...that this topic is very easy. In connection to easy, it is very short. Now the problem comes up, how I will balance my thoughts into wording in a ten pages essay? It is hard for us to expand the issue of these laconic ideas that build my theme. On the day that this essay project introduced to us, professor said that he asked other seminarian especially the higher year, and they said that the ten pages essay is not enough for them. Yes, for them, but for us, a beginner in the turf of philosophy, it is very difficult to us to do this work and just say 'job well done'. This article of essay project will measure are transcendental ability, to go beyond our limit. Moreover, I think this is lessons that I will learn from this work. We are learning our subject and in the same time, we are exceeding our potentials and widening our mind in the society or community we belong. While I am thinking on how to set up my theme into organized details, brain storming and concept mapping pop in the lead. In addition, I found out that my topic was full of vast ideas. Thinking that my topic was so easy, yes it is so easy but full of thoughts. For me enable to swim this wide ocean of ideas, I need to configure my thoughts and get the pearl of the orient of each subject matter that are included here.

...Childhood Review Questions Please answer the following questions as fully as you: 1. Explain what is meant by ‘childhood is a social construction’ This means that childhood is a stage of life that we have attached certain labels to. These labels include the view that children are dependent on adults to survive and the fact that children have less abilities to work than adults. It is also the view that a child's role in society and the rules that they are meant to follow are created and learnt by socialization. 2. Explain what is meant by the term ‘loss of childhood’ The term loss of childhood means that childhood is disappearing which means that children and adults are becoming more and more similar. This is due to way that children now act. For example, in Britain, more children are having sex at a younger ages which is proved by the statistic that Britain has the most teenage pregnancies. Children also have a greater access to the adult world through things such as the internet and television which make it exceptionally easy for children to access adult content. This view is supported by Postman who said that ‘childhood is disappearing at a dazzling speed’ 3. Suggest two reasons why childhood is a relatively modern invention. One reasons that childhood is a relatively modern invention is that we know, through the research done by Philippe Aries, that childhood did not exist past physical dependency in the middle ages. This is a reason because in todays society,...

...The biggest controversy of diagnosis has been on bipolar disorder. There has been a 4,000% increase in children diagnosed with bipolar disorder. There are kids being diagnosed everyday even though we do not yet fully understand the symptoms. Doctors are treating these symptoms with drugs they are not sure even work. It seems like if doctors can alleviate over 50% of the symptoms the drug is acceptable. Antipsychotics are now being prescribed to children. They are in direct result having a hard time controlling their actions and behaviors. There is no definitive test for any psychiatric illnesses. Dr. Bacon chooses the medicine before he knows the diagnosis. Getting the right treatment can take a long time. This is due to the number of drugs and the symptoms that may respond to the drugs. We have mood stabilizers and (A)-typical antipsychotics, just to name a few. It’s an experiment trying these medications on these children. Our other option is we must let them be symptomatic. It’s a gamble trying medications on children at such a young age. Upping medications may bring on other symptoms that did not previously exist. Many psychologists think it is impossible to diagnose bipolar disorder in children. All the debate and confusion has led to over diagnoses. Many children with bipolar disorder are being treated by physicians or family doctors who are not familiar with the disorder. The thoughtful and careful examination of the symptoms and thinking through the problem does not exist...

...Examine the effects of social change on the position of children (24 marks) The position of children has undergone significant change, this will be examined alongside with the effects in this essay. There are many reasons why the position of children has changed and I will be examining whether the impact is positive or negative. In modern society it is argued that childhood is a social construct, which is where the individual experiences things which have been created. In pre-industrialisation the child had a similar role to the adults which was economic, this was researched by Aries. He studied paintings which were created in pre-industrialisation, the problem with this is that it has been interpreted by him and the painter and therefore may present bias or inaccurate findings or only give a one sided view. The children were expected to work and therefore had no/little education and their socialisation is very different to the children in modern society. The position of today’s children is to go to school, enjoy being a child and be dependent on the adult’s this was not evident in pre-industrialisation. This is proven in Aries findings, this is because he found that they were like a smaller version of an adult, for example with the clothes they wore and their expectations to work. He concluded that childhood did not exist, however in today’s society childhood is a significant lifestage and is essential in the future of the social actor (person). Industrialisation saw the...

