Contents of the experiments must be kept confidential till the day itself to prevent any forms of biasness. Picco et al. (2017) also indicated Singapore ethnic groups as the “Chinese, Malay or Indian ethnicity”, meaning each race should be treated fairly and to ensure the smoothness of the test. Any form of social or strong political views should not let their ideas and beliefs get in the way of the experiment. Lilienfeld’s, (2017) article has emphasized that “researchers overlook the distinct possibility that their assumptions are guided by sociopolitical values that they have neglected to explicate”. This is to prevent any forms of inaccuracies in the experiment. Also, researchers leading the tasks should clarify any forms of doubts (Lilienfeld’s, 2017) to prevent any disagreements which could affect participants interest in the experiment

From a government website, quantitative data collected has displayed lower recidivism rates in a five-year analysis as rates from 27.6% in 2012 has dropped to 23.7% in 2016 in Singapore. Data of incarceration rates also showed similarity to recidivism rates. Also taken in the country, from a scale of 100,000, there was a steep drop from 252.2 in 2012 to 230 inmates in 2016. Some of the reasons for the declining offending rates could be due to motivation and support given by their loved ones. Paat et al.’s (2018) supported that as “strong family ties and a stable work history decrease recidivism (acting as potential turning points”. That means individuals who have strong family support were likely to be successful in reintegration. These data are appropriate for the study as I aim to link with my research question on loved ones influence to stop advise loved ones to stop breaking the law.

Another five-year analysis of population of inmates have maintained at a range of 1400 from 2014 to 2018. Also, the numbers of individuals have sought treatment when up from 1360 in 2017 to 1461 inmates in 2018. Possibilities of them getting their basic needs of financial and emotional help (Paat et al. 2018) such as counselling and rehabilitation could be due to networking being done by from their family members. This data indicated the effort and support portrayed by individual’s loved ones in the process of reintegration. Hence, this variable on population of inmates supports my research question.

Lastly, data displayed a huge drop from 81% in job retention for 3 months to 63% in the subsequent 3 months in Singapore. This drop could be due to the factor of bad habits such as alcohol and abuse in maintain employment. Harding et al.’s (2014) article mentioned that’s “Downward transitions were often accompanied by addiction relapse or by crimes intended to generate economic resources”. This transition could be due to their lack of emotional stability and discipline when it comes to acknowledging their bad habits. In return, getting fired could contribute to lack of acceptance among family members. This could take a damaging turn to weak family ties. This data on job retention indicated the importance of financial stability and provided a better understanding of the difficulties ex-convicts faced in job stability.

In this review, the process of reintegration was a daunting task for these individuals. Firstly, without proper resources and motivation, they would struggle to get back on their feet (Wright et al, 2018). A strong foundation, such as positive family relationships (Paat et al. 2018), gives them a sense of need and belonging. Which will give them additional motivation and drive to stay clean. According to my research, I decided to focus more on how families could be known as their pillar of support. Without support of family members, these individuals could not benefit from the connections and networks (Paat et al. 2018) that they could provide. Although some individuals could certainly be knowledgeable and more independent to seek help, those with limited resources could face a bigger struggle. Hence, the focus on the importance of ex-convict’s families in providing privileges and welfare was more beneficial to my research question.

Secondly, the indication of how a someone’s character could be influenced due to external influences by family or peers. My research also focused on how individuals were being influenced negatively from young. In return, it gives a better understanding that some individuals may not be fortunate to have caring family members. An example of negligence in teaching would be the prevention of adopting antisocial norms and their exposure to harmful habits such as alcohol and substance abuse (Hamilton, 2014). A lack of training given for them to adopt pro-social behavior such as socializing (McNeill et al.’s 2012) could have contributed to their malleable behavior (Besemer et al. 2017). My review shows that though certain families could bring out the best in their child, some do bring out the worst instead.

