Cultural competence is essential in providing proficient patient care. The Jewish population has endured anti-Semitic attitudes for decades, yet continues to pass on the traditions and values that encompass the people. The Jewish Museum of Florida provides a wonderful glimpse into Jewish culture. In attending one of the museum’s events, a better understanding of the culture was gained. This paper will discuss the event, including a reflection upon the experience, the values and beliefs identified within the culture, and finally, the implications of these lessons in advanced nursing practice. Description of the Event The Jewish Museum of Florida is a non-profit organization that opened to the public over 20 years ago. The building was originally built as a synagogue in 1936 and was used for Miami Beach’s first Jewish congregation. Later, it housed a traveling exhibit, called MOSAIC: Jewish Life in Florida, and was then restored to …show more content…
Today, the collections within the museum include photographs, videos, audio tapes, documents, newspapers, works of art, religious objects, books, clothing articles, and more. The exhibits serve to educate the public of the 250 year history of Jewish life in Florida and include a Timeline Wall, The Mosaic Core Exhibit, and 3 audio-visual presentations. The building itself has historical significance in Miami Beaches Jewish history. Events also take place at the museum, such as walking tours, lectures, and concerts (Jewish Museum of Florida- FIU). On February 15th, 2016 a lecture was held at the museum. An associate professor of Hebrew Scriptures at Barry University, Dr. Deena Grant, presented “Genesis, Creation and the Emergence of Biblical Monotheism”.

This article is related to Unit 1 lecture on Ethics and Values taught by Mrs. Townes. To provide optimal care for individuals of different religious cultures, practices and beliefs nurses must be skilled in identifying best practices when caring for patients. Understanding a patient’s religious beliefs and values will determine if that patient receives efficient and standard care based on their own beliefs. Buddhist may deny certain medication based on the make-up or components of the medication and whether medications will alter their normal state of mind. The best care for a patient of Buddhist ethnicity is to provide them with a calm environment that will allow patients to meditate, practice relaxation techniques, and chanting rituals.
Cultural competency can be described as the ability to interact with different cultures in a positive manner. Many cultural differences can become apparent in a number of situations. According to Fadiman, doctors have a moral duty to save lives even if they don’t agree with the values or beliefs of someone else’s culture (1997). This paper will address the topic of cultural competency, with a concentration on the importance of cultural competency in the medical field. It is hard to imagine how frustrating it may be to come across a patient that resists a professional’s opinion because they have solid beliefs or do not understand what doctors are attempting to convey.
Israel Crump Dr. Keith Gumery Approaches to Liberal Studies 29, January, 2023 The Museum LensIt It is often stated that “a picture is worth a thousand words”, but has the un parting presence of smartphone photography dislodged museum audiences from the cultural art experiences? In Eric Gibson’s article, “The Overexposed Museum”, Gibson explores an absence of reverence and and robbery of the artistic cultural experience in museums (Gibson 19). The clear culprit and antagonist in the article is the overwhelming increase and culture of smartphone photography that has now been welcomed and encouraged in museums across the world.
Puerto Rican Culture Religion, culture, beliefs, and ethnic customs can influence how patients understand health concepts, how they take care of their health, and how they make decisions related to their health (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2015). As a nurse, it is important to understand that not every patient shares the same healthcare beliefs. A nurse must be able to perform his or her duties without judgement and care for each patient with respect for their own unique set of beliefs and morals. In this paper, the Puerto Rican culture will be discussed, from family units to religious and cultural beliefs, as well as how Western Medicine fits into their healthcare. Explain the culture.

The memorialisation and commemoration of significant events, whether they be significant politically, culturally or personally, conveys history from a multitude of different perspectives, thus allowing connections through human experiences. Public memorials specifically aim to highlight the impact and importance’s of significant events, and to connect people through the past, present and future of societal acts. The Sydney Jewish Memorial Museum memorialises the Jewish Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews, in addition to other minorities, were targeted and brutally killed during World War 2. The museum aims not only to honour the victims but also to educate people about the horrors that occurred, in order to prevent a reoccurrence and to strive
Holocaust Memorial Center The first thing I thought when I heard the class had to go to the Holocaust museum was that it was in the suburbs of Detroit and this would be a very long a drive but even driving up the building itself speaks to the sad moment in our human history. The Holocaust Center located in Farmington Hills, Michigan is one of the best galleries concentrated on the unpleasant Nazi showing off a country 's brutality to people. It catches the obliteration of a large number of men, women, and children and most of them where not even Jews. This Jewish holocaust showcase hall is tremendously beneficial.
The JFK Library and Museum in Boston on scenic Columbia Point, is an ode to one of the most charismatic presidents the United States has ever seen, John F. Kennedy. Most of the exhibits consist of items donated to the museum by his wife, Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis, and the location itself was chosen by Jackie. The JFK museum represents a rare time of bipartisan cooperation in American history, and the untimely death of a great American leader. John Kennedy was elected as the 35th president of the United States in 1960. Though a Democrat, JFK gained support from both parties.

If nurses lack of understanding regarding community demographics and cultural differences, they can have unintentional bias, and stereotype patients due to a lack of awareness of the cultural demographics of the community they serve (Camphinha-Bacote, 2011). Cultural competence is the understanding of different cultures and how that impacts the provision of patient care. Cultural competence in nursing is defined as one willingness or the desire to understand a patient’s culture, the ability to learn about a defined cultures belief system, and to work effectively as a healthcare provider understanding the dynamics of the patient’s culture as it relates to their relationships and care (Kardong-Edgren et Al.,
Most importantly having the museum as such make many African-American feels closer or connective for America because of it clear message that this is truly their home. In addition, the museum is a public institution that open to everybody, it stands as an example of welcoming everyone to participate, collaborates, and learn about their history. it is very important to people because of it, of course, invest in history. For example, since its opening on September 24, 2016, the museum has "collected the more than 36,000 artifacts" (5). Not only that the museum is a collective institution but the donors whom to help build the museum come from all different backgrounds: nearly 1 40,000 individuals have become charter members of the museum (5).
The Holocaust was a indeed a big depression for all Jews. Many people had the courage to help throughout this horrific experience, although some did not succeed with their process, there are many people and organizations that brought Jews freedom. This is an important cause because as badly as Jews wanted and needed help, a lot of them got it. Resistance efforts that were that happened during the Holocaust are significant in many ways and saved many lives, for those reasons the people that helped should be given great appreciation. Not only did the Americans lead Jews to freedom but there are people who already had that idea in mind beforehand.
All of the Jews were probably dancing and cheering if they were there or if they heard the news, I know I would have been doing that if I were
Understanding who the author of Genesis is the first important step to undertake. Though, many liberal scholars and theologians subscribe to the JEDP hypothesis this paper will not give credence to this revisionist theory. Therefore, the author of Genesis was Moses and with that knowledge who was Moses; and what was the cultural context of the author. Thus, let us briefly look at what is known about Moses.
