Bowlby hypothesized that the differences in how children react to these situations demonstrates basic behavioral differences in infancy that will have consequences for later social and emotional development.

George Orwell’s 1984 was created to demonstrate the dangers that totalitarianism poses to the social order. A totalitarian regime establishes control through its degree of power. The novel is in a world of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, and public manipulation dictated by a political system that persecutes individualism. In Oceania, freedoms and individuality are crushed under the power of the government. Orwell’s representation of a dystopia mirrors the perfect totalitarian state.

To begin with attachment theory, first everyone should understand what the attachment is. According to attachment means bonding between a child and caregiver or vice versa. The attachment theory is the theory that describes the long term interpersonal relationship between the humans. Also, it can be defined as the strong bond between parent and child, and later in peer and romantic relationship (Metzger, Erdman, Ng 85). It generates a specific fact that how the humans react in relationships when they get hurt, separated from loved ones and perceiving a threat. Basically the two main types of attachment are secure and insecure. Secure attachment is the attachments where mother and father are available for their child and during that time child demonstrates his or her stress and reestablish the connection (Metzger, Erdman, Ng 87). Insecure attachment is the attachment where parents are not regularly in touch with their children or they ignore their child which built a failed emotion communication (Metzger, Erdman, Ng 87). Also, it may be repeated from one generation to another until it is not recovered. However, as a result of attachment theory, it is so important for children to know about it and there are also several emotional effects on children when their parents leave to go to another county due to their connections or bond between them.

One of the most common being, many women do not produce enough milk, which is not true. In retrospect women produce more than needed. Another common myth is that women are told it is normal for breastfeeding to hurt.
