Introduction.
Cultural diversity has been a significant issue of concern in
family lives and also workplace experienced. There are many
elements that make up a society and the societal norms that are
expected to be upheld by all the members of society. When one
goes against these norms, it may create unnecessary friction
within the society.
Definition
Cultural diversity means that people can exist peacefully amidst
their differences that may arise due to the difference in sexual
orientation, age, gender, religion, and race. Intolerance in
respect, to the differences that may exist between people, is the
sole cause of the problems that are experienced in the society.
Comment by LaKeisha Boggan: Be sure that you are giving
credit to sources from which information is obtained.
Body
For this part I will focus on my personal experience with my
cousin who turned to be a lesbian, my family was reluctant to
accept her being a members of the Southern Baptist church that
deems same-sex marriage or lesbianism as an evil act that needs
to be condemned with the strongest terms possible. She ended
up being chased away from home and if you spoke to her that
made you just as guilty. It was looked at you condoned her acts
instead of loving the person. It took the family some
deliberations to accept her back, although hesitant, she was
eventually allowed back to family events without all the
gossiping and she got married to her long term girlfriend, they
are now happily married.
Part 1: Comment by LaKeisha Boggan: Be sure that you are
addressing the items listed under the content guideline. This
section should address the following to help guide you:
Identify your personal biases and how they may impact your
counseling approach.
Describe your personal history by documenting experiences
with discrimination you may have experienced and how your
cultural background impacted these experiences. If you have not
had any experiences, share why you believe this to be true.
Identify memories of contact with those who were culturally
different than you, and your experiences associated with these
differences. Be specific.
How has your life experience affected how you may relate to
persons different than you? Be specific.
• I am likely interacting with people who are homosexual due
to the experience.
• My personal history on the issues are anchored on the
experience I had with my cousin, who was a lesbian, and she
was shunned by family.
• I have been able to embrace people’s differences as much as
they do not infringe my rights.
Part II
• Subtle racism means that a person has a negative attitude
towards other people of different cultures. Comment by
LaKeisha Boggan: Be sure that a referenced definition and
example is provided.
• The differences are mainly. As a result, the difference in the
way people think or reason towards some elements. Comment by
LaKeisha Boggan: It appears that you didn’t finish your thought
here. Why could there be significant differences in perceptions
and values of members within the same ethnic group? Be
specific.
Part III
ACA and NAADAC codes of ethics will form the guide in
approaching the ethical considerations in interacting with
people with diversities. The guiding principles for each
framework are essential in approaching this work. Cultural
sensitization is essential as it ensures that ethics are observed
when dealing with people from various backgrounds.
Comment by LaKeisha Boggan: There are several items
that need to be addressed in this section that have not been
identified in your outline. The following should be addressed
within this section:
Discuss how the ACA and NAADAC codes of ethics will inform
your practice.
Identify and cite the specific ACA and NAADA multicultural
codes that you will use to inform your practice.
What did you learn about the importance of cultural sensitivity
in treatment planning?
How do communication styles and help-seeking behaviors differ
across cultures?
How might strategies to build rapport be differentiated based on
culture?
Examine underlying reasons for differential treatment methods.
Consult several professional journals on treatment practices and
cultural biases.
Identify sources of potential counselor cultural bias within these
practices.
What resources could help you to become more informed
regarding cultural diversity? Cite resources you can use to
dispel your personal biases.
How could you apply your learning to your future practice as a
counselor?
Conclusion
In summary, diversity means that people are able to tolerate the
differences that other individual exhibit. This may include
accommodating people who go against your cultural beliefs and
norms. Intolerance to diversity is addressed through many legal
provisions that seeks to protect people who are different from
other. Ethical conduct assert that respect and tolerance should
be the key focus in places of work.
