Essays on Childhood

The nature versus nurture debate has been raging for decades and even today, it still elicits mixed reactions from different people. This concept presents the cosmic conflict between ethics and environmental surroundings and influences as the essential aspects that govern and determine a person’s behavioral conduct. One side proposes that at birth, the brain is a clean slate that is open to a great deal of influences, and it is these surrounding influences that govern a person’s behavioral traits. The contrasting side proposes that a person’s behavioral capabilities are encoded in the person’s DNA. This ...

Because of the circumstances of my childhood, and the poverty in which I grew up, I was not afforded the chance to get a good early start on my education. In the 1990s, when civil war began to ravage my home country of Sierra Leone, my family and I fled to neighboring Guinea in order to escape the fighting. We were not given much in the refugee camp in which we stayed; conditions were harsh, and we were much more focused on getting food and water than pursuing my education. My parents lost everything because of our flight from ...

The question on the social system of humans depends on several factors. These factors include: religion, evolution, necessity and environment. Different religions have different views on how humans are supposed to associate with one another, for instance Christianity advocates for monogamous relationships while Islamic religion encourages polygamous relations. This means that those prescribe to a given religious view tend to behavior to the prescribed social behavior, it therefore cannot be said with certainty at this point that humans are monogamous or polygamous.

The social behavior of humans cannot be compared to that of other species since humans have a power of ...

Abstract

In this essay, the four main points in which Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection is based on are presented and explained: variation, inheritance, high rate of population growth and differential of survival and reproduction.

After this, and regarding the colleague’s previous answer about the topic, a relation is established between the factors that the colleague stated, being that a population’s distribution, density and abundance are intimately related to the four main points discussed earlier, of variation, inheritance, high rate of population growth and differential of survival and reproduction, helping one another to be able to happen ...

There are many instances in my life wherein I ask myself the question “How did I live?” I cannot remember my childhood too much. All I can remember is that I suddenly became a conscious being—able to see, hear, feel, and basically observe everything in my surrounding. I grew up as a toddler, then a few years later, as a child. Of course I had a lot of realizations when I was a child. Childhood, for me, is the age of enlightenment. I do not know what childhood is for others or how they see or treasure it, ...

Introduction

Theories by definition are guesses and conjunctures about a particular idea and the means to prove its validity, facts are presented to support the theory through research and practical applications. At certain point theories becomes the subject of debate when the underlying principles of the theory are challenged due to the weak spots and holes found in its context. Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory is not so different from the rest of other theories that are in question due to their limitations. Psychoanalytic theory was built upon the perception that people exerts resistance when being ...

What is the Relationship Between Personality and Criminal Justice?

The search for criminal personality has piqued the curiosities and interests of both academics and the general public (Caspi et al., 1994). There has often been an allusion to the relationship between personality and criminal behavior. After all, it is normal, regular people who commit crimes like child molestation, murder, or rape (Bartol & Bartol, 2010). For decades, criminologists have been heatedly arguing about the relevance of personality within the study of criminal justice, despite the fact the personality theories have become enduringly popular (Brown, 2006). This paper will begin by describing what personality is and personality developmental psychology. Next, ...

Kaufman’s first two sentences capture the attention of the reader since they give a shallow depth of the significant title the author has used. After reading the title of a book the first statements of the piece should reflect the motive of the author in creating the book. In this case the author achieved this objective and it captured my attention to get to read the whole piece.

In the title of the book by Kaufman, the highlighting of Hector and Achilles was significant in this piece (Rosa & Eschholz, 103). The author of the book and hector were ...

Psychopathy or sociopathy as it is called at times, is a type of personality disorder, clinically regarded as ‘Antisocial Personality Disorder’ (APD). Although a big percentage of incarcerated convicts may be described as suffering from APD, only about one-fourth of them could be diagnosed for psychopathy. Also only a small percentage of these psychopaths are violent offenders. Exhibition of superficial charm and persistent lying are the two common traits of psychopaths. The emotional deficit of psychopaths limits them to experience only a narrow range of emotions. Psychopaths are very skilled in projecting themselves in good light and can beat ...

Music has always played a very significant role in people’s culture and development. Since ancient times it was the way of sending hidden messages and reaching the desirable audience, sometimes even to make people do something. For instance, one can easily observe that his/her mood changes greatly when listening to certain song or track. Moreover, it is not a secret anymore that certain type of music is used in commercials in order to make listeners buy certain products or services. Basically, music is one more way of ...

“Growth” and “development” are not the same. Growth means specific observable physical changes taking place in a child throughout most of his life due to increase in both the quantity and size of the existing body cells. These include increase in height, weight, head circumference, body shape, and shoe size as well as the length of the arms & legs. Development, on the other hand, is progressively evolutionary process of advancement from simplicity to complexity, along a defined path, marked by increased intelligence, knowledge, behavior and skill-sets. The growth and development cycle gauges the actual developmental progress using two ...

