Reflection: Public Preferences And Health Care Essay

Personal Values Spiritual Beliefs and Health Care Policy I have taken up the majority of values beliefs from my parents. I value peace as a critical factor in people's lives. People should show goodwill to others while trying to limit the conflict unless with absolute necessity. Individuals should have some form of love within their life.

People co-exist in an environment with other non-physical and physical components through constant interactions. The components have major effects on the health status as well as how people adapts to them.

From my experiences, I have realized that I have to be prepared in order to address different cultural reactions and responses whilst adapting my behaviour and information to expertly deal with health care situation. Another illustration is how cultures view medical professionals as people of authority and leave all decisions on the hands of the caregivers (Simpson, 2012). With this understanding, I will remain open to more learning of different beliefs and values of cultures and be non-judgmental. Respecting other people's culture encourages a peaceful environment for patients to heal.
