Answer 1

I have taken Education as the Measurement/Indicator from Healthy People 2020.

This Measurement is of Utmost Importance to Culture and Health Because Education is a tool which provides people with knowledge, skill, technique, information, enables them to know their rights and duties toward their family, society as well as the nation.Only by the Means of Education One gets To know About their Cultural beliefs. Education is an important aspect that plays a huge role in the modern world. People need a good education to be able to survive in this competitive world.

Culture refers to characteristic patterns of values, beliefs, and behaviors shared by members of a society or population. Members of a cultural group share characteristics that distinguish them from other groups.

Cultural elements, such as language, religion, symbols interact through migrations, explorations; the influence of travellers, merchants, holy men and women, philosophers, teachers, soldiers, rulers, citizens etc. And the Educational Institutions, educators, are the most effective agents of cultural development and change.

Certain Panel of Experts on Culturally Competent Care stresses the importance of cross-cultural information to nursing and emphasizes that it must be considered an essential component of patient care.

• Most Current Healthy People Measurement Of Education For United States of America is 99% literacy Rate

My Recommendation is that it Achieves the Goal Of 100% .
