Culture Links
This page has links that may be of value to people taking courses such as Community Health that require doing some research on different cultures.
There can be differences in how a culture is seen by people inside and outside that particular culture. In the case of cultures that cover large geographic territories, there may be wide variations in the culture from one local geographic area to another. The opinions of authors in the different web sites are the private opinions of those authors and those opinions might not be shared by anybody associated with this web site.
Some internet web sites have errors. Care needs to be taken to ensure the articles read and used do not contain serious errors. Students are advised to use several sources of information when researching a topic. Some teachers will require a minimum number of sources. Good students will use more resources than the minimum number the teacher requires.
We hope you will enjoy reading about different cultures and will read material that will help open your mind and your heart to people who may have life styles that are very different than your own life style.
