...ROLE OF PLAY IN CHLD DEVELOPMENT Play is a very important aspect in children. This is where children’s lives are supported and promoted by plays. Children, families and teachers all over the world are observed one consistent feature of childhood. This is creative play is a central activity in the lives of healthy children. Play helps children weave together all the elements of life as they experience it. It helps them to digest life and make it their own. It is an outlet for the fullness of their creativity and it is an absolutely critical part of their childhood. With creative play children blossom and flourish. Without it, they suffer a serious decline. The demise of play will certainly have serious consequences for children and for the future of childhood itself. Parents, teachers and mental health professionals alike, are expressing concern about children who do not play. Some seem blocked and unable to play. Others long to play, but policies and practices at home and in school have driven open ended, self directed play out of their lives. Children no longer have the freedom to explore wood and fields and find their own special places. Informal neighbourhood games are a thing of the past as children are headed into athletic leagues at increasingly younger ages. Increasingly children find themselves in school settings which feature scripted teachings, computerised learning and standardised assessment. Physical education and recess are being eliminated. New schools are...

...Children will benefit from structured and creative play. The issue here is the balance between structured and creative play that needs to be considered. Neither one nor the other is better, both are fundamental to a child's development. Creative play is just as important as structured play. This importance comes from the experience creative play allows. When allowed to play creatively, children learn to express themselves, become independent thinkers, and interact with peers. This encourages problem solving, multi tasking, artistic expression and the ability to think outside of the box. All these qualities are important for children to learn. What creative play imparts on children needs to be paired with the skills they learn from structured...

...What Role Does York Play in Richard II? Shakespeare introduces York as a very outspoken character due to his honest opinion he portrays to his brother Gaunt on line 24 of Act 1 scene 1; “Where doth the world thrust forth a vanity- so it be new there’s no respect how vile- that is not quickly buzz’d into his ears?” From this we can tell that York is not afraid of what people think of him speaking about Richard’s selfishness, he is clearly a character that notices and preaches mistakes not matter who they are. This implies that Shakespeare has attempted to make him come across as a truthful figure. Previously on line 17, York portrays sense of his braveness by talking negatively about his king stating that important matters or asking’s are “stopp’d with other flattering sounds, as praises of whose taste the wise are fond” suggesting that Richard has been so overwhelmed by his ‘flatterers’ that he won’t listen to advise or his people’s needs which shows his selfish attitude and big ego. This conveys to the audience York’s observance of his Kings mistakes, showing his loyalty and care towards his country. After Richard’s poor decision on taking Gaunt's money to provide for his army in battle against Ireland, York confronts Richard to advise him on doing otherwise. He infuriates Richard by asking him rhetorical questions such as “how long shall tender duty make me suffer wrong?” expressing is dislike towards Richards decision, attempting to get him realise his mistake. This reveals...

...Why does gender create conflict? There has been an issue between the genders since the beginning of time. Even though the conflict has lessened due to change over time, it continues to make an impact in today’s society. In Susan Glaspell’s play Trifles, the central conflict is derived from sexist gender roles. The central conflict is driven from gender issues such as the different task placed on the genders, and how they treat each other; Glaspell conveys her message with the use of multiple literary elements such as symbolism, flashback, and dramatic irony. First of all, the daily tasks that the men and women uphold drive the central conflict between the genders. The men viewed the women as just housekeepers. For example, “Dirty towels! Not...

...Hi Cortney, I loved reading your post. I do know if you have noticed the role that Latinas play in Hollywood. Latinas have been stereotyped in TV shows, movies and plays as maids, housekeepers, nannies or immigrants. One clear example is Lupe Ontiveros, the nannie of the 80’s classic film named The Goonies. The actress Lupe Ontiveros, mentioned on the article “Lupe Ontiveros Played A Maid 150 Times, Wanted To Break Free Of The Stereotype (VIDEO)” that she had played the role of maid for one hundred fifty times and she wanted to break that stereotype (Benedetti, 2013). A more contemporary example is Jennifer Lopez on her role of maid in Maid in Manhattan. I am glad that this stereotype is decreasing because Latinas are having the opportunity...

They ran soup kitchens, took care of the children, rallied the picket line, and used themselves as a shield to protect the men.

...-As the young Uchiha looked around, he saw that he was surrounded and gave up, or as it seemed. He then threw his katana in the East direction, and let all of the clones stab him with their blades. After this happening, the clone would smirk as it's face would morph and distort into snakes and slither, falling to the Earth as this happened, the clons probably finally noticing the young Uchiha had a clone fighting this entire time. The real Mikamo was hidden underground, still focusing his energy. As he felt the thunk of the blade of his weapon hit the Earth, he sighed. 'Well, guess my clone wasn't enough...Oh well, time for some real fun, oh and let's not forget my snake..' he said as he performed a few handsigns, signaling the snakes mind to know to move from the gecko, as it slithered away, dirt from above the earth crumpled down onto him and into his hair. 'Oh bother,' he said in a Poo bear style,' looks like that fat gecko landed. And I hope he knows he's not the only one with tricks up his sleeve..' he said as he thrusted his arm upward, his hand pushing through the earth. Knowing that it would be hardly visible, he clawed the earth apart, digging himself out. He was wearing the same attire as the clone from before, except it was smeared with grime from underground, and his katana had been upgraded several times from the clones. As his head was able to reach through the earth, he clawed harder and eventually was able to dig himself out. He stood tall, looking at the three...

...Women played both decisive and important roles in the Russian Revolution. The February Revolution began in Petrograd on International Women’s Day, February 23rd 1917, when thousands of women took to the streets demanding bread and increased rations for soldiers’ families. There is, however, disagreement as to whether the women-led demonstrations were spontaneous, or whether they were a result of conscious political action. This view tends to downplay the role of women in the Revolution, painting them as being impulsive and politically backward. The Women’s Day demonstrations are often referred to as the only real example of women’s involvement in the Revolution but in the months that led up to the October Revolution groups of both working class...
