Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary trends such as increased one-parent families, high divorce rates, second marriages and homosexual partnerships have all contributed to variations in the traditional family structure. But to what degree has the function of the family changed and how have these changes affected family roles in cultures throughout the world? This book attempts to answer these questions through a psychological study of families in thirty nations, carefully selected to present a diverse cultural mix. The study utilises both cross-cultural and indigenous perspectives to analyse variables including family networks, family roles, emotional bonds, personality traits, self-construal, and 'family portraits' in which the authors address common core themes of the family as they apply to their native countries. From the introductory history of the study of the family to the concluding indigenous psychological analysis of the family, this book is a source for students and researchers in psychology, sociology and anthropology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a strong connection between culture and parenting. What is acceptable in one culture is frowned upon in another. This applies to behavior after birth, encouragement in early childhood, and regulation and freedom during adolescence. There are differences in affection and distance, harshness and repression, and acceptance and criticism. Some parents insist on obedience; others are concerned with individual development. This clearly differs from parent to parent, but there is just as clearly a connection to culture. This book includes chapters on China, Colombia, Jordan, Kenya, the Philippines, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, Brazil, Native Americans and Australians, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Ecuador, Cuba, Pakistan, Nigeria, Morocco, and several other countries. Beside this, the authors address depression, academic achievement, behavior, adolescent identity, abusive parenting, grandparents as parents, fatherhood, parental agreement and disagreement, emotional availability and stepparents.​

Book excerpt: Family-based Green Card and Citizenship: Uniting Families Across Cultures is more than just a collection of legal procedures and paperwork-it's a testament to the power of family, love, and the unwavering human spirit. It's a tribute to the countless individuals who have dared to dream, to hope, and to believe in the promise of a brighter future. This book is packed with practical advices, expert insights, and actionable strategies to navigate the complex and often daunting process of family-based immigration. From understanding the legal requirements to overcoming common challenges, this book is your roadmap to successfully reuniting with your loved ones and building a new life in America. Though this book offers valuable information and guidance, it is not a substitute for legal advice. Immigration laws and procedures are subject to change, and each case may have specific circumstances that need professional legal help. Therefore, it's advisable to consult a qualified immigration attorney or accredited representative for personalized assistance with your immigration journey. Beyond the legalities, "Family-based Green Card and Citizenship: Uniting Families Across Cultures" is a celebration of the human experience-the joy of reunification, the pain of separation, and the resilience of the human heart. It's a reminder that behind every form, every document, and every bureaucratic hurdle, there lies a story-a story of love, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of family. Remember, you will be never alone this path. As you embark on this journey, this book serves as your guiding light, shining with clarity, wrapping you in comfort, and offering reassurance at every step. I believe this book gives strength to confront challenges, navigate uncertainties, and realize the dream of building a brighter future together with your loved ones in the United States.
