Eulogy for Son The Death of a Child … Not many people realize that the death of a child is NOT in accordance to God’s NORMAL scheme of things. It is unnatural. God did not mean for a child to go first. A child buries the parent. Not the parent buries the child. Most people do NOT experience the pain and devastation of the death of a child. And I truly hope no parent will ever feel the death of their child because they do not deserve it. The pain and devastation are indescribable … and single persons – and even parents – will never feel this devastation until they experience losing a child themselves. If you love your child, the death of your child is more painful than the death of any of your loved ones, including one’s own parents. And because of this devastation, I do not wish this pain even to my enemies. I have felt the pain of the loss of a Sister; have felt the pain of the death of my Mother, and felt the death of my Father. I know how it feels. I experienced it. It is painful, looking at those old kind folks who bore you; who took care of you; went through all kinds of sacrifices and pains just to look after you for years and years, until one day the child stood on one’s own two feet, and then … there they are, the parents, helpless and lifeless in front of you. Minou, Cyrus’ Mother, describes the death of her Father as a deep stab, like a bullet in the heart that pierces the body deeply. The deaths of my Sister, of my Mother and my Father were like Minou’s Father’s death, deep, painful, sad … Then, the pain and sadness are gone. They remain a fond memory of the good things we did together. Our deaths as parents would be something like this. Mostly the fond memories of things we did together; and that as parents and as a family, we did what we had to do. We as parents have become older, and we lived our lives. It is now our Children’s turn to live theirs and hope, as parents, we did most of what we had to do as God had wished us. When we return to our Creator, it’s okay because we lived our lives … we have fulfilled our lives.
Kids are more afair of death than adults are. Kids do not underdstand death like adults. In one of our class discussions , Dr. Bradshaw told our class a story about how he went to Yale New Haven hospital (I think) and Dr. Bradshaw stated that a young boy who was a terminal cancer patient drew him a picture of a tank going after him. When Dr. Bradshaw told our class this , it was then clear to me that a child does not understand death as well as adults. But there are also ways a parent can help a child with breavement like buying the child a pet and when that pet dies, explain to the kid whay the pet died and that it can not be replaced. “childeren are capeable of experiencing greif” (DeSpilder 359). Childeren tend to be more quiet when dealing with a death of someone close. Childeren like to forget the sight of a dead one and try and move on without talking to anyone.
The lost of a child; who knew the pain? Who knew it would be a pain that could not be explained? Who knew you would have to force yourself not to cry all day and everyday? Who knew no words could take away this hurt? Who knew I would have to deal with this pain? Who knew I would be the one going through this pain? No words could ever explain the lost of a child?
To begin looking at the ethics of the face, Levinas paints a picture of the human being becoming egos. He discusses the metaphysics of existence that says that humans will do whatever it takes to persist in being and opposes what could defeat its existence. This idea comes from Spinoza’s claim that “everything that is does everything to persist in its existence.” This need for existence is what becomes the ego’s need to exist and makes humans do anything to keep alive.
There’s nothing more heart wrenching and soul consuming than losing a parent. You feel your whole world crumbling and blazing with a fire of disparity deep within your body. Rocking you into depression and holding you there till you feel as though you’ve lost your grasp in reality. The denial that, they are still there with you in this world and not lost forever in a sea of memories and a choir of “They’re watching you from up there, looking down at you.” But they’ll never know the connection that a father has with his daughter.
“For each day, farmers grow 2,800 calories per person on the planet,” but then why do we still have such huge amounts of people who have too little to eat. It is important to know what is hunger and undernourishment. Undernourishment always describe as a long-term hunger and hunger could be a physical condition marked by stomach pangs and general fatigue (Stone,2014). The most important reason that people have too little to eat, is in some regions, they don’t have the access to deliver the food and the place has been isolated for a long time, and the development agencies find it hard to get the food in and data out (Stone,2014). In other words, the food often doesn’t get to the people who really need it. As we can see in fig.1 and fig.2, fortunately, all the data represents that the overall number of undernourished people around the world had gone down. So that means more and more people will get a help and change their life
"Silver has always been the redheaded stepchild of gold throughout human history (Simpson)." This is due to the fact silver is not as rare as gold or as highly regarded. However, silver has still made a large impact to the economy and population of today. As a large factor in world trade, globalization is due partly to this metal. Today, silver is not only used as an accessory but in many useful things we use day to day. The history of silver encompasses many years, countries and people and is still ongoing today.
