It is easy for the enjoyment of celebration to be abused as an excessive indulgence in creation to the point of dehumanization. Instead, Foster encourages a rekindling of the lost art of play by seeing the world through a child-like innocence of awe and wonder.

    1389 Words  | 3 Pages

    Both A “Brave New World” and events from our own world disprove the statement that individuality is seen as a threat to a harmonious society. In the book Huxley introduces the characters Bernard, Helmholtz, and John as outsiders. They do not fit into the societies that they are a part of which threatens the system Mustafa Mond and the other world leaders have instilled into the society.

    “We strive to be like all our brother men, for all men must be alike” (Ayn Rand, Anthem). If everyone is the same no one can be superior, no one will believe they are better; because once someone believes they are better than others they are harder to control. For any dictator to stay in power they need to be in total control of their people; and children are the best and easiest of individuals to mold their minds into what the dictator wants them to believe, think, and do.

This movement focused on “greater individualism against conformity” (Corbett et al.). Heavily influenced by the Romantic period, transcendentalism adopted the belief that reason was more important than logic as Benjamin Franklin has believed. Reason must also include unique emotion and spirit (Corbett et

    Many theorists have tried to define play as a concept, however, no two agree on a set definition. Their backgrounds and induvial lifestyles influence the way they see the importance of play. Reed and Brown also believe that there isn’t an agreed definition of play because is something that is felt rather than done (Reed & Brown, 2000 cited in Brock, Dodd’s, Jarvis & Olusoga, 2009). In spite of this, it is clear that most theorists uphold the ethos that play is imperative to a child’s learning and development. There is a wide range of different studies and theories which helps us develop our own perception of what play is.

    Playfulness can inspire imagination. Imagination can enhance playfulness. Playfulness increases one’s ability to cope and builds resiliency. Time spent with children is easy and interesting way to find out the meaning of playfulness. While playing with children we cannot teach them about life and people should learn more from them (children) by watching them how they approach and, actually, look at life. I am saying this because, from my point of view, I think that children observe everything with interest, enjoyment and happiness, and individuals should learn to approach life in this more playful manner. Not surprisingly, the ability to fantasize commonly is associated with children. Why do we think this so? The reason lies in its ability
