In my opinion, childhood is an endangered concept in our society. The notion it “takes a whole village to raise a child” is rapidly declining the way I see it, though child molestation and pediphilia have been around for decades, the fact is we can no longer trust everyone in our “village” to raise our […]

In today’s society, child thinks about sexuality in much different way. For example, they will keep asking their parent or teacher about their body system and where is the body come from and we need to explain the answer in a right way to our children, and make sure they understand it.

Sexuality- In terms of childhood and sexuality, in today’s society i feel that there’s a a significant urge to grow up even quicker. As children we are all curious about sex.

I feel that the prevailing attitude toward childhood today, especially on the part of teachers and parents, is one of ambivalence.

I believe childhood has been in existence since the development of the idea of the adult. The two go hand in hand with each other. It is like there can’t be day without night and there can’t be right without wrong. Child hood is a very broad term. There can be the fun part, the […]

Childhood is very much alive in the United States today. First off, I would like to classify childhood as anyone that is not legally an adult since this is the only objective way of defining the term for my argument. Under the law, adults and minors are treated differently and held to different standards. 1) […]
