how young Indians have fun in the United States the Desi way Sunaina Maira in To Be Young, Brown, and Hip explains how young Indians have fun in the United States the Desi way. Indian parents are strict and so are their cultures that require Indians to remain upright and not to engage in immoral things. Some young Indian love the pop culture that they found in the United States while some practise the culture as a way of defying their parents (Maira, 2004). Either way, Indian young men and women have embraced the pop culture in large numbers. There are, however, different responsibilities, expectations and believes about male and female Indians on the dance floor. These differences range from their dressing, looks, responsibilities and dancing styles. Attractiveness is found differences among men and women. Girls have to dress pretty to be considered pretty on the dance floor. During dances, young girls are expected to dress suggestively and attract men.

Sanchez Family Celia Sanchez is the wife to Hector and a mother to 6 children that is Junior, Emilia, Vicki, Gloria, Alejandro, and Carmen. Celia is a woman according to my understanding who is brought up in a society that protects their girl child and teaches them their role in a home. She must have been raised knowing that a woman’s work is to stay at home and care for the family as the husband goes to work. She is a very submissive wife who would do anything to show respect to her husband as well as care for the family. Celia must have grown up in a community where education was not that upraised, but rather the community valued the values that one is brought up with. She must have been brought up in a religious family since when she sees how the husband is struggling to make ends meet, she visits the church secretly for help. However, to help Celia with her language barrier issue, I should try and advise her on the importance of learning other languages…

Corporal punishment I think that corporal punishment is not an effective way to punish children. According to psychologists physical punishment that entails hitting, spanking, and inflicting pain to a child can result in increased aggression, antisocial traits, mental health issues and bodily injury. I believe that there are better ways to discipline a child rather than hurting them. For instance, a parent can either prohibit a child from accessing his favourite toys or watching television for a certain period as a way of disciplining him. Whether in school or at home, corporal punishment should not be practiced. In schools where Corporal punishment is practiced, most students grow up scared to the extent of some dropping out of school. Severe physical punishments do not enhance learners’ in-school conduct or academic performance. Studies found out that in countries where corporal punishment is often used, learning institutions have done worse educationally than the states that forbid corporal punishment. Although some people may argue that corporal punishment is okay to a child who deserves it, most of the children who grow up around adults who…

Living and interacting with people from entirely different kinds of communities Having spent my initial days of childhood in a village with my grandparents and then having grown up in a city, I have balanced with several identities all my life all which have had an important role in shaping who I am today – a woman, an Indian, a feminist, a dancer, an aspiring communicator, and someone who genuinely wants to make a difference. Living and interacting with people from entirely different kinds of communities, cultures and socio-economic backgrounds, I understood the impact of politics in the smallest activities of everyday life at an early age. From the governments in power to the ideologies that people live by every day, from the pain and sorrow of war and conflict to the sense of hollowness that the routine discrimination based on caste, gender, class and other social categories causes – I see politics in all of these. But my Bachelor’s degree in Political Science with an optional of Conflict Resolution and Peace Building has taught me that politics is not…