However, instead of putting the blame on the family members, some of teachings could also be taught to parents of convicted individuals (Paat et al. 2018). Since my data was regarding convicts of Singapore, my research could suggest them to take part in corrective rehabilitation programs to properly educate (Wright. 2018) on responsibilities of a parent when it comes to facilitating their convicted child. Since it takes two hands to clap, both sides could take this opportunity to finally reconcile (Harding. 2014) for their mistakes. In addition, they gave more room to establish a positive relationship. A possible gap in my research would be to include more details of community supervision programs. This could in turn give us insights as to how not only loved ones could influence ex-convicts to stop breaking the law, but also on social and healthcare workers.

It is not just about the amount of food they eat is also the lack of exercise that makes this a recipe for disaster. Many children are inside playing video games, watching television, or engaging in sedentary behavior ( Grossklaus and Marvicsin 69). Technology is also playing a huge role in this epidemic, yet is still not the one to be reprimand. Parents have the obligation of making sure their kids are not in any type of danger. Some of the things parents can do in order to help their children are teaching them at home what types foods should be avoided at and which ones they should eat in a regular basis, making the go outside and play games that will make their heart rate go up and gets blood pumping all over their bodies for at least 30 minutes, and try to focus on a healthier lifestyle and not just an image or a number on a scale (Childhood obesity).

An overweight problem can not only affect our physical health, it can and will damage our mental health as well. Many kids experience bullying and low-self esteem due to their physical appearance. Not fitting in with their peers can cause an irremediable suffering to a child and that is just because their parents felt it was okay to over feed them. As a society we make it seem that eating fast food almost every day and staring at a phone or Tv all day cannot do us any harm. The younger generations do not do as we say, they only imitate us. They think if the people with most experience and knowledge know about how unhealthy all this junk food is why do they keep eating, and why are they trying to stop me from having some.

That is why the problem starts at home with the excuse that parents also need a break a due to how drained they are are from work or their daily activities, they think having take out once in a while cannot be so bad. Which is untrue since parents and also kids become accustomed to this pattern, fast food once a week will turn into three times and it will only get worse. Those meals are not in any way beneficial to anyone, they are not design to keep you full for a long period of time, they can be call empty calories. Foods that contain empty calories usually have more calories than what we actually need to maintain a healthy weight (Komaroff Np). Fast food chains do this in order to make their customers come back for more. All big name companies do not care about the well being of kids, teens, and elderlies, they only care about how much profit they are making from the public and they ignore all the health problems connected to the product they manufacture.

Many big name companies are making money at our children expense not just by giving out toys with the purchase of a kid’s meal, they also advertise themselves on Tv on average five food related commercials are air per hour, most featuring junk food (Galea Np). Parent need to take action and stop anybody or anything from trying to entice or manipulate their kids into doing or buying something. Parents need to take control and put a limit on how much Tv they can watch (Murphy Np). This will not only decrease the propaganda from the junk food, it will also make kids do something productive.

Childhood obesity is something that is almost one hundred percent preventable, but it does not depends on a child. Parents have an obligation and that is to take care of their children. Over feeding kids is just as bad as any other cruel punishment. The damage done by this practice is not only shows on their body, it is also seen internally. Thinking that filling up kids with tremendous amounts of processed food and drinks that are filled with sugar is okay. Not taking the time and showing how to make the right decisions when it come to what young teens and kids put into their bodies is one of the worst form parents neglect their children.

This behavior will never end if caregivers and parents do not inform their offsprings on how to live a healthier life that includes a well balanced diet that includes some type of exercise no matter how light it is. The things parents do now will affect their kids for their whole life and will definitely set the way for the future generations in a bad way. Best thing adults can do is to take full blame for what they have been doing and change their old ways and start immediately trying to fix the damage.

