TL;DR: In this article, the authors show how British administrators and Chinese educators in Hong Kong have selectively used Chinese cultural heritage in the curriculum, which fosters the sense of being at the periphery of both the Chinese and the Western worlds, which assists the consolidation of outside rule.
Abstract: In their introduction to Education and the Colonial Experience, Gail P. Kelly and Philip Altbach point out that, while "what those who ran [colonial] schools wish to have them accomplish ... was to assist in the consolidation of foreign rule,"' there were yet many different faces, strategies, and consequences to colonial education. The relationship between the culture of the colonizer and that of the colonized has not been everywhere a simple one of imposition and submission. If, in many societies, the indigenous culture withered under colonial rule, in others, native tradition or certain strands of it might thrive or revive under colonial sponsorship or stimulation. This article shows how British administrators and Chinese educators in Hong Kong have selectively used Chinese cultural heritage in the curriculum. While it honors the cultural heritage and transmits the sense of Chinese identity, the curriculum also fosters the sense of being at the periphery of both the Chinese and the Western worlds-which, no doubt, assists the consolidation of outside rule.

TL;DR: The authors explored the idea of integrating direct-behavior research with political-economy perspectives to question the legitimacy of such inferences and explore the possibility to integrate direct behavior research with economic perspectives.
Abstract: The issue of cultural imperialism has emerged largely from the communication literature involving development and political economy. These orientations ultimately construct formulations concerning cultural heritage and behavior based on analysis of government and/or corporate policy and practice. This paper questions the legitimacy of such inferences and explores the idea of integrating direct‐behavior research with political‐economy perspectives.

TL;DR: The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) has brought into sharp relief the conflicts among public and private collectors, scholars, and indigenous peoples over the provenience and disposition of cultural property, especially archaeological remains as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) has brought into sharp relief the conflicts among public and private collectors, scholars, and indigenous peoples over the provenience and disposition of cultural property, especially archaeological remains. First published in 1989 and now updated and enlarged, this book explores the ethical, legal, and intellectual issues related to excavating, selling, collecting, and owning cultural artefacts. Twenty-two contributors, representing archaeology, law, museum administration, art history, and philosophy, suggest how the numerous interested groups, often at odds, can co-operate to resolve cultural heritage, ownership, and repatriation issues and improve the protection of cultural property world-wide. A new preface and epilogue frame the contemporary debate in a global perspective. The editor provides updated information about domestic and international laws and regulations and enforcement institutions.

TL;DR: The application of the concept of common heritage to deep seabed cultural property has been discussed in this paper, however, little attention has been paid to the application of this concept to deep seafloor cultural property.
Abstract: THE declaration of the seabed beyond national jurisdiction ("Area") as the common heritage of mankind has been one of the most controversial and much-discussed topics of the law of the sea. However, little attention has been paid to the application of this concept to deep seabed cultural property. The 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea' includes among the general principles applicable to the Area Article 149 providing for the preservation or disposal of "objects of an archaeological and historical nature" for the "benefit of mankind as a whole".

