ご指名ありがとうございます。 以下のとおりお答えします。(面白い内容でした。) 訳文(および語句問題の答え): 《異なる文化が睡眠を見る方法は、一般的に態度の違いにも反映される。マヤ人は睡眠を一つの社会活動として扱い、一人で眠ろうと考えるのは難儀なことである。一方、アメリカ人は睡眠をプライバシー(B=privacy)の時間として扱い、ベッドを共有することは犠牲的行為と見なされる。アメリカ人は日中と夜間を明確に区別し、一日の各時間帯に起こり得る活動の種類を明確に区別する。一方、サン語族は夜中に起きてキャンプファイヤーを囲んで話し合いながら数時間過ごすことを何とも思わない。誰も夜通し眠ることが期待されてもいないので、彼らの中に不眠症はいない。異文化間の睡眠調査によれば、実際、西洋文化では夜間に起きているのは他の国々よりもはるかに少ないことが示されている。それでも西洋人の親は、夜間の比較的少ない独立(C=independence)期間を、赤ちゃんの睡眠がずっと軽い社会の親よりもはるかに問題が多いと見なしている。しかし、夜間に中断のない孤独な睡眠を醸成したのは産業化(D=industrialization)でもなく現代性でもない。日本の子供たちは、10代になるまで両親と一緒に眠る。他の部屋やベッドが利用可能であっても、日本の赤ん坊や幼児は両親の部屋の布団に寝る。日本人は、別個の生命体としての子どもを両親や社会との相互依存関係、特に、一人で眠られるのを好まない、母親との相互依存関係に引き込むことを求めるのである。彼女らは一人で眠ることを期待していないし、そしておそらくそれに関心を抱くことを想像すらしないだろう。母と父を第一で主要なパートナーとし、子供をその主要関係に従属させるのが理想的な核家族のアメリカ版とは違って、日本人にとって家族とは、夜を共有するという概念で、父親は外に置いた母子(だけの関係)を志向する傾向がある。》

B、C、Dは、下の語句から選ばれているのはほぼ等しいです。 機敏さ、自主性、産業化、プライバシー 態度の違いはまた、異なる文化が一般的に睡眠を見る方法を反映しています。マヤ人は睡眠を社会活動として扱い、一人で眠ることは困難であると思いますが、アメリカ人は睡眠をBの時間として扱います。ベッドを共有することは犠牲と見なされます。アメリカ人は日中の夜間と日中の各時間帯に起こり得る活動の種類を明確に区別しています。一方、サンは夜中に起きてキャンプファイヤーで数時間過ごすことについては何も考えていません。誰も夜通し眠ることが予想されないので、彼らに不眠症はありません。実際、異文化間の睡眠調査では、夜間の目覚めは西洋文化では実際には他の国々よりもはるかに少ないことがわかっています。それでも西洋人の親は、夜間の比較的少ない期間のCを、赤ちゃんの睡眠がはるかに軽い社会の親よりはるかに問題が多いと見なしています。しかし、それはD、つまり現代性だけではなく、夜間の中断のない孤独な睡眠を促進しました。日本の子供たちは、10代になるまで両親と眠ります。他の部屋やベッドが利用可能であっても、日本の赤ちゃんや幼児は両親の部屋の布団の上に置かれます。別の生物としての日本人は、特に母親日本人と一人で眠らないことを好む親と社会の相互依存関係に引き込まれる必要があります。彼らは期待していません、そしておそらく一人で眠ることに興味があることを想像してください。日本人にとって、家族は夜を共有するという概念で、家族は母親と子供を志向する傾向があります。

    Since parents control who sleeps where, it is their everyday beliefs that dectde sleeping arrangements. In those cultures in which the prime parental goal s to integrate children into the family, the household, and society, babies are close at hand, even during the night. It is primarily in those societies (mostly in the industrialized West, especially in the United States) where a premium is placed on independence and self-reliance that babies and children sleep alone. Underlying this unconscious societal even more damental assumption made by Americans and some other groups- how we that children from day one has a major effect on how they turn out as adults. This philosophy is not shared by all cultures. The Mayans; for example, see mother and infant as one until that cannot be separated, and believe offspring are not ready for guidance until they can speak and reason, when they are older children. Newborns in their culture are not capable of being trained, and, they feel, should just be cared for. Sleep, in other words, can take nuance. And the basis for that morality is, of course, culturally constructed. American parents believe it is morally "correct" for infants to sleep alone and thus learn alertness ). They view child-parent co-sleeping as strange, psychologically unhealthy, and even sinful. Those in co-sleeping cultures see the Western practice of placing an infant alone as wrong and a form of child neglect or parental irresponsibility. Parents in both kinds of cultures are convinced that their moral structure is "correct" .

    parents today ,say some social critics ,have a special dilemma to deal with. on the one hand,there is the pressure of competition the need for mons and dads to give their kids a head stars in life , to make sure their sons and daughter keep ahead of their peers in the race to success. As a result,parents push kids to grow up too fast , boasting that their boy or girl is already reading at age two, for example, or taking college level math courses in middle school .on the other hand, modern society is fraught with dangers of all kinds (particularly what the BBS calls the sexualization and commercialization of childhood by TV , movies,games,and ads that target kids ) to which parents respond by helicopter their children,hovering over them, solving all their problems,overprotecting them.

