Test Tips in BB!

April 27 Online Class

Many of you touched on the topic last class, but trauma happens to children during divorce. As much as we would like to believe that it doesn't happen, or won't happen to us, the question is: Can you have a "good" divorce?
Washington Post Article to start with:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/14/AR2007121402038.html
(Clips will be on blog)

This isn't a question (at least in this period of the class) about the parents feeling(s) about each other, but the effects on the children.

In what circumstances is a divorce better than the parents being married? Then, regardless of the reason, parents are going to continue to divorce, so how do we help minimize the impact on the children? How do you work with families who ARE divorcing) (Rule: there is no loophole- no martial counseling to repair the marriage etc.). Divorce is imminent.

Use real research to back up your opinions. And avoid copy and paste as much as possible. Give credit where it is due but more paraphrasing! It gets tedious to read copy- paste articles. You are each reading things so you are cliff- notes-ing for each other, we aren't looking to read 25 research articles ourselves;)

Also, make sure your responses are meaningful...don't just respond to the first one you see with some vague agreement.

What Would You Do? Illegal Immigration

A Brief History & Cat Video

National Geographic 1912

EUGENICS BEFORE HITLER.
January 1912, National Geographic Magazine
"Our Immigration Laws From The View-Point Of National Eugenics"
By Prof. Robert DeC. War, of Harvard University

As has been established already, Hitler and the Third Reich based their Eugenics programme on American Eugenics, which were enacted into law in at least 27 states in the good ole U.S. of A.. well before Hitler's time.

Our Immigration Laws From The View-Point Of National Eugenics
By Prof. Robert DeC. War, of Harvard University
January 1912
(The Full Article including original photocopy of magazine pages)
..."by selecting our immigrants through proper legislation, we have the power to pick out the best specimens of each race to be the parents of our future citizens."

Blacks are not discussed. Jews apparently are alluded to when the author states, "Yet there are certain parts of Europe from which no aliens should be allowed to enter this country, for reasons which are eugenically of the first importance."