Development of baby is directly proportionate to caring and nutrition of the mother. Development process takes about 24 months. In the first month, baby needs predominantly breast milk, since it contains all the nutrients necessary for the development of the baby, and it immunizes baby against infectious diseases. In this month, a baby is very sensitive in terms of hearing, digestive system, sleep pattern. The baby, who has a low vision yet is very sensitive to the sounds around him, can sleep 2 times more than completely development person in terms of sleep. After this month, the baby starts to make conscious movements and the sleep pattern returns to normal, he hears the sounds around him and starts to have not difficulty seeing the objects. The baby, who can express his feelings through conscious movements, starts to get his feet up. Also, you will able to hear your baby’s first word with his new tooth.

Animals that have a short growth period compared to babies need their mothers just like babies. Especially, for dogs and cats this period can be shorter, they complete their development about 4-6 months. Firstly, their features that resemble babies are not limited to mother. A baby who needs to build up the immune system against diseases requires constant breast milk and spend most of his time sleep and feeding. Other than that, since their visual and hearing sensations are poor when they are born, so they can find their mothers just by sniffing. Within 2 weeks from the moment of birth, a baby who starts able to see learns to walk and drink water. Baby begins to barking or meowing and to play with his brothers between in 3-5 weeks and he is gradually weaned. Therefore, after weaning, the only thing it’s needed to do for mother prevent biting his brothers. Babies who completed their development acquire their social behaviors. In terms of social behaviors animals and babies share similarities such as trying to know the environment, needing the mother to feel safe, and social intelligence, they both like to show their skills that learned within the development process.

A study by Science Advance has found that a genetic change indicates a direct link between social behavior in both dogs and humans. Another study by psychologists and behavioral scientist states that the love of animals creates miracles and developments in children. According to experts “Love of animals has enormous effects in preventing discrimination and violence among children; The children, who look after their pets, are more sensitive to the needs and feelings of their friends, and as a child with a sense of empathy, one step ahead in life begins. The child’s love for animals and their love, taking responsibility for their care supports the development of the child in many areas such as social, emotional, mental and physical development and gaining skills in areas that are weak are also important contributions.” In a social setting, if there are pets, children are more talkative and more open to communication with each other. It is one of the most entertaining jobs for the child to tell the child feeding with her. On this occasion, the child who develops speaking skills and vocabulary also makes it easier to make friends and socialize. This makes it difficult for children to be sick. The subject of the disease has explained in research conducted at Kuopio University Hospital in Finland. Between 1996 and 2004, 3143 children who were born from pet-owner families have compared with their children. According to this, it is revealed that children who have grown up with pets like cats and dogs until 1-year-old are healthier than children who have not grown up with pets. A running cat or a running dog the child, a child can’t help himself without running when he together with a pet and this makes the child’s body healthy physically. All these mental and physical benefits are based on communication with dogs.

Actually, we are able to understand what they say with their eyes. Research shows that eye contacting and caressing with the dog stimulates a process similar to that of oxytocin in the human brain and that the same thing happens for the dog. This relationship is the same as between parents and their babies. In this study, researchers who use the feeling of fear to tell the relationship, when dogs are scared or uneasy, run to their owners. Giving the example of young children who are under stress take shelter from their parents and they both doing running movements with their eyes, before starting to running they looking for their mother or owner. The other animal is the cat, in general, most of the people describe them as an ungrateful yet has denied that thanks to scientists who are Moriah Galvan and Jennifer Vonk from Oakland University, Michigan, USA, have researched cats. The result of Galvan and Vonk shows that cats are more compatible with human emotion than human thought. Compared to cats and dogs, we cannot say that the relationship between cats and people is as good as dogs. However, cats have contributed a lot to people mentally and physically. Animals can also make different sounds in different situations like humans. One of these sounds, the purring of cats, purr decreases the stress and anxiety that are important issues in the modern world. The relaxing effect of cat purring is thanks to the fact that there is a continuous purring in low frequency. Cats and dogs are two distinct species. These species are the most popular pets since they compare in general. By their nature, they are different from each other as both behavior and to fit into society. Nevertheless, it doesn’t end up by counting the benefits of these pets to the babies and children.

