Lesson learned when dad shoots laptop
Unlike a lot of students, I find world news interesting. I’ll first start by clarifying that world news contains a wide range of information.
World news is not just about the troubling times in the Syrian government, but it also includes local Clarion news. As a society it is important that we know what is happening in the areas surrounding us.
The world we live in extends out of rural Pennsylvania, and with today’s media, we are able to get information unlike ever before. Even if the news is from overseas, a lot of news will affect us. To simply start out and test the waters, my first article will be about something simple.
The topic of the father shooting his daughter’s laptop has created a lot of controversy all over the internet. If you have yet to see this video, simply go to YouTube and search “father shoots daughter’s laptop.”
I found this video to be brilliant and hopefully a lesson learned for his daughter.
From what I get out of this video, she is spoiled and no other form of punishment has worked for her. People like to say that he took it too far, when he actually shot the computer. He bought it for her to use, he can break it, plain and simple.
The lesson the father is trying to finally get through, is that she has no sense of responsibility and gets everything handed to her. She has no reason to complain because her parents ask her to do a few chores around the house.
They take care of her on a daily basis, and it’s my assumption they also pay for most of what she wants. I think it was harsh, but much needed form of punishment.
A lot of parents would instantly be enraged that their son or daughter posted nasty comments about them on the internet for the public to read; in turn taking it out on them.
Sure, this was a tough parenting tool to use, but he didn’t lay a hand on her and didn’t take it out on her physically. I applaud the father for trying to teach his daughter what a lot of parents fail to teach.
So now that you have an idea of what I will be writing about, I look forward to giving my opinions on future news stories from all around the world.
