In your paper, you should take a stand or position on an issue or topic confronting
clinical psychologists and the field in general. More specifically, your topic or issue
must address how the topic is relevant to African descent people. You must make the

and that there are implications for this population. Once you take your position, you
must then incorporate supporting literature to substantiate the position you have. The
question of culture and race must be included in your analysis of the topic. Be sure that
the two peer reviewed articles you choose to help you layout the issue and support (or
oppose) your position are included in your paper. Remember, this is a scholarly
thought/reflection paper, which means your thoughts and analysis should be connected to

Title: Balancing Evidence-Based Medicine and Cultural Beliefs in Healthcare: A Moral and Ethical Consideration Title: “Exploring the Importance of Cultural Competence in Medical Education: A Literature Review”
part 1
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
Is it immoral or insensitive to set evidence-based medical practice over other cultural medical beliefs?
Fadiman compares the Hmong to a visual perception puzzle (p. 237). Do you agree or disagree with her metaphor? Explain your reasoning.
Provide sources to support your perspective on this issue. Be sure to apply examples from the reading and chapters this week Resource: Ch. 15 to 17 of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down.
part 2
Provide Feedback to the following post regarding part 1 post 1
The concept of evidence-based medical practice involves integrating scientific research, testing, and analysis of health-related matters to ensure that patients receive the most effective treatment recommendations. However, it is essential to recognize that cultural and medical beliefs, deeply rooted in traditional beliefs and historical practices, should not be disregarded. It is crucial to address patients’ cultural beliefs with sensitivity, acknowledging their significance while educating them about the limitations of these practices in treating various health conditions. This approach is essential to ensure patients can make informed decisions about their healthcare.
I concur with Fadiman’s metaphor, as it underscores the importance of cultural competence in healthcare and the need to respect the beliefs and values of diverse cultures in relation to healthcare (Hinton, 2005). In the metaphor, Fadiman likens the Hmong to a visual perception puzzle, highlighting the complexities involved in understanding the Hmong’s cultural perspective on healthcare. This emphasizes the necessity of empathy and understanding in healthcare, emphasizing the need first to comprehend a patient’s cultural stance and beliefs to provide superior healthcare services.

post 2 Whil considering whether it’s immoral or insensitive to prioritize evidence-based medical practices over cultural beliefs, one must weigh all options and nuances. While evidence-based medicine (EBM) is grounded in scientific methods and proven efficacy, cultural medical beliefs often hold deep significance within communities and religious groups. Disregarding cultural beliefs entirely can be insensitive and disregard the holistic needs and values of patients. However, when these beliefs conflict with established medical knowledge, prioritizing EBM becomes a matter of ethics and patient well-being.
Fadiman’s metaphor that compares the Hmong to a visual perception puzzle is an excellent example of this phenomenon. The Hmong, like the intricate puzzle, embody a complex interplay of culture, history, and identity. Understanding their worldview requires patience, empathy, and an openness to seeing beyond surface differences. This demands careful observation and interpretation, as one would need a deep dive of the Hmong’s medical beliefs.
In situations where cultural beliefs pose risks to individual health or public safety, it’s ethically imperative to prioritize evidence-based practices. In the case of Lia Lee in “The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down” the unfortunate consequences of neglecting medical expertise in favor of cultural traditions is shown. While respecting cultural diversity is crucial, it must not impede on the primary goal of ensuring the best possible health outcomes for all individuals.

Title: Critical Thinking and Controversial Topics: Finding the Best Approach to Addressing Important Issues
Introduction (approximately 150 words): Introduce readers to your topic and why it is important. Include a brief preview of what you will accomplish in this paper.
You may include pictures or other media here. (This creativity is not part of your grade but can enhance the power and meaningfulness of your paper. Think of it like a magazine article about your topic.
First Argument (approximately 200 words): Present the best argument (in standard form) for the side of the issue most supported by scholarly research. Cite at least two scholarly sources in your argument. Your argument may include premises from scholarly sources such as those you analyzed in week 3, but you can also add additional premises of your own to make the argument as powerful as you can. (Do not just use the same argument you analyzed for the week 3 assignment).
Opposing Argument (approximately 200 words): Present the best argument you can for an opposing side of the issue. Put the argument in standard form and cite at least one credible (preferably scholarly) source to support the premises.
Analysis of the Arguments (approximately 300 words): Evaluate the quality of the two arguments given above and explain which argument is stronger and why. Justify your position, not with opinion, but with an analysis of the quality of the evidence and reasoning.
Address questions such as: How well supported are the argument’s premises? How strongly does the conclusion follow from the premises? Are there any issues that affect the quality of the argument? How might someone with a different point of view object to the argument?
Analyze which argument is stronger than the other and explain why. Justify your position, not with opinion, but with your analysis of the quality of the evidence and reasoning.
Presentation of your own approach to addressing the issue (approximately 200 words): Based on what you have learned, present an argument for what you think is the best approach to solving/addressing this issue. Your argument can refer to a solution to this difficult problem or to a specific way you can contribute meaningfully to help with this cause. For example, if your topic is homelessness, you could address the best societal-level way to reduce homelessness or the best (most effective) way that you can help others find housing.
Addressing an objection to your chosen approach (approximately 300 words): Present what you think is the best possible objection to your argument/approach to the issue and your best reply to this objection (e.g., How might you overcome any potential concerns or negative side-effects from your chosen approach?) Cite a scholarly or other credible source in this section (either in your presentation of the objection or in your response to it).
Conclusion (approximately 150 words): Summarize what you have learned about how controversial topics should be addressed by critical thinkers. Discuss how a critical-thinking based approach could help address and contribute to solving this issue. You may include pictures (or other creative artifacts) in this section, including a visual of what an approach to addressing this issue might look like. (This is not part of your grade, but images can enhance the meaningfulness and impact of what you have presented.)
