Personal Interest Project
I saw an ad on TV about primary school education and it had me wondering about how specific types of books impact children’s thoughts on the world around them. This is why I have chosen Childhood development as my general area of interest for my PIP. Specifically, I have decided to inquire into the impact of fairytales on the intellectual development of children. Intellectual development refers to the growth of children in a way that their brain becomes more and more capable of analysing understanding and evaluating concepts to make sense out of the world around them. A fairytale refers to a children's story about magical and imaginary beings and lands. Therefore, I will explore the way that stories, such as Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella, impact the development of a child’s thoughts on the world around them, targeting both male & female children. For instance, I am curious as to why some children feel that every old lady around them was “the wicked witch” after reading a specific fairytale.
Secondly, there are nine fundamental course concepts in the society and culture course. These concepts are Persons, Society, Culture, environment, gender, time, technology, power and authority. However, in my topic’s case, the concepts centered are culture and society. Different cultures have different perceptions about the significance of fairytale reading on both girls and boys’ intellectual development and I will thoroughly explore this by contrasting two particular cultures (e.g. Japan and Australia). Also, Societies have a particularly considerable impact on what fairytales children hear and how these fairytales affect their perception of the world around them and how much time parents should allocate to telling their children fairytales and I will meticulously explore these societal aspects by means of my reading of secondary research.
Moreover, the depth studies that are tied to my topic are Personal and Social Identity and Pop Culture. The
