The most crucial component of cultural care is to identify your own beliefs.health workers should have this awareness inorder to avoid their personal customs and beliefs mix with therapeutic realationship.They have their own beliefs so do not underestimate it.so try to identify the culture of the patient and respect their rituals

equal treatment under the law and order is present in u.s for all citizens despite their culture and religion.some of the people from black or Hispanic American did not get adequate treatment.therfore,the ratio of mortality rate was very high among such minor priorities.so,the government imposed a law to provide equal treatment for all without showing inequalities on the basis of social and economic conditions.so 14th amendment of u.s constitution has implemented this law inorder to provide same treatment for everyone evening they are from different culture or religion.
