Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page discussion of the problems child abuse presents for a child that is from a
non-mainstream culture. Young children of these families are often oblivious to mainstream society. By the time they have reached school age they have often acquired at least some familiarity with mainstream culture but they still strongly identify with the culture in which they have been
raised. These children may or may not, however, be fully conversant with mainstream culture. When one of them is abused they are immersed in that
mainstream culture almost overnight. Even when they are placed with a family member they are still subjected to a never-ending entourage of one
professional after another who is interested in protecting their welfare. These professionals encounter a number of challenges in dealing with
these children. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

health nursing encompasses a diversity of health care and social arenas in this multicultural world. Community nurses find themselves involved in everything from the provision of prenatal health
care to women with neither economic nor familial resources, to the operation of clinics to curtail drug use in a community, to intervention in cases of domestic violence in dysfunctional
families. When a child is removed from one of these families they may have even more difficulty in front of them in trying to interact in a world which differs
culturally from the one with which they are accustomed. Even when that child is placed with another family member certain problems can be expected to manifest.
A comparison of some of the predominant cultures which have immigrated to the United States and which essentially displaced its aboriginal peoples provides and interesting opportunity
to acknowledge both the similarities and differences which formed our collective cultural fabric as we know it today. The most common characteristic that we find between the indigenous cultures
