Discussion post: share with everyone what you learned or tell us what you found interesting in one paragraph. If you prefer, find the questions in the learning module unit 3 and write the answer to one of them. and then I need a respond to two student in same topics I will post one of the student post and after I receive the discussion post and one respond will post the second one.

the questions are :- What makes intercultural communication successful? -How can a nutrition educator communicate information to a diverse group of people whose primary language is not English? -What are some general applicable rules when communicating to a diverse population? - Choose a culture (American Indian, African American, Hispanic or Latinos, Asian Americans) and brainstorm ideas for a nutrition and physical activity program. What steps would you take to create a culturally relevant program to prevent chronic diseases? First student discussion that I need respond to it: Something in chapter 3 that I thought was very interesting and relatable was an example used on page 57 at the beginning of the chapter. When it first introduces Intercultural Communication Concepts it gives an example of a health professional advising a Chinese client to increase calcium intake through increased milk consumption. It then relates that this health professional may not know whether the client uses or drinks milk in their culture, if they are lactose intolerant, or if they have any other beliefs or traditions about milk. Unless the health professional gains an understanding about the client the message could be ignored or the relationship may be at risk. I loved this example as I have lived in another country and had a similar experience. I was living in Paraguay and got sick so I went to see a doctor. During the visit he explained to me that in Paraguay cooking everything with oil was considered very healthy and I should try to consume more of it. To me, I thought that was disgusting and not going to help me feel better. I wasn't asked how much I use oil or if I like it or if I had any sickness while consuming too much oil or even if my body was accustomed to that much oil, like they use in the Paraguayan diet. I left not listening to any of the advice I was given and I didn't want to see that doctor again. The next time I was sick, I didn't even go back! This experience helped me to relate to the chapter and understand why it's so important to understand someone else's culture and even personal beliefs within a culture so that a client or patient can see results, improve on any health issues they may have, and trust those who are working to help them. If the Health professional in the chapter had asked questions about the clients diet, beliefs, and preferences they may have formed a better relationship and the client may have trusted any recommendation made and seen results because of it.
