Question: Write this assignment - This paper has Culturagram and the paper is talking about Hinduism.

I chose my friend and her family who are Hindu, to interview for my family cultural assignment because their culture and religion is different from mine. I chose them because their religion is different from mine, and I wanted to learn more about other religions and find out our similarities and differences. I chose them because Hinduism and Islam are two major religions with distinct beliefs, practices, and cultural influences. One of the world's oldest religions, Hinduism has roots dating back thousands of years to the Indian subcontinent. As a nurse it is very important to be culturally diverse and learning about other cultures will expand my understanding and respect for my patients from different walks of life. It has no founder but evolved through various texts, traditions, and cultural influences.

Hindu religious practices include rituals, ceremonies, festivals, and pilgrimage to sacred sites. These practices vary significantly among different sects and regions but often include prayers, offerings, meditation, and participation in community events. Knowing these religious rituals will help me celebrate with my friend's family whenever they are celebrating.

Then complete a cultural assessment of a family (two or more people) with a culturally or ethnically diverse background different from your own. Note: This family cannot have a member who is part of this course.
• Get my permission:You MUST get permission from me for the family you wish to interview prior to actually conducting the interview (submit this in writing to the "Assignments" area of D2L)-explain in 1-2 paragraphs how you know this family and why you have chosen this family. I will respond back in the "Assignments" area of D2L with feedback)
• Get the family's permission: Ask the family if they would like to be interviewed and that they are under no obligation to do so, that the interview is completely voluntary. Explain to the family that the purpose of the assignment is to learn about the culture of a family from a diverse population.
• Formulate questions and observations:Use the Giger and Davidhizar Transcultural Assessment Model for the family you will interview. Note: you need to sign in with the user name and password you created for Think Cultural Health website when you completed the SoftChalk Module. Be sure to include all 6 assessment areas. An abbreviated version of the tool can also be found on page 162 of your Denham et al. text.
• Create aCulturagram during the interview (see this article on how to create):
Congress (2005). Cultural and ethical issues in working with culturally diverse patients and their families, Social Work in Health Care, 39:3-4, 249-262, DOI: 10.1300/J010v39n03_03 available at https://dx.doi.org.ezproxy.mnsu.edu/10.1300/J010v39n03_03

• Choose a "family level" culturally appropriate nursing intervention you willimplement during the interview to assist a family member, or members, or the entire family, based on your assessment. Chapter 14 Family-Focused Nursing Actions in your Denham Textbook is a good source for ideas for nursing actions
• Complete the assessment form for all elements from the rubric, submit to Assignments area in D2L
