	An Examination of Western Influences on Indigenous Language Teaching
		Because functional approaches focus on the meanings that are communicated, language is usually considered in relation to the contexts of use in which meaning is situated.
		A number of approaches to indigenous language teaching are characterized in terms of their explicit use of Western approaches.
		Because of the complexity of the theory underlying the Natural Approach, it is not generally clear whether indigenous language educators advocate the use of the Natural Approach because of its assumptions or because of the types of communication-oriented activities that it includes.

		Western approaches to second Lake Washington Bridge may be constructed in stages.
		The approaches are to be financed through tolls on the bridge, and RCW 47.56.300 (1953 Supp.) plainly contemplates that one may travel across the lake to the business district along the approaches by paying the bridge toll.
		The second inquiry is whether such an approach (or an alternate of equivalent extent upon another location) could be constructed as an initial component of the project, with the understanding that after payment therefor tolls would be continued to finance the extension or new construction of approaches to the main business district.

	Combining Oriental and Western Medicine
		Western medicine is analytical—each part of your body and mind is looked at separately and treated independently from the others.
		These different approaches have their strengths and weaknesses; and as you might expect: the strengths of Oriental Medicine are the weaknesses of Western medicine, and the strengths of Western medicine are the weaknesses of Oriental medicine.
		Western medicine is superior in treating life-threatening pathogens like tuberculosis, that attack from outside the body, while Oriental Medicine is superior in cultivating your internal life force (chi) which helps build the immune system so you're less susceptible to many diseases and discomforts before they occur.

	Indian traditions and the western imagination Daedalus - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The special characteristics of the Western approaches to India have encouraged a disposition to focus particularly on the religious and spiritual elements in Indian culture.
		While Western critics may find "anti-rationalism" to be defective and crude, and Indian cultural separatists may find it cogent and penetrating (and perhaps even "rational" in some deeper sense), they nevertheless agree on the existence of a simple and sharp contrast between the two heritages.
		After distinguishing between three of the dominant approaches in Western interpretations of Indian intellectual traditions, I will consider what may appear to be the overall consequence of these approaches in Western images of India and its impact on both external and internal identities.

	Juno Beach Centre - Western Approaches Tactical Policy, April 1943
		Ho must therefore be dealt with in those areas where he is bound to concentrate in fairly large numbers, e.g.: his bases, vicinity of convoys, areas of approach to his bases, areas in which it is known by intelligence that he is likely to be present in a reasonable degree of concentration.
		It is of interest to note, however, that practically every submarine destroyed during the past year was detected and dealt with prior to attack and there were very few occasions on which a successful kill was effected after attack had taken place.
		This force should be careful not to confuse the close screen by approaching the convoy, unless in pursuit of the enemy.

	INDIC SCHOOL
		Yet western civilization is spreading itself not so much by force, as in the colonial era, but by subtle new forms of social manipulation.
		For example, when asked what he thought about western civilization, Mahatma Gandhi replied, “It would be a good idea.” What he meant was, from the standpoint of the spiritual traditions of India, western civilization with its materialism, aggression and dogmatism was not highly evolved.
		Sometimes native intellectuals are taken in by these western approaches to social issues, not realizing that they are just promoting the colonial agenda of world domination in a more covert form.

	The Role Of Faith In Cross-Cultural Conflict Resolution
		For example, in Christian cosmologies and in some Western approaches to conflict resolution, personal responses such as an aspiration toward transcendence or perceptual transformation are encouraged, emphasizing historical breaks from the past that enable renewal and revisionism.
		While the strongest current of the Western approach to conflict resolution prioritizes problems to be abstracted and solved, distinctively Islamic approaches resemble other non-Western approaches insofar as they frame conflicts as matters of communal and not just individual concern, and underscore the importance of repairing and maintaining social relationships.
		If Western individualism is to bring lasting happiness to the individual, new models of ‘free community’ will have to be explored; if Muslim ideals of community are to reach their fulfillment, it will be necessary to revisit traditions that underscore the dignity of the individual.

	Feminist Ethics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Proponents of feminine approaches to ethics like Carol Gilligan and Nel Noddings stress that traditional western moral theories, principles, practices, and policies are deficient to the degree that they lack, ignore, trivialize, or demean those traits of personality and virtues of character that are culturally associated with women.
		To be sure, from the standpoint of traditional western ethics, a mother's refusal to subordinate the concrete life of her child to the abstract commands of duty or higher law indicates her underdevelopment as a moral agent.
		In fact, Hoagland believes that playfulness is the essence of a lesbian approach to ethics — a welcome relief, to what she perceives as the deadly and deadening seriousness of traditional western approaches to ethics.

	Eastern and Western Spiritual Alternatives
		Because the ethers are closely interwoven in the Westerner's brain, the Eastern methods of development tend to derange the Westerner's faculties instead of spiritualizing them.
		The Western students of the Mysteries agree with their Eastern counterparts that human beings are reborn from age to age in different bodies under varying circumstances.
		The Western aspirant, in contrast, sees material life as a school of experience which must be mastered if he is to become a creator like his Heavenly Father.

	Teachings in Metaphysical Astrology: The Bridge of Skies: Applying Jyotish approaches to Western Astrology
		Note: I have deliberately omitted many of meanings of the houses that are shared by both Vedic and Western astrology, such as the 7th house indicating marriage and the 5th house indicating children.
		A tragic example of aspects both connecting house themes and converging on houses is shown the chart of Grace Kelly, who had Saturn and Mars aspecting both the 4th house of conveyances (she died in a car crash) and the 8th house of death.
		Western astrologers can see that he has an exalted Jupiter in Cancer in the 10th house conjunct both Mercury and the Midheaven, and that indeed when these factors were activated, his career would really take off.

		Other significant approaches to medicine are rooted in the long histories of major civilizations and cultures and some of them have important insights and techniques that seem effective even while they cannot be explained or adequately tested using the techniques of Western "scientific" medicine.
		One of the key implications of Western medicine, therefore, is that it carries with it an authority structure, usually in the role of doctor
		Western interventions often seem dangerous from the perspective of nonwestern systems of health care because they may harm the body on the way to a cure (chemotherapy for cancer is an example).

	[Islam-Online- Psychology]
		Beginning with a critique of the epistemological and methodological paradigms and frameworks of Western social and behavioral sciences in general, the distinctive Islamic paradigm, which is based on the Tawhidi episteme, was propounded.
		This latter approach in view of the Islamic model is certainly reductionist and cannot lead to perfect understanding of human nature and development.
		Because there are sharp contradictions between the Islamic and Western models, primarily due to Muslim belief in the indispensability of the Qur'an and Sunnah, and finally due to the differences between Muslim and Western societies, it must be concluded that it is grossly inappropriate to use Western development theories in Muslim societies.

	APPROACHES TO GROWTH: EAST AND WEST with CLAUDIO NARANJO, M.D
		I had a group that had become a therapeutic community, where I had partly applied the inspiration of Esalen, where I saw many approaches under the same roof that were normally not found under the same roof in other places.
		So I'm all for support groups and self-help procedures, only I think there are particular tools that need to be generated and training that needs to be given, so professionals might now turn their attention to a different function in the community.
		MISHLOVE: One of the parallels that I suppose one might draw between the Eastern and Western approaches is that of the guru, the Eastern teacher who is often very authoritarian, and the therapist, who in his own way can also be quite authoritarian.
