Answer to Question 1

A
Cultural beliefs serve as a conscious and unconscious point of reference that guides the outlook and decisions of people. Culture incorporates the experience of the past and influences the present. Having cultural beliefs will not help with the process of acculturating to a new environment, help understand other cultures, or help people adjust to the new environment.

Answer to Question 2

C
Several research tools have been developed for measuring spirituality. The Spiritual Perspective Scale is a tool which is used to measure the extent to which one holds spiritual views during spirituality-related interactions. The Spiritual Well-Being Tool measures the psychological dimension of spiritual wellness and the JAREL Spiritual Well-Being Scale measures harmony as a function of interconnectedness. These tools do not measure spiritual distress.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
