Abstract:As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic disrupts established daily routines, it underlines the role that families play in redefining social order and reorganizing people's economic and social lives. In this paper, we investigate methods that Chinese and South Korean families have adopted to cope with the rapid changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. We emphasize families' responses to sudden changes in three domains: education and home schooling, economic downturn and unemployment, and mental health challenges. By integrating online education and remote working into a new form of family life and sharing economic and emotional risks among members, families shape social order during a period of unprecedented uncertainty. We highlight the fact that family members experience intensified work-family or school-family conflicts. Disadvantaged families are the most severely affected, as they are at high risk of job loss and lack proper protections. The absence of institutional protections and interventions has created further economic and emotional hardships for these vulnerable families. Informal and nonregular workers require more stable labor market conditions for the well-being of their families. Future research may include a systematic data collection and analysis of disadvantaged families, as this would offer a better understanding of the challenges and untenable choices that families face during times of crisis.Résumé:Alors que la pandémie de COVID-19 en cours perturbe les routines quotidiennes établies, elle souligne le rôle que jouent les familles dans la redéfinition de l'ordre social et la réorganisation de la vie économique et sociale des gens. Dans cet article, nous étudions les méthodes adoptées par les familles chinoises et sudcoréennes pour faire face aux changements rapides provoqués par la pandémie de COVID-19. Nous mettons l'accent sur les réponses des familles aux changements soudains dans trois domaines: éducation et enseignement à domicile, ralentissement économique et chômage, et problèmes de santé mentale. En intégrant l'éducation en ligne et le travail à distance dans une nouvelle forme de vie familiale et en partageant les risques économiques et émotionnels entre les membres, les familles façonnent l'ordre social pendant une période d'incertitude sans précédent.

Abstract:The Southern United States, the fastest growing region in the nation, is comprised of the largest number of states and home to the largest population of residents compared to the other three U.S. regions.

Abstract:The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted Zambian life. Prior to the pandemic, persistent levels of inequality across urban/rural, educational, and socioeconomic divides characterized Zambia's health and family patterns. Zambia's government reacted decisively to the threat, shutting down many businesses, schools, and other social gatherings prior to the first confirmed cases. Fortunately, the country has not had many deaths. The indirect effects of COVID-19, however, on Zambian families mean many have lost income (via a reduction in the size of both the formal and, particularly, the informal sectors) and many businesses struggle with increased costs and reduced revenues. The healthcare system, particularly in rural areas, is strained. While the effect on the education system likely will not be fully visible for many years, it is likely that fewer children will pass their examinations this year, thereby reducing human capital in the next generation. In contrast, Zambia's wealthy, often concentrated in the two economic and population hubs of Lusaka, the capital, and the Copperbelt province, are spending greater time with their families while using their substantial resources to maintain their standard of living. The ability to engage in physical distancing varies as well, with the privileged able to do so by staying home and shopping at smaller, more expensive (but less patronized) shops while the poor crowd into congested neighborhoods and markets. These deep inequalities will likely continue to shape Zambian society in both the near and long-term future, well after the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 has faded from collective memory.Résumé:La pandémie de COVID-19 a perturbé la vie zambienne. Avant la pandémie, les niveaux persistants d'inégalité entre les zones urbaines / rurales, éducatives et socioéconomiques caractérisaient la santé et les schémas familiaux de la Zambie. Le gouvernement zambien a réagi de manière décisive à la menace, fermant de nombreuses entreprises, écoles et autres rassemblements sociaux avant les premiers cas confirmés. Heureusement, le pays n'a pas fait beaucoup de morts. Les effets indirects de COVID-19, cependant, sur les familles zambiennes signifient que beaucoup ont perdu leurs revenus (via une réduction de la taille du secteur formel et, en particulier, du secteur informel) et de nombreuses entreprises ont du mal à augmenter leurs coûts et leurs revenus. Le système de santé, en particulier dans les zones rurales, est tendu.

