Cultural competency is the ability interact effectively and respectfully with people from diverse backgrounds. When working with those from other cultures, it is important for us to identify our own biases so we can open ourselves to learn more about other cultural practices. Appreciation of our own cultural identities can help us to understand, acknowledge and accept the identities of others.
In a world of growing diversity and the need to interact with those who may be "different" from us, the issue of "otherness" has become more prevalent.

Diversity is a hot topic right now. Before you dive into diversity and inclusion conversations, it’s important to understand the terms and words you use in these crucial conversations. Every organization tries to adopt new equity analysis tools to see how they’re doing from the employee’s perspective.
Language Decoded: Canadian Inclusive Language GlossaryCanadianCMF
The words that we use open up a world of possibility and opportunity, one that allows us to express, share, and educate. Like many other things, language evolves over time, but sometimes this fluidity can also lead to miscommunication.
Language Decoded is a project that is meant to make individuals think before they speak. It is an inclusive language glossary that we hope all can learn from.
This glossary is intended to empower anyone who reads it. It symbolizes the stories of all of the people, experiences, and perspectives that exist, and encourages us to be more mindful of how we choose to convey ourselves. By opening up to new ways of understanding the world,
we become strengthened through unity. Adopting an inclusive vocabulary promotes others to accept, embrace, and celebrate our differences, and acts as a catalyst for more meaningful changes to take place.
This tool was envisioned to be used as a guide that provides valuable history and context, and was not produced to shame, belittle, or otherwise dictate one’s self-expression. Due to its ever-changing nature, language selection will rarely be a black or white issue. However, we are certain that with the right awareness, intentions, and alternatives, that we can all engage in discussions that treat others with respect and dignity. While the knowledge contained within this glossary encompasses many topics, we also recognize that there may be additional words or phrases missing from our list. Please use this as a prompt for further discussion within your own lives about the intricate and multifaceted power of language, and how we can all work together to generate positive change.
This project was started by Canadian Cultural Mosaic Foundation with a collaborative approach. We worked with a group of diverse organizations and individuals that share a passion for inclusion and justice. We wanted to develop a resource that reflects the growth of our society and represents all of our unique community members. Words have the ability to shape how we see the world and each other, therefore it is important to create conversations everyone feels welcome to be a part of.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Diversity is defined as acknowledging,

celebrating differences among people
with respect to age, class, ethnicity,
gender, physical and mental ability,
race, sexual orientation, spiritual
practice, and public assistance status.
Numerous benefits to embracing
diversity.
6. Diversity and You!
Roadblocks Ways to Overcome
Biases Recognizing that they exist;
willingness to move beyond
Stereotypes Bias-free, inclusive
communication
Prejudices Understanding and
sincerely caring about how
you affect others
Not wanting to get involved
7. Diversity and You!
Stereotyping and its Effects:
Stereotypes have 3 characteristics:
They imply that all people in the group are the same. “You
know how men are.”
They contain a judgment. Notice that the judgment often
reveals more about the stereotyper’s beliefs or expectations
than it does about the stereotyped individual. “Young people
today don’t have a good work ethic.”
Stereotypes are fairly inflexible.
By seeing all people in a group as the same, you deny people
their individuality.
You distort your own ability to get a clear view about the person in
question leading you to prejudge or misjudge others.
Stereotyping is often demeaning and offensive; you are treating
the person as less valuable limiting THEIR opportunities.
8. Diversity
There are two dimensions of diversity;
Primary dimensions, which are factors that
are born to us.
Primary dimensions would include
age, sex, race, skin- color and other things we
have absolutely no control over.
Secondary dimensions, which are learned.
Secondary dimensions include
education, religion, socioeconomic
status, geographic location, etc…
9. Diversity
Our country’s demographic make up is
becoming increasingly more diverse.
Which means our workforce is also
more diverse.
So lets honor and appreciate the new
workforce.
10. Diversity
We must also deal appropriately with
various cultural differences such as
religious holidays or rituals; language
barriers and training.
Everyone has something of value to
offer, if we can just take the time to
learn about each another.
11. Race:
Refers to genetic or biologically
based similarities among
people which are
distinguishable and unique and
function to mark or separate
groups of people from one
another.
(Race is less biological…more
political, social)
12. Ethnicity:
Refers to a wide variety of
groups who might share a
language, historical origins,
religion, identification with a
common nation-state, or
cultural system.
13. Culture:
A learned set of shared
interpretations about
beliefs, values, and norms,
which affect the behaviors
of a relatively large group of
people.

then to be understood.”Steven

Editor's Notes
Diversity is beneficial to both associates and employers. Although associates are interdependent in the workplace, respecting individual differences can increase productivity. Diversity in the workplace can reduce lawsuits and increase marketing opportunities, recruitment, and creativity.In an era when flexibility and creativity are keys to competitiveness, diversity is critical for any organization's success, including Villanova Dining Services
Biases are internal beliefs; mental prejudgments that can be either positive or negative about an individual. It’s not until you act out this belief in speech and behavior that others receive the impact. Biased, stereotypical, or otherwise demeaning communication undermines morale, teamwork, and productivity. It can drive customers away and cause public relations fiascos. It could also be interpreted as an indicator of a hostile work environment. It is never acceptable to treat any member of the Villanova community (students, staff, faculty, co-workers, management, vendors, etc..) in a negative manner.
# 2. “Young people today don’t have a good work ethic” – this reflects the mindset of the stereotyper – everyone should structure work the same way he or she does. It does not acknowledge that many younger people work very hard, or that there are different ways to accomplish meaningful work.# 3. When we encounter someone who does not fit our stereotype, it’s easier to consider that person the “exception to the rule,” rather tan question the validity of the stereotype
