cultural aspects that tend to tag along. Growing up I was fortunate enough to have parents that took me all over the world, which has increased my exposure to language and culture. I believe that being culturally diverse is a major ingrediant when it comes to being a healthcare professional. Not all patients have the same culture and not all patients see certain treatment methods as acceptable. As a culturally diverse optometrist I want to be able to understand the different cultural needs and…

pollution, which negatively impacts the social life of the host destination. This is especially the case in the twenty-first century where travel rate have increased as people’s attitude towards leisure has increased and people’s knowledge of other cultures surges. The effects of pollution, however, are a trickle effect of the development of…

New Age religions. Typically, when a reference is made to indigenous religion it refers to anything that is considered native and is particular to a geographical region. Characteristically it is all-inclusive to the people, the language, and the culture of that region. The term New Age is generally applied to an array of religious or spiritual beliefs and/or practices that were established in the West during the 1970s and 80s. The Green Movement is heavily intertwined with the New Age…

will define tourism as “a temporarily leisured person who voluntarily visits a place away from home for the purpose of experiencing a change” (Smith 1989, p. 2). Tourism is of great interest to anthropology as it happens across all societies and cultures. The United Nations World Tourism Organisation recorded that 1 billion tourists crossed international borders in 2012 alone, and estimate that international tourist arrivals will grow to 1.8 billion by 2030. Currently tourism globally generates…

Interacting with different cultures can be very adventures for some people, but, also can be very frustrating learning and adapting to it. For many managers traveling abroad is very exciting, but for those that do not have the chance to work abroad, it is a dream. The opportunity to learn about a country and to be completely submerged in it and its culture is something that is seen in movies; especially when a large business is able to cover all the expenses that involve the process. For a…

"Cultural relativism is an undeniable fact", Jack Donnelly postulates in his journal entitled, "Cultural Relativism and Universal Human Rights" (Donnelly, J); the axiom rings true not only inside anthropology, but inside the emergency room, whenever two cultures clashes and "the conflict [becomes] confined to differences in belief systems" (Fadiman, A). One example that comes to mind in the recent decades is the confrontation between the Lee family and a public hospital in Merced, California,…

The values that I identified most with are listed above. These are values that shape my character and are values that I believe are important for people, especially people looking to go into healthcare, to practice. The first is acceptance paired with openness. I chose this pairing because I believe that just because someone does something a different way does not mean that it is wrong. By being accepting and open, a healthcare worker will be able to create a more honest and comfortable…

side of the world to the next in a matter of days, the idea of doing business globally has changed drastically—including the impact of management. The International business field includes managers across many different cultures. With this being so, managers may experience a culture shock when traveling abroad, deal with different ethical issues, and have to adapt to diverse managerial styles in different countries. It is very common for a company or business to send representation overseas…

I believe this to be the single most important form of discrimination in schools today. Children/young adults can be very cruel to each other because the culture that public education has created. Students who may receive reduced or free lunches might be made fun of because other students might think they are poor. This can affect their education because of unwanted stress the student receives from being made…
