Should parents have the right to put spyware on their children computers. Harlan Coben the author of “ Undercover Parent ” published by the New York Times on March 16, 2008 highlights the fact that it's scary to put spyware on your your children computers, Most parents won't even consider it. From my point of view with Cobens argument because most parents don't know what they're really do on the internet. Coben speaks about how some people will say that it's better just to use parental blocks that denies access to inappropriate sites.
In today's society, inappropriate content is revealed to citizens constantly. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury gives a great example dealing with censorship. In the book, it shows a society that burns books because they feel that books cause a corrupt society but Montag, a firefighter, tries to turn around the law and fights for the rights of books. In order to have a strong society, we need censorship.
He predicts that people reading this article will be skeptical of what he is saying because he assumes that the readers use the internet, and so they would be reluctant to think of it negatively. He addresses this point by saying, “Maybe I’m a worrywart,” and “So yes you should be skeptical of my skepticism.” By aligning himself with the reader’s thoughts, the reader might be more inclined to trust him even more. I myself thought that if he understood that most people would think he was crazy and still came to the conclusion that the internet’s negative potential outweighs the positives it offers, then maybe it really is
This is different than in the Veldt because, in the Veldt, nothing really makes the parents question if all the technology they have in their house is good or bad, but in the end, a psychologist tells them and by then it is too late to do the right
The Sheriff’s Children In a small town of Troy in rural post civil war Branson County, North Carolina. Captain Walker has been murdered, the townspeople blaming a mulatto who was seen near the captain’s house on the previous night. “So when it became known in Troy early one Friday morning in summer, about ten years after the war, that old Captain Walker, who had served in Mexico under Scott and had left an arm on the field of Gettysburg, had been foully murdered during the night, there was intense excitement in the village.” “Business was practically suspended, and the citizens gathered in little groups to discuss the murder and speculate upon the identity of the murder”.
Co-parenting is an essential issue to a married couple. Co-parenting as a concept concerns with sharing responsibilities at workplace and home equally between the married couples. Co-parenting is a matter that both the couples strive to achieve and maintain regardless of how much it is hard to sustain it. Hope Edelman and Eric Bartels in "The Myth of Co-Parenting: How It Was Supposed to be. How it was.
“I don’t call it spying; I call it parenting “this is said by many protecting parents from all over the world. There’s been many debates about this problem, many parents having to spy on their child’s smart phone or social media. First, the parent’s job is to help the child’s development in life, not spy on it. Lori Day has great examples in “Brutally Honest”, an psychologist and mother considers spying “an invasion of privacy and a violation of trust this is said on lines 22-24.
According to Graeme Mcmillan, who published this article “ Dave Eggers' The Circle: What the Internet Looks Like if you Don’t Understand It”. In this article, it is talking about how ChildTrack is affecting the boundaries of your freedom. Being tracked all the time is causing danger for all the
On a daily basis, you might see teenagers texting on their phones or searching the web on their laptops, but have you ever imagine the possible dangers they could be in? Installing spyware on teens’ computers for the wrong purpose can lead to an increasing amount of problems such as the lack of trust and the invasion of privacy. In his persuasive essay,” The Undercover Parent,” (2008) Harlen Coben claims that parents should be able to monitor their children on the Internet as long as it is strictly for protection. Through the use of real-life examples, such as cyberbullying, pedophiles, and digital footprint, he encourages parents to provide a safe environment during their online experience.
”(coben 11) This quote helps to prove my point, because it shows that spyware isn't supposed to be used in a nosy war. It should only be used for a safetynet for your children. My second example to support my position is in the article when Coben says”One friend of mine, was using spyware to monitor his college bud strait A daughter, he found out that not only was she using drugs, she was sleeping with her dealer. ”(Coben 13)
This creates a barrier between the parent and child, thus leading to a toxic relationship because parents would rather use technology than spend time with
Coben supports his thesis by claiming stating that the internet is a dangerous place, expressing that monitoring children can prevent bad situations, stating that the internet isn’t a totally private, and explaining it’s a parents responsibility to monitor their children. Coben makes many strong and good points in his article which makes me agree with his position on spyware. In his article, Coben explains a reason to
The viewpoint of the current regulations for Initial Entry Training (IET) Soldiers is largely influenced by the words of MG John M. Schofield. In his speech he would touch on several topics that he found to be of great concern with the treatment of new recruits. “The discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment” (Mann; AR 350-6). At issue is the psychological treatment of the trainees. With the treatment of IET Soldiers outlined in AR 350-6, the emphasis of being aware of the mental stresses and the psychological effects of any harsh or tyrannical behavior by Drill Sergeants that could be place upon these Soldiers is reiterated numerous times.
Models of child protection Two broad approaches have emerged in the context of child protection they are; vertical and horizontal approach. Vertical approach is understood as one that observes classes of vulnerable children independently from each other and it has been criticised by Wulczyn et al (2010) because it often results in a fragmented child protection response that is marked by numerous inefficiencies. For example, strategies that target sexually abused children can focus on addressing the immediate safety needs of these children forgetting other children who might be vulnerable though not through sexual abuse. Wulczyn et al (2001) guided by Convention on the Rights of the Child (2010), argue that Horizontal approach to OVCs seem to be more essential in helping vulnerable children across all vulnerabilities they might find themselves in. The approach do not treat children vulnerabilities as independent from each other or rather single issues but it observes all different systems that are causing children to be vulnerable without
That being said, the internet could be a very dangerous thing for children to discover. The internet has many uses and can teach us many great things but letting children use it can lead to bad things, such as changes in attitude, thought process and general health conditions. It could corrupt their minds in ways that may not be suitable for the youth. An example of negative access to the internet would have to violence.
