Recommended: How do social interactions affect children's development

On Tuesday August 23rd 2016 and Saturday August 27th 2016, I volunteered to help the North Georgia Family Crisis Center with a charity kid’s fashion show. Tuesday was the rehearsal for the fashion show, and unfortunately I didn’t get to help out much because I was held up at a meeting. However, on Saturday, I got the chance to participate more and I experienced an opportunity that I believe was a great advantage to me and will benefit me in the future. On the day of the fashion show, I arrived at 11:00 am and signed in at the front desk. After that, I was immediately put on concession stand duty. I started my day selling water bottles for a dollar and handing children their snacks. Not many people bought water, as most people brought their own drinks, but all together, the …show more content…

Even though I didn’t get to interact with kids as much I imagined I would, I got the chance to watch them first hand, which is always an advantage for anyone who studies human behavior and interaction. Some of the kids who participated in the show were technically in the preadolescent stage of their development. They were around ages 8 through 12, which is a time thought to be for when the body begins to mature internally to prepare for the more intense stages of puberty and adolescence. It was interesting to see how these older kids interacted with their peers and parents compared to the younger children. I thought about the differences found in the minds of adults verses the brains of children and adolescents while everyone was getting ready. I remember watching them and thinking how different their life is going to be for them soon. Through observation, I saw how the older kids used concrete operational thinking to keep up with their schedules and be ready on time for the fashion while helping their younger siblings and friends do the

  • Angel Arms: Service Project Case Study

    418 Words  | 1 Pages

    For our project, Maddie, Payal, Shraddha, and I decided to volunteer with a group called Angel Arms located in Latrobe. Angel Arms is an organization that takes care and helps rehabilitate babies who were born addicted to drugs. At first, we assumed we would be working with their snuggler program which would have allowed us to hold and comfort these babies. However, with the opioid epidemic on the rise, a place was needed for their work to continue. Although a long way out, Angel Arms is restoring an old abandoned Victorian house to turn it a rehabilitation place for these babies. They just started the project a month back so our service project was doing a lot of moving of old furniture out of the house. We helped them organize what could

  • Human Development In The Movie 56 Up

    In the film 56 Up, I observed ten specific individuals throughout their lives starting when they were around five or six years old. They were followed in a series of films to show their development and how they coped with certain life situations. The film 56 Up was to see where they were at in life and how they looked at life since the last updated film. While each person was telling their story of life, I took notes and I focused on three different themes: 1) nature/nurture, 2) the sociocultural context, and 3) the active child.

  • Fitting In or Not Standing Out

    570 Words  | 2 Pages

    Adolescence is all about teenagers trying to fit in. Adolescent teens spend most of their time worrying about their appearance and how they act to try to fit in with others. Most of them on things that they, “like,” just to be accepted by others. Many teens, compare themselves to each other and they really shouldn’t do that. I know that most teenagers try to fit in with the group, but they should really just have fun and be themselves. Sometimes, teens will try to act as if they are apart of a higher social class than what their family is, when in reality, they are both in the same social structure. For example, in the documentary, (People Like Us), Tammy’s son, Matt, try’s to make himself look cooler at school so he can fit in and not be apart of his family’s social class. Kids should not do this. They should ju...

  • Responsibility of the Fashion Model Industry

    1518 Words  | 4 Pages

    A tall, glamorous runway model is every girl’s dream. Long beautiful legs, lean body, and beautiful shiny hair is what an average young woman views as an ideal image for a female. If you don’t resemble the images of those stunning Victoria Secret models and Fashion Week models, you suddenly become ashamed of your own body. It is a great life to have with the high pay, fame, drinking champagne on a yacht with famous celebrities and even being on the Vogue cover page. Fashion Modeling Industry has been the most influential source in our young women’s lives. Young girls and young women are seen eating as little as they can, even starving themselves at times to resemble those models. What they don’t realize is that they are contributing to the 2.7 percentage of 13- 18 year olds suffering from anorexia and bulimia. Susan Albers, a psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic said exposure to thin models is a great trigger in maintaining an eating disorder. When watching America’s Next Top Model or flipping through a Fashion magazine, these young women don’t apprehend that those models are either naturally slim or they are suffering from an eating disorder themselves, in other words, hostages in the dark hell hid behind those runway curtains. The growing number of young anorexia and bulimia patients, and the number of websites such as thinspiration, where girls put up pictures of their thin bodies clearly suggest that the fashion modeling industry do not at all bear any responsibility in providing healthy, realistic physical role models for young women.

  • Importance Of Fashion Consumerism

    1225 Words  | 3 Pages

    The act of consumption has been the primary means through which individuals in society participate and transform culture. Culture is not something already made which we consume; culture is what society creates through practices of everyday life and consumption involves the making of culture. When attempting to understand certain acts of consumption it is necessary to observe the relations involved in production and consumption. Through technological innovation, the fashion industry has been expanded to play a prominent role in consumers’ purchasing decisions and styles are becoming less difficult to obtain. With the expansion of department stores and shopping being viewed as a leisurely activity, this has continued to transform the act of fashion consumerism. The functional interests feature a rational attachment to clothing items. Symbolic benefits involve status and prestige to fulfill the achievement for positive self-esteem. Further benefits include a provided experience for the individual consumer and the created use of imagery and desire used to enrich one’s life.

    It is very well said that fashion comes from within ourselves and not what we see and copy. It is reflected in our attitude, the way we walk, talk or even eat. There are no boundaries set as to what is fashionable and what is not. Whatever makes us happy, comfortable and confident is fashion and that is something that we should keep in mind. Fashion has become an integral part of any contemporary society. It is an omnipresent aspect of our lives and is one of the focal topics of the print and electronic media, television and internet, advertisements and window displays in shops and malls, movies, music, modes of entertainment etc. Though the term ‘fashion’ is often used synonymously with garment, it actually has a wider connotation.
