After reading the article by Mason et al (2015), relating to improving childrenâs diets at the neighborhood level
of involvement, write a short essay (1-2 double spaced pages, 12 point font).
Highlighting the relevance of culture, socialization, and childrenâs health issues (make reference to the article
What did the research reveal about the connection between culture, socialization, and health?).
Using yourself, or someone you know, relate a similar practice that illustrates the potentially negative impact
of cultural practices and health. In other words, is there a cultural food, drink, ritual, or norm that is part of your
family/ethnic history, but is not necessarily healthy for you?
How might you change this practice in a culturally sensitive way (similar to the culturally sensitive approach
from the article)?
