Interpersonal Speech/ Assignment 1

PART I

When parents are not living together as in my case whereby I have to live in El Reno and my husband lives in Oklahoma City because we only have one vehicle and that is the place where he works can be so much undermining to the security and stability of our four kids and the entire family at largeIn Foner, N. (2009).This makes the children not enable to access the two very important people in their lives through because they are only able to see them over the weekends only.Parent child contact is very crucial during the upbringing of children because this availability makes the children even to have the same playmates even as the parents and at some instances it also makes the children to even participate in play with the parents and more so in the extracurricular activities, this enables a very strong relationship to be build between the parents and the children which enables them to grow up with a lot of confidence in life which is not the case for our family because the two of us are not always available for our kids bearing in mind that we only meet over the weekends only.However you realize that this relocation is not avoidable because both us need to work for the familyLansford, J. E., Deater-Deckard, K. D., & Bornstein, M. H. (2009).This distance kept by the two of us interferes with the normal day to day contact with the children and it makes the children to be more in contact with the parent they are living with and not the other parent and this incidence may bring about misunderstanding in the family in a case whereby the parent who I living far from the kids may not be able to understand the behavior of the kids because of lack of enough contact with them and this may make them differ in different aspects due to issues of misunderstanding.

Actually when both parents live with their children, there is always a good understanding in the family and at the same time this creates stability and continuity amongst the children which makes them grow with so much confidence in life.

This distance between a parent and the kids also brings about a feeling of the parent who the kids is with is more supportive than the other parent, this may bring about a disagreement in the family and thus this calls for the parents staying with the kids to take it as his/her responsibility to show the worth of the other parent to the kids so that a conflict may not arise in the family.

This distance may also bring forth an issue for example in a case whereby my kids are required to go and spend the weekend with their father thus having to move away from their primary residence over the weekend.This brings about a conflict in the family because it disrupts the social network of the children because they have to live their friends whom they play basketball with this may also disrupt the plans of the kids that you realize they cannot play basketball with friends over the weekend and they may also not be able to attend a friend’s birthday party.This may be so much that it reaches a point whereby the kids feel they do not want to spend time with the friends or the parents, thus this may result to a feeling of loneliness which may bring forth a conflict to the family.

This distance may also be a source of conflict due to increase in financial demands whereby money has to be spend in order to keep the two families moving for example travel expenses have to be met every weekend and also money has to be spent to plan for the weekend visitations, this is an hectic state for example in a case whereby one has to reschedule duty in order to visit the family over the weekend.

This conflict affects me as a person because when my kids have a feeling of loneliness due to the absence of their dad it pains me so much because as a parent I have to sympathize with them and also it has to take so much of my time to talk to them and make them understands why Dad is not always with us and he is only available over the weekends only, this brings forth some psychological discomfort also. Now, at this point we both have separated due to this issue and have had more issues than we have ever had in the 4 years we have been together but we have both decided this is best for us and the children.

At the same time, this issue brings forth conflict and mostly in the case whereby I am required to take care of the financial bills when the other person is not available because you realize that since I am the one with the kids all through I need to cater for all their financial needs because it is me who is available hence this may bring forth some misunderstanding and mostly in a case whereby, when the kids ask for money from their dad, he takes his time to respond, this becomes very tricky and it affects my feelings as a person.

PART II

1. Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the United States Constitution states“No person except a natural-born citizen, or citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President.” This acts as the basis of the qualifications of presidency in the United States of America. According to this clause the president should be a natural citizen born in America.According to me this clause was meant to exclude some people from vying for this post and, mostly those who are not born in America. Considering the act of multiculturalism been experienced in the world the clause is not a good one because it will lock out persons who can lead America in a great way from participating in elections, for example this clause would have been used to lock out Hamilton from vying for presidency, but after keen consultation it was noticed that there was no sufficient evidence to lock him out of the race. Thus according to me this clause may not be an effective one because it may be used to even lock out candidates who may not be natural born of America and have the potential of becoming good leaders from this very crucial position in any country.
