Week 9: Cultural Values of Diverse Groups During the 2016 presidential race, then-candidate Dr. Ben Carson commented that President Barack Obama was raised white, and for him to [] claim that [] he identifies with the experience of black Americans, I think, is a bit of a stretch (Thrush, 2016). Many people at the time criticized Dr. Carsons statement for implying that there is one way to be African American or one way to experience race issues in the United States. Individuals who are part of large diaspora, or population groups living away from their historical homelands, often have widely varying backgrounds and experiences. Consider how the experiences and cultural worldview of an African American who lives in the rural south and is the descendant of individuals who were enslaved might differ from the experiences and cultural worldview of a first-generation Nigerian immigrant living in Washington, DC. People who belong to broad cultural categories such as African American, Caucasian, or Asian American may have some characteristics in common but be vastly different in other ways. This week you compare and contrast cultural values among three large and diverse ethnic groups. Your goal is to recognize similarities or experiences that might be applicable to many people within the group, while being aware of areas for differences. This will give you a chance to examine the growth of your own knowledge of similarities and differences between the groups. You examine your own cultural biases to ensure that you are being culturally sensitive when providing services to a variety of ethnic groups. Finally, you begin work on your Final Project presentation. Learning Objectives Students will: Contrast cultural values among diverse populations *Analyze immersion experiences Discussion: Cultural Values When Working With Diverse Groups Online Class My professor wrote: One way is through the use of schemas, which are mental structures that help the mind organize new information and relate it to old information and experiences. By relating information in this way, humans can more quickly process experiences and make judgments and decisions. When you meet someone new, your brain automatically uses these schemas to identify characteristics or behavior that would allow you to classify the person into a group that you may already know. While an adaptive and helpful strategy that the human brain possesses, when taken to an extreme, it could lead to the formation of unhelpful or incorrect stereotypes about groups. When working with clients from diverse groups, human and social services professionals need to bring conscious thought to their perceptions of people, in addition to the automatic thinking that humans engage in. In other words, use your schemas and acknowledge commonalities, but also research information on groups you work with, take the time to become aware of individual differences, and always seek to bring cultural sensitivity to your understanding of and practice with clients. For this Discussion, you compare cultural values of three broadly defined groups: African Americans, Asian Americans, and Caucasians. You then consider how you would practice cultural awareness and sensitivity when providing services to members of each group. To Prepare: Review this weeks Learning Resources, and consider the cultural values of African American, Asian American, and Caucasian populations. Perform your own research on values or experiences of these populations that may impact work with them. Post (online blackboard) a comparison of the cultural values of African American, Asian American, and Caucasian populations. On what areas must a human and social services professional focus to ensure that he/she is being culturally aware and sensitive as it pertains to providing services to members of each group? Why? Note: In addition to your weekly Learning Resources, you should reference at least two additional outside sources. Required Readings Diller, J. V. (2015).
