“…This way, conflict is avoided as much as possible and common grounds are reached at the end of the conversation. Within this cultural context, disagreements are approached with a conscious intent to minimize face threats and preserve mutual understanding and social cohesion [51,52]. In the communication process, Filipinos frequently resort to indirect strategies when articulating their disagreements, a practice aligned with the overarching goals of saving face, respecting diverse viewpoints, and maintaining the balance of harmonious relationships [53].…”

Objectives: This study analyzed how Filipino and Chinese individuals express disagreements on Facebook, focusing on gender dynamics. It further investigated the differences in the disagreement strategies and lexical features of male and female participants in their online disagreement discourses. Methods: A descriptive-qualitative design was used. The corpus consisting 50 discourses derived from the participants’ Facebook posts were analyzed using Leech’s (2016) Taxonomies of Directness and Levinson's (2017) Categories of Indirectness. Further, a bilingual Chinese participant, who is also a professional translator, translated the discourses. Results: Findings revealed that Filipino and Chinese participants employed different strategies, such as implicit performative strategies through non-elliptical expression and counterstatement with justification, declaration, and sarcasm, and indirect disagreement strategies through interrogative, declarative, and imperative statements. Interestingly, differences in disagreement strategies arise between genders. Filipino male participants are corrective and direct in expressing disagreement compared to Chinese male participants who employed justification and indirect strategy through statements. Concerning the female participants, Filipino participants used a direct strategy with negation, followed by downtoners and an indirect strategy through sarcastic questions. Meanwhile, Chinese participants used statements followed by clarification and compliments to express indirect disagreement. Finally, diverse linguistic elements indicated disagreement, as Filipinos utilized modal verbs, whereas Chinese participants employed discourse markers and softening language. Conclusion: The findings suggest that disagreement strategies are gender-based. Despite the participants shared cultural backgrounds, Chinese communicators demonstrate proclivity for indirectness, with more extensive linguistic features to save face and downtone their disagreements. The study offers research gaps on disagreement strategies across gender and for future research to cover larger samples and methods to warrant the generalizability of the key findings.

“…In selecting our topic for discussion we noted calls to establish a 'definitive place' for primary care ethics 'on the "bioethics map"'. 1,2 However, aware of the contested nature of 'primary care' and thus 'primary care ethics', 3 as well as the tendency for much of the debate on the subject to focus on the challenges facing general practitioners, 1,4 we decided to employ a definition of primary care which included the work of all community-based health professionals.…”

Emerging themes in the everyday ethics of primary care: a report from an interdisciplinary workshop

et al. 2011

We report key themes arising from a postgraduate workshop organized by the King's Interdisciplinary Discussion Society (KIDS) held in April 2011. KIDS believe that health is a phenomenon that transcends disciplinary boundaries, and therefore issues relating to health care and medical ethics are best addressed with an interdisciplinary approach. The workshop, entitled 'Everyday Ethics and Primary Healthcare', included poster presentations and oral presentations from participants from a range of disciplines and occupational backgrounds which highlighted the challenges faced by primary health-care workers. Three common themes emerged: the impersonal and cumbersome work environment that can result from the encroachment of rationalizing tools; the tension between 'ethical practice as an ongoing sensibility' and 'ethical practice as "box-ticking"'; and the contested nature of what constitutes 'health'. Participants felt that the interdisciplinary perspective was helpful in elucidating the various ethical issues arising in primary health care. On KIDSThe King's College London Interdisciplinary Discussion Society (KIDS) is a working group with a specific focus on issues relating to health care and medical practice. KIDS was founded on the premise that health is a phenomenon that transcends disciplinary boundaries, and that many contemporary issues related to health care, health policy and medical ethics are therefore best addressed with an interdisciplinary approach. Accordingly, KIDS is composed of postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows from a range of academic backgrounds including medicine, law, sociology and philosophy, and we have held workshops and seminars on key health-related issues bringing together medical practitioners and health professionals, academics, students, and members of the public. In this paper we discuss themes arising from a KIDS workshop which focused on the topic of clinical ethics in the context of primary care.
