Imagine that you possess the means and the
knowledge to conduct research studies about any topic in the early childhood
field. Imagine further that you are not restricted by the reality of the
present. Imagine that your study will make a major positive contribution to the
well-being of children and/or their families. What topic would you choose? What
can you imagine the positive contribution(s) would be?I would easily choose the topic of feeding the world's youth, but I would first focus on my community and state of Texas. If I were able to research ways of be able to feed all starving children and actually be able to implement the outcomes, I would probably be hailed a prophet or some kind of savior of mankind. By researching and inventing a way to end world hunger, I would actually be able to assist in ending multiple issues throughout the world: low education levels, poverty, crime, bad health, etc. The possible positive contributions are endless, because everything filters back to a person's basic needs not being met; which negatively impacts every other part of their lives.
Here's a way that we can stop dreaming, and start doing!
