2. Cultural Aspects Of Atomic Anxieties Introduction This brief covers mainland Ecuador in a way to help better inform a person or firm traveling there to do business. a beautiful land of opportunities cultural aspects of Ecuador Climate/Geography When arriving the United States. Most latin americans consider themselves part of the Americas. http://www.english.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/atomic-anxieties.html

Cultural aspects of atomic anxiety written by Professor Alan Filreis for use in discussions of Michael Frayn's Copenhagen Penn Reading Project, University of Pennsylvania, 1999 Some culture-watchers doubted that Americans were as anxious about the prospects of nuclear annihilation as everyone said they were. Was it really the "Age of Anxiety" specifically because of the bomb? The poet Rolfe Humphries, in his introduction to a 1953 anthology of New Poems by American Poets Fragmentation was one fear. The loss of control was another. The bomb symbolized the two fears in one. In an issue of Time into the home. Paul Boyer has written a book called By the Bomb's Early Light: American Thought and Culture at the Dawn of the Atomic Age (1985). He argues that after initial activism a dumb acceptance of the bomb set in. Allan Winkler's Life Under a Cloud: American Anxiety about the Atom (1993) argues the opposite: the threatened feeling continued through to the end of the cold war in the early 1990s. But Winkler and Boyer agree, as Boyer put it, that "American culture had been profoundly affected by atomic fear, by a dizzying plethora of atomic panaceas and proposals, and by endless speculation on the social and ethical implications of the new reality." No audience or reader of Michael Frayn's Copenhagen should for a moment forget Frayn's frank projection of the long view of such fears onto a conversation between two nuclear players who might not have been able to predict the culture beyond the physics. The dreams described by poet Humphries as unrelated to nuclear anxieties are the same "strange dreams" Frayn's Heisenberg has when he tries not to think about the U.S. A-bombing of Japanese cities. Once the bombs had been dropped, could Americans go on and play ping pong or poker, go shopping, shoot cap-pistols in fringed jackets and Dan'l Boaone caps? Of course. What choice did one have? Should one bite one's nails or pull at one's hair all day long because instant annihilation was always possible? When Heisenberg confronts Bohr with the deadly seriousness of the issue, one senses that he is almost mistaken in thinking he must pull Bohr out of the world of innocent quotidian acts:

Communication Between Latin Americans and Anglo Americans By Leticia C. Foss M enu I ntroduction B etween Latin Americans and North Americans ... tyles of Communication INTRODUCTION Intercultural communication is becoming an every day matter for people around the world. Nowadays most long distance communication takes place through the internet. Focusing in the business environment, it is easy to realize that most business people make an effort to be accommodating, sympathetic, and kind when interacting with a customer and, perhaps these efforts become even greater when they have to deal with someone from a different culture. What encouraged me to research about intercultural communication was the curiosity to know whether the communication between Latin Americans and Anglo Americans in the business environment had improved since the arrival of the internet. In past experiences, I had known of several businesses whose efforts in communicating over the phone with Spanish speaking clients resulted in frustrating attempts. As a result, there was always the uncertainty of whether they had made themselves understood, and whether they had gotten their message across. Many of us have or choose to make contact with people of many different countries through the internet or through the phone. Here, in the United States, most business people hope that the person on the other side of the line will speak English. So, their first question when establishing contact with a person in another country

Resources Ethno-Cultural Aspects of Health Ethno-Cultural Aspects of Health " Culture refers to the way of life developed by a group of people that is totally learned and includes language, concepts, beliefs, values, symbols, structures, institutions, and patterns of behaviour. A person's culture may or may not be the same as his or her ethnic origin or identity" (6-2, p.7). Over the years, a person may be exposed to the influences of many cultures, making the concept even more difficult to define. Culture Ethnicity is a multi-dimensional concept. Race, place of origin, ethnic identification, and ethnic culture are used as indicators of ethnicity in health research. Most of the studies of ethnicity however, fail to recognize important cultural variations and differences within an ethnic group. Often the lack of uniformity and precision in the research methodology and measurement of ethnicity make meaningful comparisons difficult. Some studies define ethnicity as the place of birth of the subjects, or the national origin of paternal or sometimes maternal ancestry (4-17, p.121). In the 1991 Canadian Census, ethnic origin refers to the ethnic or cultural group(s) to which the respondent's ancestors belong (7-1). Although Canada, and especially Ontario, has become increasingly pluralistic over the years, health research that addresses ethnic and cultural diversity has not flourished. In Ontario, ethnic minority groups are still largely under-represented in major health studies (1-9). Cultural and language barriers may explain some of the limiting factors and complexity in conducting research with newcomers; such as the cost of having culturally trained interpreters.

