CHAPTER 1
PRELIMINARY
1.1 Background
Richard Sugg's book reveals that in the 16th and 17th centuries many Europeans, including
nobles, priests and scientists, consumed drugs containing human bones, blood and fat. This
is done as a treatment for headaches and epilepsy. Skull is usually one of the common
ingredients taken in powder form, to cure headaches. The powder is believed to cure
nosebleeds and possibly epilepsy. Human fat is used to care for the outside of the body.
German doctors prescribed bandages soaked in it for wounds, and applying the fat to the
skin was considered a remedy for gout.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
Western Europe in its most general sense is a political concept that emerged and was used
during the Cold War. Its borders were formed at the end of World War II, and consisted of
countries that were not occupied by Soviet troops and not controlled by communist
regimes. Western Europe differs from eastern Europe more economically and politically
than by geography.
Europe is traditionally divided into regions based on location according to four compass
points: Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, Western Europe, and Northern Europe. The
British Isles are often considered a separate region but can be included as part of Western
Europe. These areas are purely geographic areas that may have similar physical geography
or cultural characteristics based on physical geographic demands. For political history
purposes, Europe is divided into two regions, namely Western Europe and Eastern Europe.
In this case, the Western Europe region includes Northern Europe, Southern Europe,
Central Europe and the British Isles. Eastern Europe is everything east of Germany,
Austria, and Italy. These regional labels are used more for identification than for regional
analysis. They serve as traditional labels of geographic locations. Traditional regions in
Europe are currently no longer relevant compared to the past since the formation of the
European Union (EU). Economic and political relations have become more integrated than
in the past when nation-states and empires were more important. Economic conditions
often supersede cultural factors and increase the need for increased integration. Cultural
forces have traditionally supported nationalist movements that seek to preserve the culture,
heritage, and traditions of a society. Regional cultural differences remain the social fabric
of local communities that supports the maintenance of their identity. Modern transportation
and communications technologies have brought Europe's many identities into one sphere
of global recognition.
1.The current population of Western Europe is 195,938,694 as of Wednesday, November
22, 2023, according to the latest UN estimates.
2.The population of Western Europe is equivalent to 2.43% of the world's total population.
Population distribution
The European population is spread across a number of regions. Generally the population
concentration is in Northern, Southern and Western Europe. Population concentration is
seen in large cities and their surroundings, such as Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Madrid
and Warsaw. In Germany, population concentration is not only around the coast but also
inland considering that many cities and industries have been built in the interior of the
continent.
1. Netherlands
The Netherlands is one of the countries with the highest population density in Western
Europe. Even though it has a relatively small area, the Netherlands has managed to
accommodate more than 17 million residents. Good urban planning policies and modern
infrastructure are the keys to this country's success in managing population density.
2. Belgium
Belgium is also famous for its high population density. The country has around 11.5
million people living in a relatively small area.Despite its relatively small area, Belgium is
one of the political and economic centers in Europe. Cities such as Brussels, Antwerp and
Bruges are magnets for foreign tourists.
3. England
England also has significant population density, especially in the capital region of
London.London is one of the most populous cities in Europe with a population of around 9
million people.Advanced infrastructure and abundant job opportunities make the UK an
attractive place for many people.
4. Germany
5. France
France, which is the second largest country in Europe, also has a dense population. The
city of Paris, the capital of France, is one of the most populous cities in Europe with more
than 2 million residents. Apart from Paris, other big cities such as Marseille, Lyon and
Toulouse also have high population densities. The natural beauty, culture and economic
opportunities that France offers make it an attractive destination for immigrants.
The EU has 24 official languages, three of which: English, French and German have
higher "procedural" language status[1] in the European Commission (while the European
Parliament accepts all official languages as working languages). And Christianity is the
religion in Europe with the most adherents. Christianity had been practiced in Europe since
the 1st century, and a number of Paul's Letters were addressed to Christians living in
Greece, as well as the Roman Empire.
