Viscosity

2015-04-06T06:07:17Z

IrishConservative:

'''Viscosity''' is a [[liquid]]'s resistance to flow. <ref>[http://antoine.frostburg.edu/cgi-bin/senese/searchglossary.cgi?query=viscosity&shtml=%2Fchem%2Fsenese%2F101%2Fglossary.shtml Fred Senese's online chemical glossary]</ref>

*It describes the internal friction of a moving [[fluid]]. Friction acts tangentially opposite to the direction of relative motion between adjacent layers of the fluid. A fluid with large viscosity resists [[motion]] because its molecular makeup gives it a lot of internal friction. A fluid with low viscosity flows easily because its [[molecular]] makeup results in very little friction when it is in motion. Viscosity is governed by [[Stoke's Law]]<ref> [http://www.princeton.edu/~gasdyn/Research/T-C_Research_Folder/Viscosity_def.html (Princeton University)] </ref>

Abortion and feminism

2015-04-06T05:22:17Z

IrishConservative:

[[Abortion and feminism]] is linked and has demonstrated inconsistent, changing and contradictory views by feminists over time.

Early feminists like [[Susan B. Anthony]] and [[Mary Wollstonecraft]] campaigned for the equality of women, and recognized that abortion was not just an operation, but also a moral evil, being an act of murder.<ref>Cosner, L. ''Abortion: an indispensable right or violence against women''. Creation Ministries International. (2007) [http://creation.com/abortion-an-indispensable-right-or-violence-against-women-sex-selection-aborting-girls]</ref> While this position was shared by many early feminists, it is only openly acknowledged by a minority of current-day feminists.<ref>Feminists for Life. ''Feminist History''. (2011) [http://www.feministsforlife.org/history/index.htm]</ref> Decades after the death of the early feminists, their successors restructured feminist ideology and feminist politics, by altering its historical position to become a driving force behind the pro-abortion lobby for much of the 20th century.

In demonstration of this, a number of modern-day feminists have used linguistic [[red herring | red herrings]] to reframe the abortion debate around a woman's right to control her own body. Such red herrings include terms of "empowerment"<ref>Feminist Women's Health Center. ''Welcome to FMHC''. (updated January 27, 2001) [http://www.fwhc.org/]</ref> or "reproductive justice".<ref>Feminist Abortion Network. ''Feminst Abortion Network: Community Based. National Impact''. Brochure (n.d.) [http://www.feministnetwork.org/documents/FanBrochure.pdf]</ref> This technique obscures the fact that a [[fetus]] is a living, individual human being with its own rights and needs, not simply a growth or piece of property. The image of a woman as a mother and caregiver is carefully targeted and recast as career oriented to provide a flimsy justification for abortion .

Corporal punishment

2015-04-06T03:56:38Z

IrishConservative:

[[Image:Corporal pu.jpg|right|300px]]
'''Corporal punishment''' is the infliction of physical pain in response to wrongdoing, typically by methodically striking a particular part of the offender's body with an implement such as a paddle, or with the open hand. Its purpose is to correct, reform and deter the miscreant, and to deter others from similar misconduct.
In a broad sense, corporal punishments include [[flogging]], beating, branding, mutilation, blinding, and the use of the stock and pillory. The Torah ([[Judaism]]) describes some forms of corporal punishment for certain crimes and sins. The [[Bible]] contains seven verses that relate to the spanking of children.

[[Spanking]] of children and teens, whether at home or at school, is the most usual kind of corporal punishment. Parents are urged by the [[Bible]] to spank their offspring when they misbehave, for instance in [[Proverbs]] 13:24 (He who withholds the rod hateth his son).

[[Darrel Reid]], head of [[Focus on the Family]] - Canada (an [[evangelical Christian]] group) said that "The theological underpinning for family corporal punishment is tied up with the responsibility that God gives families for raising the young. You can find it particularly in the early books of the Bible, where God says your responsibility is not just nurturing but also correcting them."<ref>[http://www.religioustolerance.org/spankin3.htm Child corporal punishment: spanking] at "Religious tolerance" website.</ref>

Some people oppose the spanking of children, and in some countries (e.g. [[Sweden]]) it is illegal even for parents to do so. Swedish Member of Parliament Sixten Pettersson stated "In a free democracy like our own, we use words as arguments, not blows. We talk to people and do not beat them. If we can't convince our children with words, we shall never convince them with violence".

In some states of the [[United States]] a [[foster parent]] may not spank a [[foster child]].

Claiming to draw upon the latest research on brain development, therapist Alice Miller attacks childhood corporal punishment and asserts that spanking causes emotional blindness and leads to mental barriers that cut off awareness and the ability to learn new ways of acting. If this cycle repeats itself, the grown child will perpetrate the same "abuse" on later generations, Miller alleges.<ref>[http://www.naturalchild.org/alice_miller/booklist.html The Natural Child Project.]</ref> However, British teachers have warned that student behavior has markedly declined in Britain since the abolition of corporal punishment in British schools about a quarter century ago. A poll of 814 teachers, conducted by Association of Teachers and Lecturers and published in 2012, found a third had been hit or kicked by a student in the previous academic year.<ref>[http://www.theguardian.com/education/2012/apr/04/corporal-punishment-student-behaviour-worse Pupil behaviour worse since abolition of caning, warn teachers]</ref>

'''Judicial corporal punishment''' is the infliction of physical pain upon a person's body as punishment for a [[crime]] or [[infraction]], such as by caning or whipping. This kind of penalty remains on the statute book in several Asian, Middle Eastern and African countries.<ref>[http://www.corpun.com/rules.htm Country Files] at World Corporal Punishment Research.</ref>

The last US State to retain whipping as an official punishment for crime was [[Delaware]], in the 1950s.<ref>Newman, Graeme.
