As a social worker, you may not often have the  ability to select your clients. Social workers must be able to work  within a variety of cross-cultural settings and possess the skills to  provide focused interventions to diverse populations. As a Walden  student, you will often be asked to reflect on culturally sensitive  approaches and ways that you would apply them to specific situations.

By Day 7

Submit, using Kaltura Media, a 5- to 7-minute video in which you respond to the following:

Part A: Introduction

Provide  an innovative introduction of yourself. Include your name and any  interesting background information related to your ethnicity and/or any  other aspects of your identification. In your introduction, describe a  diverse population that you would like to work with or that you  currently work with.

Part B: Definitions and Applications 

In  social work education and practice, you will often encounter a variety  of definitions. Below, you will find twelve words associated with the  concept of diversity and difference in practice. For this section,  provide a working definition for two of the following terms. Then,  describe how a vulnerable/diverse population might experience the word  that you have selected. For example, you may select “Marginalization.”  You will discuss how a specific population has experienced this. Be  specific.

Bias  Oppression  Marginalization  Ethnicity    Gender Identity and Expression  Privilege  Social Justice  Cultural Awareness    Diversity  Intersectionality  Cultural Humility  Empathy

Part C: Developing Cultural Humility: 

As  you consider your future path in the profession, what are some  strategies that you would incorporate to develop your own sense of  cultural humility to ensure culturally respectful practice? Discuss two  practical strategies.

Script

It  is highly recommended that you write a script before recording your  video. A good guide for translating the length of your written script  into video time is about 135 words per minute.

Will we drive ourselves to a nervous breakdown like the rat? Will we continue to perceive the situation at hand as insoluble? What can save us? We’ve just read 16 chapters about words, communication, extensional approach, the intentional orientation, the two-valued system.

Take time to think about all this and in good essay (APA) form, tell me what you think. What has this course in “interpersonal relations” and communication made you consider and think about? Are we Rats or men? Can we change and improve? Two or three pages is sufficient, but you can write as much as you would like. Please be sure that it is in good essay format: cover sheet, introductory paragraph, supporting paragraphs, and conclusion. This is very important, but what you think is even more important. I hope you will walk away from this course “thinking”.

REMEMBER THE QUESTION IS: “Are we rats or men?”

As Hayakawa tells us in his final chapter (“Rats and Men”), “social institutions tend to change slowly” even when the necessity for them ceases to exist. Ah, change – a difficult thing for both “mice and men”. Hayakawa continues to explain to us that the fear of change has caused the problems of “cultural lag”.

We have indeed become a global society. With the proliferation and ease of procurement of technology of all types, we are “one world”. Humanity seems to resist the fast and furious change that is coming everyday; we fear the sudden change to the new and sometimes puzzling “thing”, whatever it might be. Some of us don’t even understand it. I’m sure you have a parent or grandparent who laughs at “pads” and “pods” and “androids”. Where are the good old days when we simply dialed the number we wanted and someone answered.

Hayakawa presents the question: are we rats or men?

“As social dislocations grow more serious, fear and confusion spread. As fear and confusion spread, societies, like individuals, grow increasingly disturbed at their failure to solve their problems.”

Will we drive ourselves to a nervous breakdown like the rat? Will we continue to perceive the situation at hand as insoluble? What can save us? We’ve just read 16 chapters about words, communication, extensional approach, the intentional orientation, the two-valued system.
