Causation!

= syntesis :) = = kids start to compite because many reasons like they want to be acepted in groups or want to be popular, also it depend on the ages because for example teenagers want to buy the coolest and newest phone but kids want the most popular toy but what both have in commun is that they are unnesessary and people buy it for one of the 3 already meancion reasons. = = Also some other kids start to compit because they have emocional problems, maybe they feel lonely because their parents are not home, and when they are not home they feel guilty because they dont pass so many time with their kids because they are working, so to replase their love they buy them all the gadgets they want. = == Every kid have different strategies to have their parents trapt on their chiting machine for them to buy them all that cool stuff they have always wish, teenager get to their parents sayn lies or givig arguments and false facts of why they should have that cool gadget until they say yes, but kids just ask parents for what they want, parents say no and kids want to manipulate parents acting different and bad, parents feel guilty and buy them all the say == = The consequences are that kids can get affected in a emocional negative way, also when people start getting popular they forget their old friends and start acting in a very rare and negative way also they have bad attitude and they think they can control their parents every time the will wish to. = ==

=== We tend to call it manipulation when a child looks at us, and then proceeds to do something they know is off limits, like dump planter dirt on the carpet, or throw their sister’s toy across the room. We call it manipulation when a child begs for something from one parent, and, hearing “No,” goes straight to the other parent to wheedle some more. And we call it manipulation when children do the exact behavior that drives us wild, over and over again, at times when our patience is already stretched thin. ===

==‍Normally, it all starts with an advertisment, before when kids are small from 7-8 years old there is competition of who has the best toys and one of the kids always wants to be the best because we are humans and its normal and it feels good, but what happens if an older kid, a kid that has an Ipad for example, persuades that kid? it's not a persuation of oh buy this buy this! no, it's the big kid showing off with his ipad and the little kid, the one used to play with toys and things, is now interested for electronic devices and the little kid persuades his parents to buy him one and parents say yes. then when his friends see the ipad, they say "it's not fair that you have one and I don't!" and the competition starts.==

==there is another kind of competition which is when big kids show off their blackberries or Iphones or Ipods, little kids think that if they have one of those thing, it will make them look good so they buy one. but, what if a big kid doesn't have any of those things and see a kid of 7 years with one?==

why do people start to compete?
==The accumulation begins in the mammalian brain: and the reward circuit to seek pleasure. Accumulate things to feel good once the brain learns and continues to have the same reward and pleasure to have you taught and continues to do so, you feel superior to others when you do and you'll keep doing andemas there activates the reptilian brain is handled by the kernel "accumbens" and so these addictions. And I repeat for pleasure so I repeat it.==

[[image:6aaccumulators/images.jpg]]kids: they wont like to have the iphone or the blackberry the would like to have the buss light year or what ever toy they like.
==there is where it start the conflict because, when teenagers want something, is because it is pretty good and itis popular between hes/her social groups, when they go home and ask parents to give them their allowance parents start thinking and they ask for what they want their allowance so urgent, teenagers say lies or the truth but when they say the truth obiously parents will say no, you already have a cellphone or a computer,then teenagers start giving reasons, facts or even arguments of why they need to buy them all that unnesessary but cool stuff, until parents finaly say YES.== ==on the other hand kids process is very different, kids just arrive home and ask parents for the newest and coolest toy that every body have, even the nerd has it exept for him, parents most of the times say NO, and when that happen the kid start having a bad attitude to manipulate their parents, when parents see this reaccion they start to feel guilti because their kids attitude and finaly they say OK. When parents makethe biggest mistake of buying what they wanted, kids start playing with it just for sometime and then leave it in their room with out taking them out of their place, and they dont want to gifted they want to keep it there for when people come in to their room they say ( WOW LOOK AT ALL THAT COOL STUFF HE HAS IN HIS ROOM ) .==

==Competition between peers:The effort to create competition can take on many forms. When your firneds start to get more things you want to have them too or they are forced rankings of peers (THIS MEANS THAT HAVING LOTS OF STUFF MAKES YOU POPULAR OR IMPORTANT). Some go so far as to force somebody in the group to be put in a category like “needs improvement” or “C” (THIS MEANS THEY GRADE HOW MUCH STUFF YOU HAVE OR HOW COOL YOUR STUFF IS)==


 * ==they will start letting be manipulated by their friends==
 * ==they will have problems with their family because they will feel selfish==
 * ==the economy of the family will decrease==
 * ==Kids will not have a personalitie==

How do you get to the point of compiting among your peers?
==well, most of the times ( KIDS ) like things "objects'' others have, that they dont have, there starts the problem because it cause envy on kids, then parents start please their kids and buyng them unnesessary things for them to be happy.== ==sometimes it is because the objects are very cool and every one like to buy it.==

Why do they start competing among their peers?
== Because when they have something very good and someone told them (HE OR SHE) what she bought was veru cute and nice, they feal good and feal plasure, and they like it, and for having more plasure they buy new gadgets because the ( CEREBRO MAMIFERO ) it is wishing for more, for example the drogs addiction, people cant leave drinking drogs because their ( CEREBRO MAMIFERO ) need it because it already produce pleasure to them. ==

==The causation of this problem is that kids want to have things/gadgets that other kids have for being includedin groups without thinking on their parents money, just thinking on what other kids will say about him/her or the imprecion the will have when they see their new gadgets, showing a false personality and not being their own selvesd. kids are letting other kids manipulate them (peer presion) for being friends==

What do i know about Causation:
==I know that the causation of this conflict is because the nesesity of getting accepted in a group or show others you are in fashion and you have cool elements that probably you actually don't need. When you see your friends with a new gadget or a new toy that you like you feel you are in the obligation of getting it too so you can be cool and follow the trend. It is most all about the relationships and being accepted in groups. Becouse now a days people care a lot of what people thinks about them! Specially their friends and classmates. Some concequences will be: don't know what is the personalitie, let them manipulate you, start collecting lots of things and more.==


 * ==you desire it==
 * ==you want to show other what you have==
 * ==you are jelous of what other people have==
 * ==you need it to be in a group==


 * ==they will start letting be manipulated by their friends==
 * ==they will have problems with theyre family because they will feel selfish==
 * ==the economy of the family will decrease==

==Mostly the conflict is caused because is being "materialista" and showing everyone his/her new Ipad, Ipod, blackberry etc which they actually don't need. this causes jealousy, and jealousy causes competition. I, personally, think that doing that, causes a lot of family problems with the economy and your attitude is affectedjust because you want to fit in, in a group. There is another conflict there which is loosing things when you take your cool elements at school, also, with the jealousy that has been caused, some kids might go to extremes and steal or damage.==
