The objective is to create a park that is inclusive and encourages each and every individual to want to play in that particular environment, and enjoy it (p.1). For this reason, ...

Group Interaction

Group C interaction involved a discussion of the videos, The Politics of Sociology and Planning a Playground. The group interaction, however, faced different challenges as the group lacked cohesion. The lack of cohesion was mainly because of poor communication amongst group members. Consequently, some group members were not fully prepared for the discussion. The issue of preparedness was, however, countered by allowing discussion of ideas by members who had already prepared in advance; therefore, allow the unprepared members time to compose their ideas. Due to issues of unpreparedness, there was unequal participation in the group. Two or three group ...

Persons with special needs are often overlooked in our society. For a long time this population was viewed negatively, often under the strict impression that they were incapable of contributing meaningfully to society. They were destined to be dependents of the state or forever inclined to charitable contribution. They were often segregated from society in institutions, incapable of ever learning how to function in the greater whole. One such area in which their neglect was especially great was in recreation. Often times play areas do not illicit feelings of joy among the special needs population because of their unadaptable ...

In fact, a toy is an adapted projection of the real things. It has almost the same meaning as any "adult" thing does, but thanks to its entertaining nature, it is also able to correct and explain the necessary information. Humankind has been using toys for thousands of years, so it has long been known that a formation of child's mind begins with toys. ...

The study is based on a comprehensive observation of the interaction between various parents and their children in a playground.

In the playground, for an ...

Introduction

In 2006, an apartment complex that included a playground was built on a piece of land that was the site of a metal processing plant that operated between 1930’s and 1950’s before going out of business. Due the above reason, the land had to be assessed for any carcinogenic heavy metals.

It was a sunny morning in early September, and I was travelling by bus, heading for my new school. It would be an understatement to say that I was somewhat apprehensive. My previous school had been much closer to home, so even this bus trip was new. But now I was heading for an entirely new school environment where I had no existing friends, and where all the teachers were as yet strangers to me. I found myself feeling increasing anxiety as the school buildings drew nearer, because I was not wearing the school uniform.
That uniform was a major ...

Discussion Analysis

The intent of the discussion was not very clear because not all of the group members were prepared for it. Most of them manifested that even if they read about what the topic, they did not think about it, nor about what they agreed or disagreed. They simply "prepared" themselves by knowing about it, but they did not analyse it. Two members who were very well prepared and enthusiastic about it were the ones taking a leading attitude in the discussion. The rest seemed that they just knew about it, but they were hoping the rest would do the ...

When I approached the group, I realized that they suddenly changed the topic and then attempted to hide something that they ...

The book is majorly focused on the relationship of structure of the education system followed by the Japanese and the moral values instilled in the structure aimed at defining primarily the training of children in a group life perception. I would agree that preschools can influence the outcome personalities of kids in school. The Japanese are agreeably a group-oriented people.
The Japanese two-year-olds are said to be dependent, undisciplined, and indulged kids, but by the oldness of six they have developed respect, cooperativeness, and self-reliance in their community. In this book, Lois Peak step by step, tries to prove the ...
