Critical Analysis of the Spirit Catches You and You... in this world. It shapes people how they behave and interact with almost everything in society. Influencing behavior, character formation, ideals, policies, standards are just some of the social dimensions and perspectives influenced and influenced by religion. Because of these applications and implications in human life and existence, religion should be understood deeply, especially how it affects the world. Looking at the American perspective of the term “religion,” it may simply be that each of these cultural competencies has its own influence and impactful effect on the continuum of the lives of the characters that make up the story. As history progresses, the impact of cultural values, beliefs and traditional norms that have guided the Hmong people have created their own unique traditions and practices. This affected the overall development of their cognitive abilities and emotional abilities. Furthermore, these cultural competences defined their lives, the way they lived in the community and the way they organized their roles and functions towards society. These were various cultural domains that collectively defined their personality and how they should live their lives and unique individuals.

These are the cultural and religious influences that have made them unable to understand the narrative presentation and critical applications of modern knowledge and science. Because of their own cultural manifestations and traditions, the Hmong people could not care less about the applications and understanding of modern practices and expressions. Likewise, after Lia was thought to be possessed by an evil spirit, the community considered her a poor girl disturbed by lost souls. It is important to consider that the Hmong had their own way of spiritual beliefs and religious healing practices. However, after the community decided to exclude Lia from the applications and advantages of modern medicine, the young woman's condition worsened (Parish, 2004, p. 131). It was not wrong at all to humanize medicine, but apparently, as a multicultural community, the Hmong people have become too ignorant and indignant about the applications and benefits of modern medicine applications. By remaining steadfast in their religious affiliations and behaviors, the ultimate healing effect became misaligned and ineffective. This was the misunderstanding that should be clarified in the story.
