Low socioeconomic standing-lack of access to medical care

Reference no: EM133724566

Question

Low socioeconomic standing, lack of access to medical care, rural location, limited education, older demographics, and patriarchal structure often provide important context for understanding of actions, including dancing with snakes. Their low socioeconomic status and limited access to healthcare may entertain these alternative practices or rituals for healing or spiritual protection. If they are rural and uneducated, snake handling may contribute to the preservation of traditional beliefs and practices. There could be a patriarchal structure which could influence the behavior as men often feel pressure to demonstrate bravery through risky behavior, as well as older cultural practices passed down from generation to generation.
