With the ever changing health care reform, it is important to consider what culturally diverse means. Cultural diversity in the workplace occurs when a company hires employees from a variety of backgrounds, race, gender, age, or religion. FHCC has recently opened a new facility in a neighborhood that is culturally diverse. FHCC is experiencing low patient influx due to the fact that there is a lack of cultural diversity of among the staff. Some of the factors affecting the patient influx include: a. Language barriers: Miscommunication in the healthcare sector can be life-threatening.…

My Own Cultural Clash All parents have high hopes for their children, they want them to become a: lawyer, doctor, engineer, or something along those lines, most adults just want their children to be successful. My career was practically chosen for me as early as the 3rd grade. I stood above everyone in the crowd, literally, I was 5’4”. I’m tall and black, so everyone had assumed I was either heavily into some kind of popular sport, but stereotypically the question I was most frequently asked is “Do you play basketball?”. What made it even worse is that my mom expected to me play basketball, in fact that’s what she would tell my whole family.…
Description of the content This course will provide participants with techniques and skills to enhance their knowledge and skillset related to diversity training. Diversity is a topic that is very hard to discuss, and at times individuals are not willing to engage in conversations with others who may have a different culture or background than themselves. I would like to increase participants’ knowledge of cultural competence. What (specifically) do you expect to benefit from redesigning this instruction (other than better-designed instruction)…
My residential community has had a great impact on me. The community provides an ideal atmosphere to meet a variety of people. Not only does the residential community promote diversity and inclusion, but it has also granted me the unique opportunity of leading in a college atmosphere. After arriving at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I started spending most of my time in the lobby because my room did not have air conditioning. While in the lobby, I met a racially and geographically diverse group of people.…
These experiences encourage student growth, character development and mimic real life situations. The effect diversity has on a campus is instrumental in setting the tone and culture for both its internal and external community. Culture is the “social fabric of community”, implying that as groups live and work together they develop distinctive “philosophies, ideologies, values, assumptions, beliefs,…
There’s multiple ways that Texas A&M could help produce a campus climate more inclusive, and obviously some are better than others. Nonetheless, I think that sometimes simple solutions are the most effective. Food is huge component of culture. Eating together often brings people together and can be used to introduce different cultures to people. For that reason, I propose the expansion of Latinx food within campus.…
“Anyone—from anywhere—can write the next chapter of our story.” In 2014, President Barack Obama declared June to be National Immigrant Heritage Month. It’s a relatively new celebration, but it’s starting to catch fire. 2016 is its third year, and now many celebrities, everyday people, and organizations have stepped into the spotlight to showcase their culture and their #immigrantpride.…
I am currently a first year pharmacy student and Fall 2016 was my first involvement with Project Collaborate. Presently, I serve as the College-at-Large Representative. This past semester, I helped host the HEB Feast of Sharing with my co-representative, along with Rho Chi and KE. I enjoyed being able to cater to the needs of the event in order to make sure it runs smoothly. I learned a great deal about the importance of communication, organization, and promptness through working with my fellow representatives.…
While analyzing the required text for this week there were five ethical categories that reoccurred through each document: responsibilities to parents, collaboration, community, personal development, and students. In addition, there are other categories, but these are the most significant to me. Special education teachers have a responsibility to parents: • Use culturally appropriate communication with parents and families that is respectful and accurately understood (CEC, 2010). • Actively seek and use the knowledge of parents and individuals with exceptionalities when planning, conduction, and evaluating special education services and empower them as partners in the education process (CEC, 2010). • Respect the private nature of the special…

This time I went to a powwow for my multicultural event. It was not my first time at a powwow. Since I am part of an Aztec Dance group back at home. The Aztec dance group has been invited to dance at different powwows and I have had the opportunity to travel and learn a little bit more about different powwows in Minnesota and also in Wisconsin. The biggest powwow I’ve been part of, was the one in Wisconsin.…
Before this course had initiated I measured myself as a person who was conscious of diversity and embraced the term. To my dismay I soon apprehended that I was not as open-minded as I had presumed that I was. Although, I had attended a multi-cultural school during my adolescent years that exposed me to different ethnicities. I had not developed a culturally competent way of thinking until I entered into Wayne State University’s School of Social Work program this fall. During my tenure at this diverse school I cultivated personal relationships with a multitude of people from different races, who possessed diverse beliefs and religions.…
