Story in Woy Magazine that involves a Haitian father

There is a story in Woy Magazine that involves a Haitian father whose 14 year old son quickly realized that in the United States rules were lax and loose compared to back home. The boy had been neglecting his homework and taking money from his parents. The father badly beat him as a way of discipline. From his cultural point of view he was following the ways of his country. This father’s goal is for his children to be polite, gentle, obedient and civil but research show that children who are reared with corporal punishment are more likely to be aggressive and less successful in US (Grogan-Kaylor, 2005; Straus & Yodanis, 1996). The son however called 911 resulting in his father’s arrest. After the court proceedings had resolved the family took a vacation to visit family in Haiti. Upon landing in the airport, the father whipped his son with a leather strap and two days later the family returned to New York leaving the boy in Haiti with relative (Dugger, 1996). This cultural practice is unacceptable behavior in the United States. So the boy is left in Haiti, the law there is not the same in the States.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
