Culture Care Theory and the traditional nursing metaparadigm Care and culture are the key constructs that make up the Culture Care Theory. This theory differed from other nurses’ work or mindset because nurse leaders relied heavily up on the four metaparadigm concepts of person, environment, health, and nursing to explain nursing (McFarland and Wehbe-Alamah, 2015). Leininger realized that those four metaparadigm concepts were to limited in its scope regarding nursing and culture and care ideologies

participant-observation, which requires the researcher to participate in the studied culture activities as well as observe the daily lives of others. Ideally a cultural anthropologist will have an emic, or an insider’s, perspective to view the society. However, it can be difficult to not view a society with an etic, or outsider’s, perspective. In the film Avatar, Sully is a great example of participant-observation. He learns about the language, customs, and religion of the Na’vi by having Neytiri teach

approaches and perspectives held by different people. The main two approaches are Emic (insider’s points of view) and Etic (outsider’s point of view), where Emic is ‘faith sensitive’ and Etic is a ‘critical approach’ as described by Clinton Bennett. In this essay, I will discuss Bennett’s theory of the faith sensitive and critical approach when studying religion.

The concepts included in Leininger’s theory is caring, culture, cultural context, culture care, culture care diversity, culture care universality, worldview, cultural and structural dimensions, ethnohistory, emic, etic, health, transcultural nursing, culturally competent nursing care, culture care preservation and/or maintenance, culture care accommodation and/or negotiation, and culture care repatterning and/or restructuring (Nelson, 2006).

ethnocentrism, while positive attitude is the result of a cultural relativist approach. One must never feel that not understanding another culture is problematic. It is always a disadvantage to view culture in an etic way. To understand culture one must endure and encounter the culture from the emic, the inside. It would be mere

Chapter 2, Making A Living, describes the Maisin way of living and describes horticulture into a clearer point of view of economic anthropology. In this chapter John Barker describes; how the Maisin gather materials, what they use as tools, how they manufacture clothing, the roles of their people, how they hunt and gather food, the rights and ownership of land/gardens and ownership of crops, Maisin marriage and families, their spiritual beliefs, and the introduction of western society/technology
