If a primary caretaker has a negative attitude toward his child, it increases the risk that his child will grow up hostile toward others. It is not just aggression toward others that results from child abuse; a large number of children raised by abusive parents also harm themselves. The negative behavior occurs because the children did not learn appropriate techniques for handling life’s disappointments. When raised without proper coping skills, individuals are more likely to act “inappropriately” than if they have developed more reasonable approaches. As reported by Dr. Geoffrey Dahmer in “The Bully Papers,” the effect of poor parenting is that everyone gets the child they deserve.

Money seems to have a big role in our society; we can’t do much or get far if we don’t have any. Money is valuable in different ways, even when nobody sees it physically. Today’s society requires faith in the government and in the banking system that the money is being handled in a proper manner; If not, then hide all of the money under the mattress or around the house. We have no clue what happens in the banks or how they take care of the money. Everyone assumed that money was simple; someone either had it or nobody didn’t. However, being introduced to this assignment, the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts now seem similar. We don’t actually see the money being transferred. When getting paid, cash isn’t being handed, a physical check isn’t being presented; the money is all directly transferred to the bank account, and we must trust the bank to receive more money.

Sports nowadays are played with one of four reasons in mind; for fun, for scholarships, for careers and for an outlet. Fun is how most people start out playing, hopping from one sport to the next to find the ones that are most enjoyable and stress relieving. Scholarships are either sought after or a bonus, some people may need to receive a scholarship in order to go to college and others may receive without trying to achieve them. Career paths allow for people to either make money from something they love or something they’re good at. Then there are those who need support, who have no way of getting their emotions out or have a hard time expressing themselves. Bottled up anger and stress are given an activity that gives them some form of release. Numerous players use their sport to vent their negative emotions. Some sports give players a more physical way to channel their feelings, while others give a less physically damaging sense of competitiveness. Regardless of the reason for playing, all sports are equally difficult and competitive in their respective fields. There are sports who get outshined by the more physically involved sports that captivate their viewers. 

Lacrosse, one of the top ten sports to give out scholarships to players, is a moderately competitive sport. Due to its increase in popularity and high chance in scholarships, it has seen an increase of new players throughout the years. Lacrosse has one major difference in gameplay when it comes to which gender is playing, the amount of physical contact players are allowed to have with another. Women’s lacrosse, although just as competitive as men’s, has seen ridicule about how the game works and the constant halts in gameplay due to the increase of technicalities experienced throughout the game. Despite these obstacles, women’s lacrosse has fought to no longer be outshined by men in order to be considered equal or even superior to men’s lacrosse.

Unfortunately this will not be done in a day, women in sports have to fight the past gender norms that have hindered their participation and treatment in sports. They have experienced the influence of society dictating how much force women are allowed to use while playing sports. Regardless of the capability of women, men in particular have dictated not only the amount of bodily contact but how much they are allowed to participate in sports or activities. Richard Bell stated in A History of Women in Sport Prior to Title IX, in the eighteen hundreds, men  believed that everyone had a set amount of energy they could use and if “physical and intellectual tasks” were done at the same time hazardous mainly toward women, especially if they were menstruating. Not only did men believe that there were physical hindrances if a woman were to participate in something that was both physical and needed some form of intelligence.They believed that women had no place to be except the home, caring for the children, the estate and the husband. 

Women back in the nineteenth and early twentieth century had to follow not only social norms but also the legal side of getting married and surrendering legal power over to their husbands. As John Green describes it in Women in the 19th Century: Crash Course US History #16, “husbands held authority over the person, property and choices of their wives. Also since women weren’t permitted to own property and property ownership was a precondition for voting, [women] were totally shut out of the political process.” Women have fought for centuries to have rights in every aspect of their lives, from simply owning property to being able to run a company and vote in elections. Up until the early twentieth century men were the reason why so many people, not just women, are still suffering from one or more forms of discrimination in todays world. 

As a result of this discrimination, women worked to reform and fight for their rights back through reform movements in the nineteenth century. These movements allowed women to become active in building asylums or leading the charge in “sobering up the men of America,” as Green states. Women became sick of seeing men chain them down while they got to go gallivanting around drinking to the hearst content rather than seek out the wife’s comfort and embrace. This temperance movement made a huge impact in American life back in the day as men who supported the sober movement realized that if women had the right to vote it would benefit them greatly. Women back in the day fought for simple rights such as land and financial stability against the husband’s drunken abuse both physically and financially. 

As the years progressed into the early twentieth century, women finally achieved the ability to vote when the nineteenth amendment was approved by the senate on june fourth, 1919 and ratified in august, 1920. Still the fight for equality was far from over, even in the twentieth century women still had to fight the societal expectations they were forced to fulfill.

Men dictating and tying women down to simple standards and horrible living and working conditions, gave women the courage to fight for a better life not only for themselves, but their children. They had given women more freedom to choose their lifestyles and career paths in the twenty-first century. This also gave way for equality in sports, women slowly were allowed to participate in activities that did not require much effort. Such as swimming, horseback riding, tennis and croquet, due to the idea that women should not exert themselves. However, with the rise in women’s independence, they slowly got involved in more physically demanding sports over the years. Now, women play in field hockey, basketball, soccer, ice hockey and lacrosse, which are more contact heavy than the elegant sports women played back in the day.

