- 1221: Creation As Seen Through Greco
- ... from ever posing any threat to his power. Rhea bore Cronus six children all of which Cronus swallowed whole so as to keep them from threatening him. When Rhea found out that she was with child for a seventh time she feared for the life of her unborn child, so, she developed a plan to protect her child. When her seventh child, Zeus, was born she sent him to the island of Crete to be raised by nymphs. Knowing that Cronus was half-mad already it would be a simple matter to ...
- 1222: Gender Projects
- ... include hidden gender stereotypes. In Suzanne Kessler's, "The Medical Construction of Gender", she claims that gender is culturally constructed. To illustrate this, she brings up case studies of intersexed infants. She defines an intersexed child as a person born with genitals that are neither clearly male nor clearly female. First to ground this issue, Kessler points out that it is very hard to diagnose an intersexed infant. She states that if a doctor sees the male genitalia than he or she assumes that the infant is male, otherwise it is female. Another ground for her claim is how a physician determines if the intersex child should be transformed to a male or a female. The doctors try to choose the sex of the child, such that there is minimal transformation. She suggests that the criteria for choosing the sex is based on the “way her/his genitals look or could be made to look”. (13) Both of these ...
- 1223: Imagination And How It Relates
- ... to be content with everything, to have everything they could need or want. We want to have no worries and no stress. Every day we imagine what we want in life. A seven-year-old child may only imagine a toy he wants to buy, or a television show he wants to watch. The child's mind only occasionally thinking towards the future seriously. An older child may think about what he wants to do when he gets older. What he "wants to be when he grows up." He imagines how his life will be. How he wants it to be. ...
- 1224: Fuch's "The American Way of Families": Is the Dream Really as Sweet as Apple Pie?
- ... to satisfy the appetite of happiness we often overlook the feelings of others. For instance, suppose that in a family that consisted of two college graduates in the role of parent, were faced with a child (that they brought up with all of their values and good intentions) that suddenly decides that he or she wants to move to Hollywood to become a rock star. It is almost by instinct that these parents will not approve of their child's decision. They do not want to lie about what their child is doing when their friends(who coincidentally all have children in college) ask, "Hey, what's Johnny and Sally up to theses days?" Quite to the contrary, most parents want to be able to ...
- 1225: Orwell's "Such, Such Were the Joys....": Alienation and Other Such Joys
- ... tank full of pike. (23) Young Orwell, impacted by this, “hard,” disorienting situation, realizes he is alone in a hostile, harsh environment. Orwell uses the image of the “warm nest,” a womb, from which the child is thrown, then innocently forced into a destructive reality. This reality is Crossgates, an educational institution but also a primary residence, the “home” Orwell lives in on a daily basis for a number of years ... you” and “[t]his was the great, abiding lesson of my boyhood: that I was in a world where it was not possible for me to be good” (5). This is the result of a child's flawed, but logical process of thought. Though he realizes that which is conveyed to him bodes his own rejection and eventual destruction, he listens to the conveyance because it originates from people he is ... for Christmas” (8). Orwell repudiates the English class system as well, the very system that defined his place in childhood (43). He rejects all that he was taught to believe right and virtuous as a child. He was pressured to believe without thinking, and as a naive child he did so. As a man, however, he condemns his former ideology, understanding that to be a man he must forge his ...
- 1226: Discuss Some Of The Main Ideas
- ... self-destructive behaviour such as taking increasing risks, drug or alcohol addiction and attempts at suicide. The death instinct might also be directed outwards in the form of aggression against others. Freud believed that every child is born with a variety of drives and instincts that require nourishment or stimulation. When there is conflict or deprivation of needs, anxiety and insecurity develop. Defensive manoeuvres are adopted to handle the stress, ultimately ... early childhood. So Freud began studying the sexual and emotional development of children. Freud based his stages of infantile sexual development in terms of parts of the body. During the first year of life, the child’s capacity for physical gratification is centred upon the mouth; this is the “oral” stage. Freud assumed that fixation at this stage, as a result of deprivation or overgratification may result in an adult who ... talking. Next comes the “anal” stage where pleasure comes through retention and elimination of faeces. Anal character traits may produce a preoccupation with orderliness or cleanliness. Severe methods of toilet training may make a rebellious child hold onto his faeces for as long as possible and miserliness may result in adulthood. In the phallic stage, the child of four or five turns his attention to the genitals and contact with ...
- 1227: Playing with the Younger: Emotional Development of Children in Playgrounds
- ... mix together in a playground. When children move out from the family into peer group, usually at the age of 6 to 12, they start learning valuable emotions through various relationships different from parents-and-child relationship. Interaction with younger children also brings positive human emotions in school children [6-12 year olds] such as tenderness to the younger and inner self-esteem.

According to Child Development Psychiatrist, Bill Cunningham, school children develop their self-concept “from their own evaluation of personal experiences” by comparing them “with the standards set by society and their own standards” (210). Therefore, when older ...
- 1228: The Computer Underground
- ... Cornell University graduate student inadvertently infected an in- ternational computer network by planting a self-reproducing "vi- rus," or "rogue program," the news media followed the story with considerable detail about the dangers of computer abuse (e.g., Allman, 1990; Winter, 1988). Five years earlier, in May of 1983, a group of hackers known as "The 414's" received equal media at- tention when they broke into the computer system of the Sloan Kettering Cancer research center. Between these dramatic and a- typical events, the media have dramatized the dangers of computer renegades, and media anecdotes presented during Congressional legislative debates to curtail "computer abuse" dramatized the "computer hacking problem" (Hollinger and Lanza-Kaduce, 1988: 107). Although the accuracy and objectivity of the evidence has since been challenged (Hollinger and Lanza- Kaduce 1988: 105), the media continue to format CU ... phreak% does everything he can (even up to turning off a number) to get credit infor- mation taken off a BBS. %This phreak% also tries to remove codes from BBSes.

- 1229: Oedipus Rex
- ... gods decided to turn their son against them.. When the oracle comes to Laius and tells him that his son will kill both of his parents, Laius makes a futile attempt to dispose of the child and therefore, avoid his terrible fate. “...While from our son’s birth not three days went by Before, with ankles pinned, he cast him out, By the hands of others, on a pathless moor.” He gives the young child to his head shepherd to cast out into the wild, where he will surely die. But the shepherd can not bring himself to do this and so he gives the child with ankles pinned to a fellow shepherd from a distant land called Corinth. When he receives the child, he unpins the baby’s ankles and gives him the name Oedipus, which means “swollen feet”. ...