In many regions of the world, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, high levels of hunger are still prevalent. There has actually been an increase in hunger statistics in Sub-Saharan Africa over the past decade while the developed world has collectively experienced a decrease. Many factors are attributed to the lack of progress on this socio-political issue. The most common are the lack of good soil to produce food, natural disasters, and the surge in food prices. There have been several initiatives taken to reduce hunger but root of the problem has to be identified first before any legitimate change can occur.
In many parts of the world people go hungry every day and they don 't have the means to feed themselves or the security that they will eat again. The lands no longer bear fruit and cannot provide for those who counted on them to both survive and make a living. One such example is Ethiopia in Africa, and it is a hot zone of the hunger epidemic. Poor nutrition causes nearly half of the deaths in children under 5 ( 3.1 million children each year), as well as on a lesser note 1 in 4 of the world 's children have their growth stunted because of hunger. Meanwhile agriculture is a staple in most economies and Ethiopia is without that suffering leaving it with no food security. Ethiopia is in dire need of help with its hunger problem because

A death of a son or daughter is very heartbreaking, its one of the worst pain, a parent could ever go through in his or her entire life. Parents believe that they should out live their sons or daughters and when the child passes away before they do it comes as a big shock. When a child dies, the parents are forever picking up the pieces for a long time after the death. As the years go by other people have less pain and appear to accept the death of the child where a parent will still feel the same hurt for the rest of their lives. There is always a place missing in their hearts and it cannot be fulfilled by anyone. These questions are still asked by the parents who have been bereaved through a child. Did I really have the child I lost or was I dreaming? Will all my memories start to deteriorate as time passes by? Am I going to wake up from this nightmare? When certain times of the year come round, e.g. birthdays of the deceased, mother’s day, father’s day, Christmas and the anniversary of the day the deceased departed from this existence. At any of these times of the year it can be very agonizing for the parent of the deceased. It does not matter how long ago the child has been deceased for, the memories will always be there and the agony they went through at that particular time when their child passed over to the other side. Time is supposed to be a great healer in situations like this. This is not always the case. The parent learns to live with the pain of losing a child. Some days are b...
There are too many countries facing hunger in the world. Most of these countries are undeveloped countries. One of the major reason people endure hunger is because too many people live in poverty. Macionis (2011), states human beings in absolute poverty lack nutrition necessary for health and long term survival (p.251). People living in poverty are more likely to lack the proper nutritional foods and become severely malnourished. This unfortunately will lead to the death of many people, sadly. The amount of families living under poverty levels are subjected to an insufficient amount of food and water in order to sustain them so they have the ability to live a healthy long life.
Losing a father is very emotionally heartbreaking; as I know the feeling well. When I was
Poverty is linked with hunger. That is a global surety. Those with economic means have a consistent and sufficient co...
Cultures vary on how they view face. Bargiela-Chiappini (2003: 1462-63) indicated that extensive research found a clear-cut between those cultures where face is considered a significant, if not dominant factor that determines interpersonal behaviour and those where face is placed after other more dominant notions such as discernment, respect and deference. Understanding of face is affected by several factors in any culture, including personal values, self-identity in various groupings, role expectations and normative constraints (Earley, 1997: 95-96). Earley pointed to the importance of understanding and comparing cultural conceptualizations of the social self and its relationship to others in studying the dynamics of face and face-work in interpersonal contacts.
One of the causes to world hunger is poverty; poverty is economy problems like poor housing, poor health care, low wage paying jobs, and Etc. The definition of poverty is the act of being poor. Poverty is caused by the government when the world is in debt with each other and this is why we have poverty and people are starving all around the world.