Spotted lanternflies are a nuisance in America because of their destructive nature, eating away the trees’ bark and the seeds that, if planted, will become trees for the new generation. Insecticides would also help kill the insects, but would in turn harm the plants, trees, and other organisms because of their toxicity. Stopping the spread would require everyone’s cooperation to create traps to either eliminate the pests for good or relocate them to their natural habitat in China. Even with such techniques like the traps and motions to stop these spotted lanternflies from coming to America, the outcome will never change. They are now, even with the climate changing from colder to colder, stepping into the winter season, waiting to be born when spring arrives. No matter how much time is spent getting rid of them, it will automatically result in a conflict of nature to fix the imbalance caused by the Spotted Lanternfly.

These reasons are to be given as nobody can tell if the spread will ever stop. The Spotted Lanternfly has found its place in America, just like how the Gypsy Moth was introduced in 1869 as being a native insect in Europe and Asia. But the parasitoid called the Ooencyrtus Kuvanae wasp, which was introduced from Japan to America in 1909, has limited the Gypsy Moth’s spread from 1911–1971 through the laying of its eggs on the host in its caterpillar form, where the hatchling would kill the host as food. This parasitoid has also been doing the same to spotted lanternflies in 2016. This causes a rift in their spread as they are culled by this parasitoid to have their hatchlings protected by the Spotted Lanternfly and then be eaten alive after hatching. Superparasites is the use of female parasitoid behavior to lay their eggs on an insect that has already fallen prey to the parasite and has developed over time. The estimated time to plant parasites in the Spotted Lanternflies’ eggs was from when March was over to the middle of April, when scientists collected these eggs and placed them inside incubators to see the development at close hand. Parasitic wasps have also joined in the fray to lay parasitic substances on the eggs and were collected. Their emergence was recorded the following day, and the eggs were hatching from their exit holes, which determines their existence inside the hosts’ eggs. This method, using another creature that was crucial against the Gypsy Moth, is both incredible and somewhat curious. If the parasitoid can stop the spread, will the spotted lanternflies become immune to the superparasite attacks and fight back with each generation? Though this questions on how it will fair against when winter and any other events during their lifecycle, but hopefully the parasitoid can help stop the Spotted Lanternfly population from growing even more problematic for the community.

Spotted Oviposition Substrate Selection Lanternflies lay their eggs in locations other than dead tree trunks. These locations could be shrubs, building structures, or vines 200 cm above ground. Its host preferences are determined by nymphs and adults from 23 plant species (13 trees, 1 white ash, 5 shrubs, 5 vines, and 1 oriental bittersweet). The density of the egg masses ranges from 0.2 to 75.2 masses/m2, with an average of 6.0 to 6.7 egg masses/m2, but can vary between 2.3-32.5 egg masses/m2 and 0.2-45.4 egg masses/m2 depending on the substrate type.

Spotted lanternflies in their nymph stage have four instar stages that grow their bodies from May to September. The first three instar stages are all black and covered in white spots and are only 1/4 inch with the ability to leap away from any danger such as predators or environmental hazards.

If a primary caretaker has a negative attitude toward her child it increases the risk that her child will grow up hostile towards others. And it’s not just aggression toward others that results from child abuse; a large number of children raised by abusive parents also harm themselves. This negative behavior occurs because the children don’t learn appropriate techniques for handling life’s disappointments. When raised without proper coping skills, individuals are much more likely to act “inappropriately” than if they have developed more reasonable approaches. The effect of poor parenting, as reported by Dr. Geoffrey Dahmer in “The Bully Papers,” is that everyone gets the child he deserves.

If all primary caretakers have negative attitudes towards their children that result will increase the likeliness of children growing up to be hostile towards others. Aggression towards others is not the only result from child abuse— a large amount of children raised by abusive caretakers also harm themselves. The reason for negative behavior is because abused children are poorly educated in dealing with disappointments in life. Compared to children who are raised with appropriate coping mechanisms, children who are uneducated in these respects are much more likely to act “inappropriately.” Author of “The Bully Papers,” Dr. Geoffrey Dahmer claims that every parent gets the child they deserve.

Spotted lanternflies are a nuisance in America because of their destructive nature, eating away the trees’ bark and the seeds that, if planted, will become trees for the new generation. Despite the fact that getting rid of them requires a considerable amount of searching, these insects of their kind wander the United States where there would be other hiding spots other than trees. Insecticides would also help kill the insects, but would in turn harm the plants, trees, and other organisms because of their toxicity. Stopping the spread would require everyone’s cooperation to create traps to either eliminate the pests for good or relocate them to their natural habitat in China. Because researchers know that Spotted Lanternflies lay their eggs inside host trees during the winter season and they awaken only during the spring season, this becomes a repeated cycle without an end. It also goes into the factor of how firewood shipments are not stopping their routine to check for any invasive species like the Spotted Lanternfly and remove them from the firewood.

These reasons are to be given as nobody can tell if the spread will ever stop. The Spotted Lanternfly has found its place in America, just like how the Gypsy Moth was introduced in 1869 as being a native insect in Europe and Asia.
