Drawing on in-depth interviews with remarried Mainland mothers, the study compares the ways in which different family compositions, that is, the presence or absence of non-shared and common children, may shape marital conflicts and affect remarital relations in cross-border stepfamilies. Results indicate that although cross-border remarriages with different family compositions may share certain sources of conflicts, each specific type of remarriage is prone to particular sources of conflicts. This study also demonstrates how the migration of Mainland children can greatly change remarital dynamics and stepparent–stepchild conflicts often entangled with disputes over other issues. The research fills a major gap in the literature on stepfamilies and marriage migration that pays little attention to the post-migration marital dynamics of international remarriages.","PeriodicalId":421989,"journal":{"name":"American International Journal of Social Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123829088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Researchers asked Mid-westerners from the dominant culture to tell stories of their experiences with people from other cultures and how they felt about people from diverse backgrounds. Stories were vital to this study. People live storied lives that describe the human experience. Researchers attempted to assess the participant’s experiences by critically examining their stories. Researchers examined the data using a structural framework that emphasized work in sociology, education, and the social sciences as well as theoretical perspectives rooted in critical theory and analysis, conflict theory and theories of enculturation and acculturation. Story transcripts were analyzed several times throughout the coding and categorization data process. Three specific influences: social stratification, media, and social pressures heavily influenced three emotional responses: fear, sensitivity and regret in participants shared interactions with people from other different cultures. The goal of this study was to critically examine the views and experiences of the dominant culture regarding cross-cultural communication with the assumption that more crosscultural communication may lead to healthier relationships and peace across cultures.","PeriodicalId":421989,"journal":{"name":"American International Journal of Social Science","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127350932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By examining this complex relationship among language, ethnicity, nationality, and how people define themselves culturally through a historical examination of the languages and peoples of the Greater Iran (Central and West Asia) as one social group with shared ancestry, homeland, cultures, and languages, the article further argues that a common approach will help to correct the mis-labeling of and mis-conceptions about these languages, and encourage greater understanding.

The study adopted the descriptive studies method and the social survey methodology. A questionnaire was prepared and distributed on the study sample that consists of (63) volunteers to identify their major social characteristics and features and to ask them about the forces that motive them to be involve in the volunteer work. After that, the T-Test will be implemented to show the statistical differences in the volunteer motivations, according to the gender variable. The results on the social characteristics of volunteers came to show that majority of the study sample members are men, from the age group (41-50), of middle-income, and have their own job. The results also showed that (65%) of the study sample members are retirees and camp residents, where the majority of them are married and don't have high degrees. In addition, the study showed that (54%) of the study sample members are continuously active in the volunteer work. The study showed that order of motivations towards volunteer work was as follows: (social, cultural, human, ethical, then the personal, and finally the religious).

Rousseau was deeply worried about inequality among men, since its consequence is freedom and utmost good inhibition. So, in the transition between wild to political stage, man has preserved and changed his particularity as a free Being. One can affirm that Rousseau started a new moment over sovereignty in which people are the collective being of this supreme will. This is to say that Civil State is a being of reason and, only rational Will can create it.
