- 651: The Effects Of Television Viol
- ... he replied that he wanted to see if the results would be the same in real life as they were on television (Howe 72). These are certainly startling examples of how television can affect the child. It must be pointed out that all of these situations were directly caused by children watching violent television. Not only does television violence affect the childÕs youth, but it can also affect his or her adulthood. Some psychologists and psychiatrists feel that continued exposure to such violence might unnaturally speed up the impact of the adult world on the child. This can force the child into a kind of premature maturity. As the child matures into an adult, he can become bewildered, have a greater distrust towards others, a superficial approach to adult problems, and even an unwillingness to ...
- 652: The Caucasian Chalk Circle
- ... the epitome of justice and gives a true verdict. The trial scene is also adapted from the parable of King Solomon. Solomon the paragon of justice and truth oversees the trial of two mothers, one child is dead the other alive, they seek custody of the alive child. The king asks the child to be cut in half, the real mother relinquishes her claim and thus gains custody of her rightful child. In these two whispers the law is shown to be equated with justice, however Brecht ...
- 653: Locke's The Second Treatise of Civil Government: The Significance of Reason
- ... senses, things which, to him, were much more plausible that reason, itself. Children are filled with an abundance of imagination and creativity, and their senses guide them through their daily lives. Rousseau believed that a child's sensations “are the first materials of knowledge” (64), for things which derive from the senses are easy to perceive. This is what inspires a child to want to learn and to want to cultivate his/her reason. It is easier, he suggests, to show a child something than to teach him something that he/she cannot fully comprehend. As the saying goes, “the unexamined life is not worth living.” To Rousseau, experience and hands-on learning would be far more ...
- 654: Internet Censorship and the Communications Decency Act
- Internet Censorship and the Communications Decency Act Last October, congress passed and President Clinton signed into law a new "sequel" to the unconstitutional Communications Decency Act. This new Internet censorship bill, the Child Online Protection Act or COPA (a.k.a. "CDA II"), would establish criminal penalties for any commercial distribution of material deemed "harmful to minors". Although I feel that this law will probably be overturned like ... these wouldn't work, and there are many alternatives to government enforced laws to protect children that would be much less invasive. The bills for laws aimed at regulating the Internet for the sake of child safety are, in my opinion, extremely vague and broadsided. They give absolutely no definition of what should be considered "obscene" or "harmful to minors." Definitions annexed on to them are extremely broadsided and could not ... things that should never be considered "obscene." However Internet censorship laws could potentially make it illegal to publish things like this on the Internet, and in being so vague, there is plenty of room for abuse of laws like these. Politicians could misuse these laws to ban things that they personally consider immoral or simply don't like even if they aren't considered "offensive to minors" by most people, ...

- ... living symbol. It¹s probable that the reason Oliver Twist contains so much fear and agony is because it¹s a reflection of occurrences in Charles Dickens' past.

- 656: Learning Disabilities
- ... until high school? A student with a high-average or superior intellectual level may maintain grade level performance in elementary school, but develop academic problems in higher grades. Some professionals feel baffled because if a child doesn't show early academic problems, it seems unlikely that LD is the reason for later problems. Other professionals suggest that a capable student may develop sufficient compensations in the easy school years to make ... difficulties in three specific areas: 1. Attention span 2. Impulse control 3. Hyperactivity (sometimes) ADD is a chronic disorder which can begin in infancy and can extend throughout adulthood while having negative effects on a child's life at home, school, and within his/her community. It is conservatively estimated that 3-5% of our school age population is affected by ADD, a condition which previously fell under the heading of ... deficit should only be made after ruling out other factors related to medical, emotional or environmental variables which could cause serious symptoms. Therefore, physicians, psychologists, and educators often conduct a multi-disciplinary evaluation of the child including medical studies, psychological and educational testing, speech and language assessment, neurological evaluation, and behavioral rating scales completed by the child's parents and teachers. "Hyperactivity with ADD, without treatment, often results in failure, ...

- ... won't sit still; He wiggles, And giggles, And then, I declare, Swings backwards and forwards, And tilts up his chair, Just like any rocking horse-- "Philip! I am getting cross!"

Down upon the ground they fall ... among children. It affects 3 to 5 percent of all children, perhaps as many as 2 million American children. Two to three times more boys than girls are affected. On the average, at least one child in every classroom in the United States needs help for the disorder. ADHD often continues into adolescence and adulthood, and can cause a lifetime of frustrated dreams and emotional There are many definable differences between ... occurring. If this process is hindered or postponed then damage in the form of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can result. Typically if a mother does drugs or drinks during pregnacy then the chances for a child that has ADHD is higher.

- 659: Compare And Contrast Depression And Schizophrenia
- Compare And Contrast Depression And Schizophrenia Many people take the ability of a young child to recognize faces for granted. However, these people do not realize that the molding of personality begins in infancy. People learn to recognize others by their personalities. Unfortunately, personality disorders are not uncommon. Today, we ... quiet, sleeping and waking regularly. Others cry frequently and have irregular sleeping and waking cycles. These differences seem to be due to heredity, but such factors as the mother's nourishment while she carried the child before birth may be important. An obvious biological difference exists between boys and girls. Later, as children grow and develop, sex differences become stronger. Certain glands called endocrine have different physical effects on boys than ... emphasize the importance of early childhood experiences in the development of the personality.

- ... precious as many see it to be, is put on the cutting block, and people become not only a hero for themselves, but for the potential lives of humans with choices to come.
