Rhetorical Analysis
As indicated by research, talk is the research of how
authors and speakers utilize words to impact a group of people.
Be that as it may, the critical research is an article that breaks a
work of true to life into parts and in this method, utilizes them
to discover how they team up to make a specific impact which is
purposed to convince, attract or rather educate the given group
of onlookers. However, you should to always save in
understanding that scholars of different orders and they
regularly utilize different written work procedures which are to
help them complete their goals. In this way, it is all altogether
different how we should to investigate a relevant article has
contrast with a humanities author. What's more, more in this
way, the writers have completely different objectives as a
primary concern and in this manner driving them to have
different composition systems.
The main thing in the reasonable testing is scan the
writer's article carefully and seeing every one of the things that
you have read. You have to likewise be uncommonly sharp in
distinguishing the author's theory and dependably keep their
concept of contention through your peruse. After you have read
and understood the entire article, or disagreement, then you
have to kick back and now begin analyze a well-ordered every

one of the elements which have remained used as a part of that
piece. On the other hand, main disagreement in transit, you can
take as much time as is needed and think back to the sources or
the entire struggle.
As you are doing it the second time, you ought to have the
accompanying inquiries as a top advantage so you must to
answer them as you read through the record. In the first place,
you should be quick to know what's the suggestion of the
dispute, what did the dramatist think about? What is his or her
prompting in structure this piece of work? Who is the group of
onlookers for this search? Does the author utilize exchange and
phrasing? Are the sentence structures improving? Among other.
These ways will help to check comprehend the entire article on
the double when understanding it either the first or the second
time as specific by your energy of understanding
The above-given questions are used to empower you to
comprehend why the writer has chosen to compose that sort of
work the way he or she has done it. They widen all the thought,
methodologies and ideas the writer have used as a part of that
bit of work. When all the above things are done, you have to get
to the following level of the research where sure thing are taken
care of. To begin with, you have to create your proposal which
will be used for the relevant study. This springs you a clear
picture of the correct things or thoughts that you have to remove
from the creator's contention.
At that point, since you have your proposal prepared, you
have to match every one of the particulars that you have
acquired in an efficient way. This will empower you to unite
them and hence permit a privilege to apply for the group of
onlookers. Lead the things in a following request additionally
helps you to solve on the correct decision of the styles that you
might want to use for a specific part of the unique situation. Fit
out various regions with the different strategies until the best
frame is related with the meriting part of the written work. In
each piece or passage, you keep in touch with; you ought to mix
an unyielding subject sentence which will convey the possibility

of the entire part.
Taking after the point penalty is the place you compose
consecutive sentences which are intended to build the clarity of
the theme sentence furthermore give cases which elucidate
advance on the principle thought. Without overlooking the
changed steps, the primary writer has used to clarify his view
and to perform his or her prod, for your point, you have to also
continue making assessments about those focuses and
methodologies and after that written work them in an especially
direct and satisfying way which is incredibly easy to get it. You
ought to express the impacts which have been made by the
major techniques and hence this gives you the real feeling of
special the process and investigating the reason.
Ultimately, you need to guarantee that all you work is free
from any grammatical errors, ease, or any transitional
straightforwardness. This is ensured by editing the last
exposition that you have thought of a few circumstances till you
guarantee that no missteps of any sort are accessible in the
paper. The following is a short form of talk which I applied in
my past work and has a portion of the contentions took care of
as examined.

Research Study on Single Parenthood
Single parenting has become a lifestyle in our modern day
century. It is no longer a surprise finding a woman or a man
raising children as single parents. It is worth noting that the
most affected party is women whereby we have more female

single parents than men. Single parenting can be described to be
a condition in which either of the individuals involved in the
conception of a child takes full responsibility in bringing up the
child. It also occurs when either a man or a woman decide to
conceive and bring up a child outside marriage. Another
occurrence is through divorce whereby a couple splits and
responsibility is given to one of them to bring the children. Last
but not least, the death of one’s spouse is also another aspect
that leads to single parenthood (Mooney, Oliver, & Smith,
2009). According to studies, approximately half the total
number of children born today is most likely to spend their
childhood until 18 years old in homes with single parents
(Mooney, Oliver, & Smith, 2009). Furthermore, studies indicate
that children that grow up with both parents tend to perform
better or do better than those that are raised by single parents
(Mooney, Oliver, & Smith, 2009). The perspective presented by
the study is not to imply that children with single parents
perform poorly than those with two parents but rather to
indicate that the well-being of children raised by single parents
is subject to suffer. The emotional and the mental well-being of
a child are among the issues affected by single parenting and
therefore it becomes inevitable to analyze the effects of growing
up with a single parent on child psychology.
It is worth noting that in the current world, the death of a
spouse is no longer the apparent reason for children to grow up
in single parent homes but there are various factors. One-fourth
of the total number of children given birth to are from mothers
that are unmarried and whereby half of the number are from
teenage girls who are unmarried. However, chances are that
these women get married later. Studies also indicate that
approximately forty percent of children that are beneath the age
of eighteen risk to experience divorces from the marriage of
their parents while fifteen percent of them will experience the
separation twice (Mooney, Oliver, & Smith, 2009).
Furthermore, it is quite common for children these days to
experience a phantasmagoria of types of single parenthood,

