The readings and video clips offered great insight into the possibility that play and delinquency are directly related. “Even animals regularly play and that this play can turn predatory/hostile encounters into friendly exchanges” (Ted Talks 2008). The number of children who are confined to Juvenile Prison facilities are appalling. However, there is much hope when these children are interviewed and many of the children demonstrate much enthusiasm for the possibility of a good life. I believe that the Ted Lecture we watched is correct when it states that play is positively linked to human development. I believe that play can relieve stress and limit the chance that a hostile or violent act will occur from a human. I believe that many of the children that end up in Juvy are forced to work and help support their families. Their play time is significantly reduced. However, I believe that play cannot overcome hostile environments. Play itself is not enough to overcome competition or violence. The societal structures of humans need to be supportive and fair in order to maintain peace and decrease violence.
