Health Issues And Precipitating Factors HW 4
This week, we will examine a case study about smokers in Poland.
As noted in Levine (2007), prior to 1989, Poland had the highest
rate of smoking in the world, with three-fourths of all men aged
20–60 smoking every day at a rate of 3,500 cigarettes per person
per year. It should be noted that 30% of all women smoked every
day, as well. This behavior resulted in a life expectancy of about
60 years due to the highest rates of lung cancer in the world and
all-time high levels of smoking-related cancers and
cardiovascular and respiratory disease.
To prepare for this Assignment help – Discussion, you will be required to read Case 14
in Levine and complete readings in Stanhope and Lancaster, then
respond to the following questions:
What happened to change the culture of smoking in Poland?
Understanding that we all have bias when discussing health
issues and precipitating factors, what social and political factors
allowed cigarette smoking to become a part of the Polish culture?
Reflecting on your own practice, how do you overcome cultural
bias? Do you find it more difficult to deal with some groups than
others? How do people use the cultural information that they
learn about others? Do you think this leads to stereotyping? Does
cultural knowledge influence or change your practice and
interaction with others
