2.8 Week 2 Assignment. Explanatory Models, Ethnomedicine, and Meaning-Centered Understanding

This is what I have prepared already, but it doesn’t answer the questions well enough. 

Questions to answer about the readings:

1) Do you think Pamela Erickson’s recommendations or “Lessons” are realistic?  (re:  she says that “different ethnomedicines are hegemonic in different times or places.”  Does the hegemony of our own system preclude this?

2) About my article- you can ask any question, but I’ll also pose to you- are there any other kinds of sicknesses you can think of where OTHERS’ understandings or experiences of illness symptoms are so important?  

3) If you do the Waxler reading – how does stigma affect how leprosy is “learned” socially?  Can you think of other examples where illness behavior is learned?

4)  If you do the Weller et al. reading, what ARE the problems with “cultural competence?”  


Additional Article but I only have the URL:
