Essay on Childhood in the context of globalisation and adult culture

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

I don’t want to trivialize the roles of adults in children’s lives, but, truth be told, we

adults greatly exaggerate our roles in our theories and beliefs about how children develop. We have this adult-centric view that we raise, socialize, and educate children.

Certainly we are important in children’s lives. Children need us. We feed, clothes, shelter, and comfort them. We provide examples (not always so good) of what it’s like to be an adult. But we don’t raise, socialize, or educate them. They do all that for themselves, and in that process they are far more likely to look to other children than to us adults as models. If child psychologists were actually CHILD psychologists (children), theories of child development would be much less about parents and much more about peers.

Essay on Childhood in the context of globalization and adult culture :

Childhood is a state when our character and personality starts to begin and build. This stage is compared to raw pots of soil. Raw soil has a property to adapt itself according to the wish of the potter. If the potter doesn’t take care of instructions to make the shape, obviously the pot will not be shaped properly.  

Likewise, at the stage of childhood, the child develops the habits and personality according to the instructions of its adults and given environment. Due to globalization and adult culture, the children are seen to demolish ethics in their character. They are dominated by the scientific principles which sometimes works to impart a rebellious element in their character.
