Shakir Uzma, community activist and advocate, Mehru Ali, professor at Ryerson university in Canada, and Dave Este, professor at the university of Calgary in Canada, in their video posted on YouTube they discuss about how most parents like to raise their children the same way they were raised. Also, there is so much expectation and demand on the children, they want them to do things or behave the way they did. Moreover, all of the researcher believe that in order to have or build self-confidence a child needs to have a strong cultural identity. Also, Parents should maintain pride in their own culture and open to embrace new culture.…
Robert Eskildsen’s paper, “Of Civilization and Savagery: The Mimetic Imperialism of Japan’s 1874 Expedition to Taiwan,” provides a fresh turn in the historiography of Japanese imperialism by examining and revisiting imperialist aspects of Japan’s 1874 Taiwan Expedition and its connection with the process of Japan’s modernization from a cultural perspective in commercial representations of the event. This review paper gives a recapitulation of the article and an evaluation on its arguments and contributions. The article, divided into five parts, examines Japan’s military expedition to Taiwan in 1874 to punish the aborigines who killed the Ryukyu fishermen from shipwreck earlier in 1871. The first part provides the context in which the expedition took place.…
The cultural influences that prospect the lives of nearly everyone in this day in age is grand. Influences from what clothes to buy to possibly who to vote for president. This greater influence is even an enforcer of gender rule, stereotypes, norms, and expectations. Gendered expectations such as the women are to be silent and homely housewives and that the men are to be loud opinionated powerful and the bread winner. Archaic family tropes in television such as “I Love Lucy” and “Leave It To Beaver” supported the very notion but as times progressed and cultural influences adapted to the counter culture and feminist movement it started taking a turn for a different perspective.…
Along with being told that they only had a certain amount of days to move out of their homes, Japanese Americans were forced to move out of their homes. Days after the attack on Pearl Harbor signs were posted that the Japanese Americans were to only pack what they can carry and get rid of the rest of their belongings, then they would move to camps under government surveillance. This came as a shock to a lot of Japanese Americans, they did not expect the United States to question their loyalty. Selling the remainder of their items that they could not carry proved to be difficult. Buyers offered the lowest amount of money they could, while the Japanese Americans wanted much more cash for the things that was valuable in their eyes.…
The individual identity is influenced by numerous factors, but the family is the primary group that influences behavior and personality. In this world of countless cultures, childhood development is implemented differently, such that it is based on the culture’s values. An individual’s behavior and personality is not only influenced by the values of a culture; but, also the family structure and forms of discipline. In childhood development, discipline consists of punishments and controls. Two predominant examples that differ in childhood development are Hispanic families and American families.…
golden rule is very important consideration, since it the most frequently lost rule when dealing with children. We feel children are different from us in that sense. Praise should be focus and not phony when encouraging children. Children should be given choices that are age appropriate, to make them responsible and empower them with decision making abilities. Express your own feeling with I-messages and exercises related consequences instead of punishment.…
Providing you race for the census categorizes you into a group decided only by your skin color. People with similar skin color do not necessarily mean that they are from the same ethnic background, country, speak the same language or hold the same beliefs. People with the same skin color still have diverse geographical and cultural backgrounds and Berger adds “dark-skinned people whose ancestors were not African share neither culture nor ethnicity with Africans”. Because there is such diversity in the United States and different ethnicities living here, people are more likely to come from mixed ancestry. The US Census would like to know the makeup of the United States but by asking people to pick a race they may fall into, publishes inaccurate…
For this Sociology In Print assignment, I chose to analyze this Washington Post article, “In Japan, Single Mothers Struggle with Poverty and a ‘Culture of Shame’” by Anna Fifield. The article is mainly about how Japanese single mothers continue to struggle in the society after the economic recession in the 1990s (often referred as the “Lost Decade”) despite the government’s efforts to reinvigorate the economy. Instead of addressing the issue in an economic perspective, Fifield uses a sociological perspective to suggest that single mothers are struggling because of the Japanese cultural belief. For instance, in a homogenous society, where the total population is mostly consisted of the same ethnicity, Japanese people often hide their real emotions…
One current issue impacting Aboriginal children in E.C. settings is that the families of Aboriginal children often feel disconnected with or excluded from the E.C service, as did the Indigenous Melbourne father of two young girls who eventually found their "safe place" at Bubup Wilam (as seen in the youtube video). And yet for Indigenous people family is central in their lives (Fleer, 2004). Fleer (p.59, 2004) writes, "the child is a composite of an extended family, community and set of cultural beliefs that do not always match those of the centre". The notion of the child being shaped by their family (amongst other important aspects of their culture) is a sociocultural one, and the importance of family is recognised in many E.C. centres,…
My initial understand of American history, which was characterized by previous experiences was changed by what I learned about racialization of Chinese and Japanese Americans in the 1800s. The racialization of Chinese and Japanese Americans was characterized by the formation of negative stereotypes, and the cause of conflicting laws and ordinances that both reflected and maintained the marginalization of Chinese and Japanese Americans. Chinese and Japanese Americans have been and still are being stereotyped through American culture and norms. In the 1800s, Chinese immigrants were brought into the U.S. to work on agriculture and on the railroads in the West Coast. Many also worked in laundry services or worked in restaurants.…

It does not matter what kind of ethnicity you are, or how you were brought up, everyone is truly fixed in their own culture. Culture is defined as a lifestyle of a group of people, the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept and are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next. There are some foreign students here in American schools. And many foreign students do not interact with the foreign students due to the culture difference. Most of the foreign students always wish that Americans culture could adjust their culture.…
Family of Origin Introduction Families are a social system that is governed by rules and power structures, in which members become emotionally connected and interdependent (Collins, Jordan, & Coleman, 2012). Families tend to be the responsible agent in shaping the environment where individuals grow and develop. Each member in the family is different, and each contributes to the functionality of the family in a distinctive way. To be able to understand an individual’s behavior within a family, the family context and environment must be understood (Collins, Jordan, & Coleman, 2012).…
Family is one of the top agents of socialization. From the moment you are born parents are teaching you how to act and behave. The job of the parents is to raise the child to be the best that they can be, they teach them how to act in public and how to respond to situations. My parents from when I was little have taught me how to talk, to eat, and the normal habits of a child, like playing with toys, sharing, and sleeping. If I ever did something wrong my parents would discipline me and right my wrong, that help me to learn from my mistakes.…
