They gain opinion and personality on what they hear and see. Not knowing any better, a child will naively believe what they are told, certain that it is true because they do not know better; it is part of life to learn that not everything one hears is accurate. Children are freshly exposed to life and must learn the ways of the world through their environment. If a child is told an extraordinary tale that would be seen as absurd in the minds of adults, said child may be willing to believe it despite obvious evidence against it—like Santa Clause. The holly, jolly, red-clad elf is a common story often told to children during the holiday season.
Christmas, or “the most wonderful time of the year,” makes us think of snow and gifts. However, with those enjoyable thoughts comes the frantic nature of seasonal advertising. As the winter months approach, consumers are flooded with commercials and advertisements urging them to spend their hard-earned money to make their family and friends happy. Due to their over-the-top marketing strategies, department stores will see about a forty percent increase in sales, while book store will see around a ninety-five percent increase. Retailers want consumers’ money, and will stop at nothing to get it.
Three- year old Raul frequently takes other children’s toys from them, showing little concern for their feeling, even when they cry. When he does this, his mother tells him to imagine how other kids feel when they lose their toys. To explain Raul’s antisocial behavior, I will use my understanding of cognitive development and research on cognitive development. His mother’s comment is unlikely to influence his behavior, because of his inability to perceive or understand the world from another’s perspective. This is called Egocentrism.
Even from a few months old they will smile and engage with their carer and by four months can vocalise by ‘babbling’ and ‘cooing’. From six months old an infant will become more interested in social interaction, although that depends on the amount of time spent with other children and his/hers personality, they will also have a fear of strangers and distress at the separation of a parent or carer. By the time they are nine months old an infant can recognise familiar and unfamiliar faces. From one year ‘temper tantrums’ may have begun. They become more demanding and assertive and can express rage at being told ‘no’, they have no idea of sharing and a strong sense of ‘mine’.
Normally during the last few days of school, kids put aside their work because they are excited for school to be done with. When they do that, they start getting low grades. Kids usually don't listen at this time of year. Without kids building up with excitement, they would been good leaders through the years. If kids have year-round school, they probably would keep their grades.
My Le Professor McNeil English 1101-113 6 October 2012 Paper 1 “Final Draft” The drive for a perfect lifestyle falsely pulls many people to America. Everyone views America as a place for freedom and prosperity. They come in search of the American dream but many just find a life full of greed.

"Who wants to hear a coming of age story? ", he said. The room itself almost groaned in opposition. He saw this as an excellent chance to have some fun . "Well it's the story or homework over the holidays" he said, turning to the board just in time to hide the smirk slowly climbing to his cheeks.
“The Pursuit of Happiness” suggests what we imagine occurrences and possessions that we believe would make us happy or unhappy. Then we even take that a step further by actually believing we fully realize what effect it would have on us and how we would react. The reality with this is, most of the time our beliefs are not even remotely close to what truly brings us genuine joy or despair. The same remains true in what feelings or reactions one would have with each situation. The article “Positive Psychology: The Science of Happiness”, on the other hand, states that
How many times have we fantasized about having a perfect life, and in that fantasy, we dreamt that we are extremely happy living that life? According to Daniel Gilbert, in his essay “Immune to Reality”, “because we ignore how our psychological immune system works, we cannot predict how happy our choices will make us”. Therefore, it gets us away from the perfect life that we wish so much. At the end, can we learn how to control the Psychological Immune System to achieve happiness in our life? We would be in a better standing position if we can take advantage of the knowledge how our psychological immune system works, identify what kind of happiness we want to experience, and recognize that we cannot be always happy.
They feel that they do not have time to take care of themselves, so they continue to hesitate between these two spaces. Thanks to research in Positive Psychology, we know that this way of approaching work, does not work as it is backwards. I believe if we can find a way of becoming positive in the present, then our brains work even more successfully, as we’re able to work harder, faster and more intelligent. 6) What are the implications or consequences of the speaker’s conclusions? The only issue I could think of would be people are not sure that this constant focus on happiness is healthy or desirable.
