His poetry addresses a wide range of concerns such as selfhood,<br>democracy, nature, love, sexuality, death, immortality, and spiritual awareness. Although these<br>themes appear varied and expansive, the study argues that they are unified by an organic and<br>transcendental vision of life. Whitman presents the self as inclusive and representative, linking<br>individual experience with collective humanity. His democratic outlook, affirmation of nature,<br>integration of body and soul, and perception of death as a transformative process further strengthen<br>this unity. The paper demonstrates that thematic diversity in Whitman’s poetry does not result in<br>disjunction; instead, it contributes to a coherent philosophical framework based on<br>interconnectedness and harmony. Whitman thus emerges as a poet who embraces multiplicity<br>while affirming a deeper unity of human existence and universal life.</p> Dr. Anita Kumari ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 2026-01-12 2026-01-12 9 01 01 05 https://www.ijojournals.com/index.php/er/article/view/1202 <p>This article highlights the significance of children's stories as an effective educational tool for instilling values during early childhood, particularly given the technological developments that influence children's behavior, daily lives, and capacity to learn educational values (Abdou, 2015). Educational values constitute a fundamental component in building a child's personality, shaping self-concept, and directing behavior, with the home and preschool serving as the primary sources for learning them (Abu-Hussain, 2023). Stories play a pivotal role in socialization, transcending mere entertainment to instill moral and social values through guided reading and accompanying activities in kindergartens and preschools according to the Israeli curriculum (ḤajYaḥya&amp; Abu-Baker, 2024).</p> <p>The research adopted a qualitative methodology based on analyzing relevant scientific sources, aiming to explore educational values in children's stories and their positive impact on value learning through event representation and following the protagonist's journey (Boyles, 2018). The research concluded that storytelling represents one of the most important means of embedding values in children's minds, whether in traditional or digital formats, with emphasis on the necessity of training teachers to utilize technology to enhance this role (Asik, 2016).</p> Huda Abu Afash ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 2026-01-12 2026-01-12 9 01 06 19