摘要:2019冠状病毒病大流行扰乱了赞比亚人的生活。在大流行之前，城市/农村、教育和社会经济差距之间持续存在的不平等程度是赞比亚健康和家庭模式的特点。赞比亚政府对这一威胁做出了果断的反应，在第一例确诊病例出现之前，关闭了许多企业、学校和其他社交聚会。幸运的是，该国的死亡人数不多。然而，2019冠状病毒病对赞比亚家庭的间接影响意味着，许多家庭失去了收入(通过正规部门，特别是非正规部门的规模缩小)，许多企业面临成本增加和收入减少的困境。中国的医疗体系，尤其是农村地区的医疗体系，已经不堪重负。虽然对教育系统的影响可能在许多年内都不会完全显现出来，但今年通过考试的孩子可能会减少，从而减少下一代的人力资本。相比之下，赞比亚的富人通常集中在首都卢萨卡和铜带省这两个经济和人口中心，他们花更多的时间与家人在一起，同时利用他们的大量资源来维持他们的生活水平。保持身体距离的能力也各不相同，有特权的人可以呆在家里，在更小、更贵(但光顾较少)的商店购物，而穷人则挤在拥挤的社区和市场。在2020年的COVID-19大流行从集体记忆中消失之后，这些严重的不平等现象可能会在近期和长期的未来继续影响赞比亚社会。rsamsum:新冠病毒的pandmie de COVID-19扰乱了赞比亚的生活。首先是pandsammie，首先是samsammie，最后是samsammie，最后是samsammie，最后是samsammie，最后是samsammie，最后是samsammie，最后是samsammie，最后是samsammie。赞比亚政府批准了一项法令，即批准了一项法令，即批准了一项法令，即批准了一项法令，即批准了一项法令，即批准了一项法令。在此之前，我们一直在努力弥补这一缺陷。这些影响间接影响到2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)，依赖于赞比亚家庭(特别是非正式部门)的显著改善，以及私营企业(特别是非正式部门)的改善，以及增加私营部门(特别是非正式部门)的改善，以及增加私营部门(特别是非正式部门)的改善。Le system de santore，特别是les zones农村地区，是一种趋势。如果你对系统的影响不确定，那么你可能会对系统的影响不确定，你可能会对系统的影响不确定，你可能会对系统的影响不确定，你可能会对系统的影响不确定，你可能会对系统的影响不确定。在复仇中，赞比亚的财富，在卢萨卡的两个中心，在卢萨卡的两个中心，在卢萨卡的两个中心，在卢萨卡的两个中心，在首都和铜带省，在工人和工人中，在家庭中，在公共设施中，在资源中，在维持生活中，在生活中。lacapacitaise ise distance physiquement variacement, laprivileys ys, laprivileys, lafaire en抗拒，lamaison, lafaisant, laachats, lamagasins加petits, lachres (mais moins fracquentsams)， lapovres, ladaise, laquartiers, lamarchsams, concecs。Ces深处inegalites continueront probablement de la法国这样zambienne法庭等领域,好然后乘缆车pandemie COVID-19 2020 se所以estompee de la备忘录集体。

Abstract:This work focuses on family functioning and mental health difficulties during confinement due to COVID-19 in Spain from the perspective of the counselors who collaborated in the psychological helpline services. A total of 56 helpline psychological counselors from 4 different services participated in this study. The principal results of this study highlight four important aspects: 1) the confinement has generated and/or aggravated previous family and mental health problems; 2) a lack of emotional and/or instrumental support has been the most frequent family problem; 3) anxiety symptoms and feelings of loneliness have proved to be the main manifestations of mental health problems; and 4) the resources most frequently used by the callers were knowing how to regulate their emotions, maintaining an organized life, and receiving support from their family and/or partner. The implications of these results and a description of the situation in Spain are also described.Résumé:Ce travail se concentre sur le fonctionnement familial et les problèmes de santé mentale pendant l'accouchement dus à COVID-19 en Espagne du point de vue des conseillers qui ont collaboré dans les services d'assistance psychologique.

Les principaux résultats de cette étude mettent en évidence quatre aspects importants: 1) l'accouchement a généré et / ou aggravé des problèmes familiaux et de santé mentale antérieurs; 2) le manque de soutien émotionnel et / ou instrumental a été le problème familial le plus fréquent; 3) les symptômes d'anxiété et les sentiments de solitude se sont révélés être les principales manifestations des problèmes de santé mentale; et 4) les ressources les plus fréquemment utilisées par les appelants étaient de savoir comment réguler leurs émotions, de maintenir une vie organisée et de recevoir le soutien de leur famille et / ou de leur partenaire.

