blog post #11

sara: hi how are you doing?
Me: good and you?
sara: having fun enjoying my days off
Me: your samester ended?
sara: yes, hey listen I went to the club yesterday
Me: then?
sara: I saw a very cute guy last night over there named nick and i think i love him
Me; what love him?
Sara; yes, you haven't heard about love at first site
Me: It's not possible the thing like love at first site doesn't happen in real life it just happens in movies and novels. Your feelings can be called attraction or infatuation
Sara; No, i am telling you i am in love and he likes me too
Me: what made you think you love her
Sara: He was tall handsom and very soft spoken. He knows how to treat a lady
Me: So, on the basis of just last nights observations you came to the conclusion that this guy Nick is very nice and mature?
sara: yes, ofcourse why would a person act different then himself thats what he is
Me:I don't think the people who come to clubs just for the sake of enjoyment are very serious about making relations. They just come there to enjoy there time and thats it. You will also come out of this phase of attraction after a while trust me. you are just impressed by his looks and style you won't even remember him after few weeks.
Sara: I still don't agree lets see if it's love or just attraction.
Me : ok
Sara: ok bye
Me: bye

blog post # 10

I read your essay and i think your summary needs little bit more work as it doesn’t tell what was the decision that Patrick made at the end and his feelings about it. You didn’t talk about all the  people who followed consequentialistm in the movie you missed Remy’s partner and Angie. I agree with the Patrick part but unclear about “Patrick believes it is a wrongfully thought for such people to commit it” would he agree if it was done by someone else? and also your essay is missing what message is the movie conveying or what was the idea that the movie tried to portray or depict.

blog post # 9 Fathering Paradoxes Contradiction and Dilemmas by Scott Coltrane

In the article coltrane has discussed different aspects of father hood and their affect on the kids. Like the social and economical position of the father, his presence and role in rearing a kid. The role of a father in a family is very important as it helps in the positive psychological development and strength of the children. As coltrane states "when men care for children on regular basis, they emphasize verbal interaction......and sex typing children"(441). In other words when men take care of children they focus on developing different skills in children instead of just playing with them which is typical. This style or method of  parenting decrease the negative ideas development in kids. As Coltrane states "These styles of father involvement have been......sensitivity in sons"(441). Also the kids who are raised in the presence of the father are more likely to be successful. As Coltrane states  "Many researchers continue to focus on fathers' economic contributions to children and report that fathers' resources improve children's life chances"(440). The kids raised by single parent which normally is mother don't get full attention due to the division of the focus because of many other responsibilities like economical and social etc. However when both parents are present, the children get more attention as the responsibilities are distributed among mother and father. As a result the environment of the house becomes more friendlier and caring, which decreases the chances of  kids getting involved in negative activities.
