According to Ingraham, "these constructions of social relations conceal from children an awareness of real-life variations and the opportunity to develop one of life's most valuable survival skills - the ability to imagine alternatives." I was really struck by the validity of the this statement and couldn't help but wondering if other people in the class also agree with the what this statement is asserting?
Ingraham also talks about a "cocooning field" which is a "form of romance, living within the imaginary."
Do you find yourself "living within the imaginary" ?
Do you think that these social constructions give us false security that ultimately doesn't mean anything?
