Connection

= SYNTHESIS = = Competition among peers is connected to many things such as accumulation (the one we are interested in), It's a big problem people (kids) are not aware of it. Accumulation is also connected to collection, which is that kids collect things like marbles, they think that's good, that there's nothing wrong with it but there's actually something wrong with it, they don't want to stop collecting and they don't even notice they have the same marbles. =

=== Competition among peers is also connected to popularity because, kids want to be more popular so they start buying stuff they see "popular people" have. That is also connected to technology because now, the one that has the newest technology, is going to be more popular. Is also connected to Discussing with parents because when kids ask them to buy them something, and they say no, they do a show. ===

=== In conclusion competition among peers is connected to many things, all of them have a good face and a bad face, it depends on the kid which one he or she wants to choose. they do these because they feel they are being excluded or have a low self esteem, also a very important connection is: parents, they don't do anything to try and solve that problem, they have to start knowing this problem before the kid becomes a compulsive buyer, or worse, have an addiction sickness problem; because children can get to that point of accumulation. === By: Maria Jose Soto Edited by: Franchesca Cobo = = = INTERVIEWS: = =This interview was made to the phycologist Olga Mogollon. She told us lots of things but here is the information about connection:= =This is connected to lots of things for example:= =This is all controled by 2 partsof the brain the mmamal brain and the reptail brain, so it is also connected to that.

How is accumulation of toys and gadgets Connected to other things?

Competition among peers.

When a kid buys something that is new and that it takes over others kids attention, it makes other kids want it. it also gives bad emotions like: jealousy, anger and others.

Technology

Now days the kid that has more technology is the one that most takes over attention which makes kids want it and convincing their parents to buy it. Also technology doesn't help kids what it does is create dummies, they don't respond, they don't think of any other thing that's not that.

Discussing.

When a parent says no to the kid, the child would start making a show for convincing their parents, parents give their children what they want but in a bad way to give it.

= For me, what the information above says in other words is that the one that has the best looking things, makes competition among peers and that means that the kids are going to go to their homes asking their parents for them but they should reflect the big question: =

"DO I REALLY NEED THIS?"
