The opening chapter delves into the cultural roots and historical
backgrounds of Chinese parents, giving insight into their
behaviour, the effects of this behaviour on the teachers, cultural
clashes caused in Australia, and the influences of the
parent-teacher interactions in the schools, the local community and
also the culture of Australia. Recommendations are also made.
Following the first chapter, the author of chapter two looks into
recent developments in Chinese calligraphy in Australia and its
influences in Australian culture. The next chapter discusses
culture and effective management practices in the African context.
Chapter four examines the uses of film as an analytic tool to
describe aspects of popular U.S. culture. It identifies genres and
ratings of the most popular films (as defined by inflation adjusted
domestic box office sales) since the 1930s. We examine changes in
the content and intent of films over time. Chapter four also offers
insights into possible alterations or continuity of dominant
cultural norms. American society does not embody a culture of
inclusion. Multiculturalism and miscegenation were taboo concepts
for many in the powerful white elites. The exclusion presented in
the closing chapter is something practiced by men of the same
ethnic group.
