		If U.S. military culture has traditionally exhibited a preference for a big, conventional-war paradigm, and if this preference has impeded its capacity to adapt to small wars and counterinsurgencies, then there might be something to gain or learn from examining the cultural characteristics of another army with a greater propensity for counterinsurgency.
		By then, however, the British approach to small wars included observing what were the accepted counterinsurgency principles of military subordination, use of local resources, intelligence gathering, and the separation of insurgents from their local supporters.
		The British Army fought its post-World War II campaigns in the predominantly rural jungle conditions of Malaya, Kenya, Borneo, Guyana, and Dhofar to the desert conditions of Palestine; Muscat and Oman; Radfan; and Kuwait and was successful in small-scale and medium-scale operations.

	THE CULTURE OF BRITISH PSYCHOANALYSIS
		The concept of culture is an idea of signal importance, for it provides a set of principles for explaining and understanding human behaviour.
		At the conference it emerged that many people had been asked to give the paper which the planners wanted from a psychotherapist, and over twenty had declined, believing themselves to be in an awkward position, since most had applied to the Institute to train as psychoanalysts and their applications had been unsuccessful.
		As I see it, the culture of psychoanalysis is in perpetual danger of losing out to the professionalism of those who are, in turn, in danger of losing sight of the motive to bring out the best in human nature and serve humanity.

	British Culture; an article by Ieuan Dolby
		He used a recent radio talk show as an example of this recent disappearance of culture; a lady of recent arrival in Britain was talking to the host of the show about her culture and how she maintains it whilst living in the UK.
		British Culture was to me little things like calling the strip of water dividing France and England as the English Channel whilst the French call the French Channel, like having democracy and the ability to feel strong on the world stage.
		It seems that this culture that is now presiding over the other is one whose roots only travel back a few years and whose ingredients are a mixture of those brought in from abroad by immigrants who are unwilling to let go of that which they have escaped from for better things.

	Culture of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Victorian period was the golden age of the realistic English novel, represented by Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters (Charlotte, Emily and Anne), Charles Dickens, William Thackeray, George Eliot, and Thomas Hardy.
		Possibly the most famous of all British scientists, Isaac Newton, is considered by historians of science to have crowned and ended the scientific revolution with the 1687 publication of his Principia Mathematica, which ushers in what is recognisable as modern physics.
		The evolution of the British diet was further accelerated with the increasing tendency of the British to travel to continental Europe (and sometimes beyond) for their annual holidays, experiencing new and unfamiliar dishes as they travelled to countries such as France, Italy, and Spain.

	Culture Change: Acculturation: Part 1
		If one society is militarily dominant in the culture contact and they perceive their own culture as being superior in terms of technology and quality of life, it is not likely that they will be acculturated.
		When a society is helpless to resist a massive cultural invasion and strong pressure to abandon traditional cultural patterns in favor of alien ones, there is usually considerable psychological stress.
		There is nearly constant culture shock in response to the new reality and disorientation from the failure of traditional skills and values in dealing with the rapidly changing situation.

		The pace of change in British eating seems to have increased at such a rate that you do not have to be very old to have experienced it.
		Rationing was designed to ensure fair shares of the most wholesome diet possible for all, resulting in a period when it is claimed that the nutritional status of the British population was never better.
		Based in universities, social anthropologists and sociologists aim to understand the social and cultural contexts of food, and are beginning to show how questions such as these tie together.

	BBC \| British Council teaching English - Talk - Questions and answers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		For example, "please" is a part of British culture and teaching students to be polite will help them to "find their way" in a different world.
		I would argue that language is indivisible from culture and that it is sometimes impossible to explain the full meaning and connotation of certain words without reference to culture.
		One of the successful aspects of English is the diversity of cultures in which it is spoken - there is no authority to say that the English spoken in Jamaica or Pakistan is any worse or is culturally inferior to that which is spoken in New York or Newcastle.

	Khaleej Times Online - Why Prince Charles is the defender of British culture
		William Pitt the Elder, who became Lord Chatham, was the leading British Minister of the period of the Seven Years’ War, in which India and Canada were both added to the British Empire, at the expense of France.
		He was, with Churchill, the greatest of British war Ministers; perhaps, in terms of strategic insight and global judgment, he was the greatest of them all.
		That culture of defiance comes naturally from our history: from the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 and from the defeat of the French tyrants Louis XIV and Napoleon, when they planned to invade our island.

		The British sense of ironic detachment and sheer silliness is the single biggest factor in differentiating the excellent GTA series from its depressingly serious (and seriously depressing) imitators, because the Atlantic gives us enough detachment to treat the whole thing as a joke.
		But to suggest that british folk stories begin and end with arthurian legends is not quite true, out country is steeped in folk tales, songs, myths and legends.

	Popular Culture: from Baseball to Rock and Roll (John Bull and Uncle Sam)
		Although the dominance of American rock and roll music was the most conspicuous feature of the British pop culture scene in the years after World War II, the long tradition of British performers thriving in the United States continued both before and after war as did the favorable reception of their American counterparts in Britain.
		British performers continued to be popular in American beyond the 1960s.
		In the 1950s British rock groups tended to imitate American groups and re-record their most popular songs, a trend that was in some instances reversed in the 1960s, when American groups copied British songs, especially those by the Beatles.

		"Cultural commons thinking is throwing up new categories of culture seemingly every day," claims the report, in contrast to an immiment doomsday, where "the content industries were not secretive about their aspirations for charging for every bit of data, stamping out the used CD market, or destroying libraries through the extinction of fair use."

		Another male from the British ruling elite, higher education minister Bill Rammell, added prejudicial perspective to his colleagues’ crusade by reminding the forgetful British public that Imperial College in London had already banned face veils in class.
		For centuries, the British male elite has served as hysterical vigilantes against assertive women who, like Aishah Azmi, wish to maintain their self-identity in public spaces.
		It appears that the British male elite is determined to direct and dictate women according to their personal preferences.

		Culture shock is snappy and somehow we all know what it means to us, although if asked, we may find it as difficult to define as ‘jet lag’ or ‘homesickness’.
		Some individuals do not seek cultural adjustment, either because they do not agree with the values and behaviour prevalent in the new country, or because they fear to loose too much of their own cultural identity.

		The penultimate essay in the section by Jon Klancher is a useful overview of the complex cultural geography that defined the bourgeois public sphere in Britain during the Romantic period.
