Explain in a well substantiated paragraph two reasons why children should not be forced to choose sides in a divorce situation

The parents’ divorce, leaves a psychological impact to the children. Children bringing the memories will be hurt that they (children) will tend to suppress or repress what they feel. Suppressing is when the child tries to forget the memories with effort while repression is the brain itself forgets them by default. The child might also show projection which is giving his feelings to other people. Either he may become a bully or the victim (in school for example).

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
