Feral children are children who are raised away from any human interaction.Feral children, sometimes called wild children, are the kids that grow up without any human interaction.

However, being isolated from society can also cause
Identity is one’s self. The identity determines how an individual treats their everyday life. From their attitude, to how they address social situations, and how well the individual can function going through the daily routines that most productive members of society follow. This identity decides how smooth the process of just living really is. Throughout Don Quixote the man struggles with identity.

Children who are assumed have been raised by animals, in the wilderness, isolated from humans are called feral children. The reason why I chose developmentally disabled is because of the correlation related the wilderness environment described, and some people may assume that those conditions are part of a disabling environment, which refers to environments that are harmful to health. If it is harmful or not is outside the question, even if some people may consider a feral child to be developmentally

While watching this documentary on feral children I was shocked that this was an actual concept. I have never heard anything about this before until now. I was very interested in the documentary and the different concepts it covered. Personally, my main thought about the topic was that this can’t be an actual thing. Once I got farther into the topic my thoughts turned as they show you the different cases. You saw the way the children acted in each case and how each case was different yet similar

There are several methods for conducting research, and one particular quantitative/qualitative method is the case study. This paper tries to expose advantages and disadvantages of using such a method to conduct scientific research. Furthermore, this piece of writing will identify and consider certain characteristics of a case study.
