*your health beliefs
*your social influences
*your spiritual or religious beliefs
*your views on family/kinship/relationships and responsibilities
(Answer to be Min 2 paragraphs- 3- 4 sentences each)
Answer
In context to the health beliefs my own social and cultural perspective is that mental and physical
health is influence by the different factors of community or society which can be effectively manage
by the social health care education and services. Health is the state of effective mental, physical and
social well-binge and this get affected or influenced by the social factors, like society behavior, social
economic status, community environment and support. So in context to the management of effective
health and public well-binge that is important for the health care workers to consider social factors,
community values and social education. Because this helps in the management of patient health
condition through positive social support and influence.
My believe in context to the family, relationship and responsibilities is that, in society and cultural
values there should be the improvement of in according to the developing world and new generation.
Family should move to new relationship values and standards in order to support their new
generation according to their needs. Such as the development of children's should not be done on the
basis of cast inequality and there should not be any age restricted barriers of family members in
context to their personal issues and problem solving. Family should get more open and comfortable
with each other in order to support each other and every stages of life. Responsibilities of each family
members is distributes on the basis of their abilities, but their should be addition of the collective
approaches and support in every ones roles and responsibilities.

different cultural values of the communities related to the family responsibilities and relationship. In have
developed the understanding of divers group of people that there are the range of peoples with different
cultural backgrounds, lifestyle, interest, racial, ethics and socioeconomic. I fund that overall each and every
diversity of the people want respect and equality in health care basis along with the satisfaction of their
cultural needs like food, socioeconomically management and balance.
Lifestyle of the peoples is normal, trendy, diet conscious or foodie. Backgrounds of the peoples is can be
lower, mid and higher class. I understand that this is important to value the people’s lifestyle, interest, ethics
and health care cost management according to their backgrounds. But another important thing is that
people’s facilities and services availability should not be provided on the basis of cultural and diversity
discrimination.
Describe two ways
