Question

What are some of the major challenges that parents face from an evolutionary perspective? How does the idea value measures of parents and children in different stages of life influence the occurrence of parenticide or filicide?

Answer 1

some of the major challenges faced by the parents from an evolutionary perspective are:

• Students today have been more involved in alcohol. According to some of the estimates, there are a number of teens getting involved in excess drinking or binge drinking habits as a result of socialisation Nd to develop a feeling of fitting in.
• Most of the children or teens today could be called to be sleep deprived. These children, as a result of sleep deprivation, have increased irritability and mood disorders. The amount of time the children spend in homework or other academic activities adds to a pressure, which ultimately results in sleep deprivation.
• The increase in competition today and the increase in the pressure to succeed had become many folds compared to what it was earlier. In our times, grades did not pose such huge psychological impacts on the students, but today, children with slightly lower grades tend to show high amount of negative self image and tend to get depressed.
• The show biz has created this image of beautiful that includes a 6 packs or mutiple packs for guys and a zero image for girls, which pushes them further into a negative self image, making the children lower into their self esteem.
• Added importance of peers in the teen ages.

Today, the children in the concrete operational stages of their life, who are highly under the influence of their friends and under the influence of their emotions, which have not been able to be controlled yet, leads to an increased aggression. Children today get highly aggravated and are not able to control their anger. Children with low self concept, further get dragged into this aggression and ultimately, kill their parents out of frustration.
