Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the lives of adolescent girls in a Samoan village, offering a unique glimpse into a culture vastly different from our own. Through immersive observation and meticulous data collection, the author paints a vivid picture of these girls' daily routines, family dynamics, social interactions, and evolving understanding of their place in the community. By contrasting the experiences of Samoan girls with those of their counterparts in Western societies, the author challenges assumptions about the inherent turmoil of adolescence. This book invites us to question whether the challenges faced by young people are universal or rather shaped by the specific cultural contexts in which they grow up. Exploring themes of cultural determinism, the plasticity of human nature, and the influence of social environment on individual development, this book offers profound insights into the complex interplay between culture and adolescence. Ultimately, it compels us to reconsider our own cultural norms and their impact on the journey from childhood to adulthood. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
