Answer to Question 1

Chinese American women may be very modest, especially regarding touching. Traditionally, Chinese women were never touched by male health care providers (today, more than 90 percent of obstetricians and gynecologists in China are women). Symptoms would be discussed by pointing to an alabaster figurine. If a male must do an examination, a formal, polite attitude, explanations of all procedures, and avoidance of tension-relieving jokes or comments will help the client feel more at ease. Furthermore, within the family, sons receive more concern and attention over minor symptoms than daughters. Women, consequently, may believe that their complaints do not warrant care.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
