“But we also need families to raise our children.
We need fathers to realize that responsibility does not end at conception. We
need them to realize that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a
child – it’s the courage to raise one.”
Obama , through out
this speech talks about the struggles kids go through having a single
parents, especially a father .How it affects things such as crime rate, and learning capabilities, as well as the emotional toll it takes on a family. This particular passage is the definition of a true father. Many
men (and women) out there believe that if they simply conceive a child they are
in fact a parent, when this is false. Obama states that if you cannot raise the child you conceive
, you are nothing but a boy,
I think this
particular passage and speech was important because Obama talked about what
most governments don’t want to talk about , single parents. Although I have the
blessing of having my children's father in my life, many do not. The single
parent homes affect so much; crime rates, welfare, the need for scholarships.
Single family homes have a huge impact on the budget. Yet there are so many of them, they are affected children, in turn society, and our nation as a whole.
