Cultural Competence as a concept was initially created as an offshoot of multiculturalism and globalization. We typically think of cultural competence as a panacea in addressing cross-cultural integration from the micro, mezzo and macro perspectives. In professional practice, cultural competence proposes numerous ways of understanding society and provides practice approaches and strategies that acknowledge and respect people from diverse backgrounds e.g. sexual orientation, social class, race, color, ethnicity, culture, language, immigration status, gender, marital status, age, political ideology, religion, literacy level and physical attributes.. As we further examine Cultural Competence, we must think about positions of inequality, recognize undercurrents of power differences, and explore ways of confirming a social justice perspective within the context of difference, intersectionality and empowerment. We must also understand Cultural Competence from the viewpoint of history as well as ...

The word cultural competence is a synonym for competence in a particular area, and is used in a wide variety of contexts.. For example, in the US, a cultural competence job title is often the name of a job that will be considered the best fit for the person, but will not necessarily be a good fit for everyone.. In the UK, the term is also used to describe the kind of person who has good health and is well-informed about the health of their family and friends.. In Ireland, the word is used to identify someone who has achieved cultural competence, and has achieved a certain level of cultural competence.. In Canada, the language is also associated with cultural competence jobs, and in the United States, cultural competence has been defined as being in the academic or educational sector.. So what does this mean?. Well, as the word suggests, cultural competency is a quality that is shared by a group of people.. For people with the correct level of cognitive ability, this means that they can apply ...

Cultural competence training attempts to provide health care professionals with the tools and skills to communicate effectively across cultures. Some hospitals currently incorporate aspects of cultural competence into other trainings for clinicians and other staff. However, rarely, if ever, do these trainings focus on how cross-cultural issues, misunderstandings, and lack of respect for cultural beliefs and traditions, may lead to patient safety events among diverse populations.. In the recommendations below, we link cultural competence with recommendations to improve team communication given its relevance to both patient-staff interactions and staff-to-staff interactions. It is critical that training in cultural competence incorporate information on how issues related to cultural diversity or LEP may contribute to medical errors.. ...

That comment initiated an interesting discussion on whether the mainstream of the genres readership welcomes multicultural Romances, with some anecdotal author evidence suggesting they do not, despite anecdotal reader evidence that they do.. In both cases, I would argue that there has been a conditioning of sorts that has, in one case, cultivated mainstream tolerance of lower production standards, and, in the other case, cultivated mainstream intolerance of certain characteristics in Romance protagonists and settings.. I realize that some might be critical of my decision to talk about production values and multicultural characters/settings in the same post, but I am doing so deliberately, not to diminish the importance of the second issue, but because what I want to offer as a strategy to combat the second issue is, I believe, better illustrated in tandem with the first.. Since I came into the online Romance community (about ten years ago), I have heard the complaints about editing errors and ...

Multicultural and feminist perspectives are characterized by a variety of similarities, and the integration of multicultural and feminist perspectives in counseling psychology has been a key aim of those in these fields for decades.

Cultural competency is now a core requirement for mental health professionals working with culturally diverse patient groups. Cultural competency training may improve the quality of mental health care for ethnic groups. A systematic review that included evaluated models of professional education or service delivery. Of 109 potential papers, only 9 included an evaluation of the model to improve the cultural competency practice and service delivery. All 9 studies were located in North America. Cultural competency included modification of clinical practice and organizational performance. Few studies published their teaching and learning methods. Only three studies used quantitative outcomes. One of these showed a change in attitudes and skills of staff following training. The cultural consultation model showed evidence of significant satisfaction by clinicians using the service. No studies investigated service user experiences and outcomes. There is limited evidence on the effectiveness of cultural

Adults from Eastern (e.g., China) and Western (e.g., USA) cultural groups display pronounced differences in a range of visual processing tasks. For example, the eye movement strategies used for information extraction during a variety of face processing tasks (e.g., identification and facial expressions of emotion categorization) differs across cultural groups. Currently, many of the differences reported in previous studies have asserted that culture itself is responsible for shaping the way we process visual information, yet this has never been directly investigated. In the current study, we assessed the relative contribution of genetic and cultural factors by testing face processing in a population of British Born Chinese adults using face recognition and expression classification tasks. Contrary to predictions made by the cultural differences framework, the majority of British Born Chinese adults deployed Eastern eye movement strategies, while approximately 25% of participants displayed ...

