Social organization implies to the manner in which specific groups align with family groups.
The impact to the culture of a group is dependent on structure and organization of the family.
Therefore, it implies that culture of a society influences the organization of the family.
For any individual to present with desirable behavior the family structure should be knit.
Social organization in this context is dependent on the family structure and its organization.
Therefore, organization of the family unit is the main framework of social organization.
Social organization consequently necessitates the presence of family structure.
Without the presence of family structure then social organization is unlikely.

Time is dependent on three classifications, however future time is considered indispensable in regard to health promotion.
Therefore teaching of the client in regard to focusing on practices that will elevate health status in future will suffice.
Personal and intimate space are the important aspects in space and should be respected.
For instance during teaching effort should be made to utilize other forms of space but elude these two as they either make or break relations.
I would ensure that I hold the cultural uniqueness of the client with compassion and empathy.
Health motivation is an important aspect and every patient should be told of the importance of internal control.
Communication is critical in every therapeutic relationship and it should be done in a manner that conforms to the cultural aspects.
