Traditional Finnish Food



First at all, Food in Finland is mix of traditional dishes with European Food. Finnish people love to eat sausages and to organise barbacues. The most popular meats in Finland are pork, beef , chicken and duck .Approximately one third of this is eaten as sausage, which is mostly made from pork but often mixes in other meats as well. Finnish summer is not complete without grillimakkara. These big, fat sausages made for grilling are eaten with mustard and washed down with beer. Finns love them. Children grow up eating this snack food at the summer cottage but also during winter around a campfire.
Another famous food is Ruislepä  meaning “bread with a hole”. It is dense and flat and and very heavy but Finns will have it sent through the post when they are living abroad.

 Also, Poronkäristys is made for Reindeer are found in Finland’s northern province of Lapland and their meat is one of the healthiest foods you can put on your plate according to recent studies. Poronkäristys served with mashed potatoes, this dish is eaten throughout the country, in all seasons.
Those are the dishes that I recommend most but I really want to continue tasting Finnish food and enjoying all its gastronomy!

Giger y Davidhizar model (nursing and culture)

The Transcultural Giger and Davidhizar evaluation model was developed in 1988 in response to the need for nursing students in an undergraduate program to assess and care for patients who were culturally diverse. The model includes six cultural phenomena: communication, time, space, social organization, environmental control, and biological variations. These provide a framework for patient assessment and culturally sensitive care can be designed. The Giger and Davidhizar Transcultural model postulates that each individual is culturally unique and should be evaluated according to six cultural phenomena: (A) communication, (b) space, (c) social organization, (d) time, (e) of the environmental control, and (f) the biological variations.

Dr L.Purnell and Paulanka model

This model is based on based on the cultural competence and its process: C ultural Competence  is the process of becoming aware of our culture, and how we communicate that awareness to the rest of the world.  The Purnell Model for Cultural Competence  is a sequence of circles or rings that each contain the development of this awareness of culture and how it continues to expand from the family to the whole world. The first ring of the model  holds the person. The  second ring of the model  holds the family. The  third ring of the model holds the community. The  outermost ring of the model  holds the global community. There are also different subsections inside each ring of the model that account for changes and evolution in the individual's cultural competence that include occupation, religion, education, politics, ethnicity and nationality, and gender. According to the model, all of these different subsections and circles continue on until the individual is culturally compet

Main theories about Culture and Society

There are four main theories about Culture and Society that are: Evolutionism, particularism, diffusionism, Functionalism, Structuralism . Evolutionism In the second half of the 19th century, it was thought that culture developed uniformly. According to this anthropological model, all cultures and societies are governed by the same historical laws that determine their evolution. Edward B. Taylor was his representative. He affirms that every culture evolves from simple to complex and that all societies go through three great stages: savagery, barbarism and civilization. The savagery is a poorly developed system, based on hunting and gathering, barbarism, the invention of agriculture and the use of metals, and civilization is characterized by the appearance of writing. Taylor also said that culture follows a linear and progressive development, but many societies stop at their cultural development and fall behind other peoples; In addition, the cultural features of a stage never
