Greetings all!
Tonight, the discussion was centered on what makes a culture and what are the areas of culture that promote and protect the notion of identity. It is indeed a slippery slope as we want to understand a people that are as diverse as any ethnic group yet risk labeling a family that comes in as the archetype of the Spanish speaking culture. The book review for our text "The Latino Patient" said it best,
"While the book does contain a good amount of Latino-specific information, I estimate that 2/3 of its content would be equally applicable to quality care for any type of patient."
Treating people with courtesy, respect and honoring the uniqueness of every individual.

Gracias Rogelio.