2.1 Eastern Europe
Since the collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe, observers of the region have sought to
understand the roots and direction of this transformation. This perspective raises
questions regarding identity and representational politics in Eastern Europe compared to
the West. The latter perspective specifically draws parallels between postsocialism and
postcolonialism, highlighting the social, political, and economic disparities between East
and West, and the ways in which Eastern and Western conceptualizations are mutually
shaped. We ask new questions about the post-socialist experience by drawing on insights
from postcolonial studies. Specifically, we focus on four main themes of postcolonial
studies: orientalism, nation and identity, hybridity, and voice.
a. Orientalism
Verdery (1996) was one of the first anthropologists to explore the application of
postcolonial studies in a postsocialist context, noting that the two answer different
questions. Postcolonial studies examined representations of “self” and “other,” and the
Cold War was organized around a dichotomy, not of “colony” and “metropole,” but of
“West” and “East.” The same dichotomy has been perpetuated in the post-socialist era,
particularly through discussions of what differentiates Western democracies from the
communist regimes of the Cold War era ( Watson 2000 ). Verdery (2002) asks us to
explore how the “West” and the “East” create and disseminate images of each other, and
for what purposes, including representations of socialism and capitalism and practices of
domination. 2 Whether the entire territory of Eastern Europe during the socialist era was
actually colonized by Soviet Russia is still a matter of debate, and the diversity of
socialist experiences in different countries warns us against broad generalizations.
Moreover, the racial dimensions of colonialism and post-colonialism may have limited
application to socialist and post-socialist projects, although post-socialist nation-building
has also been shown to involve racial politics (Imre 2005) and through which issues of
ethnicity have come to attention. central in many post-socialist contexts. (e.g., Korac
1996 , 1998 ).
c. Hybridity
In postcolonial studies, the concept of hybridity emerged from the writings of Homi
Bhabha (1995). Before being adopted by postcolonial studies, in some contexts such as
Latin America, “hybridity” referred to “mixture,” from biological or “racial” mixture to
cultural fusion (Alonso 2004). Hybridity is also used to refer to belonging to multiple
worlds, whether personal, professional, gender, ethnic, or geographic ( Narayan 1997 ).
Attention to the hybrid nature of identity challenges researchers to use fieldwork to
question assumptions about liminality, localization, and authenticity. The hybridity
perspective reminds us that cultures are not always coherent or homogeneous. Hybridity
encourages research to reveal heterogeneity in culture, as well as authority/power and
contestation of cultural hegemony (Rosaldo 1989: 207).
Said (1989 : 210) argues that only after the “natives” made enough “noise” were they
finally recognized and allowed to “speak.” The articles in this special section inform the
anthropology of global flows and the ways in which global flows are received and
resisted by “natives.” In her highly influential essay “Can the Subaltern Speak,” Gayatri
Spivak (1988) questioned the extent to which the most marginalized groups (e.g., the
illiterate peasantry, the urban underclass) could challenge elite historiography and
discourse (see also Spivak 1985 ) . Although the articles collected here do not focus on
those who were so marginalized during the post-socialist transition process that they were
voiceless, the authors attempt to recover the voices of those who were the object of
post-socialist transition discourse. The authors show Polish Catholics and feminists,
Hungarian sexual minorities, and Polish NGO workers as agents of political and social
change, both through action and the production and manipulation of discourse. The
process of globalization plays an important role in the production and negotiation of
post-socialist transition discourse. Globalization exists as a grand narrative that describes
“the massive flow of goods, people, information, and capital across vast areas of the
earth's surface in a way that makes the parts dependent on the whole” (Trouillot 2001:
128). Although globalization is often conceptualized as unidirectional, from “the West” to
“other countries,” current attention is focused more on the flow of objects, people,
images, and discourse to and from various locations. People in all social positions can
and do participate in these processes, although they often have different access to power
and the ability to effect meaningful change. According to Appadurai (2000 : 6), this
global flow provides new possibilities for action and imagining alternative solutions.
