Consider the facts of the following case when answering the questions below:

Dale and Mike Parak were twin brothers and best friends. They spent their entire lives looking out for each other’s interests. While growing up, the two were inseparable. They played sports together, double-dated frequently, and attended the same university. They grew closer as they aged, they got married at about the same time, and eventually, both were divorced. After they retired from their jobs, they decided to live together to save money, and they still enjoyed each other’s company.

When he was 70 years old, Mike was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors predicted that he had about 6 months to live. The brothers agreed that Mike should not suffer. Mike and Dale wrote and signed a note stating that they decided to commit suicide. Dale broke 20 tranquilizers into Mike’s evening meal and watched as he ate it. Yet, when Dale checked on Mike one hour later, Mike was still alive. Dale panicked. He took a .38-caliber revolver from his desk and shot Mike, killing him instantly. Dale then went into the kitchen and took a handful of tranquilizers. He did not die. He awoke the next morning as somebody pounded on the front door. It was a neighbor who, seeing that Dale was dazed and confused, decided to call an ambulance and the police.

The responding police officer conducted an investigation, and Dale was arrested and charged with the premeditated, 1st-degree murder of Mike. The prosecutor, although noting it to be a difficult case, pursued the case because she thought that no citizen had the right to decide when someone should die. Dale Parak pled guilty to 1st-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 5 years in a maximum-security prison. (Note: This was the lowest sentence that could be given to a defendant convicted of his crime.)

• What is your personal definition of “justice”? What is the formal definition of “justice”? Do you believe that “justice” was served in this scenario?
• What is the state definition of the charge that you would file as the prosecutor against Dale? Did Dale commit each of the components and elements of the crime? The elements for 1st-degree, premeditated murder are 1) the unlawful killing; 2) with malice aforethought; 3) of another human being. Explain how each element was or was not committed.
• According to the definition of justice you provided, was this sentence just? Why or why not?
• If you were the prosecutor in this case, would you have charged Dale Parak with any crime? With 1st-degree murder? Why?

In this journal, you will create a 500 word script to address the issue of teen pregnancy.  You will do this by exploring the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial influences on the development of the teen parent(s), family, and, of course, the infant.  You will write a script that you feel captures the essence of teen pregnancy, as if you were providing the script for a public service announcement (PSA) on TV or radio. Unlike a typical written assignment, a PSA is persuasive in nature and speaks directly to the audience, encouraging them to read this information and empower themselves (or others) who need it.  For example, the writing style will look more like this: “Teens, do you know that your chances of graduating high school decrease significantly after having a baby?” It is attention-getting and powerful.

 

Your script should address the following:

• At least one current statistic on teen pregnancy (within the last 3 years).
• The effect of teen fathers on the pregnancy, teen mother’s development, and infant development.
• Analyze how at least 1 of the major themes of development (Health and Well-Being, Family and Parenting, Education, Culture, or Gender) positively and negatively influences the physical, cognitive and psychosocial outcomes for the children of teen parents.
• Analyze how at least 1 of the major themes of development (Health and Well-Being, Family and Parenting, Education, Culture, or Gender) positively and negatively influences the physical, cognitive and psychosocial outcomes for the teen parents.
• At least one local and one wide-ranging (i.e. internet or phone) resource from which teens, their friends, or their parents can get more information or assistance regarding teen pregnancy.

Parents demonstrate varying levels of warmth, expectations for adherence to rules, and openness of communication with children. Understanding the characteristics and outcomes associated with parenting styles can guide you in helping parents develop the most effective skills for raising their children.

Tasks:

Use your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet to review the following parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive (Baumrind, 1971), and disengaged (Novak & Pelaez, 2004). After reviewing the styles, answer the following questions:

• Which parenting style or styles did your parents use? Describe the impact on your development.
• If you are a parent, which style have you seen to be most or least effective?
• If you are not a parent, which style do you imagine you would use? Discuss the impact of various aspects of culture on parenting styles. Are there some cultural groups that would benefit from one style of parenting more than others?

Support your answers with research and developmental theory. Consider outcomes to Erikson’s stages for each parenting style. For example, which style is most likely to produce a positive outcome during the stage of trust versus mistrust? How would each parenting style impact psychosocial development according to Erikson?
