A Case Study of Ten Chinese Children Under the Care of Children's Placement Services
Abstract
Background of the Study. It is common knowledge among anthropologists and psychologists that what is fundamental in growth is common to everyone and it is applicable to all peoples regardless of cultural differences. On the other hand, what is proper to an individual is the product, in greater or lesser degree, of the particular culture in which he is born. The quality and the degree of influence exerted by that culture depends directly on what the child is taught by his parents and this in turn depends on what they were taught by their parents. Indirectly, impressions are acquired unconsciously in his family and his groups through language, literature, habits, customs, standards, tradition and basic attitudes to various problems in life. These cultural factors gradually become part of an individual's personality.
