Questions On The Theoretical Lens

A description of the social, economical and cultural factors that will impact on the lives of children and young people.

Many sociologists see childhood as socially constructed; as something created and defined by society. Many argue that what people mean by childhood, and the position that children occupy in society, is not fixed but differs between different times, places and cultures. It can be seen that by comparing the western idea of childhood today with childhood in the past and other societies. It can be determined by many sociologists that there have been many changes in society that have affected children over the last 50 years, however there are several there are several different sociological views on whether these changes have been beneficial to children or not.

1.1. Describe the social, economic and cultural factors that will impact on the lives of children

This essay looks at how relationships are formed in childhood, the theory of mind and how a child learns to recognise that others think from a different perspective. I have also looked at the Life chances of families and how they are influenced by their economic position in society and the impact that this has.

Dear Past Murray, this is your present-day self. I am writing this letter to help guide you in your journey through the Masters of Counselling graduate program. You are going to experience a fundamental shift in your perspectives on human nature and the nature of change. Currently, your point of view and insights are limited to a behaviorist context (Skinner, 2012) and to a behavior analysis approach (Fee, A., Schrieber, E, Nobel, N. Valdovinos, M, 2016). This has served you well in your work with youth and young adults with challenging behaviors. However, as you start this journey you have started to ask yourself what theory to follow. The answer to this question will be found when you take a step back from the various models of counselling to look at what really makes a difference to client outcomes and to develop a

“….he says he would as soon put fireworks in my pillow-case as to let me have those stimulating people about now.”(Gilman, 4)

Western parents allow their children to do what they are truly passionate about and do it on their own. Children do know what is best for themselves and their future. Western parents give their children their own space to do things, but still provide the support they need. The Western parent’s children still have them as their backbone to encourage them in any way to stay on track and to help them with any problems they have to face. Learning how to face one’s problem helps with one independence. Dealing with situations as they come help the children to face them and find a solution. Children do have the ability to face a problem and find a solution on their own. In the “blicket detector” experiment, Gopnik observes how the child is able to solve the blicket block with the casual knowledge given. As Gopnik observes the children she realizes, “Once the children start to discover which blocks make the machine go, they can use that information to envision new possibilities and make new predictions, including counterfactual predictions”(180). The child is given information on the blicket block and is expected on how does the blocks work. When trying to figure out the blicket blocks, he opens new possibilities to solve it. On his own, he was able to do that thinking leading to making his own predictions about what would happen. This example that Gopnik presents is how Western parents, according to Chua teach children to think on their own. As the children learn to

A farm that features agritourism was supposed to be visited, and then analyzed using the “Seven lenses” that was provided by the client on Moodle. The farm that was visited by the writer exhibited all aspects of the seven lenses almost perfectly. This paper will list and explain how the farm that was visited during the summer exhibited the seven lenses.

These are characteristics which we have no control over yet drastically influence our life, such as race, ethnicity, biological sex, class, etc. Harro’s article is important, not only because it addresses how we learn through experience, but how we notice the effects ascribed factors have in one 's life and our value in a world where all the rules and regulations involved with social and economic factors are already distinguished.Through our first form of socialization among our family, these rules and regulations become abundantly clear to us. Here we are first taught the norms and values of our society, including how one should interact, speak, live, what types of education are necessary or what economic status is acceptable. Yet, as we grow older we move to a new unit of socialization within institutions. At a school environment, we begin to learn how society sees us and others. Our peers assess us, make us question what we had previously learned and further educate or enhance our former beliefs. Through teachers and administration, we understand the rules, both written and unwritten, and the instances where these rules become unfair, favoring some people over another. Eventually proceeding youth, we emerge out of our shells to reality with a pre-manufactured set of ideals and norms of the world around us. Yet, one might still ask how does this affect poverty?

We look for things that we can’t see by looking through special powerful telescopes that help us see the things we can’t from the naked eye. Many special telescopes today at NASA are those that can see things our eye itself cannot. These telescope’s lenses are the most powerful in the world. They see things our eyes can’t like dark matter. Like when dark matter was discovered. W. Kent Ford confirmed the existence of this “missing mass”. He observed a resembling phenomenon. The mass of the stars visible in a typical galaxy is about 10 percent required to keep stars orbiting their galaxy's center. Speed with which stars orbit the center. Accoring to http://www.britannica.com/science/dark-matter “Indeed, orbital velocity is either constant or

Consequently, this mindset, which is heavily based on tradition, prevented little girls from exploring their talents and capabilities because their fathers, brothers and sometimes even mothers decide 12 years is old enough to be women, force them to quit school and possibly even marry them off. Additionally, this form of discrimination, which is not practiced only by men but women as well, denied women certain academic opportunities. Therefore, a large number of women in those communities are hurdled from reaching their full potential and partaking in the improvement and development of our society and country.

The societal influences on early life are determined by a variety of factors, ranging from access to survival necessities to income inequality (Maggi et al., 2010). Developing countries are more likely to be impacted by war, slavery, discrimination, disease, and a lack of water and sanitation facilities (Maggi et al., 2010). Developed countries face issues around childhood exposure to poverty and the inability for some to access the services needed for ideal health and wellbeing (Maggi et al., 2010). Although the issues faced between countries are immensely different, the concerns for one child are no less important than the concerns for another (Maggi et al., 2010).

Many people turn to their cultural background to seek answers to life’s unpredictable happenings because your culture is deeply rooted and in chaos it remains unchanged. It can provide you with the light at the end of the tunnel during a tough moment, but it is not the silver lining in every situation. Sometimes the path that our culture wants us to follow in the rearing of our children is not necessarily the optimal path for growth. Strict patriarchal views disguised as traditional values designed to inhibit the growth of a curious and a thriving teenager can be detrimental to their self-discovery. Granted that a how-to guide on raising your children does not exist, it is important to understand that placing restrictions can be harmful.

Understanding lens define to understand something else. It reveals important and hidden components or parts. There are four parts to identify lens. One is to break down the lens into parts to see how it works. Questions could unfold like “What category is my topic in?” Step two requires to recognize any relevant topic that goes under that specific lens. Does it fit your topic? Step three is to see what does not fit your topic because not every topic is picture perfect, there are some flaws that requires fix up. Lastly, say something interesting or new about the chosen topic. What do you want the readers to know other than repeat what’s already there? To create a corporation or a company of any type, one must need the ability to gather materials

The future of the world is in the hands of the children. Whether the future be a positive or negative one depends on the children and the education they receive. The education of a child is so valuable that one needs to consider the importance of the child's education. Also, one needs to consider how to go about nurturing those bright minds so one day they can become independent individuals. As Educators, one needs to be aware of the short-term effects as well as the long-term effects in which education may play on the child's views of the world.
