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.
