The Anthropology of Moralities
Author: Monica Heintz
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 9781845455927
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Anthropologists have been keenly aware of the tension between cultural relativism and absolute norms, and nowhere has this been more acute than with regards to moral values. Can we study the Other's morality without applying our own normative judgments? How do social anthropologists keep both the distance required by science and the empathy required for the analysis of lived experiences? The plurality of moralities has not received an explicit and focused attention until recently, when accelerated globalization often resulted in the collision of different value systems. Observing, describing and assessing values cross-culturally, the authors propose various methodological approaches to the study of moralities, illustrated with rich ethnographic accounts, thus offering a valuable guide for students of anthropology, sociology and cultural studies and for professionals concerned with the empirical and cross-cultural study of values.

Handbook of Cultural Developmental Science
Author: Marc H. Bornstein
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1136648488
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 624
Book Description
Researchers and theoreticians commonly acknowledge the profound impact of culture on all aspects of development. However, many in the field are often unaware of the latest cultural literatures or how development proceeds in places other than their home locations. This comprehensive handbook covers all domains of developmental science from a cultural point of view and in all regions of the globe. Part 1 covers domains of development across cultures, and Part 2 focuses on development in different places around the world. The Handbook documents child and caregiver characteristics associated with cultural variation, and it charts relations between cultural and developmental variations in physical, mental, emotional, and social development in children, parents, and cultural groups. This contemporary and scholarly resource of culture in development covers theoretical, methodological, substantive, and ethnic issues as well as geographic approaches. Each chapter includes an introduction, historical and demographic considerations, theory, an overview of the most important classical and modern research studies, recommended future directions in theory and research, and a conclusion. The chapters focus on children from the prenatal stage through adolescence. Interdisciplinary in nature, the Handbook will appeal to human development theoreticians, researchers, and students in psychology, education, and pediatrics. Ideal for those new to the field, readers will appreciate the plethora of cultural examples from all fields of child and human development and developmental examples from all fields of cultural study.

Young People
Author: United Nations. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific
Publisher: New York : United Nations
ISBN: 9789211203752
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
Strengthening young people's ability to protect themselves and engaging them as a positive force in fighting HIV/AIDS are critical to turning the tide of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. All too often, information alone is provided to young people. Interventions that centre on information and knowledge do not suffice in the face of deep-rooted values and peer pressure that increase young people's vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. Life skills are a set of psychosocial competencies that enable young people to think critically about health risks, communicate effectively and make responsible decisions that impact on their health. UNESCAP has been working with national partners to actively promote peer-to-peer life skills training under its project entitled "Integration of youth health concerns into non-formal education: focus on HIV/AIDS in Asia" This project is a response to the HIV threat in the Asian and Pacific region which now accounts for one in every five new infections in the world. The epicentre of the HIV/AIDS pandemic is fast shifting from Africa to the ESCAP region. This book aims to address two questions: Why life skills? And why peer education? It presents an overview of young people's vulnerability to HIV/AIDS infection and illustrates how the life-skills approach could enhance young people's competency in responsible decision-making to minimize high-risk behaviour. It also examines key elements that contribute to the success of peer education programmes.
