22 November 2004 PAKISTANI chose to do my research on the customs and lifestyles of Pakistan and their people. It took me quite a while to get in contact with someone who lives there, but once I finally did, I made a friend for life! I was very curious how the Pakistani’s felt about Americans, and if I could get an honest answer from someone there. My friend “Hussain” assured me that although there are extremists, just as there are everywhere, who take their hatred for America, and for any other country that they feel “threatened” by, and use it to destroy innocent peoples lives. For instance, like the suicide bombers that we hear of so often, they would be considered “extremists.” As far as the “common people” as Hussain put it, they understand that our government (meaning President Bush and his administration) is doing what must be done in order to protect the citizens and / or the “common people” of America. I didn’t have as much time to correspond with Hussain before this research paper was due, as I would have liked too, I look forward to continue learning about the lifestyles and customs there. It’s amazing to learn how different people’s lives are depending on what culture they live in.
I had so many questions for Hussain, but I was also afraid that I would overstep my boundaries by asking certain questions, therefore I tried to be very careful in the way I worded things. It’s very easy to tell even through an e-mail that he has a very distinct accent, however, he does speak good English. He told me that he was married and had 3 children. He was born in Sindh, Pakistan, which I later found out that Sindh is a “State” like “Oklahoma.” He got his education and graduated in 1991. (He did not say whether or not that meant high school, or college) He was married in 1994, through an arranged marriage.
The Essay on Social Welfare People Life One
"They are nothing but burdens to our society."They are lazy and undeserving."We need to get them jobs, not food or money."We work hard for our food, why should we use our money (taxes) to support them? It's their entire fault why our taxes are so high!" Those are the things that one often hears about people on welfare in America. Welfare recipients have always been the victim of stereotyping and ...
His parents picked out this young lady for him, and he said that through time, he did learn to love her very much, and that he was grateful to have a “success story.” He did say, however, that his wife was NOT educated, and therefore it was difficult for her to do anything, as far as working, outside the home. She stays home with the children. His oldest son is in the 3 rd grade, and the younger two have not yet started school. Something that struck me was when he told me that he and his family lived in a “joint family System.” His parents and brothers / sisters and their spouses if they are married, also live with him. He said that living in a joint family system is the most common style of living in their Country. Wanting to learn more about “Joint families”, I started researching, I was absolutely amazed to find how common it is, even in the United States.
Dr. Sus hma Mehrotra, Psychologist talks about the pro’s and con’s of living in a Joint Family. (1) According to Dr. Mehrotra, “Not every family is a happy family.” Atmosphere is the most important issue in a joint family.
If the family members are congenial, and respectful to one another, it can be virtuous. However, if there is tension and conflict, constant “back-stabbing”, undermining one another, it makes life miserable for all involved. On Dr. Mehrotra’s website, she had a link where you could post a comment or a message.
I was amazed to find that most of the posts were from women who live in joint families here in the USA. The general consensus was that of bitterness. There were a very few that was happy living in their joint families. They enjoyed the camaraderie, they never had to “hire a babysitter.” They had people that lived in the home, that loved their children as much as the parents do. But for the most part, the other women were absolutely miserable. The biggest complaint was no privacy.
The Essay on People Can Take Care of Their Family Members Better When They Live in Big Cities Than in the Countryside.
Hospital More chance to earn money Whether it is better to live in a big city than live in the countryside, the answer varies from people to people. In fact, I think the answer also varies from countries to countries. Just like In China, the development of countryside falls far behind that of a big city, so it is no doubt that people can take better care of their families and themselves by living ...
In most situations, the family home was that of the parents. (Grandparents) Actually, to be more specific, when a couple gets married, they move in with the husbands family. Many women complained that their mother in law’s treated them horribly. They undermine them as mothers. They treat them as if they are “guests in the home” instead of “housemates.” Ultimately, according to most of the women, the ones who are affected the most are the children. When you have 5-10 children living in a home together, and they are not siblings, but cousins, sometimes the children are treated very differently which causes unhealthy competition and feelings of envy.
Hussain, made it very clear that in his situation, it is very good. He quotes ” I love my family and work, we are living in a joint family system, my parents and brothers / sisters also live with me, this is most common living style of our country. We live together with love and smiles, we always share our joys and sadness.” Pakistan is a part of Southern Asia. It borders the Arabian Sea.
India is on the east, Iran and Afghanistan is on the west and China in the north. (2) The area of Pakistan compares to slightly less than twice the size of California. (2) The climate is mostly hot, dry desert; temperate in northwest; arctic in north. (2) As of July 2004, the estimated population was 159, 196, 336. (2) 97% of the people in Pakistan are Muslim. Christian, Hindu and other 3%.
(2) The Capital of Pakistan is Islamabad. Their government type is “Federal Republic.” They gained independence from the UK on August 14 th, 1947. They have a national holiday known as Republic Day on March 23 rd (1956).
The Essay on Balancing family and work
With very little time in a day that we spend awake, life can seem like a complicated juggling act. Most of us have more balls in the air than we can handle. We drop a ball from time to time even more or less depending on how balanced or unbalanced our life is. Some of the balls are more important than others, dropping the important ones can be disastrous. While dropping the less important ones ...
