Educating Family Members: Case Study Analyses

A. KALPANA MUTHURAJ, Dr. D. NIRMALA

Abstract


Empowering is an art of doing something to someone which makes them more strong, confident and assertive to do good deeds by having a control in their own behaviour. It is assimilating one’s own actions and reactions in accordance to societal norms. Hence, empowerment is a continuous process of learning and unlearning things, which builds an authority in individuals in finest decision making, building one’s own capacity, accelerating improvement, directing the mind to make right choices, adapting to necessary changes, procedure to do activities, without having to seek approval and implement those activities much more rapidly and frequently when a task is assigned. It is a challenge to our mental map in behavioral geography, where a person’s perception, understanding, the field in which his vision, prospect, outlook is articulated keeps varying depending upon one’s own experiences. Accordingly, one can say how much ever we keep learning, human behaviour is always influenced by cognitive factors, environmental factors, hereditary, personality and growth factors. Life stages keep changing form birth through old-age, thereby human behaviour keeps changing as well, whereby some behaviours are common while others unusual. The spectrum through which we judge (form an opinion or conclusion) and adjudge (to announce a decision) state of affairs is like a kaleidoscope (constantly changing pattern). In this paper let us discuss a narrative story of empowerment of two people (both women) and how they evolved through life by diversified era.