...Additional Support for Learning Assessment 1, Children have many basic needs ranging from things as simple as food and water to the need to feel safe and secure and to live within a loving home. Giving children a healthy balanced diet ensures that their body grows as it is supposed to and they can reach their developmental mile stones. It helps them to be able to concentrate and learn new things. Children need to be able to feel safe and secure were every they may be wither it be at home school or nursery this will help to give them the confidence to grow and become confident individuals as they enter adulthood. Feeling loved and happy is also very important to children as this too will help to boost their self-esteem and having good role models to help mould them into responsible young adults comes in here. Theorist Maslow believes that everyone’s most basic needs have to be met in order for them to progress through life starting with things such as food, water and shelter then moving up his hierarchy of needs to eventually reaching self-actualisation, another theorist who is Mia Kellmer Pringle says that there are four basic needs that need to be met for children from birth to ensure that they can grow and develop, these are 1, the need for love and security, 2, the need for new experiences, 3, the need for recognition and praise and 4, the need for responsibility she believes that if all children have this from birth then they have the opportunity to grow up and become...

...less of a need to have as many children because many things have changed since the war. The 1970s rise in lone motherhood was largely a consequence of increasing divorce rates. Many of the traditional ideas on how children should be made and brought up have changed or evolved into new concepts that might have been a taboos or stigmatised in the 70s. The reason for and the result of these patterns range widely. Infant mortality rate lowered a lot of births in the UK because more births were successful and more children were surviving to childhood and adulthood. This caused more parents to have less children so they can focus their love and attention on the children they have. When the IMR was high in the UK, the parent would have many children for work purpose and they would not care if the one child died because they could just replace that one. Children were used for mostly work and to get money, but since the act that stopped children working under a age, children were then becoming the child centre of the home, the parents would see their child more and the child would then need the mother or father to help the when they are at home, this lead to lower IMR. Childbearing is having children and one of the greatest changes is the growing rate of children being born outside of marriage. Over four in ten children are now born outside of marriage, that is five time more than it was in 1970. The reason for this, is the fact that we are now living in a secularisation society...

...plays its part. Previously in different periods there wasn’t a consistent difference between adults and children. However, now there is with clear differences and distinctions between the two. Childhood found its place in society after the pre-industrial society with families living in an extended environment. With extended families a lot of members it doesn’t create the difference between childhood and adulthood. As item A states ‘’there was little distinction between children and adults’’ in the past. Aries (1960) suggested that ‘the idea of childhood did not exist’. After Aries studied from previous art pieces and diaries from the time period he claimed that children that once children had not passed the dependency of infancy they were treated as ‘mini adults’. With labelling children as mini adults it implied that they held the same: rights, duties and skills as adults had. Aries argued the fact that children are not or should not be seen no different to adults from the way they act in society. He also proposed that childhood began to emerge from the 13th century and this was partly due to the rise in education and the individuality children then had compared to adults. Clothing is also a major contributor between the defined line against children and adults. There was no real significant difference between clothing and how it was different between adults and children however it changed in the 17th century between different social classes. The distinction became more prone...

...Childhood Look ‘Childhood Obesity now versus the years past’ Children in today’s society have begun to accept a new image in themselves that was not accepted in years past. Studies have proven that nearly 12.5 million children in the United States are considered to be obese. Since the 1980’s, the number of overweight and obese children has nearly tripled increasing from 6.5 percent to almost 19.6 percent. Obesity is creating a new look, a new image, and a new epidemic for America. DEFINITION: Excess of Body Fat When a child’s weight exceeds over the normal or average weight for their age and height, the child will be considered overweight, or obese if the number exceeds off the charts. Most physicians base their dictations off of BMI, which is the body mass index. The body mass index is based off of the child’s age and height, and the child should fall between the average weights to be considered healthy. [pic][pic] CAUSES: Childhood obesity can be caused from many different biological factors, sedentary lifestyles, or physical and emotional causes. American children have been taught, that excessive weight gain is accepted, and tolerable even if it negatively affects their health. A main contributing biological factor includes a gene that forces the body to store weight at a faster and easier rate than a child with a normal gene. Another predicament that is now accepted is a sedentary lifestyle. Eating habits of children in today’s society, are much worse...

