Introduction
Members of a culture may have dissimilar measures of loyalty basing on the main values. Indeed, countries that were culturally intolerant are becoming culturally varied. As such, conflicting perspectives influence the cultural beliefs and ethical values of people since they believe they are right or better. This is attributable to the increased communication, migration and trade. Cultural conflicts can occur when nurses acknowledge the influence of their values on global health. As such, this paper focuses on the cultural concerns attributable to health among Hispanics.
Conclusion
Cultural values are the lasting belief systems, which a society focuses on. The worth of nursing in the country is embedded on the ethics of the American traditions with focus on self-sufficiency and independence. Fundamental aspects of the worth placed on individuality are the attitudes indicating that people have the capability to upgrade themselves. As such, an individual’s rights are vital as compared to the society. In most cultural practices, the families and the society make health decisions. Indeed, ethical conflicts occur within cultures when influenced by sub cultural values. It is important to educate staff about cultural variations and design systems that will encourage respect and offer care to all people based on their beliefs.
