    Ultimately, parents are responsible before God for their child; however, it is the role of the church and the school to support the parents in their God given responsibility. In Kingdom education, these three cords must work in harmony to evangelize, discipline and train each child to incorporate a biblical worldview into everything they do. Each partner must advocate a Christocentric education so that the child will grow to academic and spiritual maturity. Parents, schools and churches must recognize their interdependent task of raising godly children; they need to support and encourage one another, especially in the area of education.

    This was about three decades after the Shogunate government, which was a reign that was responsible for protectionists, had collapsed. A lot of Japanese people were embarrassed by the huge change but soon rose up to create a “strong” country like European nations. My school’s founder, Jinzo Naruse, was one of the people who rose up. Naruse, as a pioneer, thought that women’s education was important in order for Japan to become a powerful nation. Women are the people who raise up their children, some of whom might become the future leaders of the country. Therefore, he decided to create the education system to have educated mothers. Before Naruse established the first women’s educational system in Japan, he visited the United States, a country with a strong women’s education system he wished to model. As I read Kimmel’s article, I felt the United States was truly developed in women’s education because many feminist supporters had already started their movement even before 1900s. I now understood why Naruse went abroad to the United States to learn about its women’s educational

Young people of the world have become un-rooted from tradition, not knowing how they are connected to the world, who they can turn to for guidance and support, and lacking in spiritual leadership. This has caused increased violence, disparity, and suffering around the world. It is the responsibility of all leaders, cultural, spiritual, ethnic, religious, and educational to assist in the understanding of traditions, heritage, ancestral roots, belief systems, and values in a way that the young people of today can comprehend and feel connected.

    The Lesson, by Toni Cade Bambara, portrays a group of children living in the slums of New York City around 1972. They seem to be content living in poverty in some very unsanitary conditions. One character, Miss Moore, the children’s self appointed mentor, takes it upon herself to further their education during the summer months. She feels this is her civic duty because she is educated. She used F.A.O. Schwarz, a very expensive toystore, to teach them a lesson and inspire them to strive for success and attempt to better themselves and their situations.

    ...things together. Therefore, arithmetic and books that teaches logic are introduced to a child at this stage. For example, a child is taught basic addition and subtraction, that is one plus one, two, three and so forth. In so doing, a child develops skills to make simple decisions and judgment. Their skill of reasoning is also enhanced. Thereafter, a child grows to the normal school ongoing age. Here, such children have to be taught to internalize with the environment in a more effective way. They mental capacity is much greater to accommodate more aspects of reasoning and logic. Teachers use books such as story books, advanced mathematics integrated with social interaction so that they discover things by their own. The main objective is to get them effectively interact with the environment. This enhances their development towards normal functioning human beings.

    He describes how in Akan culture, the culture of his father, the oldest brother was not responsible for the raising of his own children, but rather for the children of his sisters, and his own children were the responsibility of his wife’s oldest brother. Contrast this with fathering in American culture, where men are responsible for their own children, not those of their siblings. Both groups are interested in responsibly raising children, but they go about it in very different ways. Says Appiah, “there are thin, universal values here – those of good parenting – but their expression is highly particular, thickly enmeshed with local customs and expectations and the facts of social arrangements” (Appiah: 49). The activities that surround a value are dependent upon the locality in which they are enacted and the culture in which they have been brought

    Parents who are the most closest people in the world to anyone because they are the one to give birth, raising, taking care and unconditionally loving us no matter what happens. Under no circumstances should people be disrespected to their parents because of a responsibility of being a child in family. That is a symbol of the root of human’s love. People not love their biological parents; they are impossible to love others, “loyalty in society extends from loyalty in family, then loyalty to family promotes or furthers loyalty in society” (Foust, 195). Apparently, dutifulness is a special form of morality, is not only be expressed by respectful words to elders but also be described as gentle taken-care gestures when being sick, daily behaviors and attitudes. Hence, the Master Kong said, “When the father is alive, watch the son’s aspiration. When the father is dead, watch the son’s action. If three years later, the son has not veered from the father’s away, he may be called a dutiful son indeed.” (1335,

    Children live in a world designed for them by adults. The two cultures, child’s culture and adult’s culture exist side-by-side. As the children eventually mature into the adult world, they grow up learning the structure of what is expected of them. As children challenge the authority or expectations, they are battling the construction that was predetermined by the adults. Children have to live in a world where they are living in the structure, as well as being active agents. The two combating ideas are one component that makes growing up a difficult learning experience.

  • The Role Of A Child's Disciplinarian

    1106 Words  | 3 Pages

    To be a child’s disciplinarian, you are taking on the role of an absolute ruler, role model, and teacher rolled altogether into singular entity called the mentor; on the other hand, becoming a child’s best friend will turn you into either a follower of the group or voice of reason that does not necessarily need to be obeyed and can, more often than not, be ignored entirely. It is obvious that in order to ensure your child’s success in both the present and the future, you have to relegate into the role of the disciplinarian and not of the best friend. You are the parent and you are obviously not a child, so you must take the responsibility of your child’s education and teach them the ways of survival in a world that is not fair to its inhabitants.

  • Identity Vs. Role Confusion

    1275 Words  | 3 Pages

    If the person views the parent as a nuisance, or thinks the parent cannot understand the problem that the person is facing, the adolescent is more prone to being isolated from the guardian. If the child sees the parent as a comfortable companion and not just a caregiver, the child is able to express the problems present in the minor’s life without feeling judged or misunderstood. Concluding my essay, I state that by the child creating a better bond with children in the same age group, it can lead to emotional and educational success in life, but by neglecting the opinion or words of knowledge given by the parent, it can lead to parental negligence and lack of wisdom and world understanding earlier in life.

  • Orphanage Research Paper

    1281 Words  | 3 Pages

    Home is a place where children are meant to feel good and comfortable. When a place like home is not available, many children are left with the only choice of living on the streets or an orphanage. Life can be very harsh to children especially if both of their parents died. When a child is left alone because of the death of his parents he becomes an obligation to his closest relatives. However, they are not obligated to take the child. Many family members might not want an obligation that big and refuse to take care of the child. During this decision, children start realizing that they are not wanted and start to feel neglected. This is when they are send to orphanages; however, they are not always put in orphanages because they have no family. There are times when a family can not maintain another person and decide to leave one of their children in an orphanage. Many people were told that God is the father of orphans and his bounty was to be shared with them. Even though this phrase says what had to be done, it was not done. Romans did not care for orphans nor widows. When Christianity started to affect Roman life, charity was something that grew. Orphans were put in children asylums and rules were established. Girls were to be taken care of until marriageable age. The boys were given tools and placed in a condition to earn their living.1 However, things were not always good for the helpless children.

    Infants learn by making mistakes and learning from them and regardless of gender, social condition, and skin colour they are able to understand and speak the language of their parents, however, this kind of general intelligence of self-instruction is not regarded as formal education, it is that a student needs guidance of an expert. Hence we have schools where there are educators/teachers who introduce us to the “adult knowledge”. Rather than giving lectures, teachers are facilitators of learning, providing learners with the information and tools needed to master a subject. From the time to time, teachers a...