Abstract:Globally, COVID-19 has caused disruption to all social institutions and sectors of the economy. Projections are that the pandemic is likely to deepen hardships already experienced by various groups in society, especially the vulnerable. As COVID-19 continues to unfold and spread, it has become apparent that the virus and its associated problems are more than biomedical issues. Against a backdrop where researchers and practitioners from public health, epidemiology, and medicine are dominating research, discussions and publication, the article advances the argument that sociologists are well qualified and positioned to explore the social causes, social consequences, and responses to COVID-19. Sociological input is pivotal to comprehensive understanding and development of effective responses to the pandemic. In this context, and specifically focusing on the family despite the complexity and dynamism attendant to this institution, the article contributes real-time insights on how the pandemic is unfolding in Zimbabwe and the associated responses, or their absence. The paper addresses lacunae in availability of quality and meaningful understanding of the pandemic particularly from the perspective of the family as the basic unit of any society in both urban and rural contexts. The lived experiences and situated meanings of COVID-19 at the family level are important in interrogating its implications to communities, the future and social policy.Résumé:Globalement, COVID-19 a perturbé toutes les institutions sociales et tous les secteurs de l'économie.

Abstract:The main purpose of this paper is to discuss how COVID-19 has impacted Korean families. The economic well-being of Korean families has been threatened because many family members lost their jobs or earned reduced incomes due to the pandemic. COVID-19 substantially changed the work environment and has provided the momentum for the growth of flexible work including telecommuting in Korea, which was not commonly used before the pandemic. However, the work-from-home arrangements created an ambiguous boundary between work and family, particularly among employed mothers because childcare facilities and schools were closed during COVID-19. The postponed 2020 school year started with online schooling in April, and children in secondary schools often continued private education during the pandemic. Although COVID-19 provided an opportunity to build emotional ties for some families, many Korean families who were stuck at home experienced relational difficulties. Socioeconomic and gender inequality along with discrimination against certain groups were heightened. Our analysis of social media posts showed that childcare, schooling, and religion were important domains of family life during the pandemic. We conclude that COVID-19 has changed the meaning of home in Korea from a place to sleep to a basecamp involving numerous major activities related to work, schooling, parenting, housework, shopping, leisure, and religion. Korean families have found it challenging to spend intensive time with their family, to share gendered family responsibilities, and to support other families. Thus, we suggest that professional and policymakers develop a new service model that is more effective for the changing family climate.Résumé:L'objectif principal de cet article est de discuter de l'impact du COVID-19 sur les familles coréennes. Le bien-être économique des familles coréennes a été menacé parce que de nombreux membres de la famille ont perdu leur emploi ou gagné des revenus réduits en raison de la pandémie. L'impact a été le plus grave parmi ceux des petites entreprises, du commerce de détail et des services. COVID-19 a considérablement modifié l'environnement de travail et a donné l'impulsion à la croissance du travail flexible, y compris le télétravail en Corée, qui n'était pas couramment utilisé avant la pandémie. Cependant, les dispositions du travail à domicile ont créé une frontière ambiguë entre le travail et la famille, en particulier chez les mères employées car les garderies et les écoles ont été fermées pendant la COVID-19. L'année scolaire reportée de 2020 a commencé avec la scolarité en ligne en avril, et les enfants des écoles secondaires ont souvent poursuivi l'enseignement privé pendant la pandémie. Un autre impact de COVID-19 a été le changement de la signification de la maison d'un espace au sommeil à un espace pour toutes les activités quotidiennes. De plus, de nombreuses familles coréennes coincées à la maison ont connu des difficultés relati

