Born to be Mild
In the reading, “Born to be Mild” we learn about the different theories based on the way a child learns his mentality and how he differentiates between good and bad. Arber Tasimi believes we underestimate the extent of knowledge a small child has that does not have to be taught. He believes children are one of the most powerful muses when studying development because they are new to everything and have not had the chance to really be corrupted by the society they are surrounded by. Furthermore, researchers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Thomas Hobbes believed children are born to care about people, they know good and bad, and they are natural helpers aiding the distressed.
I think this entire
reading just further proves everything we are currently learning in class. Though we learn more about the fact that experiences, culture, families, and the way a society is set up all have great impacts on how and when a child develops. The article says children are born with the knowledge of good and bad. I believe they are capable of seeing good and bad, they have emotions and they have seen sadness and happiness on faces, so I believe that by watching the puppet show just by the mood shifts they can connect the bad and good scenes. A child acts on how he feels. And they like feeling happy so he will choose whatever connects to the positivity they felt. It is amazing that this concept cannot be taught and yet it is so easily obtained. The reading also talks about children and their need to aid someone who they see is even the slightest distressed, it states, “They are natural helpers, aiding distressed others at a cost to themselves.” It’s extraordinary how oblivious we are to what a child is constantly picking up. Everything is connected between the reading and our class curriculum, all around we are learning and following the consistent development of a child’s mentality and I am seeing how important little things can be because they have huge effects. “no seasoned parent can believe that nurture doesn’t make a difference, or that nature trumps all.” In both the article and class we are analyzing the balance between both.
