Hello All,

I am working on getting my BSN and i have to do a cultural paper. I would really appreciate it if someone can just answer a few questions about your culture. I will post the questions but i can also email it to you. By the way, I am from Guyana and i am West Indian. Thank you.

1- Five male roles in your cultural group?

2- Five female roles in your cultural group?

3- Describe communication patterns and language?

4- Describe beliefs about personal space and touch?

5- Describe cultural beliefs about the cause of disease?

6- Describe cultural time orientation.

7- Explains who makes health related decisions in a family

8- Describes food prohibited and promoted diseases in your culture

9- Describe some of the folk healing methods in your culture

That is a huge request that might take someone hours to complete. The answers would be the equivalent of writing the paper for you. Do you have any resources for actually interviewing someone in person?

Or does this assignment actually have to have an interview? It doesn't sound as though it does. I'm guessing that you really should be researching cultural differences on your own.

What exactly is "cultural time orientation"?

[meanmaryjean, DNP, RN]

We generally do not complete homework assignments for students. Especially when you are not showing us what work you've already done besides copy-and-pasting the instructions.

You need to do this research- not us.

[Fiona59]

I'm nosy, answer a couple of questions for us.

What did you decide on your pregnancy?

How is your culture accepting your choice?

[Emergent, RN]

Is this assignment for the BS portion of the BSN?

re: #7, you forgot Dr. Google...

re: #9, you didn't mention my favorite self-prescription for pretty much all medical conditions (to include flu, broken bones, dehydration, and sobriety) which is "scotch and cigars".

Ahhhh, but what exactly is the name of your culture?

[Emergent, RN]

Ahhhh, but what exactly is the name of your culture?

That wud be 'Pop Culture' if I'm not mistaken...

[Lev, MSN, RN, NP]

I think you should just pick a culture and research it online. You will probably need better sources than an anonymous internet forum. Does the assignment require you to personally interview someone from a different culture? I hope this isn't a troll post. The poster's AN location is listed as New York.

[Esme12, ASN, BSN, RN]

Ok...that was fun however I think the OP is in New York obtaining her degree.l...lets try to be helpful

OP...

By the way, I am from Guyana and i am West Indian. Thank you.

I would approach this from YOUR culture. How does life in the West Indies differ from the US? YOU are actually the best resource for this!
