Social Relationships Political Forces
1,236 words... indeed, a mythology about childhood. On the one hand, children are seen to possess a natural, spontaneous creativity, which is somehow released by the machine; while on the other, children are seen as vulnerable, innocent and in need of protection. Ultimately, both positions are symptomatic of the chronic sentimentality with which our society views children - of the very limited and limiting ways in which we construct the meaning of childhood, and thereby constrain the lives of children.

Civil Rights Movement In Education
974 wordsThe Civil Rights movement, during the 1960 s and 1970 s, created many changes for both American society and its schools. The transformations were the result of such movements as Bilingual Education, womens rights activity, and the passing of the Public Law 94 - 142 legislation. The incorporation of these new laws and ideas into society all came with their own consequences. Each of them helped, in some way, to lessen the inequality of minority groups in America, like students whose primary langua...

Takes Care Taking Care
754 wordsI am writing to you in response to the essay that appeared in the first issue of Ms in 1971 entitled I Want a Wife by Judy Brady. I believe that the author of this essay does exaggerate the position a wife holds in the home, but not too greatly. This was written in 1971, when Im sure a wifes position was much more subservient than it is today. But a lot of the claims she makes still hold true in todays society. A wife to Mrs. Brady is someone who does basically everything, or in her words takes ...

Lewis Life And Influence In Alice Wonderland
1,106 wordsOf all of Lewis Carroll's works, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has a unique standing in the category of whimsical, nonsense literature. Much has been written about how this novel contrasts with the vast amount of strict, extremely moralistic childrens literature of the Victorian time Lewis Carroll lived in. Yet, as odd as this novel appears in relation to the other Victorian childrens stories, this short novel is odder because it was written by an extremely upright, ultra conservative man; a ...

Abusive Parents Child Abuse
790 wordsParenting is not instinctive. If it were, everyone who had a child would be a good parent. Consequently, child abuse is a rising phenomenon in our society. Though no single factor has been identified as the cause of child maltreatment, it appears to be influenced by parents histories, psychological resources, and economic status. Parenting must be learned. While this is often done through experience, education courses for individuals prior to their becoming parents, and close evaluation of quest...

Diversity Every Day Teach Our Children Pooh
1,030 wordsIn comparing childrens programs for their use of cultural diversity I watched several segments of Rugrats, Winnie the Pooh, and Out of the Box. The animated programs, Rugrats and Winnie the Pooh, dealt with diversity in much the same way. Out of the Box, however, was put together on a different level. The Rugrats is a delightful cartoon about a group of adventurous babies that are always getting into one thing or the other. The babys personalities are all quite different and ones weakness is off...
