As a teenage girl in Cairo, Egypt is locked away in her home,
studying madly for a upcoming high school exam. A teenage boy rushes down
the fielRAB of Brazil handling a soccer ball and his future. Another teenage
boy in Rajasthan, dessert in Northwestern India is guided seven times
around a sacred fire as a custom to cultural marriages. Some teenage
experiences are different and some are the same. These are the factors that
could affect the teen's culture, geography, goals and parents expectations.
By reading this essay you can interrupt different and same teen experiences.
Also you maybe able to understand other teens around the world better by
learning of their experiences in life.
Different teenage cultures will affect them differently. In some
parts of India culture is law and you must respect that if you leave in
those regions. "Tradition is law in most villages." (Small wedding, 1996)
This quote is reference to my argument. In Bajasthan dessert in
Northwestern India, boys are married at 10 to girls at the age of 7. These
arranged marriage ceremonies are a custom to their culture. When they reach
their teenage years they may not have mush education and not a lot of hope
of reaching their highest goals. This may happen because they will be
confide to their marriage and paying respect to their elders. This boy
experiences traditional culture and the other culture is modern. Modern
culture incorporated with economy has made child marriage irrelevant to
those who have the background of modern culture.
Teenage boys in Brazil are customed to soccer because of their
geography. Boys here will not be worrying about marriage until they are in
their 30's. They will be more concerned about getting to every young
Brazilian's teenage fantasy, being a soccer star with fame and fortune.
Soccer is very important in Brazil to everyone and mostly to all teenage
soccer players. " Sports are important in Brazil, especially soccer."
(Turning 16, 1991) This quote was in the video recording of Turning 16
which shows that the geography of Brazil is based on soccer. Most soccer
players will not reach their highest goal of becoming a professional soccer
player but those who are in strict organizations will have an education to
fall back onto. Those teens that do become a professional soccer player
will live their life of marriage and kiRAB after they finish playing soccer.
This experience and the early marriage experience are totally different
because one teen lives in a closed area of tradition and the other lives
a life of fame and world recognition. Also one teen will experience
marriage early and the other will not experience marriage until his dreams
of being a soccer player is over.
All teenagers have goals in life from reaching fame, to being a
star or achieving high marks in school. A teenage girl named Aman lives in
Cairo, Egypt studying long hours at home preparing for upcoming exams at
her high school. Exams are very important to her and the rest of her
classmates in her school. "There is a obsession to pass high school in
Cairo, Egypt." (Turning 16, 1991) This quote explains why most teenage
students study long hours and sometimes not let out of the house. An
experience that all teenagers go through is that they have goals in life.
The boy who lived in India might have had the goal of reaching the point of
his marriage. Teenage boys in Brazil have the dream of becoming a
professional soccer player. Aman has the dream of scoring high in her
studies and getting into a good university or college. All of these
teenagers have hopes and goals for their future. Also teens have a common
experience of having parental expectations. Teens have parental
expectations because
all parent's teens want there kiRAB to have a happy future and a
prosperous life. The parents of the boy who lived in India might have had
the expectation of having their son becoming married and living happily
with his new spouse. The parents of the Brazilian teenage soccer players
may have wanted their son/daughter to reach professional soccer playing.
So that when the son/daughter reaches high wages in pro- soccer he can come
back and support his own family money wise. Aman's parents would have
wanted her to reach high grades and get into university. Then from
university get married and if necessary a job that requires education.
These teens may not have the same parental expectation but parental
expectation is among what they experience.
After reading the following, you may have a good idea of how
culture, geography and expectations affect teenage experiences. There were
three different standardize of teens that were introduced into your
understanding of pubescent experiences. By understanding more about teens.
You could have a larger insight on adolescents. Some teens are different
and some are the same. So that means that we all experience some things
together and some different out of our control. So when you read articles
about other teens around the world maybe you should stop and think before
you say to yourself gross, ewe, freaks and other miscellaneous comments
about what they must go through and their goals. Because maybe they will
read a article about Canadians and they will say the same. Gross, ewe,
freaks………….. …gratifying, interesting ,insight.