The economic well-being of Korean families has been threatened because many family members lost their jobs or earned reduced incomes due to the pandemic. COVID-19 substantially changed the work environment and has provided the momentum for the growth of flexible work including telecommuting in Korea, which was not commonly used before the pandemic. However, the work-from-home arrangements created an ambiguous boundary between work and family, particularly among employed mothers because childcare facilities and schools were closed during COVID-19. The postponed 2020 school year started with online schooling in April, and children in secondary schools often continued private education during the pandemic. Although COVID-19 provided an opportunity to build emotional ties for some families, many Korean families who were stuck at home experienced relational difficulties. Socioeconomic and gender inequality along with discrimination against certain groups were heightened. Our analysis of social media posts showed that childcare, schooling, and religion were important domains of family life during the pandemic. We conclude that COVID-19 has changed the meaning of home in Korea from a place to sleep to a basecamp involving numerous major activities related to work, schooling, parenting, housework, shopping, leisure, and religion. Korean families have found it challenging to spend intensive time with their family, to share gendered family responsibilities, and to support other families. Thus, we suggest that professional and policymakers develop a new service model that is more effective for the changing family climate.Résumé:L'objectif principal de cet article est de discuter de l'impact du COVID-19 sur les familles coréennes. Le bien-être économique des familles coréennes a été menacé parce que de nombreux membres de la famille ont perdu leur emploi ou gagné des revenus réduits en raison de la pandémie. L'impact a été le plus grave parmi ceux des petites entreprises, du commerce de détail et des services. COVID-19 a considérablement modifié l'environnement de travail et a donné l'impulsion à la croissance du travail flexible, y compris le télétravail en Corée, qui n'était pas couramment utilisé avant la pandémie. Cependant, les dispositions du travail à domicile ont créé une frontière ambiguë entre le travail et la famille, en particulier chez les mères employées car les garderies et les écoles ont été fermées pendant la COVID-19. L'année scolaire reportée de 2020 a commencé avec la scolarité en ligne en avril, et les enfants des écoles secondaires ont souvent poursuivi l'enseignement privé pendant la pandémie. Un autre impact de COVID-19 a été le changement de la signification de la maison d'un espace au sommeil à un espace pour toutes les activités quotidiennes. De plus, de nombreuses familles coréennes coincées à la maison ont connu des difficultés relati","PeriodicalId":47212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Family Studies","volume":"51 1","pages":"301 - 313"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3138/JCFS.51.3-4.006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41534911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
The idea for this Special Issue on History and Memory in Foreign Language Study grew out of a colloquium organized by the Berkeley Language Center on Sept.10, 2011, on the eve of the tenth anniversary of 9/11. This unexpected attack on the icon of capitalism in the heart of New York City had made it critically clear that Americans did not understand how they were seen in the rest of the world, nor how their worldview differed from that of other people around the world. America’s glaring lack of foreign language capabilities was subsequently singled out by the U.S. government as one of the root causes of the attack on the World Trade Center. In March 2003 the federal government funded at the tune of $56 million a university affiliated research Center for the Advanced Study of Language at the U. of Maryland. It was charged with helping to improve US intelligence capabilities, defend national security, and serve U.S. political and economic interests abroad. The main mission of this Center was to improve knowledge of less commonly taught languages; enhance acquisition and maintenance of foreign language capability by government professionals, especially at the advanced levels; advance the U.S. capacity to use foreign language skills in a wide variety of professions and situations; and improve the quality of human language technology. It was also to serve as a catalyst for nationwide efforts to tailor foreign language education in schools to the needs of national foreign policy (Kramsch, 2005). It was not the first time that the U.S. lack of foreign language capabilities was decried. In its 1979 report, A Nation at Risk , the President’s Commission on foreign languages and international studies had already sounded the alarm (Perkins, 1980). The response to this report by the foreign language educational community in the ‘80s and ‘90s had been to move from a focus on learning linguistic forms and doing patterns drills to a focus on acquiring usable skills and on developing communicative proficiency, to at least enable Americans to communicate with people from other parts of the world and to understand their ways of thinking. In the eighties and nineties, communicative competence as defined by

Abstract:The Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19 has wrecked havoc on the world's economy, health, industry, education, and social systems. While the impact of the Coronavirus is being felt by millions of individuals in the United States, this manuscript will focus on the impact of COVID-19 on African Americans, examining it through the lens of family stress theory. This focus is deliberate because when compared to other racial groups, African Americans have a disproportionately higher rate of contracting and dying from the virus, are more likely to be poor, be employed as essential workers in low-paying service jobs that substantially increases their risk of contracting and dying from the virus, and experience poor physical health. In addition to the aforementioned, this work will discuss how various components of McCubbin and Patterson's (1982) Double ABC-X Model of family stress relates to the physical, mental, and emotional health of African Americans. In addition to highlighting the unique stressors of Blacks, this work will provide future directions for researchers and practitioners.Résumé:Le coronavirus, également connu sous le nom de COVID-19, a ravagé l'économie, la santé, l'industrie, l'éducation et les systèmes sociaux du monde. Alors que l'impact du Coronavirus est ressenti par des millions de personnes aux États-Unis, ce manuscrit se concentrera sur l'impact de COVID-19 sur les Afro-Américains, en l'examinant à travers la lentille de la théorie du stress familial. Cette focalisation est délibérée car par rapport à d'autres groupes raciaux, les Afro-Américains ont un taux disproportionnellement plus élevé de contracter et de mourir du virus, sont plus susceptibles d'être pauvres, d'être employés comme travailleurs essentiels dans des emplois de service peu rémunérés qui augmentent considérablement leur risque de contracter et de mourir du virus, et connaissent une mauvaise santé physique. En plus de ce qui précède, ce travail examinera comment les diverses composantes du modèle Double ABC-X du stress familial de McCubbin et Patterson (1982) sont liées à la santé physique, mentale et émotionnelle des Afro-Américains. En plus de mettre en évidence les facteurs de stress uniques des Noirs, ce travail fournira des orientations futures pour les chercheurs et les praticiens.

