Divorce and Ambition


            
            
            
             Divorce has become the trend for many parents in today's society. If you have marital problems just get divorced; why not it has become so easy to do it? Research is done on children of young ages, and the impact that it has on them, but what about the older children? Sometimes people forget that college students do have feelings towards what has gone on in their past. These problems can sometimes lead to learning disabilities, and maybe even depression that may not show up on the charts until they are stressed in college. Among adolescents, several behavioral changes have been observed as a result of divorce/separation trauma in the home. "A sudden lack of confidence in ability to perform previously mastered tasks and the presence of feelings of instability leading to withdrawal from classroom activities are common."(Phillips, and Asbury, 1993) The study compared subjects whose natural parents were divorced or separated with subjects whose natural parents were living together. "Schools and families are the main institutions for generating human capital. In a family, human capital takes the form of parent's knowledge and educational achievement. Children's educational outcomes are strongly affected by parents human capital." (Furr, 1998) The study compared students entrance exams of divorced families versus those with intact families. " Although a troubled child's behavior and disorders often do get worse when the parents divorce, a child's ongoing problems are .
             almost never caused by these changes in the family." (Nielsen, 1999) This study compared college-aged students with divorced parents to those with intact families; they were testing which ones were better off the ones with divorced families or the ones with intact families.
             Depending on the age of the child when their parents get divorced many become rebellious, depressed, and can develop problems at school. The purpose of my study is to determine the amount of ambition a college student has.
