Cultural Differences Between Australians And Tibetan Cultural Groups

The rapid growth of globalisation and internationalisation of trade in resources, especially human capital, has made managerial of culture differences ever so important as to understanding the different variables (Hofstede G, 2010). In this paper, the Power Distance Index (PDI) of both Chinese and aboriginal traditional cultural value and belief in family, social life and workplace is going to be examined under the scope of Hofstede’s dimensions. To a truthful stereotype, both culture heavily emphasis upon power distance in a form of age-grade social hierarchy, the variance in its operation however made these cultures unique. The value and beliefs of Confucianism has embedded upon every aspect of Chinese life, putting emphasis upon power

Cultural consideration must be taken into account when discussing end-of-life issues with patients and family members. One cannot assume that cultural affiliation equals a deep connection to cultural beliefs and affiliation with one or more groups should not be used as an assumption about

In addition to my professional experiences, I’ve had personal experiences that further highlight how important it is to be sensitive to other cultures and the human condition. Last year I lost my father after a 4 year battle with cancer. The experience I had as his primary caregiver has made me more appreciative of the human condition.  Throughout the years of doctor’s appointments and procedures, I

The culture and social customs of Indians compared to Australians is very different. Different people in different societies have different culture and food, but they also have some similarities. The culture varies in different things such as clothes, foods, religion, and many others. Not only the culture but geographical and environmental setting is also playing main role. India is the world’s second largest country after china with 1.3 billion population, while Australia is the world’s smallest continent with 24 million population. The capital of India is New Delhi which is in the northern part of India. The capital of Australia is Canberra which is in northern end of Australia which is also called southwest Sydney. India is surrounded by three oceans namely Arabian ocean(west), Indian ocean(south), Bay of Bengal(east). Australia considered to be an island because it is surrounded by Indian ocean(west), coral seas(north), Pacific Ocean(east) and Tasman sea(south) (Everyculture.com). India is more vulnerable in climate changes, in India there were three main seasons, winter runs through January and march, summer runs through April and August and monsoon runs through September and December. Meanwhile, Australia is generally warm and dry all year round, with no extreme cold and rain (Foodbycountry.com). India suffers with environmental problems like water and air pollution, land damage, and water shortage, because there are no strict rules for environmental problems. While

Asian cultures have a very strong family bond and this is very important to them and often surpasses that of an individual. The older family members are rarely questioned and therefore they are often the decision makers and will decide for themselves after being made to go to a hospital that they do not want treatment and all health care providers must respect this decision and be culturally competent in handling the situation. One must not make a patient or family feel bad due to their cultural decisions. We must look at our own beliefs as nurses in order to know what our beliefs are in order to understand those of our patients.

The Vietnamese arrival and settlement process provides an almost quintessential case of cultures in collision, emerging from a situation of distance and ignorance, to one of racial bonding, cultural communication and cooperation and developing forms of hybridity.

Possible reasons for extended leave by an Indigenous person could result from ‘sorry business’. This is a term used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to refer to a death in the family or community and the funeral ceremonies and mourning process. Sorry business includes attending funerals, taking part in community mourning activities and may include travelling for extended periods or time or over vast distances (CSU 1999). Sorry business is extremely important for Indigenous people to participate in and support and care for family will take priority over professional or work commitments. As the director of a care service, management should be aware of possible cases of extended leave with Indigenous people. To avoid the issue happening

Indigenous Australian and Middle Eastern cultures have many similarities when it comes to the factors that influenced their dietary choices throughout history and today. However with these similarities also came many differences as well. Traditions, religion, certain rituals, beliefs, outside influences and historical events were all huge factors that greatly influenced the dietary choices and the future development of each of these two cultures.

While examining the life of the Lee family, it was easy to identify that Hmong culture is much different than Western culture today. The Lee’s faced many adversities that not only affect their lives but the life of their ill daughter Lia. By analyzing culture, stigma, prevention, and implications, one can begin to see how the Hmong culture collides in the care of Lia.

Introduction of new temptations into Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people’s lives such as alcohol, drugs, processed foods or un-natural to their culture, technology (more in the 20th century plus), clustered living environments, un-organization (within the community, family), money and greed

Culture is the attitudes and behavior characteristic of a particular social group, and different religious, ethnic groups, and language can produce different culture. Because of these differences, people often talk about a cultural comparison that they have observed in their life. I am always interested in discussing the cultural differences between different countries. I found out that the differences of cultures have been expressed in many ways, like the cars, education, or houses, but the most interesting one to me would be the wine culture between China and the west countries. Chinese have different drinking culture from the westerners in many different ways.

The research is about the views and opinions of Indigenous Australians, mainly, Noongar community members about Advanced Care Planning (ACP). Simultaneously, learning from them and having this information will help enhance the delivery of care of allied health professionals while being culturally aware and appropriate. ACP is where all the wishes of a patient and what kind of care they want at the time when they are not able to communicate or make their own decision. In addition, ACP also improves the quality of care given to the patient by empowerment during their remaining life. ACP is still new in Australia and there are insufficient evidence and information about experiences of Aboriginal people pertaining to ACP. One of their cultural practice for death and dying is to be buried in one’s country with all the immediate and extended family are present to pay respect, for that reason, a larger facility is needed to accommodate all the visitors. Access to health services financial status is a contributing factor that

This case had several ethical, legal and professional ramifications, including aspects of cultural differences between non-indigenous and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients. There is a requirement for counsellors to actively understand the diverse cultural backgrounds, and differences in behaviour of their clients; stated in; The Australian Counselling Association (ACA-Au., 2008); Code of Conduct (2, 2.1), American Counselling Association (ACA, US, 2005), Code of Ethics (A.2c; B.1a; c.2a) and Education Queensland (EQ) Code of Conduct (1994) 2.1.1, and Education Queensland (EQ) (2008) Ethical Code, and Watson, Herlihy & Pierce, 2006.

Australia boasts one of the world's most multicultural societies. Therefore, it can be difficult to pinpoint what being "Australian" really is, or to define Australian culture. The best way to approach an analysis of Australian culture may be to compare it with another culture. Chinese culture is equally as complex and diverse as Australian culture, as both countries have a large variety of ethnic groups within their borders. However, in terms of the many aspects of culture such as meaning, language, human activity, lifestyle, works of art, and leisure activities, Australian and Chinese cultures differ from one another. Some of the aspects of culture that differ the most between Australian and Chinese societies include gender, lifestyle, and language.
