This was one of the most interesting topics for me. Looking at how others view the world and what things effect others in different ways seems to always catch my attention. Everyone has different views and definitions of things. Trying to get everyone to understand each other is the hard part.
Understanding other people is a huge part of life especially when you are trying to help them with healthcare and what that might mean to them. There seems to be so many misunderstandings and problems between people with different ideas or backgrounds. Sometimes it's not always right but these problems can be humorous but as a nurse this has to be dealt with professionally. For example why someone may not want to accept some forms of western medicine may be really hard for me to understand.
Looking at environmental factors can be very small or really big depending on the situation. Education in this topic can be a huge factor making the difference between life and death.
As I progress in the future with my nursing career I am sure there will be a great need for me to understand others culture and viewpoints. Although I must be prepared to also have a hard time understanding and be willing to ask about things I do not know anything about.
