Everyone has the potential to benefit when older adults and children come together in formal and informal activities. Older people feel useful, valued and connected to their communities. Children feel respected, appreciated and important. With increased contact, older people become more understanding of youth, and children develop healthier attitudes about the aging process.

The present review seeks to ascertain how intergenerational relations between adolescents and their parents are experienced through their socialization when cultural values are shared and practised by two generations in a family context. Within the framework of three culture-related developmental issues, (1) the influence of culture on family socialization, (2) the continuity of cultural transmission across generations, and (3) the impact of sociocultural context on enculturation, this review examines an initial hypothesis that there will be more intergenerational disagreement and difficulty in immigrant families than non-immigrant families.
- NCCC – NATIONAL CENTER FOR CULTURAL COMPETENCE
http://www.gucdc.georgetown.edu/nccc
The National Center for Cultural Competence (NCCC) based at Georgetown University seeks to address issues of disparities in health care delivery by increasing the capacity of health care and mental health programs to design, implement, and evaluate culturally and linguistically competent service delivery systems. Nowhere are the divisions of race, ethnicity and culture more sharply drawn that in the health of the people in the United States. Despite recent progress in overall national health, there are continuing disparities in the incidence of illness and death among African Americans, Latino/Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Alaskan Natives and Pacific Islanders as compared with the US population as a whole. Major emphasis of NCCC is placed on policy development, assistance in conducting cultural competence organizational self-assessments, and strategic approaches to the systematic incorporation of culturally competent values, policy, structures and practices within organizations.
