=Cultural Influences on Health=

In class we have been learning about how our health is influenced by outside factors. The impact that culture has on our health may seem a little less obvious than others, but they are just as abundant. Traditions that are supposedly "American" actually have their roots in other countries and cultures all over the world. Your job is to research the culture that your group is given and record your findings on the Wiki page for your culture. Keep the following topics in mind when doing your research:
 * Traditions
 * Diet
 * Dance/physical activity
 * Health problems
 * Location (rural vs. urban)
 * Climate

Your site should also be visually appealing and include relevant pictures. Make sure to cite the source for pictures and research at the bottom of the page.

 * Library books
