The Frontier Nursing Service in Hyden, Kentucky, was my home for the year of 1968. Here is an excerpt from my book from during that time:
“When I arrived here in Kentucky, the heartland of Appalachia, I determined to dive into the local culture – hook, line, and sinker. Why? Culture is shaped by people. The simple truth is, I love people. When I meet someone, beyond even conscious thought, I hanker to know what makes them tick.
What do you like, dislike? What about your past? What formed you into who you are today? How can I help you? Just let me know.
That’s why I became a nurse. That’s why I embrace culture. I see culture as a multitude of someones I can reach out to and come to know and sometimes love. And they, me.”
Here’s our question for today:
How would you define culture?
