Hello, Oliva. Those articles you showed in your post where greet examples of why children need to participate in rough and tumble play at a young age. It helps them develop appropriately and also build them up to be strong and to communicate with the other kids effectively overall. From the findings that you presented in the articles, I really wasn’t that surprised that boys showed a little more aggressive in the rough and tumble play than the girls do. I think it all comes down to what our society dictates overall as what is the appropriate actions for boys and girls. I a lot of times. Boys tend to be more aggressive and to more rough and tumble things like tackling and pushing a lot more than girls do.
Young boys are also being manipulated by marketers. Boys are naturally more aggressive than girls and companies use that to their advantage. Boys are taught to be tough and “manly”. Boys are raised with the belief that it is not okay to cry, or have any sort of overwhelming emotion that can be taken as “girly”. This puts terrible pressure on a kid, but toy distributors take it and use it to their advantage. Boys are taught to be tough so boys need “tough” toys like guns and swords. Girls are taught to be frail and dainty and boys are told to be violent and tough. The problem with this is that not every child is going to feel as if they belong in category “A”, when they see themself as a “B”. In other words, not every young boy is going to like being rough and tough and not every girl wants to be delicate and
In life everyone is going to have to go through struggles and trials, however in times of suffering, having a strong support system and faith can help get through anything. The book is Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. The book is about an Olympic athlete named Louie Zamperini, that joined the military. Louie is captured, and tortured by the Japanese after his military plane crashed. Louie and his fellow prisoners are then tasked with trying to survive the Japanese POW camps. What are the underlying themes of Unbroken? In Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand three themes that stand out in the story are faith, suffering, and friendship.
Our enemy was the Japanese, but when the war ended, it also had another story to it, and it was Louie, a survivor of the American army, and a survivor from a prisoner of war camp. Louie’s life was that he was an athlete in his childhood, and the one who made Louie into an athlete was Pete, his big brother in the family, which his brother was the one that encouraged Louie the most. When Louie was older, he joined the army, and when he joined, he was still running and practiced like an athlete. When Louie was growing up, he kept on changing his personalities, and was growing new traits as he learned from others, and had joy with loved ones too. In the book Unbroken, the author Laura Hillenbrand described Louie as
The differences between the two children and the choices they made regarding their play were fairly obvious. Though a number of factors would likely influence the way that children chose to play, the main difference that could be inferred from the two children without looking into their backgrounds, was their sex. Choosing to compare gender is something that seemed to come naturally after referring to the observation as well as from personal preferences and interests. The idea of sex and gender differences is one of importance and the reasoning behind it provided an insight to the way our society supports girls and boys in different manners. A number of differences can be taken when comparing how girls and boys play including the role models they choose to copy, either a male or female, how physical the play is and the other classmates that children choose to play with.
Tannen does a great job linking the differences in communication and her points do feed into and support one another. She argues that boys play with a hierarchal structure and often play games that have winners and losers, while girls tend to play in small groups doing activities that do not have winners or losers. However, beyond statements and description there was very little evidence to back either of these. I also found myself
On the night of October 1, 1910 at 1:07 a.m., the Los Angeles Times building in Los Angeles, California was attacked by two brothers, James B. McNamara (“J.B.”) and John J. McNamara (“J.J.”). J.B. left a suitcase of dynamite next to barrels of flammable printer ink in the “Ink Alley”, a narrow alley in between the main Times building and the Times annex. The dynamite had a detonator connected to a windup clock, which was set to explode at 1 a.m. He also left bombs, similar to those in the “Ink Alley”, that were also set to explode ay 1 a.m. next to Times publisher Harrison Gray Otis’ home and the secretary of MMA Felix Zeehandelaar’s home. The bomb went off at 1:07 a.m. outside the three-story Los Angeles Times Building, causing the side of
Psychological research has recognized the importance of relationships with friends and peers in the development of social skills. Although previous research has looked at the differentiated experiences that children have in play styles, few studies have focused on the precise nature of these differences and how they are manifested as a function of the social context. Fabes, Martin & Hanish (2003) examined social interactions among children. More specifically, they observed children’s naturally occurring interactions over the course of a school year to examine how active-forceful play, play near adults and gender stereotypic activity choices varied among children by the sex of the child, the sex of the partner they interacted with and whether
Around the time of 1866-1868, legends were born. These gentlemen were born in completely different states, but would become the best partners in crime around the early 1900s. When they came together, they were outlaws that had the same passion, robbing anything from banks to trains and causing mischief. They had no idea that they would form one of the most unstoppable outlaw groups and were about to form a brotherhood that would last for a lifetime. Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, were about to become two of the most notorious outlaws in history.
