Through Girl Scouts, these young girls are taught normative norms of girlhood, a blueprint for being a “normal” girl. “Girl Scouting is for YOU and every girl, everywhere! Girl Scouts of today become [the] leaders of tomorrow. Lead the life you always imagined! In Girl Scouts, you get to choose your own adventure as you develop your leadership skills, earn badges, hike, camp, sell cookies, and much more.
As a counselor, I would create relationships while at camp and continue talking to the freshman by reaching out to them. I know that one of my favorite things about camp was continuity because I also made new friendships later on in the semester that I am forever grateful for. My favorite event during
Much to the dismay of some of the adults, she cusses and walks, talks , and acts like a boy. I think it has something to do with her not growing up with a woman beside Calpurnia. She could care less what her Aunt says about her needing to be a girl, or anyone for the matter of fact. Being called a “girl” is something Scout hates because Mama, she has a quick temper, and gets into fights. Have you ever met a girl like that?
Scout is very obviously dedicated to her brother Jem. He often criticizes her for “Acting like a girl”. For this reason Scout grows up far away from the typical way daughters are raised. She plays outside in the dirt, dresses in overalls, and hates dressing like a typical lady. Scout’s very slight change into a lady is majorly affected by her own Aunt Alexandra.
Part of Scout growing up and maturing is realizing her identity as a woman. In the book, this theme is shown by having many feminine influences in her life. On the other hand, the movie excludes these characters. An example of this would include Aunt Alexandra. Other characters’ roles were minimized in Scout’s life, like Miss Maudie and Calpurnia.
When I was younger, doing Girl Scouts was something I took seriously, even if it seemed silly to me at the time. Every week we would plant flowers and take care of the garden at a local senior center for at least two hours. Girl
Scout is often found defying gender roles, so she’s very upset when Jem mocks her saying, “ Scout, I'm tellin’ you for the last time, shut your trap or go home- I declare to the Lord, your gettin’ more like a girl everyday!” (Lee 119). Scout then feels obligated to oblige in order to fit in . She then refrains from
Attending Camp Green Lake not only changes the mindset of these boys but it also develops their personality. This is important because teenage years are the most fun but also one of the most important in a person's life. It is the time when you discover yourself and choose what kind of person you want to be. You make a lot of mistakes as a teenager but the significant thing to do is to learn from them so you won’t repeat that mistake. Digging holes isn’t the only thing we do at Camp Green Lake.
Jem tells Scout she is acting like a girl multiple times throughout the story because of the way she “acts” when she is only a child. Stereotypes are a powerful concept, it is hard to interfere with one's beliefs for the better,
Have you ever seen a movie or documentary about children as young as five in places like Somalia, Chad, or Myanmar, killing innocent people, terrorizing, or even raping young girls?

JonBenet Ramsey, a stunning, bleach-blonde, green-eyed, six-year old beauty queen was found sexually assaulted, bashed in the head, strangled, and murdered in the basement of her own home on December 26, 1997. Pictures of Ramsey detailed with red lipstick, skintight dresses, and heels paraded the media portraying the young girl as a slain beauty queen. The murder resulted in a widespread panic from pageant families and created a negative impact on pageant entries. To this day Ramsey’s killer is unknown, but point made clear, JonBenet was manipulated into living an adult life at the expense of her own life. Society is now in a continuous battle of child beauty pageants being known as the new phenomenon or a fiery debate sparked between people all over the world.
There has been a lot of conversation about whether child beauty pageants are something we should be involving our children in. These types of pageants have recently been thrust into the public eye. There are movies, such as “Painted Babies at 17” and “Little Miss Sunshine”, and television shows, like “Toddlers and Tiaras” and “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo”, that show different views of pageants. These shows include everything from the children before the pageant to the contestants on stage and even to their temper tantrums back stage. Besides the entertainment industry, there has been talk about rules and laws concerning pageants.
Have you ever imagined growing up on a life of drugs, war, crime, and seeing things that many adults won’t dare to ever see? In many countries around the world, this is what many children have to deal with. There is an occurring issue of people across Africa and parts of Asia using children as soldiers in war. They act and take upon the roles of real combatants, causing the people of the public to act in different ways. It’s been well documented that these children have used guns and war tactics, and committed various illegal and illicit acts of violence.
Beauty Pageants are events which women and younger girls or boys compete in across the world but the most popular country for these pageants are USA. The age requirements start at 3 years for both girls and boys, I feel this is too young an age to start brainwashing them. Many critics claim that the beauty pageants place more emphasis on the physical aspects of the body and over look the other aspects. This is what causes these pageants to be so unhealthy for the younger children competing.
Scouting is one of the many activities that involve in many outdoors and life skills. People who want to become a scout have to make a commitment in being involved and participate in troop activities. But others think that scouts is just another thing that is not pertinent to do and getting badges for nothing. But that's not the problem!
