RELIGION OF HAITI
2009-03-29 21:34
Religious Beliefs. The official state religion is Catholicism, but over the last four decades Protestant missionary activity has reduced the proportion of people who identify themselves as catholic from over 90 percent in 1960 to less than 70 percent in 2000. More...

ETIQUETTE OF HAITI
2009-03-29 21:34
When entering a yard Haitians shout out on`e (‘‘honor’’), and the host is expected to reply resp`e (‘‘respect’’). Visitors to a household never leave empty-handed or without drinking coffee, or at least not without an apology. Failure to announce a departure, is considered rude. More...

SOCIALIZATION OF HONDURAS
2009-03-29 21:34
Child Rearing and Education. Urban professionals and elites are indulgent toward children, rarely punishing them and allowing them to interrupt conversations. In stores, middle-class shoppers buy things their children plead for. Obedience is not stressed. Bourgeois children grow up with self-esteem and are encouraged to feel happy about their accomplishments. More...

THE STATE OF THE PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES OF HONDURAS
2009-03-29 21:34
Perhaps the most highly developed social science is the archaeological study of the ancient Maya at the site of Copan and elsewhere in western Honduras. Much of this work is done by foreigners, but many Hondurans also conduct research. Among the applied sciences, the best known institution is the Pan-American School of Agriculture (Zamorano), near Tegucigalpa, where scientists and students conduct agricultural research. Zamorano attracts an international student body and faculty and offers the best practical education in commercial agriculture in Latin America. The Honduran agricultural research Foundation (FHIA) on the north coast, was once a research center for the banana industry. It is now supported by the Honduran and United States Government s and other donors and conducts research on tropical crops. More...

MARRIAGE,FAMILY, AND KINSHIP OF INDIA
2009-03-29 21:34
MarriageAlthough the different regions and religions have considerable variety in marital arrangements, the arranged marriage is a traditional feature of virtually every community; today, except among the urban middle classes, it still is widely practiced. Marriages that are not arranged by the couple’s parents, often termed ‘‘love marriages,’’ are looked down on as impulsive acts of passion. The more usual style of marriage unites a couple who have barely met beforehand. It is through the institution of arranged marriage and its correlate, caste endogamy, that parents exercise control not only over their adult children but also over the social structure and the caste system.

RELIGION OF INDIA
2009-03-29 21:34
Religious Beliefs. In the 1991 census, 82 percent of the population was enumerated as Hindu. However, 12 percent of Indians are Muslim, a fact that makes this one of the largest Islamic nations in the world. The next largest religious category is Christians, who make up only over 2 percent of the population and are closely followed in number by Sikhs. The only other groups of numerical significance are the Buddhists (less than 1 percent) and the Jains (less than half a percent). More...

SOCIALIZATION OF INDONESIA
2009-03-29 21:34
Child Rearing and Education. In the government education system, generally, quantity has prevailed over quality. Facilities remain poorly equipped and salaries remain so low that many teachers must take additional jobs to support their families. More...

SOCIAL WELFARE AND CHANGE PROGRAMS OF INDONESIA
2009-03-29 21:34
The responsibility for most formal public health and social welfare programs rests primarily with government and only secondarily with private and religious organizations. From 1970 to 1990, considerable investment was made in roads and in health stations in rural and urban areas, but basic infrastructure is still lacking in many areas. Sewage and waste disposal are still poor in many urban areas, and pollution affects canals and rivers, especially in newly industrializing areas such as West Java. Welfare programs to benefit the poor are minimal compared to the need, and rural economic development activities are modest compared to those in cities. The largest and most successful effort, the national family planning program, used both government and private institutions to considerably reduce the rate of population increase in java and other areas. Transmigration, the organized movement of people from rural java to less populated outer island areas in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and West Papua, was begun by the Dutch early in the twentieth century and is continued vigorously by the Indonesian government It has led to the agricultural development of many outer island areas but has little eased population pressure in Java, and it has led to ecological problems and to ethnic and social conflicts between transmigrants and local people.

SOCIAL WELFARE AND CHANGE PROGRAMS OF IRAN
2009-03-29 21:34
The islamic republic of Iran is replete with charitable organizations. It is incumbent upon all Muslims to devote a proportion of their excess income to the support of religious and charitable works. This contribution is voluntary, but the Government collects this tithe and uses the income to support hospitals, orphanages, and religious schools. The Government is also committed to rural development projects. A movement called the ‘‘sacred development struggle’’ (jihad-e sazandegi) was launched early in the islamic republic and was successful in bringing important development projects—electrification, drinking water and roads—to remote rural areas. There are many small private charitable organizations organized to help the poor, fatherless families, children, and other unfortunate citizens. The Iranian Red Crescent Society (the local version of the Red Cross) is active and important in the instance of national disaster. Iran is a net exporter of charity to neighboring countries. It has assisted with disaster relief in Central Asia, the Caucasus, Lebanon, and the Persian Gulf region. More...
