Learning took place

everywhere - in the home, learning

to plait pandanus into finely woven

mats and baskets; in the fields,

learning to cultivate taro and yams;

on the sea, learning to navigate

between islands.

Schools of today, unlike

traditional learning settings, are

often disconnected from home

and community. As students enter

school, their families may feel

detached from the learning

process.

FEMINIST VIEW

A system of male dominance gives husbands more power than their

wives.

Genderdefines social roles and cultural characteristics

These roles have no biological reason behind them but are culturally

dictated; therefore, they are socially constructed

These roles appear to be constructed to give men power

society

MODERNIST VIEW

This includes whether or not to get married

necessarily both

family forms such as stepfamilies
