My first subject was brought up in the UK, and they were highly dependent of their parents. He
could not be left to do anything alone before he was 14 years. The kind of upbringing that he had
has made him incompetent as well as dependent. He rarely does things on his own and requires to
be helped in performing almost every task. He does not value teamwork but expects to be helped
while he is performing his duties. In particular, he is said to be the laziest individual in the class.
My second subject was brought up in New Zealand where he was regularly beaten by his parents
as well as his older siblings. His parents believed that social competence could be achieved by
disciplining the children by physical punishment. The kind of upbringing has made him a very
respectable individual who respects everybody around him. He is thought as the most
straightforward in class and treats his peers as well as his elders with respect.
I was raised in Cuba where my parents believed that respect was the most important value in life.
I was raised to know that I should be obedient to any authority and as such they taught me to
behave and always act accordingly. The kind of my upbringing has had a big impact on my life
since I respect any authoritative figure around me including my teachers, my elders and anybody
who is in authority including prefects in our class.