The labor methods used in the late 1500’s involved serfdom, where only a select few would be educated and wealthy. Then the Renaissance took place from 1300-1600, which led to more merchants and artists to become increasingly wealthy. The Enlightenment would then occur, changing views on Catholic beliefs. Children were assumed to be innocent lumps of clay ready to be sculpted into strong adults, affecting child-rearing practices in Europe from being strict physical and educational practices to becoming less intense and verbal, nonphysical implementations.

In the 16th century, the envisionment of children was as pure and as precious as one’s innocence. This is clearly evident in Pieter Brueghel’s Children’s Games from 1560, exhibiting flocks of children innocently playing with each other and with toys. All of them are clearly enjoying their childhoods and show all of the positive aspects of a child’s life. Pieter Brueghel painted Children’s Games in the year 1560, before the 30 Years’ War and before the Renaissance, when wars on religion were not occurring and views on the minority were not prejudiced.

Therefore there is no prejudice exhibited in the painting making it an accurate and reliable depiction of childhood in the 16th century. In A Summary of Sins, Jean Benedicti explains that the correct time for a child to not obey their father or mother is when they are told to do a sin, whether it be a swear or to lend money with usury. This was an effort to preserve the innocence of all children since doing sin would taint their purity.

Jean Benedicti was a Franciscan preacher and has an intended audience of churchgoers for his Summary of Sins, which makes him have strong ties with moral beliefs, making his statements about what a child should do if commanded by their parent or guardian to commit sacrilege and minor sins very trustworthy. Yet if a child disobeyed their parents or do something to upset them, severe punishment would be in store for the child because nothing would be said as to what a parent should do if the act was a mere trifle. In a letter to Madame de Montglat from 1607, King Henry IV complained to her that he hasn’t received word that she has had his son whipped if he misbehaved at all because he was whipped as a child as well. King Henry IV relied on his own fathers’ techniques because he did not have proper ways to raise his boy. There were no real guidelines to safely and painlessly raise a child into a strong and mature adult without tainting the child’s childhood. King Henry IV has a private intended audience of Madame de Montglat who he instructs to have his son whipped if he misbehaves, making the affirmations in his letter to be credible.

Later in 1762 Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a philosopher that tried to change the status quo on the ways of treating children produced Emile or On Education. He specifically states that not giving children any constraint would spoil them and would have them completely void of discomforting experiences. This would cause them to not become experienced and fully matured adults. Yet having too many constraints would eventually numb the child and would make them not feel anymore. Rousseau is supported by the Duchess of Newcastle Margaret Cavendish which says in her letter describing her upbringing that she was raised in a disciplinary way by her mother which never involved physical action, but verbal persuasion and virtues which were able to lead to her successful life. A similar sort of upbringing was shown in William Blundell’s An Exercise for the Children to Embolden Them in Speaking with the Father in the dialogue was angry about a wronging of his daughter and decides to punish her, not physically, but to the point where she would understand the severity of her sins and would try to mend her wrongdoings. This would, in turn, change the way child-rearing was done, but not the way people would perceive children as innocent beings with the potential of being something much grander.

In my safe haven, everyone would have a four day work week and a three day weekend, so you have more time to spend with your loved ones. Life is so short, and we spend most of our time at work. It makes any sense to work so hard for stuff when you miss time with our loved ones who could be gone any day. People would have less stuff but know more and be more inspired to further themselves, and create bonding time with their family. Children would have more time with their parents and communities to explore their surroundings. People would know their neighbors and everyone would be open-minded and accepting of those that are different. I feel like this will be a great way to experience other cultures and become more diverse. Which would eliminate the idea of racism. I believe racism is taught at a young age. When your younger, your mindset is not really focused on the way someone looks or the color of their skin. You just want to play and have a good time. It starts at home and the community around.

