    The Cure Diseases intrigue me. I love to analyze them, understand the symptoms that define them, but most importantly, discover if and how the ailment can be cured. From childhood to adulthood I have noticed a disease I have personally diagnosed as African American Dystrophy; characterized by the weakening, degeneration, or abnormal development of a people. A disease that has metastasized my community, appearing benign in its beginning stages, but growing malignant and life-threatening with increased inattention and neglect.…

The public's memory and attachment to a place have an impact on the preservation of a cultural landscape or historic site. Bluestone and Wallace highlight how the tool of preservation can be a tool of destruction and how the public’s idea of cultural landscapes has changed over time. Hayden points out the relationship between memory and landscapes, including how a society becomes attached to these sites. The overall theme of the readings is the attachment that society holds to these sites and the connection that this has with the conservation of these landscapes.…

The tragedy is that unhealthy Black Folks do not take their health serious until there is a dreaded life threatening disease that overwhelms them and it is too late--and it will be in the public as a hospital prayer request for recovery or funeral notice. Again, as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said over sixty years ago (he stopped me from eating the enslavement pig food for 45-years ago)—Eat To Live! Good Health is your Greatest Wealth.…

    There is a disparity and unequal treatment of blacks compared to whites in American medicine. During the slavery times African Americans had several diseases that were said to be for blacks, such as Struma Africana and drapetomania (152). For example, Struma Africana was a type of tuberculosis that was just for blacks. These diseases were made because the cures for whites were not meant for blacks since they were believed to harm and kill them. The reason why blacks developed more diseases than whites were because they were malnourished and in serious poverty, which lead to infections by pathogens from going shoeless all the time.…

    A cultural assessment involves learning about the patient’s cultural beliefs, values, and practices (Andrews & Boyle, 2016). We must understand that each patient is unique and has their own cultural beliefs and not assume, based on appearances, that they may belong to a particular culture. The goal of a cultural assessment is to obtain information from a patient that accurately describes their beliefs and values, in order to devise a mutually acceptable care plan for treatment that will be effective for their problem (Campinha-Bacote, 2011). These practices are shaped by family members that are passed down from each generation. Some of the components of a cultural assessment involve biocultural variations of the disease, both verbal and non-verbal communication, cultural affiliations, sanctions and restrictions, developmental considerations, economics, educational background, health-related beliefs and practices, social networks, nutrition, religion, and values (Andrews & Boyle, 2012).…
