Well...the fine details actually don't really matter for this paper. The focus is more about decisions I would make as a nurse that reflect integration of transcultural nursing theory; the scenario itself is not important or worth any marks.

Originally posted by Slylee i wouldn't call it weird but more like selfish lol what's the point of offering a fucking drink to someone if you're just going to force them to drink what YOU want them to drink/what's convenient for you? no offense, just sayin...

it's more typical when drinking in formal situations with family members, but the same situation happened to me when i went out drinking with a few native korean buddies the other weekend. i got offered a rum and coke- i hate rum and coke. so what i ended up doing is asking if they had orange juice instead and had a screwdriver. so in the end i wasn't refusing anything and i got what i wanted.

in formal situations i would take the drink and pretend to drink it, and just not finish it (so someone won't refill it up for me)

Is it rude to accept medical treatment upon first offer in Japan, too? That would make for a good paper.

This little group of mexican people called the tzotzil have a weird system where some kinds of illness are thought of as being either 'warm' or 'cold', and they're to be treated with a form of medicine bearing the appropriate symbolism of temperature.

i would never drink anything i didn't want to...especially when it comes to liquor. not everyone likes hard booze and it's rude to force someone to drink it.

food is a different story though, i'll eat anything anyone prepares for me.


sorry to hijack jenny's thread but one time at an office xmas party, my former boss was wasted and "making" us all do shots...one after the other, it was getting ridiculous and he was clearly not having it (us saying, "no more"). so i just started going along with everything and pretending to take my shots and dumping them in the garbage. lol the whole time laughing inside thinking, "fuck u, waste your money if you want to, you drunken bully asshole"
