In all four cultures the mothers are the primary care givers and nurse their children. All but one child (Hattie), is primarily cared for by their mother. Some of the major differences are, communication/bonding, entertainment, such as toys and play groups, and hygiene. Nambia is rarely ever seen without her mother; while Bayarjargal is often never seen with his. He is left alone, tied to a bed, and his main source of interaction comes from his older brother, who is a toddler himself. Hattie and Mari receive plenty of stimulating activities. For example, Hattie is read to on a daily basis and Mari takes part in social play groups. It is sad the way Bayarjargal is left alone 90% of the video. Once mobile, Bayarjargal was attracted to the

Mother-child relationships come in all different types of forms within The Joy Luck Club, No-No Boy, and Stealing Buddha’s Dinner. Some of these relationships are rooted in frustration while others are rooted in bitterness. Overall, the majority of the relationships between mother and child in these texts are very distant and tense, which is not very uncommon in the Asian culture. There are many possible explanations for this such as the pressure a mother puts on their child, high expectations that the mother’s holds for their child and the child’s resentment towards them, as well as the lack of communication between mother and child. Furthermore, the majority of the mother-child relationships in these Asian American texts are very similar.
By leaning on each other for emotional support, they learn to cope with the feelings of pain and abandonment while figuring out life. After years of being taunted by others calling them orphans and treating them poorly, their mother finally returns. However, it wasn’t the heartfelt reunion the children expected, their mothers’ return was followed by many dramatic events including the return of Reyna’s mysterious father.
Her husband refuses to believe that she has rebelled against him without Nagib's influence. She responds to this by asking "Was it Nagib who gave birth to me or I to him?"(95) It was with difficulty but her husband accepts his new wife.

I think the purpose of Zitkala-Ša’s writing is to show how she felt experiencing a new place away from her family and experiencing a new culture. Zitkala-Ša’s village seems that it has its own traditions and culture. Zitkala-Ša’s did not know any of the white pale face cultures and it shocked her and surprised her. For example, when she first arrived and a rosy-cheeked paleface women caught her (carried her), Zitkala-Ša’s was “frightened and insulted by such trifling.” She wanted to be put down and to stand on her feet. Other children in today culture always like to be held and carried. However, the way she explained how her mother never made a playing of her wee daughter, shows us how her culture doesn't like to get close or physical with
Fernea experiences her understanding of the relationship between women and the of raising children through her exposure to the sheik 's harem. The women of the harem represent many different types and different ages, from the sheik 's earliest wives to his favorite wife of the current day. Though the sheik 's wives share the raising of his children, there appears to be a level of jealousy among the different wives, yet all accept Selma 's role as the immediate "leader" because of her favored status with the sheik. The women share not only their husband, but elements of bringing up a child and a concern for the social consistencies displayed by their interactions. Fernea is able to learn the importance of motherhood to the
In the book The Nine Guardians by Rosario Castellanos, the character Nana plays an important role with the Arguello family. Nana is a native american that fled her home to seek a better life and serve the Arguello family as their nanny in Comitán. She is portrayed as the care giver for the little girl an his brother, children from the wealthy family and substitutes for their parents which seem to be too wealthy to care for their own children. For example, when the little girl gets cold and the parents aren't around “she draws [her] to her lap, as she always has done ever since [she] was born” (Castellanos 20). Instead of the parents, Nana is always there to support the children.
Sara Geliebter 10/27/14 HSP 315 Bordoloi Theory Application Paper I will be focusing on baby “Hattie” and the Ecological Systems theory. The Ecological Systems theory is based on human development and the human’s environment. There are five main components to this theory. These components include, the individual, microsystem, meso system, exosystem and macrosystem. There is also a time component that influences the environment as well that is called the chronosystem.
With the different characterizations being shown among the three individuals, there is lack of union within the family. Each character has their own mind set among the way life
Both parents work and they share parenting roles. The father is more of the disciplinarian, as the mother tends to pick favorites. The father says that everyone has their fair share of chores from the 19 year old to the six year old. The mother said that each of their children have different aspects of themselves and play different roles in their family. Their older daughter is pretty distant since she has moved out a few years ago, but does come around when needed. The second oldest daughter is the protector of the younger girls and decides who does what chores. The oldest so is the protector of the younger boys and is the man of the house when the father is not home. The middle girls are the brains of the family and the younger boys are the entertainers, as they are very active in sports.
There are no specific ways in parent’s parent their children, in fact, there are varieties of ways to parent children and where we come from, our environment, our resources, and our traditions determine how parents begin to parent their kids. For instance, hygiene and the way we use our resources to take care of ourselves due to our resources do impact our parenting practices. In Namibia, due to the resources and weather, the mother cleanses her child with her natural resources such as her tongue and picking off the dirt off her babies, just like in Magnolia, they have limited resources due to being outside and secluded from the city areas, they bathe their children with a tub and some water. Unlike in Japan and San Francisco, they are in a more urban and city-like area. They have more access to water and a shower. Another difference in parenting practices within cultures would be the parenting style in general and how they learn how to care for their baby. In Namibia, everything was self-taught and learned from unique traditions. People in Namibia tend to use their natural resources around them to care for their child. While people in Magnolia, Japan, and San Francisco have access to go to classes with their child and learn stuff. Lastly, a difference in parenting practices would be education and learning. These two play a big role in a child life, although, some may not be able to get the

Description: Hippolyte Bayard’s photo of his composite of being a self-portrait man shows a lot to talk about. For example, Bayard looks very pale in this image and the way he looks as if he his depressed and very unhappy with the situation he is in. in this photo he created a photograph to express himself which was to pretend to be a suicide victim. Another thing is the way Bayard is slumped in an angle with his arms crossed over each other. This photo by Bayard looks also as if he is not responding to anything or anyone but this photo did make people care about his work. The photo that is shown is in a square shaped most like how Polaroid cameras took when photos were in the early stages of getting quality images. The hat in the background
In Melanesian societies, gender roles have a different meaning to the Trobriand people, in their society, the names ‘mother and father’ does not necessarily mean male and female. It can be anyone who stands in relationship to that person as a mother/father (Malinowski B et al 1972). The relationship of mother’s brothers and their nieces and nephews are treated with great familiarity, they laugh, joke and provide food where as father’s sister have the opposite relationship. In these societies, biological fathers in contrast are very severe, strict authoritative figures (Radcliffe-Brown AR et al 1935). Fathers, are treated as a source of wealth (cattle) as well as your rights in land and are believed to have no role in human reproduction, they believe sexual intercourse did not result in conception but instead paves the way for the entry of ‘spirits’ which was the enlivening force that created a new human being (Malinowski et al
