Bikulturelle Ehen - Ehen mit Zukunft

Jedes Paar hat seine eigene Konstellation, sagt J.Lang, aber “statistisch gesehen ist es sogar so, dass Beziehungen, wo der Mann Schweizer ist und die Frau Ausländerin, länger halten, als wenn zwei Schweizer verheiratet sind”.
Herr Lang ist Eheberater in der Schweiz und im “deutschprachigen Internet”. Er stellt in seinem Text eine andere Perspektive von multi- und bikulturellen Konflikten in Beziehungen dar: und zwar jene der Therapeuten, wenn multikulturelle Paare zu Ihnen zur Beratung kommen. Selbst wenn der Therapeut neutral bleiben will, spielen die für ihn selbstverständlichen Grundlage seiner eigenen Kultur eine wichtige Rolle.

Las acciones punitivas físicas: una perspectiva intercultural

En muchas sociedades todavía se utliza el castigo físico en los niños, como sinónimo de disciplina. El uso o no del castigo físico es un factor que debe tomar en cuenta y analizar a fondo aquella pareja bicultural que decida criar a un niño. La manera anti-autoritaria o muy autoritaria en que hayan sido criados los miembros de la pareja, puede marcar fuertemente la dirección que se decida tomar sobre la educación del niño. En muchos casos, si la pareja no ha analizado a fondo este tema, puede traer consigo discusiones en el seno familiar. En este ensayo, de M. del Mar Badía, se enmarca el término de castigo corporal diferenciándolo del de abuso físico, a la vez que se realiza un análisis sobre la perspectiva de diferentes países con relación a la aplicación de dicha forma de castigo.

This book is also from F.Grojean, the same author that wrote Individual Bilingualism . I find his papers very interesting and profesional. You may also want to take a look to this paperwork:

Life with Two Languages contains a wealth of interesting information which, to my knowledge, has not been put together in one source before—particularly in such a cogent and succinct manner…a thoroughly enjoyable treatment of the phenomenon of bilingualism.
