DESCRIPTION |
|
| This book presents a study of value-orientations of people in an interacting frame of culture on the one hand, and modernization and education as by-products of the techno-scientific strides on the other. The multivariate frame of the study on the dimension of stability versus change, of our socio-cultural beings provides a dynamic perspective of self evaluation as well as the meaningfulness of the direction of our growth and development. It focuses an experimental cum cross-cultural study of the adults. The cross-cultural approach is used with a view to formulating regularities between phenomena and making scientific generalization. It is a study of people of cross cultures of Nepal and India, especially, value orientations, as guides of human behaviour and as determination of a man's life-space. The book highlights the value orientation priority profile of adults of Nepal and India. The objective set for this cross-cultural multivariate factorial study can be briefly stated to locate differences in value-orientation that sustain life-span of both the people of Nepal and India, and also to map out the multivariate impact of modernization, education and culture in value-orientation of people. It also assess bivariate-trivariate interactions among modernization, education and culture during their simultaneous operations upon value orientation. Further it also explores new vistas of research that may prove useful not only for mobilization of human and cultural resources but also better understanding as envisaged by the SAARC programme. The book is organized into 5 chapters: The Conceptual framework, The Design and Methodology, The Six 2x2x2 trivariate factorial experiments, The Results and Discussions, and Summary, Conclusion and Suggestions. It is quite encouraging to note that people of both the countries have positive orientations in values of cosmopolitanism, scienticism, venturesomeness, democratism, progressivism and Empathy. The structuring of the "life space" of people at both the places is congenial and full of optimism. The culture of Nepal, in comparison with that of India, predominantly associates with the value orientation of democratism. Democratism exists as the positive and on the dominance versus tolerance dimension within 'eqalitarian' model of social organization. It focuses equality, brotherhood and diffused social hierarchy. It has been observed that Nepalese culture lays emphasis upon more frankness to friends than to blood relations. It is more tolerant and egalitarian than the culture of India. |
