Document Summary
Chapter 1: the science: plato (428-348 bc) argued that children are born with innate knowledge and that experience could not be the source of knowledge because human senses are too fallible. It is concerned with establishing causes and with predicting events or behaviours: the industrial revolution was primarily the switch from agriculture base economy to factory based economy that took place in the mid-18th century. In this time as soon as children no longer needed parenting (e. g. 5-6 years old) they began to work. Prior to the industrial revolution this meant that they worked in the home and the fields, after the industrial revolution, though, this left children working dangerous jobs in factories resulting in many of them being maimed and killed. This theory was eventually discarded: the ethological theory is a biological theory that gives greater weight to experience.
