Question

Describe two different cultures and their views in health.Describe what the implications to health care providers. Consider cultural views on the following topics: Health as organic, Health as Harmony, Disease as a curse or stigma. In response to this paper, I started with decribing the differences between organic or evidence-based medicine anfd harmony. THe implications were addressed as the caregiver would have to encompass the patient's beliefs.

My question is am I writing my paper from the wrong perspective? Does this ask for a culture such as Asians and yin and yang or cultural approaches? Help!

Answer 1

First of all, which two cultures did you decide to write about? Make sure you focus this pretty well. For example, to try to write about "Asians" is far to broad a group. There are many cultural groups in Asia.
