Japan: Social Customs
... An example of this is: a two-storied house first-floor for older people, second-floor for younger people, one kitchen, one toilet, and sometimes one bathroom.
Japanese people love to have a party in Western style, and a Wedding party is of no exception. Almost all wedding halls have a miniature of a Japanese shrine inside, to have a new couple vow their marriage to the Japanese God, as well as many rooms to celebrate their wedding in Western style after the vow. A bride wears a pure-white Japanese Kimono (Shiro-muku) in front of the God at first. Then she changes it to a colorful Kimono at the beginning of the wedding party, then again to a beautiful Western-s ...

Love
... first time I experienced was when I was eighteen. I wait for his call; the phone rings at nine-thirty, could it be him? I answer. The sound of his voice puts a warm, tingly feeling all over me. The words that he says to me makes my blood race through my veins. We talk about our day and how we cannot wait to see each other again. When he makes a positive comment, my face brightens like a light bulb. When negativity occurs, I brush it off as though it was never said. Then, it is time to say goodnight. When he says, “I you,” fireworks explode in my heart.
“ is a vine that grows into our hearts.” (anonymous). The scent of is sweet and flowery. has a s ...

Consent And Its Place In SM Sex
... tied up the way in
which the ropes are tied, how a person is suspended, and whether or not the
person has revealed confidential information to be used in the scene all aid to
create a potentially dangerous situation. When in bondage, the struggles and
wriggles of your partner desperately trying to escape your teasing might tighten
a rope of poor quality and/or singularly tied around a wrist, creating major
veins to stop circulating . The danger might not even seem obvious until it is
too late. It is possible though highly unlikely that one could lose the usage of
one's hands. Often in SM sex, extremely intimate information is given to your
partner, for example a ...

Child Labor In Pakistan
... for little pay, and whenever there is an error, even due to natural disasters, they are blamed and their salary is cut or taken away. This is extremely difficult to support a family. Many fathers sell their children to carpet masters for a sum of money paid over five years. Even though the father is happy with ¼ of the sum because a deal is not worth much in Pakistan especially between rich men and poor men. When the Father receives this money he is in the masters dept and his sun must work until it is paid off.
Child labor is prevalent throughout all of Pakistan, but its worst occurrences happen in the carpet industry and the soccer ball industry. These two industr ...

Social Norms Are Constantly Changing
... him down with Raid insect killer. When I expressed disbelief, she swore it was true. Another interviewee that grew up in the early twenties attended school only through the eighth grade. After that he helped his father on the farm. In the typical school day today, a student has to do a lot more than cheat on a test to get in any real trouble. Some things that get kids in a lot of trouble now include looking up porn on the Internet and fighting. Swearing in class is usually punished with mild reprimand from the teacher. Fifty years ago, and even only twenty years ago, you didn’t dare say even the mildest swear word in the presence of a teacher.
Another norm ...

Gender Stereotypes
... much more than the elder generation does. It is the role of the
parents to teach them that not everythink that glitters is gold and to give them
a better perception of the world. That of course does not mean that parents are
affected less by the TV. On the contrary, they are often more affected than
their kids, of course not by cartoons, but by shows that contain information
about serious subjects such as parenthood. Concerned with being good parents,
people are accumulating a lot of information on the subject. As the information
can be very helpful, sometimes it can be destructive. That is the case when it
comes to the problem of "tomboys" and "sissies." What are ...

How To Win An Argument
... you may want to consider getting into the dispute. If fighting
arguments is just an “ego boost” or hobby, then disregard the above.
The next item to take into consideration is your background on the topic. You
should never enter an argument you have no information about, because it will
only end in “your mother is a .....” insults. In a factual argument, it is
helpful if the truth is on your side, but as we've learned from our politicians,
it is not necessary. However, if the truth does eventually get out you may end
up looking like a fool. In a multi-sided argument, an argument which is not
dealing in absolute truths, but rather different opinions, it is prefera ...

The Importance Of Tradition In Belizean Society
... . . .to a certain extent. What one does not realize is that during all this progress and the melting away of the ignorance something else happened. Something far more sinister lurking just behind all the good Western Civilization brought with it . . . . .LOSS OF CULTURE.
During this period we lost our identity almost entirely. We became like the characters of the novel "Animal Farm" who hated the humans and all they that they did but after they chased them out and became their own masters they adapted all the same customs that the humans had had. We rejected Europe's influence because we gained independence but we welcomed it from the US.
