    Arjun Nair We Raise Robots, Not Children “I felt it was better to take my life than to accept failure,” recalled Christine, a Harvard student who recently reported her suicide attempt to Harvard’s student newspaper, The Crimson. Christine toiled in high school to gain admission into Harvard, believing that an education at the prestigious institution would make her happy. Instead, the high pressure environment turned what she saw as failures into suicidal thoughts (Hatoff). This mental instability hides under the veil of many high achievers, who must hold themselves up to the ridiculous modern standards of success in order to feel any self-worth. Personal growth, which allows for creativity and a sense of direction, and relationships, which…

    People are shaped by the world. In today’s society, people are shaped through social media, surrounding environments, various religious views, and people’s personal worldviews and convictions. But where do these ideas come from? Why does one worldview differ from an opposing worldview, where do those morals come from? Robert Coles, a psychologist in the mid-nineteen hundreds, studied a few of these questions.…

The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind” (Patrick Rothfuss). Most characterize childhood as valuable, precious and peaceful, and in some cases, our childhood may determine whom we will grow to be. However, in the novel “Lullabies for Little Criminals”, Baby’s childhood can be seen as a loss of innocence, as it was corrupted into something unpleasant.…

    Throughout history, education has always played an important role in people’s lives. Education, or lack thereof, in many ways, shapes a person’s life and what they will become in society. Many people have argued over time on what the best form of education is and how it should be implemented. Harry Brighouse, in his book On Education, offers an argument that the central purpose of education should be to promote the flourishing of humans. While Brighouse does present a unique idea as to what the central purpose of education should be, his argument is impractical and not without its pitfalls.…

    Bronfenbrenner's bio-ecological model claims that human development happens through progressively complex, regular, reciprocal interaction between an active, evolving biopsychological individual, and the persons, objects, and resources within the immediate external environment (Bronfenbrenner, 1979; Bronfenbrenner & Evans, 2000). For children, the potential of health and personal development lies where they, and their parentages, can be meaningfully involved with one another and with other families for conjoint benefit. A child who is not being revived by being played with, and who has very few chances to explore things within their environs may fail to connect fully and this may lead to neural associations and pathways which are necessary…

    In better terms, I was drawn towards the topic of self-control, and how a child’s development of this process is truly important to how they will develop into a successful individual. This includes a child’s ability to obey commands using memory recall and integration into their own behavior, compliance, and delay of gratification. Intriguingly, the delay of gratification plays a large role into the development of self-control and impulsiveness. The text states that “young children’s capacity to delay gratification is influenced by both biologically based temperament and quality of caregiving” (Kochanska & Aksan, 2006; Kochanska & Knaack, 2003) and “toddlers who experience parental warmth and simple “as opposed to lengthy, detailed) statements that patiently redirect their behavior are more likely to be cooperative and resist temptation” (Blandon & Volling, 2008; Hakman & Sullivan, 2009). This brought to light the fact that learning these foundational skills as a child is essential in further developing these skills as an adult, as we can all honestly proclaim that we witness a significant amount of a lack of self-control and delay of gratification in grown adults on a daily basis.…
