[1] Obedience and respect for authority are the most important virtues children should learn.


[2] A person who has bad manners, habits, and breeding can hardly expect to get along with decent people.


[3] If people would talk less and work more, everybody would be better off.


[4] The business man and the manufacturer are much more important to society than the artist and the professor.


[5] Science has its place, but there are many important things that can never be understood by the human mind.


[6] Every person should have complete faith in some supernatural power whose decisions he obeys without question.


[7] Young people sometimes get rebellious ideas, but as they grow up they ought to get over them and settle down.


[8] What this country needs most, more than laws and political programs, is a few courageous, tireless, devoted leaders in whom the people can put their faith.


[9] No sane, normal, decent person could ever think of hurting a close friend or relative.


[10] Nobody ever learned anything really important except through suffering.


[11] What the youth needs most is strict discipline, rugged determination, and the will to work and fight for family and country.


[12] An insult to our honor should always be punished.


[13] Sex crimes, such as rape and attacks on children, deserve more than mere imprisonment; such criminals ought to be publicly whipped, or worse.


[14] There is hardly anything lower than a person who does not feel a great love, gratitude, and respect for his parents.


[15] Most of our social problems would be solved if we could somehow get rid of the immoral, crooked, and feebleminded people.


[16] Homosexuals are hardly better than criminals and ought to be severely punished.


[17] When a person has a problem or worry, it is best for him not to think about it, but to keep busy with more cheerful things.


[18] Nowadays more and more people are prying into matters that should remain personal and private.


[19] Some people are born with an urge to jump from high places.


[20] People can be divided into two distinct classes: the weak and the strong.


[21] Some day it will probably be shown that astrology can explain a lot of things.


[22] Wars and social troubles may someday be ended by an earthquake or flood that will destroy the whole world.


[23] No weakness or difficulty can hold us back if we have enough will power.


[24] It is best to use some prewar authorities in Germany to keep order and prevent chaos. [You'll have to pretend it is 1946 when you answer this one.]


[25] Most people don't realize how much our lives are controlled by plots hatched in secret places.


[26] Human nature being what it is, there will always be war and conflict.


[27] Familiarity breeds contempt.


[28] Nowadays when so many different kinds of people move around and mix together so much, a person has to protect himself especially carefully against catching an infection or disease from them.


[29] The wild sex life of the old Greeks and Romans was tame compared to some of the goings-on in this country, even in places where people might least expect it.


[30] The true American way of life is disappearing so fast that force may be necessary to preserve it.

The Multifaceted Nature of Poverty: Unpacking Its Core Causes

 The Multifaceted Nature of Poverty: Unpacking Its Core Causes 1. Executive Summary Poverty, a persistent global challenge, extends far beyond a mere lack of income. This report systematically examines its complex and interconnected causes, moving from precise definitions to a detailed analysis of economic, social, structural, and environmental factors. A fundamental understanding reveals that poverty is not a singular phenomenon but a multifaceted outcome of interacting forces, necessitating integrated and systemic solutions. The analysis underscores that while individual circumstances play a role, the overwhelming evidence points to deeply embedded societal structures and global dynamics as the primary architects of widespread and enduring deprivation. Addressing poverty effectively requires a comprehensive approach that targets these systemic roots, rather than focusing solely on individual behaviors or temporary relief. 2. Introduction: Defining Poverty in its Many Forms Povert...

Brainstorming: A Super Important Skill

-
  Brainstorming is super important because it helps us unlock a whole bunch of ideas and possibilities that we might not have thought of on our own. Think of it like this: when you put a bunch of minds together, or even just dedicate some focused time to free association, you're creating a space where creativity can really flow. Benefits of Brainstorming: ·       Generates a wide range of ideas: Brainstorming encourages quantity over quality in the initial stages. This means you're not filtering yourself and you're more likely to stumble upon some truly innovative or unexpected solutions.   ·       Sparks creativity and innovation: One person's idea can trigger another, leading to a snowball effect of new concepts and approaches. It's like building blocks – one idea lays the foundation for the next. ·       Encourages collaboration and diverse perspectives: When done in a group, brainstorming brings t...

A Sledgehammer is ...  Not ... a Behavior Change Tool. Constructive Feedback Behavioral kids and teens*, typically get absolutely inundated by crushing waves of criticism.  Pause for a moment right here.  Read this again to establish a deep empathic connection with this reality.  Imagine crushing waves of criticism inundating you every day for years and years.   Close your eyes. Breathe gently and deeply.  Imagine how it would feel. Not only do behavioral kids tend to get subjected to frequent negative feedback on their problem behaviors, but they are very typically hyper-criticized for ordinary behaviors as well. Behavioral kids tend to get scrutinized frequently, in everything they do.  Many behavioral kids know this and say it very clearly. This is extraordinarily destructive to the child and very counter-productive. Imagine for a moment, being hyper-criticized at work; moment to moment, day-in-and-day-out, for y...
