PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Chapter 2 PowerPoint
1. Communication Between Cultures 7th ed. Larry A. Samovar San Diego State University, Emeritus Richard E. Porter California State University, Long Beach, Emeritus
2. Chapter 2 Overview The Deep Structure of Culture • Social institutions that identify us • Family as an institution, family’s influence • Cultural variants in families • Country (history) as an institution, history’s influence
3.
4. Social institutions influence in three primary areas: • family • state (community, country, history) • religion (spirituality, worldview)
5. Enduring quality of major institutions • Transmit wisdom, traditions, customs that make a culture unique • Unfortunately, may also extend bitterness, distrust, hatreds
6. Examples of cultural clashes due to differences in deep structure beliefs • American Indians protesting sports mascots • Ongoing hatred of Kurds in Turkey, Iran, Iraq • Albanians’ independence from Serbia in Kosovo • Han Chinese vs Muslim Hui in China • Ethnic cleansing in Darfur
7. Cultures’ differing views on relations between… • God and man • individual and group • citizen and state • parents and children • man and woman / husband and wife and relative importance of… • rights and responsibilities • liberty and authority • equality and hierarchy Huntington
8. Identity is learned through socialization • Variety of identities based on “I” / based on “we” • Ethnic and cultural identities views we share with our in-groups • Membership in family , faith , community identifies us
9. Family as an institution • First and chief socializing agent • Oldest, most fundamental of all human institutions • Most basic unit of society, most basic unit of government • Universal
10. Family defined • Single definition difficult due to wide variety of family forms • Good general definition: A group of intimates who generate a sense of home and group identity, complete with strong ties of loyalty and emotion and an experience of history and a future Noller and Fitzpatrick
11. Forms of family Family of orientation - family you’re born into Family formed with mate - marriage, life partnership Nuclear - two-generation: parent/child • common in developed nations • elderly reside in retirement communities, nursing homes; to take in aged parents regarded as economic burden, threat to household’s privacy, independence • exploration and creativity encouraged Extended - includes grandparents, relatives • common in developing and underdeveloped nations • collection of relatives gathered for economic reasons • share workload of raising the children • more obedience, more organized around rules
12. Four social changes have redefined family • Economic changes • Technological innovations • Demographics • Gender roles and opportunities for women U.S. Census Bureau estimates that slightly less than 50% of all families are composed of male/female married couples Stanford University study calculates that more than 7% of America’s 59 million married couples are interracial (compared to under 2% in 1970)
13. Globalization and the family Mass media • New technologies offer family members different set of values • Families struggle to blend traditional patterns with new ones Migration • To escape poverty, wage-earners separated for long periods • Personal closeness of family deteriorates due to absence • Core family values affected
14. Functions of family Reproduction - allows a culture to perpetuate itself Economic - providing for practical needs Socialization - teaching important traditions and social skills Values and religion - environment within which values and morals develop Identity - most important social identity; precursor to all others Communication proficiencies - expression, affection, argument
15. Communication, culture, and family Thinking globally and cross-culturally means developing an awareness of the context in which families live: their cultural practices and traditions, and environment and economic resources they do or don’t have and how these affect their daily lives
16. Cultural variants in families: Gender roles U.S. • Males socialized to be successful, aggressive, sexual, self-reliant • Females: nurturing, sensitive, interdependent, appearance conscious Asia • Confucianism made men relevant members of society; task functional • Women relegated to social dependence; social/cultural functional Latino • Male undisputed authority (oldest son assumes role when father absent) • Motherhood sacred; women homemakers Indian • Hinduism positions masculinity and femininity as oppositional • Males superior; females devoted to husband’s welfare Arab • Islam characterizes males as physically, mentally, morally stronger • Koran addresses men only; directs women to obey husbands • Men valued; women viewed through prism of family, honor, chastity Westernization and globalization changing gender roles • Women increasingly incorporated into world economy • Must guard against applying Western standards to all
17. Cultural variants in families: Individualism / Collectivism Dimension or continuum along which cultures placed • Individualistic cultures value individual over group self-motivation, autonomy, independent thinking • Collectivists share intense feelings of dependence, loyalty collective interests of the group placed before personal harmony sought; disapproval avoided
18. Cultural variants in families: Age Age-grouping the only universal factor other than gender that determines a person’s position in society U.S. Prefers youth to old age, resulting in age bias. Exceptions: Native American elders safe-keepers, carriers of tribal oral traditions African American grandmothers most central role in family Asia Devotion, obligation to past, elders, ancestors Latino Elderly respected and cared for Compadrazgo (godparents) held in high esteem, integral to family structure Arab Young people encouraged to listen to and learn from elders Other cultural variants in families • Social Skills • Aggression (encourage, avoid) • Communication skills
19. Country (history) as an institution • What a culture seeks to remember and pass on tells you about the character of the culture • Many present-day conflicts extend back centuries
20. History shapes cultural identity, values, goals, expectations U.S. • First settlers mixed English values with new beliefs, Manifest Destiny individuality, lack of formality, efficient use of time • Non-Anglo-Saxon immigrants produced first multicultural nation Russia • Largest (area) country in the world, today in transition • National paranoia toward outsiders due to hostile neighbors, occupations • Historically dominated by autocratic rule, Communist sociocultural structure China • World’s oldest continuous civilization; 1.3 billion people • Natural barriers isolated physically; labor-intensive agrarian lifestyle • Self-perception of superiority in language, education, politic, art, intellect • Reforms in 1970s led to today’s market-driven economy; GDP 3rd in world India • World’s largest democracy; 1.1 billion people, 2000 ethnicities, 18 languages • Buddhism, Hinduism arose; Islam arrived, creating communal hatred • British rule ended 1947; India (Hindu) and Pakistan (Muslim) split • Reforms led to rise in global economy, but disparity in social strata Mexico • Pre-Columbian, Spain invasion, Mexican-American war, Revolution of 1910 • NAFTA, Maquiladora factories; immigration issues with U.S. Islamic • World’s second-largest religion behind Christianity • Western values perceived as detrimental
