Blog Post #2

The traditional family structure in the culture I am studying is a Hispanic culture. First I want to start out by talking about the socialization they have in that culture. The way that the families socialize within themselves is much different than the way us Americans socialize in our families. Over time and social cues we have found that Hispanic families are much harder on themselves and their kids than Americans. It is almost as if Americans are pampered. Hispanics tend to work until they cannot walk. By that time in their life when they are older, it isn’t that they don’t need to work, it’s the fact that they don’t want to stop working. As I further my career into agriculture, I find more and more Hispanics working. For example, I work in Homedale, and I pass multiple crop fields at 6:00am. You do not see a single American out there unless it is the farmer. We will never know the reason they do what they do, but point being they may have come over to America for a better life for their kids. With their kids, they seem to be harder on them. According to “PubMed Central” they say “Within ethnic minority families, the maintenance of ethnic pride by individual family members appears to be an important psychological resource in the face of adversity, helping promote healthy academic and psychological adjustment. During the transition to adolescence, individuals experience potentially stressful cognitive, biological, and peer social changes, as well as contextual changes in the family (e.g., increases in parent-child conflict) and school (e.g. elementary vs middle school academic demands. Especially during this challenging transition, a sense of ethnic pride may help minority children successfully cope with these stressful circumstances. Moreover, parents may foster this psychological resource for their children” (National Library of Medicine). This study was put into place to investigate the family factors and ethnic pride when children are transitioning from 5th to 7th grade of the Hispanic heritage. This really brought to light the cultural difference between Hispanics at a young age vs. Americans as a young age.

            If we switch gears and talk about a language acquisition and identity factors, that plays a huge role when the move to the United States. A lot of times there will be parents, or grandparents that come to the United States for a better life. For one reason or another they did not like it over there, and that is their business to keep. If I put my grandparents as an example, they came over when they were in their early 20’s. My great grandpa owned a drug store, and the cartel decided they wanted a piece of it. They got tipped off that some bad stuff was going down so my grandma and grandpa fled to the United States. They eventually became legal immigrants, but coming straight from Mexico was very hard for them to get around. They did not know much English, if any at all. So just making a simple grocery run was very hard for them.

            When we talk about child-rearing practices, this was much different. According to the “College of Education Faculty Research and Publications” they said “In addition to describing research related to the unique cultural influences in Mexico on parenting, research on Mexican families conducted outside of the boundaries of Mexico is also included. Overall, it appears that particularly for families with very young children, there are more similarities than differences in parenting practices between families in Mexico and elsewhere. In order to support Mexican families who are experiencing challenges in child rearing, intervention programs have been developed to offer parent–child training programs with positive results for the parents and their children. Recently, parenting research has explored the possibility of bridging the indigenous psychologies, such as Mexican ethnopsychology, with mainstream psychology. The initial findings appear to support the idea that traditional Mexican values continue to exist while a progressive infusion of counter-cultural values are gradually altering Mexican parenting attitudes and practices. This chapter concludes by providing a brief glimpse into the lives of two families in Mexico, one from a small city and another from the country” (College of Education). The main point that I got from that is their traditions. They raise their kids in the same traditions they grew up on. If you compare it to us, they do not have very many at all, but the traditions that they do have it very special. For example Cinco De Mayo. For the United States it is a reason to “party” or get together. But, for the Hispanic culture it is a big deal. And from the stories I have heard from my Hispanic coworkers, their traditions and cultures do not change. They have stayed the same way for so many years. The migration and globalization has become greater in the last 100 years, but the family structure have stayed the same.

Shutting out the sun

New item:

In Shutting Out the Sun. Michael Zielenziger argues that Japan's rigid, tradition-steeped society, its aversion to change, and its distrust of individuality and the expression of self are stifling economic revival, political reform, and social evolution. Giving a human face to the country's malaise. Zielenziger explains how these constraints have driven intelligent, creative young men to become modern-day hermits. At the same time, young women, better educated than their mothers and earning high salaries, are rejecting the traditional path to marriage and motherhood, preferring to spend their money on luxury goods and travel.--BOOK JACKET.

I hereby apologize publicly to @el-on-earth and my friends Dave and Annie on facebook, all 3 asked me basic questions and I went all JSTOR on them lol.

It’s not my fault! I just finished midterms! I can only think in narrative, data points tracked spatially over time and place, primary assumptions, and secondary sources!

I mean, yes, that SOUNDS good, but what can be tracked quantitatively, what is a qualitative measurement that isn’t skewed by competing naratives and revisionist history? What are the metrics?!?!!? Is the absence of evidence the evidence of absence or just poor data collection? Why has no one done an ethnopsychological profile on the primary sources and crafted comparable datasets that can be analyzed statistically????

Welcome to week 6 :)

Explorations:

Sure of the ubiquity of motives and images ("archetypes") of the profound unconscious. Jung tried to confirm his criteria in several fields of the knowable thing and through trips and explorations of ethnopsychological character that took to him successively to North Africa. New Mexico, Kenya, East, etc. He collaborated in several works with the sinologist R. Wilhelm, the indologist H. Zimmer and the philologist and mythologist K. Kerenyi.

Ethnopsychology is the study of alternative perceptions of the mind and its behavior. According to the vice president of the Ethnopsychology Association of South Africa, this area of psychology is the pursuit of alternative models to study and analyze behavior to more fairly represent the psychology of non-Western groups. The term is closely identified with cross-cultural psychology and can be subcategorized as part of the family of smaller topics in either social psychology or organizational psychology. Alternatively, it can be seen as foundational to another form of psychology. The concept of ethnopsychology is born out of the theory that the field of psychology is disproportionately and thus subjectively skewed in favor of Western perceptions and prejudices toward behavior. It has been charged that modern Western-dominated psychology has manifested itself in an over-abundance of research and papers dealing with uniquely Western issues in psychology. Due to this, theorists might say Western concepts overshadow alternative worldviews and likewise prejudice the analysis of certain groups. Additionally, ethnopsychology is considered an expanding school of thought within psychological anthropology. Additionally, the emphasis on the individual in Western thought has been considered a major stumbling block to analyzing the thoughts and emotions of members of groups who could be termed to have a more "collectivist" orientation, in the common Western psychological vernacular, such as East Asian and African tribal groupings.
