How growing up in Samoa was different from other societies in the 1920s?

Vidyadip · Accepted Answer

Growing up in Samoa in the 1920s: 1. In the 1920s, according to research reports on Samoan society, children did not go to school. 2. They learnt many things, such as how to take care of children or do household work from older children and from adults. 3. Fishing was a very important activity on the islands. Young people, therefore, learnt to undertake long fishing expeditions. But they learnt these things at different points in their childhood. 4. Both boys and girls looked after their younger siblings. But, by the time a boy was about nine years old, he joined the older boys in learning outdoor jobs like fishing and planting coconuts. 5. Girls had to continue looking after small children or do errands for adults till they were teenagers. But, once they became teenagers they had much more freedom. 6. After the age of fourteen or so, girls also went on fishing trips, worked in the plantations, and learnt how to weave baskets. 7. Cooking was done in special cooking-houses, where boys were supposed to do most of the work while girls helped with the preparations.
