This chapter discusses caring in different social roles and contexts. In education scholars have discussed and studied teachers’ caring, attachment processes in the teacher-student relationship, as well as caring in schools. In the workplace arena, people may choose caring as a profession (the helping professions), and this choice may reflect processes related to parentification in childhood and also the ”wounded healer” syndrome. Caring is also demonstrated in organizations through organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). Leadership and in particular transformational leaders have been associated with caring and nurturance and evolutionary accounts also attest to the connection between leadership and caring. As part of intergroup and interindividual transgressions, apology, forgiveness, and reconciliation reflect caring and empathic processes. Caring can also overtax the capacity for compassion and result in burnout and in compassion fatigue.Less

This chapter discusses the risky activities of Cambodians who formed their own sense of belonging. It looks at those who started businesses at the bottom, specifically family-run and gang-operated businesses. It describes street gangs as a form of self-enterprise, which were similar to Cambodian-operated doughnut shops in the sense that they acted as vehicles for the mobilization of resources. These also helped shape the sense of the enterprising self who could function effectively in America. The chapter then studies the reliance of Cambodians on helping professions to get their wants met and their needs translated. The chapter ends with a section on transnational Cambodians, who arrived in the United States before the refugee wave.Less
