Gracey And Kingsolver: A Comparative Analysis

The most influential agent of socialization I the family. In this chapter this is shown, generally the kids in “street” families had the tendency to act similar to their parents. “The kind of home he comes from influences but does not determine the way he will ultimately turnout,” (105). The kids would be quick to hit someone else if they did not get their way, they would yell and argue in very unorderly fashions, just like they had seen their parents do or other adults they had been surrounded by. Aside from family peers are also a strong agent of socialization, especially in a system like this in which children are raised through accomplishment of natural growth, in which they are surrounded by other children in all their free time and often times children not in their age group. “Younger children witness the disputes of older children which are often resolved through cursing and abusive talk, if not aggression or out-right violence.,” (105) This socialization of children by their elders who are living by the “code of the streets,” creates a continuation of the code. Not every child that grows up learning this as a way of life will ultimately end up continuing to live by this code but enough do continue to live this way that this

Society has clearly defined boundaries between what is considered to be male or female. The development of an individual’s gender role is formed by interactions with those in close proximity.

Social pedagogy refers to the upbringing of a child or young person in a more holistic fashion, viewing them as a whole person. Social pedagogy aims to support positive outcomes for children and young people because it is concerned with the child or young person developing holistically in a number of areas. It puts emphasis on teamwork; other practitioners and members of the wider community can help to raise and teach the child or young person too. For example, teachers teach children and young people facts that they wouldn 't necessarily learn at home and the environment is different so they also learn about social skills and how to be a part of a big

Gender is something that is brought to the attention of people well before people are even brought into the world. Take for instance, when a woman finds out that she is pregnant and is about to have a child. The first question that that women is asked is “What are you having?” In doing this we are automatically emphasizing the importance of being able to identify whether or not to buy “boy” things or “girl” things. As a society we deem it important for each sex to practice a set of “norms” of how to behave via that sex. As a man, you are supposed to be dominant, strong, hardworking, provider, and the bread winner. As a woman, you are supposed to be submissive, weak, docile, and nurture. But where and when do these norms on how to behave

Being pressured into conventional roles today is less common than back in the 40’s and 50’s when society had nothing but conforming roles for men and women in society. examples of this come from how men and women were brought up, culture and media. If it were not for these three factors gender roles would be farfetched. But unfortunately, there is still this pressure of gender roles and one way or another everyone has to make the decision of whoever they want to be and live with those roles. In this essay culture, media and how both men and women being raised affect gender roles and socialization.

Children and young adults are identifying with gender roles at a young age due to mass media. Children develop within a society that is gender-specific when it comes to social and behavioral norms. These come from the family’s structure, how they play with others and by themselves, and school.

Parents do not need to change how they raise their kids because it is not very natural to be that way with girls. The Debate of “Are we raising sexist boys?” states that a young girl got mocked by a boy because she wanted to pursue a football career, and play for the school. Jane McManus is the parent; she is a reporter at ESPN. She wrote an article and people are speaking out about the situation. We Should not change how we raise our boys, because not every boy is the same way. In many High Schools there are gender neutral sports, such as: football, wrestling, and cheerleading.

Alexander and Entwisle, two sociologist planned to study how children navigate one of life’s first major transitions, from home to school. They wanted to follow them from first grade into second. Their research was called, “Beginning School Study”. Alexander and Entwisle did not set out to follow these children for what would become whole careers and lives. This research was conduct for a quarter-century. Most sociologists back then, were interested in teenagers. Alexander and Entwisle believed that researching first grander creates context of the early years and that it was crucial for everything that comes next-or that could learn much about it by asking children themselves. Another part of their research was studying Baltimore itself. How it appeared to researchers and their subjects, to children and the adults they would later become.

All the people in the tons attitudes had changed the next day because all the non Indigenous people had complained about Gracey getting lots of travel expenses and items for free. I think that the next day when Mr Jenkins said this he was trying to say that if Gracie wants to get anywhere in life as an aboriginal she needs to fight for her rights and stand up for herself against the white people in the little town of Cunningham. I think Mr Jenkins said this to give her an important message saying that life will be hard. “do you understand” (J. Moloney, pg 22 ) I think that in this situation, Mr Jenkins knows that there is a risk of Gracey not being able to compete or have the gear needed for the big trip to Brisbane.

Jean Piaget, known for his interest in the Epistemology in children is seen as the pioneer of Developmental Psychology. Piaget 's Cognitive development theory led to a great deal of research work in the field of educational philosophy . But in the discipline of Psychology, every theory has been faced with a counter theory or an alternative. So is the case with Piaget 's theory. Lev Vygotsky, a soviet psychologist came up with the socio-cultural theory, which is another strong theory emphasizing child development and is seen as a major counter theory to Piaget 's work (Saul McLeod, 2004). Theories of these two cognitive psychologists have been compared and contrasted on different levels. This essay will look into the differences and similarities between their theories.

Single-Gender Schools Should not be Tolerated in this Day and Age. Single gender schools affects are gender stereotyping, inability to work with the opposite gender, and inhabits opportunities for the different genders to learn from each other (Elliot, 2016).
