This week’s
introduction noted that culture was a lot like air. It is all around us, but we
really do not pay attention to it unless it is absent or smells odd. The same
is true about our culture. We do not think much about it, and we go through our
lives feeling that things are the way they are because that is the way they
ought to be. This week, start sniffing the cultural air around you, including
your workplace’s communication styles and barriers. Additionally, examine
specific cultural healthcare practices and values regarding health promotion
and illness prevention.
For the
initial post, address the following:
What do you
learn about our culture?
Identify
some things that are distinctively “American.” Do not include only
material culture (objects and physical symbols), but include non-material
culture such as language, values, ideology, ethics, behaviors, and the like.
Distinguish
your local culture from your national culture?

A cellphone
company once ran a television ad touting its call reliability, in which a young
man is talking to his future father-in-law, who is telling him to address him
by his first name and consider him a friend. The young man launches into a
series of variations of the first name. Unknown to either party, the call is
dropped and the young man does not hear any response from the father. He
becomes very nervous and disconcertedly reverts to “Mr.” and
“Sir.” The ad’s message is clear: Use our service and this sort of
thing won’t happen.
For the
initial post, address the following:
Why do you
think the ad agency chose this power relationship for its commercial? Is it one
to which you can relate?
Have you
had any kind of similar experience at your workplace or school (e.g., with a
patient, client, or professor), not necessarily on a cellphone?
Have you
encountered the power relationships exemplified in the commercial when
implementing various healthcare practices such as disease prevention? Are
co-workers and patient receptive?
