Argentina In Argentina, as in many Latin American countries, one of the most important birthday parties is a girls fifteenth. When girls turn 15, they have a huge party and dance the waltz first with their father, and then the boys at the party. China The birthday child pays respect to the parents and receives a gift of money. Friends and relatives are invited to lunch, and noodles are served to wish the birthday child a long life. Denmark A flag is flown outside a window to show that someone who lives in that house is having a birthday. Presents are placed around the childs bed while they are sleeping so they will see them immediately when they wake up. The Netherlands Special year birthdays such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 21 are called “crown” years and the birthday child receives an especially large gift. The family also decorates the birthday childs chair with flowers or paper streamers, paper flowers and balloons. India Usually Indian children wear white to school. However, on their birthday children wear coloured clothes to school and give out chocolates to everyone in the class. Their best friend helps them to do this. Japan The birthday child wears new clothes to mark the occasion. Certain birthdays are more important than others and these are celebrated with a visit to the local shrine. These are the third and seventh birthdays for girls and the fifth for boys.

The studies show that people in Western cultures tend to see intelligence in terms of ones ability to solve problems engage in rational debate. Meanwhile, Eastern cultures see intelligence in terms of peoples ability to successfully play their roles within social hierarchies both at home and at work. Researchers at the National Chi-Nan University in Taiwan found that Chinese ideas of intelligence emphasize understanding and relating to others, including knowing when to show and when not to show ones intelligence. In a study conducted in San Jose, California, immigrant parents from Cambodia, Mexico, the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as native-born Anglo-Americans and Mexican-Americans, were asked what they saw as important in the development of their childrens intelligence. Parents from all groups except Anglo-Americans indicated that motivation and social skills were as important as, or more important than, academic skills in the development of their children. Another study shows major differences in how much importance is given to verbal and non-verbal communication skills. Western cultures seem to value more highly the ability to say things clearly, whereas non-Western cultures seem to value the use and understanding of gestures and facial expressions. Intelligence expert David Lazear says that in the Western world we tend to think that the most important thing about being smart is to have skills in reading, writing and mathematics.

All the intelligences were valued, but somehow capacity in these areas was seen as special and
