Cultural Behavior Patterns

The problem of multiculturalism and social communication at the meeting point of culture unnoticed for many years in Poland, in recent years, is becoming more and more pronounced, and forecasts indicate that the number of foreigners will grow rapidly. The authors of the article focus on dilemmas related to the attitudes and behaviors of representatives of other nations related to the observance of the law, expectations of public and local admin-istration, perception of office representatives and distance to the authorities they represent, relations with part-ners in the interests. Knowledge about cultural diversity along with foreign language skills is becoming a key factor in the success of effective social communication with foreigners.

Cultural Behavior Patterns

The types of cetacean cultural behavior patterns described (primarily food-related and communication-related) reflect a very different research focus than that found in primatology, where dietary variation and food processing is emphasized and other potentially “cultural” patterns have (until recently) been relatively neglected. The lack of behavioral research in all but a few cetacean species is also notable, as it mirrors a bias in primatology towards only a few genera.

Sabbatical Leave

During a year of sabbatical leave spent in Africa, the author frequently found himself in the presence of American missionaries in urban settings. As a social scientist interested in cultural behavior, he followed his inclination to look for persistent behavior patterns that were characteristic of the missionary groups with whom he came in contact. Taking “culture” to be the shared responses to human problems, he here identifies four pan human problem areas and describes adaptation he observed among missionaries for resolving them. Although his sample is necessarily limited both geographically and denominationally, the observations are provocative and serve as a reminder that the missionary is a product of, as well as an avowed changer of culture.