There would be traditions in this holiday that involve music, crafts, arts, dance, love, joy. Etc. I know a lot of confusion might come into the picture. There would be no police force or army needed. Because there was no crime. This holiday would create a bond that hate or jealousy would exist. It would create a peaceful state of mind and people would all help out to make safe haven work. The ultimate goal is to ensure all the residents are happy.

Sometimes scholarships are very specific in a lot of cases and people who really need them and desire them a lot don’t get them. I visualize excellence in everyone in my safe haven.

Some families think that they save their family honor by marrying their young girls,who are still receiving an education.Some cultures in Pakistan and India believe that if a girl lost her virginity before marriage,she is directly judged as being a source of shame for her family.In the beliefs of the Pakistanian society,engaging in sexual relationships is banned in their culture and demands for serious actions;where the young terrified girl should instantly be protected and covered from the shame that she caused by spoiling her family’s reputation and honor by marrying the man that she slept with or might even be the man that raped her just to make her parents feel proud and not shameful (Tanzeem 2015)!For example,in the story of a fourteen years old girl,named Raeena who lives in Pakistan,Raeena demonstrates that a family’s honor is more linked to girls than boys,for she says:I was worried about my honor”. Due to her mother’s and father’s pressure to marry her off early,Raeena,who is fourteen years old,felt useless and shameful for not getting married at this age,so she got the urge to be with a husband who is twenty-one years old to feel peaceful and proud and not forget the main process here,that is making her parents proud of her,as being a young housewife and stopping her education and pursuing her dreams,just to make a family of her own and so she could bring pleasure to the man that her parents assigned it to her (Tanzeem 2015).As mentioned before,child marriage is common for both sexes: males and females;a recent study by the child advocacy group plan International claims that females in Pakistan marry at a significantly younger age than males,and that is due to their sexual maturation that occurs before boys who usually hit puberty at a later stage (fourteen to fifteen).The number of percentage of girls who marry at a very young age creates a fear for social activists : 60 to 70 percent is recorded for girls getting married in rural areas at the age of twelve (Tanzeem 2015).The main explanation behind this significant increasing number is due to a huge lack of awareness that such parents have.This lack of awareness affects their young,powerless girls more than their boys(Tanzeem 2015).In any case,can Family Honor,be the only reason of such a crime or more underlying, meaningful causes could come across Underage Marriage?

In the following,I am going to discuss what are the reasons that India is dealing with to reach Underage Marriage as a solution for the problems that are manifesting in the Indian society and causing major issues.Poverty and the lack of financial resources,are considered one of the most corporate motives for young children getting married at a very fledgling age.In”Girls not Brides”, a study done by the UNICEF,over the last decade India has witnessed an increased rate of marriage for girls between ages fifteen to eighteen (“Child Marriage Act” 2006).India has the highest number of child brides in the world,where it is estimated that 27 percent of girls in India are married before their 18th birthday,and it goes up to 69 percent in Bihar(“Girls not Brides”).The main factor that causes this very specific high number and makes India rank one of the highest country in child marriages is poverty.Indian parents,see their girls as an economical burden and they feel that they are not able to handle it anymore(“Girls not Brides”).At first,they forbid their girls from continuing their education, and they start training them to be housewives to their husband who expects them to be one. Their parents do not see in them a potential to continue their education;they only look at them as a source for money income. However,taking the right of these poor girls to continue their education,and controlling them and limiting them in a bubble of fear,increase the young girls’ vulnerability and depression that may lead to very stressful and worrying results on their psychological,physical and mental and social health.

