The educated elite of many Pacific peoples are exposed both to traditional cultural influences on the one hand and to a Western mode of education and an urban life style on the other. Examples are given of the problems that arise among the Melanesians of Fiji, the Polynesians of Tonga, Western Samoa and the Cook Islands and the Aborigines of Australia from the existence of these two sets of values. Conflict areas include money, property ownership, health care, family boundaries and adoption. The content and form of the conflicts are shaped by the original culture but the basic cause in each case is differential rates of modernization among members of the same ethnic group.
许多太平洋地区民族中的受过教育的精英一方面受到传统文化的影响，另一方面又受到西方教育模式和城市生活方式的影响。文中列举了斐济的美拉尼西亚人、汤加、西萨摩亚和库克群岛的波利尼西亚人以及澳大利亚的原住民因这两种价值观的并存而产生的问题。冲突领域包括金钱、财产所有权、医疗保健、家庭界限和收养。冲突的内容和形式由原始文化塑造，但每种情况下的根本原因都是同一族群成员间不同的现代化速度。
