First, by understanding that intercultural competence is complex, and it requires growing and maturing in three areas: mind set, heart set, and skill set. Mindset is the domain where as we learn and engage with others, we recognize similarities and differences. A growth mind set requires self-awareness and cultural awareness. Heart set is the domain where we learn to acknowledge, appreciate, and accept cultural differences. There are six dimensions to your heart set: Self esteem Self-monitoring Empathy Open mindedness Reserved judgment Social relaxation Listening Skill set involves our intercultural agility; the ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture.

Identity and RepresentationContext and DescriptionWhen we ar.docx

flonayrton46696

Identity and Representation Context and Description When we are asked about our identity, often we describe it in terms of the groups that we belong to, such as a sports team, club or other kinds of social groups. We may also mention our school, occupation or a specific workplace. We may think of our identity in terms of our gender, ethnicity or nationality. Where we live--the neighborhood or type of residence--may also influence our sense of who we are. The languages we speak in those groups also shapes our sense of who we are and how others see us. When we encounter a member of groups other than our own, sometimes it becomes necessary to reflect on and explain the values, assumptions and practices of the groups we belong to in order to resolve conflicts and to facilitate communication. Joining a new social group may also challenge those values, assumptions and practices that come from our pre-existing membership in other groups. The purpose of this project is to explore how identity is shaped, negotiated, and represented in relation to our membership in various groups. Write an analytical essay that explores your identity in terms of your own group memberships. For this project, you may focus on any of the following: the complex construction of identity through membership in various (and sometimes conflicting/competing) groups how you represent your identity in relation to the social expectations or stereotypes of being a member of a group (expectations vs. reality) the tension or struggle you encounter as a member of certain groups (e.g., how you represent yourself to others from different groups) how entering a new, possibly unfamiliar group (for example, moving away from home and/or starting college) affects the values and assumptions you brought with you As you explore your ideas, consider the following questions: What social groups do you belong to? How are these groups categorized (social groups, organizations, athletic teams, ethnic groups, or religious groups; by nationality, gender, neighborhoods, or communities)? What aspects of the group memberships are negotiable? Which ones are fixed or difficult to change? What aspects, characteristics, or expectations, if any, of these groups overlap with one another? Do they compete with one another? How are these groups perceived by people who are not members of those groups? Are there stereotypes associated with a certain group or groups you belong to? If so, what are they, and to what extent do you see those stereotypes occurring in others or yourself? How do those stereotypes affect you and people around you? How do your group memberships affect the ways in which you communicate with others? How do your memberships influence how you relate to others or how others relate to you? Explore all possible communities to which you belong and look for the one or ones that seem to have the richest potential for exploring your cultural identity.

Final Project Cultural ImmersionCultural Competence is an ess.docx

AKHIL969626

Final Project: Cultural Immersion Cultural Competence is an essential aspect of counselor training. In order to begin to understand a culture, it is essential to have sustained interaction with the culture. For the final project for this course, each student will be responsible for actively investigating multicultural issues in the “real world,” by gradually immersing in a culture different from their own. The immersion project will involve experiential learning about other cultures. The intent is to increase your knowledge and sensitivity to other cultures. In order to complete this project successfully, you will need to work on it throughout the entire course. As part of the project, each of you will select a culture different from your own and participate in at least three distinct cultural immersion experiences/observations within that culture. The idea is to gradually immerse into the different culture over the course of the term. You may use the list of suggestions below to guide your immersion process or you can devise some ideas of your own. It is essential that each experience is qualitatively different from that of your own culture and that the experiences gradually become more involved directly with the culture of choice. 1. The activities you select must include active involvement in the culture/activity. In other words, you may “observe” the culture but you may not limit the activity to passive observation. Make sure that each activity involves interaction with members of the culture, either through active participation in the activity itself or through conversations with members of the culture. Of course your third activity, the personal dialogue, already requires your active participation. 2. Submit a written narrative of your immersion activities. The paper will be 8-10 pages long (typed, double-spaced, 12 point font), This paper must include the following elements: · Identification and Description of Population: This section must clearly identify the population you will be studying, how this population is different from you, and what your perceptions of this group are at this point in life. The description of differences should include both the obvious (visible differences, etc.) and the not so obvious (religious beliefs, sexual orientation, etc.). Please state all the differences you can identify. Your perceptions of this group should include information such as what you were told about this group as you were growing up, any beliefs/perceptions/assumptions you have about this group, what your sources of information about this group have been in the past, and why you have an interest in this group. In this section, you must make a case for how this person is different from you and why this experience will be challenging for you. · Observation: You will need to complete at least three observational activities of the group you have chosen to study. Examples and suggestions of observational activities are listed below. If y ...

End with thesis statement. EX. Consistent observation, [specific documents], and an interview with [expert/novice name & title] reveal [discourse community name]’s mechanisms/ communicative aims/goals/ideas about [concept] (2 SUMMARIZE SWALES’S CHARACTERISTICS One strategy: • Introduce a characteristic (w/citation) • Explain characteristic (w/citation) • Provide examples Ex. Swales requires “specific lexis” of any group th at might be called a discou rse community (222). He does not rule out terms that can be used in other contexts (222). For instance, a group of roommates might be just as concerned with parking as a communi ty of factory workers, and words related to that idea can be found in both communities. His em phasis, however, is on “shared and specialized terminology” as a way to understand group dynami cs through communicative formats (222). It would be more valuable, for example, to know that in Professor Myers’s class, “DCA” is a common abbreviation for a major assignment than to know that instructor uses the phrase “freak out” frequently. 3 BASIC INFO • Consider • What makes this group a discourse community? • What makes the analysis of this DC unique or interesting? • What matters to members of the community? What do they do? What do they value? 3) METHODOLOGY • How did I gather my data? • How often did I observe my DC? In what setting? • Whom did I interview? Why was this person selected? 4) APLY SWALES’S CHARACTERISTICS TO MY DC • Why does the group exist? What does th e group do? What are its shared goals? • How do group members communicate with one anot her (e.g., meetings, phone calls, e-mail, text messages, newsletters, reports, evaluation forms, blogs, online bulletin boards, etc.)? • What are the purposes of the group’s communicati ons (share information, reinforce values, make money, improve performance, offer support, declare identity, etc.)? • Which of the above communications can be considered genres (i.e., textual responses to recurring situations that all group members recognize and understand)? • What kinds of specialized language ( lexis ) do group members use in their conversations and in their written genres? • Who are the “old timers” in the group with expert ise? Who are the newcomers with less expertise? How do newcomers learn the appropriate language, ge.

Introduction In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: · Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more. Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image. Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what. Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work. Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place. Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life. For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it. Chapter - 1 The Law of Attraction The law of attraction is the most powerful force in the universe. If you work against it, it can only bring you pain and misery. Successful people know this but have kept it hidden from the lower class for centuries because th

Civic Engagement Active participation in the public life of a local, national, and/or global community in an informed, committed, and constructive manner.
