Family Values and Wider Societal Cultural Values

Question: Discuss about Reflection On The Differences And Similarities Between One Of The Family Values And Wider Societal Cultural Values. Answer: Reflection on the values of religion According to Huseb, O'Regan and Nestel, (2015), religion can have a positive as well as negative impact on the family values. Every religious group thinks that their religion has the best values. There has been increasing effect of extremism that is leading to hatred and intolerance. Insensitivity of tolerating other religion has been increasing. The difference in the thought process of people belonging to different religion has been considerably increasing making the World a ring for people to fight in the name of religion (Young Young, 2014). Therefore, the level of tolerance and integrity has to be increased to make the world a better place to live. Wave tool is a visual reflective tool that helps in self evaluation and helps to formulate an individuals analysis. As pointed out by Wepa, (2015), family values are passed from one generation to the other and therefore, it is important to make a balance of the value. These family values sometimes remain invisible but they always persist. For instance, if a family is intolerable towards other religion, the fact will be reflected in some kind of behavior. The values that I gained from my family teach us is to reach out to the suffering and the pained individuals and accept them without being judgmental (Padela et al., 2012). It has been taught that without respecting a human, the values of a human do not hold any importance. An incident can be explained keeping Gibbs Reflective Cycle in mind. Once we planned to visit the church. On the way, we heard a person, who seemed to be atheist, criticizing the people who visit the Church often. This made other people furious and they tried to stop him. My mother commented on this matter that no one can force people to follow religion but it completely depends on an individual. Everyone should be tolerant towards any kind of religious approach. This was a lesson that I learnt from my family values and this would always remain in my mind. It depends on the values of the family that creates a great impact on the thoughts and action of an individual. The challenges are how to protect the members from the cruel world. Believes about sharing and creating an emotional touch with others is what required to make peace in the world. By the end of the discussion, I can claim myself to be in the of the cliff top in the Wave tool where it can be said that the values of religion is one of many things to look at. As a nurse, we have to deal with people belonging to different culture and religion. The fact that humanity comes before religion is the prime concept to be kept in mind. There might be many religions that the world witness but developing a brotherhood among all is the most important aspect of the world. Developing own mind set and overcoming the challenges that arises at different point of time should be the prime objective. References: Huseb, S. E., O'Regan, S., Nestel, D. (2015).
