Blog Post 9: Fathers paradoxes and contradictions.

Single matriarch households are on the rise. The chances of the average married couple divorcing is officially likely (over 50 percent). The brain can function with only one hemisphere; it can compensate. So can women raising their children all by themselves. Development in the most base sense can be fostered by shelter, nutriments (food and water), and a sensible amount of education. People can compensate. But single parent households should not be glamorized or even set the example. It should be the last resort. When done right, two parent households (mother and father) improve the development of their offspring. "when done right" is helping the next generation with love and benevolent family values. Family is strong. It is stronger with a father and a mother.

  1. I think you might want to rephrase sentence three and four, as it sounds like you are implying a women's intelligence is equivalent to half a brain. Also, your group was asked to develop a claim regarding compatibility between masculinity and fatherhood. This paragraph does not focus or contain such a claim. Also there are not examples from Coltrane's reading in this paragraph? Please revise.

  2. Sad but true, the average married couple is headed toward divorce. It's sort of a contagious occurrence in this day and age. Although it is frowned upon a family should stay together as a unit. This creates a strong positive foundation for their children.
