A History Of Childhood Book Review

ASSIGNMENT

Your task for this paper is to speculate on the future of childhood and what it means for the concept of legal and social responsibility of children for the coming 50 years. You may rely only on your personal observations, the textbook for this course and A History of Childhood to accomplish this.

Your paper should be organized into themes and use subtitles to organize those themes. For example, themes might be Changing Notions of Juvenile Responsibility or Extending Bio-social Explanations and the Future of Childhood. Each section of the paper should begin with a very brief summary of the historical context or flow of history as it pertains to your argument.

Where possible, use A History of Childhood. It might help to imagine that you are writing an afterword for that book.
