Introduction
The selected theory of this paper is learning Madeleine Leininger’ culture care diversity
and Universality care theory. This particular theory fundamentally aims at the fact that various
cultures can have various caring behaviors and different values for health and illness and their
patterns of behavior and belief change accordingly. It further consists of the understanding of
various cultures in terms of Nursing and the health care practices with the aim of providing
essential nursing care services for people as per their values beliefs and illness. Notably, this
theory is founded on the assumptions of various cultures along with the perceptions and the
practices of the care in many ways (Jeffreys & Zoucha, 2018).. However, there are few
commonalities regarding care among all of the cultures of the world. Madeleine Leininger
further figures out that human care is more universal in all of the cultures whereas the caring can
be described through diverse patterns, expressions, lifestyles and actions. This particular theory
is further founded on the assumption of nursing care which will be compatible socially when the
client is familiar with the nurse and the expressions of the client that are used in a proper way by
the nurse.
The most considerable ideas of the theory of health that is defined culturally and then
constituted the nursing which is a humanistic learning profession aimed that maintaining well
being of health in a culturally beneficial manner and environment that consists of the events
having interpretations based on social, political, physical, cultural, ecological settings. It is also
found that Leininger is quite adamant about the idea of person which is not appropriate culturally
in various cultures. She has further developed the particular model referred to as Sunrise model
in a logical way for describing the core relationships of the ideas of a Theory of culture care
diversity and University. This is a model which is a visual guide which can depict the multiple
factors that are anticipated to be influencing the care culturally with people having different
cultures. As per my views, this is the model which is aimed at serving as a cognitive guide for

visualizing and reflecting on different aspects that are assumed to be influencing the culturally
oriented care.
The relationship between the structure and the function
The theory of Culture care diversity and universality is an outcome of the original
thinking along with an awareness of an ever changing world and almost six decades of building
using and the refining of theory. Most importantly, it is not a borrowed theory and it has been
grown as a nursing theory which is extremely relevant in terms of discovering the Health and
care needs for the persons, the group families and the Institutions from diverse culture. The roots
of this theory accurately reflect the early nursing practices having drawn up on the creative
Thinking which is connected with health fields. It has been developed independently as an
extremely relevant theory for discovering the health needs of the diverse cultures worldwide. The
theory has further become a guide to the thinking the research and practices of nursing having in
vision the essence of Nursing for all ages (McFarland & Wehbe-Alamah, 2017).. The theorist
has further postulated that human care is what provides dignity to the humans, makes them
human and inspires other people to help others. Through this theory, learning as been discovered
and core concept of the care at the time of her early education. This concept transformed into
motivation for specializing in the culture care and universality theory.
It is explained that this concept is a fundamental nursing component which is founded on
her own experiences that is along with positive feedback from the patients. The at time of her
childhood guidance at home, she had experienced a cultural shock that let her to realize that want
of understanding about cultural diversity can and explain behavioral patterns in few children. She
also identified a huge deficit in the realization of diversification demands in the context of
nursing and wellness. She then invented the standard of the nursing education which used to
suffer because of the lack of training in cultural diversity which resulted in disconnection
between nurse and patient. The identification of this problem by the theorist has shaped a new
