards to sanctions that have not yet been really brought to light. The problematic history of juvenile offenders is one of the United States dirty little secret. The literature shows the nations children who deviate from the norm are presumed to be deviant and treated like its adult criminal population. Teenagers, kids, adolescents are presumed to be treated as if they are of age. What is lost is the cognitive development and nourishment when such negative actions occur. The basic and fundamental formative academics that have shown effectiveness are not being implemented into the sanctions for these juvenile offenders. There is a linear correlation between low education obtainment levels, mental illness and juvenile offending and recidivism. This is a significant dynamic risk factor that has the potential to eliminate the deviance of the youth in the nation. The development of our youth mentally can indeed have lasting positive effects for sustaining positive results during their rehabilitation stints and most importantly decreasing recidivism.
In fact as previously mentioned, this was the most significant result of the war. The loss stung the French people. They were bullied and tossed around and went from threat to laughingstock in a matter of weeks. This would make them hungry for revenge. The reason that this would be the most important result of the Franco-Prussian War was because the French swore revenge, and with this promise, the next war that would take place was a war that changed humanity: and this war would be The Great War, or the start of an era known as World War I.
The original concept behind the juvenile court system was an emphasis on rehabilitation rather than punishment. It was supposed to provide a means of protecting the child from the harshness of the adult court, which emphasized obtaining guilt and punishing the individual (Hickey, 2010). The dichotomies of "treatment-punishment" and "chi...
