As a result of human behavioral evolution, culture in fact changes. Overtime, culture changes from one generation to the next. While some members within a culture adapt gracefully, others lag to adapt. Therefore, leading them to become deviants of society within that culture. In “Saints, Scholars, and Schizophrenics” author Nancy Scheper- Hughes describes the commonalities of local rural Irish. These commonalities include, shyness of the opposite gender, delaying marriage, and alcoholism.

Working in rural area is more personal, more caring, and more of a friendly environment especially when it comes to nursing.
