As a teenage girl in Cairo, Egypt is locked away in her home,
studying madly for a upcoming high school exam. A teenage boy rushes down
the fields of Brazil handling a soccer ball and his future. Another teenage
boy in Rajasthan, dessert in Northwestern India is guided seven times
around a sacred fire as a custom to cultural marriages. Some teenage
experiences are different and some are the same. These are the factors that
could affect the teen's culture, geography, goals and parents expectations.
By reading this essay you can interrupt different and same teen experiences.
Also you maybe able to understand other teens around the world better by
learning of their experiences in life.
Different teenage cultures will affect them differently. In some
parts of India culture is law and you must respect that if you leave in
those regions. "Tradition is law in most villages." (Small wedding, 1996)
This quote is reference to my argument. In Bajasthan dessert in
Northwestern India, boys are married at 10 to girls at the age of 7. These
arranged marriage ceremonies are a custom to their culture. When they reach
their teenage years they may not have mush education and not a lot of hope
of reaching their highest goals. This may happen because they will be
confide to their marriage and paying respect to their elders. This boy
experiences traditional culture and the other culture is modern. Modern
culture incorporated with economy has made child marriage irrelevant to
those who have the background of modern culture.
Teenage boys in Brazil are customed to soccer because of their
geography. Boys here will not be worrying about marriage until they are in
their 30's. They will be more concerned about getting to every young
Brazilian's teenage fantasy, being a soccer star with fame and fortune.
Soccer is very important in Brazil to everyone and mostly to all teenage
soccer players. " Sports are important in Brazil, especially soccer."
(Turning 16, 1991) This quote was in the video recording of Turning 16
which shows that the geography of Brazil is based on soccer. Most soccer
players will not reach their highest goal of becoming a professional soccer
player but those who are in strict organizations will have an education to
fall back onto. Those teens that do become a professional soccer player
will live their life of marriage and kids after they finish playing soccer.
This experience and the early marriage experience are totally different
because one teen lives in a closed area of tradition and the ...
