Subject Description | This subject draws on the disciplines of history, politics, philosophy and sociology to examine the influences shaping the development of young children in Australian society. It examines children and families from a cross-cultural and historical perspective, focusing on: the social construction of parenting and motherhood; changing family structures and social circumstances; an examination of government policies affecting immigration, population and settlement; the impact of non-parental and institutional care on children and families; the role of schools in the nurturing of children; the influence of the media on children's attitudes and behaviour and on societal views of family life. These issues will be explored against a backdrop of the changing concepts and images of childhood. |
