The author of, “Who Need Love!” Nicholas D. Kristof interviewed several married couples in Japan about their marriages. The answer was surprising; most of the couples in Japan are, by international standards, exceptionally incompatible. However the strength of the Japanese family is extremely higher than the ones in the U.S. The divorce rate in the U.S. is 55 percents, however the divorce rate in Japan is almost only half of U.S. 25 percents. One Japanese lady mentioned a secret of the strength of the Japanese family consists of three ingredients: low expectation, patience, and shame. They take patience is a virtue of a wife. According to the old Japanese lady wife cannot be mad at the husband even he is having affair with another woman. Another factor of low divorce rate is Japanese women with children often cannot afford living without the salary of her husband. Moreover, social pressures also keep the low divorce rate. Often in Japan divorce considers as shame and shame is a huge sanction and it does not ends as a gossip but affects their career. Nowadays, Japanese society of changing and it is an open question whether these changes will undermine the traditional family.…
In “The Radical Idea of Marrying for Love,” Stephanie Coontz goes on to explain that marriages are more complicated now because they’re based on “true love” rather than just a simple partnership without feelings as they once were. She proves this point with many historical examples such as the culture behind Hindu marriages where love is not a factor in the decision to marry. However, unlike some of the other cultures Hindu traditions actually appreciate the growth of love as long as it is after a couple is married. I find this interesting because as an American it shocks me that people can commit to spend the rest of their lives with each other without any romantic feelings for one another. However, I think there is a certain beauty in the…
Development can be defined simply as: ‘A significant event, occurrence or change’. (www.thefreedictionary.com) When relating to a child, this development can be measured through several social, physical, emotional and intellectual milestones. Development by children usually occurs at similar stages with roughly the same pattern, however, each child will develop at varying rates and so it is important to analyse each area of development for each individual child in order to discover whether their development is occurring evenly across all areas. Key areas of development involve physical development (which includes movement, motor skills and eye hand co-ordination), social and emotional development such as relationship building, social skills, decision- making, feelings and the development of self-confidence and intellectual development which involves developing the skillset for understanding information, processing information, memory development, reasoning and logical thinking patterns. Research has shown that a child’s development can be divided into roughly four age ranges.…
Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines development as “An unfolding; the discovering of something secret or withheld from the knowledge of others; disclosure; full exhibition.” I love this definition of development because I believe that it perfectly describes the aspiration that Piaget, Vygotsky, Kohlberg, and all of the other early psychologists had when studying humans. They wanted to unravel and expose the ways that people learn and mature. For my own psychological study, I chose five questions which I believed would reveal the exact developmental stage of my four subjects. The cognitive questions that I chose…
Development refers to the process of learning new skills and abilities, and acquiring emotional maturity. All development changes are the result of both genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors and diet are in the main responsible for growth, whereas environmental factors such as quality of the diet and disease are responsible for the emotional growth.…
Development is the process of learning new skills in all areas of life. When we talk about child development we use the baseline of an 'average child '. Most children will go through the same stages of development but not necessarily at the same age/time. Some children may miss a stage altogether e.g. Missing out crawling and going straight to walking. When thinking about child development, although we use the 'average child ' as a baseline we must also remember each child is unique and we must consider their developmental process on an individual level. There are different types of development for children and young people and although I am going to look at each one separately,…
In the article” The Radical Idea of Marrying for Love “the author gives a global interpretation of what marrying for love means to different cultures. While Americans strive to focus on the love connection before marriage, the writer of the article Stephanie Coontz points out that other countries practice the total opposite. Although marriage is an institution that brings two people together, Coontz describes this as being “under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive and most transient of passions” and are required to feel excited about each other every day for the rest of their lives until death do them apart.…
Human development is the biological, psychological, and social process that a human being must go through to reach full maturity. It defines who we are and how we interact with and view the environment around us. Understanding human development and how it affects an individual is an essential theme in human services. Understanding the bio-psycho-social dimensions of human development, having cultural competency, and comprehending the general systems theory and how it works are all important parts of being an effective human service professional.…
The Oxford dictionary defines the word development as – “A new stage in a changing situation”. Lee (1990, p.2) states “To develop is to change in form as one grows”. In relation to Early Years this refers to the occurring physical, intellectual, language, emotional and social changes which are hugely evident and permanently ongoing as a child grows. These stages of qualitative change…
