Culture is a big factor in the development of children. Culture guides parenting practices, religion, economic awareness (SES), education, beliefs, morals, values, and so on. I want you to choose two different cultures and research their beliefs about children, how children should be raised/ brought up, and what their thoughts about children are in general. Look into cultural parenting practices/ beliefs, what values they place on education for young children and what it looks like, what the family structure looks like and what roles members play within the family, are different values in boys vs. girls within the culture, and are there any other cultural beliefs or values that have a significant impact on the development of young children. Once you have researched two cultures write a 2-3 page paper on the similarities and differences in development across the cultures. Support your findings with readings in your book and other resources such as a person living in the culture you are researching. Lastly, address in your paper how you see your own culture and its effects on your development along with your beliefs, morals, and values today.
