CUC107 Applying Cultural Capabilities Report
Value: 45%
Length: 1500 - 1700 words
Due: Monday, 11:59pm (CST), Week 13
Submission
· Submit your report through the Assessment 3 ‘Cultural
6. Capabilities Report’ link
in the ‘Assessment Submission’ area of Learnline by the due
date.This assignment is submitted using SafeAssign.
· Save your Word document file with your name, unit name, and
assessment number included (e.g. Jamie Green CUC107
Assessment 3). Ensure you have your name, student number and
page number in the footer of your document, and the title of the
assignment in the header.
Task Overview
Introduction: It has been argued that cultural capabilities are
fundamental to operating effectively in the workplace,
community and the university. Cultural self-awareness, cultural
intelligence and cultural capability are all required for creating
safe work and social spaces. So, to complete this task you will
be drawing together all of the learning from the unit to show
understanding of strategies to create safe spaces.
Task: Write a formal report to observe and analyse whether
characters in a video scenario (from the choices given below)
are showing effective cultural capabilities and maintaining a
culturally safe space. Also, recommend how effective cultural
capabilities of the characters in the video could be improved.
Task details
The report should:
· Summarise and describe observations of the interactions
related to aspects of cultural capabilities in the video clip.
· Analyse (with formal references) the safe and unsafe aspects
of the scenario, including the physical location and interactions
between actors.
· Provide recommendations for creating or sustaining this video
scenario as a culturally safe space.
7. · Be written in a formal tone - avoid personal language,
contractions and slang. (For more information, see link to
formal writing in the Assessment Tasks Overview Summary
Table.)
Steps for successfully completing Assessment 3
1. Choose the video clip you will analyse from the selection
below.
As you think about which video clip to choose, observe the way
that various social and cultural groups are represented in
fictional scenes. For example, the video clip in Week 8 learning
materials about ‘active listening’ clearly shows a male
businessperson first ignoring and then listening to advice from
his female adviser. This illustrates active listening but there are
also cultural norms being shown about male and female roles.
When you are looking at narrative films, look for and try to
comment on the hidden cultural communication also being
shown.

2. Format the Report
Prepare the layout before writing.
Font size and type: Use font size 12. You may use font type
calibri, arial or times new roman. Margins: Use Default margin,
2.54cm.
Line Spacing: 1.5 line spacing. You will need to include
sections and subsections which should have numbered and titled
headings. Word counts for each section below are only a guide
but do indicate relative importance of the sections. This is
reflected in the marking for each section.
(Please do not include the word count and the section
instructions below in your report. This is only provided as
information to help you in preparing the report.)
3. Title of Report: This should be on a separate page and is not
9. numbered. Include the title, your name and student number, and
the date. The title should include the name of the video and
describe what the report will do. You can be creative to make an
interesting title page.
4. Table of Contents: This should be on a separate page and is
not numbered. A table of contents provides a list of the Sections
and Sub-sections that you have used in your report, and the
page on which they start. (The Section titles should be aligned
on the left-hand side of the page, with the sub-sections
indented. The page numbers where each section and sub-section
begins should be aligned on the right-hand side of the page.)
5. Contents of the Report: The Section titles should be aligned
on the left-hand side of the page, with the sub-sections
indented. Section and sub-sections should be numbered.
1. Introduction (approx. 200 words):Briefly explain background,
aim and scope of this report. Include the following sub-sections
in the introduction.
1.1 Background An orientation to the topic of cultural
capability and safe spaces.
1.2Aim Tell the reader what the report aims to do – i.e. It will
provide a summary, description and analysis of an example of a
safe or unsafe space, and will recommend improvements to
improve the safety of the space where appropriate.
1.3Scope Explain what the report will focus on, including what
video, what particular scenes you will be discussing, and if the
example depicts a safe or unsafe space.
2. Summary and Observations (Approx. 350- 400 words):This
section will include two sub-sections.
2.1 Summary of the Video Clip: Include the name of the TV
Show or movie, the season and episode if it is a TV show or
10. year released for a movie. Your summary needs to include:
· a reference to the multi-media clip that you will choose to
illustrate safe (or unsafe) spaces
· the setting (social, academic or workplace) with a general
overview of the scene
· any relevant background information to understand the scene
· identification of the key characters.
2.2 Observations: Identify the behaviours and scenarios in the
video that are evidence of the cultural safety issues and cultural
capability displayed in the video. These observations should
confirm your statement in the introduction about whether the
space is safe or unsafe. Some of the things to look for and
describe are: physical factors (size and layout of space, position
of people in the space), communication factors (body language,
voice, words), signs of inclusion or exclusion, and displays of
or lack of cultural intelligence. It is a good idea to include a
Table to set out your observations.
