This book examines issues of citizenship, citizenship education,
and social change in China, exploring the complexity of
interactions among global forces, the nation-state, local
governments, schools, and individuals - including students - in
selecting and identifying with elements of citizenship and
citizenship education in a multileveled polity. It also provides a
clear, detailed guide to studies on China, discussing the country's
responses to global challenges and social transitions for over a
century - from its military defeats by foreign powers in the 1840s
to its rise as a world power in the early 21st century - on its
path toward reviving the nation and making a modern Chinese
citizenry. Citizenship and Citizenship Education in a Global Age is
accessible to readers in the fields of sociology, globalization,
citizenship studies, comparative education, and China's
development.
This innovative text emphasizes how communicative processes
develop, are maintained, and change throughout the life span.
Topics covered include language skills, interpersonal conflict
management, socialization, care-giving, and relationship
development. Core chapters examine specific communication processes
from infancy through childhood and adolescence into middle age and
later life.
In its exploration of the role of communication in human
development, this volume:
*overviews the theoretical and methodological issues related to
studying communication across the life span;
*discusses foundations of communication: cognitive processes and
language;
*examines communication in relational contexts and communication
competencies;
*considers communication in leisure and the media with relevance to
the life-span perspective; and
*presents the implications of the life-span perspective for future
research.
This text is intended to be used in life-span communication courses
and in interpersonal communication courses with a life-span focus,
at an advanced or graduate level. It may also be used in courses on
family communication, aging, and language development. It will
serve as a supplemental text for courses in psychology, family
studies, personal relationships, linguistics, and language studies.
The information age has revolutionized nearly every facet of human
communication-from the ways in which people purchase products to
how they meet and fall in love. These exciting new communication
technologies can both unite and divide us. People who are separated
by great distances can now communicate with each other in real
time, whereas parents often find themselves competing with
smartphones and tablets for their children's attention. This book
explores the many ways that digital communication media, such as
online forums, social networking sites, and mobile applications,
enhance and constrain social support in health-related contexts. We
already know a great deal about how the Internet has altered how
people search for health information, but less about how people
seek and receive social support in this new age of information,
which is critical for maintaining our physical, mental, and
emotional wellbeing.
