Bowlby believed that attachments are natural and adaptive. He also believed that we are all born with an inherited need to form attachments and this is to help us survive. This can also line up with Darwin’s theory of natural selection, which explains that any behaviour that helps us to survive to maturity and reproduce will be maintained in the gene pool. For example; a baby relies on its mother for food and care etc and without the mother the baby would be helpless. Babies have social releaser which unlocks the innate tendency for adults to care for them; these are both physical and behavioural social releasers.
She was very rude to him and would not even speak to him. It was not until Derek finally cracked and had told his mother that Morso was the only reason he was still alive and he was the one person that was always there for him and he was like family to Derek, that she realised there was nothing bad about Morso. The thing that made it the hardest was when his mother sent them to school almost as soon as they had returned. They were not ready for school or anything like that, it was even hard for them to try and socialise with new people. Derek and Morso’s lives had been so unstructed, that the common school setting was not appropriate for them.

Discus the influence of social contexts on gender (for example the influences of parents and the media) (24 marks) Gender refers to the culturally constructed differences between masculinity and femininity. The social learning theory, also known as the behaviourist approach, proposes that we learn gender appropriate behaviours through socialization and upbringing. In this essay I shall be discussing Bandura’s social learning theory and the influences of parents and the media on gender development. Walters and Bandura created the Social learning theory in order to explain how our social environment is the main factor which steers our gender development. The two important ways that we learn gender role behaviours is through operant conditioning and modelling.
After divorce, childhood is different. Whether the final outcome is good or bad, the whole trajectory of an individual's life is profoundly altered by the divorce experience.

No one wants to be seen as weak or a failure and be taken advantage of, that’s why people have their guards up. Things Fall Apart tells a story of a stubborn man (Okonkwo) responding to change. In Chinua Achebe’s book Things Fall Apart, he reveals Okonkwo’s fear of failure and of weakness. Okonkwo, with a deep insecurity of being like his father, known to be a poor, unsuccessful man and a failure in his society, gives his best to be successful and nothing else. Okonkwo passionately works hard to be at the top as a respected man (which he achieves) and the complete opposite of his disappointing father.
Where the mother only wants the absolute best for her son, when the son just wants to 'be'.

The mother tries to motivate her son by threating him with "[...] no baseball practice[...]" , which obviously the child loves. Wilson's character compared to Millar's character are very different but yet the same. Even knowing that Wilson's character is extremely pushy with her child she still gives the respect by wanting the son to be something in
The stories of Mary Poppins and Peter Pan have a recurring theme of family structure. In both stories, the children are constantly tested without the parent/child relationship. In Peter Pan, the father figure is nonexistent, which plays a large role in the stories plot, as well as character development. The Lost Boys in Peter Pan do not have a father figure in their life. Because of this, their world suffers a great deal of pain and despair.
