I Am Intrigued By Cultural And Ancestral Influences Affecting Human Behavior

They serve as pillars of wisdom and guidance while exhibiting communication adroitness with care teams and patients to engineer top-notch medical care. To maintain high standards, effective medical professionals are constantly taking in new information through continuing education, placing providers at the pinnacle of knowledge. Moreover, physicians require affective aptitude as they must convey empathy during patient interactions. All these attributes draw me to seek the personal challenge and resulting responsibilities that are demanded. I desire to become an important contribution to society in a field I am passionate

There are many ways of forming a relationship and gaining the trust and respect of the patient and I had to work out the different things that make a good therapeutic relationship. According to Hinchliff et al (2003) there are a number of important elements that make a good therapeutic relationship, but it is important to make clear that a therapeutic relationship is a formal relationship between a medical professional and patient. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (2008) maintains that at all times nursing staff must maintain appropriate professional boundaries in the relationships they have with patients and clients.

The chapter continued to discuss how people experience other cultures when they are removed from their area to a different place. This occurs in the form of culture shock people experience new traditions that are unfamiliar to them when the come to a place that is home to another culture. Human development may also include joining the ideas of various cultures and forming it into a new concept. It puts heavy emphasis on learning other cultures in an unbiased form in order to compare and make observations. This chapter also studies of culture have been able to advance over time and how change is an essential aspect of

developing a rapport with ones patients and that a little compassion and understanding can mean the world to a

Getting my new text and being filled with curiosity is always a great feeling prior to starting a class; Cultural Anthropology, such a foreign topic, so I thought. Once I began to read the first few chapters of the book I began to recognize words and details that I have previously been introduced too. Thinking back to when and what classes I have had the same experience, I recall Multicultural Counseling and Psychology. Stepping out my comfort zone is what really came to mind. Growing up in a society that has changed so much over the years you would think that I would be used to it; however, asking to look at your community with a different set of eyes is uncomfortable and brings feelings of disbelief most of the time.

Spending so much time with anyone creates a certain level of attachment, let alone between a doctor and his or her patient.This attachment or bond can expedite the curing period of a patient.

A nurse-patient relationship is the basic requirements in all practice settings. Its usage is to manage communication between an organization and a public while maintaining boundaries in the therapeutic relationship. Based on Peplau’s interpersonal theory, communication takes place in a nurse-client relationship where therapeutic process occurs involving complex factors such as environment, attitudes, practices, and beliefs in the dominant culture (seu.edu, 2015). The actions of each person in a nurse-patient relationship is measured on the collaboration of their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Nurse’s work to attain, maintain, and restore the patient’s health until patient have fulfilled the health care needs. Patient must be guided and provided a well-respected environment until a better health and specific needs are fully considered in the relationship. In this kind of setting, nurse’s must create relationship with patients by communicating receptivity, assimilating the concepts of empathy, trust, genuineness, respect, and confidentiality into their interactions.

Humans Evolving Culture in physical anthropology is known as the study of human cultures, beliefs, values, ideas, and other human behavior patterns. Culture has an influence on human evolution by adaptation due to the way humans and other living organisms adjust to new conditions and new challenges that life brings to them. However, culture also has an influence on human evolution by natural selection. Culture influences natural selection because of the way that natural selection focuses on survival and reproduction. Meaning that those with better advantageous will have a higher chance to produce more offspring.

In our report we show the importance of patient provider relationships and the impact of the patient centered relationships.

My fascination with anthropology began in third grade when the chimerical creatures and superhuman gods of Greek Myths sparked my curiosity in global cultures. Eventually, I noticed how the stories correlated with other religious tales from around the world. Through the years, classes in geography, world history, foreign languages, biology and religion further stimulated my interest in how different societies developed, sometimes with similar characteristics. In addition, experiences such as serving as a student ambassador in Japan, painting homes in an impoverished neighborhood of West Virginia, tutoring inner city middle school children and performing English and Spanish translation for recent Hispanic/Latino immigrants have given me a personal look at how lives differ within particular cultures and communities.

I have an interest in how culture, genetics/heredity play a part in the development of an individual’s bias, and the second and third order effects created by said bias. I recently read an article about how multiple species, to include humans, have developed a left-cradling bias when holding their young. Some research attributes this to the specialization of the right hemisphere of the brain as it relates to emotional processing. There are also noted studies that suggest that an individual’s choice of being left or right handed is not actually a choice but more so genetically influenced. When researching some cultural biases, I came across an interesting article regarding how Westerner’s perceive emotions as individual feelings

The origin of modern human behavior is a subject in anthropology that accumulates much debate. Cognition is the dominant factor in such behavior, therefore raises the question, “when did this separation of intelligent or modern thought from the primitive come to daily behavior for our genus?” There are two such answers that hold experts in the field captive in debate: the rapid “imagination revolution” in the European-centrailized Upper Paleolithic, and the steadiness of cognitive growth provided first in Africa during the Middle Paleolithic. Although each argument provides supportive evidence for their perspective claims, the more naturally convincing shows this creative revolution taking place much earlier than the Upper Paleolithic. This explanations human cognition developing with no brisk advantageous revolutionary response, and instead by gradual means. This metamorphosis follows the pattern of biological human evolution. My argument combats the “imagination revolution” claim to the origins of creativity using specific artifacts dated earlier than those of European restrictions. Furthermore, it is the lack of excavation in Africa and the conditions of the terrain itself that pose problematic preservation of artifacts, unlike in Europe, to exonerate this innovative exclusivity. These pieces of evidence in Africa exemplify a higher process of thinking, commonly those showing deliberate means of bead and rock art used for both personal functions of expression. If art

Continuity of relationships is a significant value to me. Relationships with my patients allows me to better care for them and makes things go more smoothly. It builds trust between patient and professional which allows for a successful healthcare relationship. Having a relationship with my co-workers also falls under this value. Having a good relationship with my co-workers allows for a more efficient/productive work day and builds trust between us. This trust will build confidence in each other and allow for better communication. Often in healthcare, so many problems can happen because of miscommunication or a lack of it altogether. I hope to avoid this issue by having trusting relationships with my co-workers.

Psychology is the very important perspective for human nature. It is very much important for the individual environment. Psychology is very much a product of the Western tradition.

Familial background and culture are two aspects of a student's life that can have a great impact on their learning. While familial background can include many factors such as family structure, education, socioeconomic status, and culture this paper will primarily focus on the cultural aspects of familial background. The way in which we define culture can be argued due to its complex aspects and multiple meanings. However, in this class we have defined culture as “a set of learned beliefs, values, symbols, and behaviors, a way of life shared by society.” (Mendoza, 2017) Culture as defined in this way can have many impacts on a student's learning including motivation, participation, and learning styles.