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the recapitulation of the family of origin, group culture and group as a microcosm of society in multi-ethnic therapeutic groups, where members are encouraged to teach each other about their cultural heritage and improve their bicultural adaptation skills.
Abstract: Multi-ethnic therapeutic groups are an increasingly common form of intervention in human service settings. Cultural diversity affects the group dynamics in predictable ways. Three dynamics are discussed in the paper: recapitulation of the family of origin, group culture and group as a microcosm of society. Transcultural group intervention enables members to discuss culturally influenced behavior patterns, value systems and communication styles. Leaders facilitate the acquisition of improved multi-cultural relationship skills and an enriched ethnic consciousness. Members are encouraged to teach each other about their cultural heritage and in so doing improve their bicultural adaptation skills. Multi-ethnic groups become a laboratory for learning about cultural differences and human similarities, as well as a forum to address personal life issues.
TL;DR: The construction of an Anglo-Jewish heritage in the 1890s was part of the struggle against exclusionary tendencies in English culture and politics and continued efforts to meld Anglo Jewish with English heritage from the 1900s to the 1940s were influenced by the imperative of communal defence and resulted in a distorted historiography along with a selective approach to the preservation of archives and monuments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that all subjects of the new Common Curriculum should incorporate elements of a theme entitled "cultural heritage" in order to promote a greater knowledge and understanding of Northern Ireland's different cultural traditions.
Abstract: Education in Northern Ireland is undergoing its most extensive reform since the late 1940s. For the first time ever the whole curriculum is being subjected to a degree of prescription by the Department of Education which is affecting all subjects in the most profound ways. A significant focus of interest is the manner in which the curriculum is being planned as a means of promoting a greater knowledge and understanding of Northern Ireland's different cultural traditions than was possible in the past. To this end, the Department of Education is requiring that all subjects of the new Common Curriculum should incorporate elements of a theme entitled ‘cultural heritage’. In effect, this means that all subjects, in so far as it is possible and feasible, will include cultural themes and topics reflecting the different traditions to which the people of Northern Ireland are heirs. The inclusion of cultural heritage marks a break with curriculum practices of the past which had to a considerable extent bee...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss these views, relating them to the history of English and to its potential future development, and present a history of the role of English in the curriculum.
Abstract: Assiduous readers of English for Ages 5 to 16 may remember that, in their introductory section, Professor Cox's Working Group identify five “views” of the role of English in the curriculum: “cultural heritage”, “personal growth”, “cultural analysis”, “adult needs”, and “cross-curricular”. In this article, Jay Snow discusses these views, relating them to the history of English and to its potential future development.
TL;DR: The authors showed a forest of northern hemisphere conifers (probably Pinus radiata, native to California) spread across Australian hillsides, where the biological diversity of native forests has been replaced by a monoculture.
Abstract: "Is this Australia's most important crop?' asks the caption on a timber industries' poster showing a forest of northern hemisphere conifers (probably Pinus radiata, native to California) spread across Australian hillsides. The poster is promoting a foreign landscape, one where the biological diversity of native forests has been replaced by a monoculture, and one that the more it is repeated, will change the character of parts of Australia. It can also be seen as representative of dilemmas for Australians, who face the simultaneous tasks of constructing cultural identity in a land they have much to learn about, and developing an appropriate environmental ethic in times marked by humanity's capacity to alter ecosystems rapidly. The notion of heritage value has been used in Australia to focus on conservation in both the natural and cultural environments, especially since the establishment of the Australian Heritage Commission in 1975 by the Commonwealth Government.' Australians have responded
TL;DR: The concept of company culture is now playing an everincreasing role in the continuing endeavour to work towards ever better company management, particularly in the industrial field as discussed by the authors, and it has to be recognised that the company culture can be subject to change and effecting this can be very difficult.
Abstract: The concept of company culture is now playing an ever‐increasing role in the continuing endeavour to work towards ever better company management, particularly in the industrial field. This monograph reviews the history and development of both national and company cultures, and then goes on to demonstrate the significance of a culture to proper company management. Well‐managed companies will have both a “quality culture” and a “safety culture” as well as a cultural history. However, it has to be recognised that the company culture is subject to change, and effecting this can be very difficult. Of the many national cultures, that of Japan is considered to be the most effective, as is demonstrated by the present dominance of Japan on the industrial scene. Many industrialised nations now seek to emulate the Japanese style of management, but it is not possible to copy or acquire Japan′s cultural heritage. The text is illustrated by a large number of practical examples from real life, illustrating the way in wh...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the reasons why scientists contribute so little to protecting the future of our heritage and propose the introduction of post-graduate training (perhaps at a European level) for scientists who want to specialize in preservation work.
Abstract: The factors which formerly caused the deterioration of objects which are part of our cultural heritage have nowadays become more threatening, and new factors have been added. Scientists could help to safeguard collections. An analysis of the literature in the field in fact reveals that scientists are more concerned with studying the composition of objects than with proposing solutions for safeguarding them. This may be explained by the fact that 90% of the scientists who study the cultural heritage have not received any special training in this area. This paper attempts to uncover the reasons why scientists contribute so little to protecting the future of our heritage and proposes the introduction of post-graduate training (perhaps at a European level) for scientists who want to specialize in preservation work.

TL;DR: In addition to natural damage factors, there are others of anthropic origin this article, such as gradual acidification of the environment (due to combustion processes), which produces serious damage in a short time.
Abstract: The materials used for the realization of artifacts are numerous. Theinteraction between materials and environmental factors gives rise to highly variable results which require case by case evaluation. In addition to natural damage factors, there are others of anthropic origin. The principle one is the gradual acidification of the environment (due to combustion processes), which produces serious damage in a short time. The second is neglect, i.e. the absence of ordinary maintenance. Both result in a need for restoration which can itself also constitute an important cause of damage.
