Reflect on an element of your own culture -think deeply about the origins of that tradition or belief or activity (reference) and what it means to you as well as what it may mean to others. Think of how you might feel (or consider the feelings of others experiences e.g migrants) if your health (or the health system) prevented you from participating or honoring that belief. Link this reflection to unit content.
