In this diary we’ll look at the concept of the child and how it fits into modern civic and economic society. When you think about what a child is today, think about how that concept varies by culture and how it has changed over time. I’m going to focus on the communitarian view of the child and family to discuss how and why the modern capitalistic society fails the family and child. We talk about how important family is, but we do we actually create policies that nurture the family and the children within it? As you read this diary, consider the issues in our current economic and political institutions and how our view of the child might evolve in the near future.
