In addition, the “cartoon page” Post -racial America? sums it all issues up, I suppose. The movie “Why I Love a Country That Once Betrayed Me” remains me of the Tuskegee Airmen.…

    I can imagine that the culture difference would definitely be a barrier if I work with the children in Philadelphia. In my opinion, the key to address this problem is my attitude as a counselor.

On the other hand, I need to get myself educated about the local culture in order to have a deeper understanding of my clients and provide cultural-sensitive services for them. In the multi-cultural counseling, my own self-reflection is of tremendous importance as well.…
