“Free-Range Kids,” offers the controversial perspective of the ‘free-range’ parenting philosophy, telling readers that “children deserve parents who love them, teach them, trust them—and then let go of the handlebars”. Similarly, the speech given by Julie Lythcott-Haim, “How to raise successful kids without over-parenting” offers the perspective directly opposing the belief that “kids can’t be successful unless parents are protecting and preventing at every turn”. The two texts offer similar perspectives, but utilise different generic conventions. Skenazy utilizes persuasive techniques such as anecdotal evidence, statistics and expert opinion to endorse the ‘free-range’ technique and add a level of validity. She uses satire to criticise parents,
Based on the article by Bobbi Leder, the memoir The Glass Castle written by Jeannette Walls, and personal experiences, it is evident that parents should be required to obtain a parenting license due to previous neglecting cases. Although there is a fair amount of disputes on whether having a license to become a parent is just as important as a license to drive a car, there is convincing evidence to support this requirement. Those who disagree with the statement can only argue that there are people with good intentions thus do not need a license.

The subject of Allan Richarz’s “Bureaucrats remain fixated on protecting kids from that terrifying condition known as ‘childhood’” is the style of parenting expected in Canada compared to Japan. In the title of the article, Richarz included the words “bureaucrats remain fixated on protecting kids”. This is expanded upon in the third paragraph where Allan writes “children are inculcated on an upbringing of helicopter parenting, fostered by a regime of smothering government nanny-stateism.” The phrase “helicopter parenting” and how children are “inculcated”, the act of instilling something by persistent instruction, by it proves that the subject is the style of parenting expected in Canada because a helicopter parent is a parent who closely monitors their child’s experiences and actions. Furthermore, the phrase “latest contretemps over children not receiving 24/7 supervision in Canada” shows that in Canada,
She wrote the article keeping parents in mind, by telling stories and shedding light on the true points that every parent experiences. Parents were her target audience who she wrote to show them all the benefits of this new type of parenting while letting them know that she understands the overprotective urge.

Being a parent back then the kid was to be mindful and do as a father says and parents weren't really involved in school life and other things that the children today do. A Lot of the time parents run ragged trying to keep up with all their kids activities and such causing parenting to be a little more like Red Chief when he rode Bill 90 miles and fed him sand where the parents do as a kids want to do at any
"The Revolution Will Not Be Supervised" by Hannah Rosin is an article written for The Atlantic and is about parenting. The article is in the subject of how overprotective parenting has changed our kids over the past few decades. In my opinion, parenting should not be as overprotective as it is now, and kids are suffering from this. This article is very well written and there are definitely parts I both agree and disagree on.

In the article “How to stop cheating in college” Margaret Barthel (2016) questions the efficacy of one tactic over the other used to avert cheating in colleges. One of the issues of great concern for most colleges is cheating and technology has been mainly held responsible for this. But, technology is like a double-edged sword, the same technology that is used for cheating is now being utilized to prevent it. Various software has come into existence that scrutinizes the papers, intentions and actions of students to detect any act of dishonesty. Even with the cutting edge facilities provided by technology, it hasn’t been successful in eradicating cheating completely.
