Correct Use of Terminology
LO1,P1, Correct Use of Terminology
In this piece of coursework I am going to show and explain my understanding of the correct use of terminology that is important in Health and Social Care.
The term beliefs can be defined as “something believed; an opinion or conviction” (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/belief) also it can be defined as, “Confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof” (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/belief).
Beliefs can be focused on a religion or beliefs can be about what is happening around us. Beliefs can be powerful and can have a massive impact on others and can influence our decisions and thoughts. This can affect the way people are treated in health and social care. This can be explained with people who have the belief of “it will never happen to me”, this could be a belief towards any illness, such as, cancer. Another example of belief could be religious. If a Jehovah’s Witnesses family member needed a blood transfusion to save their life, it is against their beliefs to accept a blood transfusion.
The term values can be defined as “The regard that something is held to deserve; the importance or preciousness of something” (http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&q=value&tbs=dfn:1&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=NGlcUNaaBrGN0wXmyIGADA&ved=0CB0QkQ4&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=ac23bd86824066e7&biw=1366&bih=585)
Values of the individual usually develop as they grow and can be majorly influenced by the people they grow up around, whether it is parents or friends. This socialisation can be positive or negative and can impact the way we see the world. An example of someone having values is the example of someone being a vegan, as they believe animal welfare is important and they value that.
The term culture can be described as, “the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners, scholarly
