东西方家庭怎样庆祝重要节日？

中国的春节和南方的圣诞节一样,都是家人团聚的日子;在这两种不同的文化中,庆祝重要节日的方式也不尽相同。     

美国人的节日季节

每年11月底到元旦这一段时间,美国人开始进入所谓的Holidy Season(节日季节)。这段时间里面有三个重要的节日,感恩节、圣诞节和新年,期间到处张灯结彩,气氛不亚于中国的农历新年。一般人可能想当然地认为圣诞节是美国人最重要的节日。其实,每年11月最后一个星期四的感恩节才是他们传统中最重要的节日,因为这一天是美国人的团圆节,一家人无论分离多远,都会努力在这一天里团聚。感恩节的历史很悠久。当欧洲人刚来到美国的时     

美国幼儿园里发红包

正那年的大年初一想给女儿讲讲春节的来历,谁知刚一开口,女儿就令不丁问了一句:"春节里有没有圣诞老人?"当我回答女儿说没有的时候,她有些小失望,看来这里的小朋友已经完全被圣诞节收买了。有什么办法能让孩子对中国的春节提起兴趣来呢?我突然想起家里还有一叠红纸袋,便和女儿商量:"春节虽然没有圣诞老人,但如果你愿意的话,可以做个拜年小使者,把祝福     

和谐社会是春节的主题

调查显示,虽然随着市场经济的发展,物质生活和精神生活的内容日趋丰富,过年的精神生活占了很大一部分。68%的人认为春节有利于亲情交融、构建和谐社会,认为春节是中华民族的传统节日,要代代相传,春节能通过人际交往增进感情的占了55%,也有28%的人认为春节能调节精神、恢复体力,能使社会更加稳定和谐,只有23%的人认为春节能促进消费、拉动经济。     

与圣诞节相关的影片

《格林奇如何偷走了圣诞节》 金·凯利饰演的性格孤僻的精灵格林奇在圣诞节前夕大家兴高采烈之时,却感到自 己的寂寞孤苦,于是他把村民的圣诞礼物全部偷走作为报复,而一个很普通的小女孩却 让他知道了什么才是圣诞节最重要的。该片是2000年最卖座的影片之一。     

春运难题仍需破解

每年的腊月,距离春节越来越近的时候,全国各地的火车站、汽车站和机场都会有很多人聚集——盼着回家过年的旅客都在焦急与渴望中准备踏上回乡之旅。而春节之后,同样的一幕又会再演练一次,区别只是人们又想尽办法要离开家赶往自己的工作岗位。无疑,当下的中国,铁路运输依然是春运乐章中最重要的部分。近二三十年里,国家有关部门、许许多多的有识之士都在为破解春运难题献策献力。     

中国节、西洋节——“节日旋涡”中的中国(英文)

中国节、西洋节,北京的节日气氛真浓烈。本文的法国作者目睹了北京在短短的一个月内迎接 了圣诞节、新年和春节的全过程。大街小巷中的所见所闻另她感慨良多。     

对话

虽然有很多年轻人热衷于西方的节日,但是春节依然是个全民性的大节日。本刊记者就此采访了江西教育学院郭晓芸教授。记者:您觉得春节算不算是中国传统文化的一部分?郭教授:应该算,算传统民俗文化中里一个非常重要的部分。如果不过春节意味着他/她不自认为是中华民族的人了。记者:这么严重?就是说过春节是中华民族的重要特性?郭教授:可以这么说。记者:不过现在年轻人对春节好像没什么兴趣了,他们崇尚洋节,比如情人节、圣诞节等。     

包容才是民族自信的体现

2006年圣诞节前夕,“北大、清华等名校10位哲学或教育学博士发出联合倡议书,称要通过此联名‘唤醒国人,抵御西方文化扩张’,号召网友慎对圣诞节”,一时成为媒体上吸引眼球的新闻看点。2006年1月28日《人民日报海外版》上有篇文章写道:“春节从东方走向西方,走向世界,在异国他乡也成为上     

呼和浩特：“电子保姆”让空巢老人安心过年

距离春节还有一周时间，内蒙古自治区呼和浩特市空巢老人邵玲珠的家已经窗明几净，挂起了大红灯笼。“今年我用上了‘电子保姆’，解决了家里的卫生问题，也能安安心心过一个干净、喜庆的新年了。”邵玲珠说。     

Epistemology and Constructivism. Some Implications for Therapy

We do not relate to the world as such but through the interpretation of our perceptions and of our experience of the world. In this paper the work of Maturana, von Foerster, Bateson and Prigogine is examined from a biological and systems theory perspective, to provide support for the thesis that our knowledge of the world is a construction by an observer. Some conclusions relevant to therapy, as an outcome of the constructivist position, are also examined.     

