The ability to be undoubtedly sure of something is a golden quality; however, it can also be a destructive quality if taken advantage of. Certainty and doubt go hand in hand: too much certainty can make a person close-minded and ignorant—on the other hand, too much doubt makes a person unreliable in decision making, which is an important life-skill. Certainty and doubt should be equal in one’s life; they help to solidify opinion and personality and are key tools in learning experience. As children, humans spend the first few years of their lives learning from their surroundings. They gain opinion and personality on what they hear and see.
An advantage of this theory is that it drives parents to encourage their children at a young age to build up a large self-esteem; their sense of self-worth. A disadvantage of this theory is that the theories have been considered naïve and optimistic as it disregards the darker aspects of human nature. Like psychodynamic theories, humanistic theories are difficult to scientifically
Firstly, the ideas of being isolated from a friendship group is a daunting vision for many youngsters, and are thus willing to adopt the groups norms and values if it means they will acquire popularity or just to be part of a group. The peer group is a secondary agent of socialisation which means they develop and further reinforce the learning one was once subjected to in early childhood. A peer group that holds good values, like hard work may encourage its members into positive things, yet one that has detrimental values may lead to deviant behaviour. In spite of this influence, some may argue that the media in today’s media saturated world has become the most influential agent of socialisation. Stereotypes related to gender are regularly portrayed in the media.
Cultural deprivation means when children are deprived from things what they need. This can include the lack of values and support they get from their parents, which can influence on socialisation skills. It can be argued that due to lack of family structure, social cultural and soft skills pupils are less likely to underachieve. Cultural deprivation is a theory that many working-class children are inadequately socialised and therefore lack the ‘right’ culture appropriate for a successful education. Many people argue that development is vital in the younger years in the child’s life, and the ability to solve problems and apply ideas help in the long-term.
There are many different types of marketing, from television and internet to newspapers and magazines. This combined advertising onslaught impacts on children as never before (S Kline 2010, p247). Marketers have recognised the worthwhile economic potential for children’s marketing (E Moore 2004, p162). Often marketing is aimed at children as their minds are susceptible to many influences when they are young. This can be a harmful and manipulative way to attract vulnerable children.
As getting it wrong can lead to multiple placements and this will be detrimental to the child. Placements can break down for lots of different reasons ie. Bad behaviour and aggression, contact issues with family, rivalry between foster siblings. Some theorists have identified that children who experience stable placements that provide good quality care are more likely to succeed in education and be in work and settle into and manage their accommodation after leaving care. They will also feel better about themselves and achieve social interaction in adulthood.
Intelligent people get better grades because they get higher CST scores. As a result I would want better grades so I am able to be in honors classes. I also want good grades because I could go to a better high school. In addition, I would rather be more intelligent because that no one can take it away from me. Another benefit of being smart is that I have a chance to go to a better college or university.
Hard work is something learned through being challenged and if a child is not challenged in their early years of education they will typically slack off in their high school and college years when hard work becomes key to success. The intelligent person doesn't have to work as hard to succeed because they'll use their intelligence to make the right choices & see connections that lead them to successful conclusions. But they do still have to work. An intelligent but lazy person could end up being equal to a less intelligent but hard working person. In general: Hard work + Intelligence = Very good grades.
The new and improved curriculum might make you hope, for a lot of rainy days. Kids should be encourage to participate, but if they don’t do it voluntarily and for the enjoyment. It can become a miserable time and built up fear, and
Today’s students cheat for a variety of reasons. As students get older the pressure to get good grades and the pressure from friend’s increases leading them to cheat. Then some think that cheating is not a big deal or that it is not wrong. Schools and teachers should work together with students to help them feel more secure and to show them that cheating is not acceptable and that they will only be hurting themselves in the long run. Younger children believe that cheating is wrong but that it is acceptable in some instances.
