Culture Awareness

Your  comments will be graded on how well they meet the Discussion  Requirements posted under “Before You Begin.” Before delving into your  response to the Discussion question, I would like us to continue to get  to know each other through an icebreaker.

You will be seeing these icebreakers at the beginning of each  module’s Discussion. The icebreaker for this Discussion is as  follows:

I want you to fill-in-the-blank to the following statement. People  would be surprised to know that ____________ (share something  interesting/unique about yourself that people would be surprised to  know).

After answering the icebreaker question, please answer the following question in your Discussion response:

To what extent do you think cultural beliefs, values, and traditions  may impact health education efforts? To what extent do you think  cultural beliefs, values, and traditions may enhance health education  efforts?

Please answer both questions in your response and draw on specific  examples from the Worlds Apart video clips that you watched in this  module:
