What are your beliefs regarding health care? Father was a doctor, grandfather was a dentist, great-grandfather was a doctor, uncles were either doctors or dentists, family friends were all doctors. It goes without saying that the family was intrinsically very pro-health care. © 2014. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. 9. Do you have any cultural beliefs about nutrition or diet?

Interview conducted with Y. Tsombanidis 1. What are your family roles/gender roles? How are they the same as or different from those traditionally practiced by your culture (who is the head of the household, who makes decisions, how are decisions made, etc.)? In my family my wife Michelle and I discuss all decisions that affect the family. My role is to work and bring in the money, my wife’s role is to look after my son, manage the finances and investments. My mother is Filipino, my original father was Greek, my stepfather is Hungarian. My parents immigrated to Australia in the 1970’s. In Greek culture the father makes the decisions and supports the family but with the death of my father my mother stepped in as the head of the household. I grew up with a working mother that made all the decisions and managed everything for the family. My father worked but my mother earned more. 2. What does your culture and family see as primary family goals (education, marriage, etc.)? Australia is a country of immigrants, Australian immigrant culture I believe is to strive for a better and easier life than your parents had. Get a education, get married have kids, start a business/get a good job, buy a house, buy a holiday house and retire early. © 2014. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. 3. What is your culture’s view on alternative lifestyles (living together prior to marriage, domestic partnerships, single parenting, etc.)? In my family there was no need to move out till you get married. Grand Canyon University Family Interview compare and contrast cultures paper. Australians are built up of so many different nationalities that there are no social expectations, there might be expectations passed down through the family on how to live your life but still my family has never pushed any expectations on me that conflicted with the Australian “easy going” lifestyle. 4. What are your family’s religious beliefs, and have they changed over generations? My father was Greek Orthodox My mother is Catholic I am Greek orthodox but I go to a Catholic church. My wife is Catholic. My mothers’ beliefs were never pushed on me, my wife and I have chosen to go to church as a good habit to instill in my child. 5. What are your family’s spiritual beliefs around death and dying? We believe life goes on after death, but not too sure on what happens next. 6. What are your culture’s education and occupational status within the family unit? Australian culture I believe considers occupation more respected than education. 7. What is your culture’s preferred communication methods (verbal and nonverbal)? I would say my family is very verbal with hand gestures and tone of voice as tools, yet I don’t think we were better communicators. © 2014. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. 8. What are your beliefs regarding health care? Australia has universal health care that is tax funded and cheap additional private health care where I chose what provider. The down side is the high tax rate. If America could provide the same at a low tax rate I would vote for that. 9. Do you have any cultural beliefs about nutrition or diet? We believe Americans eat too much and the portion size is too big. In Australia portion size is smaller with focus placed on organic, grass fed, free range, sustainable produce. 10. Are there any conflicts between your religious beliefs and your personal beliefs? We have always had a common sense approach to religion and never allowed man made dogma to make us lose sight of the greater message. © 2014. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved.
