Document Summary

Hint: the questions will be organized about the concept of the child, family, and education. Family as a socializing institution it is very apparently, children take their cues not only from family but also from pop culture and the media. Over exposed to those socializing institution which will influence how children experience childhood. Parents are competing with pop culture and the media for the attention of their children. Start with a general statement and drill down into that statement by giving detail. The concept of the child/childhood is problematic /contested/has no stable hegemonic meaning/is a social construction/is fluid/flexible we have to prove why these statements are the case. The child was seen as valuable, they were seen as property, child labourers. Post world war era transformation of family. Man and woman married with children and developing a much more affectionate bond with the child. Seeing children as assets to be cared for, socialized, to be educated.
