Globalization has been occuring since the development of any and all countries, especially the United States
which isconsidering a"melting pot." Various migration have brought about hundreds of thousands of immigrants into
nations once considered a single ethnic group or religion. As we are exposed to more and more cultures we become
educated and/or more exposed to others ways of life, beliefs, values and habits. Leiningers Theory of Cultural Care of
Diversity and Universality demonstrates through research, practice and education demonstrates that cultural caring is
extremely important in nursing and healthcare. As nurses it is not part of our job to judge and hold a bias but to be a
helping hand and educate on scientific evidence that may help patients, despite their cultural or religious practice. In
Miami for example, there is a large Latino and Haitian population. Therefore diet, language and religious practices vary
and should be considered when educating patients. Religion should be considered and taken into consideration when
DNR's or end of life care become part of the scenario. Nurses whom speak the patients native language should also be
considered when making the assignment, as patients usually revert back to their first language in times of stress.
