Where we like to be touched, and where we don’t

The closer the person in social relationship, the larger the body area this person is allowed to touch. The bodily maps of touch were similar in all five cultures studied. Social touching thus seems to be a biologically determined and evolutionarily developed way to form social relationships. The results were recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy.

It is really worth looking into the recent study conducted by Aalto University and the University of Oxford. It shows that the human body has a precisely defined touch maps that are tightly linked to social touch that is allowed in different kinds of human relationships. It is also said that this is relevant to many or even all cultures.

Please have a look and talk it over with your friends. 🙂

Holding environment

A holding environment’ is described as the ideal mandala in which growth and development could occur, weaved of the qualities of contact and space. Through making attuned, present-time, somatically-engaged contact with another as they are – and by providing an open, warm sanctuary in which their experience can unfold and illuminate – we become vehicles of love in Action.

Women`s equality development in China

The information office of the State council has issued on Tuesday a white paper on gender equality and women’s development in China. The content refers to immanent economy, women and education, women and health, women and decision-making and so on.

It`s worth looking and thinking about. Equality or men and women is a basic human right because all humans are equal. So this must also be found on all Levels of society, behavior and relationship. In China there is a long history of surpressing women and though having got the same rights some decades ago there is still on the unofficial level a lot of unequal reference to women by society.

Attraction and wariness of Chinese towards the US

“Chinese youth admire American culture but remain wary of US policy” says the New York Times.

This means that young Chinese admire the American way of life, they love the free speech but on the other hand they say that the Chinese government doesn’t show some much weakness abroad. If you want to read more about this phenomena, please have a look.

I also want to add that ……

From the Dragon to the Panda

A very interesting new book unfortunately only written in German. Ist on the issue of leadership, teaching and learning.

Das Buch, um es vorweg gleich zu sagen, besticht durch die breite Erfahrung der Autorin und durch die unspektakuläre Art und Weise der Darstellung relevanter Praxisbereiche, Praxisfragen und Empfehlungen.

Es gibt inzwischen viele Bücher, die sich mit der Frage beschäftigen, worauf man als Westler in China achten sollte, wenn man denn beruflich unterwegs ist. Die meisten der Bücher bewegen sich ……..auf der Ebene von Rat und Tippgeber. Das Buch von Ott-Göbel hingegen spiegelt die eigenen Erfahrungen der Autorin. Aber nicht nur das. Sie lässt ausgewiesene Kenner des kulturellen Kontextes selbst zu Wort kommen, so geschehen durch eine Verhandlungsexpertin, einen Waldorf-Pionier, einen Management-Dozenten, einen Bildungsexperten, einen Psychotherapeuten und einen Manager.

Never disobey or: surrender to submission

Never disobey or: surrender to submission

Parents usually love their children and children love their parents. Of course there are different ways of showing and expressing your love.

And yet something happened some weeks ago in China I really could not understand. It’s sad that young students make a Kowtow to their parents for their first day of primary school. It’s sad that the children were made to show their gratitude towards their parents and teachers in ways that struck some observers as shameful and old-fashioned.

Well there are differences…..
