Eric Schlosser's "Fast Food Nation": Critical Analysis Based Upon Thoman And Freire's Opinions
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Critically analyzing Eric Schlosser's "Fast Food Nation" based upon the opinions of Thoman and Freire enables one to better understand the extent to which Schlosser's concept is adopted – sometimes subtly, other times more obviously – throughout the vastness of academic psychology. Clearly, the fundamental purpose of Schlosser's book is to illustrate how homogenized society has become in direct relation to the fast food mentality; as such, contemporary education has been unwittingly drawn into the downward spiral of this existence, serving to deny students the ability to apply self-determination rather than coercion, intentionality rather than reaction, creativity rather than homogeneity and rationality rather than chance. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Erik Erikson / Implications For Infant And Toddler Care-Givers
[ send me this essay ]
This 10 page paper discusses Erikson's theories regarding psycho-social development and play. Like many personality theorists, Erikson believed that the child must progress through these stages in order to develop a healthy personality. Failure to resolve the inherent conflicts in any stage leads to emotional and personality problems at a later time. Play, being the infant and toddler's primary activity is also critical to the development of the individual's personality. Different kinds of play are explained. Finally, the implications of these theories for care-givers (or parents) are discussed. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
