Infancy And Childhood Reflection

1.) The shows I chose to watch are shows that children usually don't grow out of or are attracted to at a younger and older age. The Simpsons, a classic comedy which draws the majority of us in with its realistic family and practical witt. The family goes through hardship,excitement, triumph and everyday experience that most families go through. 'Homer' the father of the family is employed by the power plant and is in constant battles to keep his job. 'Marge' the wife of the family is edgy or easily becomes paranoid, her main job is to be a stay at home mom, however she often goes out and tries to become more distinguished in society by working outside the home. She tries several times to get a job but often realizes she can't part with her family for those few hours a day. She is the basic prototype of every average American mother. 'Bart' the families son is a brat, of course being the boy of the family they make him out to be the trouble maker mainly because most families direct evidence of mischief to the boy because they are more curiouse or perhaps more unaware of the consequences which come along with right and wrong actions but they may also simply not care. Bart vandalizes things, humiliates several members of the schools faculty, steals items from stores and dis-respects his parents. All this seems quit bad for a children show but Barts softer side does come around once in awhile, for every wrong thing he does it later shows his guilt and the punishments that come along with misbehaving. 'Lisa' the families most prevailed member of the family, is of a much higher intelligence then the rest of the family and is not blind of her families social class and immmature behaviour excluding Marge. Lisa, however still loves her family and even though they irritate and ignore or fail to notice her natural talent and integrity she knows this is who they are and she most except this. 'Maggie' is an insignificant character shes

    Opponents may assert that Lisa Simpson would not fit the role of a president because she comes from a family that is troubled and without purpose. Specially her father, Homer Simpson and Brother Bart, who have brought quite a trouble to her life. Although, their reckless actions have been a challenge they have not affected Lisa, she has learned how to handle the situations. Past all the troubles, Lisa differentiates from her family in many different ways, such as being mature, outgoing and observant. While growing up with her family, she noticed what was wrong and was invariably looking after Bart and Homer to help them out. Although she faced challenges and troubles she learned how to become a leader and look out for others. In despite of this reputation upon family it's clear that looking after them has helped her become the complete opposite. This taught her and helped her mature at a young age. It also additionally shows us that she is effective under challenging circumstances. Lisa’s family has helped her strengthen up and become a…

    The Simpsons Satire

    The Simpsons are one of the longest running and most popular television shows. This popularity exists because "the Simpsons [have] always operated on two levels. On one level appealing to children as a fast paced cartoon and then for the older audiences for its wit and [satire]" (Batscha). Satire is the common thread with binds all of The Simpsons episodes. The writers show the absurdity in ordinary everyday situations including religion, politics and other social issues. This has been the leading cause for its controversy and longevity. However, the Simpsons' crude style is necessary and meant to induce anger. The public school system is one of the most common targets of satire.…

    Long running animated comedy The Simpsons is known for making its audience laugh at the outrageous antics of its larger than life characters. However, The Simpsons does more than just make us laugh.

That assumption could be made of many animated programs. However, those non-viewers are likely unaware that The Simpsons is a very cleverly written show. The humor in the show is written with various aspects that appeal to different segments of the audience. The characters are written in such a way that many people can relate to one or more of the characters. These factors allow the program to appeal to the large segments of the public in different ways.…

However, our mind’s collection of varying perspectives is not set in stone; they are constantly changing as we grow older and experience new things. Throughout my brief time on this earth, my immature childhood perspectives based on my parents’ experience-based views have been molded into adult like perspectives, backed with my own personal experiences.…

    Debbie has grown so much in the last few months. She has achieved some milestones that are predominantly seen amongst infants within this age brackets. Breast milk is still her main source of food up on till the time she clocked six months of age when solids were introduced. She sucks at everything that touches her lips; this is due to the sucking reflex that is inborn. My virtual child ate fairly well; she would once in a while vomit the food if she didn’t burp. Her motor development is consistently being tweaked as she’s able to coordinate her pass objects from one hand to another. She occasionally paddles and kicks in sort of a swimming motion. Sleep is somewhat troubling because she wakes up at night to feed and she fusses occasionally for no reasons.…

    I decided to do my qualitative paper on “How involved are fathers in interacting with their children” I went to the local mall on a Sunday, knowing that families are more likely to take a trip here on a weekend oppose to weekdays as parents may be at work and children may be home or at school.

    In eleventh grade, my AVID teacher Mrs. Jara assigned the class to complete a learning service project, in which one was to give back to the community by completing twenty hours of volunteer hours. At first, I was stumped of how I could give back to Stockton, my community, in a meaningful way since this city was impoverished and filled with crime. Thinking back to my previous research paper on poverty, I remembered that education was the key in determining whether one was living below or above the poverty threshold. At my educational level, I decided to assist toddlers early in their educational career, and thus, I volunteered at the Hazel Hill Child Development Center at San Joaquin Delta College for my service learning project. Exceeding…

    The only experience that I’ve have with observation is the past other than observing my own children was when I was working at a daycare. I started working there during high school and continued to work there for a while after I had graduated. Since this was an after school job, I was never in a permanent room until summer. This was when I was placed in charge of about fifteen children from the ages three to four. I was there from 8 to 6 every day. During this time was when I actually got to observe and watch these children and their behaviors.…