    Many of America`s adolescents drive while drowsy, oversleep, and get sleepy in class: They are going through life sleep-deprived. Only 20 percent of teens get the recommended nine hours of shut-eye on school nights, and more than one in four report sleeping in class, according to the recent poll by the National Sleep Foundation. What`s more, the poll finds that parents are mostly in the dark about their adolescents` sleep habits. While most students know they`re not getting the sleep they need, 90 percent of parents polled believe their adolescents are getting enough sleep on school nights. A quick sampling of teens by a news reporter found the poll was on target, with most saying they have trouble getting up in the morning. 17-year-old Carl Woock is one of these typically tired teens. He let the reporter follow him through a typical weekday, during which exhaustion surfaced several times. It starts with an alarm clock and getting ready for school, where Carl`s classes in suburban Maryland start at the early hour of 7:30 am. For some, that`s just too early, and he often falls asleep in class. Thinking is one of the things that gets sacrificed without enough sleep. "In the competition between the natural tendency to stay up late and early school start times, a teen`s sleep is what loses out," said Dr.Jodi A. Mindell. Another researcher pointed out that puberty changes the body`s "circadian rhythm." She explained that an 8 to 10-year-old is able to fall asleep at 9 at night, but a 13 to 15-year-old has their circadian rhythm shifted, so that they`re not able to fall asleep until 12 at night naturally. She warned that there`s more in a teen`s life that`s affected by sleep deprivation. She said, "They are moody. Depression is a concern. It affects every aspect of their lives." Without enough sleep, a person has trouble focusing and responding quickly, according to the National Institutes of Health. The agency also said there is growing evidence linking a continuous lack of sleep with an increased risk of serious illness. The National Sleep Foundation reported that nearly all youngsters have at least one electronic item, such as a television, computer, or phone in their bedrooms. Adolescents with four or more such items in their bedrooms are much more likely than their peers to get an insufficient amount of sleep at night. They are also almost twice as likely to fall asleep in school and while doing homework. For many teens, one solution to the problem comes in a cup, with many saying they drink lots of coffee. The caffeine may help teens perk up during the day, but it might be only masking the underlying biological reason for their sleep habits. Teens might want to take some advice from experts, who recommend saying goodbye to the entertainment zone in the bedroom, cutting out caffeine after lunchtime, setting up a daily sleep and wake-time routine, and being aware that trying to catch up on your sleep at weekends upsets your natural body rhythm.

    Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them,with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one's life is nonsence in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say,゛But suppose they fail to learn something essential,something they will need to get on in the world?" Don't worry! If it is essential,they will go out into the world and learn it.

    日本語訳をお願いしますm(_ _)m Consider the conversations that we overhere as if we were invisibule, not really there, standing beside someone using a cell phone in a public plac e. The "it" factor is all around us. Earlier this year, at the lical post office, I overheard a man standing that he and his spouse really shouldn't be punching the children because one day the kids might tell their teachers. Observe parents with children in baby carriages or in parks. Many no longer interact with those children, introducing them to the community. Instead, parents are on cell phones, ignoring their public. They are "it's", too. When many of us were being raised, parents who did not interact with us in public were either alcoholic or dysfunctional. And even those thought us three words that saved many of us from injury or death: Look both ways. Children reared by cell phone parents do not look both ways when they step off the curb. Nobody has informed them of the danger.

    But it's important for worried parents to bear in mind that regardless of race and schooling, any child growing up in Japan - playing with Japanese kids, eating Japanese food, watching Japanese TV - will become thoroughly Japanese by default, and attending the local school with the other children in the neighborhood is the best way for him to fit in. 構文がとれません。 だれか簡単でいいので訳していただけませんでしょうか? よろしくお願いします。

    of course,overparenting is far superior to no parenting at all,since parental neglect is known to be the root cause of a variety of emotional and behavioral problems iin children,even, most disturbingly,psychopathy, or so suggests robert hare in his 1993 book about the subject,without conscience. but helicopter-or over-parenting has its own consequences,not so extreme perhaps, but serious nevertheless. a study of university students by neil montgomety, a psychologist at keence state college in New hampshire,found that students with helicopter parents were more apt to be neurorotic than students with non-helicopter parents. they are less flexible and open to new ideas, as well as shier,more nervous, and more sensitive to criticism. about such students montgomery concludes,we have a person who is dependent,who is vulnerable,who is self-conscious,who is anxious,who is impulsive and undisciplined.not open to new actions or ideads. is that going to make a successfui college student and person? no,not exactly,it is really a sad story at the end of the day.
