Cross Culture Understanding (CCU) Family : Types and Traditions in America
This document discusses different types of families and traditions in the United States. It covers topics such as newborns typically getting their own rooms, over 50% of young adults aged 18-24 living with their parents, senior citizens often living alone or socializing at centers, the importance of both nuclear and extended families, traditional gender roles with husbands working and wives raising children, high remarriage rates for divorced couples, and the diversity of modern families beyond just married couples with children.
Family Values by Rafika
This document compares family values between Indonesian and American families in several areas:
Child raising - In America, children may have their own rooms from birth and learn responsibility early, while in Indonesia babies sleep with parents.
Young adulthood - Americans are encouraged to leave home in their late teens/early 20s, while Indonesian young adults typically don't.
Elderly - The document doesn't provide details on treatment of the elderly.
Nuclear vs extended family - American families typically live independently as nuclear units, while Indonesian families maintain closer ties to extended family.
Gender roles - Traditionally the man provided financially and the woman cared for home/children, but these are becoming less fixed
The American Family
This document summarizes changes in American family structures from the 1950s to today. It discusses the emphasis on individual freedom and equality in modern families. Traditional nuclear families made up most households in the 1950s, but now many families are single-parent, blended, multi-generational for support, or same-sex couples. Marriage and children are no longer the only path, and divorce is common. The role of children is to pursue individual happiness rather than family responsibilities.
Plyler v Doe
The Plyler v. Doe case challenged a Texas law that allowed public schools to deny enrollment to undocumented immigrant children and withhold funding for their education. The US Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that the law violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The Court found that denying children an education based on their immigration status or that of their parents would harm them and society. This landmark ruling established that all children, regardless of immigration status, are entitled to equal access to a K-12 public education.
Developing sense of responsibility
The document outlines the rights of children as declared by the United Nations, including the right to life, nationality, family ties, privacy, education, healthcare, play, and more. It also discusses the responsibilities that accompany these rights, such as respecting others, not harming others, protecting the environment, learning as much as possible and sharing knowledge, helping those in need, and respecting others' beliefs. Children have the right to education but also the responsibility to study well. Overall, the document discusses how children's rights entail corresponding responsibilities to respect others and contribute to society.

Cross Curtural Understanding : family values
This document discusses family values in American culture. It notes that American families traditionally value independence and individualism. Children are often given their own rooms from a young age and are taught responsibility. Many young adults leave home between 18-21 to begin independent lives, and parents do not typically arrange marriages. Elderly family members may be supported by social programs instead of family. While nuclear families are common, some extended families remain close-knit through shared religious or ethnic backgrounds.
Closed Adoption
The document discusses perspectives on closed adoptions based on a literature review of several articles on the topic. The articles presented arguments both for and against closed adoptions. Proponents of closed adoptions believe it protects birth parents' privacy and promotes stronger bonds between adoptive children and parents. However, others argue that closed adoptions prevent adoptees from accessing important medical history and identifying information. The literature review did not find clear evidence that openness negatively impacts children's development. Overall, the document examines the ongoing debate around balancing adoptees' rights to information with birth parents' privacy interests.
Closed Adoption
The document discusses the perspective of a person who was adopted through a closed adoption as a child. It provides three examples from the document:
1) The person was adopted at 1.5 years old and their adoption records were closed, providing no medical history for themselves or their adoptive parents.
2) A story is described where a boy who was adopted in a closed adoption committed a crime, and medical testing later found he had a genetic condition his birth mother had that was not known due to the closed adoption.
3) Several articles are summarized that discuss issues closed adoptions can cause for medical history, the emotions of birth mothers, and adoptees searching for their birth families.

Family structures can be conjugal, nuclear, extended, patrilineal, matrilineal, bilateral, patrilocal, matrilocal, etc. based on factors like internal organization, descent and residence. The family performs key functions like socializing children, regulating sexuality, and providing material/emotional security.

Responsible parenthood involves meeting children's physical, emotional, social, intellectual and moral needs.
Family values adam sbragia
The document compares family values in America and China. In traditional families, the male is expected to be the sole provider for the family and have decision-making power in China, while in America both parents can work and share responsibilities. Traditionally, Chinese mothers stayed home while American mothers could work, but many modern families in both cultures have two working parents. Marriage is highly valued in both cultures but divorce is less stigmatized in America. Elders are respected in both but typically live with family in China. Children are expected to obey parents without question traditionally in China but American parenting is generally more lenient.

I never thought much about my cultural framework as a child. I knew I was part of the black race. That’s what I was taught as a child. When I got older I gained insight about my own identity, I was no longer called the black race. I’m known as an African American. My cultural has went through many name changes, but it doesn’t describe my character. I know I am a unique individual. I was raised in a loving family and environment. We were taught to treat people as you would want to be treated, “the Golden Rule”.
My cultural framework influences me to teach infant and toddlers normal thing that are positive. When children are small they learn from mimicking what they hear and see. That’s why I provide my infants and toddlers with home loving environment, because at their age they don’t see different cultures. They only see each other as a boy or girl. As parents and caregivers, we have to teach our children about their culture.
As an early childhood professional, I have a diverse childcare center. Our center base environment is culturally respected to all our families and children. Every month we salute a different cultural to help our children to learn about each other nationality. We also allow our children to eat different cultural food with parents’ permission. “Differences between people within any given nation or culture are much greater than differences between groups. Education, social standing, religion, personality, belief structure, past experience, affection shown in the home, and a myriad of other factors will affect human behavior and culture” (1999 by The Regents of the University of California and Gregorio Billikopf). One question I do have about culture is when do children begins to understand their own culture and not their race color.

Some insights that I gained about my own identity is that I am American with a Hispanic background. The way I was raised was the American way. My father is from Puerto Rico and my mother was born in Costa Rican. Being that they both came to New York at such a young age they were both were already use to the way Americans do things and they were both Catholic and believed in the same beliefs. Being raised with Hispanic parents they believed that all infants and toddlers were normal they just developed differently and sometimes some children are more advanced than others. One of my cousins was diagnosed with Autism at a very young age and both of my parents didn’t understand the diagnoses they just felt like that my little cousin was just extremely spoiled and coddled a lot that’s why he didn’t want to talk or didn’t know how to eat solids or anything. It was hard to explain to them that he had delays and that why he needed to receive services at home and in school.
Some ideas that I have in building a good relationship culturally responsive and respectful with families of infants and toddlers that I am working with is first by having the child pair w ...
