Moreover, it is different if the newborn was a boy or girl, if it is a girl, her placenta will be buried under her parents’ bed, but if it was a boy, his placenta will be buried in honor place like near the house’ base to sanctification the spirit of male. On the Hmong language the word placenta means, “jacket” and it is considered the place that contains the person’s soul and also the person’s first and best clothing. Whenever a Hmong dies, her or his soul will travel and find its way to reach the place where the placenta “jacket” was buried and then wear it to complete its passage. However, if the soul couldn’t find its “jacket”, it can’t travel anymore and it will remain isolated and undressed (Fadiman, 1998, Chapter 1).
Final Ethnography: Guarani-Kaiowá The Guarani people are a group of indigenous people that live in the country of Brazil. Today there are estimated to be around 51,000 Guarani Indians making them the country's largest cultural group (Keating, par. 17).

The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman, tells the story of struggles suffered by a Hmong family, the Lees’, and what they had to endure when relocated from their origins of Laos to America. The Lee’s and Hmong in general are special when it comes to acculturation because they did not have an option to leave their country they were refugees. While fighting the Vietnam War the CIA recruited Hmong to get a leg up on the communist forces. After the United States pulled out from being a part of this war, around 150,000 Hmong families had to flee their homes to escape the Vietnam government. Forced to relocate in America, a place most never wanted to come in the first place.

Because the first four chapters of Louisiana: The History of an American State create a vivid picture, producing illustrated summaries becomes easy. Illustrated summaries represent the understanding of a chapter. These are four different images that can represent Louisiana’s culture, geography, economy, and government.

Typically, America is seen as the land of the free. Citizens have freedom of speech, press, assembly, and religion. Legally speaking, a person is entitled to the liberties mentioned above; however, they’re condoned if they do not conform to the values traditionally held by the majority Americans. For instance, everyone is free to practice any religion of their choice, but America is a predominantly Christian nation; therefore, those who practice a different religion are often victimized. In fact, John Oskison highlights America’s hypocrisy in “The Problem of Old Harjo”.
The Resemblance and Distinctness in Hades and Hel Myths and legends served as bases for cultures of old and largely reflect the civilization they derive from. An undeniably extensive part of a culture is the gods that they prayed to and feared. Nations used gods and aspects of gods to demonstrate their way of life, terrors, ambitions, and to explain the strange occurrences in life. A great example of this reflection comes from the lore of the Nordic and Greek people. The Nordic goddess Hel and the Greek god Hades serve as prime examples of what these cultures had in resemblance and in polarity.

This was emphasised through the language technique of lighting in one of the ending scenes. Were Kee and her baby were in a boat going to the human project, through an underground tunnel and a light was shining through a hole onto them. This language feature of lighting and symbolism was used to show that Kee’s baby (Dylan), displays a connection between Kee and virgin Marie a quite religious scene and is the only chance to retain human fertility. This scene was there to reinforce the main idea in the film of infertility and that Kee’s baby was the hope that the world never knew could still happen. This idea highlighted throughout the film of Kee’s baby being a symbol of hope and disparity, but this final scene reiterates
As an RN I would be working in the capacity of identifying and bridging gaps between the patient, hospital and myself. *After performing a cultural assessment on myself I recognize that all I knew about the Hmong was once having visited a Vietnamese food store as a teen. I knew that I needed more information to expand my understanding to better serve this patient. So, I researched online and found information that the Hmong during the late 1970’s to early 1990’s was forced to leave their native country after the Vietnam war and had relocated to the US as refugees on ethomed.org. From what I read I learned that Hmong people have their own language in a couple different dialects and that most Hmong came to the US from Laos, and also from Thailand,
