Child Rearing Wrong

Child rearing can sometimes cause implications and parents need to be careful so not to reward behaviours that are bad and should not be taught. However, if a child has been punished even when they have had a good behaviour they will learn that they shouldn’t do it and will not use this behaviour again. Parents should avoid using contradictory behaviour for example when the mother tells the child off for doing something bad but then the father gives the child a hug this will confuse the child and they will end up doing the behaviour again to see what type of reaction they receive the second time. Also parents should be careful as it is easy to reinforce antisocial and undesirable behaviour as the child might see that they are being rewarded

People tend to think that cultures are specific to different countries however it can also be split into different subgroups within a society for example people from different socio-economic groups within the UK will share different aspects of culture such as how money is spent or how you should talk to your elders.

Different cultures, for example, have different rules and customs as to the amount of eye contact considered acceptable. We have to make sure that we do not insult the people that we work with by trying to fit into their culture but offending them by doing

As we live in a particular culture, society and social group, we are influenced by other people and this influence leads us to adopt certain roles and we try to live up to the expectations that go with these roles. We normally fulfil these expectations subconsciously and this expectation does not come natural for someone to adapt to, but we all take roles and our behaviour will change according to the role we are currently in. An example of this would be when a woman is visiting the zoo with her children she will take on the role of being a mother, whereas, when she goes to work she takes on the role of a colleague, a supervisor or a subordinate, and she will adopt the expectations and behaviour associated with her job role. Later if she goes out to a party she may adopt the role of a
