Question

Please write a paper of no less than 2 pages and no more than 3 concerning the following scenario:

Scenario: A young Native American woman fell sustaining an injuring to her arm. After a week, her arm is still painful which causes her to visit a physician at your clinic. The physician orders tests, ascertains that there is no fracture, and decides to simply advise over-the-counter medication for inflammation and pain. Two weeks later the patient returns with the same issue at which time the physician believes that physical therapy will help the injured arm. While undergoing physical therapy, the patient also visits with a local healer who prescribes herbal treatments for the injury. The patient returns to see the physician after two weeks with an improvement in her injury. On her last visit she wanted to discuss her desire to use natural treatments in conjunction with physical therapy with the white doctor but did not. In fact, she has discussed very little with her doctor about her injury, how it has affected her ability to care for her children and elderly mother, etc. She doesn’t fully trust the white doctor and has heard him sound skeptical concerning healers from her culture or other types of “non-traditional” treatments. The patient does, however, feel that natural remedies administered by healers help her.

Assignment 1: Management Perspective and Culture Differences in Ethics 
In the global world, there are people with different cultures. Cultural values and norms of 
individuals shape their behavior and create their fundamental beliefs also. Cultural differences 
among people also affect their perception and perspective towards the society as well as health 
care industry. 
As per the management perspective, cultural differences create conflicts between people, 
which arises needs to bring differences in policies and ethics according to the situation. The 
culture of country is directly based on ethical behavior of managers and vice versa. According to 
the management perspective, ethical behavior of managers can be depicted in two different ways 
such as by collecting information about ethical behavior of team and groups or by overt public 
statement to follow ethics and policies (Veatch, 2004). Culture for business firms and for 
managers cannot be defined universally, thus, differences in culture, influences managers to 
make different ethics and policies.  
For instance, when a manager works in two different environment of culture such as a 
western and Chinese culture, he has to use different techniques and policies to manage ethics 
among individuals as due to cultural differences their perceptions and thoughts also differ. 
Culture relies on three different levels such as artifact, public and coliseum. All these levels align 
with the social values and perception, thus there is a need to make policies according to the 
cultural differences (Lysaught & Kotva, 2012). 
In the medical and healthcare industry, it is imperative for the manager to concern the 
ethical perspective and practices according to the cultural differences.  It is imperative to use 
ethics according to culture background of patients, so that patients can trust their doctors and get