(2) The population that lives below the poverty line is more than 35%. (2) Pakistan’s fiscal year is from July 1 st to June 30 th. (2) Pakistan suffers from ” agricultural runoff exacerbated by ongoing deforestation and industrial runoff have polluted water supplies, factory and vehicle emissions have degraded air quality in the urban centers.” (3) In 1987 only about 6 % of rural residents and 51 % of urban residents had access to sanitary facilities.
In 1990 a total of 97. 6 million Pakistani’s, or approximately 80% of the population, had no access to flush toilets. (6) Potable water was brought in within reach of nearly half the population, they enjoyed such access by 1990. Medical researchers from Pakistan Medical Research Council recognized that a large proportion of diseases in Pakistan is caused by the consumption of polluted water.
(6) Air pollution is another huge problem in Pakistan, as it is in most cities. There are no controls on vehicle emissions, which are responsible for 90% of pollutants. “The National Conservation Strategy Report claims that the average Pakistani vehicle emits twenty-five times as much carbon monoxide, twenty times as many hydrocarbons, and more than three and one-half times as much nitrous oxide in grams per kilometer as the average vehicle in the United States.” (6) Pakistan’s population and density: the people are not evenly distributed throughout the country. On average, there are 146 persons per square kilometer, but the density varies dramatically, ranging from scarcely populated arid areas, especially in Balochistan, to some of the highest urban densities in the world in Karachi and Lahore. (6) Women are looked at very differently in Pakistan, than here in the US. In most instances, only the poorest women work.
If they do work, they often work as midwives, sweepers, or nannies, for compensation outside the home. More often, poor urban women remain at home and sell manufactured goods to a middleman for compensation. Very few families willingly admit that women contribute financially to the family home, to avoid being shamed. There is very little information about the work that women do. (6) I found, that in my research one of the most interesting things about Pakistan, was the “Criminal Justice System.” They have an extensive penal code of some 511 articles. Much of the codes deal with crimes against person and properties, including the crime of “dacoity” (robbery by armed gangs) and the misappropriation of property.
Adult Learning Skills Stress Life Work
Do you feel stress in your life? Does this affect the way you live and work? Many things currently going on in one's life, such as work, health, family and finances, can cause stress. It is how we individually identify the root cause and begin working on managing them effectively. As adult learners, there are various aspects of our work life that cause each of us some form of stress. We discovered ...
Pakistani’s do impose the death penalty, as well as imprisonment. In 1979, the President issued new laws that punished rapists, and adulterer’s and the “carnal knowledge of a virgin” by stoning; the first time someone was caught stealing, the punishment was amputation of the right hand. Consumption of alcohol was punished by 80 lashes. Stoning and amputation has not been carried out since early 1994.
(6) Those are some “Facts” on the country itself, but after I found out that my friend Hussain lived in Sindh, I wanted to find out a little more about where he was from. That is when I found out that Sindh was a state. He actually lives in a small town, but I don’t know the name of that. The people of Sindh are also known as “Sindhi’s.” They are the second largest ethnic group in Pakistan.
Sindh lies in the southeastern portion of the country, bordering India and the Indian Ocean. The majority of the Sindhi are engaged in irrigation farming. Their main crops include wheat, rice, cotton, sugarcane, various fruits and oilseed. The Sindhi’s living in cities often work as merchants, physicians, lawyers, and teachers.
The houses that they live in are made of mud and baked brick, they are built very close together for security reasons. Even the very small homes are surrounded by high walls. The houses are designed so that male guests never see the women. The Sindhi women traditionally dress in the long black dresses, with heavy veils that cover their faces.
They rarely leave their homes, only for special occasions, or to visit relatives. The male is definitely the dominant authority figure in the home. The Sindhi’s generally don’t marry outside their own social classes (caste-like groups) Marriages between 1 st cousins are preferred, however, long engagements are common. (5) There are two religious holidays that are closely related to birth: The naming of the child, and the shaving of its head. During the naming ceremony, the father whispers “Allah is great” into the ear of the newborn so that Allah’s name is the first name the child hears.
The Essay on Adults Because Certain Childhood Life Person Child
Childhood history has a lot to do with how we live as adults because certain childhood events could trigger something that would last a life time. Take for example if a child fails at something and the parent does nothing to help the child, the child will grow up thinking that failing is alright and that he or she will have a hard time in life with their job or in school or life in general. Many ...
The head shaving ceremony is a symbolic act of sacrifice. The child’s head is shaved and the hair is buried along with the bones of a sacrificed goat. As I read and researched and talked with my friend, I learned many fascinating things. In some ways, I feel so “burdened” for these people. Does that make me spoiled? No, I think Thankful is the word. Even though I may feel burdened for them, they don’t know anything different, so their lives are very “normal” to them.
They believe that “WE” are the strange ones! It’s ironic. I learned through this research paper, that no matter how bad life seems sometimes — and as a single mom, in school full time, and teaching piano on the side, very little money coming in… there are days that life seems pretty bleak-but I am raising my children in the greatest country in the world, and I’m THANKFUL.
