The legal decision in this case could greatly impact the future of education for students who suffer from horrible circumstances that they bring to school. According to Mark Rosenbaum, an attorney with Public Counsel, “If you really want to do something about the achievement gap, childhood trauma is the place to start” (Watanabe, 2015). In my experience working with students from trauma-filled backgrounds for almost 20 years, I can attest that they bring their home lives to school, and if the education system does not address their needs the consequences for them could be devastating. Issues such as chemical dependency, poverty, violence, and involvement in the prison system are examples of potential negative outcomes for untreated mental health issues including violence and trauma. “For many, such traumas have been multiple and prolonged throughout life, and such experiences are intertwined with mental illness, substance abuse, and behavioral problems” (Whitten, 2012).

Born in San Francisco, California, Tim Hawkinson, 55, is a sculptural artist who currently works and resides in Los Angeles, California. Interestingly, there exists no single medium in particular that Tim employs in his works; rather, with a widely diverse variety of found, purchased, or created materials and components, each creation he builds is its own unique statement, each one a separate experiment in material study and fabrication. There are, however, several common themes that run through the majority of his pieces, in addition to the splash of flavor that is his own unique style and artistic methods. Often, Tim’s works are somewhat anatomical in nature; that is, a reflection of not simply the human body but also the essence of human
Dr. Bruce Perry began his book The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog: And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook – What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss, Love, and Healing with a statement about children and their resilience. Much like what we discussed in class, Dr. Perry touched on how children were thought to be naturally resilient and that they seemed to bounce back quickly.

I have peers who on paper look like the perfect student, but internally, they are struggling to not become what they came from, due to the ACE’s they experienced as a child.

He claims that since God provides these, he allows humans to lead a satisfying and productive existence. Craig also states that without God, we are without guidance, meaningless, and in despair. In disagreement with atheist philosophers, Craig concludes that it is impossible to live a fufilling life without God. In this paper, I will examine each argument, and provide insight related to the strengths and weaknesses of his claims.