Introduction

Learning is a lifelong process. It usually starts the moment our sense starts to work that is actually what humans are by nature. According to Wardle (2008), all humans are born to play. However differences come when factors such as the type of play and how an individual play are already being considered. Nevertheless, it does not change the fact that humans, not only toddlers could play. This paper will focus on the importance that playing plays on the development of a child. Each argument in this paper will be backed up with current literatures and evidences that have ...

The debate on which between traditional education and home schooling is better is one that has been existent for as long as these two systems have been in place, and it does not seem about to end soon. There are a number of advantages to homeschooling and traditional education; however one seems to outweigh the other in some way. The bone of contention is whether the early years of childhood education should be done at home or in a school.

Traditional education can be defined as education of students that is done in a learning institution either in a ...

Theories concerned with how and why individuals become criminals have been circulating since the late nineteenth century and range from physiological reasons to issues concerned with the community and social problems. One such discussion point for the former is the impact of problems in the family environment as being the cause of offender behaviour in childhood, adolescence and beyond into adulthood. In practice, it becomes clear that these problems are a significant cause of delinquency and criminality, and whilst they may not be held entirely to account for the behaviour of the individual, their impact certainly ...

These opinions mainly stem from the influences of culture, religion, ethics, morality, and government laws.

Introduction

The development of a child involves a lot of things. As a responsible parent, the health of the child should be of utmost importance. There are various aspects of health, some of which are beyond the control of the parent while others are directly controlled by the parent. In this work, we consider such conditions as obesity and the parent’s responsibility in ensuring that the child develops without such conditions.

Obesity is one of the serious health concerns. Due to its rising occurrence in children, serious and urgent ...

The time gap between the childhood of the parent and that of the child is significantly large. There is much that happened in between the child’s time and the parents childhood times. Likewise, there has been a change in the face of the world. Globalization has brought with it social change and technological changes too. Moreover, the term ‘world village’ has been invented due to the simplified mode of interaction throughout the world. These changes have percolated to the most basic institutional organ ‘the family.’ It is true that every adult who takes care of children have ...

Since the beginning of time, people have come up with many proposals and ideas in a bid to expose the true identity of Christianity as a religion. This implies, Jesus, the main man behind this religion, has received varied portrayals. It is interesting though how this portrayal has continued to change with time. This paper shall therefore involve a comparison of articles in order to explore how Jesus and Christianity has been presented since the high middle ages till today. The following are two excerpts for Hildegard’s Scivias: its mouth is gapping downwards in order to pull down ...

Q.1.Cross-cultural psychology is a branch of psychology that tries to explain how characteristics of certain people including their behaviors, beliefs, values and way of perceiving certain things affect our way of life or others in a certain community. According to Ethan (2010) in the article ‘The Americanization of Mental illness’, he argues that according to research, mental diseases and diversity located across cultures have changed with time and in different places. He also describes mental illness as involving the mind and the brain therefore; one has less control over it. In addition, he argues that, mental illness ...

According to Warder, Culture refers to the behavior and belief characteristics of a particular society, community or ethnic group. Culture matters to the extent that individuals living in different societies are likely to have differing experiences and more conspicuously, cultural matters to the extent that their perspectives provide a new insight into the psychological processes. The experiences we go through in life are facilitated by the culture we live in, because culture provides or is the environment which allows all these experiences to take place (Warder, 1996) Self concept refers to all understanding and knowledge of one self.

Introduction The desire for beauty led individuals into mutilating their bodies, a practice that was carried out by many different cultures of the world. Examples of some of the practices are plastic surgery, tattooing, circumcision, but none compares to the pain and effort that accompanied foot binding, which was practiced by the ancient Chinese. Dorothy, In Every day a lotus, indicates that the culture of foot binding began in China in the tenth century during the reign of the Tang dynasty. The culture lasted for a long period which is approximated to be around 1000 years. The Tang dynasty ...

Having mentioned the idea of visitors, represented by special people in my life, I have to admit that there are five visitors that visited my country. The first visitor that I ...

Summary

Born to immigrants in Boston, Gogol is brought-up in the suburbs of Boston though with a name he hates- Gogol. To this young man, what ...

Language acquisition denotes the procedure by which humans gain the ability to recognize and understand language, along with the ability to create and make use of words and sentences for the purpose of communication. Language acquisition is considered to be one of the exemplary human qualities, Philosophers in early societies were concerned in how humans gained the ability to comprehend and create language well ahead of experimental methods for trying those theories that were developed. However, for the major part they seemed to consider language acquisition as a division of man's ability to gain information and become skilled at ...

“The chosen topic is of Urban Childhood Education” Reasons for Choosing this Topic I selected this topic because I feel that Education plays a vital role in making a child successful and independent. For any child’s life, an aspect of early childhood education is very important as it goes against the concept of childhood slavery when a child cannot fulfill his childhood needs, and others exploit him by excessive work and as a tool to get work done. in spite of being given important academic education, he spends his childhood in slavery. In the critical years from birth ...

The idea that an adult can recapture child mind and live completely in the present without abstract thought about the act, and the future is a philosophical and psychological idea that holds little meaning to most people. The mindset of an adult is primarily influenced by experiences that the adult has gone through. It can, therefore, be argued that the current mindset of any given adult is a collection of different paradigms of mindsets that resulted as a result of experiences that the adult has gone through. The concept that an adult can adopt the child mind and live ...

