George's marriage to Ella is his second one; his first wife was from an arranged marriage in Pakistan that left him unhappy. Yet he was able to incorporate aspects of development theory within his own life to find a new wife who he is (mostly) pleased with in a Western environment, and even owns a successful fish and chips restaurant. In his romantic life and in his economic life, George is able to evince some of the best qualities of development theory and modernization by taking his best assets and (literally) marrying them with those from a Western society to update and contemporize his life and his source of income.
However, what George does not take account of is the fact that he must allow the same degree of leniency from his religion and tradition that he permitted himself in marrying Ella to his children. In this sense, East is East explains development theory and modernization in a negative aspect due to the dearth of George to allow his children to fully actualize these principles into their own lives. One of George's sons whose marriage is arranged to a grotesquely unattractive Pakistani woman is actually in a loving relationship with a traditional Caucasia British girl by the name...
However, George's disregard for his son (Tariq) and his own autonomy in choosing a partner for life is in direct opposition to the principles of development theory which attempt to find a peaceful co-existence between the merging of societies and culture. For the most part, the distraught husband and disliked father merely indicates his own ability to permit his children to successfully modernize in a Western society by holding them to standards of Islam that seemingly only apply to them when he is around.
Ideally, development theory and modernization are best achieved by coupling the best assets of one culture or country with another and facilitating some sort of compromise in which shared values and goals are achieved. George is able to do this for his own life, but tries his hardest to prevent his children from doing so. The result is identity crises that stem from these problems of immigration and the cultural antecedents of George's native Pakistan. The principle facets of development theory and modernization that work for George are explained to the viewer as things which the father will not permit for his offspring -- who rebel against him because of that fact.
Life-Trajectory of Kevin Development Theory: The Life-Trajectory of Kevin Kevin was born on a sheep farm in 1942, halfway between Canberra and Melbourne. As a young man he left farming to work in construction in Melbourne, where he met and married his wife. They raised three children together, but the marriage faltered once the children left to start their own lives. They separated amicably, continued to stay engaged with their families,
In other words, the question that needs to be answered is, how did psycho-social identity differences create such deep rifts in a society that was in fact closely related by intermarriage and years of living closely together. This leads to the conclusion that there are other social and political factors that need to be taken into account in order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the events, as
24). The findings of this study challenge accepted notions concerning the efficacy of the teacher-initiated initiation -- response -- feedback (IRF) sequences that are delivered in whole group teacher-fronted environments. Based on his findings, Baynham argues that "teacher and students are robustly claiming interactive space in classroom talk, bringing the outside into discussion. This data, drawn from narrative and classroom data in case studies of Adult ESOL classrooms, points to
(the Teacher's role in developing social skills) Role of Workplaces: Respectable work is seen as a social standard based on harmonizing and mutually collaborative policies to advance rights at work; employment; social protection and social dialogue. It tackles a basic ambition of women and men everywhere, that is, to get respectable and productive work in situations of freedom, equality, security and dignity of human labor. This ambition stresses a collective attempt
al. 11). In the same way that European colonialism itself depended on a limited view of the world that placed colonial subjects under the rule of their masters, European theory was based on a view of literature and identity that had no place for the identities and literature of colonized people. Postcolonial theory is the ideal basis for this study, because in many ways the process of developing a
