Sometimes when I feel sad, Kenzo is the only one who puts smile on my face. I think that dog is a human best friend. By having an animal, we actually are learning how to care about someone. I think that everyone should have a pet, especially families who have children. Moreover, looking at Mr. Brown’s video made my think about my own childhood and the games I used to play and it also made me think about how games have changed through the years. I knew that playing is important for the kids, but I never thought that it can actually improve our survival skills, and the ways we live our lives. The video fascinated me and made me think about how playing is actually the key for growing up and becoming a person we are today. From my point of view, I agree with him completely. When I look back at my childhood and the games I used to play (building three houses, playing hide and go seek, playing with Barbie dolls, cooking in the sand and pretending that we were making cookies from sand), they look way different from the games today’s kids play. My parents often spoke to me about their childhood and how their games were making mud castles, pushing a wheel down the street with a stick, etc. As our culture, playing also changed during the years.

Brown. The point of this video is that the playing is really important for all the living beings. The play enriches our lives. We have been playing since we were infants, today we still play, and that we should never stop playing. When I think about the children and the war play I need to say that I am incredibly surprised how time changed in the past few years. When I was a child, there was no such violence between children neither violent
Sometimes it is all I can think about. It is all I want, all I need. The feeling of euphoria it gives me is incredible. If you are wondering what I am talking about I will explain, but be warned this may not be to your liking.
Unlike some of the more dated articles, this article is recent and takes into account some of the past findings about theories of play. As a limitation, the authors stated that instead of just focusing on one small population, it may be helpful to explore the life circumstances of other marginalized groups, such as African American, and observe the differences between those groups with relation to Mexicans who have migrated to the United States. Overall, I think the authors tried to tackle too many things in their research. For example, the authors talked about the use of play in learning English and gender differences in play. For the sample size, it would have been helpful to only focus on one aspect of play instead of formulating three hypotheses and expecting a sample size of 41 students to answer such complex
Play is a wonderful asset for our children and can benefit them in many ways: physical, language, self-concept, and social development are four examples of the different areas that massively impact a child’s development. The different play...
After reading “The Mind of Those who Kill, and Kill Themselves” by Erica Good. It is descrived, how someone can good from a cherfull person to a violent one.

My name is Robert Martin, and I only have one thing to say: it wasn’t me. Sure, I usually had to fire a couple of shots at the people in the banks to get them to keep quiet, however it was Reynold who was the real beast, both during our heists and after them. When the cops showed up that one day, Reynold figured that he was better off a fugitive. I had creased out the part of my memory that told me he was a cold-blooded barbarian who had killed before and would gleefully kill once more. As I stood at the door to the bank, acting as a guard, I felt a sudden rush against my side. The next thing I knew, I was on the ground, and a cop was on top of me, holding
on a very good morning with a shiny bright sun up in the sky and birds singing on the tree, I was there standing in a middle of the field and get ready to set up my bow for a shooting. While I was busy preparing my bow, my friend Sara came and get me with a smile on her face. She then ask me if I'm free to hear her story.
Vivian makes a comment about how originally, the title of her book was going to be “The Endangered Occupation”, because play is a “serious and necessary occupation of children.” (“The Importance of...” 122) She then goes on to talk about how when she was growing up, there certainly was no other serious occupation for the youth but to play. As our book discusses frequently, with the changing times, technology has taken over a majority of our daily interactions, and unfortunately, children’s play has certainly become one of them. As a result of technology such as video games and the internet, active play and healthier diets are emerging as major issues correlated with health concerns. (“Play and Child Development” 22) In another part of Vivian’s interview, she mentions how the neurologist Sigmund Freud considered our human life force to be made up of work and love, in equal measure. A better formula for children would be something along the lines of “play, with a mixture of love, equals life.” Although we do see play as children’s work, parents and caregivers absolutely play an essential role in their development and how they see play in either a positive or negative
Who defines what play is? Reed and Brown suggest that play is something that is felt (2000, as cited in Jarvis et al, 2009), whereas Piaget (1962), Bruner (1974), and Vygotsky (1978) saw play as “a means for learning” (ibid). Play is what we do in our spare time and it is generally fun; the element of fun is what keeps us engaged. This essay will discuss the forms of play and its relevance and will mainly focus on 3-6 year old children but may refer to ‘us’ or ‘we’ as people (infants, children and adults) on occasion.
Have you ever witness violence? Well, I have. I am going to tell you how violence affected my life, what are some causes of violence, and what I can do about violence.
Roopnarine (2011) argued play is defined as both culturally framed and unframed activities that are considered under the ‘playfulness '. On the other hand, some people argued play should be seen as a form of cultural expression and that people 's participation in play will differ across cultures due to their responsibilities rather than their abilities. Different people have various points of view towards play. The play
“Have a great day at work!” Michele proclaimed as I walked out of the front door and felt the brisk air as it blew onto my skin. I remember the sound of birds chirping as I made my way to my car. I started my car and begin listening to Queen as I began my commute. I pull up to my spot in the parking garage and walk to my office. Many people stopped and said,”Hello!” on my journey. As I sat down at my desk, the telephone began to ring.
Many theorists have discussed the importance of play in relation to children’s development. Lev Vygotsky regarded play as a major component for leading development in the early years similarly Jean Piaget theorised that children learn best by play (K Aronsson).
Michael Sanders, a Professor at Harvard University, gave a lecture titled “Justice: What’s The Right Thing To Do? The Moral Side of Murder” to nearly a thousand student’s in attendance. The lecture touched on two contrasting philosophies of morality. The first philosophy of morality discussed in the lecture is called Consequentialism. This is the view that "the consequences of one 's conduct are the ultimate basis for any judgment about the rightness or wrongness of that conduct.” (Consequentialism) This type of moral thinking became known as utilitarianism and was formulated by Jeremy Bentham who basically argues that the most moral thing to do is to bring the greatest amount of happiness to the greatest number of people possible.
It proves that video games are steadily becoming more tolerated among the society and more entertaining for adults which makes way for a new type of family interaction.
The researcher also added that all pedagogical with strategies will enhances the teaching and learning through play. A ‘well planned’ and ‘structured’ play can have different meanings and it depends on how it is interpreted in practice. Researcher Meckley (2002) identifies the definition of Garvey’s theory about the link of characteristic play. The definition of Garvey’s theory explains that play should have a link of a meaningful purpose with the inner and outer world. The framework of Meckley’s defines the complexities, diversity and the unpredictable play which provides the ‘ideal’ conceptions of what is play and what it does for the child. Teachers of this field should take account on the nature of play which focuses on the needs, interest and preferences of children of different ages.
