Today, the
problem of the relationship between gay families and local communities grows
more and more serious because communities often oppose to gay families, whereas
many communities insist on the legal ban of gay families and marriage.
Nevertheless, formally or informally, gay families exist, although they have
certain limitations, especially in regard to the possibility of adoption
children. In such a situation, it is important to study the impact of the
community on gay families and the current situation related to the problem of
relationships between gay families and communities.

и проблемам со здоровьем,
которые могут быть вызваны этой дискриминацией
All
societies use gender and age to classify their members. American people have
developed "a set of prejudices and discriminations against our elders that may
be unequaled by any other society” (Palmore 1999 p. 4). The modern society has
acquired a negative attitude towards older individuals. This negative attitude towards
older generation is reflected in such spheres of modern life as media, language
and humor. For instance, such a phrase as "don’t be an old fuddy-duddy” denotes
that old people are treated as physically defective and "incompetent” (Woolf
1998). Or, for example, the whole industry of the greeting cards business is
"built around "over the hill” theme” (Nelson 2002 p. ix). The message of those
cards portrayed as humorous is rather simple. The essence of it is an intention
and undesirability to get older. Older people are usually given unflattering
characteristics. They are considered to be of little value, even a burden of
society; they are slow to accept changes and are often politically
conservative. Besides, the majority of older people are interpersonally and
economically dependent. And in addition to these features of older generation,
many people consider them to be "slow, deaf or stupid, non-sexual and alienated”
(SOA Watch 2010). Both men and women can feel prejudiced attitude, but women
usually suffer it to a greater extent more than men (Lukas 2010). This negative
attitude towards older people is called ageism. That is "a form of
discrimination which is based on someone's chronological age” (Smith 2010).
Ageism may concern a representative of any age group. However, it mainly refers
to older people.

When two
people marry each other they usually do not think about such end of their
family as divorce. Unfortunately, a lot of couples decide not to live together
and therefore break their marriage off. Divorce is a phenomenon opposite to
marriage. Divorce is "the legal breakup of marriage” (Divorce). Divorce is a
very stressful situation, because it is a rather major life change. Thus, all
members of the family usually suffer and it appears to be very difficult to
cope with the situation. Divorce usually affects finances, household jobs,
living arrangements, schedules and many other spheres of human life. The
situation becomes more complicated if there are children in the family. They
may be affected really deep and it is usually they who suffer from their parents’
divorce more than the others.
В статье рассказывается о влиянии развода родителей на психику ребёнка
It is
difficult to imagine a situation more terrible for a child than his or her
parents’ divorce. No matter how strongly can the parents control their
behavior, words, emotions, and the whole situation in general, a child suffers
in any case. The more troubles accompany the procedure of divorce, the more
psychological troubles it may cause. "Divorce is an intensely stressful
experience for all children, regardless of age or developmental level; many children
are inadequately prepared for the impending divorce by their parents” (Eleoff,
2003). The initial child’s reaction to his or her parents’ decision to separate
is usually as follows: a sense of vulnerability while the family is
disintegrating, the feeling of grief at a loss of the integrated family, loss
of the parent who is non-custodial, a strong feeling of powerlessness.

between children and television?'

problem arises: if we do not choose whether to be born or not, do we have the
right to decide whether to die or to continue our life? No world religion
permits a person to commit a suicide. Every faith punishes the lawbreaker in a
very severe way: he is not to get access to heaven ever. Still a lot of
suicides are committed every day all over the world and human society still
does not treat this action definitely. Still this is a choice made by one
person. On the other hand, what should a person do if he suffers an incurable
disease and wants to leave this world? Euthanasia is a very burning problem of
the modern society and it causes heated controversies and argues.
