Acculturative challenges among Pakistani secondary school students in Hong Kong     

《Int J Intercult Relat》2021

Scholars have extensively studied acculturation from different theoretical perspectives among immigrants across the societies of settlement. However, there is a dearth of knowledge about acculturation from a culture learning approach in Hong Kong. This article reports the acculturative challenges among sixteen (16) Pakistani students from six different secondary schools in Hong Kong. The phenomenographic data analysis of semi-structured interviews revealed four categories of everyday experiences in schools that hinder their acculturation. These are mainly related to inter-ethnic interactions, sensitivity towards diverse learning and sociocultural needs, and the Chinese language teaching curriculum for non-Chinese speaking students. Although the study reports Pakistani students' experiences, the findings may also translate the acculturative challenges among students with an immigrant or ethnic minority background in settlement societies. The article also discusses both the theoretical and practical implications for studying and helping immigrant young people in multicultural contexts.  相似文献   

Taekwondo and Peace: How a Killing Art Became a Soft Diplomacy Vehicle for Peace     

John A. Johnson 《国际体育史杂志》2018,35(15-16):1637-1662

Abstract

Almost since its inception in 1955, taekwondo has been used as a form of soft diplomacy for the Republic of Korea (ROK) and then later by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). Taekwondo demonstrations have been instrumental to bringing the ROK and DPRK back to the negotiating table, but how this has been possible has yet to be addressed. This research therefore addresses two questions: (1) What efforts early in taekwondo’s history facilitated its soft diplomacy efforts today? and (2) How do taekwondo organizing bodies teach and promote soft diplomacy today? Systematic literature reviews of taekwondo moral virtues, pedagogy, history, and organizing bodies’ constitutions as well as elite interviews were conducted with those directly involved with taekwondo diplomatic efforts to determine when and how taekwondo soft diplomacy tactics were initiated. This interdisciplinary, qualitative study elucidates that early taekwondo pioneers’ efforts were focussed on soft diplomacy and how their efforts play an ongoing role in ROK and DPRK rapprochement. Furthermore, taekwondo diplomacy has occurred at the governmental, organizational, and grassroots levels, indicating it may be the only sport used at all three levels of diplomacy.  相似文献   

“流空间”视角下粤港澳大湾区空间布局分级特征研究   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

杨思蓓  胡志华 《上海海事大学学报》2020,41(1):93-99

为加快粤港澳大湾区区域一体化进程,基于“流空间”视角,以粤港澳大湾区11个核心城市为研究对象,从客运流、经济流、信息流三个维度建立数理统计模型,分析粤港澳大湾区的交通、物流和经济信息化水平,并综合运用Jenks自然断裂点法和Moran散点图对粤港澳大湾区进行空间布局分级特征研究。研究结果表明:粤港澳大湾区有两个增长极——广州和深圳;粤港澳大湾区以珠江为界,珠江东西两岸分级明显;港珠澳大桥的连通有助于加强流要素空间互动,发挥更强的区域辐射和带动作用,扩大H-H连绵区的分布范围。  相似文献

潘成夫 《未来与发展》2007,28(7):37-40,36

自2004年2月香港正式开办人民币业务以来,由于仍受到较为严格的限制,内地与香港的人民币资产利率基本隔绝,各项业务总体规模仍比较小。近期,我国政府决定允许内地金融机构在香港发行人民币金融债券,这将首次使两地的人民币资产收益率具有一定的联动性。在回顾香港人民币业务发展情况的基础上,分析香港人民币债券市场的发展前景、潜在影响和风险,并据此提出相应的政策建议。  相似文献

The legitimacy of curriculum development in post-colonial Hong Kong: insights from the case of Liberal Studies     

Dennis Fung  Tim Liang 《牛津教育评论》2018,44(2):171-189

Liberal Studies was initially introduced as a non-statutory subject in Hong Kong in 1992. It then confronted intense opposition and a bumpy implementation path before securing mandatory status in the new senior secondary curriculum introduced in 2009. Recently, this core subject has been under review. Whilst it is considered to promote students’ socio-political participation, the subject has also been accused of triggering antagonism towards the government. In view of these concerns, this article probes teachers’ perceptions of the recent development of Liberal Studies and examines the dynamic interplay between the curriculum review and the potential political controversies surrounding the subject in post-colonial Hong Kong. Reporting the results of a study comprising questionnaire-based surveys and follow-up semi-structured interviews, it reveals that whilst teachers are worried about the proposed reduction of socio-political topics in the curriculum, they approve of incorporating additional China-related content. Furthermore, the participating teachers praised Liberal Studies for its notable impact on raising students’ social consciousness, which has motivated them to learn about community affairs and fight for justice. Finally, the article also explores the study’s profound implications for the further development of Liberal Studies and citizenship education in Hong Kong and beyond.  相似文献   

论葛洪"宏邈淫艳"的辞赋观     

郭勇 《临沂师范学院学报》2007,29(4):40-42

葛洪是我国东晋时期的一位思想家,他有着多方面的贡献。他在《抱朴子·外篇》中提出了"宏邈淫艳"的辞赋观,在中国文学理论的发展历程中为陆机和刘勰架设了一座重要的桥梁,对此应给予高度评价。但是,葛洪毕竟首先是一个哲学家。因此,我们必须坚持这样一个大前提,对他的辞赋观首先进行哲学探源,然后再进行文本分析。只有这样,才能对葛洪和他的辞赋观给予客观、合理的定位。  相似文献
