Situation: <u>Walk down an ecological path in an natural park during a field-trip. </u>
According to Jean Piaget's (a Swiss psychologist widely known for his work on child development, and one of his land mark theories, <em>cognitive development theory)</em>:
- a preoperational stage of development is characterized by the consolidation of language skills and a lacking of concrete logic thinking and also being unable to take the point of view of other people.
- In contrast, operational stage of development, children thinking still moves in a concrete plane, children become much more logical and sophisticated in their thinking during this stage of development and are able to draw conclusions based on <em>inductive logic, </em>which is referred to as going from a concrete experience to a principle.
This being said, going back to our situation, a child in a preoperational stage of development walking down a natural park in a field trip with his family, but will probably be more concentrated on wildllife and general surrounding than on the importance of threes as shade providers, shelter food and other ecological services.
On the other hand, children in an operational stage of development in the same situation would be able to draw conclusions based on the importance of trees and the wide variety of ecological services they offer, and infer that places like the natural park (and other smaller, less complex parks) are important means of conservations.

This is called the crust: oceanic crust is around 5 km (3 miles) to 10 km (6 miles ) thick and the continental crust is 20 to 30 miles thick, (still, i think that the word you're looking for is "crust" or "oceanic crust" to be sure.
<span>The empirical emphasis of today's psychology reflects the discipline's debt to the philosopher Plato. Plato thought we should not rely on our senses to acquire knowledge about the world, since the world that is given to us by our senses is an imperfect copy of reality. To acquire true knowledge, we should rely on thought and reason, not on information that comes to us through imperfect senses.</span>
All of the children mentioned are very poor. However, they are all very different as well.
Burris Ewell is particularly dirty, and he only comes to school once a year. We know that his father does not care about him, and never feeds him or clothes him. We also know that he does nothing to help his family and alleviate their poverty. The Cunninghams, on the other hand, are poor, but they are always respectful, educated and clean. They are also very proud. Finally, Chuck Little, while also very poor, is a gentleman and is kind to others. The main reason why the children are so different, despite their similar limitations in financial terms, is because they all had very different levels of parental attention and education.
