"按族裔划分家庭年均收入"标准的实质

通过对各族裔家庭年均收入差距形成的原因进行分析,探讨了当今美国社会中流行的“模范少数民族”理论和“文化缺损理论”,并指出了以家庭年均收入水平为标准来衡量各族裔在美国社会中对经济资源的占有是不科学的,这个标准的提出是多数族裔掩盖各族裔在社会经济资源占有上实质上的不平等的体现。它的使用是多数族裔的政治性行为,其目的是为了巩固多数族裔已取得的政治、经济和社会地位。     

Cognitive Theory and Moral Behavior: The Contribution of F. A. Hayek to Business Ethics

This paper shows how business ethics as a concept may be approached from a cognitive viewpoint. Following F. A. Hayek's cognitive theory, I argue that moral behavior evolves and changes because of individual perception and action. Individual moral behavior becomes a moral rule when prominently displayed by members of a certain society in a specific situation. A set of moral rules eventually forms the ethical code of a society, of which business ethics codes are only a part. By focusing on the concept of "limited" or "dispersed knowledge" that underlies the cognitive approach, I show that universal ethical norms that should lead to defined outcomes cannot exist. This approach moreover shows the limits of deliberate rule-setting. Attempts to deliberately impose universal ethical rules on societies may turn out to be harmful for societal development and lead to an abuse of governmental power.     

从唐甄的旅游观看中国文化的转型

本文从人们较少注意的旅游这种特殊的行为方式及其相应的观念意识上去探讨文化转型的具体进展。认为唐甄提出的“好游者人之恒情也”的旅游观具有自然人性论的哲学基础,是对农本社会和儒家传统伦理束缚旅游的否定,是在明清之际中国手工商业（原初工业化）发展的经济土壤上,在市民阶级兴起和大众化产生的社会关系和生活方式中,形成的一种带有近代倾向的旅游观念,具有文化转型的意义。     

跨文化翻译中的归化和异化

翻译是一种跨文化的交流活动,随着各国、各民族之间往来的日益频繁,迫切需要相互理解湘互学习.不同语言间的差异不仅表现在语音、词汇和句法等形式上,更表现在其文化特色上."归化"与"异化"是缓和源语文化和目的语文化在翻译过程中矛盾冲突的主要方法,长期以来"归化"译文出现频率往往较高,然而在当今文化全球化的时代背景下,适度增加"异化"翻译的运用对本土文化的传播和外来文化的接受不无裨益.翻译界对"归化"和"异化"的讨论很多,但这些文章更多是停留在语言研究的层面,本文将从跨文化的角度来探讨翻译中的"归化"与"异化".

Intercultural Competency Development in Conjunction With a Short Term Study Away Experience： Changes in Undergraduate Students

The purpose of this research was to examine whether undergraduate business students who participated in a short term study abroad course and intercultural competence building coursework demonstrated a significant increase in intercultural competence over those who only enrolled in the study abroad course. The 20 participants attended a small liberal arts College in Midwestern United States. The Intercultural Development Inventory （IDI） was administered to the participating students before and after their study away experience. The IDI （v.3） is based on the theoretical framework of the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity （DMIS） introduced by Milton Bennett. The DMIS is based on the assumption that intercultural competence can be strengthen through the development of intercultural knowledge and experience with people from other cultures. The IDI has been used in numerous scholarly studies and has demonstrated valid and reliable results. It is a self-administered 50-item series of statements in which participants are asked to rate the level of their agreement with statements that address their relationship to and evaluation of cultural difference. In the model, people progress in a linear developmental fashion through six stages： defense, denial, polarization, minimization, acceptance, and adaptation. This study was designed to determine if students who studied away and completed intercultural coursework （prior intercultural knowledge and an intercultural experience） would increase their level of intercultural competency more than those students who just studied away （intercultural experience only） as measured by the change in their IDI scores. The results of this small sample show that intercultural coursework in conjunction with a short term study away experience can have a positive impact on individual intercultural development.
