There was a strong correlation between the perceptions of children and how they were disciplined. Since children during the 16th century were viewed as sinners who needed to be fixed through education and strict discipline, parents would harshly control their children through threats and beatings. As seen in Doc 1C and Doc 2C, children were “sharply taunted, so cruelly threatened...sometimes with pinches and bobs” (Doc 1C) and often “cast [on] the ground and spurned and kicked” (Doc 2C). The circumstances children had to undergo were jarring and savage. Children, in return, viewed their parents as their masters whom they must obey.

Previously in history, the infant mortality rate was very high, so kids were treated more like adults and were often neglected because odds were they would die. There was a resounding view that kids should be treated harshly in order to become strong. Then in the seventeenth century, the idea of being tender and gentle to your kids was introduced. The way in children were brought up was influenced by assumptions made on both old and new schools of thought.

Inconsistencies such as young people being eligible to marry at 16 but not attaining legal majority until the age of 18 as well as girls and boys not being responsible for their sexual activities at the same age, developed over time and are, according to Thane (1981), ‘not a modern phenomenon ' (p. 2). Thane (1981) refers frequently to Philippe Ariès work and explains the development of how young people were seen and treated since early human history. She reflects medieval Europe where children were always treated like adults and a childhood as it is known today did not exist until in the thirteenth century a childhood similar attitude and the start of educating young people emerged. Due to economical complexities in the eighteenth-century more knowledge and skills were demanded and kids were sent to school and work to support their families financially. This, according to Thane (1981), explains the change of thinking in people 's minds and the lengthening of childhood as a measure to train kids for a more successful and financially independent life.

The six society views of children through the ages are miniature adults, sinful children, blank tablets, growing plants, property and investment in the future. One view influenced child rearing practices is miniature adults. According with our textbook Early childhood education today by George Marrison, page 117, during the medieval time, the notion of childhood did not exist. The concept of children as miniature adults was logical for that time because the economic condition of medieval Europe did not allow a long childhood dependency. In medieval time, children had the same responsibilities as adults and the differences between children and adults were size and age.

During the time of the Iliad, women were considered property. Women did not have important roles, and they were most needed for men’s sexual desires, and to bear a son who will carry on the man’s legacy. However, women are essential in the epic Iliad because they are not all portrayed the same way. For example, Chryseis, the priest’s daughter, and Briseis, Achille’s reward, are both labeled as a war prize. Though, on the contrary, Andromache, Hector’s beloved wife, is inspirational as she attempts to change Hector’s mind.

Prior to the Industrial Revolution, the private and public sphere were one sphere and meant the same thing, where home and work were equal (lecture). Family was the economic unit working and functioning together to sustain the home with agriculture being the means of labor and production where “one owned their labor (lecture).” And labor increased that also meant an increased need for workers or laborers which at that time meant children in the home. So with increased work and demand for more workers, the answer was to reproduce more children, or workers.

Existentialism in Hamlet In the 1600s, existentialism did not yet exist in name, but the ideas behind the movement were swirling around; many of the conflicts that Sartre and other existentialist philosophers discuss manifest themselves in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. By subtly sprinkling these ideas throughout the play, Shakespeare makes the audience reevaluate some of the customs and supposed truths of the time without making the play controversial in that effect. In Hamlet, some characters fail to adopt existentialist mindsets, and perhaps as a result, they suffer the anguish and despair of which Sartre warns. Other characters embody the values praised by existentialists, and Shakespeare rewards them, if not with a happy outcome, at least with some of the most quotable lines in all of literature.
