The Film 3 Idiots, A Critically Acclaimed Film By Rajkumar Hirani

Here the author talks about couple of kids who belong to different social class and race. She mainly focuses on how economical condition affects parenting. Although most of the parents want the best from their kids but indeed they have to balance between their work and financial situation and tune it with their parenting style.

The family is always the first, most persistent, endless, persevering, and important educational setting for the development of the personality and intellect of children throughout their lives. In particular, parents are the ones who always have the method of adjusting their children in the most appropriate way. In contrast, children always listen to and place their belief in their parents almost absolutely. I have seen it. My friend son’s story happened in an English

Observing the environment of Lala is below average of the socioeconomic status. The individual suffers educational needs, income stability, and the occupation of her grandparents. Due to her grandparent’s education level of grade 11, Lala suffers educational needs in

Gender inequality is displayed in many countries around the globe. In India, the society begins gendering as soon as a child is born. In most cases, the birth of a daughter is unwelcome but that of a son is celebrated. The boys are brought up bold and outgoing while the girls are expected to be at home and do chores. While the other discriminations like economic or social discriminations are present outside the home, but gender discrimination is present outside and inside households. In a familial setup, the father is the head of the family and decision maker. The mother generally performs the ‘home making’. Even if the woman is employed, she is expected to do the domestic chores, in addition to her job. Even though she earns, she does not have the freedom to plan her salary or decide anything.

Gender relations and inequality is experienced through lack of educational matters and unfair treatment of women and children, thus in many cases forcing women to run households, while the men are away at work in various seasonal migration jobs at unviable wages. As defined in a classic article, income inequality is “the distribution of total income amongst the represented population” (Gehring13). In outlined studies; evidence can conclude that poor gender relations in fact can be convoluted into other issues such as overpopulation, child malnourishment, low levels of GDP, and GNI. This in fact sounds to be true for what India is experiencing today. The predominant issue of gender inequality has led many down the pathway to poverty

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.

A child’s success is a parents’ success. Every parent wants their child to do well and hence when compared to the parents who actively engage themselves with their child; the academic performance of the child would be well above. But this cannot be true for all as it is sad to know that all parents are not educated. This research is done with Year 11 students and sometimes it is difficult for parents to engage and help their child even if they wish to just because the parents are not educated enough or the child is doing a different subject form what the parent is qualified in. For instance during the parent interview session, a parent is a Masters Graduate in Business and Accounts but his child is taking Chemistry, Biology and Home Economics.

Additionally, searching for political and economic solutions to the issues that force families into Sonagachi in the first place would help them build a foundation for change. For instance, providing social supports to farmers and agricultural workers may reduce urbanization, which can lead to prostitution when employment opportunities are limited. Solutions to such problems would limit the need for children to make economic contributions, which can give more children the opportunity to get an education. However, considerations of culture and cultural relativism should be retained. Trying to change the Indian culture or force them to accommodate the western conception of childhood and economics would not benefit the children or the society.

Unlike the United States where the elderly are put into assistive living or nursing homes, the concept of an extended family still lives on in developing countries like India. Treating the aging and elderly by putting them in a nursing home or hospice care is about the same as killing them. In India, after a certain age the parents become the child’s responsibility, and the child is expected to be able to support his parents.

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

The nation must intervene to protect the second generation from the first, who have failed to let go of their past attachment” (Ahmed 148). This quote from the course material proves that culture is non-static as showcased in the Bend it Like Beckham film. The film, which features the story of Indian immigrants living in London with their second generation daughter, shows how culture can change. Jess, the teenage daughter of the Bhamras, is fascinated with soccer and is thinking of playing the game, but her reserved parents are against the idea because she is a girl divulging that culture cannot be inherited. This intergenerational mind-shift between daughter and parents shows that cultural norm can change.

Value is placed on respect for an individual’s dignity and personal autonomy. People are not meant to be controlled. One is taught not to interfere in the affairs of another. Children are afforded the same respect as adults. Indian parents generally practice noninterference regarding their child’s vocation. Indians support the rights of an individual. One does not volunteer advice until it

In Chapter one Mathangi Subramanian describes how she went back to India in 1999 when she went was nineteen. She describes how even though she was nineteen her grandmother was asking “ Mathangi when are you going to get married” and her mother tells her grandmother “ that I always told her and her brother that they should be independent”. This story remind me of my own mother who raised me and my siblings to be independent and that we should only marry someone if we are in love. She wanted us to focus on our education and the things that we love such as running, reading, and dancing. Many young girls are not taught independence at a young age, but pressure to get married before they become “too old”. In addition, in this article Subramanian

The “destined path,” in this case, is out of the control of the individual; for example, in a Native American tribe, typical duties for women are cooking and harvesting while the men fill the roles of hunting and craft. In India, women are expected to fulfill the role as a wife in an arranged marriage and caste systems disable alterations in the path of a child born from poverty in most countries of South Asia. These specific paths are habitually maintained and seldom defied due to the punishments that

The older boy did not show his brother how the truck works but rather, the goal is to respect the personal autonomy of the baby and abide by the cultural values of the Sikh society (Lee, 1959, p.7). Therefore, the concept of self-governance is reinforced by the idea of child-rearing in order to prevent any societal conflict between individual autonomy and the societal structure.
