Cultural identity

In order to understand the relations that are established between the dominant group and the non-dominant group, Berry (1997) claims that it is necessary to consider two issues at the same time. First, to what extent is it important to maintain one s cultural identity and its characteristics And, second, to what extent must immigrants integrate into other cultural groups, thus losing their own original culture ... 

Thus far I have focused on the connections between psychiatric medications and personal identity. Next I will consider how our collective cultural identity is being shaped by the movement toward biological thinking in psychiatry. The last chapter will address the radical implications of psychiatry s increasing power over our minds and emotions and, thereby, over our ideas about what it means to be happy and well. 

The name for this national language and cultural identity was more problematic. Neither Melayu nor Jawa, the two indigenous labels with claims to both antiquity and comprehensiveness, was ever seriously considered. Both had been clearly established in Dutch and later in educated Indonesian discourse as particular ethnie, separate races and tribes , according to the English rendering of the landaarden of the colonial census. Until the 1920s the only way to describe the new...

An alternative to assimilation is to make clear to students that they may cross the sociological border into science with their cultural identity both intact and, perhaps, valued. This is a specific goal of the work of Middlecamp and Subramaniam (1999). Within the biological sciences, including gender as a specific component of course content is a more obvious move than in chemistry (Birke 2001). There are more studies in which a connection of chemistry to sociology occurs through the lens of race and ethnicity, for example, in the Project Inclusion work of Hayes and Perez (1997) and the multicultural examples developed by Middlecamp and Fernandez (1999). 

Sibum remind us, after all, the persona is "a cultural identity that simultaneously shapes the individual in body and mind and creates a collective with a shared and recognizable physiognomy."93 It remains, then, for us to understand how the elements of the alchemist s persona I have outlined here shaped the lives of both the alchemists who had to inhabit it and the expectations of the patrons who hired them.

This enormous deterioration not only causes an irreparable loss of cultural identity but also implies a heavy financial load for the community budget. Therefore, closer inspection of either high performance results or failures of silyl modification is an important task for investigations with modem analytical methods. It is obvious that the increase in knowledge about surface reactions and the bonding processes not only enables the tailoring of more effective agents but will also provide a basis for the application of... 

Today we know that this run on Mexico s mushrooms helped destroy the cultural identity of the native Indians, causing discontent and rising crime rates in several villages. Self-appointed "curanderas", with no traditional roots, presided over mass ceremonies with magic mushrooms. 

Nevertheless, sustainable cultivation of MP may reduce wild harvesting and this may result in improving the developing countries economy, the cultural identity and livelihood security, and may gradually reduce the MP threatened species (Schippmann, 1997 Pinheiro, 1997 Mander, 1998).

Bringing one s whole self to work is a process of self-definition. A key part of this involves our individual responsibility to understand our own cultural identity in other words, to learn how our connections to rituals, practices, and perspectives are products of our cultural experience as well as our individual history (Ferdman, 1995). To what degree am I aware of how much my taken-for-granted assumptions about what is appropriate and normal are culturally grounded And to what extent and in what ways am I able to express this awareness and these cultural connections For example, I may have certain beliefs about privacy and individual expression— whether inside or outside of work—that come from the norms, values, and practices common in my identity groups. Or I may have views about the appropriateness of discussing one s...

These multiple dimensions of diversity include personal traits, function or level, and cultural identity. One s personal and cultural history influences what one does, says, or enacts in any given moment and what others do, say, or enact in response based on their stories of their own histories and of yours. I may walk into a client s office with my story of myself as a consultant, and the client s first response to me might be influenced by her experience with White women of a certain age with a certain hairstyle. If her past experience with someone who looked like me was affirming, we have a head start If it was negative, we have problems even before we open our mouths to speak. Either way, I... 

To the degree that each of these memberships is a part of an individual s identity, they comprise the multicultural self, that multilayered set of influences that intersect in complicated ways and relate importantly to who we are and to how others see us (see also Ferdman Roberts, Chapter 3, and Wasserman, Chapter 4, this volume). Respect for the complexity of cultural identities is a prerequisite for understanding culturally influenced patterns of interaction. Further, it provides the key to comprehending the juncture between global and domestic diversity. Although some people have histories that are far more extensive than others, and although some people carry unequal burdens of oppression or perquisites of privilege, they are all equal (but different) in the complexity of their cultural worldviews (J. M. Bennett M. J. Bennett, 2004, p. 150).
