In social relations, individualism asserts its influence om many aspects such as morality, ethics, or financial matters. Also individualism reflects a continuous frontier between the individual and the cultural. For being self-reliance, Americans approve self-motivation,which in the sense of long-range goals, as well as for a specific and immediate task.展开更多

His books are full of descriptions of abundant life. Many critics still treasure his great literary works and salute the memory of the remarkable man who wrote them. An Inspector Calls is a play written by English dramatist J. B. Priestley, which is considered to be one of Priestley's best known works for the stage and one of the classics of mid-20th century English theatre. In the play, Priestley advocates to restore the wholeness of the community and construct a harmonious society fit for people to live in. This article will analyze why he advocates it and what are the possible ways to achieve it in the eco-feminism view.展开更多

An electronic literature search was performed using PubMed for English articles published in peer-reviewed journals up to August 2018, with the following search terms: “urban”, “rural”, “comparison of community”, “elderly health”, and “comparison of community health”. A total of 35 articles were extracted for a critical full-text review, and six articles that met the inclusion criteria were subjected to analysis. Measures related to elderly health in urban and rural communities were classified into the following three categories: functional abilities, health, and health perception. Five of the six articles described functional abilities (e.g., social function) and health (e.g., mental health, depression) as categories with significant differences in elderly health between urban and rural communities. The results suggest that elderly health measures related to social function and mental health or depression are more important outcome measures of effective person-centered integrated community care systems from the perspective of community characteristics. As there were only a few articles reporting on elderly health according to differences in environment between urban and rural communities, further investigation is globally warranted.展开更多