Moreover, globalization provides the possibility of reconsidering Cold War-era area
studies based on notions of fixed borders and the immobility of people and ideas. As the
articles collected in this special section show, we need to consider not only how the
globalization of gender and democracy ideas and discourses are received by local
societies, but also how that globalization challenges us to reconsider our understanding of
the relationships between different regions of the world . previously considered
ideologically and geographically separate.
CHAPTER 3
CULTURAL CHARACTERISTIC
3.1 Cultrural Aspects
Culture definitely is the older term, having been used already by authors in ancient Rome
to denote the entirety of man's actions especially in relation to the manifold forms of
mastering nature. The concept of civilization is of far more recent vintage. It is an
eighteenth-century French noun, formed from the older adjective 'civilisé', civilized,
which was used as an alternative for 'poli', polite, polished hence, for example, in Dutch
'beschaafd', or 'shaven', i.e. smooth, polished, as against 'ruw', raw, rough). But in
German, 'Kultur' together with the concept of 'Bildung', as man's intellectual as well as
physical formation though education - still was considered to denote something of a more
complex and indeed higher-ordered quality than 'Zivilisation', the latter seen as no more
than a veneer, a polish. Yet, in France it was 'civilisation' that prevailed, to indicate the
'high' culture of the French elite who aspired to lead the rest of Europe. That notion then
spread to other countries, being understood as the cosmopolitan, refined way of life of
which seventeenth-century France had set the example [10]
A hundred years later, historical relations with social theory were somewhat less
symmetrical than those in the Enlightenment Century. Historians are increasingly away
from social theory, but also from social history. The abandonment of this social history can
be explained for several reasons. First, it was during this period that European
governments began to view history as a means of increasing nation unity, citizenship
education, or as the less sympathetic observer said, as a means of nationalist propaganda.
When Germany and Italy were new to the establishment, and older countries such as
France and Spain were still divided by the regional tradition, national history teaching in
schools and universities encouraged the creation of political integration. History, which is
financed by the government, is quite natural indeed the history of the country. In Germany
the relationship between historians and governments is very closely because they argue
that their historical writing is more objective and more scientific than the history of their
predecessors. The spread of new intellectual idealism has to do with the
professionalization of the disciplines that occurred in the 19th century, when research
institutions, special journals and majors at universities were first established. [13]
Turkey is recorded as the country with the sixth highest ranking in providing official
development assistance (ODA) and has succeeded in overtaking developed countries such
as the United States, Britain, France and Germany and becoming the third largest donor
country in proportion to its gross national product (GNP). This is because Turkey has
adopted a development model that prioritizes sincerity, transparency, human-centered
approach, responsiveness along fairness, resolution, sustainable partnership and reciprocity.
Turkey's ODA assistance through the TİKA institution has in fact succeeded in spreading
widely from the Pacific, Central Asia, Middle East, Balkans, Caucasus, South America to
Africa (Erbay, 2012).
Turkey's official development assistance (ODA) and humanitarian assistance reflect itself
as one of the country's successful development actors (E. Fuat Keyman; Onur Sazak,
2014). Previously, Turkey was only a country receiving aid due to the poverty problem that
occurred, but now it has transformed into a donor country for other countries. The
involvement of developing countries as aid donors in the international relations system has
brought major changes to the development of international development finance and
changed the balance of power within it (Faris Kočan; Jana Arbeiter, 2019). In this case, the
realized Turkish assistance program (TİKA) has provided positive results and created
sustainable relations in various countries, including most recently African countries.
In general, Africa plays a very important role for Turkey, because it is an area that has great
potential for progress, however, currently humanitarian assistance or development
assistance still needs to be provided. This can be seen from the activities carried out by
Turkey in 1998 by creating an African Initiative Action Plan to rebuild better relations. The
plans made cover the fields of economics, politics, education, health, peace, security,
dispute resolution, mediation, administrative and civil infrastructure development projects.