remarriages, divorce, cohabitation, in addition to frequent
divorces (Mooney, Oliver, & Smith, 2009).
Children in the current world experience a lot of changes in the
structures of their families. Most of the children that engage in
bad habits such as drug abuse, criminal activities, joining cults
and many more come from single families; especially those that
lack a father figure and receive less attention such that they
seek attention from other places. Ten years ago, followed
perspective was that single parenting had no long-term failures
in regards to the growth of children. The concerns regarding
divorce were not considered or rather perceived to be of less
importance such that it involved a small period of heartache and
healing. However, studies done on preschoolers showed that
they were emotionally distressed; some of them exhibited
behavioral issues while others frequently disturbed their peers
after two years of their parents’ divorces (Mooney, Oliver, &
Smith, 2009). Nonetheless, boys exhibited significant
improvements and girls exhibited normal behavior; similar to
the girls whose parents were not divorced. Be that as it may,
recent findings show that children that come from homes with
single parents perform averagely or poorly when compared to
their counterparts. Furthermore, most children that drop out
from school, those that are considered born outside marriage
and those that find it difficult maintaining their sources of
income are brought up by single parents (Mooney, Oliver, &
Smith, 2009).
However, it is important to note that reports from such findings
tend to be misinterpreted with the bias being that a family with
both parents will result in proper growth for their children when
compared t single parents. In other words, it is not actual that
children raised by single parents will turn out bad while those
that have both parents will turn out well. There are numerous
cases of children from single parents that do exemplary well
than those with two parents. The point of emphasis is that
children that grow in single parent homes have high risk to
experience suffering in regards to their well-being (Mooney,

Oliver, & Smith, 2009).
The effects of growing up with a single parent on child
psychology
According to a study done by Uchenna on the impact of single
parenting in the psychological and academic prowess in
children, finding showed that children from families with both
parents benefited in both psychological and academic aspects
when compared to those with single parents (Azuka - Obieke,
2013). The reason is that families with both parents provide a
conducive environment for growth. Also, the findings showed
that despite of a lot of children from single homes have become
successful in their development, most children from homes with
single parents do not always reach their outmost potential as a
result of limited resources. According to the scholar, it is
important for school instructors, educational psychologists,
school administrators, and counselors to be aware of the factors
that impact the well-being of children that come from homes
with single parents (Azuka - Obieke, 2013). By having this
knowledge, it becomes easier to comprehend the attitudes and
the behaviors of the children under their care. Furthermore, the
parties should try and give support to the single parents in the
possible way they can to ensure that children receive the
psychological attention that they require without feeling
limited. A good example is a school counselor collaborating
with a parent in evaluating and developing the behavior of a
child such that he or she turns out to be better adults (Azuka -
Obieke, 2013).
Several studies on the psychological and physical well-being of
children from homes with single parents have been conducted
by various psychologists, educationists, scholars and also
counselors over the past few years. The studies have mostly put
emphasis on teenagers brought up by single parents that are
female (Azuka - Obieke, 2013). According to empirical studies,
children from homes that are intact tend to receive all-round
care in addition to being adequately socialized as both parents
play equal roles in developing their children which later

