The childhood of kids back then compared to the childhood of kids now are so distinct.So many things have changed, especially the amount of technology in their lives. How is it possible that things can change in a short amount of time? Well it happened, things changed. The way a kid lives his/her life now compared to how kids use to live their life back then has changed dramatically. Kids back then were pretty laid back, but full of so many adventures as well. When I was 11 in years old in 2011 I remember spending most of my life outdoors, playing hide and seek, bike riding, going to the park, walking through woods to discover new places with my cousins and neighbors or just doing crazy dumb things but they were always worth it because now once I think back they were mini adventures and great stories to tell. There was nothing better than being outdoors and enjoying the fresh air and freedom. Wherever you turned kids were always there despite the weather. During the summer they'd be scattered everywhere while in the fall, they’ll be jumping in the leaves. Then in the winter, making a snowman and angels. Later coming home to just simply watching the best shows on nickelodeon like Victorious, Shake it Up, Wizards Of a Waverly Place ext. The shows back then were the bomb! Nothing could ever compare to them. But that's all it was to the …show more content…
They’re both kids and some kids now decide to actually go outside, are around the same age, go to school. But for the most part kids are so ignorant and boring now. They aren’t that outgoing and down to try new things kids now are close minded and aren’t willing to live their life because what they call fun is being on their technology while there is wifi. To summarize this.. Things have changed in a short amount of time it’s unbelievable and some people probably don’t see it but the transformation has
I liked this story because it reminds me of kids I knew back in the day.
There is little evidence of what it was really like in the past so it is difficult for a lot of people to re-construct the life of a child, however from what I have researched, and in my own opinion I am going to summarise the historical changes in childhood experience and relate these changes to childhood development and rights.
Even at the age of twelve I still have fun up north Playing king of the raft out on the small weeded lake was a great time waster to get out all of our energy right before dinner with all of my cousins.
People are trying to not let them do activities because they may get hurt. This is just how life is and the parents have to except that there are some things that they can not keep their children from getting hurt. It even said in the video about banning dodgeball are making the soft and parents are wanting to coddle them and not let them get hurt. Every child gets hurt and this will be how life is and if people are trying to coddle them then they may not be ready for the real world. There are a lot of dangerous jobs and people in the real world so parents can not hide the children from getting hurt, people just have to let kids be
During this time my brother and I were taught how to fish for Sharks and Alligator Gars. We were also taught to hunt for deer and pigs. I learned to ride horses and I was always amazed at how they were handled. I grew up as country girl, and a part of me will always be that girl because I was fearless when my father was beside me. I knew I had to be tough around him. I always knew that when my dad was taking us somewhere I had to wear jeans and a pair of boots because anything could happen on an adventure. My grandparents’ house was great too, we went on tractor rides and hayrides, we climbed trees and skinned our knees. Their house was so close to ours that sometimes my mom would take my brother and sister to their house in our
The world we know today is constantly changing. In just 90 years a lot of things have changed drastically. 90 years ago the invention of the car was still pretty new but now it's become apart of everyday technology, along with our phones everything has changed. There are some things that have stayed the same. A couple things that have stayed the same over all that time is women's role in society and something that had just started then but still works just the same are movies. They are a lot more ways that you could compare the 1920’s to Today but I'm going to talk about these two, so let's get into it.
Over the past (almost) hundred years, society and education have both changed drastically. Typically, the things that have happened in history, such as wars, technological advances, and changes in culture, changed education as a result. Some of these changes include popular culture in the 1920s, economic factors in the 1930s, military intervention in the 1940s, Sputnik in the 1950s, and racial issues in the 1960s. One theme of education is that it has gradually become more important over the years. Before high school diplomas could be rare, and today most high school graduates go to college in the United States.
Time changes everything. As time goes on even the everyday things in our life change. There are the obvious things like technology, transportation, and cooking. However, unmaterialistic things in our life change as well. Such as the way people date and the way people view dating. It really has changed drastically from generation to generation. For example, someone using 2000’s dating techniques would have had serious trouble dating in the 1950’s. There are many factors that have led to this change, such as communication and the view of women by society.
Dress up was one of my favorite activities as a kid. You could pretend to be anything. I would often choose to put on these fancy heels and a really poofy dress. Then run to my mom asking her to put makeup on me. She would promptly tell me to “stop growing up so fast.” And of course all I wished was to be older. I wanted to wear fancy clothes and apply tons of makeup.
But the park adventures, bike races, yelling from angry old men, and being “ daredevils “ in the roof had to end when my family and I had to move. It was probably one of the most saddest days of my five year old life because I had to say bye to the fun times. But I will never forget about them or the street that taught me a lot about having
The new generation is now using media as a form of socializing. Children use social media as a means to contact their friends, they use television as a way to relax, and kids play video games with their friends. Children are watching movies that are above their cognitive perception, and also playing video games that are rated above their age group. With all of the new media, it is starting to get hard to keep up. Cyberbullying has become an issue and violent video games have become normal.
Technology has had so many advances in the past decade. People are constantly using the internet for numerous things. Every person uses the internet and technology at least once in their lifetime. Since technology is constantly growing and advancing people find themselves using it more and more for everyday life. Now, adults are usually the ones using the internet, but young kids have found themselves using it more frequently as well. Whether it be a child who is using a phone for games, or a teenager who is using a phone for social media, the internet is always being used. Young kids also find themselves using the internet for several things including social media or texting. With young people using social media there can be a positive side, a negative side, and even changes in ones mind. Young people feed into social media and with this comes cyberbullying, insecurities, distraction, and no privacy.
When I was a young child I would love to hear my parents tell me that we were going on a trip. I would be full of excitement, because I knew that we would be going to a place that I had never seen before. My parents, my brother, and I would pack our luggage and venture out in our small gray minivan. Three of my most cherished memories in our minivan are when we went to Disney World, the beach, and the mountains.
People who are nostalgic about childhood, were obviously never children. Few people can remember the truth about adolescence. Their minds "censor" their memories; and have them believe that being a teenager was was one big party, free of cares and responsibilities. Well let me say this, you couldnOt be more wrong if you had a lobotomy. There aren't that many adults around who realise what adolescence was really like. The anguish, the fear, the anxiety, the stress. People don't remember those problems because they want to forget them.
I remember every day in summer my brothers and I would play with our neighbors and do lots of fun activities outside. The kids that we hung out with were older than me but they still included me as if I were one of them. I wouldn 't always join in their activities just because they were all
