cultural difference in&nbsp;the shame response. Not just families, but members 
of entire ethnic minority communities often feel ashamed when one of their 
members (O.J. Simpson, Woody Allen) is caught involved in a scandal--feeling 
like it shames the entire community. Members of the majority group are seen as 
perpetrating INDIVIDUAL acts that are not seen as reflecting on everyone from 
that group.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am wondering if defining "cultural" depends on 
where you are.&nbsp; Are we talking about minority versus majority cultures or 
about cultural groups per se.&nbsp; For example, would we expect Arabs and 
Chinese in the States to respond differently than Arabs in an Arab country or 
Chinese in China?&nbsp; How does generation-since-immigration make a 
difference?&nbsp; What is stronger - the original culture from country of origin 
or fact of being a minority culture?&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And can we separate the tendency of <FONT

tendency of the majority culture to homogenize the minority culture and 
associate an act of the individual with an act of the entire minority group 
(eg., Moslems)?&nbsp; </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#000000></FONT></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#000000>So are we talking 
about&nbsp;cultural differences or a sociological phenomenon? I think it is 
important to distinguish the two when doing research.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
