Description - Development and Cultural Change: Reciprocal Processes: New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, Number 83 by Elliot Turiel
This volume of New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development
examines the reciprocal interaction between individual development
and cultural change--showing how participation in culture involves
not only acceptance of shared values and practices, but also
conflicts, contested meanings, and change. The authors reveal how
the processes of learning and transmission evolve along with the
culture over time, describing, for example, how diversity in
educational philosophy and practices in Japanese preschools have
arisen from a so-called homogeneous culture. The authors also
demonstrate how long-term historical change always includes both
progress and regression, and explain how individuals in positions
of power carry multiple perspectives on the culture that lead to
conflict and, ultimately, to change.
This is the 83rd issue of the quarterly journal New
Directions for Child and Adolescent Development.
