4-2 Activity: Critical Analysis: Reimagine Cultural Beliefs and Practices: Cultural beliefs and
practices have a significant impact on how people think about and behave when it comes to
personal hygiene. People's views on personal hygiene may differ depending on the
cleanliness expectations of their respective cultures. For instance, customs like taking a daily
bath may be widespread in certain cultures but less so in others. When people from various
backgrounds meet or when discussing personal hygiene in a larger social context, these
cultural differences may give rise to prejudices and judgments (Cutler & Wamala, 2020).
Media and Social Influences: Media, especially social media and advertising, may have a big
impact on how society views personal hygiene. Advertising efforts often highlight personal
hygiene goods, which may lead to demands and ideals for unrealistic attractiveness. As they
may highlight certain routines or items, social media influencers may also affect how people
see and debate personal hygiene habits. These factors may alter how individuals see personal
hygiene and shape cultural trends and ideas (Perloff, 2014). Barriers to Personal Hygiene:
Engagement Stigma is one possible barrier that can prevent people from engaging with the
subject of personal hygiene. Stigma describes unfavorable opinions, prejudices, and treatment
