Rating: - great service

Rating: - This book gives one insight into the different cultures.
This book gives one insight into different cultures in many different areas. It's helpful if one encounters people of differnt origins and beliefs. What is acceptable with some may not be for others.
Rating: - Be careful....
I felt that this book had a tendency to make very subjective, generalized, unsupported assumptions. I offer an example: in the chapter about Mexicans, it says something to the effect of: being overweight is viewed as a good quality in Mexican culture. Ok, we know that there does tend to be widespread obesity among Mexican populations, but how do you come to the conclusion that being overweight is a desirable state among Mexican people? I am a Mexican American and I have never known a single Mexican person who viewed being overweight as a coveted position. I would not advise taking this book as gospel truth. Exercise caution when referencing this book in the clinical setting.
Rating: - Wonderful tool
We use this with our nursing students. It is an easy-to-use tool that helps them to write papers and to deliver culturally competent care.