There are positions outfield, infield, and catcher and pitcher. There are three positions outfield and four positions infield. Outfield the positions are left, center, and right. Infield positions are first, second, shortstop, and third, but there’s also pitcher and catcher where they aren’t at bases. Although softball seems like an easy sport that doesn’t take much knowledge, positions in softball each have their own rules and plays.
Though both genders seem to spend the same amount playing, boys and girls differ in several aspects of play. Girls tend to engage in more socio-dramatic play that includes higher levels of play sequence than boys. Girls also play in a more scripted way with toys. (Cherney & Dempsey, 2010; Cherney, Kelly-Vance, Glover, Ruane & Ryalls, 2003) Both play sequence and scripted play determine play complexity therefore the intricacy of play depends on the gender of the toy.
My choice of research was in the play behaviors of children as well as aggression. Breaking the topic down more, behavior relates to the psychology and the psyche of each individual. The definition of psychology is “science of mind and behavior” (Clavijo, 2013). After reading the article by Clavijo, I have realized that psychology can be defined in three ways such as the study of the mind, the study of behavior, and the study of the mind and behavior. In the text “The Developing Person” by Berger, behavior is learned through social learning. Children learn different behaviors through the observation of others, others being children and adults. Different people have affects on a child’s life that can affect their behavior. A child’s behavior is heavily influenced by their parents. A son may speak aggressively and without respect towards his mother because this is the way that his father speaks to her therefore he feels that is how to communicate with his mother (Berger, 200, 2012). Moving into play behaviors, children learn from other children in how to play. Most believe cognitive growth relies on child’s play time. Vygotsky and Piaget both believe that when children play it is beneficial, but according to Vygotsky, playing enables a child to think outside the box and create their own meaning from objects, using their imagination. Piaget believes that child benefit from playing together because children and sharing their knowledge and making it more concrete ideas and thoughts. There are four stages of plays, with the fourth stage being the highest most complicated play which consists of rules and guidelines for the game. The lowest level or play would be functional play being infants shaking rattles, clapping their hands, or blow...
I have connected the reflective research paper to objective # 1 because it made me examine my personal belief and attitude on gender equity issues. I did not realize that gender equity existed at the level that it does until researching the topic. Doing the research made me realize that the way we teach directly affects how children learn in every aspect.
My main field experience this semester was in Ms. Schreyer's third grade math class at Trinity South. I was in the classroom on Tuesdays from 8:30 to 12:00 and Thursdays from 10:30 to 2:00. When in Ms. Schreyer's class, I observed two different groups of students because of the way the class rotations work. The first group that I observed is Ms. Schreyer's homeroom. There are 17 students in her homeroom class, and four of them have IEPs for either learning support or emotional support. On Tuesdays I arrived as the students arrived, so I was able to see the morning routine. The students bring their materials to the classroom, go to breakfast, and, upon returning from breakfast, complete a bell ringer activity. The bell ringers alternate between math,
Using saline to clean instruments, however, or excessive soaking of instruments in any fluid-(saline or water) will, over time, display as pitting on surgical instruments. Pitting can be seen as small pockets/divets on the instrument. Once an instrument shows signs of pitting, it “may” be buffed out, however, it is important to note that once pitting shows signs in the boxlocks, the teeth of forceps, or under the insulation in a laparoscopic instrument, due to their complex design, may prove difficult to remove and may even break down the instrument if not addressed in a timely manner.
Rough-and-tumble play is a way how children play, by wrestling, rolling, hitting, running, after one another in a friendly way. Childrens tend to play this way with others because of how parents physically play with their babies, mostly how fathers plays with their son. It’s more likely to see this type of play towards the boys because, “prenatal exposure to androgens predisposes boys towards active play” (Berk & Meyers, 2016, pg. 424). Boys tend to have more physical contact while playing rough-and-tumble, such as, wrestling and hitting. While, the girls form of rough-and-tumble, is just running around chasing each other, without much physical contact. Rough-and-tumble helps the children form a “dominance hierarchy”, which is when a stable