HUSKIANA SEARCH N.U MAGAZINE Click here to search other servers at Northeastern. At Home Abroad The Little-known Field of Jewish Latin American Literature. By Stephen Sadow A subset of the field of Jewish studies, Latin American Jewish studies investigates the history, sociology, demographics, and cultural aspects of Jewish communities and individuals from Latin America and the Caribbean. What do you do when you are working with a literature that is obscure outside of its home culture? What do you do when members of one culture know little of another culture, and vice versa? Responding to these questions, I decided upon an approach that would take me far beyond traditional literary criticism. Through a series of "voyages of discovery" to Jewish communities in Latin America, a growing number of correspondences with writers, literary critics, psychologists, even mystics, and an enormous amount of reading, I immersed myself in the Jewish literature and culture of Latin America. These writers wrote of the strains of being in the minority, of balancing Jewish and Hispanic culture, of Jewish tradition, of optimism for the future, of Zionism, and of the Holocaust. It became my intention to enter this literary culture as a step towards truly understanding its writings. I wanted to see the world as a Jewish Latin American writer saw it. More importantly, it was my goal to become a transmitter of culture from Spanish to English and from English to Spanish.

Mixed media on canvas, 100X200 cm Carlos Cañas by Ricardo Lindo, Madeleine Imberton and Janine Janowski Honor to merit Among the many generations of artists and painters and even among the best living artists in El Salvador an indisputable, controversial and relevant figure emerges in an outstanding way. We are referring to an artist whose journey began when he was 22 years old and who is 72 today. He is a professional who expresses himself in a complete manner and continues to develop a personal artistic output as well as devoting himself without interruption to his didactic activity, started many decades ago. He was responsible for supplying artistic background to many generations coming from different walks of life. Carlos Cañas is this artist. We, the three curators, decided in unanimity to pay homage to Don Carlos with this 50 years retrospective held in the important event which takes place this year in São Paulo. When Don Carlos returns from the Bienal Internacional de São Paulo he will also be granted another homage in El Salvador. From 1959 to 1969 Carlos Cañas worked on the semi-abstract monumental series. Later, in an ideological and political auto-analysis in which he questions the validity of abstract art in Latin-America he began the dramatic expressionist series Los Hospitales. It was after this series that he began to work with what will later be called "magical realism," a cultural phenomenon which will encompass Latin-American conscience in all its manifestations. Even when he addresses the tragic reality of the Latin-Americans (more specifically the people from San Salvador) his work is developed according to an aesthetic approach which transforms and displaces symbols to the language sphere of colors and shapes with a clear purpose of achieving an aesthetic transcendence. This leads to the emergence of works which have a great concern with perfection; his work is both dashing and committed to strict standards, a fact which conveys to the spectator a feeling of happiness.

Retraídos Rationale In an era where business transactions take place within an intensely competitive global economy, success is increasingly defined in terms of cross-cultural understanding. This success often requires not only speaking the language of the customer, but also developing a deeper sensitivity to, and an appreciation for, the values, beliefs, and customs of the host culture. This lesson illustrates how a lack of cross-cultural understanding might affect a business transaction between an American and a Latin American businessperson. Objectives The students will: Analyze events form the perspectives of various ethnic and minority groups. Explain the concept of cross-cultural awareness. Identify cultural factors that might affect international business transactions in Latin America. Assess the importance of cross-cultural understanding for conducting business in other countries.

The Other Americans Rationale In order to better understand Latin America and the Caribbean, its land and people must be appreciated in their own right. The social and cultural tapestry of the region is rich and diverse. This diversity is reflected in the language, ethnicity, and customs of its people, as well as in the geography of the region. Thus, it is important that students recognize that, although there are some generalizations about Latin America and the Caribbean that hold true, there are also many exceptions. In this lesson, students will explore some of the myths and realities that define Latin America today. Objectives The students will: Explain the concept of culture and identify the components of a culture. Describe the characteristics of selected immigrant groups and the conditions they faced upon arrival in the United States. Analyze the cultural, political, and geographical diversity found in Latin America.

Science Reference Room CULTURAL VARIATIONS IN HEALTH CARE Bibliographies and Journal Indexes Selected References Internet Resources Special Hayden Collections Health research on an ethnic or cultural group typically requires using the resources in both the Noble for science and Hayden for social science aspects. Government Documents Service at Hayden is a very good source of information since much of the research in this field is sponsored by government agencies such as th Indian Health Service and the Office of Minority Health. One of the most confusing aspects of cultural research is the terminology, of which there are several levels. Related to cultural health care. Some terms are ethnopsychology, traditional medicine, healers, or medical anthropology. General headings. Combine the health term with one of the following: minorities, immigrants, refugees, or migrant agricultural laborers. Specific ethnic groups. The Library of Congress classification has set terminology to describe ethnic groups, and this terminology does not change very often. However, the terms in popular usage tend to change frequently. Native American (or plural) is the current popular usage but almost all journal indexes and the Library of Congress classification use some variation of Indian(s). The point is, if you are trying to do very comprehensive research on a cultural or ethnic group, please keep in mind all the possible terms that might have been used over the years to describe the group. Then add these to the health topics you want to research. If you only need a few articles or books, then a single term will probably work.
