Child's Play: Myth, Molding, and Medium
"Child's Play: Myth, Molding, and Medium" explores how childhood toys and play activities shape a child's development and cultural perceptions. The "myth" refers to societal stories or beliefs about childhood, while "molding" describes how these influences shape behavior and identity. "Medium" involves the tools and objects—like toys—that carry cultural values and meaning. Essentially, the work examines how toys are not just entertainment but also powerful symbols that influence a child's understanding of the world and themselves, blending societal narratives, individual development, and material culture.
