Environment/results

[dogsbody70]

The discussion on japanese womens rights has spread to the way we bring our children up/ have a fulltime career


What actually is the result of environments where we were all brought up.


I am a strong believer in- that our childhood experiences last all through our lives and have repercussion or Benefits from our experiences through childhood.


I do believe that where we live is part of it.

Do we live in huge council estates or in the suburbs where possibly we may mix with different class of people.


Are we in a remote village--?

In a busy city or town where parents have to fight to get placements in a good school-- as is happening nowadays.


where we live at specific times can affect us I believe-- those we mix with, whether we have decent parents who do their best to socialise and teach us how we should behave. What encouragement we have had as a child and young person.

whether in big ESTATES where most youngsters hang around, with not enough to keep them occupied so they get up to mischief.

whether we are an only child-- who is spoiled-- or encouraged to do things sample the opportunities out there by partaking and joining in clubs-- learning to play sport, dance, play instruments---do various activities apart from school time.


Learning to mix with children from all races. some areas are really multi- cultural where more remote areas may not see many from other ethnic groups in society.


The place we grew or grow up has an influence on us in many ways-- the friends we made or lost.


HOw do you think your own child hood environment affected you an dmade you as you are-- or a general view about our Environment and its influence.?


Why do we have youths with knives here in the UK-- when it would have been unheard of not so long ago.


things are changing so fast-------- are we doing our best for our own children-------

Are parents getting sufficient help plus incentive to get out into the work place.


The benefit system will be changing- so hopefully less benefit cheats.


any thoughts on ENVIRONMENT and its effects.

An intresting argument!

Is it how you are bought up or where?

Nature or nurture?

[dogsbody70]

well yes Nature and nurture but primarily WHere YOU LIVE or lived as you were growing UP.

Your environment and the influences around you.

I recommend a book titled "Affluenza" that you might find interesting.

Basically the premise of the book is that we in the west have never had it so good in terms of health and technology yet we are the more unhappy than we were in the 1950's

It seeks to find out why and concludes consumerism and materialistic attitudes are to blame.

Anyway.. here's a video you might enjoy dogsbody. It sort of represents how I feel about society today.

HI roni, he certainly is hilarious and much of what he says is true although not sure of the relevance here.

I thought this one was clever. thanks.

[Suki]

So yeah, the social environment in which you grow up influence your life and the person you grow up to be. I think everyone agrees on that, what's there to be discussed?

xDDD That was a laugh. Actually I used to be really excited the whole time of the flight when I wasn't used to flying on airplanes. It's what he says, I couldn't stop thinking "Geez I am sitting in a chair in the sky and I am flying at super fast speed!!!" But yeah, I couldn't agree more about everything he says. I mean, the whole thing with phones nowadays? Okay, you have an effin' I-something and it takes pictues and has an all-time internet access. So what? People actually think they can't do without any of this shit. It's so sad. I hate to see society becoming so high-tech obsessed.

[dogsbody70]

whats not to discuss.

Our environment moulds us-- so why not talk about that.


Would you be who you are if brought up in a different environment.

[dogsbody70]

fair enough ROBIN.


the thing is that when we see the results of certain environments have on us all would we want to have changed that?


It doesn't have to be personal.


I am definitely the person I am because of my childhood circumstances.


I hav led a long life since then but growing up through a WAR for a start has maybe some positive or perhaps cynical or critical view on life. Not having security also had an effect.


One thing-- when babies or children are adopted from another country-- often a country that is very poor-- then a celebrity comes along such as Madonna and takes a child from its own family--


when a child forgets its former life and background how hard will it be for that child as it gets older and if the adopter has not helped keep the childs natural history and parentage in the foreground-- or later when the mature person wishes to find his or her original family then finds the poverty or totally different way of life.

will that child be glad he or she was taken into modern society for a better life! Maybe he/she will wish to go back to original home and if help is needed in its own country-- perhaps become involved.

I recently heard a Vietnamese born girl who had been adopted into the UK.

she is happy that she went to a good English Home but now wishes to help make a difference in her own country of Vietnam.

the environments would both be so different.


I think that where you live as a child can make or mar you. Is it in the lap of the GODS.


personally I dislike celebrities taking children because I do not trust that they will really care for those adopted children.