Human Rights attorney Zia Ahmed Awan says that:”the underage marriages and forced conversions  are blemish on the face of our society and all stakeholders including government need to take serious steps to end the menace,adding this sensitive issue mostly affects children and young people,it is also a grave violation of rights”.(“Pakistan Press International; Karachi”)(2017).He also held a press conference with the parents of a victim and emphasized that,if we want a change,we should start seeking it and work hard for it,and most importantly,is to start with campaigns and activities throughout which we are able to raise awareness for both parties:the parents and the victim.For example,”the national child protection authority in Sri Lanka has decided to cancel 300 marriages until the children reach the minimum limit age which is eighteen”(“Daily Mirror Colombo”).A lot of NGO’s have started to act to limit this problem and more specifically,they started to attack directly the main sources and origins that were causing Underage marriages to happen.Effective work has been conducted in order to limit poverty,raise awareness to parents who lack basic and minimal knowledge,creating more and more public schools for girls to continue their education for free;in addition to fundraising events to collect money to supply the young girls with the material that they need for their education(“Girls not brides”).

& Son was started by an Italian immigrant named Raffaele Iaccarino after settling in Worcester, Massachusetts. The company started off by doing wood working jobs. Eventually, Ralph expanded into making refrigerator cases. The company was eventually taken over by Ralph’s sons Carl and Joseph who expanded the company yet again. Eventually, sole ownership went to Carl. Carl named the company Iaccarino & Son. Carl ran the company successfully during two recessions. In 1992 Carl’s son Fran had joined his father at the family business.

At some point in a family owned business the time comes when you must decide to if you pass the business onto others in the family. This decision cannot be taken lightly. Not only is this a business decision it is often a person and an emotional decision to make. Which is this case for Carl. Iaccarino & Son was started by his father hard work and determination. Likewise, Carl had spent his adult life building the company up and making it successful. It is never easy for person to step back from their position of leadership. Carl was reluctant to say that he took the business as far as he could. Carl was uncertain of the change that Fran was wanting to implement. Carl, quite simply, was comfortable and was afraid of change that he did not fully understand.

The recession in 2008 happened it had devastating impact on Iaccarino & Son that was truly felt three years after the recession. The company should have started planning for the years to come as soon the signs of recession effected the economy. They should have cut cost buy reducing staff or by slowing or stopping expansion projects. The company could have sold off assets to reduce their debt. The company had some bad contracts and canceled contracts that produced a lot of debt. The company could have diversified the type of work that it was doing by going into different markets; much like Raffaele did when he first started the company. The best piece of advice is not to be afraid of change. Scaling back a company during a recession is just as important as expanding during a good economy.

Dowry, what is it? A dowry is defined as “Property or money brought by a bride to her husband on their marriage.” (Google) Now this is not practiced very much in modern day times, but there was a time where this was a very common practice. So we are going to take a look at how this process happened. The way that we are going to do this is by conducting a cross cultural research project on eight cultures, by using a standard reference database in Anthropology.

Although when it comes to the lineage filiation rights, they do remain with the wife lineage. In addition to this if anything such as a divorce and/ or the death of the wife, the transfers get reversed. What is interesting is that the amount of what is returned (Bride Wealth) is less for each of the children and the duration of the wife’s services. Another interesting point is that is the female remarries within the lineage there is no reimbursement due.

The second culture is the Ubena this culture was chosen due to the fact that their marriage is cross cousin. For them, In the past, the bride wealth was broken up into three parts, or “hoes” with each of these hoes playing the role of being separate payment that will fulfill a special function. Although do to the ranching lifestyle, there were times where cattle and goats were thrown into the agreement. The interesting this to me was that the Mtema does not have to pay the bride wealth when the marriage is cross cousin, and he sometimes declares Watwa Wenyelutenana, from these payments in similar circumstances. As a result of this, the cross cousins are looked at as his wards. He then had more matrimonial control that the parents did. If the female in this situation had already reached puberty the so called “suitor” will most likely obtain her consent secretly, they will then present her with an object such as a stick or piece of string as a token

