Question
 Hello, My college psychology has assigned my class an assignment about cross-culture psychology. I have received Germany as my country. We were to look in books, internet, ect.. or speak to someone that knows something about Germany or who is German to get these questions answered. Could you please help me? I have searched for days and have yet to answer these Questions.

1.What infant/toddler temperaments of dispositions are seen as normal or preferred in he culture?
2.What practices are typical in promoting parent-child bonding and how close is the "normal" bond for the culture?
3.How is the transition from childhood to adulthood managed?
4.How are the elderly perceived and treated, and how are issues of mortality handled?
Thank you
