The Role Of Resilience In Relation To Culture

252 Words2 Pages

The construct I am proposing is if resilience, once being practiced in a spiritual or religious framework, is more significant in those families who use it going thru life difficult passages. When we choose our samples, it is also important to know how many families are reflecting the ability to bounce back, beating the odds, and finally moving on, despite any obstacles they face. Also, what kind of support do they got?, if the topics of religiosity or spiritualism were included in their therapeutic help, or if their own cultural and ethnic beliefs made them rise from adversity. How is resilience related to culture? Do different cultures can generate resilience in different ways? Accordingly, when mentioning religion and spirituality as a dimension

    Stone writes about three essential functions of family stories– to pass on the family’s standards, to identify family characteristics, and coping strategies. The first of the three functions is the standards of the family since the family act as the “first culture,” teaching people what their family values and their opinions on certain situations like marriage and illness, mental or physical (Stone 384). The second factor is the family’s characteristics and their traits that bind them together, which act as the family member’s confidence boost (384). Furthermore, this boost makes them value themselves more than the next family, so that the family members contently remain together (384). The third factor is influencing how families cope; these “teaching stories” tell each family how to function outside of the family (385).

Masten (2001) as mentioned that they are the ordinary person dealing with the challenges and tragedies of everyday real life.

Garmezy (1991) proposed three types of protective factors that make up his theoretical framework, which includes individual characteristics of the individual, a close-knit relationship with the family and lastly, social support and structure outside their immediate family. The primary factor in developing resiliency relates to the person's intelligence and character, and Garmezy (1991) states that resilient youth have above average intelligence. Garmezy (1991) defines the second factor in developing resiliency as one that includes the support of family to help with difficult conditions. The third common factor of resilient youth is external support from institutions (Garmezy, 1991).