...parents find it difficult to acknowledge that their children are overweight or obese. Childhood obesity is becoming a growing epidemic in the United States; according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of obesity among children has more than doubled over the past 20 years, generating numerous physical, social and psychological problems for the children. "Obesity is a condition resulting from excessive storage of fat in the body. Obesity has been defined as a weight more than 20% above what is considered normal according to standard age, height, and weight tables, or by a complex formula known as the body mass index." Dictionary.com, LLC, (2009). The causes of childhood obesity are multiple and the consequences of this growing epidemic endanger the child's well-being. Happily, childhood obesity can be treated; physical activity, diet management, and behavior modification can bring an obese child to its normal body weight, returning them their physical and psychological health. What are the differences from THEN to NOW? When I say THEN, I am referring to a much simpler time; the time around the 1950’s. At that time children walked to school while now they usually ride a bus or are driven by a parent. Then family meals were eaten at a table while these days’ meals are most often fast food, eaten in cars on the way from one place or activity to another. Back then portion sizes were smaller while now they are super-sized. In the 50’s physical environments...

...Denesha Tatum English 101 July 13, 2012 Rough Draft When you think about the upbringing of children today and years ago you can see a huge difference. There is a debate on whether the behavior of children of the 90’s has gotten worse compared to the children of the 70’s. You can see the difference in Education, music, clothing, technology, and even education. The children of the 90’s are being raised by children of the 70’s most of who experienced punishment for wrong doings, boundaries set by parents, and discipline in general. But now parents have to live in fear because of all of the laws that restrict them from raising their children the way their parents raised them. The children in the 70’s were raised in a one income family which meant it was always a parent home to monitor the house and the children. There was a low tolerance for disrespect in a household at that time. Children back then were taught to show respect to their elders no matter what the situation was. Children back then were taught by tradition, showed moral, and were way more motivated than the children now. Today children are more defiant. But, due to technology and social media has allowed children to be much more defiant and rebellious towards parents. But in time today children don’t have both parents at home so in which case it falls all on one parent to make money and still provide for their child while still trying to raise them the way they have been raised...

... we \textit{also} help to mitigate the unfair advantage gained from private school children. Further, if our assumption holds, then I argue in agreement with Swift (2004a p20) that an individual parent is morally obligated to help mitigate this educational injustice. I will now argue that this positive influence from our children is deserved more by poor children as opposed to other well off children. Suppose we are a parent who is tasked with making the decision whether to go private, essentially how we should distribute this positive influence. Consider two worlds, one where we went private and one where we did not. In the first world, it can be thought that we are essentially taking a potential benefit given to poorer children and instead giving it to richer children, vice versa in the second world. Now are these choices morally equivalent in both cases? I think this unlikely, instead it seems reasonable to think that our act in the first world is comparatively unfair. This seems more evident when we note that richer children in private schools are already being complicit with an act of injustice that hurts the poorer children. Perhaps believe that neither student has any right to our children's influence, and...

...Child obesity is more common now than it has ever been. Child obesity is a health issue which concerns children who are above a normal healthy weight. Obesity is defined as having too much excess body fat and is calculated by Body Mass Index (BMI), it is a tool to measure a person’s body mass. Child obesity can affect a child’s physical health, social, and emotional well-being. Obesity can also cause poor level of academic performance. Obesity does not happen overnight; it happens over time and is how someone eats. Child obesity is caused by technology, parenting styles, and lack of physical activity. Child obesity has become a big problem in the 1970’s, since then it has tripled. Doctors are concerned with children nowadays due to the growth...

...Psychology Wiki. This page explains the family life cycle. The family is defined as “a basic social unit consisting of parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together or not.” (Dictionary.com). It is said that, next to God, family is the most important thing in this life. In Erik and Elena’s Weblog they posted that “the family is the bedrock of society and can be proven by the fact that all over the world every society is structured by the same pattern. A man and woman marry and form a family. This process is repeated multiple times making multiple families which form villages, regions, and eventually countries. When several countries come together they form a continent and all of the continents make up the world.” For the society to develop, the family goes through eight stages. These stages are known as the Family Life Cycle. The first stage is known as the Family of origin experiences stage. During this stages the children learns how to maintain relationships with not only their parents but also with their siblings and peers. They do this by learning to accept the differences brought about by each other. They must learn to accept others as they are because everyone is created differently. They must also learn to be obedient to parents so as to have a smooth flowing relationship and avoid disputes. Children also obtain an education to help them in life during this...
