In any event, while historians, psychologists and sociologists are eligible to serve, the participation of anthropologists has provoked outrage and indignation from professional associations and others in the same field. A column by anthropologist Hugh Gusterson in the current issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists denounced the program, which he said amounted to the weaponization of culture. "When research that could be funded by neutral civilian agencies is instead funded by the military, knowledge is subtly militarized," he said. Every anthropologist in camouflage casts a pall of suspicion over the rest of us," he said, adding with disdain that few of the "embedded academics" actually speak the local languages or know much about the cultures in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Amer...
In this study, we explore the gap between the culture and conduct of paternal involvement with children among Korean middle-class and working-class fathers. Using interview data from thirty-two fathers following a period of national economic crisis, we find that Korean fathers negotiated among three contradictory and often ambiguous sets of cultural expectations: traditional Confucian fatherhood; work success as measure of good fatherhood; and "new" fatherhood that embraces providing and caregiving roles. Family involvement was limited for all fathers, although care for children was most directly shaped by strict or flexible working schedules. Middle class and working class fathers used different strategies to reduce the gap between conflicting cultural expectations for paternal caregiv...

I think that the biggest thing that the FNTI had to offer [Ryerson] was the fact that they could be inclusive of the Aboriginal culture, and honour Native identity," said [William Hill]. "It was just a wonderful environment. You can't help but learn because you are so eager to understand it our way. They said be yourself, and here is some information. Be proud of your nation, be proud of your people and your community, and here is some information. Because they did that with you, I think that changed everybody's ability to comprehend the information. Because they no longer had to try to fit themselves into the school," said Hill.
Several factors contribute to this growth, including student demand for opportunities to see the world, the promotion of experiential learning programs for students, and government commitments to increase funding and to provide opportunities for students to go abroad. The world-wide expansion of American Christian missions in the late 19th Century are early examples reflecting many of the development-oriented values and work characterizing the moral and ethical imperative to help the poor and to promote social justice.
