2、iate or sensible at a particular point in time are usually situated within a matrix of cultural beliefs often widely accepted within the dominant population at large, but certainly within the scientific community more specifically. The issue of fatherhood is a case in point. Fatherhood is a cultural

3、 construction, and once formulated it has implications for the subsequent behavior of those who share the beliefs and assumptions defining that construction.【F2】The issue here is to understand the meanings commonly associated in the United States with the concepts of father, fatherhood, and fatherin

4、g and to recognize the constraints that are implicitly placed on ones behaviors as a result of accepting these meanings(i. e. , cultural construction)as being true. Of course, to understand fully the cultural construction of fatherhood, one must also understand its counterpoint, motherhood. And one

5、must also understand that both constructions are influenced by cultural conceptions of masculinity and femininity.【F3】It is not our intention here, however, to disentangle the maze of meanings and behavioral implications of all of these conceptions and relationships, but merely to acknowledge that t

7、ar to connote very different domains of behavior and affect from the concepts mother, motherhood, and mothering.【 F4】Semantically, the cultural construction of “fathering,“ for example, implies nothing about father love as does the genderized equivalent of mother love that is contained semantically

8、in the construct “mothering. “ The word mothering elicits, for many, a warm, fuzzy, nurtured feeling, whereas the term fathering elicits feelings of something stronger, colder, harder, and less affectionate. The term father love is not used in everyday discourse, but mother love is. Even the phrase

9、“father love“ sounds strange to some, yet many feel comforted by “mother love“. Popular literature is filled with references to both mothering and parenting when referring to caregiving. But the term fathering is almost never used in this context. When used, the term is typically found in the contex

10、t of the question “Who begot whom?“ Even the gender-neutral term parent is often used or interpreted as being synonymous with mother.【F5】And we have found in our own teaching that studentsincluding advanced graduate studentsoften misread and even mishear the term paternal as being parental, which is

12、eds of human beings, and that of course is as it should be. But might we now balance the agenda by paying more attention to the rest of life? Here is a rule of thumb in planet management to consider: if you save the living environment, comprising plants, animals, and microorganisms, you will automat

13、ically save the physical environment. But if you save only the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both. Humanity lives not just on the surface of planet Earth. We also, and above all, live in the biosphere.【F2】This film of life, abounding with millions of different kinds of organisms, is

14、 so thin that it cannot be seen edgewise when viewed from a space shuttle. Yet it is our cradle and our only home, blessed with the unique and delicate conditions necessary for human existence. To travel outside the biosphere, even a little bit and for a short period of time, requires the most advan

Humanity absolutely requires a healthy bi

17、t cycles of materials and energy; it sustains whatever climatic stability we have not yet bothered; and it manufactures the very air we breathe.【F4】All these services together have been estimated to equal in dollar value the summed Gross Domestic Products of every country in the world combined, and

18、is given to our species free of cost.Humanity could, in theory at least, continue to exist on the handful of domestic plants and animals it now uses, plus a tightly regulated marine catch, but it would be a poor and biologically unstable world.【F5】A planet thus humanized would then be literally a sp

While we all dream, there is incredible variability in the subjective dream experience. Some people rarely remember their dreams and erroneously c

24、ry analysis of dreams should not be disregarded and considered outside the realm of scientific inquiry.【F4】Since the cognitive revolution, psychology and other disciplines have made significant progress in developing and implementing methodologies meant to reveal truths about the mental processes un

25、derlying our subjective experiences. For example, the tools of cognitive neuroscience have allowed neuroimaging data to inform our theories of cognition. It is not unreasonable to think that these methods will one day allow for a correlation to be established between certain patterns of brain activi
