SECTION IV: COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage and answer the questions given below writing the correct answer in the bracket shown against the question.
According to psychologists the first few years of life are critical regarding the imprint of culture on nature, supplementing instinctive behaviour with socially conditioned responses.
The first year of a Manus child's life is spent secure and warm, close to its mother. The two remain in seclusion behind a mat curtain for the first month or so after the birth. They emerge only when the mother's relatives have amassed enough sago, pots, shell and dogs' teeth wealth to mount a feast and an exchange marking the child's arrival. The event comprises a canoe flotilla laden with the exchange goods, heralded by slit-gong calls. The mother is uncomfortably weighed down with some of the fine wealth, which she is expected to wear in the prestation to her husband's kin. Mother and child remain largely housebound for the first year or so, the child being breast-fed on demand. Adults keep a watchful eye on the crawling infant, although they do not cosset it. Indeed, the emphasis is on encouraging some independence early in life, and children quickly develop the considerable physical agility which their waterborne life demands. Parents introduce toddlers to the sea and encourage them to splash about around the piles of their homes at low tide; children learn to swim at an early age, almost simultaneously with learning to walk.
Sometimes their introduction to the sea comes very young when they fall through the slat floors of their elevated homes or, shoulder-riding on parents, take a rude ducking when canoes capsize. Infants learn to hold tightly to their parents' necks as they are carried around, not releasing their grip even when doused in salty, eye-smarting sea water. .
As children become more independent, their fathers begin to playa more prominent part in their lives. The father is an indulgent figure who plays with his children and takes them on interesting trips to trade, fish and so on. The mother spends increasing periods of time engaged in subsistence activities unsuitable for child participation such as shell fishing and sago processing and leaves children in their father's company. Relations between husband and wife are portrayed as distant and shame-ridden, occasionally even violent, and children soon learn to take advantage ofthis situation to get their own way. They realise that the father is the important figure in their house, which is situated among the dwellings of his kin, and his relatives continually emphasise his relation to his children in behaviour and speech and belittle his wife's claims to parental regard. The image is vividly conveyed by three-year-olds who frequently leave their father's arms to satisfy themselves at their mother's breast only to return swaggeringly to their tractable fathers, grinning insolently at their mothers. At some time during thisperiod the mother is likely to become pregnant again and will start to wean the child. It is a slow process. The child is used to having its own way and being fed on demand. The mother may tie bundles of hair to her nipples to repel the child, who resents her withdrawal and turns increasingly to the father for comfort.
Weaning is one of the early experiences which psychologists consider significant in the development of personality. Suckling characterises the first Freudian stage of libido or psychosexual development. The second stage is the one, focusing on sphincter control and excretion, and is marked by the emergence of either a sense of autonomy or feelings of shame and doubt. Young Manus boys learn at about three that a certain lee place on the island, never visited by females, serves as a latrine. No severe stress is placed on relieving oneself at the appropriate place at a young age, but children do begin to become aware of a certain adult prudishness. Relations between the sexes on Manus, particularly between those eligible to marry and their respective kin, are severely constrained. Children notice the shame that attaches to relations between the sexes as they pass through the third 'phallic' stage of libido development, when pleasurable sensations centre on the genitals, individuality develops, and they may experience feelings of guilt. Adults communicate their sense of shame not by chastisement but by the repugnance they display towards acts of carelessness, such as being uncovered before others, although they allow children to run around naked for the first ten years or so oftheir lives.
Children learn that there are supernatural sanctions behind the tense, relations between members of the opposite sexes. On Manus people believe that the spirits of their ancestors watch over them, and they keep the skulls and finger bones of their deceased relatives in carved bowls suspended in the roof spaces of their houses. They think that these ancestral spirits help them in fishing and protect them, particularly from attack by malicious spirit forces, but in return expect their charges to lead chaste and virtuous lives. When people become ill or die, the Manus expect all their relatives to search their consciences for any sexual improprieties that could have angered the ghosts and to confess and so allow appropriate ritual action to appease the angered ancestors. The offence need not be serious, ancestral ghosts punish not only illicit intercourse but also the breaking of any of the taboos that hedge around relations between the sexes, such as breaking in-law avoidance requirements, improper physical contacts, and even suggestive jests. The Manus feel unworthy only when others find out about their wrongdoing but reveal behavioural violations when they experience remorse with believed supernatural discovery (i.e. they are both shame­and guilt-oriented). Sickness is common on Manus, and children live in an atmosphere of constant suspicion and supernatural sanction.
The sullen, stifling and shame-ridden life depicted on Manus seems apply more to women than to men. It is common throughout Melanesia for women's and men's social obligations and responsibilities, even to some extent their cultural worlds, to be sharply separated, and we can detect this separation early in the socialisation of children. On Manus, as elsewhere, girls are obliged to wear skirts and cover themselves sooner than boys and to pay considerable attention to decorum. They are taught to take great care when they are menstruating in particular and to avoid others at this time. This is a common avoidance throughout Melanesia, where people regularly regard menstrual blood with abhorrence, men frequently equating it with poison. The tedium of in-law avoidance also falls more heavily on women than on men.