If you use a table, remember that it will need to be introduced,
and a number and title provided, as per below. (Note replace
highlighted instructions with your own words):
Table 1 Title of table here
Scene description time in sequence
Column heading eg Sign of empathy
Column heading eg Body language
Column heading eg Voice Tone
11. Add more rows if needed
3. Analysis: (700-800 words):
In this section you should demonstrate your understanding of
the key concepts covered in the unit. Using relevant literature,
together with your observations in section 2 of elements within
the video clip, analyse whether chosen scenes are a safe or an
unsafe space and explain why. Support your claims about
whether each scene is a safe or unsafe space with readings and
definitions of the concepts that comprise cultural safety
including cultural intelligence and cultural capabilities. For
example, you might write something like this.
In the early part of the sequence of events, Jane displayed a
high level of cultural intelligence by adjusting her behaviour
with direct eye contact and using a calm tone of voice as soon
as she became aware that her patient had never been in a
hospital before. This had an instant effect on the patient who
visibly relaxed and began to talk. This is an excellent example
of what Brislin, Worthley and McNab (2006, p. 40) define as
cultural intelligence or the ability to adjust to another culture.
Jane showed she was reading the other person’s uncomfortable
body language and adjusted her approach appropriately to make
the patient feel safe in that new place.This is one way that her
cultural capability in her role as a hospital registrar is relevant
in making the patient feel safe as they enter the hospital.
This example shows how the student has:
12. · Identified an example of cultural intelligence from the video
clip
· Integrated a definition of cultural intelligence from one of her
readings
· Explained how the behaviour in this example relates to the
definition and the broader question for the report
Hint: As noted earlier, to improve clarity, your analysis may
include numbered sub-headings to highlight and structure key
issues or reasons that you have identified in your video as
important to whether the space represented there is safe or not
safe (e.g. 3.1 Empathy, 3.2 Intercultural Communication, 3.3
Awareness of Body Language, 3.4 Culture Shock, Etc.).
4. Recommendations (150 – 200 words): Based on your analysis
section, make recommendations for how situations in the video
may be changed using cultural capabilities to make this a safer
space. The recommendations that you make should tie in very
closely to your discussion in the analysis section. If the
scenario is already safe, identify what aspects of the scenario
have been important in making it safe. References are needed
here.
5. Summary and Conclusion (approx. 100 words): Summarise
the main ideas. What did your chosen video show about safe
spaces, and what actions needed to be taken to make it a safe
space, if anything? No new material or references should be
included in the summary and conclusion.
References: This list should be on a separate page and is not
numbered. The title, References, should be centred in the page.
The reference list should follow APA Style guidelines
(http://libguides.cdu.edu.au/ld.php?content_id=40378641).
Include all of the readings that you have mentioned throughout
your report. You need to have at least seven references. Include
at least four of the readings we have provided during the
semester (Holley and Steiner 2005; Bruhn 2005; Brislin,
13. Worthley and McNab 2006; Quappe and Cantatore 2005;
Russell 2011; Flanja 2009; Spencer-Oatey 2012). You will
need to conduct your own research by including at least two
references as well as the video clip reference. See CDU Library
for additional journal articles and books. Avoid referencing
websites. You are expected to use academic texts. Hint: Refer
to the video reference in your Summary and Observation, and
readings in the Analysis and Recommendations section.
Preparation
Before writing: Brainstorm connections between developing
cultural capabilities and creating safe spaces.
· Write down the connections you identified in assessment 2
about cultural intelligence, and cultural self-awareness as they
relate to developing cultural capabilities.
· Think about what you have learned about cultural judgments:
how do effective cultural judgments create productive safe
spaces?
· Some initial questions to prompt your thinking might include:
· What is the relationship between cultural judgments and
cultural empathy?
· How do we negotiate and create safe spaces?
· Whose responsibility is it to create and sustain these spaces?
· Who could take an action to improve the situation being
represented?
· Jot down some key points (with references).
· Review what an analysis is. Apply this technique to your
video and readings to identify the links between, for example,
cultural empathy and safe social and work settings.
· Consider how the literature can help to explain and analyse
your chosen film scene relating to work or social space
applications.
Some tips and more detailed questions you might ask yourself
14. when analysing and discussing the video using readings for this
report. Use the following framework to help analyse the video
clip. Remember to refer back to what you have learned
throughout the semester to think about the following questions.
Cultural self-awareness:
· Do any of the characters display cultural self- awareness (or
lack of)? How do they do this?
· What sorts of behaviours indicate their awareness or lack
thereof?
Cultural intelligence:
· Do the characters display characteristics of cultural
intelligence? How do you know?
· How is cross-cultural communication being conveyed?
Cultural difference:
· Is cultural difference a source of conflict?
· What happens when conflict is present and how do the
characters respond?
Cultural capabilities:
· Are there any cultural judgments present in the scene? Which
characters make cultural judgments and if so, how do they do
this?
· How do the characters create safe or unsafe spaces?
Visual cues to look for:
· Safe atmosphere (safe from physical, emotional or
psychological harm?)
· Body language, eye contact, hand placement, stance, proximity
· Verbal communication (what and how)
How does cultural empathy relate to safe spaces?
· How does cultural empathy help create effective work or
social, settings?
· How would you recognise that cultural empathy is occurring
[or not] in any setting.
