Importance of Parents| 6 Essential Roles in Our Life

Parents are the ones who show genuine love to a person. A person can expect unconditional love only
from his mother and father. In most civilized societies, parents take a great care in upbringing their
children. They are the ones who help the child over come his negative attributes and insufficiency. A child
with good parenting rarely fails in life. Parents form the family of a child till he is married. In many
peoples success, the role of parents is the key. You can even notice many world leaders and
philosophers describing the role of their parents in their life. Parents give many things to their children and
are directly involved in child development. Without parents it would be very tough for any one to have a
better life.

Values of Teachers
Did you ever have a former student reach out and share a story from your classa story that you didnt
even remember? The story could be about a kind word, an importantly timed smile, or even positive,
constructive feedback. It is often the little things that make the biggest difference for a child.
As teachers we have the incredible opportunity and power to make a difference in the lives of our students.
In addition to teaching the skills, knowledge, and literacy that will help our students become skilled and
learned adults who contribute to society, we also have the ability and responsibility to teach our students to
be compassionate and empathetic members of society. We can teach this by example, by being an effective
teacher and demonstrating compassion and empathy in our daily interactions with our students. In my
experience and opinion, empathy is a key ingredient in teacher efficacy!

Again, it is often the small things that you do that make the biggest differences. While you may have written
an effective lesson, how have you interacted or communicated with your students? Were you kind, caring,
and compassionate? Where do you stand when the students enter the room? Are you behind your desk or at
the door greeting them? An effective teacher greets students at the door with a smile. These small actions
have a huge impact on both learning and behavior

Values of Religion
The value of religion depends, of course, on what you mean by "religion". If religion is merelyeuphemization
of escapism or nihilism, as it so often manifests itself, then it probably has a net negative value"probably"
only because I can imagine some poor unfortunate souls that are constituted in ways that are painfully
incompatible with the world as presently or possibly configured. Too many of us use religion or are used by
religion to stop caring about the world and each other, except to the extent it and we happen to be "good"
already.
Too many of us wait on God (or an analog) to solve our problems. Too many of us demand that others wait
for God to solve our problems. Too many of us posit heaven (or an analog) far away in time or space -- or
even as negation of time and space. Is it any surprise, then, that our world in practice reflects this escapism
and nihilism?
If religion is merely an instigator of conflict over convoluted propositions about supernatural entities, as it
also so often manifests itself, then again it probably has a net negative value -- here, "probably" only
because I can imagine some that are constituted in ways that are stunningly incomprehensible to the rest of
us, and whose expressions, if they form propositions at all, must inescapably baffle us while nonetheless
being the greatest possible fulfillment of their will to relate with us. Some celebrate faith as irrationality,
deriding science and reason, supposing their sacrifice to be required by God. Some indulge in superstition,
carelessly embracing their own interpretation of experience without concern for reconciling others'
interpretations and experiences. Some mindlessly repeat and otherwise consent to the positions of
authorities under duress of social pressures.

Values of Society
If a society is going to hold together and not fall apart, it needs a values
consensus; that is, a system of values that almost everybody in the society agrees with.
It is not necessary that everybodys behavior actually conform to these values. There
will, of course, be a certain amount perhaps even a large amount of behavioral
deviance from these accepted values. The important thing is that they be accepted
even by the deviant person, who will feel a degree of guilt or shame when he behaves
in the wrong way. Imagine, for instance, a society in which chastity is one of the great
values. Fornication and adultery and sodomy will not be rare in such a society, but your
average fornicator, adulterer, and sodomite will feel guilty when he deviates from his
societys great value of chastity.
The United States once had a tremendous disagreement about basic values. One part
of the country felt that slavery and secession were morally permissible, even admirable,
while another part of the country felt just the opposite. As a result the nation came
undone quite literally and it was put back together only at the cost of a colossal
civil war. Can that, or anything resembling that, happen again as a result of our current
culture war in which there is great disagreement between cultural/moral conservatives
and cultural/moral liberals?

Values of Books
Good books improve our standard of living. They tone up our intellectual taste they
make our outlook broad. They console us when we are depressed.

Books encourage us when we are defeated. They inspire us to work hard with hope and
courage. They remove our ignorance and add to our knowledge. Books enrich our
experience and sharpen our intellect. Thus a good book is our true friend.
We should develop a healthy habit of reading books. We must select the books
carefully. We should read only good books. Reading good books has many
advantages. Bad books spoil our character. They develop unhealthy habits in us. We
should follow children and young men to read only good books. They should act upon the
lessons they learn from such books. A good book is our friend, philosopher and guide.

Life as a Blind Person- Interview

As a typical Nigerian, the little I "knew" about blind people was that
they were illiterates or beggars on the street till I met Dr Ife
Akintunde, when I went to do my masters in Lancaster. My
perception changed completely. Ife is one of the most inspiring,
intelligent, lovable, always willing to help and loving person I have
met in my life (he is a blogger as well). He might not know but he
inspires and motivates me. I learnt a lot from him during my one
year in Lancaster, one of which is you can live a purpose fufilled life
even with a disability.
I have been wanting to blog about my dear friend for a while now
but didn't know where to start as there is so much to write about

him so I decided to interview him. I was chuffed when he agreed to

let us into his world. Thank you Ife!!!!
Tell us a bit about yourself
I was born in Nigeria, on 10 November 1967. Shortly after birth, it
was discovered that my eyesight was not as good as expected. From
then, my parents began the search, through ophthalmologists,
educational institutions and friends, to ensure that I received the
best education and care possible. I attended the Pacelli School for
blind children in Lagos, King's College, also in Lagos, and after
spending the 1984-1985 session at the University of Jos, resumed as
a direct entry law student at the University of Lagos. I graduated in
1988, then went to the law school. After being called to the bar, and
serving, I came to do a masters in international relations and
strategic studies at Lancaster university.
I am aware that some VI people have some degree of sight
does this apply to you?
In fact, this is a difficult question to answer, because I never knew
how much sight I had, relative to other people. But I can say
categorically that my eyesight has worsened, because there was a
time I could read the bold newspaper headlines. Sometimes, I
believe I can see things, not just shadows. I may be walking fast,
and just notice something in my way. I try to clarify whether it is a
shadow or not, and sometimes, I can plainly see that I see more
than the shadow. At other times, I'm not so sure.
Where do you see Ife in 10 years time?
I wish I could say, taking a rest. I hope that by then, I'd have more
recognition, that the causes I espouse will be better known and most
important, that I would be associated with excellence in what I
do. But more than the professional aspirations, I hope that at the
end of each day, I'd come home to a loving family. That's the one
thing I've actually planned for, but it's the one thing that has taken
the longest to materialise.
As a blogger, why did you start blogging and what do you
blog about?
A friend had been telling me about blogging for so long that one
day, on a visit, we just said, "do it". My blog is called "Birth of a
Notion" because I was thinking about the bridge between an idea

and its implementation. In one sense, that's what I hope to do with

my company as well, convert people's ideas into reality. But the
blog does more. It's subtitle is "challenging perceptions" because I'd
like people to look beyond the face value. I blog about my faith, life
events, international politics, disability and anything that takes my
fancy.
If you could give a word of advice to a visually impaired
young person living in Nigeria what would it be?
It's tough, but you're tougher. Keep trying to persuade your friends
and the government that you can do it, but you'll never persuade
anyone if you don't believe it yourself.
If you could give a word of advice to the same young person
living in the UK what would it be?
Don't be complacent.
