Racial Differences in Family Burden

This article examines the clinical implications for social work practice of the differential impact of caregiving strain according to race. Data for this report is drawn from a study of 810 patients in a community-based geriatric assessment center. Although this research found no essential difference, based on race, in the experience of family burden as a social problem, there was a difference within the interaction of race and the care for an elderly person with Alzheimer's disease. The authors suggest a classification scheme of specific interventions for different caregiving groups and subgroups, based on both race and relationship; these selected variables can provide more insight into possible vulnerable caregiving conditions.     

Attitudes towards globalization and cosmopolitanism: cultural diversity, personal consumption and the national economy

One of the widely accepted consequences of globalization is the development of individual outlooks, behaviours and feelings that transcend local and national boundaries. This has encouraged a re-assessment of important assumptions about the nature of community, personal attachment and belonging in the face of unprecedented opportunities for culture, identities and politics to shape, and be shaped by, global events and processes. Recently, the upsurge of interest in the concept of cosmopolitanism has provided a promising new framework for understanding the nexus between cosmopolitan dispositions and global interconnectedness across cultural, political and economic realms. Using data from a representative social survey of Australians this paper investigates the negotiation of belonging under the conditions of globalization. The data tap into attitudes and behaviours associated with a broad gamut of cosmopolitan traits in the domains of culture, consumption, human rights, citizenship, and international governance. They show how cosmopolitan outlooks are shaped by social structural factors, and how forms of identification with humanity and the globe are fractured by boundaries of self and others, threats and opportunities, and the value of things global and local.

普通高中多样化发展的价值取向与制度设计

继义务教育普及和高等教育扩招之后,普通高中的改革与发展成为今后一段时间我国教育事业的战略重点之一。普通高中多样化发展应以满足需求、提高质量为主要价值取向,并以培养全面个性的人才为归宿。我国普通高中的发展现实还远不能反映多样化所提出的新要求,亟待改进。我们在具体的制度设计过程中要注意厘定核心与外围制度、区分制度内部层次,进而形成相应的制度框架。     

“中国多元一体”与辽金史研究

长期以来,有人一直以汉族和汉族政权为中国,视辽金为外国。张博泉和费孝通提出的中华一体和中华民族多元一体格局,从理论上解决了辽金为何是中国的问题,促进了辽金史研究的迅猛发展。中国多元一体理论,不仅是政治概念,也是学术概念,符合辽金自称中国也承认宋朝是中国的历史发展实际,值得我们认真学习和深入研究。     

西欧封建社会的多元结构及其开放性

西欧封建社会结构的多元性表现在:政治上,天主教会、封建领主与自治城市的鼎立;经济上,农奴经济、小农经济与商品经济的并存;文化上,天主教神学、日耳曼文化、希腊罗马文化、民族国家文化以及人文精神的共处。这种社会结构中政治、经济与文化各要素内部以及相互间的异质性产生了特殊的开放性,最终促进了西欧资本主义的产生。