For the third culture I picked the Yi culture, I chose them due to their range of freedom being quite a bit. The marriage type for the Yi culture is usually a monogamous one. The partners for marriage must have the sank rank among the culture along with they must be of a different patrilineage. When it comes to who they marry, they are like the Ubena. The reason I say this is because cross cousin marriage is preferred, whereas marriage with ones parallel cousins is strictly prohibited. In the past, parents had the final say in the arrangement of a marriage even though young people had considerable social freedom compared to the Han population. Another aspect tied to the marriage is that it is quite normal for the bride’s family to ask for a heavy betrothal price, particularly among the Black Yi. Delayed transfer marriage was common, with the young bride remaining at her parental home until the first child was born. In some instances, ceremonial kidnapping of the bride was the custom. On the grooms side, he would have pre arranged people at a certain time to take the girl and carry her away on horseback to the groom house.

For my fourth culture I chose the Gond, I chose them due to the fact that they are so different from the other cultures being able to work for the bride. Among them, as in many other parts of tribal India, there is an arrangement whereby youths from poor families who cannot afford the price of a bride can serve for her for three, five or seven years. In Bastar such a youth is known as Lamhada, Lamanai, Lamsena or Ghar Jamai. The relations between the Lamhada and his future parents in law is not always a happy one, and it is complicated by the intimate proximity in which he has to live with the girl to whom he is not yet married. Sometimes, however, especially if the Lamhada happens to make the girl pregnant, the marriage is celebrated before the end of his term of service, making them different from the other cultures that I have chosen thus far.

tendencies. Child marriage is regularly practised, little Toda boys and girls being betrothed before they are three years old, preferably to their matchuni or cross cousin, that is, the son or daughter of their father’s sister or of their mother’s brother. If no matchuni properly speaking is available, some other child, classified as such by extension of the term in accordance with Toda kinship usages, is generally chosen, the rules of endogamy and exogamy being, of course, observed.

For my sixth culture I chose the Nenets. In exchange for the bride-price the parents of the bride provide her with a dowry. For each 8 reindeer which they obtained from the bridegroom, they give a sledge to which are harnessed two reindeer, a choom, several nyuk, women’s clothing, baked bread, cow’s butter and venison, and at the end of each year the daughter comes to the father and takes away one reindeer. Both sides, having come to an agreement, grow freer in their conversation and designate a day for receiving the payment for the bride; then the groom’s father invites 129 the outsiders who, having helped catch the reindeer, now all ride to the bride’s choom, where the matchmaker slaughters a reindeer as a treat for the bride’s relatives, and the bride’s father reciprocates with the same thing, and presentations of raw meat begin on both sides.

For my eighth culture I chose Ila. Each kraal group possesses a number of cattle which are said to be owned by the residential collectivity. These cattle, known as ing’ombe chibuwe also known as cattle of the hearth, are the collective resource pool from which residential supporters and non-residential kinsmen may ostensibly draw upon to meet their social obligations cattle for bridewealth, cattle for ritual slaughter, cattle for exchanges and loans, or cattle for paying compensation. It is anticipated that the pool will be replenished through natural increase, cattle received as bridewealth, as an exchange or a loan, as a share of an estate, or as a compensatory payment. Hearth cattle, however, are not seen as a grab bag from which group supporters may freely help themselves when an occasion of need arises.

A man is the one who controls economic power within his family. Being head of his family he is not bothering about his own expenditure but he gives a patriarchal check on his wife expenses. Nina is heavily dependent on her husband economically because she has no income. After involving in sex therapy, Ananda has an illegal affair with a white Canadian girl Mandy, and spends a lot of dollars for her. When her wife purchases a sweater for three hundred dollars, on seeing the bill he scolds for her extravagance. Even though he is free to make money, he tries to exhibit his dominate power over her expenditure.

Financial control over women is one of the main acts of patriarchy by men. This is especially true if the woman is not working and/or is financially dependent on the man who is earning. In this way, if a woman does not have any money of her own, it then curtails various other aspects of her life that involves certain expenses. She cannot socialize, buy herself necessities, have an emergency fund, pay for health needs, or even something paying for transportation. She thus can be confined physically and financially. (21)
