Document Summary

Cultural approach: cultural anthropology approach emphasizes the whole (holism) and cultural relativism. As anthropologists study worldwide societies, we are trying to study the behavior of societies through. We"re not worried about the validity of people"s beliefs, but how do they work and what are their consequences for social practice. We can distinguish between a system of knowledge and a system of practical care (social institutions that involve the interaction of a number of people, at the very least the healer and patient) Health care system mobilizes the community and make them aware of health problems. The healthcare system reflects the logic of trhe wellness model, but it also plays a role in tying the governmental, religious, legal and other actors. Medical pluralism: the existence of competing systems of medical practice. Complementary: see different types of healers/ doctors for different problems. One system is usually elevated above forms, with its cultural and social aspects upheld by law.
