MCC-MCC Traditional Medicine Discussion

 

I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need a sample draft to help me study.

Pick one of the following:

  1. How should we determine the authenticity of ‘traditional healers.’ How much can something change and still be considered to be part of a ‘tradition’ or type of healer? Use an example from class or in popular media/culture as an example (either healers, healing traditions, or specific practices).
  2. Can non-biomedical beliefs persist with the introduction of biomedical beliefs and practices? If so, what types of beliefs or practices may be more resilient to change or more likely to persist? Please make sure to give specific examples (e.g. types of beliefs or practices). What do you think this means for the future of ‘traditional medicine’ as global medicine continues to spread throughout the world?
