Childhood Week 2 - Is childhood improving?

This week we look at whether childhood is better now than before, or whether we are placing greater controls to the detriment of young people.  Don't forget to bring a summarised news article from this week on childhood.  We will be discussing and applying theory to it.

Childhood as a social construct

We are looking at the idea that childhood is not necessarily the same for everyone, and where you come from, and the time you were a 'child' impacts massively on your experiences. In addition to the video, please access the stats on domestic violence on last weeks blog page - you will need them (hint hint nudge nudge)

Changing gender roles?

Questions to consider when watching the video - we will explore these in class.

• What impact could increased diversity have on the family, especially children?
• To what extent have women gained quality within the household?
• What positive impact might an additional income have on family life?

Please ensure you bring your notes to your class.
