Influence Culture On Career Decision Making As Well As Determine The Level Of Satisfaction And Excitement

As a result of influences of the societal culture, going outside the norm of what is perceived as success is discouraged. In an attempt to achieve this perception of success, students declines to go outside the norm of what is deemed as success, they limit their options. According to informants in Ho’s article , “If you go to Harvard , Yale, or Princeton, there are only two career fields presented “ (169). These two fields are presented because they are the only fields Wall Street and Ivy League college campuses deem as being successful. Students display the extent our culture shape

The authors raise the importance of using scientific methods of inquiry in non-scientific fields in drawing valid conclusions. This is exemplified by the negligible influence that actions taken by parents have on children's' academic outcomes. Utilizing data from the U.S. Department of Education, the authors examined the correlative relationship between a child's academic success and a plethora of variables related to the child's life; race and economic status of the parents, birth weight, and hours of television watched, to name a few. The authors concluded that the variables most directly correlated with academic success were what the parents were, such as how intelligent they were, and less what the parents did, like reading to children. This conflicts with what normative reasoning would argue: of course parenting should affect a child's outcome. However, the authors used regression analysis, which artificially holds constant every variable except the two they wished to focus on, and it displayed a different story. This illustrates the difference between the analyzing the world as it is and analyzing it with previously held notions of how it should

Educational development is a very important step in life; it seems that people are judged everyday especially on their education. Parents seem to go through extensive procedures to get their children through the best education possible, just to help them succeed in life. “It’s no surprise that schools in wealthy

Parent involvement in schools is positive to the extent that the child is encouraged and getting help on their homework when they need it. If the child is neglected the influence that they need from their parents, they would think that there would be no use to study and get good grades. The letter from a ”Concerned Mother” and the article, ”In Defense of Helicopter Parents” by Lisa Belkin from the New York Times, show evidence of parent influence being beneficial to a child. The influence of parents will help encourage their children to not give up, causing their determination to grow. Parent involvement from an early age will affect how they grow up academically.

Generally, the expectations of society, community and family always influence a person’s decision of his life. People will have contradiction about making the decisions that satisfies most people’s aspirations or individual preference. In China, parents through their own more abundant life experience, prefer to make decisions for their children and explain to them what is actually beneficial. Consequently, Chinese parents are convinced that their choices are consistently more appropriate for the younger generations. My parents are also affected by those traditional values in China; therefore, they expressed strong disappointment with my decision in my major contradicted their expectations. My parents expected me to major in computer science;

Individuals need to have the drive to succeed in education that the authorities believe is necessary for the individuals to attain educational success. Authority figures don’t want students to have poor qualities like being “lazy and self-indulgent” (Chua 55) that would inhibit their educational abilities. Instead, they want their students to possess the positive qualities that they would approve of and would advocate. Many parents believe that “To get good at anything you have to work” (Chua 52). Even though the child’s mentality may not be focused in this manner, it needs to become this way by the influencing of the well-intentioned parents.

In the article entitled “A Generation Struggling: Rich Kids are Losing” Dr. Brian Carr explains that parents are a big factor in their child’s education. First, Carr shows that both rich kids and poor kids have problems such as troubles with drugs, alcohol, and anxiety. The writer expresses that the kids who are already looking for colleges may have troubles with teen-like things, and these kids’ parents may steal or act delinquent. In addition, he points out that kids who lack parental guidance or get stressed out easily usually have problems in their behavior. Moreover, he emphasizes that parents who expect good grades are often blocking the advance of their son or daughter. This causes parents to get

In American culture, most parents would say that they are doing a satisfactory job at raising their children; yet, each family raise their children so differently. The differences are clearly seen when compared by class. In the upper classes (high class to upper middle class), children are given hundreds of learning opportunities and are taught to value education at a much earlier age. They are put into expensive day cares that require competitive applications, after-school art and sport programs, and enrichment clubs that ensure they are building a foundation that will prepare them for success.

life chance that affected my parents’ parenting style was the local need for manual laborers. Both of my parents work hourly jobs. My mother has never been to school and my father went to technical school, became a mechanic, but later decided he didn’t like the profession and settled for a job at a local paper mill. In the town that I’m from people are praised for their work ethic and not their level of education. Individuals may go to college, but end up working jobs that have little to do with their education. This is mostly due to the limited amount of jobs that allow college grads to exercise their education. Since there is a greater need for laborers many families end up falling into the “working-class.” The citizen in my hometown view people especially men, who work in laboring fields as hard-workers, manly, and upstanding citizens.

Attention/need step: How hard is it to make a life changing decisions? Those decisions that affects your education, the career paths you choose and whether or not you become successful. Founder of Quintessential Careers and present CEO of EmpoweringSites.com, Doctor Randall S Hansen stated in a recent article, that majority of college students struggle to select a major and stick with it (Hanson, 2016). If you believe this is the hardest decision there is to make about your future, how about the decision you have to make about your career? Is there anyone out there in the audience that can stand and confidently say that they are sure that the career they have chosen will yield precisely what they anticipate?

Although in the present time we leave high school and we have a greater knowledge than most other people in the world that live outside the U.S., but somehow we still feel so insecure because we have still not been properly prepared for the world that lies ahead. The us is so packed full of people with the skills that are required for the job that we desire and if we have not been properly prepared the job will be given to someone who has been. So many parents believe starting at a young age with their children will help them to become the best possible person that they can be. They achieve this by pushing them to prepare for things like college not and not to wait, they expect lots of things from them so that they know that they are expected to do great things. Other parents do not push their kids but rather let them make decision on their own, they let them live there own life, and hopefully gain the motivation to become something great. This raises great controversy over whether parents and teachers should push kids to become more than they themselves believe that they can be. I believe that

One example of a family that teachers must consider are teen parents, whom often find it hard to go to school and be a parent at the same time (Raising Children Network, 2012). As a teacher, it is important to understand that there might be stresses with a teen parent working long hours, struggling to pay bills, and sometimes the lack of knowledge on how to raise a child ("Teenage Parents and Their Educational

I am going to go out on a limb for this discussion post and address something that I have personally experienced, witness first-hand daily, and am concerned about for future counseling applications, which falls under the umbrella of culture. The generally identified and discussed marginalized groups, including racial, ethnic, gender, socioeconomic, etc., are usually the topic of conversation. Rubel and Ratts (as cited in Ratts & Santos, 2012) discussed not only the need for culturally-specific approaches to counseling, but also considerations made for client identity factors, as well as unique client worldviews. Working in the substance abuse field, having been incarcerated (which more often than not coincides

As a parent, I believe that I am responsible for making sure my child grows to be a well-educated, well rounded, fully functioning member of society. If they excelled only in academics, chased only the dreams deemed appropriate to me, blankly accepted all authority figures and their decisions as being worthy, or did not participate in any social activity, I feel that I would not be fulfilling my responsibility to my child. As an instructor, academic
