Heritage is who we are, where we come from, it’s our history. Traditionally the word heritage means one back ground or tradition. Each individual’s heritage varies between different cultures and consists of determination of one’s ethnic, religious, and cultural background (Spector, 2009).

Cultural competence during delivery of care requires sensitivity to the cultural, social, and linguistic needs of patients (Betancourt, Green, Carrillo, 2002). As a consequence, care providers need cultural assessment tools that will enable them

The spirits of the city welcomed me into its prehistoric structures. The first thing I see is a stream of water, and towering tree’s all along the parkway path. A red mud like path leads me throughout the trees and serene body of water. The sun is hidden behind gloomy clouds. Once I crossed over this arched white and distressed bridge, a cathedral and many little houses greet you, leading a brick path through the city. Along your path, folks are riding the only sourcec of transportation, horse and
