ICT role in 21st century education and it's challenges.
Scraps, unit 4 (Persian Family)
1. Persian Family
- “Parenthood is quite the challenge. You
basically have no time to yourself given the
sheer volume of demands: cooking, feeding,
playing, cleaning, worrying sick about the
tiniest things... It's emotionally and physically
exhausting.”
- “Is it worth it then?”
- “Absolutely! We're loving every second of it.”

7. In Iran, the family is the basis of the
social structure.
The concept of family is more private
than in many other cultures. Female
relatives must be protected from
outside influences and are taken care
of at all times. It is inappropriate to
ask questions about an Iranian's wife
or other female relatives.
Iranians take their responsibilities to
their family quite seriously.
Nuclear families tend to be small,
only 1 or 2 children, but the extended
family is quite close. https://www.facebook.com/HumansOfTehran/
8. The individual derives a social
network and assistance in times of
need from the family.
Elderly relatives are usually kept at
home, not placed in a nursing home.
Loyalty to the family comes before
other social relationship, even
business.
Nepotism is considered a good thing,
since it implies that employing
people one knows and trusts is of
primary importance.
The head of the household is usually
the father or husband who expects
obedience and respect from others
in the family.
“He's my best friend, but he happens to be my
husband too. We calculated that over the past six
and a half years, we spent about 5,200 hours
chatting on the phone. We never run out of
things to talk about!”

11. The selection of a marriage
partner is normally determined
by customary preference,
economic circumstances, and
geographic considerations.
Among the Christians, Jews, and
Zoroastrians, the choice may be
restricted by religious practice.
There is a distinct preference for
marriage within extended kin
networks, and a high incidence
of marriages among first and
second cousins exists.
Arranged marriage is still
practiced.
“Being from two different cities, hence two different
dialects, and so two different cultures, we met at university
in 2012. A lot has happened between us until we decided to
get married in 2016. All advice I was hearing from my family
members was that similarities are one of the most
important factors in marriage. Now I can tell you the more
different you are, the happier your marriage will be, for
learning the differences makes you wonder, amuse, yet
laugh. We are gonna celebrate our first anniversary today,
and I can say so far so good.”
