Traditional Herbal Medicine in the Korean Community in Australia
The strands of medical social science based on such social theories as postmodernism and poststructuralism have tended to mystify what really affects health care use patterns including the simultaneous use of biomedicine and traditional medicine. The small amount of research on the use of traditional medicine among recent immigrants in the West which has been conducted has often tended to be dominated largely by interpretivist perspectives, which…

The most significant aspect of Korean immigrant men's life has been centred around their work involvement.

However, hanbang began to regain its significance as affluence increased during the 1980s. This study attempts to explain this resurgence of hanbang…

Social Sources of Church Growth
