    Spanking as a Changing Norm

    In ancient Greek and Roman societies, child behavior disorders were believed to be ““a result of imbalance, and children with handicaps, disabilities or deformities were viewed as sources of economic burden and/or social embarrassment.”” With this being said, these children were usually ““scorned, abandoned or put to death.”” This mistreatment continued on into the Middle Ages. In colonial America, ““as many as two-thirds of all children died prior to the age of five years, and those who survived continued to be subjected to harsh treatment by adults (Mash & Barkley).””…

    what do sociologists mean by society

    The simplest way of describing what society is – a group of people who share a defined territory or culture. This is people who live amongst each other but people usually stereotype different parts of society. A typical sociologist will explain this further by saying that it is also the social structure and interactions of a person/group of people. Social structure is the patterns of behaviour and relationships within one specific group of people. Therefore the theory that one type of sociologist will put forward is that society is not just people and the cultures that they have amongst the community, but it is also peoples relationships and interactions that go on between the community which build up a society.…

    Wild Child

    Wild Child

    From the diaries of Jean-Marc-Gaspard Itard, The Wild Child is a movie made in 1970, with a setting in France from the18th century, and based on a child who had lived in nature his whole life without any human contact. Itard, a well known French doctor for working with deaf-mutes, had taken in this feral child under his care for the purposes of his studies on the child's intellectual and social education. Given the time period of the movie Itard had taken the "wild-child" in under his own care, and helped teach the child to be more civilized, even though he went against the beliefs of how mentally retarded children were to be taken care of during the 18th century. Although most of the medical doctors who had been in contact with the feral child felt that he, who could not speak, and exhibited violent behavior to others, was mentally retarded and proved to have no hope for becoming civilized. Itard had proven them wrong using both positive and negative reinforcement techniques that helped the "wild-child" improve drastically and become more civilized. Having the ability to teach a mentally retarded child who had not been exposed to civilization was one of the main messages of both the movie and also one of Itard's main goals. Although succeeding at many techniques that he had done with the "wild-child" ranging from identifying everyday objects, dressing on his own, writing words, to spelling words, he still believed he was unsuccessful due to the fact that the child had not been able to speak more than one word. The way Itard had taken care of this "wild-child" may not be valid according to today's society, but during the 18th century Itard had done more than expected for this mentally retarded child. "In the early 1800's education was primarily given to the wealthy Anglo-Saxon children, and…

    Nagel Meaning Of Consciousness

    A self-awareness created by a sense of being ourselves from an in-depth and inherent comprehension of who we are, is done at the mind level. The mind is one that directs the body, and its senses. Awaking our senses lead to experiences that animals have. These senses and experiences is through a transformation of the conscious to the physical and observable nature of an organism. Thus our true nature and self is a by-product of our consciousness, this is further noted by Nagel (436) who states: ‘I do not deny that conscious mental states and events cause behavior.’…

    A Little History Of Philosophy By Nigel Warburton

    The definition of society according to the merriam-webster dictionary is: people in general thought of as living together in organized communities with shared laws, traditions, and values. In A Little History of Philosophy Warburton talks about Immanuel Kant who has two philosophies, one about they way we think and how it's impacted by society and the other about human morality. He states “We know, for example, that lemons tastes bitter but only through having tastes them )or because someone else tells us about their experience of tasting lemons). it isn’t true by definition that lemons taste bitter - that is something that is learnt through experience.” Kant’s example states that lemons may not be bitter but the fact that we have heard from others that they are our brain thinks that every lemon tastes sour. This shows the impact that society, the people in our communities, have on the way we think. Kant also uses the example of how all cats have tails, however, not all cats do infact have…