becomes significant when they transition into adulthood.
However, children from homes with single parents are at risk of
suffering from denial of some rights which in return affects
their psychosocial development. Furthermore, children from
homes that are broken tend to exhibit poor performance in
addition to antisocial tendencies (Azuka - Obieke, 2013).
It is worth noting that the adolescent period tends to be a
crucial stage in the development of an individual. It is a stage
that most teenagers struggle to accept themselves for who they
are and also identifying their places in the society. They tend to
search for places to fit in such that they are able to express
themselves. Therefore, if a parent exhibits any laxity, chances
are that the child will develop noxious behavior. It is often said
that Charity begins at home and therefore adequate foundation
is required for the well-being of a child. Parents have the sole
responsibility of ensuring that their children develop adequately
in the psychological, academic, social and moral aspects (Azuka
- Obieke, 2013).
Single parents tend to face twice the responsibilities in regards
to time, finances and also attention. It, therefore, becomes
difficult for them to fully take into consideration the
psychological well-being of their children. At most times,
children from homes with single parents are perceived to be
hyperactive, aggressive, emotionally needy and also anxious.
Some even become confused on their gender roles in the society
especially children from families that lack a fatherly figure.
Furthermore, they tend to be easily distractible when compared
to children from families with both parents (Azuka - Obieke,
2013).
The psychological well-being of children is relevant when it
comes to their growth such that children that are brought up in
conducive environments tend to adjust well in the society.
However, those that feel pressurized in regards to their mental
well-being tend to have problems in adjusting in the day to day
activities in the society. For children raised by single parents
and also from remarried families, there tend to be psychological

problems that affect their individual progress when compared to
those with both parents. According to studies, teenagers whose
parents had divorced when they were seven to eight years old
underwent therapy before they reached the adolescent stage
while those from families with both parents, only ten percent
received therapy (Bogenschneider, 2014). Furthermore, the
youth that were between the ages of eighteen and twenty two
were at high risk of experiencing intense emotional distress as a
result of the breakdown of their families; with the range being
from birth to sixteen years (Bogenschneider, 2014).
Most of the psychological issues result in bad conducts
whereby children begin engaging in delinquent behavior and
engage in alcohol and other forms of drugs. Most of them
engage in such behavior as a way of getting attention from their
parents or in the need for a place where they could place their
solitude. It is important to note that most of the teenagers that
engage in such behavior lack father figures in their lives
(Bogenschneider, 2014).
Another psychological issue is on the relationship
found between parents from single homes and their children.
Studies indicate that children raised by both parents feel that
they are cared for and hence feel closer to their parents
(Bogenschneider, 2014). The same case applies to children
raised by single parents whereby in most cases, those raised by
their mothers feel closer to them while only half of the
population feel close to their fathers. One significant outcome
in regards to children whose parents are divorced is the creation
of a stable relationship despite the separation such that all
parties play part in being there for each other. However, studies
show that children from broken homes lack a significant bond
with their parents due to the emotional vacuum created by the
divorce when compared to children with both parents. Some of
them project aggression and negative attitudes to one of the
parents as a way of hiding their pain (Bogenschneider, 2014).
Conclusion
As stated earlier, the emotional and the mental well-being

of a child are among the issues affected by single parenting and
therefore it becomes inevitable to analyze the effects of growing
up with a single parent on child psychology. Single parenting
has become quite common in our current world and is associated
with various factors rather than just the death of a spouse. From
the above analysis, it is quite evident that children from homes
with single parents are at high risk of experiencing challenges
in their psychological well-being. It, therefore, becomes
important, especially, for education institutions to identify these
aspects to ensure that the well-being of children from single
parents is ensured.

crucial stage in the development
of an individual. It is a stage that most teenagers struggle to
accept themselves for who they are
and also identifying their places in the society. They tend to
search for places to fit in such that
they are able to express themselves. Therefore, if a parent
exhibits any laxity, chances are that
the child will develop noxious behavior. It is often said that
Charity begins at home and therefore
adequate foundation is required for the well-being of a child.
Parents have the sole responsibility
of ensuring that their children develop adequately in the
psychological, academic, social and
moral aspects (Azuka - Obieke, 2013).

they could place their solitude. It is important to note that most
of the teenagers that engage in

such behavior lack father figures in their lives (Bogenschneider,
2014).
Another psychological issue is on the relationship found
between parents from single homes
and their children. Studies indicate that children raised by both
parents feel that they are cared
for and hence feel closer to their parents (Bogenschneider,
2014). The same case applies to
children raised by single parents whereby in most cases, those
raised by their mothers feel closer
to them while only half of the population feel close to their
fathers. One significant outcome in
regards to children whose parents are divorced is the creation of
a stable relationship despite the
separation such that all parties play part in being there for each
other. However, studies show that
children from broken homes lack a significant bond with their
parents due to the emotional
vacuum created by the divorce when compared to children with
both parents. Some of them
project aggression and negative attitudes to one of the parents
as a way of hiding their pain

being of children from single parents is ensured.
