Dan in real life

1. I do think that it is fairly important to write about what you know. Dan however appears to not be the greatest parent at certain times in the movie. In a way it is actually quite ironic. But in another way, he is in the perfect position to know a lot about parenting because he his a single parent.
2. There could be a lot said to parents of teenagers. Every teenager is different, so the advice has to be general and parents would be able to tailor it to their own specific situation. The first thing that I would tell parents would be to listen to your teenager. Hear them out. The second thing that I would tell them would be when you as a parent are wrong, admit it. Don't continue like you're completly right. Kids just truly hate that. For the thrid piece of advice that I would give some parents of teenagers would be that most kids do not do drugs. Do not always assume that that is what they are out doing. You can think that in the back of your mind, but don't let the kids know that you are thinking that, because it gets very annoying if they are not doing drugs.

3. Yes, I would absolutly love to write for a newspaper. I believe that I would be great on a few things. The first of which possibly being a writer or correspondent on politics. Another thing that I believe that I would be able to do great at would be being an aviation or airline industry analyst or correspondent. The only other thing that I can think of being for a newspaper would be a business analyst. I enjoy all of these things and I also believe that I have sufficent knowlage of all of these industries to beable to be a successful writer about all of them.

4. Yes I strongly believe that is what he is wanting his childreen to do in the matter. He remindes me a lot of a person named Barrak.  He tells the business world not to give the bosses large sums of money as a bonus when the company is failing. In the same moment, half of the government working force gets a large sum of money as a bonus. That makes sense? Many people hate Obama for being so hypacrytical... This seems to be the same thing with Dan's childreen. This phylosophy just simply does not work at all. It is not fair at all because he is being a hypocrit.

5.  I think that it is cool for someone to date if they like the other person. Age should not really factor into things. Unless they are dating with the entention of marrying the other person then they should atleast be out of college or wait a few years after getting out of high school because then you are not really sure of what the real world is truly like. You may have an idea but you never really know what something is like until you really experience it. For the question about thongs; no clue.