In 2003, the ministry of health in Turkey launched the Health Transformation Program
(HTP), a ten-year health reform with the main goal to provide universal health coverage to
all, especially the poor, amongst strengthening primary care services and expanding
hospital capacity to improve health outcomes. Indeed, the percentage of the Turkish
population covered by government health insurance has increased over 28 percent since
2002 and reached 98.5 percent by 2020. Health insurance is now mandatory for all under
Turkey’s General Health Insurance (Genel Sağlık Sigortası, GSS) scheme with those
earning under a certain threshold receiving free health care.
3.6 Language
Up until the end of the second period (around 1920), there is a clear focus on Europe, but
with very little consideration of teaching English as a foreign language as distinct from the
teaching of other languages. In the 1920s, however, work connected specifically with the
developing role of English outside Europe in Asia, especially suddenly, and quite
unexpectedly, became dominant in the mainstream history of ELT (English Language
Teaching for speakers of other languages), as seen from our UK-based perspective. Thiss,
Europe overview has a two-stage structure: the first stage refers to 'Modern Language
Teaching in Europe (1750-1920)', and the second to English Language Teaching beyond
and within Europe (1920-2000+). Modern foreign languages were learnt and, to a limited
extent, taught in western Europe for centuries before they appeared on the curricula of
schools around the middle of the eighteenth century. Throughout the ensuing period, which
we term the "Classical Period' due to the way the teaching of Latin and Greek served as a
model for instructional methods, English played a relatively minor role indeed, the
population of Britain and the USA combined in 1800 was less than half that of France
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2013). Second to English Language Teaching beyond and within
Europe from around 1970 some of the ideas, aims, and procedures which had dominated
English language teaching for the preceding fifty or so years began to change once more,
and gradually the label communicative' began to be applied. The basic com- mon purpose
of the changes was clear enough, namely to shift the aims and priorities of language
teaching away from the acquisition of well-rehearsed skills in their own right and towards
the confident use of those skills in the attainment of purposes and objectives of importance
to the learner in the 'real world'. We are probably, as yet, too close to the communicative
movement which has yet to run its full course to ascertain from a historical perspective
what was completely new and what was carried over from previous periods. Considerable
excitement was generated by the appearance of what appeared to be revolutionary new
ideas, and the communicative 'paradigm shift' is often linked in existing accounts to
momentous shifts in back- ground theory (Chomsky, Hymes, etc.). [11]
3.7 Treatment
Medical services are provided, especially for the poor, in thousands of monastery hospitals
that appear throughout Europe, but the treatment is not perfect and especially palliative.
Greek and Roman taboo meant that surgery was usually banned in ancient times, but in the
Middle Ages it changed: teachers and medical students in Bologna began to open the
human body, and Mondino de Luzzi (about 1275-1326) produced the first known
anatomical textbook. based on human surgery. Wallis identified the prestige hierarchy with
the university educated physician above, followed by the surgeon learned; trained surgeon;
barber surgeon; traveling specialists such as dentists and ophthalmologists; empirical; and
midwives. [12]
3.8 Food
One of the main challenges will be to achieve an efficient distribution of nutritional and
inexpensive foodstuffs to urban inhabitants. Failure to meet this challenge could lead to a
repeat of the widespread political unrest and rising social instability already well-
documented in cities throughout the world when sharp rises in food prices have been
precipitated by the need to cut food subsidies. Despite the sophistication of their
food-supply systems, very large European cities of the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries did not escape food crises. In particular, policymakers were unimpressed by the
physique of the urban males of military age they saw around them; and lamented their
undernourishment or 'irrational nutrition. Although famines were essentially a rural
experience linked to harvest failure, no metropolitan centre in Europe could avoid food
crises in the twentieth century. Varying in intensity, food shortages ranged from queues at
shops and food rationing to periods of near starvation during the times when European
cities were at the centre of two world wars. Jukka Gronow deals with the emergence of
Soviet food culture in first-class restaurants and gastronomic food shops in the 1930s.