Abstract:Spain is one of the countries that has been most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. As a southern European country, Spain is characterized by high levels of sociability and the vital role of the family in its social structure. The intense confinement phase raised many questions about how the Spanish family would adapt to this crisis. This study analyzes the consequences of confinement on three areas of family life: the emotional state of its members, family relationships inside and outside the home, and the impact of ICTs on families in isolation. Only statistically representative data published by Spain's main research institutes are used for this study. The results highlight the important adaptive capacity of the Spanish family, the activation of solidarity networks and the improvement in internal and external family relationships. This situation has served to accelerate the development of new technologies in the domestic sphere, with effects on the communicative relationship between its members and to open the debate on teleworking as a tool for reconciliation of work and family life.Résumé:L'Espagne est l'un des pays les plus touchés par la pandémie de COVID-19 dans le monde.

Abstract:In this paper, we discuss the impact of COVID-19 on Brazilian families, considering socioeconomic data from before and during the outbreak. The coronavirus threatens Brazil's entire population. Since May 2020, Brazil is considered the pandemic epicenter, presenting high rates of infections and deaths at least up to the end of August 2020. Families in which members may have lost their jobs or are living from informal work face the challenge of protecting themselves from COVID-19, but also of maintaining financial conditions despite the risk. Access to healthcare has proven to be more precarious for the poor, Indigenous, Black, street population, women, and LGBTQI+. Impacts on the mental health of family members who comply with social isolation and are overburdened with domestic duties, home office and their children's education by digital media are increased by stress, anxiety, and uncertainties about the future. Due to the great impact COVID-19 has provoked on Brazilian families, already existing socioeconomic iniquities increased during the pandemic. Unemployment, bad basic sanitation conditions and a high rate of informal work contrast with the situation of high-income families. The post-pandemic period will be decisive for Brazil to prioritize the recovery of its already existing public policies. We suggest the proposed initiatives be organized around the goal of mitigating adverse effects on mental health aggravated by COVID-19.Résumé:Dans cet article, nous discutons de l'impact de COVID-19 sur les familles brésiliennes compte tenu des données socioéconomiques avant et pendant l'épidémie. Le coronavirus menace toute la population du Brésil, épicentre de la pandémie depuis mai 2020. Les familles dont les membres peuvent avoir perdu leur emploi ou vivre d'un travail informel, doivent relever le défi de se protéger du COVID-19, mais aussi de maintenir leur situation financière. malgré le risque. L'accès aux soins de santé s'est révélé plus précaire pour les pauvres, les autochtones, les Noirs, la population de la rue, les femmes et les LGBTQI +. Les impacts sur la santé mentale des membres de la famille qui se conforment à l'isolement social et sont surchargés de tâches domestiques, de travail à domicile et d'éducation de leurs enfants par les médias numériques sont accrus par le stress, l'anxiété et les incertitudes quant à l'avenir. En raison du grand impact que COVID-19 a provoqué sur les familles brésiliennes, les iniquités socioéconomiques déjà existantes ont augmenté pendant la pandémie. Le chômage, les mauvaises conditions sanitaires de base et un taux élevé de travail informel contrastent avec la situation des familles à hauts revenus. La période post-pandémique sera décisive pour que le Brésil donne la priorité au rétablissement de ses politiques publiques déjà existantes. Nous suggérons que les initiatives proposées soient organisées autour de l'objectif d'atténuer les effets néfastes sur la santé mentale aggravés par COVID-19