The Case for Cultural Diversity. In essence, cultural intelligence, or CQ, refers to a persons ability to function effectively in situations characterised by cultural diversity. This applies when interacting with people from different countries and different backgrounds while on home turf or overseas.. Having a high CQ means that you understand, and use to your advantage, the knowledge of how and why you should (or shouldnt) behave around people of different cultures.. This brings to mind a fairly recent Yahoo article that illustrated 10 hand gestures that may be totally innocuous in one culture but may be downright offensive in another.. For example, using a curled index finger to beckon someone may be a common occurrence in the west but in our local context and in Japan, that motion signifies death. Your Filipino colleagues wont appreciate it either, as that gesture is used for summoning dogs and thus considered very rude.. So you can just imagine how a workplace comprised of multiple ...

Australia is one of the worlds most culturally diverse nation, based largely on high levels of immigration in the second part of the 20th century. From the 1970s onwards, Australia formally recognized the massive social changes brought about by postwar immigration, and provided legislation to incorporate cultural diversity into everyday lives. One such legislative enactment saw the establishment of multicultural broadcasting in Australia, as arguably a world-first, both in its comprehensiveness and diversity. Today, Australia has a public sector corporation, the Special Broadcasting Service, administering five radio services in 68 languages. Also, the Community Radio sector produces multicultural programming in 100 languages through a number of its 330 broadcast and 207 narrowcast stations. This article examines the relationship between radio and its communities. It argues that despite the profile of SBS television, radio is much closer to its constituent communities, and therefore plays a ...

Hello, my name is Lee, welcome to my blog. Im 17 years old, and very passionate about writing and literature. I am also a Third Culture Kid who has grown up in many different cultures, so this subject of multicultural literature is very close to my heart. Ive lived in China, Cambodia, Thailand, and visited many others countries, and I have friends from all kinds of cultural backgrounds. Learning more about other cultures through literature combines two of the things I am most passionate about, so in my biased view, multicultural literature is one of the most fascinating things I think anyone can learn. That is why this blog aims to take what Ive learned about a few different cultures and their literature, and portray it as best as I can, while also suggesting ways that you can teach others about the themes found in these works. Here is a short overview of multicultural/global literature that you can look over before moving on to the different posts, and I hope you enjoy learning with me. ...

It has been a decade since the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the University of Michigans discriminatory admissions policies. By a 5-4 vote, the justices ruled in Grutter v. Bollinger that the Constitution permitted public universities to employ racial preferences in order to realize the educational benefits that flow from a diverse student body. In an unusual footnote, Justice Sandra Day OConnor suggested that the decision had an expiration date: We expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary.. Michigan voters didnt want to wait. In November 2006, by a 58% majority, they approved Proposal 2, a ballot measure prohibiting state and local government agencies from discriminating on the basis of race (or sex, color, ethnicity or national origin).. A plaintiff group with an unwieldy and Orwellian name-the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration and Immigrant Rights and Fight for Equality by Any Means Necessary-sued.

This is especially true in Brisbane - where you will find some of the best restaurants in Germany.

This has led to the significant number of Asian immigration to Australia, and of course the long existence of the Chinese community in Australia. Australian cuisine inherited its character from a British kitchen. From the cake, with Grilled meat cutlets, lightly cooked vegetables and fries, Australian cuisine has gradually developed. There are now able to accommodate the rights of different Cultures in their country. Modern Australia is a concept from those contained their multicultural culinary influences include shaped.

Its something many LMS students often lament; depending on their position, they may need to undergo compliance training. However, greater complaints down the line can be prevented if compliance training is completed in a serious and effective way.. Compliance training may cover issues ranging from sexual harassment prevention, workplace safety, cultural sensitivity, or respect in the workplace. Oftentimes, to someone taking mandatory compliance training, a topic may feel like common sense, or not worth his or her time. This common attitude towards required training can lead to learning content skimming, skipping of entire sections, and ultimately, guessing on exams and retaking quizzes until the correct answers are guessed.. Students lack of interest in a training topic is often due to a bland training course, as well as the sheer fact that the course is mandatory. This lack of interest can lead to students failure to process the learning content, and to spend the time required to truly learn ...

There are challenges to implementing the steps as outlined above for the breastfeeding-friendly pediatric office practice. Breastfeeding care delivered by physicians in the outpatient practice may be limited by lack of knowledge, skills, time, and cultural sensitivity.23 Breastfeeding management and counseling can be both time consuming and labor intensive. In many health care systems, especially in the United States, practice revenue currently is dependent on volume of visits and patients seen instead of the outcomes of those patients. The AAP Section on Breastfeeding has developed a guide on coding and billing49 as a tool to optimize reimbursement for time spent in breastfeeding support in the office. Coding guidance also is available through the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists for maternal conditions.50 If additional office visits are required beyond those covered for well-child visits, then diagnosis codes should be used for conditions such as jaundice, newborn feeding ...