Consumerism at this time might be associated with shortages but a full account of
communist food retailing must also take into account its surprising attachment to luxuries.
The paper charts the rise of the chain stores, Gastronom and Bakaleya, which were
supposedly. showcases of socialist abundance and prosperity; the reality was that they
served only a privileged minority, as did the small number of 'first-class' restaurants. [9]
CHAPTER 4
THE UK AND THE STATE OF SPAIN
4.1 English
Several decades ago, England was attacked by a plague deadly disease namely malaria.
Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite called Plasmodium and is transmitted through the
bite of a mosquito infected with the parasite. If it enters the human body, the parasite will
multiply in the liver and then infect red blood cells. Malaria sufferers will usually show
initial symptoms like influenza sufferers. However, if this disease is not treated properly,
complications will occur that can lead to death. Knowing this fact, ancient English people
used to use rolls of spider webs that are shaped like capsules and consume it.
Unfortunately, the evidence for the efficacy of these tablets has faded several centuries
ago. Now, this type of drug is being developed which uses live spider material.
4.2 Spain
Cultural and Religious/Spiritual Beliefs and the Impact on Health that Fear to Death has on
Gender and Age, Among a Romani Minority Group from Southern Spain results showed a
positive influence of paranormal beliefs on health in the Gypsy/Romani sample. Such
correlation extends to the results found in the general population. It has been stated that
some individuals may come to rely on paranormal beliefs to cope during times of stress and
adversity, such as alienation, social deprivation and social loneliness. However, we have to
acknowledge that Gypsies may sometimes exaggerate the common Gypsy stereotypes of
themselves, for economic reasons, in view of maintaining their reputation as fortune tellers,
healing spiritualists, psychics, religious or gifted people with supernatural powers. Our
study suggests the positive influence of this idiosyncrasy on health.
The fear of death, as found in previous studies on general population. reported a negative
influence on health. The fact that health was affected by fear of the death of others, but not
by fear of one's own death may be related to the value that Romani families give to the
funeral rituals and their attitudes on death and dying. Paranormal beliefs, the interpretation
of religious/spiri-tual experiences and the fear of death all share a connection with a
lifestyle that emphasizes the impact of magical thinking. This may be associated with a
greater spirituality observed in the literature on Psychology of Spirituality, as well as
previous studies, which have also stressed the role of spirituality as a coping resource in
stressful situations. Furthermore, while the gender differences observed are consistent with
previous studies on the general population that attribute more religiousness to women, this
study observes a major influence of cultural and religious aspects in Gypsies, given the
expression of spirituality through paranormal beliefs and fear of death. Although the results
of this study can contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the relationship between
religion and health, there are still some limitations that prevent their generalization. The
first difficulty had to do with recruiting a small sample, given the dispersed nature of the
population under study. A second limitation was collecting personal data individually on a
sample that included some elderly and functionally-illiterate people. A third limitation was
the lack of specific studies conducted on Romani people that would contrast the results of
this study. Most research on this field was conducted on people living in the United States,
whereas there are only a few studies in Europe and none on Spanish cultural minorities. We
clearly have to move forward in recognizing the multicultural reality that surrounds
spiritual factors in the participants of our study, towards a better understanding of Spanish
gypsies' idiosyncrasy. [8]
CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTION
5.1 Conclusions
5.2 Suggestions
In our opinion, the nurses there are still less professional due to a substantial lack of good
communication. It was concluded that there are three functions of nurses in carrying out
their roles, namely, independent functions of nurses, dependent functions of nurses and
interdependent functions of nurses. So they have to improve substantially again and be more
professional. In carrying out nursing care, nurses have roles and functions as nurses
including care providers, family advocates, disease prevention, education, counseling,
collaboration, ethical decision makers and researchers.
