Au Canada, les familles agricoles tirent de sources hors ferme une part de plus en plus grande de leurs revenus. Cette constatation reste valable quelles que soient la définition delà famille agricole et la taille de l'exploitation. Le revenu hors ferme s'accroît également du côté des salaires comme de celui des revenus de placements; cela vaut pour toutes les familles sans égard à la taille de la ferme. Enfin, l'accroissement du salaire hors ferme de l'exploitant équivaut à celui de tous les autres membres de la famille (le plus souvent, l'épouse).
L'écart entre le revenu en espèces des agriculteurs et celui des autres contribuables semblent revenir à ce qu'il était anciennement.

This volume offers unique interdisciplinary views on issues in communication and culture with a central focus on Chinese perspectives as China and the world face the 21st century. These perspectives are based upon comparative data and East-West cross-cultural experience. Seventeen chapters, plus an introductory chapter that places the topics in perspective, report and interpret data here for the first time. The majority of the contributors are Chinese scholars from various disciplines, who now share their research on communication with Western as well as Eastern readers. The common thread of the essays is the way in which communication influences culture and cultural dimensions impact the processes of communication. The authors represent scholars from education, communication studies, mass communication, intercultural communication, sociology, rhetoric, literature, law, linguistics, telecommunications, international relations, journalism, and sociolinguistics. Part I presents cultural perspectives on ethics, East-West relations, translation issues, cross-cultural competence, persuasion, journalistic acculturation, and gender representation in advertisements. Part II addresses international and intercultural communication as seen in comparative campus cultures, cross-cultural interaction between Chinese and Americans, the practice of taijiquan, the media depiction of watching, the legal implications of the internet, and the issues of nation building. Part III focuses on mediated communication issues in Chinese films, China's media campaign for the olympics, Chinese youth's use of Western media, talk radio in China, and the use of new technologies in the post-Cold War era