Introduction

Childhood obesity is a contemporary problem of great relevance. Rates of the children diagnosed with this condition have increased considerably in the recent decades. Studies account that about 30% of children and adolescents in America are obese (Kiess 213). Obesity can easily be recognized; however, it cannot be treated easily. Nutritionists mainly associate obesity with unhealthy weight gain caused by aspects such as lack of exercise and poor eating habit. An abnormal weight gain trend indicates the likelihood of developing an obese condition. However, a child is not regarded obese until when he or she records a weight of ...

Throughout the novel Jane Eyre, the central character constantly grows in her understanding of misfortune and forgiveness. In the beginning, the young heroine suffers her fate but is unfalteringly vindictive towards those who are mean to her, like her aunt Reed, with little consideration of their fate. By the end, Jane offers forgiveness to her aunt in light of the patience exhibited by her childhood friend Helen Burns and her conversation with Rochester in the orchard. In Helen Burns, Jane experiences her first encounter with unquestioning understanding. Despite all the antagonism from her teacher and Mr. Brocklehurst, Helen focused ...

Children at different ages make decisions based on their level of reasoning as influenced by their level of mental development and culture. For instance, children in their early childhood reason differently from those in their middle childhood according to Berk (2014). Many theories have been developed to explain how children are bound to reason at different levels of development. One such theory is the Kohlberg’s moral development theory. According to Kohlberg, there are three levels of moral development each subdivided into two stages. The Kohlberg’s theory will be used to discuss the decision that Jane in this ...

Introduction

Obesity is caused by various unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as poor dieting and lack of physical activity, but obesity in children is a social problem because the behaviors of children are influenced by their social settings, including families, schools, and communities. Obesity needs to be prevented because it is associated with both immediate negative effects (e.g. risk factors for cardiovascular disorders, prediabetes, joint disorders, and social stigmatization) and long-term negative health effects (e.g. type 2 diabetes, stroke, cancer, osteoarthritis, heart disease, etc.) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). Childhood obesity is relevant to the sociology of health and ...

Apart from genetics, a child’s growth and development are influenced by family and the environment. The family, for example, determines the moral development of the child and language acquisition (Kagan, 1999, p. 164). The family also shapes the child’s gender identity and the child’s behavior in the future. Therefore, the parenting style adopted by parents is of great importance to growth and development. The environment, on the other hand, shapes a child’s gender development, language and cognitive ability. The interaction between teachers and children in the early years of life, for example, determines literacy development. ...

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Introduction

Erik Erikson’s’ views make significant contributions to the field of psychology; this is particularly in the understanding of personality development and related factors. An understanding of his own study of personal development creates an understanding of development of his psychology (Fleming, 2004). Most of Erikson’s psychology work became evident in the post-Freudian era. It was between the 1930s and 1950s; being one of Freud’s students, most of his work exhibit the influence of Freudian views and theories; this was mainly in the field of personality development. However, dissimilar from Freud’ ...

Introduction

The aim of this is to conduct a critical synthesis on a particular problem that has plagued the society for quite some time. This is the problem of childhood obesity. The most common reasoning that comes to mind when one witnesses an obese child is that these kids must be excessive eaters. In fact, every kid who exhibits obesity tendencies is often thought of as an excessive eater. Is this assumption justified? Is it true that obesity in kids is primarily due to excessive eating especially that of unhealthy foods commonly referred to as “junk food”? The assumption ...

Abstract

This paper discusses four research questions in the area of the writer's interest, which is the relationship between childhood obesity and the risk of cardiovascular disease in adults. The writer identified two qualitative and two quantitative questions. The qualitative questions dealt with the most effective intervention approach for preventing childhood obesity and the factors that enabled obese children to gain normal weights in adulthood. On the other hand, the quantitative questions dealt with the relationship between family lifestyle and childhood obesity and the relationship between breastfeeding and childhood obesity versus the relationship of bottle feeding and childhood obesity. The ...

Adolescence is considered as a transitional phase, that effects on a child’s physical and psychological development.

Understanding the Link between Pedagogy and Leadership

Introduction In the field of providing formal education, there is a need to establish a sense of leadership among those who are supposed to take the position of creating adjustments and points of progress in this particular field of learning. Education, being one of the primary social functions that play a great role in nation building, receives great pressure especially when it comes to creating valuable and distinct adjustments for the sake of improving the way young students are taught about the most important skills and knowledge they need to be able to survive a good life (Kato, et ...

Research suggests that early childhood education is extremely important for the success of children as they age. Without proper early childhood education, children are set up for failure in their lives before they even begin to attend school; children who attend preschool programs, for instance, have a much easier time learning in the kindergarten and first grade classrooms than children who are immediately placed into those same classrooms (Edwards, Cutter-Mackenzie et al., 2014). Perhaps some of the most important skills that children learn in these early childhood educational experiences are not academic skills, but are the skills that they ...
