“…It is the mandate of all mainstream generalist health services to provide care to everyone living in their local catchment areas (Durey, 2010). However, while some rural health services recognise the need to adapt models of service provision to cater for the diversity within the Australian population, there is little guidance about how to go about this in practice (Grant & Luxford, 2011;Kumaş-Tan et al, 2007,). As Newman et al (2013, p. 93) articulate, an exploration of the "complex dynamics of 'doing' inclusivity" is needed.…”

“…Foundational anthropological understandings of culture have not informed conceptions in the medical or health service domains (Kleinman & Benson, 2006), nor are they widely embedded within mainstream consciousness. Most White Australians do not see or understand themselves as having a culture or being cultural (Grant & Luxford, 2011). Thus, culturally inclusive health care is not considered relevant to the majority; such concepts are applied to 'the Other' (Grant & Luxford, 2011), disguising how power operates through dominant discourse to privilege some and marginalise others (Kumaş-Tan et al, 2007).…”

In contrast to popularised representations, rural populations are neither homogenously White nor normative. 'Rural' is defined in this paper as geographic places which, while relational, contested and essentially constructed (Carter & Hollinsworth, 2009; Malatzky & Bourke, 2016), are located distinctly outside of major cities and their spatially-immediate districts. In Australia, rural communities are home to a high proportion of people who occupy a range of

The research question addressed in this article is, "To which extent does intercultural communication depend on selfunderstanding, accumulated during the process of socialization, as well as the feeling of safety?" This question may have received less attention from researchers. This article draws upon modern and classical theories to explain the concept of self-understanding and the feeling of safety conceived in two meta-analytical models of socialization. The models were applied in a longitudinal study. They will be explained in detail, and the findings of the study will be discussed. by guest on June 5, 2016 Downloaded from SAGE Open process of socialization, affect communication. Reflection is based on the Backpack metaphor and the Ladder metaphor, two meta-analytical models that draw upon theories from philosophy and history. 1 The second objective of the article is to confirm the applicability of these models. Comparative View: Cultural complexity is often visualized through models and metaphors that decipher patterns of interaction within a certain context (Erez & Gati, 2004). Models take the form of Venn diagram, Yin and Yang, or circles drawn into one another illustrating dimensions such as micro, meso, exo, and macro (Bronfenbrenner, Lerner, Hamilton, & Ceci, 2005). As to metaphors, Bradley Wiggins mentions the following: The Iceberg Metaphor, the Onion metaphor, the Genealogical Tree, the Rhizome, or the rootstock, and the Cage Metaphor. He says that the most common trait here "is the ability to convey visually the abstract notion that culture is a collection of experiences and ways to perceiving reality from the standpoint of the individual" (Wiggins, 2012, p. 554). The present article adds the Backpack metaphor to explain the process of socialization that starts at pre-natal period and the Ladder metaphor to highlight six premises for fruitful communication. Research Question:To which extent does intercultural communication depends on self-understanding, accumulated during the process of socialization, and the feeling of safety during communication?If people could communicate and enjoy the company of one another whenever they sense self-esteem and feel safe, then there must be circumstances at home or abroad where this does not apply. The plausible question here is, "Which circumstances inhibit intercultural communication?" This article attempts to answer these questions based on purposive data collection.
