You Only Live Twice: Midlife as a Creative Transition Into Our 'Second Act' Abstract Our rising life expectancy mandates a re-design of our life span and redefines midlif‘ e’ both technically and conceptually. Lagging behind other life stages in its scientific study, midlife is often connoted with a ‘crisis’ of sorts. Yet historically, midlife represented an apex in life; moreover, conclusive ‘crisis’ evidence has yet to emerge. Some manage to thrive in midlife by maintaining an attitude rooted in The Good Life, a concept tracing back to Aristotelian ethics. Positive psychology, the science of what makes life worth living, has studied The Good Life in modern times and contributed to understanding midlife in well-being terms. Together with neuroscience, positive psychology can help dispel myths regarding midlife, reframing it from the onset of decline into a creative transition for our ‘second act’ based on an enhanced sense of authorship.

These sojourners are confronted with societal norms different from their home cultures. The present study investigated the extent to which international student sojourners perceive differences in emotional display norms between their home and host cultures, as well as the influence of such perception on adjustment. Although accurate perception of the host culture’s emotional display rules was not related to adjustment, a “guest” effect existed. Specifically, international student participants reported that one should

  • Yarrow Man out I-Xxii 1-312.Indd
    CHAPTER 1 American Men on the Sidelines The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. — Henry David Thoreau, “Economy” No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble. — Tupac Shakur, “Thugz Mansion” Twenty to twenty- five million men— the population of Florida or Texas— are on the sidelines of American life.1 They have the same Y chromosomes as the men you see at work, the men who play with their children, go out with their wives or partners, are involved in their communities, and earn a living to save for their children’s education and their families’ retirement. But these “men out” are doing few if any of these things. They are still counted by the U.S. Census, but for all practical purposes they are absent from much of mainstream life. What they do doesn’t register in either the gross domestic product (GDP) or in the glimmer of a child’s eye. They aren’t engaged in their communities or country. Viscerally, we know these sidelined men are out there. But they don’t fit old stereotypes of failure. We haven’t been able to name them or come to grips with who they are. We haven’t identified the problem or its dimensions. Why is this happening? What can we do? We see separate problems like white men who aren’t working, who are angry, whose education ended long before 1 2 Man Out a bachelor’s degree. We see black men whose lives don’t seem to matter.

  • Ethnicity and Its Issues and Perspectives: a Critical Study
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 07, 2020 Ethnicity And Its Issues And Perspectives: A Critical Study Sanjay Kumar1, Dr. Gowher Ahmad Naik2 1Research Scholar, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Department of English 2Assistant Professor Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Department of English. Abstract: Ethnicity is a complex phenomenon. It is a highly controversial, disputable, problematic term that does not have any fixed meaning and is used as a less emotive term for a race. Ethnicity is a social construct like race, but the main difference is that race refers to phenotypical differences, whereas ethnicity refers to cultural differences. Ethnicity helps an individual to identify with a larger group, and one’s ethnicity may identify an individual. Too many writers like Max Weber, Michael Brown, Wsevolod Isajiw, etc. have discussed many features to define 'ethnicity.' To explain and outline an apparent meaning for ethnicity, authors like Fredrik Barth, Abner Cohen, Michael Hechter, etc. have postulated different approaches such as primordialism, instrumentalism, materialism and constructivism. Robert E. Park has contributed to the theory of ethnicity by focusing on assimilation theory. Authors like Omi and Vinant have openly opposed this theory and considered the immigrant as the basis of ethnicity. The chief motive of this paper is to discuss the shifting meanings of ethnicity and to depict the purpose behind the divisions based on ethnicity. Keywords: Race, Ethnicity, Classification, Primordialism, Instrumentalism. 1. INTRODUCTION Categorization is part of life. We classify people to gain access to them and to identify them quickly. Without classification, it would be difficult to define and identify worldly objects and human beings.

  • 'Acculturation' in Relation to Diasporic Cultures and Postcolonial Identities
    Paper Human Development 2001;44:1–18 Rethinking ‘Acculturation’ in Relation to Diasporic Cultures and Postcolonial Identities Sunil Bhatia a Anjali Ram b aConnecticut College, New London, Conn., bRoger Williams University, Bristol, R.I., USA Key Words Acculturation W Cross-cultural psychology W Cultural identity W Diaspora W Human development W Immigrants W Postcolonial theory Abstract In this article, we reexamine the concept of ‘acculturation’ in cross-cultural psy- chology, especially with respect to non-western, non-European immigrants living in the United States. By drawing primarily on postcolonial scholarship, we specifi- cally reconsider the universalist assumption in cross-cultural psychology that all immigrant groups undergo the same kind of ‘psychological’ acculturation process. In so doing, (1) we consider some of the historical and political events related to immigration in the United States; (2) we question the conflation of nation with cul- ture that emerges in many theories of acculturation; (3) we use the notion of diaspo- ra as theorized in postcolonial studies to rethink the concept of ‘integration strategy’ as developed in cross-cultural psychology. Our article has implications for general issues of culture and self in human development, and particular issues in the area of acculturation. Copyright © 2001 S. Karger AG, Basel Given the fact that currently 20% of all children in the United States are immigrant children [Hernandez, 1999], questions related to acculturation and migrant identity are central to human development. Much of the psychological research on the development of immigrant identity has been studied under the topic of ‘acculturation’ in cross-cultur- al psychology. Scholars working with this body of research have been primarily occu- pied with developing universal, linear models to understand the various stages of identi- ty that an immigrant might experience.

  • Writing Culture from Within
    Writing Culture fromWithin Reflections on Endogenous Ethnography* Rob van Ginkel University of Amsterdam The days when anthropology was automatically associated with accounts of 'primitive peoples' in faraway lands are gone. Though the confrontation and dialogue with others deemed 'exotic' constituted anthropology's initial raison d'etre, today it is not in the least exceptional that anthropologists study an aspect or segment of the society of which they themselves are members. Thus, - instead of studying ourselves through the detour of studying others occasionally with the justification that perceiving others as 'exotic' will ultimately lead to the - recognition of our own peculiarities (cf. Leach 1982:127) many ethnographers nowadays tend to take a short cut. This fact notwithstanding, participant observation has remained the much heralded trademark of ethnographic research. In this respect, anthropology dif fers from all other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. It is probably the distinct method of participant observation which is the reason why anthro pologists doing fieldwork at home reflect upon the implications of their position as natives for their research and its results. At least, historians or sociologists conducting research in their own society do not seem to be as reflexive. When anthropologists predominantly went to foreign countries far afield, they considered themselves 'strangers and friends', 'marginal natives' or 'professional strangers'.1 These terms are an indication of their role as outsiders.
