Compare And Contrast Culture And American Culture

This short film clearly demonstrated how culture influences a person since childhood, the easy a child can acclimate to their circumstance; babies cannot distinguish from been poor or wealthy. I was able to observe their smile of the babies from Nambia while they were playing with the rocks sitting in the floor playing with dirt and the babies from Magnolia where playing with animals, compare with the babies in USA and Japon, where their parents provides their babies with expensive clothing, strollers and are playing in playgrounds and sitting in clean floors inside their houses.

In contrast to the harsh parenting Chinese children receive, the Western style of parenting offers freedom. Allowing children to chose their own path in life, Western

The same can be applied to trying to encourage physical milestones with yoga classes or simply letting the child crawl freely. The encouragement was delivered in different ways, the more elaborate methods of encouraging growth was displayed by the parents in developed countries, yet the overall intention was the same for all parents. Another similarity that was evident in all four families was the owning of pets that ensued curiosity in all of the children. The regular interactions with animals like normal household cats and dogs or more irregular animals like goats all had interesting moments with the children.

Each parent has their own unique way of taking care of their child. However, each parenting style usually reflects those of the culture surrounding them. Throughout the world, many societies have different ways they care for their infants. These differences seem to be mainly due to cultural values. Add more interest. In the article “Cultural Variation in Infants’ Sleeping Arrangements: Questions of Independence” written by Morelli, Rogoff, Oppenheim, and Goldsmith, the different infant care practices, such as sleeping arrangement and bedtime routines, done by Mayan mothers and U.S. mothers were discussed. This study was not intended to decide which parenting style is the right one, but rather to understand the differences surrounding infant care in both cultures.

When raising a child in this society we find ourselves asking questions like “to what extent can we allow a child to make his own decision” (lee,2). We have no trust in these kids, whereas in many other societies we know,” it would be presumption for any person to “allow” another to take what is essentially his prerogative” (lee, 4). The Wintu Indians believe the child should decide for himself. “It is in the parent’s mentality to give permission or freedom because it is not within their rights to give” (lee, 7) .An example of this would be .There is no time schedule for their children. When a child is hungry, they will feed them, when a child is sleepy, they will put them to sleep. They are showing the respect for the individual’s personal being. The individual is shown absolute respect from birth and valued as sheer being for his own uniqueness.

The Japanese and American culture have always been known to be very different from each other in many ways. Parenting is one of them. Japanese parents are known to have an authoritarian approach to their parenting style, while Americans lean more towards authoritative or permissive. In average cases, both types of parents love their child just as much as the next culture. Although they may display that in different ways. There pros and cons to every culture. In this paper we will explore those pros and cons and evaluate how they affect children's future. First let's break down the different types of parenting styles in order to compare and contrast these cross-cultural differences. Authoritarian parents practice include many rules, expectation of strict obedience, and rare explanation of reasoning. While authoritative is similar, it differs in the sense that sensitivity is taken into account. Authoritative parents use rationality with their rules and often explain their reasoning, and include children in family decisions. Permissive parenting is much different from the previous two. Permissive parenting uses rules only when necessary (or on rare occasion) and provides much support for their children to express themselves emotionally. Control is at a minimum. Lastly, there exist a fourth type which is neglectful parenting. These parents don’t have much of a hand in their children's upbringing. Neglect comes in a few ways, whether it be rejection, indifference, or hostility.

The job of child rearing is widely regarded as a maternal responsibility for most cultures

Often, I consider whether there are other living creatures around that we have not yet found. A while prior I had a thought to investigate the universe all the more intently. In light of my interest, I recently went by an irregular planet called Earth. As I landed on Earth, everything was extraordinary; it was as though I was trapped in a snow globe all my life and did not know anything past. Consequently, I felt ecstasy as I walked through a narrow pavement exploring the nature around me. Our own particular planet varies in a wide range of viewpoints. In addition, there are frequent significant differences in other living creatures. I observed a common species and examined them well; they refer to themselves as humans, more specifically Americans.

The rare but beloved by all but one, aspic gelatin that shows up during certain “Russian parties.”

Within many different cultures, there are a multitude of views on what is the best way to raise a child. Within the documentary, “Babies,” four different cultures were examined in order to provide a better understanding into different child rearing practices. From Africa, Ponijao grew up in a tribe based home with many children and seemed to be his mother’s responsibility. From Mongolia, Bayar spent a majority of his infancy alone, learning to self sooth and entertain himself. From Japan, Mari grew up in a bustling city with her mother nearly always by her side.

Mr. Kapasi, the interpreter of Maladies is tasked with taking an American family on a tour of India only to find how dysfunctional and uncaring they are with each other. Mr. and Mrs. Das view parenting as a task or chore. Their actions with each other and their children didn’t embarrass them. The unruliness of Ronny, Bobby and Tina, whom haven’t any clue what affection is nor boundaries, establish a behavior of foolishness and disrespect with their parents and each other. The behavior presented by The Das family in front of Mr. Kapasi, revealed how absent parenting affects, can effect children negatively.

Throughout the different cultures around the world, there are many traditions that have been in place for many years. These traditions have been passed down from generation to generation and are looked at as being normal in these cultures. To the United States, and other parts of the world, some of these traditions are looked at as being crazy, bizarre, and even strange. There are many different cultures and unique traditions associated with them, but these are 5 interesting traditions found around the world.

The consolidated nature of Indian families gives extended family members the power to have great influence over their younger relatives. If this aspect of Indian family life holds true, then it is natural for parents to have a colossal amount of influence over their children. In the Indian culture, parents are a symbol of unquestionable authority and the unmovable force of their household. We can see that Indian children are educated

Many societies have adopted the notion of following a social structure where there is a type of hierarchy in an organisation based on the relationship between individuals. In the Western culture, a social structure is defined as a system that is based on the establishment of social interactions between diverse relationships such as those between parents and children. In contrast, non-western societies have been living a lifestyle where individual autonomy prevails within different families. Hence, in those societies, the concept of child-rearing is a process of self-governance. This idea is well depicted in Dorothy Lee’s

People have different ways to raise children, and there is clearly a difference between the Western and Chinese mothers. It’s clearly that it’s because of their cultures, that they have dissimilar ways to raise children. One of the discussable topics of how to raise children is to see the differences between the Chinese and Western way, which Amy Chua writes about in an article in The Wall Street Journal.