Personal construct psychology methods for qualitative research

In this paper we discuss the unique influences of ethics assessment procedures on comparative qualitative research. These influences are particularly pronounced when researchers are from different disciplines and in different countries. Focusing on our experience conducting a study on the perceptions of young people regarding HIV/AIDS in two countries (Italy and Canada), we describe the impact of the ethics assessment procedures in our respective countries on recruitment, sampling and comparability of findings. We also raise issues related to differences in ethics assessment processes from a disciplinary perspective. We conclude by suggesting that our theory of technique approach, which focuses on studying how the choices made in research implementation influence the study findings, should be extended to include the impact of ethics assessment procedures.     

Organizing for excellence

Conclusion Perhaps the knowledge base and the process of education which we clinical social workers know to be effective, the professional practice which we know to be sound and to which we are committed, have differentiated us from those who were our peers. We are related to them but no longer the same as them. The direct service advocates and the indirect service adherents, traveling in different directions, relating to diverse goals, and trained in separate methods, have evolved into two different professional entities bearing as many differences as similarities. If this is so, I would like to conceive of our parting not as a schism but as an unfolding of differentiated professionals and professions each having its own validity.

Time for change

ABSTRACT

This introductory article sets out the core concerns of this special issue on time and temporality in relation to social movements. It examines three areas: historical times, events, and sequences. In each area, we examine the ways that time and temporality are (often implicitly) embedded in existing social movement scholarship. We then introduce some of the problems raised by our contributors, and the ways in which they utilise greater sensitivity to time and temporality in furthering our understanding of the dynamics of the mobilisation, functions and fortunes of social movements.     

NAATP guidebook not only for residential care

The National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP) has released its draft guidebook for minimum standards for members (see ADAW, April 22, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adaw.32334 ). NAATP is not only for residential treatment providers, however. “Our position at NAATP is that we are a membership association for providers along the entire continuum and that, while residential holds an important place in our work and is our historical foundation, our membership is in no way limited to residential,” NAATP Executive Director Marvin Ventrell told ADAW last week. “Even apart from our membership, we intend our resources, including ethics and the guidebook, to reach and guide the entire continuum. It is true that some of the guidelines have application more or less relative to type of care, but as a whole it should be viewed as a provider guide, not just a residential provider guide.” We regret any confusion. The field — and prominent organizations within it — is changing.     

“Not for the fainthearted”: Engaging in cross-national comparative research

Gerontologists are increasingly taking up the challenge of cross-national research and while there has been an increase in reporting on the product (findings) of this type of scholarship, there has been much less written about the process (methodology) of this approach, particularly in the gerontological literature. In 2009 our newly formed research team enthusiastically embarked on a cross-national comparative research study of social isolation and aging. In this paper, we ‘publicly’ reflect on our research process, sharing what we have learned — what ‘happened’, strategies that ‘worked’, places along the way where we might have intervened to mitigate the difficulties we encountered, and the implications of our experience on our research. Integrating the knowledge gained through our lens as newcomers to international comparative research, we end by presenting a Conceptual Framework for Cross-National Research.

Weather Watchers: Domestic Weather Observation as a Narrative Framework for a Practice-Based Design Research Project

Domestic objects are increasingly embedded with computational features, and link to a network of other intelligent objects. These technology artifacts can use physical movement to describe the flows of data passing through our homes. Supported by Philips Design and the Helen Hamlyn Research Centre, this research project takes domestic meteorology as a narrative framework for the design of networked, data-responsive prototypes. These weather devices are scattered over existing surfaces, mantlepieces, light fittings, and windows, and use movement to describe changes in the weather. In addition to providing a context for moving objects, meteorology offers some unexpected insights into our relationship with technology, and our use of technology as an ontological tool.     

Negotiated time-out: a de-escalation tool for couples

Many state domestic violence intervention standards mandate that treatment for offenders should be separate from any treatment offered to victims. In this article we advocate that in cases of low-level violence, when couples choose to remain together, certain aspects of treatment should be offered conjointly. Specifically, our feedback from victims and offenders suggests that one tool generally taught to offenders-time-out--is often ineffective and can be used abusively when partners are not taught the tool concurrently. We describe the negotiated time-out procedure that we developed and use feedback from our clients to illustrate its usefulness.     

Compassionate Listening: A Framework for Listening to the Seriously Ill

Present conceptions of listening, such as empathic or therapeutic listening, do not provide a way of alleviating the sense of being alone felt by individuals who are seriously ill or suffering in some other way. Compassionate listening, a kind of dialogic listening, provides a framework for approaching these significant listening situations that emphasizes our interconnectedness and our shared humanity and that seeks to overcome the isolation so commonly felt during serious illness.
