Play in Child Development

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the importance of play in child development. Concepts examined include the definition of play, types of play, why play is important, and how gender differences are influenced and shaped at an early age. Gender schematicity is greater in boys, and some experts suggest that rigid gender roles that society holds for boys encourages inequality between the sexes.

From the Paper:

"The purpose of Markus Schwaninger's article entitled "Methodologies in conflict: achieving synergies between system dynamics and organizational cybernetics" (2004) is to assess existing models and methodologies for assessing structure and design of organizations, especially with regard to how change in companies can be absorbed and implemented. Because several different methodologies are in use now - and sometimes, several different methodologies or models are applied to the same situation - this leads to confusion and a situation in which there is not consistent model for looking at the situation. If it is a situation involving design, it is recognized that this affects the structure."
